Of course, the finished product after being edited by Lao Zhang will definitely be very different from the original shooting. Otherwise, many movies would not be marked with various versions after they were released.

For example: director's cut version, so-and-so film festival version, etc.

This is enough to prove that the art form of film, even if it is a finished product, can be modified as long as you want to modify it.

very easy.

Now, let’s see how Lao Zhang behaves!

yes!

It depends on Lao Zhang!

Whether it's on or off the show.

Although Lao Zhang's new movie has been filmed, he has no plans to return to the capital immediately.

His daughter has grown up, and his wife is also a woman with sound mind and strong mobility. There is no need for him to rush back to take care of her all the time.

So, according to the previous agreement, Lao Zhang will continue to stay here for another month.

While finishing the editing, post-production and other work, I will think carefully about it. If there is any need for reshoots, I may have to trouble the leading actors.

If it were an ordinary director, such an action would basically not get the cooperation of the actors. Who is not a big name?

Who doesn’t have a lot of business to get done?

Who has so much time to serve you?

However, since it is Lao Zhang, everything has been discussed. Even if there is no time, verbal agreement must be made first.

As for whether it will really catch up with the reshoots in the end, that will happen later. At this stage, Lao Zhang must be given face.

Otherwise, do you still want to hang out?

Naturally, all the big stars left in droves, but as the prospective son-in-law, Wu Di didn't leave, not because he felt sorry for his father-in-law, but because he still had unfinished work here!

You, Lao Zhang, don’t even think about running away!

What?

forgotten?

How can that be done?

The problem of maze recommendation has not been solved yet!

Xiao Qi had already made preparations, but Wu Di suggested to Lao Zhang several times, but Lao Zhang always turned it down because the movie hadn't been finished yet and he didn't have time.

You can't do anything to him, because what he said is also the actual situation. If you use the registration time to blackmail him, it will have no effect.

He is a frequent visitor to major film festivals, and he knows the registration time better than Xiao Qi.

Don't try to fool him, you still have plenty of time.

What else can you say?

You can only choose to obey.

Is the registration time important?

It's important, of course. After the date, even if you are Hitchcock alive, you won't be able to participate.

However, if you don’t have Lao Zhang’s recommendation, even if you participate in the competition, so what? It’s just a round trip.

So, I can only endure it.

Fortunately, Lao Zhang did not refuse to recommend them, but he just didn't want them to go too smoothly.

Do you think Lao Zhang doesn’t care about face?

People who are familiar with Wu Di will probably know that Wu Di is Lao Zhang's prospective son-in-law and the person Zhang Feng recognized.

In other words, recommending movies in which Wu Di participates is also one of Lao Zhang's responsibilities.

If Lao Zhang had refused in the first place, it would be better to say that I just refused to give you this face.

Wu Di Xiaoqi can also accept it.

However, once you agree to watch the movie, even if you have not yet agreed to the recommendation, this meaning is included.

We have traveled thousands of miles to send you sample films for you to watch in advance. You have also watched the film, but you still don’t recommend it. Doesn’t this mean that you don’t show respect to Wu Di?

Even if Wu Di doesn't hold grudges, Lao Zhang will still feel sorry.

So, in fact, from the day he agreed to watch the film, Lao Zhang was ready to recommend it to them, but he hasn't started writing it yet.

It’s okay to write, but how to write?

How to write?

Lao Zhang is a relatively pragmatic person.

Before recommending, he always has to watch the finished film, and then write a recommendation letter based on the plot and dramatic characteristics.

He is not the kind of person who just agrees and starts talking about good luck. He also knows very well that the juries of those international film festivals are still very professional.

When you recommend a movie, you can’t provide any real information, and people won’t look at you. Therefore, your nonsense won’t have any effect.

It is still necessary to come up with some meaningful recommendations based on the characteristics of the movie.

In order to be able to concentrate on recommending Wu Di, Lao Zhang was fully prepared. Before Xiao Qi arrived, he even found Xiao Qi's graduation works to watch.

It was precisely because of that fifteen-minute short film that Lao Zhang was determined to meet Xiao Qi.

Although it was just a small fragment, although it was just a story about a small person, Lao Zhang still smelled the scent of talent from the simple story.

"Okay, Xiao Wu, you found a treasure!"

Weng and his son-in-law were sitting in the elegant seats of the hotel. The old man opened his mouth and teased Wu Di. Wu Di was simply confused.

"What baby?"

"Why did not I see?"

Lao Zhang smiled happily: "Of course it's Xiao Qi!"

"Can't you hear this?"

Wu Di: How could I possibly hear what you said so obscurely? Is there a direct relationship between the two?

Enough that people can relate to it?

Wu Di didn't say anything, and Lao Zhang continued to express: "This Xiao Qi is very talented. You are really lucky to have such a baby in your arms."

Lao Zhang truly lamented that a co-director could be regarded as promoting Wu Di. Really, I don’t know how big a role this kid played in this movie, but with just one name, he

It's in your hands.

In a general sense, most of these A-category film festivals tend to favor the personal works of a certain director.

I am not very fond of the so-called co-directed works.

But, that doesn't matter.

Although Lao Zhang has not seen the samples of the movie Labyrinth yet, he already has high expectations for this movie.

As a fellow actor, he knows very well that a director's first feature film is often his most talented work.

In this movie, the director's desire for personal expression has reached its peak, and all his thoughts about life and himself that he has accumulated over the past twenty or thirty years are gathered into this movie.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! That kind of emotion and plot design are the most abundant and refined. This unique temperament will probably be difficult for even the director himself to surpass in the future.

.

This is the condensation of talent, the strength gained from years of dormancy and frustration, all poured into this movie.

Think about it, how powerful that power must be!

Such a film with a lot of geniuses was actually obtained by Xiao Wu. How can we not say that he has some means and some luck?

"Mr. Zhang, what kind of talent are you referring to? I don't quite understand."

Didn’t someone also claim to be a director in the future?

Of course, these things need to be inquired about clearly. Anyway, Xiao Qi's people haven't arrived yet, so Wu Di started chatting with Lao Zhang.

"In my opinion, he has strong film-making ability, complete structure of his works, and can faithfully express his own ideas. Don't underestimate this. In fact, many directors cannot do this, including many senior directors.

Great directors all lack abilities in this aspect."

Brother Hai: Just call my name. I can’t hear you anyway.

The situation that Lao Zhang refers to is really a common phenomenon in the contemporary film industry. Many films have a good beginning, are very exciting, and very attractive. When people are attracted by this wonderful beginning, they continue to watch.

, I started to lose energy as soon as I got to the middle part, and as for the end, it was even worse.

You know, a total bust!

This is a situation where the movie is out of control. Generally speaking, when this kind of situation occurs, it can still be analyzed in detail.

Sometimes, it's because the director's control level is not up to par. It's a good story originally, but the director's ability can only support him to get the beginning right. Once it gets to the end, the unfolding of the plot becomes a big problem.

How to fully and clearly express the screenwriter's intention is not easy, so the good story was ruined.
