Chapter 500 [Wonderful editing, want to cooperate]

This editing was led by Liang Kun, and the editor asked by McDonald to assist. Liang Kun took the initiative to participate in the entire production process of the movie, which is the first time.

He wanted to learn knowledge. After chatting with two great directors, Nolan and Spielberg, Liang Kun knew that if he wanted to make a better movie, he had to have enough control. He had to check all aspects. If there was a problem with one link, the quality of the movie might decline.

The first is the first cut. Liang Kun wants to splice the shooting materials in the order of the script and edit them into a version without visual effects, no narration and music. He took the photo along, and this job is very simple.

He cut out a wonderful story when he first cut, which made the editor and McDonald admire him very much. Like the previous movie, Liang Kun still didn't shoot many useless clips. Because he had clear pictures in his mind for reference, he would not miss the filming and would not be used.

The second is formal editing. This step is for the director to carefully edit and modify the parts that he is not satisfied with in the first editing, and complete the work of the picture here.

Next is color adjustment, an important link. There is a routine for Hollywood movie color adjustment, with dark parts being dark blue, mid-toned tone cyan, bright parts being magenta red, and then the bright parts and mid-toned tone yellow and green through the secondary nodes.

This can correct the white balance of the bright part, improve the saturation of the orange and yellow, enhance the contrast with the dark part, etc., and in short, enhance the overall contrast of the movie. Most Hollywood assembly line assignments are almost tuned in this way, and the audience feels comfortable to watch.

If the color adjustment process is not done well, no matter how much money is spent on special effects, it will not be saved.

The color tuning of the entire film "The Legend of Shushan" is at a disaster level. It was released overseas and was directly distributed by DVDs, but the theaters were not available. People who say "an insurmountable masterpiece" and "seriously underrated" have never seen a movie at all, right? When this thing was released, the reputation was not polarized, and everyone said it was bad.

Liang Kun discussed with the editor that he followed the Hollywood routine. He was surprised to find that when adjusting the color, the system training was also provided with assistance. If the adjustment was not done well, the system would make him feel uncomfortable.

Having assistance means that Liang Kun can cheat, make better-looking movies, and even form his own style.

Many directors have their own favorite tones, such as David Finch, the original director of "The Lost Love", likes black and yellow, and likes to use tones to emphasize the atmosphere. Doing so will look a bit deliberate, but it does make the audience feel better.

"Pacific Rim" director Gilmo del Toro has a high level of cultivation in the tones of the movie. His entire tone is full of futuristic sense, and even a lingering steampunk sense, which renders the doomsday atmosphere of the movie. The sequel to the movie was replaced by a useless director, directly destroying this good IP, and causing the big sweet to take the blame.

"Hero" replaces the color change of the movie with different colors, using red, white and blue to present the appearance of three stories. The rich and overflowing color use has received a lot of praise abroad. Unfortunately, Lao Too later became obsessed with the appearance of five Fuwas.

Liang Kun made adjustments to some details. When recalling Jack, he used a black and white tone, and only the jacket was red. In this tone, Jack looked a little dark in his skin, and his white friend's face was very white, symbolizing his blackening.

When Teresa first appeared, her tone was also darker, symbolizing the character Zoe's inner closure and social disorder. When she finally appeared, she was outdoors, and the light shone on her body, making her blonde hair brighter and her eyes bluer, indicating a new life.

After watching Liang Kun's performance, McDonald called Spielberg. "Steven, I think he can direct "The Lost Lover". He is also a genius in editing and color tuning, and he is very talented in all aspects."

Spieburg smiled and said, "I get it. What do you think the box office prospects of this movie are like?"

"It's certainly not worse than the previous one. He has made progress over the previous one in all aspects. I've never seen a young man who has made such rapid progress." MacDonald sighed.

"I will talk to him tomorrow, thank you."

The next day, Liang Kun went to Spieburg's house for dinner and was very popular with his children.

Sawyer and Sasha went to the set of "Escape Room" and also went to Liang Kun's house to have a meal. They were not polite to Liang Kun and suggested that he go to the kitchen to show off. Liang Kun met their requirements.

In order to cater to Spieburg and his wife's taste, Liang Kun made Cantonese Guangzhou Wenchang Chicken and two vegetarian dishes.

Sawyer helped in the kitchen and said with a smile: "Liang, you didn't choose the time you filmed. The filming started during the World Cup, and the World Cup was over. Didn't you watch the football game?"

"It doesn't matter, I support the Chinese national team. I ended the World Cup journey as early as the Asian qualifiers. I didn't miss anything." Liang Kun replied.

To be precise, it was the Asian qualifiers group stage that was unfortunately eliminated. The performance of the Chinese men's football team was so stable, and they only performed poorly in 2002.

While having a meal, they talked about the movie "The Lost Lover".

Spieburg smiled and said, "Lauri praised you countless times, and you really surprised us. She was very serious when she was a producer, but she said you have stricter requirements for actors."

"They are all talented young actors. If they are stricter, they can act better. The key lies in the actors themselves." Liang Kun said with a smile.

"Are you praising yourself? Everyone says you have the best acting skills in the crew. I am looking forward to the release of this movie and I am willing to work with you to shoot "The Lost Lover". Do you have any plans for that movie?"

"I have taken the time to write the script and I have the confidence to play the leading actor well."

Spieburg was stunned for a moment. "When did you write the script?"

"When I returned to China, I took the time to write it. After I finished writing it, it was not difficult to adapt the script."

"So, you are just practicing this "Escape Room". You haven't prepared for it for a long time, right?" Spipberg was surprised by Liang Kun's work efficiency.

He now believes that Liang Kun is a genius actor, and he can't even understand how Liang Kun takes the time to practice his acting skills.

MacDonald said that Liang Kun's talent is better than Leonardo DiCaprio, and "Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Li

He just stopped being handsome and transformed into a representative of the bitter and revenge faction. His brows were furious and he could hold coins.

Liang Kun's roles are even more different. The characters he plays in the two dramas have completely different personalities. The previous drama portrayed a sunny boy, as if he was a shy college student. This time he played the elite and performed the process of blackening, with darkness hidden under his gentle appearance.

Spipberg was very curious about how far Liang Kun could film in "The Lost Love" and what he performed. Perhaps his directing ability and acting skills will soon be widely recognized.

"I suggest you wait until this movie is released before signing a contract to film "The Lost Lover". As long as the movie gets a high reputation and box office, your value will increase again. Don't you worry, right?"

"Of course there is no hurry. I think I have to wait, because if you want to shoot well, the higher the budget, the better. I think the difficulty of the movie is that you need to choose a big-name heroine with acting skills, and the pay is definitely not cheap."

Spieburg nodded. "You thought very thoughtful."

Liang Kun wrote, directed and acted by himself, and his pay would definitely rise sharply. Because the next drama was his third time writing, directed and acted by himself, and it was his best-selling adaptation. If he had made a big box office hit in two consecutive movies and made money for the film merchants, Paramount would have to win him over, he would definitely have to offer a big contract worthy of his value.

"Do you have an actress you want to work with?" Kate Capshaw asked.

"Charlize Theron, I want to recommend her audition. She has played many roles with a sweetheart in the vase before, and the characters after "The Devil" are very aura. I think she can perform the contrast between Amy before and after."

The original heroine Pei Chunhua and Liang Kun didn't think about it at all. She was born in 1979 and is still too young now. She can play Amy well in 2014, which does not mean she can play well in 2007.

Pei Chunhua's acting skills are still very embarrassing. She has been filming bad movies in recent years. The only role that impressed the audience is "007: Die on a Day", and was stabbed to death by Halle Berry.

Theron's height of 177CM is quite compatible with Liang Kun, and Liang Kun thinks that they can be good at acting together. The only disadvantage of finding Theron is probably that she is too valuable.

Fortunately, she filmed the movie "The Magic Woman" last year, and she was so crazy that no one asked her to film this year. Her cost-effectiveness is very low, and she has never proved that she has box office appeal. She is famous for filming low-cost art films and won the Best Actress Award.

Spieburg smiled and said, "You have a good vision. Let's talk about it then. Let's show me the script first. After the film is edited, do you still want to study on the "Transformers" crew?"

"Of course, I've missed a lot of content." Liang Kun smiled.

The fourth step in film production is composition or selection; the fifth step is inputting special effects; the sixth step is dubbing and synthesis. Liang Kun doesn’t need to stare at these things, just learn about them.

Liang Kun will not give this movie a soundtrack, so the content is destined to not require any special BGM.

Dubbing synthesis is a very interesting part of the movie and also a brain-opening part.

How did Superman make the sound when he landed? The answer was made by the recording engineer pounding his suitcase hard and synthesizing it into the movie. The sound made by the cloak when Superman flew was probably the recording engineer waving a broken piece in front of the electric fan.

There are also many sound effects in "Escape Room" that need to be synthesized and are made by professionals. Liang Kun and McDonald will take a look at the effects and will be responsible for making the decision.

The filming cycle of "Transformers" was very long, starting two weeks earlier than "Escape Room" and is not halfway through.

Liang Kun didn't miss anything. He filmed a literary drama in the early stage. The relationship between the male protagonist Sam and the female protagonist Mikaela, Sam found that his car was alive, etc., there were not many big scenes.

He didn't think he could learn anything when watching Michael Bay film a literary drama. This early impressionable scene was Megan Focus who opened the hood of the car.

He is just about to go to the crew to study now, and he wants to see a tragic and grand scene.
