Chapter 4 Post-Editing "Whoo~"Chen An breathed a sigh of relief. After the failure of yesterday's shooting, we started gathering for shooting again early this morning. Looking at Wang Jianguo, whose face was haggard and whose eyes were bloodshot, Chen An guessed that he did not sleep last night. But in Chen An's opinion, this feeling is good. In the camera, he is at a loss while holding the baby. She looked confused and haggard, and the camera flashed to see her wife lying on the ground. That look of pain made Chen An sigh in his heart: "Is he a genius?!" Chen An estimated that at this rate, the filming would be completed in two or three days, after which it could be sent to school for post-production. "Click~!" This scene has been shot. Chen An ended the shooting and asked the makeup artist to touch up his makeup before preparing to go to the next shooting location. The hero picked up some meat on the road as a preparation, and Chen An spent money to buy some scraps as a substitute.
The filming also came to the interaction between the male protagonist and the child. Chen An did not have such a high-end balloon blowing machine, so he used his mouth to blow it instead. The filming of this scene was not smooth at the beginning, but the child was surprisingly well-behaved and did not cry or make a fuss. Occasionally he would smile foolishly at others, which made Chen An worried. Wang Jianguo could still communicate with him, but Chen An really had no way to deal with this kind of child. But in the end, it was the sister who worked on the stage who took care of it, and Chen An gave her an extra 50 yuan. It seemed that he really treated the baby as his own child, and Wang Jianguo behaved very well. There is a hint of tiredness in the concern for the children, but it is also extremely firm. "Makeup artist, you will also go up and perform later. You will be the woman who holds the child in her arms in the end." "Stage attendant, take this gun model and squat at a distance, taking aim." Before I knew it, it was time to shoot the last scene. Chen An also found the shooting much easier. But for the last two men, Chen An wanted Boss Lin’s two security guards to perform. This sturdy body looks very majestic, suitable for a security guard. "Brother Zhao, Boss Lin will be here soon. I would like to invite you and another big brother to perform together. Is that okay?" "Me? No problem. If the boss says it's okay, then it's fine." Zhao Xiong, who had been guarding the theater and said little, nodded and replied. "Okay, no problem. I'll discuss this with Boss Lin later." Today is the last scene of the filming, and Chen An also called Boss Lin over. Finally, the makeup artist is holding the child and looking into the distance.
Hair fluttering in the wind, accompanied by the sunset, not far away. Two bodyguards, acting as guards, are shown burying this great father with shovels. Filming is finished! "It's done!" After filming the last scene, Chen An put down the camera and shouted! Although Boss Lin was also present, everyone cheered after four days of filming. Chen An also walked up to Boss Lin and said, "Boss Lin, the filming of the short film is over." "I want to take it back to school for post-production. What do you think?" "School?" "Yes, I'm a student of Beijing Film Academy, as you know. I can't run away now that the filming is over. If you have any questions, you can come to the school to find me directly." Boss Lin thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, show it to me when you're done." "No problem, leave your phone number so I can contact you." Chen An nodded in reply. Then write down Boss Lin’s phone number. Everyone else felt very happy. The work was done. What was supposed to take a month was completed in four days. Although there was no bonus packet, I was quite satisfied. "Director, thank you. This is my first time playing a leading role. Thank you for taking the trouble to teach me. I really trouble you." Wang Jianguo also came up immediately to express his gratitude. The face, which was a little yellow and bloodstained, was full of smiles. "After all, it was me who filmed the video. There's nothing to thank me for. You can go back to be with your kids. Haha." Chen An waved his hand. After the filming was completed, he didn't care about anything else. Chen An returned to school with the film and lighting technician Cao Kang. I have to say this thing is pretty heavy. They kept it in a box and brought it back together. "Brother Cao, please help me and watch this for a while. I'll go in to find the teacher." Chen An filled a cigarette for Cao Kang who was with him and asked him to wait. "No problem, I'll wait for you here." He took the cigarette and lit it without any hesitation. Chen An walked into the building alone to find his photography teacher. "Dong Dong~" Standing at the door, Chen An knocked on the office door first.
Then he walked in. I saw the teacher chatting with the person sitting next to him. He is an old man with somewhat gray hair. Chen An's pupils shrank. This was a great man, the director of the photography department, Gan Quan! He has countless students under him, and many talented people are known all over the world. Zhang Yimou was taught by him! "Xiao Chen? Didn't you ask for leave to go to the crew? Why are you back?" Teacher Mu Deyuan asked when he saw Chen An knocking on the door and walking in. "Hello, Director Gan. I need to explain this to you, teacher." Chen An said with an embarrassed look on his face. "Oh, what's the matter, Xiao Chen, you are still a freshman, right? You went out to film? I want to hear it." Gan Quan, who was sitting next to him, asked with a smile. Chen An also started to explain, starting with the senior brother Liu who had already graduated. Then when the shooting of the short film was finished, I would also like to talk about the post-production work done at my school. After hearing Chen An's explanation, Gan Quan said nothing, but smiled and shook his head. Mu Deyuan held his forehead with his hand in silence and said unhappily: "I will report this to the directing department. You are really caught in such a mess." "I don't know whether to say you are unlucky or lucky." Chen An also said helplessly: "Then I have no choice. Anyway, the situation was like that at that time. I can only give it a try." "Okay, you can ask your teacher Mu for help later. I will tell the school about this matter. I'm leaving now." After listening to this, Gan Quan stood up and patted Chen An on the shoulder and said, halfway through his walk, he turned around and said, "Oh, that's right, when the film is out, ask me to come over and watch it together. I want to see what kind of film you, a freshman, can make." Then left the office. After the director left, Teacher Mu also said, "Okay, I will ask the school to find a few students to help you with post-production." "When you're done, take it out and look at it. If it's good, you can ask the school to find someone to help you submit it abroad for registration." Chen An immediately nodded happily: "Okay, no problem, I'll wait for your notification." After saying that, he turned around and left the office in a hurry. Teacher Mu was left alone and pressed his temples, feeling that it was difficult to handle. He also needed to find someone to help Chen An with the post-production. I didn’t think I could make any good films. After all, I’m just a freshman, what kind of films can I make? When the finished film is ready, I will definitely have to invite a lot of people to watch it together, but just treat it as an experiment, it’s good enough that it can be filmed.
Chen An is lucky. Chen An came out and asked Cao Kang to take the film back to the dormitory together. The next day, I received a call from Teacher Mu, and asked a few seniors to come over and help with the post-production. Chen An brought the film and the script with him. The script is not long and can be read quickly, which will also make it easier to edit later. The Beijing Film Academy has a strong faculty, post-editing is almost effortless, and the equipment is complete. Moreover, the students there have watched a large number of films and have had some exposure to zombies or the living dead. I also have some understanding of the five laws of zombies, so editing went smoothly, and Chen An was also there to help. "You are so lucky, you have encountered such a thing, and the script is not bad." "That's right. Although there are no lines, he appears to be a living dead, but the whole story is full of fatherly love." "It's really good. There are no lines in the whole film, just like fatherly love is all silent care. Fuck, I'm so jealous!" After editing for a while, Chen An gave a pack of cigarettes to each of the seniors who came out to rest, and they all started smoking. He said to Chen An while smoking. "No, but I am really lucky to have this opportunity." "That's true. You can actually run into something like this. It's hard to believe when you hear it. Hahaha." When they thought of the story Chen An told them, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. After smoking, they went into the editing room together and started working again. A few days later, the finished film with the soundtrack appeared in front of everyone! It's full, but I don't know if it can be approved and signed.
