Hollywood legendary director

The headquarters building of Europa Pictures, an editing room.

Ryan is combing and inserting the voice-overs of the movie with his headset, that is, the narration.

Thomas was sitting in front of the editing stage, looking at the rough cut footage of "Bad Guy", looking for suitable editing points.

On the ground, two big men hit the floor.

There is no focus in the eyes.

Last night, they edited it all night, which was crazy.

Of course, the two of them were also interested, and the inspiration was surging, and they couldn't stop it.

In this editing, Wen Ziren was also fortunate to be pulled into the group by Lehman.

As a director, it is good to have more relevant experience.

And last night, it was the two of them who worked together in the editing.

After resting for an unknown period of time, Lyman, who was not drowsy, simply sat down and watched the progress of work after Ryan and Thomas took over.

"How much did you do?"

"264 minutes." Thomas turned his head, his energy looked good, "There are still more than ten minutes of material left to cut."

In other words, after they finished filming, they each had a three-day holiday, and then assembled again to complete the post-production work of the film.

Counting the days, as of today, they have been in the editing room for almost a week.

Of course, the progress of the work is correct for their efforts, and now they have started to re-cut.

After all, the post work of "Bad Guy" is not cumbersome. There is neither excessive use of computer cg special effects, nor the need to render the lens background.

At this rate, Lehman is confident that the entire post-production of the film will be completed in early May.

It is now that he insists that most of the real-life benefits of the lens are truly reflected.

In the following time, the group continued to devote themselves to the movie editing.

After another three days, the recut was completed, and Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack team was invited to Paris to join the production.

Since the last time they completed the "Furious" project, they have also met each other.

Lehman recognized the abilities of his team, and this time he also looked for them for the soundtrack of "Bad Guy".

I cut it again, and the duration of the film was controlled at about 153 minutes.

The time came to May 3, when Luc Besson of Europa Pictures called and said that the movie trailer could be used to promote the promotion.

Lehman had nothing to do, and spent a day dedicated to cut out a 90-second movie trailer.

However, after editing, a special soundtrack is needed.

In this regard, Hans-Zimmer proposed a plan.

"There is a company that specializes in soundtracks for trailers. If you want to launch it quickly, just find them."

Because the movie requires several original soundtracks for the scene, his team has been busy recently, and there is not much time to score the trailer.

Afterwards, Hans Zimmer briefly introduced the trailer soundtrack company called "Intuition Music".

"Currently in the market, their company has a very large music copyright library. Most of these music are very universal music clips. We call it material music in the industry, which is very suitable for the editing of movie trailers."

The so-called material music is developed with media such as movies, television, radio, and games. "Intuitive Music" companies are consciously creating some universally usable tunes to license to some film studios or TV stations, radio stations, and games. Production company, to collect copyright fees.

So if everyone hears a piece of music that is familiar, not only can you see it when you play games, but you can also hear it when you watch videos.

It is common for the same material music to appear in various media, and those companies also rely on this multi-faceted authorization to make money.

"Intuition Inc." is particularly good at movie trailers. Trailers for movies such as "Independence Day", "Mission Impossible", and "Harry Potter" all have traces of it.

This kind of professional assembly line mass-produced musical note combination is not only very selective, but also has a high quality guarantee. It can fit the theme of a movie as much as possible, and it also greatly improves the production efficiency of trailers.

With the development of commercial films becoming more and more prosperous and the need for propaganda methods, this kind of trailers with simple soundtracks has gradually become the mainstream of Hollywood.

It can be said to be a product that conforms to the times and market development.

"Okay, I'll get in touch now."

A day later, the relevant person in charge of "Intuitive Music" came to Paris and brought a dozen more suitable simple tunes.

After Hans Zimmer's selection, he chose one of them.

To this end, Europa Pictures paid a licensing fee of $100,000.

Don't underestimate the money. After the authorized soundtrack is released in the movie, the right to use it is still in "Intuitive Music", and they can also authorize it twice.

This kind of copyright recycling is a fairly stable and long-term source of income. Therefore, these soundtrack companies are earning super high return feedback with very small investment.

After the issue of the trailer was quickly resolved, before the summer vacation schedule, Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures used their resources to quickly push it to the market.

Carriers such as TV station advertisements and large-screen movie inserts have also completed the task very well.

Suddenly, the discussion about "Bad Guy" suddenly increased.

Especially the protagonists in the trailer, especially the confrontation between Tom Cruise and Nicholas Cage in the warehouse, aroused a lot of curiosity among movie fans.

"Well, you will solve her." Cage, with a calm face, took out a gun, carefully loaded the bullet and gave it to Tom.

The composure Tom took the gun and pulled the trigger at the female owner of the cigar house in the iron barrel...

In this conversation, the eyes and movements of the two are in place.

According to movie fans, even if Nicholas Cage is fine, when is Tom Tom full of drama?I really want to watch the whole movie.

After the trailer was fermented for a period of time, the PR team of Paramount Pictures quickly made efforts again to buy the front page headlines of major media and newspapers to praise Tom Cruise for his hard work in filming "Bad Guy". I don’t need a stand-in for any fights, I almost fainted in the end when I insisted on shooting under the high temperature, and the script was ripped apart for trying to figure out how to perform well...

Anyway, how to attract the attention, as to whether it is true, who cares?

Exaggeration is a little exaggeration, but the effect is really amazing.

Over the years, it has not been a day or two to boast about Tom Cruise, and he does have this qualification.

At least, people really worked hard when shooting, not all fakes.

And these reports in the media, in addition to winning the sympathy of fans and audiences, have also aroused some people's desire to watch movies.

Random survey data conducted by a street survey company hired by Paramount Pictures is quite strong proof.

In the Paramount Pictures headquarters building in Hollywood, the senior marketing department who was in a meeting reported the information collected in this regard.

"In this random survey, a total of 4,620 people were asked. The majority of the population was 16 to 45 years old. Among them, more than 83% had heard or read related news about "Bad Guy", and more than 62% Of people expressed interest, and more than 20% said they would definitely enter the theater to support."

Terry stood in front of the projector, switching information, and introduced in detail: “Most of the remaining people said that they would decide whether to watch the movie according to the quality of the movie. About 12% Not interested, there are some investigators who expressed disgust for Tom Cruise's joining."

disgust?I don't care about which movie star is not a fan.

After listening to everyone, Shirley Lansing’s face showed a satisfied smile, “It seems that we are doing a good job. The focus of the next propaganda can be moved to Nicholas Cage and director Lyman. He is like every director who is becoming famous, and he is establishing his own reputation as a director. Let's not let go of our advantages in this regard."

"Yeah." The director of the Publicity Department of Paramount Pictures responded by saying that he knew.

"How do Europa Pictures arrange it? Did they say it?" Shirley Lansing continued.

"They will help "Bad Guy" enter the list of the organizers of the Cannes International Film Festival this year. They will first use the Cannes Film Festival to build momentum and prepare for the premiere in the two places to maximize the effect of publicity."

"Well, that's it. We will continue to maintain our existing publicity efforts, and we will only wait for the Cannes Film Festival to increase resources and concentrate on publicity."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"The meeting is over."

......

In the editing room of Europa Pictures, Wen Ziren was in a great mood.

When filming "Bad Guy", he felt constantly surprised. In order to achieve the imaging effect Lehman wanted, he was humbly taught.

Now, when I see the film, I feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

"It's wonderful." His face was ruddy and he looked at "Bad Guy" that was playing.

This film has benefited a lot from Wen Ziren.

Lyman on the side is also very relaxed, and the hard work during this period of time can be regarded as fruitful.

Indoors, Ryan, Thomas and others were also excited and excited.

"Huh, you must take a good bath tonight and get a good night's sleep." Ryan said with some emotion after the movie was over, and there was nothing wrong with the inspection.

Throughout the three weeks of food and housing without leaving post-production, Ryan felt that he had lost a lot of weight.

Finally, he didn't have to look at the shooting material, he felt that he was reborn.

"Let's go, let's have a good meal first." Lehman greeted the film first after sealing the film.

A group of people walked comfortably in the Europa Films park, and soon came to a restaurant.

After ordering the food, Lyman called George again and asked him to make a few more copies of the film.

Then, he called Luc Besson and said it was about finishing the post-production.

Put down the phone, and the food has arrived.
