Chapter 798 A Director Who Doesn't Know Editing Is Not A Good Director

"Indeed, I have seen a disc of the bloody duo. It is indeed as beautiful and romantic as you said, Mr. Wu." Billy Christo nodded: "Then Director Wu, I have a question for you. ."

Wu Yusen looked at Billy Christo and nodded, meaning you just ask.

Billy Christo thought for a while and said: "We all know that your directors in Hong Kong have great autonomy, and the final editing rights are in the hands of the director. But Mr. Wu, you should know that in Hollywood, the director does not have editing. Right, the right to edit is in the hands of the producer. What do you think about the issue that the director does not have the right to edit."

Billy Christo’s question is very acute, and this is the biggest contradiction between Hollywood directors and producers.

Directors all want editing rights, because only with the editing rights can they ensure that the cut film has the style they want and the content they want to express.

But this is also a right that producers or film investors are never willing to surrender.

Because what the producers want is not the style of the movie, or what they want to express. As the plenipotentiary representatives of the investors, the producers want to make money to make movies.

As long as they can make money, they don't care about anything else.

As for whether the movie can make money, the producers feel that they can see more clearly than the director who wants to have his own style.

Therefore, for directors who always want to develop their own style, the Producers League will never give them editing rights.

Then the issue of editing rights has become a knotty knot that the director and the producer cannot solve.

In Hollywood, the big conflicts or contradictions between the director and the producer all come from the issue of editing rights.

The director wants to make what he wants to express, but what the producer wants is a movie that can make a profit.

Therefore, the issue of editing rights is a very sensitive issue in Hollywood.

For a director who is new to Hollywood, it is best not to talk about this sensitive issue.

However, Wu Yusen is not worried about this, because his boss is Qiao Feng, even in Hollywood, there is Qiao Feng standing behind him. For Qiao Feng, who has cooperated many times, Wu Yusen believes that even if he does the same in the countryside, Qiao Feng will not Deprived of the final editing rights.

Because Wu Yusen without editing rights is not Wu Yusen.

"This is how I think about editing rights, because I attach great importance to editing, and I am good at editing, so I encourage young friends to learn from directors. The fastest and best way is to start with editing.

In the 1960s, the film master David Lean, he turned out to be a very good photographer. He later shot "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivago". He was a great director. Others are like Hitchcock. Kirk, he is also very good at editing.

When I was making a movie, because the editors were all of the older generation, they weren’t used to shots without splitters. He didn’t know how to connect and cut a scene, so the scene became very interesting. Yes, I cut most of the scenes myself.

I talked to my deputy director and he cut it for me.Filming was crazy at that time. I filmed during the day and cut the film at night. I cut my teeth before dawn and went to film again.

My studio is also an editing room. My studio only has a toothbrush, a sleeping bag, and three chairs stitched together to form my bed.

I know how to edit this movie, and I like to study editing. I really believe that, like a director said, he has an innovation in every play, and he innovates a new technique in every play.

So I also hope to make new skills in each of my plays. As a result, there are some editing methods that I can't imagine, so successful. Some of them are used by some film schools as teaching materials.

Those several editing methods were produced under very interesting circumstances. During the shooting, some of them had been done before, that is, a killer and a police detective appeared in different panes, and the two of them interacted with each other. I cut into the mental state of the other party, the way, and the editing of fighting, I cut it myself.

In addition, some editing methods are quite clever and fun.So later, I also participated in the editing. In the end, the editing of the whole scene was finished and the filming was over. Then my team said that the scene was so romantic.

The actors thought it was the third episode of "The True Colors of Heroes", but they didn't expect it to be such a movie.So this movie, many have some experience in creation, I think it is quite fun.It's worth talking to you now.This is the most laissez-faire and free film I have made."

"Mr. Wu, you are letting it go and you are free, but I think when the final film is going to be the original film, I think the original filming is crazy, you want you to shoot 40,000 feet, and there is no venue. , And there is no board, how can I copy it, watch the film number and copy it?" Billy Christo looked weird in silence for the editing.

Wu Yusen couldn’t help but laughed, but he explained, “We didn’t have a recording when we were shooting. Because in Hong Kong, the first is to save money, and the second is because of the action scene, the use of the lens, and the action. The way, the degree of freedom is relatively large, and is not affected by the recording equipment.

But we still used the original voice for dubbing. I didn't have a monitor when I filmed the movie. We must be trained to have a high level of memory from the beginning.

Whether it’s the venue or the deputy director, we are all very familiar with the camera lens. It is clear what kind of picture this lens can produce, and what kind of effect this orbital lens will produce.

I don't need to look at the camera. As long as I see this lens application and cooperate with the actors' performance, I can immediately see whether the shots they took are good or bad.

No, try again immediately.

When you’re halfway through your exercise, and not halfway through, walk around a bit and come back quickly.And the composition is very clear.

So being familiar with the camera, editing, mastering and grasping, coupled with a sense of music, is of great help to the director."

"Can you tell me more about how it was cut? I think the audience is also very curious about how such a film was cut." Billy Christo interacted with the audience after asking questions.

The audience at the scene also shouted for face and wanted to know.

The audience wanted to know that Wu Yusen was very happy, which shows that everyone still likes to listen to what he said. He smiled and said: "When it comes to editing this scene, we all cut the film at that time, which was very fun.

We would hang the raw footage around our necks, and then hang them one by one, and then put them one by one, and then cut them. Sometimes the whole floor is covered with fragments, so my deputy director Liang Baijian The director, he is by the side, usually give me the serial number of the shots I need, first help me put it together, Zhou Run comes in first, and then the killer ambushes... He puts the serial number on the row, and I move it a little bit Click, and then cut off the head and tail of each lens and put them together to create one picture..."
