This Emperor is Only An Actor

For a movie to finally take shape, it requires the division of labor and cooperation of many people.

Many directors have the final editing rights, but this does not mean that these directors will edit the movie themselves.

Industry specializing in surgery.

The editor's editing is naturally more professional than the director's.

So Yue Guan didn't think about editing by himself, he just kept an eye on the point and didn't deviate from the finished product in his mind.

The specific editing work, of course, still needs to be done by a master editor.

So he found Du Yuan.

Du Yuan and Wu Ershan have a friendship, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Dragon Hunting Tale" was edited by Du Yuan and directed by Wu Ershan.

Yue Guan got Du Yuan's contact information from Wu Ershan, and then took the initiative to contact Du Yuan, and only then did he have today's meeting.

"You praise me so highly, if I don't accept your scene, I'll feel embarrassed." Du Yuan said.

She really couldn't bear Yue Guan's enthusiasm.

Yue Guan smiled and said, "I'm just expressing my feelings. If you can continue, that's of course the best."

"Charlotte Annoyance" was edited by Du Yuan in her previous life.

Those who have seen it will naturally know how the finished product is.

There must be no problem asking her to edit "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

Yue Guan was very assured of Du Yuan's editing ability.

Du Yuan himself was a little worried.

In this life, the script of "Charlotte's Annoyance" is still sealed in Yue Guan's hands. Although Du Yuan has already edited many commercial films, the pure comedy film is "Blooming Heart".

Moreover, the comedy in "Blooming Hearts" is actually not very pure. The heroine is obviously a literary one.

Du Yuan doesn't have much experience in editing comedy movies.

She too had to feel her way.

So Du Yuan took the initiative to ask, "What are your requirements for editing?"

Yue Guan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Du, I want pure comedy."

"Pure comedy?"

"Yes, just to make the audience laugh, don't think about leaving any metaphors and irony, those are secondary. The biggest purpose of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is to make the audience laugh, and make the audience laugh harder The better." Yue Guan said seriously.

Du Yuan was a little curious: "Don't you need to express something else?"

Among the directors she worked for before, she had never seen anyone ask for such a request.

Because it is difficult to reflect the director's awesomeness in a movie that is purely aimed at making the audience laugh.

Even if it's Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy movie, if you watch it carefully, it is definitely not purely funny.

But Yueguan is.

Yue Guan confirmed: "You don't need to express other things, just do the purest comedy, and the core doesn't have to be tragedy."

"Yueguan, you are really different from other directors." Du Yuan said with some emotion, "If you know how I edit, even if this movie is successful, it will be difficult for you to be regarded as a great director in the industry."

Yue Guan chuckled: "That's not important. The success of the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is the most important thing, and the most important thing is to make the audience laugh. It never matters whether the director is good or not. When I watched the movie I don't like other directors instilling private goods, I make films myself, and I don't deliberately instill my own subjective consciousness, this is called the unity of knowledge and action."

Du Yuan gave Yue Guan a thumbs up: "No wonder you have the current status, Yue Guan, although you are young, you live a very transparent life."

Yue Guan smiled and said: "It may also be because I am still young, so I still retain some original intentions. When I am ten years old, my thoughts may change at that time."

"I hope not, because a pure director like you is a blessing to our editors." Du Yuan said.

If the director wants to keep some of his own views and tell the audience some of his own cognition through the movie, it will be very tortured for the editor.

Because the editor will be caught in a dilemma of choice. Some scenes are clearly known to the editor that it will not be smooth with the whole play, but the editor also knows that the director wants to keep this scene, so the editor will be very embarrassed.

In China, the director generally has the final editing rights, so most of the movies we see are the movies the director wants us to see.

And if the director has no special requirements for a play, and does not attempt to express his own opinions, then it will be much easier for the editor.

Just edit whatever is beneficial to the quality of the whole play.

There is no need to consider other issues at all.

This kind of work is much easier than other movies.

Before coming to see Yueguan, Du Yuan never thought of rejecting Yueguan. She has no brain problems, and it must be a great thing to get online with Yueguan. Although she is not young, she is not ready to quit the circle, and of course she wants to win a few more awards.

So Du Yuan was ready for a protracted war with Yueguan.

In her cognition, Yue Guan, a star who became famous at a young age, is still a director for the first time, so he must have a lot of thoughts and ideas.

She had to find a balance between Yue Guan's ideas and the quality of the movie, and she couldn't ruin her own brand.

But Yueguan is far more enlightened and simple than she imagined.

"Show me the finished product you have shot." Du Yuan said.

"Please, Teacher Du."

Yueguan led the way for Du Yuan.

Of course he had to discuss it with Du Yuan. Editing was already a part of post-production. He had to stare at it and give a big frame for Du Yuan to move around in this big frame and show off his skills.

After more than three hours.

Du Yuan watched all the finished plots of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" filmed by Yueguan.

The way she looked at Yueguan was completely different from before.

"Yue Guan, you are definitely a genius." Du Yuan's eyes were full of admiration: "Do you know? After I finished watching "The Richest Man in Xihong City", I thought of someone."

"who?"

"Ning Hao when he was filming "Crazy Stone". "Crazy Stone" is Ning Hao's famous work, and I edited that movie. When I first saw the rough cut plot of "Crazy Stone", I confirmed that Ning Hao Hao is definitely a genius director, and now I have this feeling again."

"Mr. Du, you are too famous. Compared with Director Ning, I am much worse." Yue Guan still has this bit of self-knowledge.

Not to mention Ning Hao, Director Bi's theoretical skills in directing are much stronger than him, and even his practical skills are better than him.

It's just that Director Bi is really a bit bad in terms of aesthetics.

Du Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not the same, you each have their own geniuses. Ning Hao's genius lies in his strong personal style, and his talent can be seen at a glance. You are different, see "The Richest Man in Xihong City" It looks like a very funny comedy movie, but you didn't highlight the director's presence throughout the whole process, and really shot a pure comedy without trying to instill any point of view."

"That was my original intention."

"I have been an editor for so many years, and I have never seen many directors who can restrain their expression **, Yueguan, you are definitely the best among them. Moisturizing things silently, you are walking on the road of a master, and you will definitely Become a master director." Du Yuan said seriously.

Yue Guan smiled: "Mr. Du, let's stop bragging about business. It shouldn't be difficult to cut "The Richest Man in Xihong City", right?"

"It's not difficult, it's very simple. You shoot very concisely. I must praise you again. The editor is the newest director like you."

"Mr. Nadu, can you introduce to me a few
