Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Chen Xiao flipped to the end, nodded calmly, and returned the tablet to the assistant.

"Judging from the information they already know, it is natural to have these doubts, and it is not a bad thing. Don't watch it anymore, take some rest. I have to go to the post-production base the day after tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiao stood up.

The assistant was a little stunned,"Director Chen, aren't you angry when they doubt you like this?"

"What's there to be angry about? It's too cold after sitting for so long, I'm going back."

After saying that, Chen Xiao rubbed his hands and returned to the hotel.

The media hasn't seen the feature film of"Farewell My Concubine", so it's normal for them to come up with new ideas for the sake of traffic.

Behind him, the assistant looked at him with admiration.

Oh, Director Chen has a really good attitude.

It's also because Director Chen has a good attitude at ordinary times, and he basically won't be scolded when he makes mistakes.

So he has always been very grateful to Director Chen for tolerating him.

Now that he sees the media questioning him, he wants to write down these media and slap them in the face later.

But since Director Chen said so, forget it.

……

After a day's rest,

Chen Xiao brought his team to the post-production base.

Post-production includes editing, sound processing, color grading, visual effects, film output and quality inspection.

When making"Titanic", he focused on the soundtrack.

But this time, there are a large number of opera experts in the crew.

He naturally doesn't have to worry about the opera accompaniment.

In addition, the Ministry of Culture previously estimated that he would compose pop songs, but was not good at heavy styles, so it specially invited an old composer to be responsible for the theme song.

He didn't have to do the theme song himself.

It's good, leaving some creative space for other crew members.

And this time he really didn't want to take care of the music.

He wanted to focus on color grading and visual effects.

The color tones and visual effects are full of metaphors. I really don't feel at ease leaving it to others. After two days of busy editing work, New Year's Day came.

After a short three-day break, the post-production team returned to the base again.

Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the morning of January 14th.

In the post-production base, in front of three monitors,

Chen Xiao sat side by side with the visual effects artist.

On the screen, a clip from Farewell My Concubine is playing.

To protect himself, Duan Xiaolou draws a line between himself and Juxian in public.

The next scene fades in slowly.

The special effects artist presses the pause button.

The camera shoots upward, making the audience feel as if someone is lying here, looking up.

Above, flames are blazing, and this person is like lying on a battlefield of defeat.

(Picture in the comments section)

"Director Chen, are you referring to this scene?"

Yesterday, the special effects for this clip were completed.

Chen Xiao just called him and told him that the special effects for this scene were missing.

But this is already perfect, right?

The failed battlefield and the swallowing feeling of the falling flames are all shown.

Is it because the flying ashes are not miserable enough?

""Yes." Chen Xiao said,"Move forward a little and tune to the scene where Juxian just faded in."

The special effects artist moved forward half a second.

Chen Xiao nodded, pointed to the lower right corner, and said to the special effects artist:"Add two drops of sliding tears here, and slide them to the bottom of the screen." The special effects artist was stunned.

The effect after adding appeared in his mind. (The picture is in the comment area)

Hiss - the special effects artist couldn't help but shudder.

So sad...

These two drops of tears are really a stroke of genius!

He nodded slowly and swallowed,"Change it, I'll change it right away"

"Then you go ahead and do your work. Send it to me after you have revised it." Chen Xiao stood up from his chair, patted his shoulder, and walked towards the door.

The special effects artist immediately stood up,"Take care."

Chen Xiao left the room, but the shock in the special effects artist's heart did not stop.

He thought that the shot was perfect enough.

Unexpectedly, a tear made the tragedy of the entire criticism meeting reach a new level.

This idea is really... God!

After sighing for a moment, he immediately found the tear shape from the material library and started to make special effects.

Another week passed, and it was a sunny afternoon.

Just when netizens thought that they would have to wait another month or two to see"Farewell My Concubine".

Chen Xiao had already taken the CD and came to the Ministry of Culture.

Director Li's office.

Chen Xiao knocked on the door and entered,"Director Li, the post-production of"Farewell My Concubine" is completed, and this is the CD."

Director Li stood up, walked to the sofa, took the CD, and said in surprise:"You are too fast."

Although I knew that Chen Xiao planned to finish the film in 20 days, and I received a call from Chen Xiao the night before yesterday to schedule a meeting.

But looking at the CD with the poster of the main actor in my hand, I still couldn't believe it.

Knowing that he was fast, I specially approved the funding for only half a year.

In the end, it was finished in three months?

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll ask two people to take a look at it first and do a simple review. If there are no problems, we'll arrange for a group viewing in the afternoon."

The notice for group viewing was sent out yesterday.

However, just in case, before showing it to everyone, we need to check whether there are any overly provocative factors.

If so, the group viewing activity will be cancelled.

Chen Xiao nodded,"Okay, no problem."

Director Li patted him on the shoulder and said with concern:"You've worked hard during this period. Take a good rest from now on. The department will handle the broadcast matter."

He had heard about Chen Xiao's hard work during this period.

Since the casting, he has been busy day and night.

Even when he went to Cannes to receive an award, he did not rely on his talent to be arrogant when he came back, but continued to shoot steadily.

He is talented, humble, polite, and conscientious.

Everything is far superior to his peers, even to 99% of film and television people.

This made his appreciation for Chen Xiao explode!

In fact, he had an idea in his mind a long time ago.

Let Chen Xiao join the Ministry of Culture!

However, ordinary administrative positions are too wasteful of his talent.

In the past half month, he has been thinking about how to let Chen Xiao join the Ministry of Culture without wasting his talent, so that he can shine without delaying the filming of works? After thinking about it for half a month, he finally thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.

Director Li said kindly:"Chen Xiao, I heard from Teacher Lu Qi that you have a lot of insights into literature and art. Are you willing to become a policy advisor to the Ministry of Culture?"
