Chapter 16 The Collapsing Tang Xirui
Due to the lack of time, after the filming, Gao Shuang plunged straight into the editing room of the academy.

The standards for this competition are relatively high. The school distributed standard 35mm film to each crew instead of the 16mm film generally used to shoot experimental films.

The length of a 35mm film is 400 feet, and the standard shooting time is 4 minutes and 8 seconds.

So Gao Shuang's 120-minute original film has a full 30 volumes of film!

After being flushed through the academy's relationship, Gao Shuang started the hard editing work!

The editing mentioned here is really taking the scissors to cut the excess part from the film!

Then stick the lens that needs to be connected with tape.

In fact, this ancient method has long been used in modern post-processing.

Generally, film companies will first perform telecine transfer after developing the film.

Non-destructive transfer of film to Digital Intermediate (DI).

Then you can edit, animate, grade, and more on your computer.

If you are doing telecine at an outside film company, the hourly length of the film is probably between 2500-3000 yuan.

Gao Shuang's school also has these devices, so it can be converted to electronic format for free.

However, if you think that's the end of it, be naive!
After the digital intermediate film is processed, it has to go through a process of magnetic transfer.

This is the re-exposure of the film in digital format onto film.

And the magnetic transfer fee is calculated in seconds!

The magnetic transfer film costs about 200 yuan per second, and the cost mainly comes from the high price of new film.

Therefore, if Gao Shuang does not choose to cut the original film directly, he will face a huge cost of more than one million yuan for magnetic transfer in the last step!
At that time, Gao Shuang is likely to go bankrupt in place!

Manual editing itself is not a difficult task to master. Slowly, it is necessary to repeatedly find keyframes on the film viewer and glue the cut pieces of film together.

As a beginner and unfamiliar with the operation, Gao Shuang spent five days in the school's editing room before finally editing the film to his satisfaction.

The cut film took 92 minutes, a little longer than the original film.

But basically within the acceptable range!

Watched it with the school projector!Gao Shuang is very satisfied with the effect of the film.

No matter from the picture or the performance of the actors, it has reached his psychological expectations.

Finally, the finished film was converted into a digital film with the school's machine, and the film version was sealed.

……

When he walked out of the editing room, Gao Shuang realized that there was a light rain outside.

Breathing in the fragrance of the soil moistened by the rain, there is a feeling of being in a different world.

Gao Shuang hugged the hard drive to his chest and rushed to the office of the Director Department in the light rain. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Xirui sitting at her desk, earnestly correcting the screenwriting assignments handed in by the classmates.

Looks peaceful and gentle.

"Mr. Tang, the movie is finished!"

Gao Shuang walked closer and handed over the hard drive with the digital tablet in his hand.

Tang Xirui picked up the hard drive and looked at him with a smile: "If you don't come to me again, I'm going to find you too! Tomorrow is the deadline, and today you must upload the digital version to the organizing committee!"

Gao Shuang didn't expect the time to be so tight, and thought that the last time Tang Xirui told herself that half a month was just an imaginary number.

I couldn't help but be afraid for a while: "Fortunately, I caught up, everyone in the editing room has been stupid these days!"

Tang Xirui looked at Gao Shuang, then looked beside him, and asked with some doubts, "Why are there only digital films? What about film?"

Gao Shuang was taken aback by the question: "The film is so heavy that I can't move it alone!"

"How heavy is a film of seven or eight minutes? I will send the film later." Tang Xirui said to Gao Shuang while opening the organizer's website interface for uploading videos.

Gao Shuang knew that Tang Xirui had misunderstood, and she thought she really just made a micro-movie for a few minutes.

But it's up to you.

I have been busy since I customized the script with the system, but I forgot to make a copy of the script to report to Tang Xirui.

He had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "You can multiply the film length by ten!"

"How long?" Tang Xirui didn't understand what Gao Shuang meant, but intuition that things might have changed, so she said seriously, "Don't joke with me!"

Gao Shuang had no choice but to say honestly: "The whole film is 92 minutes."

Tang Xirui was a little surprised: "It took more than 90 minutes of film? It's a bit expensive for you to shoot! If the effect is not good, Director Zhu will be so distressed."

Seeing that she still didn't understand what he said, Gao Shuang had no choice but to emphasize it again: "I mean the edited feature film, a total of 92 minutes! There is not even a minute left of the film that the school gave!"

Next, Gao Shuang personally experienced the collapse of Tang Xirui's gentle personality.

The originally quiet little face gradually turned into an exaggerated panic.

The beautiful big eyes stared round and round.

Even the hand holding the mouse began to tremble slightly.

Tang Xirui didn't know how Gao Shuang managed to make a 120-minute movie with 10-minute film!
In her opinion, this is simply an impossible task!

Do not!
This is impossible for any director to come!

The amount of film used for filming is three to five times that of the final film, which is considered to be a very good situation for cost control!

Like Gao Shuang, unless his camera is in one place and hasn't moved! ?

Tang Xirui stood up, stared at Gao Shuang very nervously and asked, "What did you film? Don't you just chat with a few people for nine or ten minutes and treat it as a movie???"

Emmmm…

That's an accurate guess!

Gao Shuang touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "You...have you read my script?"

At this moment, Tang Xirui couldn't believe her ears!

He actually...

Did he admit it?

Is that really what he did? ? ?
"what!!!"

Tang Xirui let out a mad scream, and her wiggly little head ruffled her long smooth hair: "I'm going crazy! Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? Do you think Director Zhu can let it go? You? Can the school leaders let you go?"

Gao Shuang had never seen Tang Xirui collapse like this.

What about Class Director Tang, who is usually a little sick in Jingmei?

In the original pink and white, you can see some blue silk on the face, and it has already turned red.

Don't say it!
Against the background of this little blush, people are a bit more beautiful!
But can a beautiful person slander me like this?

What happened to my film?
If my finished film is exhibited at the College Student Film Festival, it will definitely brighten the titanium alloy dog ​​eyes of a bunch of judges!
Gao Shuang replied calmly: "Don't worry, the school will only be proud of me!"

Tang Xirui took a few deep breaths.

Gradually calm yourself down.

She looked at the digital version that was being uploaded in encrypted form, and hesitated for a while.

She would love to open the file and watch the movie.

However, the digital version format dedicated to movies cannot be played at all by ordinary computer players.

And what if you see it?

It's the last date for submissions.

Even if you want to help him modify it, you can't do it!
After calming down, Tang Xirui suggested to Gao Shuang, "Isn't it okay...you just accidentally burned the original film..."

"I don't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Gao Shuang is speechless, how dislike my movies are you!

Burning it won't let me take it seriously to participate in the competition?

If it does burn, do you think I'll be beaten to death by a gang of people?

"The quality of my films is very good! The actors are so good! Really!"

……

Tang Xirui watched helplessly as the uploading progress bar finished the last bit.

She never thought that one day she would dislike the speed of the Internet in the office!
While she was still in a frantic struggle, the film festival website had relentlessly jumped to the page for filling in the work information.

no solution anymore!

Uploaded videos can no longer be withdrawn, so they can only bite the bullet.

Tang Xirui, whose eyes were lost, clicked the options on the information page blankly: "Hehe... What kind of movie are you? Documentary?"

"sci-fi movie!"

Gao Shuang calmly reported an incredible classification.

"Ke... a sci-fi movie???" Tang Xirui, who had just calmed down, was not calm again!
She almost screamed out: "Gao Shuang! Don't make a fool of yourself!!!"

Gao Shuang was crushed by the violent momentum and took two or three steps back before standing still!
calm!Calm down!
Teacher Tang!

Your gentle personality is completely broken!
