Chapter 161 Feelings of loss and melancholy

But later Ridley Scott re-edited the original 2-hour version and made a director's cut of 3 hours and 15 minutes.

This version immediately caught the eye and was regarded as a masterpiece by fans.

The original score of 5.6 has soared to 8.1.

That's the beauty of clipping.

In the previous Hong Kong films, in order to save the budget and make money quickly, a crew would edit one film after filming; then put together the remaining materials, and then cut out a different film for release.

Pay the cost of one movie, get two movies, double the box office, and double the joy.

As for those unreasonable and puzzling places, it is said that they are nonsensical, or they are interpreted as postmodern expressions, and there will always be people who will pay for them.

As for art and aesthetics...

Oh, who should think so much, don't you want to eat it right?

Give bosses two options.

Invest in a crappy, popcorn movie that makes money but gets scolded badly.

Or invest in a classic literary and artistic film that can make a name for itself in film history, but the box office is too poor to recover the cost.

Excuse me, boss, which one do you vote for?

As long as there is no pit on the head, I will choose the former.

Du Ranqi raised his ears and listened to them for a while, and found that they were really just discussing movie editing, and there was no topic beyond that, so he put his mind down.

While the two were not paying attention, she secretly put her hand under the table and sent a text message: Don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on them, and I will never let my brother have the chance to cheat!

Huh, she patted her chest, feeling very exciting, as if she had transformed into a soldier on a secret front, sending information to comrades under the eyes of the enemy.

After a while, a reply came: Momo, I love you. After the concert on the 2nd, I will sneak out of the hotel and come to you with beer and fried chicken.

Du Yanqi couldn't help laughing, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he typed quickly: Are you sure? Beer fried chicken is easy to gain weight.

And the other party also quickly replied: She died to accompany my sister-in-law!

Du Ranqi quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing and screaming.

Duan Xiaochen called me little sister-in-law... so cool!

She squinted and seemed to have penetrated the fog to see ten years later.

"Sister-in-law, do you still lack warm-up guests for your concert?"

"Although there is no shortage, you are welcome to come and support me at any time, little sister-in-law."

"But I can't sing, what should I do?"

"It doesn't matter, a beautiful young actress like you, as long as you open your mouth and sing a few words, you can make the fans crazy and have a warm-up effect. We are invincible in the world!"

Du Caige didn't know that her sister had already dreamed of being a "Queen of the Shadows".

He touched his chin from time to time and pondered for a while, and sometimes whispered a few words with Liu Zifei.

Most of the time, he is intently manipulating the video editing software.

Because of the distance, the scent of shower gel on Liu Zifei's body kept digging into his nose.

But Du Caige didn't have the slightest thought in his heart.

Not because my sister is next to me.

Rather, he never gets distracted while doing film-related work.

When he was on Earth, his ex-wife once asked him more than once: "Is it important to me, or is it your movie that matters."

Du Caige's desire to survive is still very strong, and every time he answers seriously: "Of course you are important."

But this is what he thought in his heart: if it is placed in a specific situation, for example, whether it is more important to complete the shooting plan on time or you, whether it is more important to finish the editing first, or more important to you, whether the box office of a certain movie is more important or your life important?

For example, if you want to save your life, you have to delay filming, you have to delay editing, you have to give up the box office... Then I definitely think your life is more important.

The box office is valuable, and the price of art is higher. For the sake of life, both can be thrown away.

But if I had to choose, if I wanted to continue making movies, I would have to give up on you, and if I wanted to be with you and couldn't make movies again, then I would definitely choose you... go rough.

disappear as far as you can.

I will be very sad to leave you, very painful, painful like a thousand knives in my heart. But the pain will eventually be healed.

By time, or by another woman.

But if I don't make movies from now on, I will feel that my life has no meaning.

To be successful, hard work, talent, opportunity, of course, are all very important and indispensable.

But focus and choice are also essential.

Soon the clock pointed to 11:30.

Du Caige released the mouse and rubbed his wrist.

"Let's do this for now, and in the end, it must be refined again." He looked at the length of the video. "15 minutes is still too long. Try to compress it to less than 11 minutes, and it can be more refined."

Liu Zifei smiled and said, "It's not bad to be able to cut it like this in one and a half hours."

She has long admired Du Caige's directing and editing, and needs no words.

Du Yanqi came up curiously: "Is it finished? Let me see."

Du Caige glanced at her, and suddenly reached out and rubbed her little head: "Aren't you sleepy at this late?"

Du Ruoqi said angrily: "I have to do my homework and review until after 12 o'clock every night. And I am already sleeping early in the dormitory. There is a girl who studies until 2 o'clock in the morning every night, and she Get up at 5:30 in the morning to wash, and start to memorize words at 6:00.”

Du Caige tried to recall the situation when he was in high school.

With an unforgettable memory, he quickly found vivid images.

When he was in high school, he also had a dangling head and a thorn, and was admitted to the Beijing Film Director Department.

Knowledge changes destiny. As a child born in an ordinary family, the only way to change his destiny is to study and get into a good university.

And the Du family in this world may have been very good before, in the middle and upper classes of society.

Du Zhiqiu is a well-known professor, and the original owner is a top musician. Du Qiu grew up in a honeypot.

But after the family encountered a crisis and fell apart, Du Qiqi quickly adapted to the changes and matured quickly.

He nodded: "It's always right to work harder when you study."

Du Yanqi rolled his eyes at him: "It's a cliché."

Du Caige was a little embarrassed, and didn't want to criticize her sister for this trivial matter, so she pretended not to hear and turned to look at the screen.

"Play it again from the beginning, let me see what you and Sister Liu filmed."

"Okay, just be the first viewer of our short film."

Du Ruoqi took a small three-legged stool over, sat down next to Du Caige, and watched with relish.

"Is the protagonist a mover? He's quite handsome."

"Why does this Mr. Feng feel weird?"

"Hee hee, this person is stupid, right? He still gets lost near his home?"

Du Ruoqi didn't have the cold air that Du Caige had when he first met her, chattering endlessly with a small mouth.

Seeing that the van drove under the big locust tree in Baihua Hutong, but there was only a dirt bag and a tree stump, Du Ruqi even burst into laughter: "It turns out that Mr. Feng is mentally ill, they were deceived by this mental illness! "

Then the workers of the moving company pretended to carry all kinds of non-existent things into the car in order not to make a trip in vain. Du Rongqi also looked at it with a smile and patted Du Caige on the back: "Brother, the things you photographed are very interesting. of."

Until the mover forgot that he was carrying a fragile china base, released his hand, took out a lighter from his pocket and threw it to his companion.

He was just pretending to move things, but in fact he was just moving air.

But in Mr. Feng's eyes, it was the exquisite china that fell to the ground, banged, and shattered into thousands of pieces.

At this time, there was no post-processing, no dubbing, and no scene of broken china, but Du Rongqi clearly understood what was going on.

The smile on her face as beautiful as an immortal disappeared. The curvature of the corners of his mouth fell back again, and his expression was a little stunned.

In this section, Mr. Ouyang Liyan contributed a textbook-level performance. The loss and sadness in his eyes easily entered people's hearts.

There was something sparkling in Du Ruoqi's beautiful big eyes.

Then she remained silent. She didn't bow her head until after reading it, and pretended to yawn: "I'm so sleepy, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep." Then she quickly wiped her eyes.

Du Caige asked, "What do you think?"

Du Yanqi thought for a while: "It's not bad, I don't know, anyway, I think it's pretty good."

"When the soundtrack is added, the special effects are done, and then the final cut is done, the effect will be several times better." Liu Zifei interjected.

Du Yanqi nodded casually.

Now she is really in no mood to fight with Liu Zifei, and she is still immersed in the mood of the short film.

"How do you feel about this film?" Du Caige asked again.

Du Yanqi tilted her head and thought for a while: "Sadness? No. It's not that serious. It should be melancholy, right? Well, it's melancholy."

"It's like a song you wrote before, brother. Although it's a love song and the lyrics don't fit the situation, it feels very similar to me."

"Which one?" The original owner moved too many classic songs, and Du Caige didn't know which one his sister was referring to.

Du Ruoqi hummed directly: "Oh, you know, who is willing to go back, who is between you and me. Is it fate, love, innocence, or accident. There are tears, guilt, sacrifice, and patience... It's a human being a wall or an accident. The cold winter is hidden in the eyes. There are days and nights with fantasies, can't wait..."

Du Caige nodded. My sister's artistic sense is very good. This BEYOND's "lover" does have a sense of loss and melancholy, and it has some similarities with the feeling of "the depths of a hundred flowers".

Liu Zifei was a little puzzled. She had done a lot of homework these days. She was familiar with the works of "Lin Ke", but she swore that she had never heard this song.

Such a beautiful song, if she has heard it, she will never forget it.

"Qiqi, your brother wrote this song? Why haven't I heard it before?"

"Oh, it was written when he was playing in a band, but it wasn't officially released, and his band didn't officially debut." Du Rongqi explained.
