Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "These two paragraphs will not be cut, right? It seems to have overshadowed Li Yunlong's limelight! But regarding this kind of matter, I consulted Mr. Fu in advance. The old man said that there were many martial arts masters during the war. It exists, but often the person who can fight the most dies the fastest. There is nothing we can do about it. Facing modern weapons, no matter how strong your fists and kicks are, they will eventually become nothing more than a background wall!"
Li Youbin shook his head: "If the director dares to cut their scenes, I dare to fight him. In fact, Li Yunlong has such powerful subordinates. Not only is it not an obstacle, but it also shows that his popular prestige is extremely high!"
After the two directors came over, they quickly took him away.
Before, he had only watched a small part of the filming materials on the crew, and more of it was in the technical department of Red Star Factory, which had a professional editing workshop.
The editors in the factory are all famous in the industry. When Liu Qingshan arrived, there was actually a room full of people. This shows that the working style here is still very different from other places.
This is a conference room. There is a projector screen on the wall in front. Everyone has a personal computer on their desktop, which will receive the content from the projector at the same time.
Liu Qingshan had never seen such a battle before, and he suddenly looked dull for a few seconds.
He had just come out of his post-production state and had been alone for more than half a month. Seeing such a big fanfare this time, he felt a little uncomfortable. .c
As if he knew what he was thinking at this time, a deputy director of business operations named Long Qingsheng introduced: "Our Red Star is very different from other units. It is a very comprehensive film studio. The purpose of its establishment is to carry forward Collective spirit, establish a working model of close teamwork, sharing joys and sorrows, and sharing weal and woe.”
Liu Qingshan curled his lips inwardly. We are all in the same boat. It is just a big workshop. Can such an assembly line production model really highlight the unified central idea and creative concept of the film?
Seeing his expression, Long Qingsheng burst into laughter: "Mr. Liu, every outside colleague will question our working methods! In fact, there is no need to do so. The main thing is to follow the creative ideas of each project director. As for the main line, these people here will not participate in the final decision. To put it more simply, they just come with eyes and ears, and the only way to act is to follow the director’s instructions!”
Fu Jun, one of the directors, also followed up with an explanation: "As directors, we only need to lay out the ideas in our minds, and someone will be responsible for allocating tasks in each detail. At the same time, the director also has his own edited version, so we can learn from each other's strengths to offset our weaknesses. , Tiecheng and I’s dominance still hasn’t changed at all!”
Another director Su Tiecheng nodded: "It's okay if you understand it as an assembly line, but it is not the operating model of factories in other industries. We have our own work experience, and others can't learn it even if they want to!"
Liu Qingshan felt relieved now and understood what was going on.
No production company can have such a large team of editors as Red Star Factory. Moreover, it has been established for decades and has produced thousands of films of various types. How could it not know how to safeguard the creative ideas and ideas of each director? express direction.
He can also understand why there are so many people here. It is an evil reality that there are too many monks and too little meat. Giving everyone a job is the most typical state-owned enterprise operating model. You cannot understand it as eating from a big pot.
So he no longer cares about the number of people present. As long as the core theme of the film and what he wants to express are not deliberately tampered with, the rest has nothing to do with him.
So he immediately changed his face to a smiling face, clasped his fists and held his hands in hand: "Then I'll spare you all the hard work. Of course, the initiative rests with the two directors. Like everyone else, I'm here just to make suggestions!"
Someone laughed and said, "Mr. Liu, don't be polite. Are you scared by the lineup we have here? Actually, it's nothing. It's just that we finally have a big production. We, the idle idlers supported by the country, just came here." We’re just joining in the fun! We’re not trying to impress our presence, our names won’t appear in the final credits!”
The person who spoke was an old man, and someone immediately introduced him to him. It turned out to be Lao Guanglu, the oldest editor at Red Star Factory, who said he had been here since the factory was first built.
Lao Guanglu kept saying: "I retired several years early.
, but I still want to walk around the factory every day. I have such a deep attachment to this place that I’m afraid I won’t be able to get rid of it in the future! "
This person was wearing casual clothes, which was quite conspicuous among the military green. Liu Qingshan estimated that this person's military rank might be at least deputy division-level colonel, which would be equivalent to a department-level deputy at the local level.
Liu Qingshan had a good impression of him: "You are the only company like yours that won't let people leave, right? I think everyone respects you very much!"
Lao Guanglu smiled heartily: "You are right, our place is very different from other places. At least no one has said to my face that I rely on my elders and sell my elders, but I am still very careful. It is good to say that I will not leave my job after retirement. , but I will never express any subjective opinions!”
Long Qingsheng explained: "Mr. Lao came here because he heard that you were the screenwriter. Under normal circumstances, he is just walking around in our factory and rarely appears in the workshop!"
Everyone laughed.
Lao Guanglu sighed: "I just read part of the script today. To be honest, it made me cry. I haven't read such an excellent and touching story in a long time! But why do I feel that your story is like Not finished yet?"
Liu Qingshan admired his observation and reading skills: "There is no need to continue the plot. We all know things that we can't film even if we write them!"
Lao Guang and Lu Shen agreed: "Then let's not continue. Everyone is happy if Li Yunlong has such an ending!"
The conversation between the two people has a hidden meaning. Liu Qingshan is not surprised by this at all, because every character in the play has a prototype.
Anyone with rich military experience will be able to find familiar shadows in it, and of course they will also have a general understanding of their respective life destinations.
Next is the time to focus on watching the movie. It is said to be a movie, but in fact it is just the initial shooting material without much plot division, and it looks messy and illogical.
The filming process did not follow the development sequence of the plot. To understand it, you had to combine it with the script at hand, but it did not affect the viewing mood of these professionals. Obviously, they usually watched too much of this kind of original material.
Liu Qingshan will occasionally express his opinions, and most of the time it is the two directors analyzing and decomposing explanations.
Jin Xishan was lucky enough to be allowed in. She is one of those people who has to read the script after watching the video twice. Maybe after watching the entire film, she won't be able to figure out how many actual storylines are connected.
This took most of the day, and by the time it was all over, it was long past lunch time.
When it just ended, everyone stood up and applauded enthusiastically, including Liu Qingshan. Only two directors also stood up, but waved their hands to stop it.
After Lao Guanglu and many other people expressed congratulations or sighs, Guan Kong said a few words to the two directors.
Then he looked at Long Qingsheng seriously: "Director Long, is it possible to win over Mr. Liu, a great master?"
After seeing the other party shaking his head, he sighed: "His scripts are all worth a million bucks. Today I have really seen it. There is no exaggeration!"
Then he took Liu Qingshan aside alone: "I am a retired old man, and I was allowed to come here today because they took into account the old friendship of my decades-old colleagues! I want to help you through Mr. Liu. Please let me participate in the post-production this time! Don’t worry, I still say the same thing, I won’t talk too much, I just want to witness the production process of a classic TV series with my own eyes!”
Liu Qingshan understands his request quite well. He has been working in the factory all his life and wants to witness the post-editing of "Bright Sword". This is actually an obsession that has been deeply rooted in his bones and coexists with his career. .
But he did not agree immediately. Out of caution, he asked one more question: "In what name did I invite you? Is there any precedent for this kind of thing before?"
The old man smiled and said: "Director Long's father, who has passed away long ago, retired in 1979, but he stayed in the factory until 1998. And which big-budget film was he missed? Can you please help me find a post-production period? It would be nice to have a consultant's quota. Although you can get in without this status, you also know that if the name is not justified, it will easily lead to hostility.
Doubtful! "
Liu Qingshan felt relieved now: "Just go to Factory Manager Long directly? Just wait and see, I'll tell him during lunch!"
"Where's the lunch? It's half past two now!" Jin Xishan came over and reminded him.
Liu Qingshan really didn't pay attention to the time. He looked at his watch and suddenly realized: "Is this how Red Stars work?"
Lao Guanglu shook his head: "It hasn't happened in many years. In previous years, it would only happen once or twice when catching up with gift films or major-themed movies. Things like receiving urgent tasks would happen once or twice. Under normal circumstances, we should eat and get off work at the same time. of!"
Liu Qingshan felt very happy at this time. Being able to receive such treatment for his project at least showed that it was taken seriously. Who doesn't have vanity?
When I came to a small canteen and sat down, I realized that this was a government canteen. Usually only middle-level and above cadres and technical personnel were qualified to eat here.
The larger canteen can accommodate thousands of people, and it is still some distance away from here, which means that the chefs in the kitchen are not shared.
There are hundreds of seats here, but since it was already past dinner time, there was no one else in the cafeteria.
However, when they were just halfway through the meal, more than a dozen senior executives came to the restaurant to express their condolences. Although Liu Qingshan only had a smile on his face, Jin Xishan beside him looked flattered.
Of course she would feel proud that her man was taken seriously. She understood the industry status of Red Star in China.
Liu Qingshan had already met most of the people who came, and many of them were on the same level as Long Qingsheng.
One of them is Zhao Liangxing, the deputy director in charge of publicity and distribution, and now the marketing operations director of "Assembly Number".
