Chapter 26 Comrade Night

(Please thank you all for your vote!!!)

After Ike and Green agreed, they began to act separately. Green began to mobilize all the forces around him, look for the "gunners", and then spread rumors on the Internet.

He organized about 30 "confidants" and traveled through any hot website, bbs. He repeated this mysterious story like he was posting an advertisement.

Ike walked into the company's film editing room and began to post-production of "Blair the Witch".

For a movie, the importance of post-production is the same as shooting. It is a process of weaving thousands of shots into a complete story. The editing, soundtrack, and special effects of the movie are all included in this process.

The most important thing in this process is editing. Only when the editing is completed can the soundtrack and special effects be added reasonably according to the story.

In Hollywood, there is a complete set of huge post-systems, and they have the most advanced equipment, technology and professional talents in the world. When viewers are fascinated by the blockbusters in the theater, in addition to thanking the directors and actors, they should also thank these outstanding technicians. It is their hard work and transformation that has made film technology leap again and again, turning people's imaginations that once existed in their minds into visible pictures.

Ike still knows how to edit, because this is a quality that a director must possess. Of course, he cannot compare with professionals in specific technical work. When he was in school, he learned traditional editing because it was the basis of all editing. However, with the development of films to this day, almost no one uses traditional editing anymore, and they all use computer-specific editing systems.

Speaking of traditional editing, it is a pair of scissors and a bottle of glue - first leave the place to be edited, fix the edges of the film, stick it with special glue, and finally use a hole puncher to punch a few holes! This method can be read several times in the editing room, but the quality of the cutting depends on the skill.

However, this old-fashioned editing is time-consuming and labor-intensive and inefficient. Now, it is all done by computers. First, convert the film taken into a format that can be read by movie editing systems such as avid and smoke. This process generally requires a film scanner to make digital intermediates. Then, the lens can be switched and deleted on the computer. Of course, when making digital intermediates, you must be clear about which format the publisher uses to distribute the copy in order to set the resolution size.

For the current witch, it is even simpler. No professional system is used, and it seems unreal if used. It only requires the editing software that comes with Sony's handheld DVD. To put it bluntly, it is completely like a family video for self-entertainment. As long as you know how to make wedding videos, you can make this movie.

There is no soundtrack or special effects. Thinking of this, Ike breathed a long sigh and started to get busy in front of the computer!

......................................

March 5th is the premiere day of the first movie "Rose Boy's Dream" released by 3D. Speaking of the premiere, some people immediately thought of the vast fan team, the long red carpet, the beautiful stars, and the flocking media. Not bad! This is the premiere of "Avatar" or "Transformers".

For the current "Rose Boy's Dream", it is another situation - an old cinema, a group of audiences, a yawning ticket seller...

Our poor Mr. Green came to the "Country" cinema in a suit and tie, tied with a bow tie. As soon as he arrived at the scene, he realized how dissatisfied his clothes were with the scene of the NB! It was like a man wearing a famous brand dress, eating a bowl of noodles on the roadside, funny and cute!

He untied the bow tie on his neck with a flash of lightning, then unbuttoned the suit and shirt buttons, rubbed his forehead and bought a movie ticket, and quickly entered the theater.

Jeremy and Mr. Lehman were accompanied by him, and the effect was the same.

But what surprised Green was that the attendance rate in the theater actually reached 50%, and most of them were young people.

"I thought the three of us would book a venue!" Green said to Jeremy and Lehman beside him.

"Yes." Jeremy said with a smile, "It seems that the promotional effect is still good."

Green nodded, and before the start of the movie, he looked around with joy. Hum? His smile froze. Because in a not far corner, two young men were kissing unscrupulously!!!

Green shook his head and swept the cinema again. In an instant, a numb feeling rose from his back. omg! This is not the legendary "comrade's night"!!!

Jeremy and Lehman seemed to have noticed this situation, and they coughed awkwardly, looked at Green again, and then shook their heads helplessly.

shit! Green cursed secretly, and I said why Ike didn't come. This kid probably had expected it. The great 3D company started the screening of their first video in this "comrade's night"...

Fortunately, there are only two blockbusters released at the same time as "The Rose Boy Dream", one is Universal's "Ace Spy" and the other is Warner's "Jungle 2". After all, March is not the time when major film companies grab the box office.

Three days after "The Rose Boy's Dream" was screened in two theaters, the box office statistics for the first weekend were released. The two theaters earned a total of US$10,800. This is a sloppy data, and it cannot be said to be too bad.

Ike carefully calculated the box office data sheet sent by the company. $10,800 means that each cinema has $5,400 in revenue. If calculated based on $5 per ticket, that is, 2,200 people watched the movie in these three days.

If this is the case, Ike already feels that the movie will not lose money at least. What we need to do now is to expand the number of theaters.

Another good news is that "Rose Boy's Dream" has received widespread praise from the media and audience three days after it was screened. The Los Angeles Times commented on the film: This is the best video about "gay" theme in recent years. The director keenly captured the delicate psychology of "gay" people, which is thought-provoking.

In his comments on the film, Hollywood professional filmmaker Mark wrote: If I were asked to recommend the Best Foreign Language Film for the Oscars next year, I would not hesitate to include "The Rose Boy's Dream" on the list. Yaran Bailey is a director who is good at expressing the inner world of the characters.

...........

The media praised the French film quickly attracted the attention of other screenwriters. On the fourth day of the screening, 20 cinemas asked for copies from 3D companies. On the fifth day, 30 companies reached the sixth day, 40 companies reached the sixth day, and 90 companies reached the seventh day.

After 10 days of screening, the box office of the movie rose to 76.5nd for two or three months, and the box office is estimated to reach more than 3 million US dollars.

300w, after deducting the cost and sharing with the theater, your company can make a net profit of about 1 million yuan. Although it is not a big money, it is already very good for a newly established film company, at least it has not lost money. More importantly, this movie has won a certain reputation for 3D companies, which is particularly important for small companies.

As far as the game is concerned, this is also a random event it gives. It can't be considered bad. Of course, Ike didn't expect "Rose Boy's Dream" to make himself rich, and he devoted all his energy to "The Witch Blair".

Ike wants to shock the world with this movie!

The story of "The Rose Boy's Dream" continues to tell American audiences. On that day, Ike returned home and opened the computer and entered the game on a routine basis. Suddenly a prompt box popped up.

"Dear player, you have successfully completed the first challenge. The rewards to you and the company are as follows: company prestige +3, distribution +3, publicity +5, media communication +3, company cohesion +5..."

Company cohesion? Ike felt it was very novel because this was a new number drama value, but the system did not tell it what it was. He now found that as time goes by, the system will continue to give new values, which may be challenges, but isn't the fun of adventure like this? Ike continued to read.

"Your personal charm +3, communication +3...Dear player, due to your outstanding performance, the system will give you an additional reward, please click on the small gift package." At this time, a flashing small bag appeared on the game page, and Ike happily clicked on it - you get a chance to use "spiritual communication". Please rest assured! This time, your soul point will not be deducted, nor will you calculate whether your communication is higher than the other party. Time limit: None.
Chapter completed!
