The final version of "Painted Skin" requires 120 minutes. This is undoubtedly a difficult task for Shao Shuaijun. If possible, he would not want to cut a minute. A truly good movie cannot be limited by time. But if he does not cut it, several companies
Investors will definitely need to find someone else to do the cutting.
Fortunately, the post-production special effects shots of "Painted Skin" have not yet been completed, so Shao Shuaijun has enough time to think about how to delete the shots.
Time was spent correcting the shots of "Painted Skin" bit by bit, and revising the script of "The Twilight Saga: Twilight" bit by bit. "Painted Skin" has received a reply from Miramax Pictures and will take
It will be released simultaneously in Asia and North America, rather than being released for a while.
Shao Shuaijun didn't know exactly how it was arranged. Now he felt that his whole body suddenly felt at ease again.
The procedures for applying to open a film company in the United States are too complicated. For a while, the US Immigration Bureau even asked Shao Shuaijun every day whether he had any intention of immigrating. It must be said that Americans think too highly of themselves. Anyone who comes to the United States to work or study, they
They all suspect that you came here with the intention of immigrating to the United States.
Once it is confirmed that you have the intention to immigrate, we will immediately turn against you and refuse you the opportunity to work in the United States.
At the end of the quarrel, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu had given up the idea of opening a company in the United States, and planned to acquire a small film company to operate under the name of Dream Chasing Entertainment. With the help of Rob, they took a fancy to the same company opened in the United States.
A film company in Santa Monica, Summit Entertainment.
Shao Shuaijun is very familiar with this film company. Before his rebirth, he happened to be promoting "Now You See Me" in China. And "Now You See Me" was filmed by this company. What's interesting is that if Shao Shuaijun hadn't interfered, Summit Entertainment would have
The company is the company that operates the "Twilight" series of movies.
But it's a pity that now that Shao Shuaijun is here, everything will change.
The current Summit Entertainment Company is shabby enough. The office is not far from Lionsgate Pictures, but the area is ten times smaller. Although it was founded in 1998, it only released four movies in nearly 8 years. The output is low.
It's amazing. But if you think that this company is unknown, you are wrong.
Its reputation is pretty good. Three of the four movies are world-renowned, "Two Smoking Barrels", "Vanilla Sky" and "Operation Smith". "Two Smoking Barrels" does not need to be described too much. This is Gary.
Qi's famous work. It is also the ancestor of the movie style "Crazy Stone".
"Operation Smith" is also familiar to many people. It was created with the efforts of Brad Pitt, the most popular young man in Hollywood in recent years, and Angelina Jolie, who was voted number one among the 100 sexiest women by FHM magazine in 2005.
Popular around the world.
The most representative one is "Vanilla Sky". Once it was released in 2001, it became the king of Hollywood topics that year. It is one of Tom Cruise's masterpieces and has won numerous awards.
Therefore, Summit Entertainment still has a good reputation. But this will not cause too many difficulties in acquisitions. As an independent film company, Summit Entertainment's development is not smooth. The quality of movies is important, but what really affects the company's development is
Number of movies.
Summit Entertainment's production capabilities are too weak. Four movies in eight years, even if the response is good, cannot change the tightness of the company's capital chain. In another trajectory, it can use the cash cow of "Twilight" to grow, but this trajectory
, Shao Shuaijun is here, it is destined to be devoured.
Mitchell Bruce, the boss of Summit Entertainment, is not opposed to being acquired, but he still needs to think carefully about the price of the acquisition and whether there will be a place for him in the new company in the future.
As a result, Shao Shuaijun is temporarily unable to make new movies.
I have no choice but to compete with "Painted Skin".
Time slipped by quietly, and half of April passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the digital field finally completed the last set of special effects shots for "Painted Skin". Shao Shuaijun got the part he was most looking forward to, and could finally complete the editing quietly.
It's a delicate job for a director.
Just when he was immersed in the film and was about to finish editing.
A video began to circulate on domestic websites, and it received more than one million views in just one day...
Bang bang bang!
There was a loud knock on the door of the editing room of Lionsgate Pictures, and Wang Zhonglei's voice came quickly: "Junzi, open the door quickly! Something happened!"
"What's up?"
Shao Shuaijun had a stubble on his face and his hair was messy. In order to find inspiration for editing, he even gave up taking care of himself.
"Painted Skin has been stolen!"
"What!"
Without saying a word, Wang Zhonglei took Shao Shuaijun to the computer and entered the domestic URL. A video website appeared with a shiny title "Painted Skin Lite". After buffering, the video started to play. The more he looked at Shao Shuaijun's face, the more he looked.
It’s ugly. This so-called streamlined version is not a movie.
It is a hodgepodge of shots from "Painted Skin". It only lasts for thirty-five minutes. After being arranged, it seems that the plot of the entire movie can be seen. These shots are shots from the movie and there are no special effects, but there are
Rough footage to add special effects to.
For example, in the scene of the fight between monsters and monsters, because special effects were used to create the scene, none of the actors wore makeup, so the scene looked messy and noisy.
And there are some behind-the-scenes behind-the-scenes footage. Due to the shooting angle, many revealing shots were added in. I don’t know if there is a problem with the pixels of the video on the website or for some other reason. The whole video looks shoddy and there is no point at all.
The so-called high-definition picture quality and majestic atmosphere of "Painted Skin".
"Has it spread?" Shao Shuaijun asked with a frown.
"It already had 1.5 million hits just now. Stop reading and go to the meeting quickly."
Entering the conference room, it was filled with smoke. Representatives from various companies were lighting cigarettes and arguing noisily.
"Okay, stop arguing, Lao Yang, let's talk about the news from the country."
Yang Hongtao said with a green face: "The situation has been determined. It must have been done by an insider. Most of the thirty-five minutes of footage are rough cuts. They should have been stolen before coming to the United States. There are no marks on the screen.
So it is not a problem caused by post-production, that is to say, if we want to investigate what happened six months ago now, it will be difficult to find out who did it."
Shao Shuaijun asked solemnly: "So, how to deal with it now? The leakage of this kind of film will definitely have a huge impact on "Painted Skin", which will greatly damage the sense of expectation of "Painted Skin". Moreover, I just watched these thirty-five minutes of footage.
Halfway through, it was discovered that the camera almost ran through the entire plot of "Painted Skin". Without gimmicks and no sense of expectation, how could "Painted Skin" grab the box office!"
Smoke filled the air, and everyone looked solemn. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
