The time has arrived on March 6, 2001.

The filming of "The Pursuit of Happiness" has finally come to a close after a month of filming.

On this day, everyone was very nervous. After all, they had been suffering for more than a month and were waiting for today.

The filming location was an office of Fantasy Entertainment Company. Yi Feiyang ordered people to decorate the place like a stock investment company, arranged hundreds of telephones, and asked some employees of Fantasy Entertainment Company to act as extras. Their job was very simple.

It means pretending to be a stock broker, picking up the phone and pretending to make calls to attract customers.

Because the scene was a bit big, Yi Feiyang was afraid that the scene would be chaotic and difficult to control during the official filming, so he asked these people to audition it.

The guys who had never acted before did perform well, but Yi Feiyang still told them, "Don't look at the camera for a while. Just be yourselves."

Looking back, Yi Feiyang found the leading actor Will Smith and talked to him about the scene.

This scene is very important as the final scene. It mainly tells the story of the male protagonist "Garner" played by Will Smith. After working in a stock brokerage company, he worked hard for his dream, and finally moved his acquaintance with his sincerity and enthusiasm.

The customer made the first transaction and took a solid first step towards success.

"Will, the next step depends on you!" Yi Feiyang said, "Do you have confidence in yourself?"

Welsh Smith slapped his chest, "Of course! Let's get started, man!"

…

The spotlight was turned on, and Charlie, as the lighting engineer, tried his best to highlight the surroundings of the office. This way, the light would not be exposed or leaked after the shooting.

Photographer Cindy is sitting high on the crane. After a while, he will follow director Yi Feiyang's instructions to shoot the busy scene of the entire "stock brokerage company" from top to bottom.

This kind of scene can be seen in many movies about Wall Street, but what we filmed this time is more real and intuitive than those.

As the director, Yi Feiyang saw that the scene was almost ready, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "The camera is in position, the actors are in position, everyone is in position..."

After a brief pause, Yi Feiyang shouted: "God Ike!"

Shooting officially started.

High-altitude shot. The whole office is ringing loudly, and everyone is busy, either making phone calls or taking pens to record stock amounts.

The camera slowly lowered and shifted to a close-up of a black man standing silently in this chaotic "battlefield", looking at everything busy around him, encouraging himself: "Gard, you can do it, yes. You can! You can't do it anymore.

If you fail, the probation period has expired. If you still can't complete a deal, then you have no choice but to get out!"

"Hey, man, you can do it! Come on!" Martin (played by Clinton), the white elite who helped Gardner join the company, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him.

The camera moved, and Gardner took a deep breath, smiling, "Yes, come on!" He picked up the phone.

He looked through the record book and selected the client he thought he was most likely to persuade---John.

Gardner: Hello, John. You sent a postcard back to our company a few weeks ago. You said you wanted to inquire about a high-quality stock with great prospects and very little risk. Do you remember it?

john: Yes, I'm interested.

Gardner: I'm calling today because, John, I just saw a stock, and it's the best I've seen in half a year. If you have a minute to spare, I want to talk to you.

are you free?

john: Tell me, I'm really interested. What's the name of this company?

Gardner: Airtech International is a high-end technology company located in the Midwest. The approval is about to be passed. The new generation of radar detectors are widely used in both military and civilian fields. Now, it is here, John, here.

The current price of this stock is $1 per share, and John, our analyst pointed out that it can rise far beyond this price. You only need to invest $6,000 to get a return of $6,000.

john: Oh my god, I can pay off the loan.

Gardner: Exactly, you can use it to pay off the loan.

john:Is this stock safe?

Gardner: Jhon, even in this market, I can guarantee you one thing---I don't need to sell junk stocks to my valued customers, because your success is my success, and your failure is my shame.

!Yes, I have lovely children to support just like you, so let’s try it together for once!

The other end of the phone sank for a moment.

John: Okay, for the sake of the child, your sincerity touches me! Buy it, I’ll buy it for 4,000!

Gardner was inexplicably excited: That's 4,000 shares, John. I'll lock this deal in now, and then ask my secretary to tell you the specific information, okay, John?

john: OK, okay.

Gardner: Great, John, thank you for your vote of confidence, and welcome to our company.

john: thank you, brother

Gardner: Goodbye!

"Yes! I succeeded! I finally made my first business!"

In the camera, Gardner jumped up like a child, tears falling from his excitement. Everyone around him, led by Martin, applauded him.

The camera switched and Ganard, whose face was filled with tears of excitement, kept saying "thank you" to everyone around him, then wiped away his tears and ran towards the door because he wanted to tell himself the great news as soon as possible.

Lovely son---"Dear baby, your father and I succeeded!"

…

At the moment when "The Pursuit of Happyness" was finalized, the promotion of "Muhammad Ali" in Colombia entered the final stage.

Spending a lot of money, Abbas invited several heavyweight players in the world of boxing to tell the story of Muhammad Ali on TV programs and trace his glorious deeds.

I have to say that this is a very good way of publicity for the American people who love boxing. The ratings are far ahead of other TV programs.

For a time, the expectation index for the drama "Muhammad Ali" directly surpassed Yi Feiyang's "The Pursuit of Happyness" and became the first in online searches.

Faced with this situation, many movie audiences and film critics are no longer optimistic about "The Pursuit of Happiness", which competes with "Muhammad Ali". For them, although the new film has not been released yet, the difference is already

There are results.

""Muhammad Ali" will definitely blow up the "Happiness" street!"

"Ali is our hero, but where is that Ghanader who is waiting to knock on the door? Who knows what kind of birdman he is?!"

"We feel sad for China Yi. The movie hasn't even been released yet and half of it has already been lost. Poor guy, may God bless him!"

…

Yi Feiyang naturally sneered at this. If Abbas was a person who wanted revenge and ignored the opportunity to make money, then he didn't need to worry about Abbas being qualified to become his enemy. But this is good, at least Yi Feiyang felt

It's nice to have a challenger to show your authority.

Now, the only thing that Yi Feiyang is interested in is busy with the post-production of "Happiness". The edited trailer has been broadcast on Fox TV station, and magazines and newspapers closely related to Fantasy Entertainment have also released various news.

The leaks leaked out bit by bit, quickly arousing the media's appetite, and this craze lasted until the second version of the trailer was released.

Yi Feiyang is the busiest person in the entire "Happiness" crew. The special effects department of Fantasy Entertainment is the post-production department. After Yi Feiyang dragged Will Smith to finish the narration for the film, he started working on the sound effects again.

The source is prepared.

The source of the effect sound is the ambient sound in the film. These require a skilled dubbing artist to complete. Yi Feiyang only needs to be responsible for telling the dubbing team leader his concept. Fortunately, after

After filming "Happiness", every department approached their work with an absolutely rigorous and enthusiastic attitude, which made the post-production of the film extremely perfect.

For example, the sound of cars in the film, the effect Yi Feiyang wants is definitely not very noisy or loud, but a relatively light effect. This can increase the perfection of the film and show that rich people of that era drove sports cars.

Features. The recording team worked very hard. In order to match the few car sounds in the film, they came up with many solutions, such as using a loudspeaker to make the sound sharper, giving people a completely pure feeling.

Even in order to match the sound of footsteps, such as the sound of Will walking on the street, this requires some openness and some confident and very rapid sound effects. In fact, the recording team worked very seriously on this, even Yi Feiyang

I admire you greatly.

In terms of subtitles and dubbing in other languages, the talents that Dures ordered the human resources department to find are indeed elite. Among them are not only local Hollywood language masters, but also invited in order to facilitate the conversion into Chinese for release in Asia.

Asian language experts even invited foreign language professors as professional consultants.

Of course, language is definitely not translated literally. Yi Feiyang has always felt that this is too stupid. Therefore, the translator basically does not translate completely literally, but analyzes the meaning of a certain line of dialogue in the film word for word. When

When they turned over it, they still had to keep the dialogue and the atmosphere and style of the film consistent, which was definitely a very difficult thing.

Fortunately, Yi Feiyang has been preparing for all of this since he formed Dream, so in terms of technical aspects such as pre-preparation and post-production, Dream can be said to be the best in Hollywood and even the United States.

Many people, including Dures, are puzzled by the fact that the boss Yi Feiyang attaches so much importance to the Asian market. They think that the only reason is that the boss himself is a Hong Konger. But only Yi Feiyang knows that the future Asian film market will exceed

The European market has become the most important distribution site for Hollywood movies, and what I have to do now is to consolidate the resources here and lay a solid foundation for the future.

Subtitles and dubbing are just tedious technical tasks, but soundtrack and editing are extremely artistic tasks.

The soundtrack engineer looked at the silent scene and asked Yi Feiyang: "Hey, dear director, do you want the sound and the picture to be synchronized, or do you want the sound and the picture to be in counterpoint?"

Yi Feiyang is well aware of these two types, which are actually the technical types usually chosen for soundtracks. As a professional scorer, he actually starts composing when the crew encounters a certain scene that may require a soundtrack during the filming process. In the later stage, it is basically

The process of screening.

Looking at the video screen, Yi Feiyang tapped his fingers gently, and the rhythm gradually made him experience the inspiration of this kind of creation. This time he would no longer rely on memory to choose the soundtrack. Suddenly he opened his eyes. Yi Feiyang pointed

Looking at the scene of Will running in the heavy rain on the screen: "This section needs to be modified. But the rhythm should not be too strong!"

In fact, this time Yi Feiyang chose the soundtrack technique of counterpointing sound and picture. The image and music are in opposition but vaguely unified to create a sense of hierarchy. Yi Feiyang did not want to destroy the artistic conception of the original shots in the film, so he chose to

Music for unimportant plots.

The soundtrack is definitely a very artistic job. This not only requires considering the music style and layout, but also whether the design can match the style and plot changes of the film. It also requires that each piece of music can mobilize the mood of the film from the beginning to the end.

The mood and atmosphere must also match the sense of the picture, whether it is the director or the scorer. Just one oversight may very well lead to the score not being in harmony with the film.
