Chapter 894 An Ran’s Opinions
Jerry looked at An Ran in surprise.
An Ran smiled and said: "I always think that the combination of this song and the movie is the best."
Jerry suddenly remembered that this guy was the winner of the "Best Screenplay" at the Xizhou Film Festival. He was a good director, and he also liked the movie "127 Hours" very much.
A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"Mr. An Ran, I would like to invite you to watch the samples in advance..."
Alice suddenly opened her mouth and looked at Jerry in surprise.
Jerry is a very famous figure among Mesozoic directors in Xizhou, and his talent is worthy of this fame, but he is very conceited and is known as the devil on the set.
No matter who gives him advice, he won't listen. If you insist, he will fall out with you immediately.
But now he actually invited An Ran to watch the sample film. It was obvious that he wanted to ask An Ran to help him watch the movie and analyze where there is room for improvement in the movie.
An Ran was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay."
Jerry was overjoyed. After listening to An Ran's "My Heart Will Go On", he always felt that An Ran was definitely the person who understood him best.
You will definitely gain something from appreciating this masterpiece with him.
Moreover, he felt that An Ran's song was very good, and there was a vague feeling that the movie was not worthy of such natural sounds. Let An Ran watch it, maybe it could make up for this shortcoming.
He had this idea before he came here, so he brought the samples with him.
"Mr. An Ran, I can't wait any longer. Do you have a screening room here?"
"Ahem, you're too anxious. It's almost time for me to watch. How about we have a meal first and then watch this movie together?"
"Then...okay!"
Jerry nodded reluctantly, looking a little anxious.
Huang Ling had already booked the table, and the group left the company and went straight to the hotel.
During the meal, although Jerry admired Xiazhou's delicious food, he couldn't forget his movie and kept urging Alice to eat quickly.
It made Alice dumbfounded.
After returning to the company, Jerry took out the samples that had been specially designed, and Huang Ling took the USB flash drive and went to the screening room together.
Because it was a movie that had not yet been released, all other staff members of Fokker TV were refused to watch it.
The only people in the screening room were An Ran, Jerry, Alice, Huang Ling and Su Xiaowan.
Soon the picture appeared on the big screen. An Ran looked at the progress bar and saw that it was only 110 minutes. If you remove the ten-minute subtitles at the end, the movie would only be 1 hour and 40 minutes?
For a blockbuster film, it is difficult to tell a wonderful story.
Especially for a film that embodies human nature in this kind of disaster, without enough foreshadowing, it will definitely make the audience feel that "the film does not meet their expectations".
The movie begins.
An Ran took a look and found that the background of the story was roughly the same as "Titanic", but the male protagonist was a boilermaker and was responsible for burning the boilers in the boiler room at the bottom of the ship.
The heroine is also a girl from a wealthy family and has an engaged fiancé. The content of the story is basically the same.
But after reading it for more than an hour, I felt that... I was almost missing something.
After watching it, Jerry looked at An Ran expectantly, "Mr. An Ran, I want to know your opinion of this movie!"
An Ran didn't know what to say, not because he didn't understand, but because after watching "Titanic" and comparing it with this movie, the gap was obviously too big.
I don’t know if it would be too much of a shock to Jerry if I said it.
"Mr. An Ran, if you have anything you can say directly, I will never mind!"
Alice sneered in her heart, with your arrogance as Mr. Jerry, if Mr. Enron points out the shortcomings, maybe you will fall out.
An Ran nodded and said: "Since Mr. Jerry doesn't mind, I'll say it!"
"Tell me, I think you are the person who understands me best..."
"Ahem!"
I understand you chicken, can you please stop using this tone and vocabulary to speak, it sounds a bit abnormal.
"First of all, I feel that what you want to express in this movie is not clear. Is it disaster? Or love? Or human nature? You want to say too much, but nothing is clear!"
Jerry's face suddenly fell.
An Ran ignored his expression and said, "The other one had insufficient foreshadowing. When the disaster struck, it gave people a sudden feeling, and they did not feel how deep their relationship was. In the end, when the male protagonist died for the female protagonist, there was no
It feels so big! Let me tell you this, how romantic it is at the beginning, but how sad it is at the end... If you want people to cry to death, you must first make people feel full of warmth..."
Jerry's face turned unhappy, then turned serious, and finally turned into surprise.
When he first heard what An Ran said, he was indeed a little unhappy, which is human nature.
Everyone likes to hear good things. When An Ran came up and said that he didn't explain the topic clearly, he was actually saying that you can't even tell the story well, which really made him unhappy.
But what An then pointed out are all good words. As long as you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
If a movie starts with the male protagonist dying for the female protagonist, without any foreshadowing, no one will be moved.
Jerry's face was slumped, "Then...Mr. An, are you destined not to watch this movie?"
It will be released in half a month, and it is too late to reshoot now. It seems that this movie will become a black spot in my career.
An Ran thought about it and said: "Actually, this movie is still a love movie at its core. Disasters are just a spice to highlight love. The more thrilling the process, the more touching the love!"
"It's not impossible, just re-edit..."
"Yes!" Jerry jumped up from the sofa.
A movie is usually shot in 800 to 1,200 shots. This mainly depends on the director's preferences and style. If he likes long shots, it usually does not exceed 300 shots, and there are even movies with one shot in the end.
Directors who like montage techniques will need more than a thousand.
As a big-budget movie, "Love on Ice" naturally cannot be shot to the end, and there are many scenes and rich plots. The whole film has more than a thousand shots, and without editing, it would last more than ten hours.
"In addition, in the scene of the shipwreck on the ice sea, some computer special effects can be stepped up to highlight the disaster scene and set off the hero's final act of sacrifice for the heroine!"
Jerry nodded repeatedly. Although this would require additional budget, it was nothing. As long as he asked, the producer would definitely invest more.
At this time, the producer does not want the movie to be a hit, and will definitely add more if necessary.
"Oh, Teacher An Ran, meeting you is simply my greatest luck!" Jerry grabbed An Ran's shoulders and said, "In the afternoon, we will take the afternoon flight to Xizhou. You can start editing immediately!"
