The only sun in Huayu

Chapter 63 Drinking vinegar won't fill you up (24)

After "The Sun," Yu Dong and Jiang Wen never spoke to each other again, a pain that was absolutely excruciating.

That's ten million, ten million in 07.

He would fight tooth and nail if anyone made Shen Shandeng lose money.

Moreover, this only covers the marketing and distribution costs; if Yu Dong also guaranteed box office revenue, the losses would be even greater.

"The Grand Eunuch is a commercial film. My positioning is martial arts, but I don't have one yet, so I'll just call it a historical action film for now."

"It's different from historical dramas. Nowadays, historical dramas are just superficial, they're just putting on a facade, they're not real history."

After the meeting with the production company, Shen Shandeng immediately held a meeting with the head of the post-production team.

For a film crew, disbanding is just the first step; post-production editing is just as important as pre-production filming.

The post-production team for "The Supervisor" consisted of two parts.

One team consists of a martial arts visual effects team that started working on the project from the very beginning of the film's preparation, and an editing team.

Shen Shandeng also provided the editing team with photography assistants and sound recording assistants, all of whom were behind-the-scenes staff who were familiar with the materials and could effectively cooperate with the editors.

Editing was handled by Du Yuan, with assistance from Xu Ningzhu and several other editing assistants.

Du Yuan is an editor at Xi'an Film Studio, Zhang Yimou's go-to "golden scissors," and has edited films such as "Red Sorghum," "The Story of Qiu Ju," "Keep Cool," and "To Live."

Zhang Yimou has shifted his focus to exploring commercial blockbusters and collaborating with others, while Du Yuan's editing of "Crazy Stone" last year proves that she is still as skilled as ever.

"My idea is just one point: awesome! In two words, incredibly awesome! The rhythm comes wave after wave, with just the right pace, and you can even add some lyricism, but only in the intervals between the rhythms. You have to maintain the rhythm from beginning to end."

After discussing "The Sun" with Yu Dong, Shen Shandeng became even more determined in his creative approach to "The Eunuch".

Vinegar is something you can't handle if you drink too much of it.

Without dumplings, we'll go hungry.

Of course, Shen Shandeng believes it would be best to have a proper meal!
Then you can have dumplings if you want, and pair them with your favorite vinegar.

In 2007, in terms of public opinion, the voices that were relegated to the margins in later generations are now gaining momentum.

"The Eunuch" cannot market historical confidence or cultural confidence, nor can it market how great the Ming Dynasty was. The audience will be confused and may even be ridiculed.

The audience doesn't care when imperial power, bureaucracy, or land capitalism arose; these things can only serve as background.

The main storyline is always the plot.

Moreover, it must be a thrilling and satisfying storyline that allows the audience to release their emotions and feel truly satisfied.

Viewers who want to revisit the film will naturally seek out the underlying themes and messages it contains.

Shen Shandeng's requirements were very straightforward and specific.

Du Yuan said, "I will edit it according to the director's requirements."

She is a senior editor at Xi'an Film Studio. A few months ago, Shen Shandeng invited her, and she confirmed the invitation several times.

This decision is too controversial; I'm sure there will be people gossiping about it at the Beijing Film Studio.

Du Yuan was also moved by Shen Shandeng's creative ideas after the launch ceremony and agreed to participate.

In hindsight, that decision was the right one.

The footage for "The Eunuch" was completed according to the shooting plan, and China Film Group provided the film with its top-of-the-line equipment.

The most advanced equipment in the country.

The Northlight high-resolution film scanner, DaVinci 2K color grading console, Tangent Devices control panel, top-of-the-line color grading environment, top-of-the-line digital projectors, and large SAN storage arrays and rendering equipment.
That's why Du Yuan, who has been working in the editing field for nearly 30 years, wants to live in the editing room.

Creative inspiration bursts forth, and I'm brimming with energy.

Shen Shandeng sensed Du Yuan's enthusiasm for her work and felt reassured.

Shen Shandeng, a senior editor at Beijing Film Studio, was worried that things might get out of control and cause him trouble. He feared that if he encountered a local tyrant, a confrontation would waste a lot of time.

If he had enough time, Shen Shandeng was confident he could meet the challenge, but what he lacked most was time.

The film's style also needs to be considered; his own vision must be implemented. Therefore, the editor needs to be capable and easy to communicate with. Du Yuan is a good choice.

Shen Shandeng can also edit, but he can't be the main editor.

Because he had so much to do—dubbing, music composition, publicity, and special effects—it wasn't any easier than during filming.

As for the minor controversies, they are not important.

If a movie is successful, all the costs incurred are minimal.

As things settled down, Shen Shandeng was incredibly busy.

Home.

On the table.

"You're busier than when you're filming," Yang Mi complained.

These days, it's difficult to even see Shen Shandeng.

Except when he loves her, he's practically never seen.

"Soldier 0912!"

Shen Shandeng tapped on the table.

Da Mimi rolled her eyes, lying on the sofa too lazy to move, her legs casually propped up on the coffee table.

"You really think your home is a movie set, huh? Let me tell you, I'm not buying it!"

Shen Shandeng never expected that his beloved Mimi, whom he thought was already an excellent student, was not yet properly educated.

It seems the education efforts are still insufficient. "I've been so busy these past few days, aren't you curious why I'm going home so early today?"

Da Mimi just lay there and said, "I'm not curious."

"Alright, looks like I'll have to find someone else to sing with," Shen Shandeng said disappointedly.

Da Mimi's eyes flickered, she swallowed hard, stopped wobbling, and instinctively straightened her body, holding up her slightly oversized T-shirt.

Endure it!

Honey is a girl with dignity.

Previously, she and Shen Shandeng maintained at least a balance of power, but since Shen Shandeng started making movies, her status in the family has been declining.

Although Rongxinda went to great lengths to please her as a result, and the quality of her business dealings visibly improved, life still had to go on.

Her intelligence doesn't allow Shen Shandeng to train her like that.

What a terrible game, with its dubbed accent.

She really wanted to use her hands on Shen Shandeng's buttocks to carry out a severe, merciless, and epic punishment!
"This song marks my return to pop love songs after two years. Oh well, never mind."

Shen Shandeng sighed softly.

"Well, maybe."

Da Mimi pouted, hinting.

Shen Shandeng asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"

Da Mimi pouted and picked it up, saying, "It's a duet, don't tease me."

Shen Shandeng's expression turned stern as he glanced at his water glass: "Hmm? What should I call you at home?"

"Sir!"

Da Mimi gritted her teeth.

Shen Shandeng: "The voice was too soft, I couldn't hear it."

Da Mimi shouted loudly, "Sir!"

"energetic!"

Shen Shandeng nodded and glanced at the water glass again.

Da Mimi quickly poured him some water.

A routine of patting the back and massaging the shoulders.

Where Shen Shandeng couldn't see, Da Mimi silently opened her mouth, spitting out someone's actions.

"Well, your attitude in admitting your mistake is quite good, so I will mercifully forgive you."

Shen Shandeng said, "I'll write the song for you today."

"You haven't written it yet."

Da Mimi wants to hit someone.

Then Shen Shandeng took out a piece of paper and wrote it down in about ten minutes.

As the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; Shen Shandeng should leverage his own strengths.

The plan is to release a popular song first as a way to give back to the fans and also to engage them.

Then release a movie theme song.

Da Mimi glanced at the first two words on the paper: "No makeup".

then.

Shen Shandeng became even busier.

I'm incredibly busy.

In addition to editing, special effects, and music composition, there was also the task of recording songs.

There's no time left to educate Sun Li and correct Bingbing's cognitive beliefs.

7 month 27 day.

Media outlets reported on the unveiling ceremony of the English poster for the film "The Sun Also Rises," which also served as the launch of the official website.

Yu Dong also began to emulate the new image double image, and together with Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang of Huayi, he created the "Jiang-Yu combination".

The report stated that the host asked Jiang Wen how he viewed the role of Zhang Yimou as a judge in his films.

After much deliberation, Jiang Wen finally uttered a sentence: "Planning is up to me, and success depends on planning."

"It's getting cold."

Shen Shandeng gave his evaluation after reading the report.

They're practically offering themselves up for a take, so if Venice doesn't take it, they'd be doing a disservice to this lucrative opportunity.

Jiang Wen also shouted, "Planning is up to me, success depends on planning," and he went up to the altar himself and handed the knife to someone else.

Judging from the order of the "Jiang-Yu combination," it's likely that Yu Dong was the one who came first.

Both of them will cool down together!

Yang Mi said, bewildered, "Where is it unpopular? Our song is a hit!"
