Best wishes for animation production - #609 - Chapter 605

Gu Xue went out this time mainly to discuss the release date of the movie “The Bottom” and the road show.

That’s right.

“Bottom” is already a film.

The review has also been passed.

It took three months.

It took two and a half months to do post-editing and half a month to pass the review.

This time is neither long nor short.

Because of the post-production of a film, it is generally difficult to define the length of work. Excluding the special effects factors, some directors may shoot for 400 minutes and finally cut for 90 minutes. They pick and choose between rough and fine cuts, which lasts for a year and a half. There are also directors who know exactly what they want, so they shoot, edit and do post-production, and may be able to hand over the finished film a week after shooting.

So at this time, it’s really hard to tell whether it’s fast or slow.

Anyway, Gu Xue is quite satisfied with this time.

…

“So, you want to go online by the end of the month?”

In the conference room.

Gu Xue looked at the producer and Ms. Endo, a little surprised.

“Well, the sooner you get online, the better.” Ms. Endo nodded to confirm.

Gu Xue said doubtfully: “Although New Year’s Day is also a Lunar New Year period, it is considered a popular period, but compared to the Spring Festival period, it is a little worse. Logically speaking, according to your approach, you should not be in such a hurry. What do you like to do the most? Isn’t it about extending the time, leaving enough time for crazy promotion, and then releasing it? Why did you change your gender? “

“…”

As soon as she said this, both Ms. Endo and the producer were a little embarrassed.

Gu Xue saw their expressions, thought for a while, and suddenly realized: “Oh… after watching the movie, you have no confidence in me and the movie, so you chose a New Year’s Day slot to have a better box office, right?”

“It’s not that I don’t have confidence.”

The producers seemed to want to say something.

But Ms. Endo spoke first, stopped the producer, and began to explain softly: “It’s because your popularity has been so high recently, and we wanted to take advantage of your popularity to release the movie, so as not to end up with long nights and dreams.” It’s not appropriate for this kind of inspirational film to be released during the Spring Festival. It feels weird that everyone is taking a break during the Chinese New Year to talk about struggle, and it’s almost winter vacation and exam week is coming.”

“Too……”

Gu Xue nodded, and then said softly, “Actually, you don’t need to explain to me, Ms. Endo, it’s up to you to decide on the date. I have no objection to it.”

“That’s good… then the road show…”

“Forgive me for refusing.”

“Why? This is a good opportunity for exposure, and it can also increase the box office. This is your directorial debut. If it can get high box office, it will be a good thing for you…”

Gu Xue didn’t bother to explain that she only made this movie, and just said confidently:

“I’m afraid of the cold!”

Ms. Endo: “…”

“All right.”

Ms. Endo calmed down for a while, and then she calmed down and tightened her expression: “The trailer of the movie will be posted tonight. Please help me forward it to promote it.”

“Oh, that’s no problem. I can do this kind of propaganda even under the covers.”

Ms. Endo: “…”

How afraid of the cold is this…

“Well… there’s one more thing. Supervisor Gu Xue, what do you think is a better promotional slogan for the movie? I have a few options here, and I’d like to ask for your opinion.” At this time, the producer took over Endo’s job at the right time. Madam, inquired.

But it seemed that he was not very willing.

Gu Xue took the alternative plan that the producer had just presented, took a look at it, and said, “Let’s use the phrase ‘Youth is a struggle for oneself.'”

“Ah?” The producer frowned, “It seems that this sentence is not included in the alternatives I gave you…”

“I think this sentence is quite appropriate.” Gu Xue smiled slightly, “What you gave me… to be honest, it’s too much. Of course, this is just a suggestion.”

It’s not that, what is the counterattack of the teacher and the hot girl student.

Gu Xue didn’t even know where to start complaining.

She even suspected for a time that this producer came specifically to blackmail Hashimoto Ai…

…

“Then let’s take our leave first.”

In fact, when discussing the release date with Gu Xue this time, Ms. Endo and the producer she represented were mainly coveted for Gu Xue’s popularity.

Now Gu Xue simply refused because she was afraid of the cold.

And he’s still very determined.

Ms. Endo didn’t force herself, chatted for a few words about the movie, and then said goodbye to the producer.

Gu Xue originally wanted to take Miss Mihara away.

But as soon as she stood up, she saw Hashimoto Ai sticking her head out from the door of the conference room.

“Gu Xue, long time no see.”

“……haven’t seen you for a long time.”

the other side.

Toya, the producer and director of Hashimoto Ai Agency, had just left the conference room, turned around and glanced at the conference room, and found that Gu Xue did not follow him out. He immediately complained: “What the hell is this.”

“Huh?” Ms. Endo looked at him with some confusion.

“It’s obviously my first time as a director, but she has the attitude of a well-known director. She doesn’t want us to intervene in the editing of the film. Now after discussing with her, she still can’t do it. It’s like we owe her.”

“Obviously the editing of the film is very average, and there is no explosive point at all. I can’t understand why anyone would like to watch this kind of film that simply talks about a student getting admitted to college. Does she still want to schedule it for the Spring Festival?

You should have let me say it just now, Endo! With so many blockbusters scheduled for the Spring Festival, are you looking for death? Now that it’s scheduled for New Year’s Day, I’m worried. The box office will be ugly by then, but it will be a disgrace to our agency and Ai Yi.

There is also a slogan, “Youth is a struggle for oneself”, which means completely unclear. How can anyone see this slogan and go to the movie? The movie is not attractive in the first place, and it is still a literary youth… Let’s talk about it back then. When making a movie, I should be tougher and let her add a scene where the male character pursues our beloved clothes! I originally thought that the hot girl and the teacher would have some interesting developments, but I didn’t expect that the cut was as bland as boiled water. Who would watch it? “

“…Mr. Totani.”

Ms. Endo looked at him with wide eyes and a wonderful expression: “Do you really think so? You must have seen the movie, right?”

“Don’t you think so?” the producer asked.

“Of course not, didn’t I just say that? It’s because the exam week is coming soon, and the Spring Festival holiday is not very suitable for the style of the movie. Otherwise, I would have considered the Spring Festival period. After all, that’s when the most movie fans are…”

“Wow.” Hearing this, Totani jumped to the side in an exaggerated manner, “You don’t really think this movie can be compared with those blockbusters, do you?”

“I can’t predict the box office, but I’m very confident that the reputation of this movie will be very good. Although Director Gu Xue is a newcomer, I really can’t tell. Both the shooting and editing ideas are top-notch. , fully implemented the idea of ​​the original script.”

“Word of mouth? Are you kidding…” Yuan Gu looked shocked.

“…”

Ms. Endo was silent.

She glanced at Yuan Gu’s bare head and suddenly felt that she was so stupid.

This is a master who can turn a bloody love triangle script into a masterpiece.

The generation gap between the two is as deep as the Mariana Trench.

The explanation is useless.

“Mr. Toya.” Ms. Endo sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: “Watch less messy things, and watch more movies and TV shows that young people like. “The Bottom” is far better than you think. So unbearable, after all, this kind of fresh style is still relatively rare, there are some, but most of them have been made into art films, and the bottom ones don’t have this problem.”

Then, she thought for a while and continued: “Perhaps, when it is released, the box office of the movie may even scare you, and you may regret not releasing it during the Spring Festival.”

“Scared me? Regret?”

Toya’s eyes widened slightly, then he shook his head and sighed: “Endo, what nonsense are you talking about? Sure enough, the generation gap between you and me is as deep as the Mariana Trench.”

Ms. Endo: “…”
