Chapter 18 Post-production and filming

"How's your film going?"

I was about to go to bed at night and had just laid down on the bed when I received a message from Liu Yifei.

"It was just finished yesterday."

Zhou Qing answered truthfully.

"So fast? This is too fast!"

Liu Yifei was completely caught off guard.

If I remember correctly, the last time Zhou Qing said that the filming of the movie had started was just a few days ago!
What kind of movie can be shot in just a few days?
"This is a low-budget movie with a small cast and a simple setting, so it will naturally be quicker."

Zhou Qing simply explained it to Liu Yifei.

But this is a bit too fast!
It takes more time than this to shoot a short film.

On the other end, Liu Yifei secretly complained in her heart.

Liu Yifei became increasingly unsure about what the movie would be like.

However, Liu Yifei will definitely support and encourage the films made by her classmates.

“When it’s released, I’ll definitely go see it!”

Liu Yifei made a solemn promise to Zhou Qing.

"Then I'll thank you first."

Zhou Qing thanked him immediately. He was confident in his movie and believed that it would be worth it for the immortals to watch it.

It's not just Liu Yifei, the leading actor Huang Bo, and the many senior brothers who worked behind the scenes.

Every one of them came to inquire about the follow-up matters of the movie.

In response to this, Zhou Qing could only respond one by one and wait for the post-production.

So when will it be done later?
Zhou Qing has no say on this matter; it depends on Teacher Wang's opinion.

Fortunately, Teacher Wang was as reliable as ever and did not keep Zhou Qing waiting for long.

On just the fourth day, Zhou Qing gained access to the editing room.

"Teacher Wang, thank you so much."

Zhou Qing expressed his gratitude to Wang Jinsong from the bottom of his heart.

"Your movie is not big, can you finish editing it in half a month? I only asked for half a month."

Wang Jinsong confirmed with Zhou Qing again. He estimated that half a month would be enough anyway.

"Enough is enough."

Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly.

It wouldn't take half a month to finish such a small amount of food. You'd be dead in a week.

"Hurry up and finish editing. Many teachers and I are waiting to see the finished film."

Teacher Wang urged Zhou Qing with a smile.

Before Zhou Qing left, he said sternly, "Also, editing is editing, don't delay the class!"

"I understand, Mr. Wang."

Although Zhou Qing wanted to stay in the editing room for 24 hours, what else could he say facing Wang Jinsong's sharp eyes?
I can only agree to it.

Although the contents of those performance classes were dispensable to Zhou Qing and there was no need for him to listen to them.

At first, Zhou Qing planned to secretly skip classes to do editing, but later he found that it was simply not feasible.

Because of his filming experience, he is still very famous among his teachers.

As long as you miss class, you will be discovered immediately, and Wang Jinsong will know immediately.

For this reason, Wang Jinsong even found him and gave him a severe beating.

"I understand, Mr. Wang. I promise I won't do it again."

Zhou Qing didn't dare to lose his temper even after being scolded by Wang Jinsong.

Of course, I didn’t dare skip classes anymore. I could only behave like a good student with other classmates.

Only after class can I dive into the editing room to start editing.

But Zhou Qing was so busy that he was spinning like a top.

Not to mention other classmates, even his roommates Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin could only see Zhou Qing in the dormitory at night except in class.

"Qingzi, how long will it take to finish the haircut?"

The two knew what Zhou Qing was doing and would routinely ask him the same question almost every night.

"Almost there, almost there." Zhou Qing slapped his butt on the bed and responded casually.

"Fuck, you say that every time!"

Zhu Yawen complained deeply.

"It's really fast this time, maybe just a few more days."

Zhou Qing waved his hands and didn't want to say anything more to Zhu Yawen because he was too tired to move.

As we all know, video editing is a physical job!
Especially since Wang Jinsong didn't allow him to miss classes, Zhou Qing didn't dare to waste even a moment.

It can be said that I put all my spare time into it.

What I said before about finishing the trimming in a week naturally became a joke. Now, ten days have passed and only three-fifths of the work has been completed.

Calculating the progress, it will take another half a month to complete everything.

As expected of the class teacher, he’s really good at it.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but secretly give Wang Jinsong a thumbs up.

"Your editing skills are pretty good."

During this period, Wang Jinsong went to the editing room and "inspected" Zhou Qing's work.

After just one glance, I couldn't help but show surprise on my face.

Just look at the technique, the smooth operation, definitely a veteran!

It is not worse than professional editors, but much better.

How many abilities does this student of mine have?

Wang Jinsong is increasingly looking forward to how the film will turn out.

"Cut it well and get the finished film out as soon as possible."

Wang Jinsong patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Then why are you looking at me so hard?"

Zhou Qing almost said this, but finally kept his mouth shut.

After seeing Wang Jinsong off, Zhou Qing continued to devote himself to his work with full enthusiasm.

Although it was a bit tiring to balance attending classes, he really enjoyed it and seemed to have endless energy.

Even if I am exhausted when I return to the dormitory at night, I will feel full of energy when I wake up the next day.

With full firepower, the later work is progressing in an orderly manner.

The day before the usage rights expired, Zhou Qing stretched himself.

Editing, dubbing, subtitles, etc., everything is done.

The finished film is out!
"It's finally done!"

Although he was a little tired physically, Zhou Qing was still extremely excited mentally.

He couldn't wait to go through the film, his eyes sparkling more and more.

This movie is a success.

Apart from being a little rough, there is nothing wrong with it.

"I finally have the confidence to go to the school for the rest of the matter."

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile excitedly.

He didn't waste any more time. After a brief rest, he appeared in front of Wang Jinsong again.

"Is the finished film out?"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Wang Jinsong also looked very excited.

Needless to say, after reading the script, Wang Jinsong exclaimed in his heart, "It's awesome."

As for the filming, Wang Jinsong took a few glances at the materials during editing, and the standard was also quite high.

Therefore, Wang Jinsong is even more excited about the finished film than Zhou Qing.

"It's finally out. We teachers have been waiting for it for a long time."

"Let's put it in the school's cinema first. We'll go and see what it looks like. This can be considered a small internal preview."

After receiving a positive answer, Wang Jinsong immediately said so.

There is naturally nothing wrong with this, and it can be said that it is exactly what Zhou Qing wants.

He also wanted to show the school how good his movie was, otherwise it would be difficult to negotiate terms with the school.
