Chapter 40 Post-production of the film

Wang Hao's bow and speech were greeted with a lot of applause, which was very enthusiastic.

After all, things like struggle, hard work and dreams are so touching, aren’t they?

“Thank you, thank you, thank you all for your help!

I know that during this period of time, my work style may be a bit overbearing and I am sure that I have offended everyone many times..."

"No, no!" Several young people waved their hands repeatedly below.

"Of course, just an apology is not enough, so I won't say anything sentimental about parting. Tonight, the crew will hold a wrap-up party at the Taifu Hotel across from the school. Everyone must be there!"

"Okay!"

As soon as they heard there was food, everyone became happy immediately, after all, it was something practical.

In the evening, at the wrap-up banquet, the atmosphere was very lively, with laughter and wine bottles flying everywhere. Everyone took turns to toast Wang Hao, as if they wanted to get him drunk.

Faced with this situation, Wang Hao accepted everyone who came and behaved very generously.

Of course, his two best friends in the same dormitory were also very considerate and helped him block a lot of alcohol.

"Come on, Ahao, have a drink!"

Huang Lei stood in front of Wang Hao holding the glass, and no one could stop him from drinking.

"Come on!" Wang Hao clinked his glasses with Huang Lei's and drank it in one gulp.

"Okay, Haozi, thank you this time, for thinking of me for such a good script.

I tell you, I haven’t had such a great time shooting in all these years.”

"It's mainly because you acted well, Old Huang." Wang Hao helped him fill the glass.

"No, no, no, others may not know, but am I not clear about it?"

Huang Lei waved his hands unsteadily, seeming to be a little drunk.

"It's always been about supporting actors. There are so many good actors in this world, and it's not easy to come across a suitable and excellent script. I appreciate your kindness in thinking of me.

If you have the chance in the future, come to me and I will definitely not hesitate!"

"I'll remember that. Come on, have another drink!"

There was a crisp collision sound, and everything seemed to be in the wine.

And this drinking lasted until late at night.

Until the end, Wang Hao, who was drunk and unconscious, was carried back to the dormitory by Li Kui and Zhang Yang.

The three of them slept in the dormitory until noon of the next day. When they woke up, they were starving.

"Comfortable!"

Wang Hao stretched and felt refreshed. Last night could be said to be the best sleep he had in this month. All his mental stress was swept away.

"Boss, we're going to eat, do you want me to bring you some?"

At this time, Li Kui and Zhang Yang had already packed up and were about to go out. When they saw Wang Hao wake up, they hurriedly asked.

Wang Hao waved his hand, "No need, I'll go with you guys later."

The three of them left the dormitory together and went to the second floor of the Beijing Film Academy canteen and ordered some stir-fried dishes.

While waiting for the food, Zhang Yang asked curiously, "Boss, what are we going to do after dinner?" "There are many things to do."

Wang Hao replied nonchalantly. Now that he had cleared his mind, he was thinking about important matters.

“The film needs to be developed, transferred to magnetic tape, edited, composited, and color-graded. In short, it’s a lot of work.

Why, you want to learn?"

Zhang Yang chuckled, "I'm just thinking about preparing to independently produce a science fiction blockbuster in the future."

"You have ambition. After dinner, come with me to Qingying Studio. By the way, Heizi, what about you?"

"I have nothing to do. I'll go with you guys," Li Kui said seriously, "and I can also take a look at the pictures I took."

As the three were talking, another three or four guys sat down at a table not far away.

Wang Hao heard the noise and subconsciously looked back.

Coincidentally, the visitors turned out to be Ma Bo and his lackeys who usually accompanied him, as well as the male lead of their movie, Luo Jin.

At this time, the three of them also looked at Wang Hao, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became complicated. They turned their heads and pretended not to see it.

Unfortunately, Wang Hao didn't want to let them go like this. He was in a good mood after the successful completion of the film, and immediately joked to Ma Bo who was not far away:
"Hey, isn't this our Director Ma? Has the movie been finished? When will it be released? Brothers, go and support it when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Ma Bo glanced at him viciously, but he felt a little insecure in his heart.

He knows every detail of his own movie, and the problems of multiple people co-directing and insufficient management skills have given him a lot of headaches recently.

He could only lose the battle, and faced with Wang Hao's teasing, he still stubbornly shouted: "It's almost over, and by then, even if you don't say it, I will have to 'invite' you, right?"

"Hahaha, then I'll wait for it." Wang Hao looked at Ma Bo, who looked fierce but weak, and nodded with a smile.

At this time, their dishes had all been served. Wang Hao, who was hungry, turned around and started to wolf down his food with his two roommates.

When they finished their meal and turned around, Ma Bo and the other two had disappeared. This naturally caused Zhang Yang and Li Kui to laugh at them again.

After lunch, Wang Hao brought his two good brothers to Qingying Studio to prepare for the post-production of the film.

With the filming process completed, the first task before them is to develop the film.

This step is also crucial. If there is a problem with the film during the development process, all their hard work for so many days will be in vain.

Fortunately, Qingying Studio itself has a long-term cooperative printing and filming factory. Wang Hao specifically asked the factory director Zhou Xuguang to contact them and find the best printers and lighting technicians in the factory, striving to ensure that everything is foolproof.

After the film was developed and confirmed to be without problems, Wang Hao immediately rushed back to school and began to arrange the post-production editing work.

In this matter, Beijing Film Academy, as the largest film and television school in China, has its own editing studio run by its teachers.

So Wang Hao did not look for other companies, but directly invited teachers from the school to serve as editors of this film through Teacher Huang.

From these aspects, we can see how important personal connections are in the film and television industry.

Wang Hao's decision to study at Beijing Film Academy and join the academic school can be said to be a good move that saved him a lot of energy.

Of course, before editing, they have to hold a post-production meeting, bringing together editors, recording crews, sound effects and music composers and other post-production workers to discuss the progress of the post-production work.

At the meeting, Wang Hao explained his creative concept to everyone for the first time, and also determined the tone of the entire film, which is commercial and suspenseful.

“The rhythm should be tight, and the sound effects should be original as much as possible. What we want to highlight is the real texture, as if this is not a movie, but a real documentary.”

Many people felt that the previous chapters 11 and 12 about the conflict competition were too embarrassing, so they have been deleted, so there are two chapters missing, but it does not affect the reading experience.
