After shooting part of the film, the rest of the film is post production. As a test of his own work, in the post production, Xiao Yao did not intend to fake others, but prepared himself to do all the post production work by himself.
Editing, because it is directly shot with a digital camera, also saves the trouble of transformation, directly all the material into the computer, with special editing software editing can be. Xiao Yao has learned from the director of MV before, and he has also tried shooting MV. He is familiar with both software operation and editing techniques.
On the score, Xiao Yao, who is himself a music composer, does it all by himself. Xiao Yao not only remembers the songs of his previous life, but also remembers many pure music works and famous film and television soundtracks. I have been learning music for so many years, in order to reproduce any piece of impressive music in my mind at any time. This short film originally has the original version of the previous life. Xiao Yao can restore all the original soundtracks and install them directly. In addition to the original music with cello, which sets off the atmosphere at the beginning and the end, Xiao Yao also made some replacement according to his own ideas. Especially in the middle of the dancer''s dance, because Cheng Xi''s dance movements are completely different from those in the original version of previous lives, Xiao Yao specially cooperated with her dance movements and added a piece of piano music.
In the dubbing, in addition to Xiao Yao''s leading role, only Lin Shaohua''s piano shop owner, Cheng Xi''s dancer and the old woman in the last murder room have dialogues. The shooting scenes of these three people are all in the room, and the live radio effect is good, so there is no need to find another voice for them. The only scene where the live radio effect is not very good is the one on the road. However, in that scene, only the protagonist speaks, and the narrator of the whole short film is the voice of the protagonist. Therefore, Xiao Yao is the only one who needs to re record the dubbing.
The short film is a story in a modern city, so it doesn''t need any special effects. The only two places related to special effects are the feet of the dancer played by Cheng Xi and the corpse played by Xiao Chengru. They are all in the scope of special effects. They have been done when shooting, and there is no special effects work in the later stage.
Taking this into consideration, Xiao Yao feels that post production can be done by himself, so he doesn''t fake others any more. Making a movie is a very expensive thing. Even if it''s a short film, even if there is no payment for actors, there is a lot of money invested in other aspects. This short film has no commercial prospects, and naturally there are no investors. All the expenses are paid by Xiao Yao himself. The cost of shooting in the early stage has hit Xiao Yao''s account a lot, and the cost of post production can be saved a little. Anyway, the short film can''t be shown, and he''s not in a hurry to publish it on the website. There''s plenty of time for him to grind it by himself.
During the whole summer vacation, Xiao Yao has two months. In addition to participating in TV programs and making short films, Xiao Yao also has a very important plan, which is to take advantage of the holiday to meet sun Tingting in the United States. It has been nearly five months since Sun Tingting went to the United States in March, and the two of them haven''t met for nearly half a year. Although often through network video and phone messages and other means to contact, but after all, and face-to-face stand together, hand in hand walking together or different. There is no summer vacation at chambers Conservatory of music. Sun Tingting doesn''t come back from vacation. Of course, only Xiao Yaofei, who is on vacation, has passed.
A few days after the shooting of the short film and before the post production was finished, Xiao Yao went to book a flight to New York, USA.
Xiao Yao was only ten years old when he first went to New York. When his parents were not at ease, they bought him a first-class direct flight ticket from Yanjing to New York. Now, over the years, Xiao Yao has taken many international flights to go abroad. He has rich experience. Naturally, he doesn''t have to take direct flights and first class. Therefore, when booking tickets, Xiao Yao, who recently had a lot of expenses for making short films, also ordered a cheaper ticket. This so-called cheaper ticket is not only for economy class, but also for connecting flight in London.
Xiao Yaofei doesn''t need company to meet his girlfriend in the United States, but he can''t sneak away. Besides his parents, Fang, the agent and assistant, still needs to be informed.
When receiving the call from Xiao Yao, Fang still happens to be with PEI Minyi, a new makeup artist and assistant in Xiao Yao''s personal team, to introduce her some responsibilities and precautions of being Xiao Yao''s assistant. Hang up Xiao Yao''s phone, Fang still put out his hand to Pei Minyi and said: "just now Xiao Yao called, he went to the United States alone, it is estimated that he will stay for about a week to come back."
"Ah?" Pei Minyi some surprised way, "he went to the United States alone? Why don''t you... Why don''t we go with him? Aren''t we his assistants, agents and makeup artists? "
"He went to America to see his girlfriend, not to work. What are we going to do with him?" Fang still said, "unless he needs help, he won''t let his assistant follow him when he handles his personal affairs. When he went to do the program, I was in charge of booking the air tickets. But this time, he even made the air tickets himself when he went to the United States. Obviously, we didn''t have to follow him. ""Then he''s gone. What are we doing this week?" Pei Minyi asked.
"Whatever you love." Fang still said with a smile, "anyway, the salary he gives you will not be less. He has gone to the United States. He won''t come to you temporarily. It doesn''t matter if you take on any other work by yourself. As an assistant to him, he doesn''t object to you working part-time when you have nothing to do, as long as you can guarantee to show up when he needs it. It''s mid August now. When he comes back from the United States, he will start school soon. Military training is required in the first month of school. Shen Xi''s military training is directly carried out in the army. He certainly has nothing to do with his work, so I estimate that you will have at least a month''s leisure time. I told you, as his assistant, it''s very leisurely. "
"And you''ll get him an assistant?" Pei Minyi is puzzled.
"The key is that this guy is very idle when he is idle. He can''t be busy." Fang still said helplessly, "he came back from the United States in June last year after finishing the exchange student. How many things have you done in more than a year? And this year is also his third year of high school. He will soon go to university, and his studies and time are much easier than those of senior three. Who knows what he will play in performing arts? I have to find good people for him in advance and help him prepare them. "
Fang still said that Xiao Yao would not seek an assistant for personal affairs unless he needed help. Although Xiao Yao doesn''t plan to let Fang and Pei follow him to the United States, he still asks Fang to drive him to the airport. Xiao Yao, who has already got his driver''s license, hasn''t bought a car yet. The company''s car distributor is still driving. There are only two cars at home, one for his parents, and there are no extra cars left at home. Therefore, Xiao Yao doesn''t want to trouble his parents to see him off, so only the trouble side is still the assistant.
After waving goodbye to Fang in the airport parking lot, Xiao Yao, carrying a big guitar bag, a simple backpack and a small suitcase, walks into the airport hall to check in.
Xiao Yao''s travel experience is rich. He goes through all kinds of formalities very quickly. Fortunately, when he goes through customs and security check, he doesn''t run into the open box inspection. In addition, he arrives at the airport earlier. So when the flight notice starts boarding, Xiao Yao gets on the plane very early, puts his carry on luggage and sits in his seat.
Although economy class can''t compare with business class and first class, international flights are all large airliners after all. Even economy class is not as tight as economy class of domestic flights. For Xiao Yao now, although the flight time of more than ten hours is a bit bitter, it''s not unbearable.
From the first time he went to New York to participate in the EVA show, Xiao Yao went abroad mostly because he followed Chen Xuan to take photos. Xiao Yao always found himself a lot of background information about shooting projects. On the plane, it was rare to fly to the United States just to find a girlfriend. Xiao Yao didn''t need to see any more information, so after settling himself in, Xiao Yao closed his eyes in his seat Put on your headphones and fall asleep.
However, for Xiao Yao, whose seat is next to the aisle, this is not a good choice, because soon there will be passengers in Xiao Yao boarding. He nudges Xiao Yao and asks him to get up and give way to let himself in.
In fact, Xiao Yao didn''t fall asleep. He just closed his eyes and thought about the post production of the short film in his mind. So when someone touched him, Xiao Yao immediately opened his eyes.
"I''m sorry, we''re the seats inside. Please let us in." Standing in front of Xiao Yao is a young woman in her thirties, carrying a medium-sized travel bag in one hand and a lovely little girl in her seventh or eighth year old in the other. Both are white faces with brown hair and blue eyes, and the woman speaks English as well.
This is an international flight. The passengers are either going to London or New York. It is estimated that more than half of the passengers on the plane are foreigners, so Xiao Yao is not surprised to see these two foreigners.
"Oh, good." Xiao Yao agreed in English, took the earphone off his ear, hung it on his neck, stood up and let him go into the corridor. Seeing that the young woman let the little girl into her seat and reached to open the upper luggage compartment to put her luggage, Xiao Yao quickly took the heavy bag in the woman''s hand and said, "let me help you."
"Thank you The young woman smiles, nods and thanks. She gives Xiao Yao her bag and goes in to sit down with her daughter.
"Xiao Yao?" Just as Xiao Yao put away the young woman''s bag, closed the luggage compartment and was ready to sit down, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. This time, what came into Xiao Yao''s ear was Chinese.
"Sister Xi?" Xiao Yao looked back and found a tall woman standing in front of him. Although he was wearing sunglasses, Xiao Yao recognized that she was Yin Xi.
"It''s really you," Yin Xi took off his sunglasses and looked at Xiao Yao. "Where are you going?"
"I''ll go to New York and transfer in London." Xiao Yao replied and took off his sunglasses. "How about you?"
"When I go to London, there''s a business event that I need to attend." Yin Xi replied and then asked curiously, "aren''t you going to start school soon? What are you doing in New York? Is there any photography project? ""No, it''s still early. I went to see my girlfriend. She''s studying at chambers Conservatory of music in New York, "Xiao said with a smile." they don''t have a summer vacation. They can''t come back. Of course, I flew there. "
"I know. It''s sun Tingting, isn''t it? Reading chambers is so powerful, "Yin Xi said with a smile," sure enough, your evil girl friend is not an ordinary person. "
"She''s better than me in terms of concentration." Xiao Yao said, "I mean musical instruments. She specializes in violin. She doesn''t like me to learn all kinds of musical instruments."
"By the way, why are you sitting here?" Yin Xi said strangely, "the position in front of this flight should not be tense. Even if you can''t buy first class, you can at least buy business class. How can you take economy class? Would you like to ask the conductor if you can upgrade
"No more." Xiao Yao scratched his head with embarrassment and said, "recently, the cost is relatively large, so we need to save a little."
"Will you still be short of money?" Yin Xi glared, then waved and said, "I''ll help you upgrade." With that, Yin Xi turned around and went to find the purser standing in front of the plane to meet the passengers.
"No," said Xiao Yao, holding on to Yin Xi. "I''m really a little short of money, but I don''t even have the money to upgrade. In fact, I just take the opportunity to experience the feeling of economy class. It''s the first time I''ve been in this big class."
"But it''s hard to sit here." Yin Xi still frowns at Xiao Yao.
"It doesn''t matter," said Xiao Yao. "I''m not a spoiled young lady. When I went to take scenery photos with Chen Xuan before, I tried to live in the open air, eat in the open air, and sleep in the open air. People are so small that they can sit. Why can''t I sit? It''s time to experience life. " Xiao Yao pointed to the little girl in the seat.
"Well, I don''t care about you. Let you experience life." Knowing Xiao Yao''s temperament, Yin Xi finally nodded and said, "but if you feel uncomfortable, come to the front and I''ll help you upgrade. I''m in the first class 2A position. It''s not long since I took off. The position next to me is still empty. "
