The filming of the movie means that the movie has entered the post-production stage.

The first job in front of the crew is to rinse the film. If the film is not rinsed, nothing can be done. Zhang Ran dares not be careless about rinsing the film. If he wants to cry, he has no place to cry.

Therefore, when the film crew sent films to the Peking printing factory, Zhang Ran repeatedly reminded him to find an old printing washing machine, an old optoelectronic, and to ensure that everything is foolproof.

While the film was sent for rinsing, Zhang Ran held a post-work meeting, which brought together the editor, sound editing, recording group, sound editing, and special effects team to arrange the post-work.

Special effects are the top priority in the later stage, and Zhang Ran plans to watch it himself. However, in this way, he has no time to edit and has no choice but to invite Zhou Xinxia, ​​the school’s editing teacher, to be the editor.

After rinsing out the film of the movie, confirming that there was no problem, Zhang Ran selected several shots that needed special effects, conducted a simple edit, and then brought the film to Hualong Digital.

Hualong Digital is a subsidiary of China Film Group, a national project, and has the most advanced equipment in China. Zhang Ran came to Hualong mainly to convert these lenses that require special effects into digital formats.

Several special effects lenses need to be cut out using computer software and need to be synthesized with the produced 3D models. There is definitely no way to do it on film and must be converted into digital format so that relevant production can be carried out on the computer.

Now after the Hollywood movie is completed, the film will basically be converted into digital format, and the corresponding processing will be performed on the computer such as material editing, color adjustment, post-synthesis, special effects processing, subtitle mixing, etc. This is called digital intermediate film.

However, this technology has not been widely used in China. One is that domestic films have few special effects and are not needed at all. The other is a matter of money. Standardized digital intermediate film production requires 500,000 to 600,000. For many domestic films, especially small and medium-sized productions, this is not a small number.

Zhang Ran's pitiful money naturally couldn't turn the entire movie into a digital middle film. The only one he sent to convert the numbers was a few shots that needed special effects, which added up to less than five minutes.

Before coming to Hualong, Zhang Ran had inquired about the people in the movie channel and knew that he had to look for the input and output department to make digital intermediate films, so he went straight to the output and input department.

Zhang Ran walked up to the third floor, looked at the nameplate on the door, and knocked on the door of an office: "May I ask, is it here to make the digital middle piece?"

Three young people were sitting in the office, lying in front of their respective computer screens, busy attentively. The "hoho" sounds from computer speakers from time to time were the sound of monster-cutting in the online game "Legend". When someone heard Zhang Ran's question, he looked up and said, "You want to make a digital middle film?"

Zhang Ran walked into the office, took out the film box, and said, "Yes, do it for five minutes."

The young man on the left stood up and was about to pour water for Zhang Ran. He sat down again when he heard this. A young man with long hair in the middle asked, "You only do it for five minutes?"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Yes, the crew's funding is limited, and it is impossible to do all of them. You can only convert the special effects part into numbers to facilitate the special effects."

"Make special effects, what special effects are you going to do?"

"Green screen synthesis and 3D modeling, but you are too expensive, I can't afford it. Just do glue to magnetic and adjust the color at will."

Hearing this, the other party's tone became colder: "According to regulations, we only make digital intermediates for the complete movie, or we can turn numbers and special effects together. You can use five minutes of lens to turn numbers and color adjustment, which costs 200,000!"

A complete movie is only 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, and now it only takes five minutes to convert the number to 200,000 yuan. This is obviously a difficult situation! Zhang Ran frowned slightly, but smiled and said: "We cooperate with the movie channel. We are all a family. Please help. We can't afford such a high price."

"The same is true for the movie channel. There is no way, the machine will charge for the charge, and the cost is very expensive."

If it was someone else, he might believe it, but Zhang Ran knew clearly what the digital middle film was like, and frowned and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I don't need any post-processing. You just need to use a film scanner to convert the film into a digital format, and then use the Da Vinci system to adjust the color!"

The other party was stunned when he heard this, knowing that Zhang Ran was not an ignorant layman, and said coldly: "Since it is so simple, you can do it yourself, what are you doing here?"

"Where are you doing business like this?" Zhang Ran was speechless.

"We are like this, do you like to do it or not."

"You, okay! I'll go find your leader!" Zhang Ran was a little angry.

"Walk right when you go out, the third office is our Minister Wang's office!" The other party not only did not take Zhang Ran's threat seriously, but also told him directly where the leader was.

Zhang Ran almost vomited blood without anger. He knew that if he continued, he would definitely be angry to death. He turned around and left the office. He was about to find Minister Wang from the output and input department, and the conversation in the office spread.

"Xiao Wang, you are so bad. You directly offer 200,000 yuan. That person was so angry that you were so angry!" someone said.

I heard the young man say, "Five minutes of film to convert numbers, only color adjustment, no other post-processing, and we don't give us special effects, only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, who can do it! I'm too lazy to pay that god!"

"That's right, if you want to use our digital technology and don't let us do special effects, how can you do such a good thing!" someone echoed.

Zhang Ran was furious when he heard this. He always wondered that Hualong had China Film Group behind it, which had the top software and equipment in Asia. Hualong had not produced satisfactory movie special effects in the next ten years, so that most of the special effects of domestic movies were included by Koreans. Now he knows the reason. He relies on his own self-righteousness in a state-owned enterprise, he is unwilling to do small projects and cannot do large projects. If he can produce qualified special effects, it will be a pity!

According to what the young man in the office said, Zhang Ran came to the third office on the right and knocked on the office door twice: "Is this the office of Minister Wang of the I/O Department?"

The door was half open, and you could see a middle-aged man in his forties inside, with a fat head and big ears, a blushed face, lying on the desk looking at the computer.

The man raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at the door, and found that it was a young man. He turned his gaze back to the computer, and said, "Who are you, what's the matter?"

Zhang Ran knew that this was Minister Wang, who was mentioned by the young man, so he walked in, took out a business card and handed it over: "Hello, Minister Wang! I am from Qing Film Studio. We co-made a movie with the movie channel, which involved special effects shots and needed to be made into digital intermediate films."

"How did you find me here? Go out and turn right, the third office!" Wang Rumin took the business card and took a look, threw it on the table. The teacher of Beijing Electric is so young!

"I've been there just now, but they don't do it!"

"Oh, why?" Wang Rumin straightened up, leaned against the back of the chair, and asked casually.

Zhang Ran said helplessly: "The cost of our movie is limited. We can only convert the film into numbers for five minutes. We plan to make the special effects ourselves. They think we have too little things to do and are unwilling to do it!"

Wang Rumin understood what was going on and said lightly: "Digital conversion and special effects are a matching match. How can we convert numbers for you and you ask someone else to do special effects? So it is normal for them to be unwilling to do it for you. You have to understand their difficulties."

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I understand their difficulties, but we can't do anything about it. The budget is too low, and the special effects team has prepared all the materials. Please help me! This movie is invested by the movie channel and is a project of our own people. Please help!"

Wang Rumin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "I'll say hello to them later, just do it!"

Zhang Ran thought to himself who knows when you will say hello, who knows whether you will say hello, and continued: "Minister Wang, this movie is quite urgent. The movie channel is with you brothers, so I look up and see you. Please call and say to the people below, otherwise they will not answer if I go over."

Wang Rumin was a little unhappy and thought to himself that what about the movie channel? You are anxious to have a nonsense with me and said calmly: "I'm very busy with work and don't have time to call now. You can leave quickly and don't affect my work!"

Zhang Ran is really popular now. Looking at Wang Rumin, he said coldly: "Minister Wang, if you really disturb your work, I apologize to you! But I am surprised that the work of your input and output department is special effects and numbers. I am here to convert digitally. Why is it not that I am working for me? Is it because I have watched ** and become your job?"

Wang Rumin's face suddenly turned red, and he pointed at Zhang Ran with one hand, trembling all over. He saw that the yellow net was discovered by this kid. He was angry. It was so outrageous! He ran to my territory and came to blame me. Who do you think you are?

Wang Rumin slapped the table and stood up, pointed his hand at the door, shouting: "Don't think you are from Beijing Electric, don't think you can point fingers if you have something to do with the movie channel. The movie channel can't control me! We won't do this middle film of your number! You go out!"

Zhang Ran didn't say anything more and turned around and walked out of the office. He was really popular. If you don't do digital middle films, you can still do it. If you don't do it, I can go to the United States to do it. I really thought I would beg you!

However, Zhang Ran was so angry that he didn't plan to just let it go. He immediately called Yan Yueming: "Director Yan, I am Zhang Ran!"

When Yan Yueming heard that it was Zhang Ran, he laughed and said, "Zhang Ran, I heard that the movie has been finished, how is the situation?"
