Go abroad to become a director and overturn Hollywood at the box office

Chapter 61: Writing a new program, the trailer is released
One day later, Qin Feng and Scarlett also took a flight back to Los Angeles.

He returned to his apartment to tidy up briefly, and the next day, he went to work at Warner headquarters.

Inside Yasef's office.

"Qin Feng, you are back. How was the shooting?"

"Manager Yasef, everything is fine. All filming has ended and the actors have gone home. The next step is the post-production work."

"That's great, it's one step at a time."

"Eh? Manager, why didn't I meet Director Tim Burton when I came back this time?"

"His movie has also started shooting. We have been planning for a long time and now we have finally started shooting."

"Oh, what movie is it?"

"'Alice in Wonderland' is a fantasy film."

"Speaking of which, his movie and your "The Matrix" are the two highlights of the company this year."

"Alice in Wonderland"!Doesn’t that mean Johnny Depp has also joined the group?

"What's wrong, Qin Feng?"

"Oh, it's okay. I want to ask, is there Mr. Johnny Depp in this drama?"

"Yes, with him, you are quite well-informed."

That's right, it seems that Depu needs to finish filming Alice before he can proceed with the subsequent work.

morning.

In the large conference room, Qin Feng held a project progress meeting with several department heads.

"Everyone, the filming phase is over. We have to work harder in the post-production phase to strive for an early release."

He looked at the art director Tum and said, "Tum, please release the posters as soon as possible."

Thum: "Okay."

Then he looked at the visual effects director - Gueretta, "Over there at Industrial Light and Magic, keep an eye on the progress and communicate with me anytime if you have any questions."

Gueretta nodded, "Okay."

"Also, we need to release a trailer as soon as possible to build momentum on the Internet first."

"OK, no problem."

Editing Director-Zach asked: "Director, should I do the editing first, or should we do it together?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go together. It's so fast. I'll go to your place this afternoon and we'll start the first cut."

"Ok."

Sound effects director Ruiz said: "Director, on my side, the opening and ending songs have been produced, but some scene music is missing."

"Well, that's fine."

He looked at everyone again and said, "In short, we have to be fast and of high quality. I hope to get the posters and trailers first."

"After the trailer came out, our people took over the color grading and dubbing, and then started promoting it."

In the afternoon, Qin Feng and Zach went to the editing room to edit the film.

Select the best moments from the many shots taken.

Been busy until late.

……

Back to Los Angeles for three or four days.

Qin Feng and Zach finally completed the first cut.

That afternoon, Bill from Industrial Light and Magic came to visit.

He and Guyetta came to Qin Feng's office together.

"Hey, Mr. Bill, why are you free to come to my place today?"

"Director Qin, I need to confirm the effect with you."

"Well, okay, please take a seat."

The three of them sat down, and Bill opened his laptop and connected it to the big screen.

"We have been working on 'Bullet Time' internally for a long time."

"Our engineers wrote a completely new program specifically for the FreeBSD system."

"Huh? You also developed a special program?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, otherwise, the effect would be really difficult to achieve."

Bill clicked the mouse, "Look, this is the final effect."

On the big screen, the action scene on the rooftop was playing.

The agent fired, and the bullet came out, leaving a bullet mark.

Neo fell backwards, dodging the bullets.

The rotating camera turns on and circles around him.

Bullets flew through the air.

The entire lens is incredibly smooth.

From the slow-motion rotation, the trajectory of the bullet, the processing of bullet marks, and the splicing of the environment and characters, everything is perfect.Qin Feng read it carefully and said, "There is no problem..."

"It's just that the bullets are a little short. Two more rounds will be enough."

"OK, no problem."

Bill said: "This shot is the most difficult. There are two other shots, including Trinity's kick and the camera rotating 360 degrees. That one is easy."

"Well, Mr. Bill, you have worked hard too. I am very satisfied with your work."

"Thank you, Director Qin. You should be busy first. I'll discuss something else with Guyetta."

"Okay, please walk slowly."

Qin Feng just sent the two of them away.

Tumu walked in and said, "Director, I made a few posters in advance and I just sent them to you. You can take a look."

"Okay." He opened the email.

The first poster is from Neo's perspective as the savior. The buildings and characters inside are all green codes, which looks very futuristic.

The second poster is a recent photo of the Salvation trio. The three Neos are all wearing sunglasses and looking forward coolly.

The third poster is a final makeup photo of Neo and Trinity, holding guns, and the background is all green code.

The fourth poster shows the Salvation trio again, with full-body photos in different poses.

There are a few more at the back.

Qin Feng looked at them again and said, "They are all pretty good. Relatively speaking, the first few are better. Let's use the first ones first."

……

The work of post-production planning is boring, but it is less tiring than working on the set.

time flies.

Two weeks have passed.

The first version of the trailer went through special effects synthesis, color and sound effects, and was finally made.

Several department heads came to Qin Feng's office, and the computer was connected to the big screen.

"Let's go!" he said.

Click to play the trailer:
At night, Neo was sleeping on the table.

A line of words was typed on the screen: Neo, wake up!

The next second, the office.

The background sound is Morpheus's: "Have you ever had a dream that you are sure is real?"

Neo answered the phone, looking nervous.

"What if you can't wake up from your dream?"

He was caught by Agent Smith and had a mechanical bug in his belly.

"How do you tell a dream?"

There was thunder and lightning, and Morpheus appeared and turned his head.

The phone rang.

Neo watched in shock as his hand turned to glass.

Neo: "That's impossible."

Morpheus: "You want to know what the matrix is? Neo."

"Ah——!" Neo screamed loudly, and the vitreous body rushed into his body instantly.

Background music starts, lines of code appear, and text introductions flash.

Morpheus opened his hands, revealing two pills, one blue and one red.

The red girl walked by and smiled at Neo.

In a white world, Neo and Trinity looked at each other.

Helicopters fly out and a building explodes.

"As long as the matrix continues, man can never be free."

boom--!An explosion!
Then explode! !
Neo's double guns were on full fire, and the agent was quickly dodging bullets.

The camera rotated, bullets flew past with bullet marks, and Neo's upper body fell back.

In a dark corridor.

Neo slowly raised his head with firm eyes.

"Free your mind."

The camera flashes back quickly and the music stops abruptly.

The movie title appears: The Matrix.

The trailer ends at 2 minutes and 11 seconds.

Several people in charge looked at Qin Feng together.
