The huge Sergei sat on the dining table, his big mouth was like a crusher, constantly stuffing food. Anna Greenberg seemed to have suddenly found a soulmate, and when he saw that his plate was empty, he would add a large piece of beef for him.

The state of this Russian-American bear eating makes people who watch him eat feel a big appetite, while Greenberg and Wayne have never eaten what she cooks like this.

Anna looked at the big guy who liked to eat the food she cooked and had an amazing appetite, and showed an aunt's smile on her face. The farm has never lacked beef, but the people who appreciate her cooking.

Don't worry about Sergey, who was eating meat crazy, Wayne was thinking about the company information Colin brought. In fact, according to Old Greenberg's idea, it is safer to invest in old-established companies such as General Electric and ExxonMobil.

But he knew better than anyone else that the future trend was the Internet, which was an invention that would change everyone's living conditions and change the social form of the whole world.

"Actually you can consult Howard." Greenberg, the old man, still trusted his family accountant. "The profit model of Internet companies is worrying, maybe Howard can give you some other advice."

"Dad." Wayne swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up the juice and drank it all in one sip. "My investment purpose is just to preserve value. In my opinion, it doesn't matter how much profit it makes. I just don't want to keep the large amount of funds stupidly in my hands."

"You guys eat first, I'll go to the backyard to take a look." He picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped his hands. Wayne stood up and walked towards the door.

"By the way, mom, arrange a room for Sergey."

After leaving the living room door, he walked around the villa to the backyard. Quatma saw him coming and kicked the ground with his hooves.

According to the original idea, I took the horse back to Los Angeles, but I had to find a horse-raising staff when I took it back. It would be better to let him stay on the farm, at least there are cowboys here to take care of him every day.

The two dogs are different from horses, and they are more convenient to raise, and they have a deep relationship with the two golden retrievers. When they were very young, they lived in the same room with themselves, and when they were young, they would hug them and sleep.

Gently stroked the horse's face, its big tongue would stick out and lick Wayne's palm. After only a few minutes, Quatma found that he didn't bring carrots this time, so she turned her head and ignored him.

"This little bastard!"

I originally wanted to ride a circle, but seeing that it was OK, Wayne simply went back to the room and rested early.

Life on the farm is the same every day. For those who are used to living in big cities, it is very boring, without any lights, wine and entertainment facilities.

But Wayne has always liked the peace here. He felt that the most right thing Old Greenberg had done in his life was to buy this big farm.

The two days he stayed here were the two days when he was most relaxed during this period. He took two dogs and leaned on the lounge chair. On the left was a large area of ​​invisible grass and on the right a large area of ​​crops.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, you can see cowboys riding by horses from time to time. At this moment, he felt the joy of Old Greenberg.

"Look at this thing!"

While he was trance, Old Greenberg walked to the porch, threw him a stack of newspapers, and stared at him with the eyes of the criminal. "I remind you that if you dare to make me a grandfather of a black child, I will pick up the largest caliber of my collection and send you a message."

He picked up the newspaper in his arms, and there was news about him in almost every entertainment page. It seemed that Warner public relations staff did a very good job this time.

"Just yesterday, the African-American beauty, Harry Berry moved into director Greenberg's mansion in Beverly Hills. This pair of young Hollywood golden boys and jade girls are expected to achieve success. Director Greenberg put down the production of "Escape from the Death..."

"Wayne Greenberg, the genius director who won over 100 million yuan in the first film in Hollywood, has a favorite girlfriend that is actually an African. This is in line with the movie "Escape from the Deadly Town" he is working on..."

After glanced at these expected reports, he threw the newspaper aside and explained to his father.

"My mother explained that this is just a promotional method arranged by Warner, everything is fake!"

Old Greenberg pointed to the photos in the newspaper. "I have seen photos of this girl. Although the relationship may be fake, some things cannot be faked. She is a beautiful girl.

I've been young too, Wayne! What I want to remind you is to recall the knowledge I once gave you, take safety measures, and don't have any accidents!"

"If you make her belly bigger, it's definitely a trouble. Also, don't easily believe those Hollywood actresses. Who can refuse such a low-cost thing as if they are pregnant with a child? "

Is what Old Greenberg said possible? It is absolutely possible, and the possibility is very high, but he has always been very careful about this and will never let such a thing happen.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm responsible. When the video is out, this matter will end immediately!"

Looking at his swearing son, Old Greenberg snorted and turned around and went back.

Two leisurely days passed by, and Sergei also ended his days of eating and drinking, drove into the car and brought his boss back to Los Angeles.

The holiday passed, and the next day back to Los Angeles, Wayne, Luke and John plunged into the Warner late studio.

Compared with the post-production of "Happy Death Day", Warner Bros. provides significantly more professional conditions, and editor Dawn Scott is also a relatively famous veteran in the industry.

In fact, Wayne especially wanted to dig up the aunt editor, Julia from Castle Stone Film. Unfortunately, she didn't want to change her work environment, and the videos produced by Warner could not be put in another company for later production.

How important are editors to a movie? They are equivalent to secondary creation of the film. Different editors use different editing techniques to create the results of different differences.

The editing of this film must be based on the director's opinion. In terms of the length of the film he shot, it is much less film than normal film, which is one of the reasons why the shooting speed is faster.

Before starting, several people held a meeting of opinions in the later studio as usual.

Wayne wants to tell the editor Dawn Scott unreservedly about his production philosophy of the movie and the story style he needs after the filming, so that he will pay attention to retaining the shots needed by the director when he cut it for the first time.

"Guys, this is destined to be a patience-competing work. We shot more than 800 minutes of footage, most of which have to be cut off, and the tedious work is coming. Let's do it, guys!"

As Wayne finished speaking, Dawn Scott walked to the screen and started the first rough cutting work. John did not say a word, but stood behind them and silently observed the entire work.

Films that exceed 800 minutes need to be roughly cut, secondary editing, fine cut, and integrated film editing. From the beginning, you need to compare the material selection and splicing, and finally after frame-by-frame editing, film editing, color adjustment, and soundtracking, compressing it to more than 90 minutes, which is a movie with smooth plot.

Since the editor started, Wayne did not dare to be distracted for a moment. He and Luke stood behind Dawn and would discuss their opinions on the use of the material from time to time.

These different materials are matched and spliced ​​in different ways, and the effects of the movies may be completely different, and the stories may even go in the opposite direction, so he must always keep an eye on them to ensure that all films are used in line with the ideas in his mind.

As far as Wayne knows about his previous life, there are not too many negative textbooks in this regard. When Ridley Scott was filming "Dynasty of Heaven", the final release version and the director's cut version were completely two films.

The failure of "Dynasty" in the box office cannot be blamed entirely on director Ridley Scott. Although he also served as the producer, the executive of 20th Century Fox's fingers on the post-production of the film are the main reason for the failure of the film.

Wayne has seen two versions of this film, and the release version is simply a disaster. The early stage of the story is not enough, and later there is a plot that makes the audience confused and the chaotic narrative rhythm, which makes the fans feel inexplicable after watching it.

Compared to the release version, Ridley Scott's director's cut version took longer, with the entire film being more than 190 minutes, at least it made the story clear.

But if the Ridley Scott version was released, would the box office be good? In fact, Wayne doesn't think it's certain, but at least he's done the story.

Don't talk about anything else. The first purpose of Hollywood production companies investing in films is to make a profit. If the director's editing version is too long, it is naturally unfriendly to the screening times. The production companies will restrict the director's editing rights, which is a big reason.

If Wayne does not want to follow the old path of Ridley Scott in the future, he must restrain his director's desire to be happy. When editing the film, profit must be the first consideration.

Small-budget movies like "Escape from the Deadly Town" do not need to add special effects or something later. The work is not as complicated as those big productions, but it is not easy either.

"Stop, Dawn, change the No. 16 lens here, fade between No. 7 and No. 8 lenses, yes, no problem!" Wayne would interrupt the editor's work from time to time, and after discussing with Luke, he would also ask him to modify the editing plan.

"Wayne, what if you use a little high-speed slow motion here?" Luke pointed to the screen. The picture just completed was the scene where the male protagonist was murdering in the house.

"Keep this way first, wait until the editing is completed to see the effect before deciding whether to use it."

When Luke heard his words, he just wrote down his opinions on the notebook. This was the first editing process, and there will be at least two or three more times later, so he is not in a hurry.
