Since January, awards season has completely become the theme of Hollywood. With the holding of major awards ceremonies, this year's popular Oscars have naturally been born.

During this period of the media industry's overall high nest, the only one who can get a place from the preview of various awards and the winning analysis of popular films is probably no one expected that Wayne, who was hiding in Warner Studios and had never received media interviews at all.

"Nami called from New Zealand and asked me about that diamond underwear."

Taking advantage of the break, Nina took her assistant Lily, holding seven or eight cups of coffee in her hands, and pushed open the door of the editing room. After allocating coffee to all the members, she sat next to Wayne, shrugged and said casually:

"Nami asked me to tell you that if you bought that diamond underwear, you didn't want to give it to her. Then she would definitely take Little Fendi with her and run back to Australia for three or two months off."

"This stupid woman."

Smiling and shaking his head, Wayne looked at the editor Julia beside him, and the few people, including Gilmore, all showed playful laughter.

"Hey, boss." Gilmo put down the coffee cup in his hand and joking with an exaggerated expression: "What would you choose between your lovely daughter and that sparkling set of underwear?

e on, if it were me, I would never let the woman do it easily. My daughter was taken on vacation for a few months at most, but that unique diamond underwear would be gone, right?”

"Yes, Wayne."

Julia, who was getting stronger and stronger, reached out and hugged one of Wayne's arms. Under the gaze of everyone, she said in an exaggerated tone: "Dear junior, I am completely different from those female celebrities. I am not greedy at all. As long as you lend me that diamond underwear for a week, I will consider dating you tonight, what about?"

Boom ~

During the rest room in the editing room, everyone was laughing. Even Nina, who had been serious in front of outsiders, kept raising eyebrows at her boss.

"Man, I'll remind you very kindly." Luke Simmons spread his hands and looked squeaky, saying to Wayne in the laughter of everyone: "Wayne, this may be the only chance you can make an appointment with Julia in your life. If I were you, I would definitely seize it."

Under the teasing of everyone, Wayne tilted his head and lit a cigarette. In front of everyone's eyes, he held the cigarette in the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hands. Then he raised his middle fingers with both hands and shook them back and forth at the few people.

“f**k off!”

"Are you sure you won't think about it anymore? Wayne."

Julia, who has dark skin and is basically the same size as the size, looks at Wayne with a sad expression.

"No, Julia." Shaking his head without hesitation, Wayne suddenly pointed at Luke Simmons and said in a seductive tone: "But I can give this precious opportunity to Luke. If you can get Luke tonight, that diamond underwear can lend you a week."

Luke Simmons blinked, his expression slowly changed his head with a stiff and extremely stiff expression, just in time to meet Julia's eyes. When he found that the editor, who looked like a black aunt, had a heart-warming light flashing in his eyes, the coffee in his mouth almost spurted out.

"hey,hey,hey,Julia,no,no..." Everyone looked at Luke Simmons with a funny look and stammered in an attempt to explain something. "You know, I am definitely not the one you like, Julia, listen to me, don't be impulsive. Force a man to date you is a violation of the law..."

"You little bi**h..."

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Gilmo held Julia's arm tightly. Luke Simmons turned around and opened the door and rushed out without any hesitation.

At least he knew very well that if he really calculated the combat power based on his body shape, no one in this room could put Julia alone. The black lady's weight has increased in the past two years. In an emergency, it is more important to escape first.

"Okay, the time for jokes is over."

He raised his wrist and looked at the time, Wayne put away the smile on his face and clapped everyone. "Okay, there is still a lot of work waiting for us, come on, move."

Because Julia, who is mainly responsible for editing, followed the crew for observation early in the morning. During this period, she not only sat in the studio with Wayne every night, but also started to make an editing plan before the filming work was completed.

Therefore, when the editing of "Wonder Woman" officially started, it took only more than half a month to strictly follow the plan and complete the first rough cutting work.

When Wayne walked into the editing room again, they officially started the second round of fine cutting work. Compared to the first round of rough cutting, a lot of preparations were made in advance. Starting from this round of editing, it was the real tedious and troublesome beginning.

Relatively speaking, their work progress is not fast, at most even if they can keep up with the plan just now. There are many reasons for this, but the most important factor is Wayne's capriciousness.

Sometimes he had worked hard for a day, but when he was about to get off work at night, he would have a sudden idea to overturn the results of his work all day, and then he would take Julia, Gilmore and others to ignore the labor law and start working overtime, and follow the new ideas to overturn and start over again.

Of course, on Wayne's crew, it is always happy for workers outside the core team members behind the scenes, at least they never had the opportunity to participate in this unreasonable overtime work.

Just like Julia and others said, he never asked several people to work overtime with him, but there was no fool among the core team members. Such a good opportunity, 99% of the behind-the-scenes staff in the circle could not even ask for it, so of course they were unwilling to miss the rare learning opportunity.

After several times throughout Hollywood, how many behind-the-scenes workers can have the opportunity to participate in the post-production work of a project costing 200 million US dollars? It can be said that such valuable learning opportunities are very rare no matter that era.

"The pace is wrong, Julia."

Looking at the footage that had just been spliced ​​together, Wayne frowned slightly, looked at Gilmore on the side at the first time, and said without hesitation: "Switch that damn music, turn it off now!"

"What's wrong, boss?"

Gilmore shut down the music in surprise and asked at him.

Even Julia, who had been in charge of editing, looked at him with a sense of inquisitiveness. At least the scene of Wonder Woman rushing out of the battlefield just now, she felt that there was no problem with the scene, and all of them were spliced ​​according to the other party's ideas.

"The rhythm is wrong, it's quiet for five minutes, let me think about it."

As he said that, Wayne took a few steps back and sat on his chair. He grabbed the cigarette on the table, lit one, and looked outside along the window, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

Both of them worked with him once or twice. Seeing him in this state, they looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. The members of the core team knew that once the crew leader lit a cigarette and squinted his eyes, it meant that his mind was thinking quickly.

The clip they were editing just now was not complicated at all. It was Diana Prince stretching out of the battlefield, unbuttoning his hair under the gaze of the soldiers around him, taking off his ordinary man's coat, turning into a Wonder Woman and walking into the center of the battlefield where war was flying.

The seemingly simple shots have a lot to express. This shot is also responsible for arousing the excitement of the fans, especially after being accompanied by the low background music.

According to common sense, Julia's methods of handling are not a problem, but Wayne himself always feels something is wrong, or the rhythm is wrong.

Rhythm, this is something formed at the subconscious level of the editor. The most commonly used and most common way for a senior editor to find the rhythm of the picture is to use a piece of music to lay it underneath, and then on this basis, cut into the matching lens material.

Just like the music that Gilmore just turned off, this piece of music itself is the soundtrack to be used in "Wonder Woman" editing this shot.

Movies are a kind of audition enjoyment, especially modern commercial blockbusters. Whether it is science fiction, suspense, or action movies, if you want to bring the audience into emotions, empathize with the audience, and inspire the so-called "refresh" emotions that the audience calls to watch, they all need to be guided by the soundtrack.

The same is true when editing action shots. The most common way for editors who host editing is to make the rhythm and layering of the music itself the dominant rhythm of the screen editing.

This is an idiotic way to edit action scenes or important scenes, but it is not the only way.

"Julia, like Diana Pris, transformed into Wonder Woman, and began to walk into the battlefield where wars are raging. Such a big panoramic view shouldn't be left for more than a second."

Before a cigarette was finished, Wayne sat up from the chair and said to the editor Julia. Since the beginning of the editing work, discussions like this have been ongoing, and this time there are no exceptions.

"You mean..." Nodded thoughtfully, Julia looked at the man in front of her and murmured: "The big panoramic view of Diana Pris entering the battlefield needs to leave a longer viewing time for the audience? Right?"

"That's right!"

While thinking, Wayne reiterated his new requirements to Julia. "In such a special panorama, there is enough information contained in it and the performance range can be reflected. So, don't worry about the damn background music, let's lengthen this appearance. I remember this material, I took it long enough."

Julia nodded. "Okay, leave it to me."

The reason for such changes is that Wayne is overturning the editing rules and overturning the rhythm of the action scenes. But now sitting in the editing room and hosting the post-work, his perspective on the problem has quietly changed.

One of the biggest selling points of this film, and it can be said that the biggest selling point is Angelina Jolie's appearance when she changed into a full set of equipment.

So no matter what his request for editing was, he was actually always focusing on how to show "How beautiful Angelina Jolie is" 360 degrees.

There is no doubt that after the cooperation between makeup artists, cameramen, and lighting artists, Wonder Woman, who finally appeared on the big screen, was far more amazing than ordinary people imagined. This is the magic of the movie.

Looking at Julia who was busy working, Wayne, who was standing behind, hugged her arms in front of her chest, instantly fell into memories.

So far, he remembers it very clearly that no matter which media in the East and West, every time he selects the sexiest and hottest woman in the world, the name of Angelina Jolie will basically appear on the list. He even remembers that there are multiple authoritative Western media that select Angelina Jolie as the sexiest among the existing women.

There is something that is easy to ignore here. When the media were selecting the sexiest women in the world, Angelina Jolie had actually passed the peak of her appearance.

And what about her peak appearance? That’s right, it was between the mid-to-late 1990s and 2,000 years, but her undisciplined private life and rebellious personality were the main components of this peak appearance.

Then there was the "prodigal son who was popular among movie fans around the world. At that time, Angelina Jolie began to engage in charity and began to adopt children frantically, which also led to her improper marriage with Pitt being easily forgiven by the public.

In the first two years, when Angelina Jolie was frequently exposed to adopting children, the attitudes of the public and the media were actually the same, and they were viewed with a skeptical perspective. After all, this is a bad woman who broke up the "Rachel" family. Who knows if she wants to use charity to cleanse her?

But as time goes by, people gradually accept her transformation. At least compared to those charities that only stay verbally, Angelina Jolie is really helping the weak.

In this context, she is still one of the representatives of the adjective of sexy beauty in most people's hearts.

Now that she met Angelina Jolie, who had met Wayne early, at least one thing was very good, that is, her chaotic private life and rebellious personality were all put away because of her desire for fame and fortune. Not only that, she also patiently shaped her body, and finally she had this external condition that amazed everyone.

What Wayne wants to do is to show this sexy image at its peak to fans all over the world in this film.

Under this premise, even if some normal editing rules are violated, it is only a small problem. After all, in addition to DC's popularity, the biggest selling point of this film after its official release is Wonder Woman herself.

"Wayne, is this OK?"

"Okay, no problem, you did a great job."

Before getting off work, Julia woke up Wayne, who was stunned and nodded in satisfaction, and then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how hard it was, she could at least get off work and go home on time today.

Hearing his words, even Gilmore was relieved. In order to complete the work here quickly, he began to wait for Wayne's "Superman". During this period, they were all exhausted.

“Boss.”

Just as several people packed up their things and were about to get off work on time, Nina pushed open the door and walked in, whispering to report. "George Lucas just called you to have dinner, and he has sent a car to the studio to pick you up."

Wayne subconsciously looked at Nina, and both of them showed the same emotion in their eyes. After waiting for so many days, what was time to come finally came.
