Chapter 47 Editing

"Hello, Director Zhang!"

"Hello, Ms. Ye Mengxi! Welcome to the crew..."

At the hotel rented by the film crew, Zhang Zeyan brought Ye Mengxi to meet director Zhang Ermao.

This was their first time working together, so both sides were very polite to each other.

"Director Zhang, I've read your script, and I'm very optimistic about our movie. When do you think we should sign the contract? That way, I can get on set and start filming as soon as possible..." Ye Mengxi asked Zhang Ermao with a smile.

"Anytime is fine..."

More than an hour later, Ye Mengxi and Zhang Ermao successfully signed the investment contract and the actor contract.

Ye Mengxi invested 100 million yuan, and with her salary calculated, she accounts for 20% of the film's revenue.

Then there's director Zhang Ermao himself, who, as the director and with an investment of 50 million, occupies 15% of the share.

Zhang Zeyan invested 50 million yuan, and with his contributions in revising the script and helping the production team secure investment, he also holds a 15% share.

The remaining 50 percent went to the special effects company fabricated by Zhang Zeyan.

Of course, this is all predicated on the special effects company being able to produce effects that satisfy Zhang Ermao.

Right now, Zhang Ermao is making the most of his time to film a scene that requires special effects.

He will only sign a contract with a special effects company after he is certain that the company can produce good special effects.

If the special effects company recommended by Zhang Zeyan doesn't work out, he might look for other investors to find a solution.

After Ye Mengxi and Zhang Ermao signed the contract, Ye Mengxi then transferred 100 million yuan to the production team's account.

"Miss Ye, I've already booked a table of delicious food. I'll invite the entire crew over later as a welcome dinner for you," Zhang Ermao said politely to Ye Mengxi.

"Thank you, Director Zhang." Ye Mengxi nodded.

At 6 p.m., Zhang Ermao gathered the main actors and crew management together and then solemnly introduced the new investor and leading actress, Ye Mengxi.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised to learn that the female lead of this movie was none other than Ye Mengxi, the star of the interstellar film.

With the addition of the young actress, "Star Girl," this movie is sure to be even more successful.

Only Liu Qingqing, who was originally the female lead but whose role was taken by Ye Mengxi, was polite on the surface but was full of defensiveness in her heart.

Most importantly, Liu Qingqing noticed that Ye Mengxi and Zhang Zeyan were very close while chatting and laughing, which made her even more hostile towards Ye Mengxi, although she did not show it.

After the meal, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

"Hey little rascal, which room do you live in?"

Less than ten minutes after finishing her meal, Ye Mengxi called.

"Uh, I'm in room 506!"

"wait for me!"

Less than two minutes later, there was a knock on Zhang Zeyan's door.

Zhang Zeyan quickly opened the door and saw Ye Mengxi standing outside with a smile on her face.

"Sister Xi, is there something you need?" Zhang Zeyan asked Ye Mengxi.

"Of course I need to talk to you." As Ye Mengxi spoke, she went straight into Zhang Zeyan's room.

"Little brat. Come here and let your big sister give you a kiss..."

Soon, a thrilling battle began in Zhang Zeyan's room.

……

The crew resumed filming the day after Ye Mengxi arrived.

Ye Mengxi and Zhang Ermao had already made arrangements yesterday.

She has only been here for a month and a half, so she hopes Zhang Ermao will start filming her scenes as soon as possible.

A month and a half later, she will return to interstellar space to film her previous movies and TV series.

Zhang Ermao readily agreed to Ye Mengxi's request.

From that day on, everything in the production crew revolved around Ye Mengxi.

……

Because the special effects were needed for the scenes, the special effects company was asked to test the rendering effects first, so the entire crew has now moved from the film studio to a forest area.

There is a scene here where two mechs are fighting.

"Senior brother, I think we can film this way..."

During filming, Zhang Zeyan would also check the shooting results while Zhang Ermao was filming.

At the same time, he would also have Xiaoling rate the footage he shot.

If the rating is too low, he will ask Xiaoling for advice.

After Xiaoling gave his advice, he gave his opinions to Zhang Ermao.

At first, Zhang Ermao was somewhat skeptical, but since Zhang Zeyan was an investor, he still gave it a try according to Zhang Zeyan's suggestion.

When he actually filmed the footage according to Zhang Zeyan's suggestions, he was amazed by his own work.

So from that day on, before filming began, Zhang Ermao would always talk to Zhang Zeyan to discuss how to film the next scene.

A few days later, Zhang Ermao handed a memory card to Zhang Zeyan.

"Junior brother, these are movie clips I edited. They all need special effects. Show them to your friends and see what kind of effects they can create," Zhang Ermao said to Zhang Zeyan.

"Okay, senior, I'll give the materials to my friend."

As soon as Zhang Ermao left, Zhang Zeyan began to review the movie clips that Zhang Ermao had edited.

Unfortunately, you can't fully experience the immersive atmosphere of a 3D holographic movie using your phone.

However, he could allow Xiaoling to rate the edited clips.

Based on clips from this film, Xiaoling gives it a score of 82.

Hearing Xiaoling's words, Zhang Zeyan thought for a moment and asked, "What if we add special effects?"

Even with perfect special effects, this clip only scores 82 points.

"So my script was a 90 out of 100, and the filming was also a 90 out of 100, but the final edited-to-be-82-point movie clips?"

"Xiaoling, based on the film footage shot these past few days, what's the best editing effect you'd like to achieve?"

If the editing and special effects are done at their best, this movie clip could reach a score of 90 out of 100 for the script.

"So, it's still Zhang Ermao's editing skills that are lacking."

Without hesitation, Zhang Zeyan went straight out and found Zhang Ermao.

"Senior brother, give me all the videos you've filmed these past few days," Zhang Zeyan said to Zhang Ermao.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ermao looked at Zhang Zeyan in confusion.

"I feel there's something wrong with the video you edited."

"There's a problem with my editing? Impossible, I edited it exactly according to your script."

"Senior, I revised the script and have seen all the footage, so I know exactly how well it can be edited."

"If you don't believe me, senior brother, why don't you let me edit a video, and then we can compare them?" Zhang Zeyan said to Zhang Ermao.

Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's words, Zhang Ermao frowned.

Zhang Zeyan's attempt to interfere with his editing rights made him feel offended.

However, Zhang Zeyan is an investor, so he can't show any disrespect.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I want to see what kind of video you can edit."

Soon, Zhang Ermao brought Zhang Zeyan to the editing room and made a copy of all the footage for Zhang Zeyan.

In the editing room, Zhang Zeyan was not familiar with the editing equipment, so he had to ask Zhang Ermao to teach him one by one.

"You don't even know how to use editing equipment. Are you sure your edited videos will be better than mine?" Zhang Ermao asked, somewhat disbelievingly.

"Senior, although I don't know how to use editing equipment, I know what kind of effect I want..."
