Chapter 148： simple soundtrack

• Europa Pictures' headquarters building, a editing room. 35xs

Ryan with the headset is combing, inserting the film's voiceover, that is, the narration.

Thomas sat in front of the editing table, looking at the rough cut footage of "Bad Guy", looking for suitable editing points.

On the ground, two big men were laying on the floor.

Eyes dull, no focus.

Last night, they edited it all night, which is crazy.

Of course, it was also the two of them who were interested, and the inspiration was like a spring, and they couldn't stop it.

In this clip, Wen Ziren was also fortunate to be pulled into the gang by Laiman.

Do you want to be a director? It's good to have a little more relevant experience.

And last night, it was the two of them who teamed up to edit there.

After resting for an unknown time, Lyman, who was not sleepy, simply sat down and watched the progress of the work after Ryan and Thomas took over.

"How much?"

"264 minutes." Thomas turned around, looking like he had good energy, "There are more than ten minutes of material left to cut."

In other words, after they finished filming, they each took a three-day vacation, and then assembled again to complete the post-production work of the film.

Counting the days, as of today, they have been in the editing room for almost a week.

Of course, the progress of the work is also worthy of their efforts, and now it has begun to re-cut.

After all, the post-production work of "Bad Guy" is not tedious. It does not use too much computer CG special effects for synthesis, nor does it need to render the background of the lens.

At this rate, Lyman is confident that the entire post-production of the film will be completed by early May.

That is, until now, the benefits of his insistence on shooting most of the scenes in real scenes are really reflected.

In the following time, the group continued to devote themselves to the film editing.

Three days later, the re-cut was completed, and Hans Zimmer's soundtrack team was invited to Paris to join the production.

Since the last time the two cooperated to complete the "Fury" project, they have also gotten to know each other.

Lehman still recognized the ability of his team, and this time he also found them for the soundtrack of "Bad Guy".

After fine-cutting it again, the length of the whole film is controlled at about 153 minutes.

The time came to May 3. At this time, Luc Besson of Europa Pictures called and said that it was possible to put on a movie trailer to promote the promotion.

Lehman is absolutely necessary, and spent a day cutting out a 90-second trailer for the movie.

However, after editing, a special soundtrack is needed.

In this regard, Hans - Zimmer proposed a plan.

"There is a company that specializes in soundtracking trailers. If you want to launch it quickly, you need to find them."

Because the movie needs several original soundtracks for the scene, his team has been busy with that recently, and they don't have much time to score the trailer.

Later, Hans Zimmer briefly introduced the trailer soundtrack company called "Intuitive Music".

"At present, their company has a huge music copyright library in the market. Most of these music are music clips with strong universality. We call it material music in the industry, which is very suitable for the editing of movie trailers."

The so-called material music is developed along with media such as film, television, radio, and games. The "Intuitive Music" company consciously creates some commonly used tunes to license to some film studios or TV stations, radio stations, and games. Production company to collect copyright fees.

So if you hear a certain piece of music that is familiar to you, you can see it not only in games, but also in videos, don’t doubt it, it’s material music.

It is common for the same material music to appear in various media, and those companies also rely on this multi-faceted authorization to make money.

"Intuition Company" has done a particularly good job in the movie trailers. The trailers of "Independence Day", "Mission Impossible", "Harry Potter" and other movies all have traces of it.

The musical note combinations produced by this specialized assembly line are not only very selective, but also have high quality assurance, which can be as close to the theme of a movie as possible, and also greatly improve the production efficiency of trailers.

With the development of commercial films becoming more and more prosperous and the need for publicity methods, this simple soundtrack trailer method has gradually become the mainstream of Hollywood.

It can be said that it is a product of the times and the development of the market.

"Okay, I'll get in touch now."

A day later, the relevant person in charge of "Intuitive Music" came to Paris and brought a dozen more suitable simple tunes.

After a selection by Hans Zimmer, one of them was chosen.

To this end, Europa Pictures paid a licensing fee of $100,000.

Don't underestimate this money. After the movie is released, the right to use the soundtrack is still in "Intuitive Music", and they can also authorize it twice.

This kind of recycling of copyrights is a fairly stable and long-term source of income, so these soundtrack companies are getting very high returns with very little investment.

After the problem of the trailer was quickly resolved, it was quickly brought to the market by Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures using their resources before the summer vacation.

Carriers such as TV commercials and movie inserts on the big screen also completed the task very well.

All of a sudden, the discussion about "Bad Guy" suddenly increased.

In particular, several leading actors in the trailer, especially the confrontation scene between Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage in the warehouse, aroused a lot of curiosity among fans.

"Well, you'll deal with her." Cage with a calm face took out a gun, carefully loaded the bullet and handed it to Tom.

Forcing his composure, Tom took the gun and pulled the trigger at the female cigar shop owner in the iron barrel.

In this conversation, the eyes and actions of the two are in place.

According to the fans, if Nicolas Cage is gone, when will Tom be full of drama? I'd love to see the whole movie.

After the trailer was fermented for a period of time, the PR team of Paramount Pictures quickly worked hard again, bribing the front-page headlines of major media and newspapers, specifically to praise Tom Cruise for how hard he worked in the filming of "Bad Guy". What fights don't need a stand-in, what high temperature insists on filming, and almost fainted in the end, what is the script to think about how to act well, the script is rotten

Anyway, how to attract attention and how to come, as for whether it is true, who cares?

Exaggeration is a bit of exaggeration, but the effect is truly amazing.

Over the years, it has not been a day or two to say that Tom Cruise is dedicated, and he does have this qualification.

At least, they really worked hard enough when they were filming, not all of them were fake.

And these reports in the media, in addition to winning the sympathy of fans and audiences, also caused some people to watch the movie.

Data from random surveys conducted by a street survey firm hired by Paramount Pictures is a pretty strong proof.

In the Paramount Pictures headquarters building in Hollywood, the high-level marketing department who was in a meeting reported the information collected in this regard.

"In this random survey, a total of 4,620 people were asked, and the crowd was mainly between 16 and 45 years old. Among them, more than 83 percent had heard or seen news related to "Bad Guy", and more than 62 percent had heard about it. of people expressed interest, and more than 20 percent said they would definitely enter the theater to support it.”

F-Terry stood in front of the projector, and while switching the data, he introduced in detail, "Most of the remaining people said that they would decide whether to watch the film according to the quality of the film, and about 12 percent of them did not. Interested, there are also some investigators who expressed disgust at the addition of Tom Cruise."

disgust? Which movie star doesn't have a black fan, don't care at all.

After everyone heard it, Shirley Lansing showed a satisfied smile on her face, "It seems that we have done a good job, and the focus of the next publicity can be shifted to Nicolas Cage and director Lehman. Like every director who is becoming famous, he is establishing his own reputation as a director, and we should not let go of this advantage."

"Yeah." The director of Paramount Pictures' publicity department responded.

"What's the arrangement on Europa Pictures? Did they say it?" Shirley Lansing continued.

"They will help 'Bad Guy' enter the screening list of the organizers of this year's Cannes International Film Festival, first use the Cannes Film Festival to create momentum, and prepare for the premiere in both places to maximize the effect of publicity."

"Okay, that's it. We will continue to maintain the existing publicity efforts, and we will only wait for more resources to focus on publicity during the Cannes Film Festival Everyone nodded and affirmed.

"Dismiss."

In the editing room of Europa Pictures, Wen Ziren was in a very happy mood.

When filming "Bad Guy", he felt that he was constantly surprised. In order to achieve the imaging effect that Lehman wanted, it can be said that he was taught humbly.

And now, when I see the finished film, I feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

"It's wonderful." His face was ruddy and his eyes were glowing as he watched "Bad Guy" being played.

This movie has benefited Wen Ziren a lot.

Lyman on the side is also very relaxed, and the hard work during this period of time can be regarded as a result.

Indoors, Ryan, Thomas and others were also excited and excited.

"Huh, I must take a good bath and sleep well tonight." After the movie was played, and there was nothing wrong with the inspection, Ryan said with some emotion.

Throughout the three weeks of eating and living without leaving post-production, Ryan felt that he lost a lot of weight.

Finally, he didn't have to look at the shooting material anymore, he felt that he had gained a new life.

"Let's go, let's have a good meal first." Lyman sealed the film and greeted first.

The group walked comfortably in the park of Europa Films, and after a while, they came to a restaurant.

After ordering, Lyman called George again and asked him to make a few more copies of the finished film.

Then, I called Luc Besson again, saying that the post-production was completed.

Put down the phone, the food has arrived.
