Chapter 842 had to make difficult choices and edits.
"But, you also know that the rhythm and narrative style of Hollywood movies are more direct and focused on impact."
“If the cultural expression is too complex, it may affect the audience’s movie-watching experience.”
Lin Gao was silent for a while, then showed a smile.
"Kevin, I know what you mean."
"But what we are going to do this time is not just a Hollywood-style superhero movie."
"The special thing about this movie is that it incorporates Chinese culture. The combination of East and West is its core charm."
"If we abandon these cultural elements, the soul of the movie will be lost."
Kevin fell into a brief thought.
He is well aware of Lin Gao's accomplishments in movies and understands the importance of this movie.
"Okay."
Kevin finally nodded.
"I respect your opinion, Lin."
"However, we still have to ensure that these cultural elements do not become barriers to understanding for the audience."
"We can add some explanatory lines in the later stage to help the audience understand better."
Lin Gao smiled and nodded.
"This is no problem."
After the meeting, Lin Gao stood in front of the window, looking at the night view of the city outside, but his heart was a little complicated.
He knew that Kevin's concerns were real.
After all, Western audiences have limited understanding of Chinese culture, and the commercial nature of the film requires it to be recognized in the global market.
How to maintain cultural depth while making it easily acceptable to Western audiences has always been a problem.
But Lin Gao never intended to compromise.
He firmly believes that film is a carrier that can transcend cultures.
Whether it is Eastern or Western, a good movie should be able to transport the audience into a new world through emotion and vision.
Early the next morning, Lin Gao and his team held an emergency meeting to discuss how to better balance cultural expression and film rhythm.
"I think we can convey these cultural messages through the interaction of the characters."
A member of the writing team offered his opinion.
"For example, in certain scenes, the protagonist can have conversations about these cultures with the supporting characters."
"This method can convey the cultural background naturally without making the audience feel stiff."
After hearing this, Lin Gao nodded.
"That's a good idea."
“But we have to make sure these conversations are real and natural, not force-fed knowledge.”
"What the audience fears most is being preached to."
He paused and continued: "In addition, we can also do more visual guidance."
"Through color and scene design, the audience can feel the culture through the pictures instead of just relying on lines."
The entire team is listening carefully to Lin Gao's opinions.
Everyone understands that the difficulty of this movie lies not only in the visual effects, but also in the cultural expression.
After several hours of discussion, everyone finally found a relatively compromise solution.
It not only retains the cultural depth of the film, but also takes care of the audience's viewing experience.
After the meeting, Lin Gao returned to his office, sat at his desk, and began to revise the script in detail.
He knew that the movie had entered a critical stage.
Every detail must be carefully considered and there is no room for error.
After a few hours, the script was finally revised.
Lin Gao looked at the text flashing on the computer screen and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei opened the door and walked in. He couldn't help but sigh when he saw Lin Gao still sitting at the table working.
"Boss, it's getting late, it's time for you to rest."
Lin Gao smiled, closed the computer, and stood up.
"It's time to take a rest." "There is an important scene to be filmed tomorrow."
In the next few days, the work on the set remained tense and orderly.
Lin Gao personally acted in every scene and carefully controlled the rhythm of every shot.
He not only has to ensure that the actors' performances are accurate, but also always pays attention to whether the expression of cultural elements is appropriate.
Film shooting gradually entered the final sprint stage.
Every day, Lin Gao works hard on the set with his team.
Although tired, he knew that this tense state would be best rewarded when the movie was released.
A few weeks later, filming on the movie was finally coming to an end.
Lin Gao stood on the set and watched the preparations for the last scene. His mood was a little complicated.
This film is his years of hard work and carries too many expectations and dreams.
Now, everything will be settled.
"Everyone prepares."
Lin Gao shouted loudly.
The staff immediately became busy and the actors began final rehearsals.
This scene is the climax of the entire movie and also the most difficult scene to shoot.
It not only requires the actors' emotional expression to be in place, but also involves a lot of special effects.
Lin Gao stood in front of the monitor, his eyes locked on the screen.
At his command, the camera began to roll and the actors got into the mood.
Lin Gao stared at the screen intently, paying attention to every detail.
After taking several photos, he still felt it wasn't perfect.
"Do it again."
he shouted decisively.
Although the actors were a little tired, they all knew that Lin Gao attached great importance to this scene, and no one raised any objection.
This time, Lin Gao asked the photographer to adjust the angle of the camera, and at the same time put forward higher requirements for the actors' emotional expression.
As the filming continued, Lin Gao finally saw the effect he wanted.
Every movement and expression in the picture is full of power and depth.
"Okay, call it a day!"
Lin Gao finally showed a satisfied smile.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the studio burst into warm applause.
Lin Gao stood there, looking at everyone on the set, and his heart was filled with gratitude.
It was a tough battle, but they won.
Filming has officially ended.
Lin Gao took a deep breath, as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted off his shoulders.
Wei Lianlian came over and said to him with a smile: "Congratulations, boss."
Lin Gao nodded and said with a smile: "We did it."
The work ahead is still arduous, but Lin Gao knows that the hardest part is over.
He looked into the distance, filled with anticipation.
This movie is not just a superhero blockbuster, it will become a bridge between Eastern and Western cultural exchanges.
Lin Gao believes that it will shine with a unique light on the global screen.
The filming of the movie finally came to an end.
But Lin Gao understood that this was only the first stage of the battle.
The subsequent post-production will determine whether the film can truly become a shocking work.
After returning to the studio, Lin Gao devoted himself to post-production work.
Faced with hundreds of hours of material, he had to make difficult choices and edits.
"Director Lin, today we have to deal with the special effects synthesis of the fighting scene first."
