"Click! We're done." As Zhang Qiurui said this through the loudspeaker, the entire crew instantly became excited. Everyone threw down the props in their hands, and cheers and applause intertwined, as if they were celebrating the arrival of a major festival.
Zhang Qiurui stood in the middle of the crowd with a satisfied smile on his face.
Looking at every actor and staff member who has devoted their efforts to this drama, my heart is filled with gratitude.
"The crew will have an extra meal at noon today. There will be meat and fish, and you will be full." As soon as Zhang Qiurui finished speaking, the crowd erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers.
"Thank you, Director."
"Long live the director."
These days, there are no wrap-up parties for domestic film shoots, and even the actors’ pay is a fixed salary from the production studio.
The film has been shot and is undergoing post-production editing. The subtitles still need to be translated into French and will be sent to Cannes for competition.
In the coming period, Zhang Qiurui will devote himself to the post-production of the film.
Although the filming phase has ended, the real challenge has just begun.
At the same time, the members of the subtitle group are also working intensively. They not only have to ensure the accuracy of the original Chinese subtitles, but also have to translate the subtitles accurately into French to suit the viewing habits of overseas audiences.
Finally, after countless days and nights of hard work, the post-production of the film was successfully completed in early April.
........。
School movie theater.
Situ Zhaodun, Xie Fei, Zheng Guoan, Xu Yan, Zhang Qiurui, Zhou Lijing, Fang Shu, Liu Jia, Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Li Shaohong, Hu Mei, Liu Miaomiao, Peng Xiaolian... and others watched the finished film of "The Fault in Our Stars".
As the film "The Fault in Our Stars" slowly unfolded, the viewing room fell into silence. As the plot unfolded, the emotional girl's eyes turned red and she sobbed softly.
As the last shot of the film slowly came to an end.
Situ Zhaodun was the first to stand up and applaud.
"Pa pa pa pa"
The others also stood up and gave warm applause.
Li Shaohong wiped the tears from her eyes while clapping, and whispered to Hu Mei beside her: "This movie is so touching. Every detail is so relatable."
Hu Mei nodded in agreement, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, as if she had just been pulled out of that world full of love and regret.
"Yes, especially their resilience and optimism in the face of illness, which is truly admirable. And that pure love is so beautiful. I didn't think much of it when I was filming, but after seeing the finished film, I felt that this movie was well made. It not only restored the original work, but also surpassed it."
“Honestly, after watching this movie, it doesn’t seem like something a novice director could handle.
Whether it is the delicate capture of emotions or the beautiful presentation of the pictures, they have reached a very high level. I can even imagine the effort and emotion that the director poured into the filming.
What's even more shocking to me is that you're only fifteen years old this year." Xie Fei looked at Zhang Qiurui, his voice filled with emotion, as if he were getting old.
"Indeed, this film left a deep impression on me. It's not just a film about illness and love; it's more like a mirror, allowing us to see the most sincere and resilient side of human nature. Every character is so vivid, as if they are right next to us, experiencing the laughter and tears with us.
From a professional perspective, from the construction of the script to the use of lenses, every detail has been carefully crafted without any sense of immaturity.
"Zhang Qiurui's control of the narrative rhythm is particularly outstanding. It's neither overly dragged out nor rushed, allowing people to naturally immerse themselves in the story and share the fate of the characters," praised Situ Zhaodun.
As Situ Zhaodun finished speaking, warm applause rang out again in the cinema.
Everyone knows that the film shot by Zhang Qiurui is undoubtedly a success. She is only fifteen years old and a freshman in college, but she has shot such a fascinating and emotionally profound film. This undoubtedly proves the teaching level of the school teachers.
It also proves her personal talent.
"Thank you everyone. I poured all my efforts into this movie. I am really happy to receive your recognition." Zhang Qiurui's voice was full of sincerity.
........。
"Teacher, let's talk." After the movie was over and everyone left, Zhang Qiurui called Situ Zhaodun.
"Let's talk as we walk. Are you asking about the film distribution?" Situ Zhaodun asked as he walked in front.
"This is one of the things." Zhang Qiurui said following Situ Zhaodun.
During this era, film distribution was primarily conducted through a central vertical film distribution and screening network. The leadership and management status of China Film Corporation was not confirmed until August 1, 1979.
As for box office revenue, the calculation seems to be different from that of later generations. A certain percentage is turned over to the National Film Development Special Fund to support the continued development of the entire film industry. In addition, a portion will be used as profit for the exhibition units to maintain the exhibition equipment and daily operations.
The remaining part will be distributed to the producer and distributor according to a certain proportion.
"Once we get the film screening license, we can arrange the film's release. As for the specific release date, you can set the date at any time." Situ and Zhao Dun talked as they walked.
"The second thing, teacher! Can my movie be recommended to participate in the Cannes Film Festival in the name of the school?" Zhang Qiurui paused slightly and continued, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.
