Chapter 956 Submission for Review (12)

Zhang Niancheng was particularly devoted to "I'm Not the God of Medicine". He took hundreds of people to it through wind and rain, and spent several months. Now the story has finally turned into a video, which was condensed with sweat.

The total length of the film is more than ten hours, and now two hours need to be edited out of it. This is not a simple task, and it requires both brains and physical strength. There are five editors, plus director Zhang Niancheng himself, and six people are fully devoted to it.

After all the hard work in the past, why would he care about editing? For the next week, Zhang Niancheng stayed in the editing room all day long, communicating with the editor day and night, and editing the film together.

Because of their disagreements, he had many conflicts with the editors, which made him red-faced and thick-necked. The most intense one was when the editor gave up his job, but it was Zhang Tan who intervened and persuaded them to come back.

Zhang Niancheng apologized afterwards. During the quarrel, he said inappropriate words, which indeed hurt people's self-esteem.

This was the first time that Zhang Tan encountered a director who scolded the editor. In the past, movies and TV series were mostly noisy and noisy, but in the end they expressed unanimous opinions. Only this time Zhang Niancheng was full of fire, which also shows how much pressure he has.

Finally, after a while, the film was cut out. The length was controlled at 120 minutes, no more than one minute, no less than one minute. Zhang Niancheng said that he cut every second, and he felt distressed and troubled every time he cut out a second. No.

Zhang Tan and producer Zhao Silu watched the entire film for the first time. Compared with the last version, it was much smoother and more refined, with more laughs. It made people cry when they laughed.

Zhang Tan and Zhao Silu were very satisfied and had no suggestions for revision. They felt that this version could be submitted for review.

The process of submitting the film for review was not smooth. Zhang Tan learned the news immediately. The film had not passed review. Many areas were marked with red lines and required to be deleted. In some places, entire plots had to be deleted.

Pujiang Film Studio took action. They found people to find connections and got a chance to communicate face-to-face with the members of the film review committee. As long as they could be persuaded, they could change their minds.

After much deliberation, it was Zhang Tan and Zhang Niancheng who finally went to Peking to participate in the meeting. It was just the two of them. There was no use in having more people, and it was not necessary to have more people in a quarrel.

As far as this movie is concerned, no one is more familiar than Zhang Tan and Zhang Niancheng, and if they can't convince each other, it's useless to go to anyone else.

The two of them took a flight to Peiping one day in advance, chose a hotel very close to the radio and television, checked in, and rested for a while. Zhang Tan went to the next door and knocked on the door, calling Zhang Niancheng to go out and meet someone.

"Who?" Zhang Niancheng asked.

He didn't know in advance that there were plans to meet today.

Zhang Tan also contacted the other party just now and said, "It's a director of Radio and Television. Let's talk about tomorrow's meeting."

Zhang Niancheng cheered up. He didn't expect Zhang Tan to have such a connection. He found the other party's person. He immediately thought that Zhang Tan was related to the Pujiang City Propaganda Department. "In the Name of the People" was the evidence.

The two of them arrived at the appointed teahouse, and soon a young man appeared. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes. He had short hair and was in good spirits. He was a man from the radio and television industry. The director, surnamed Sun, was contacted by Qin Huifang.

When Director Sun met, he shook hands with Zhang Tan enthusiastically, asked about Qin Huifang's physical condition, and asked about the relationship between Zhang Tan and Qin Huifang in a roundabout way.

He told Zhang Tan some precautions and some details of the last time he reviewed the film. For example, some local committee members had different opinions and could be fought over. In some places, everyone was more consistent. It is estimated that it will be difficult to change everyone's opinions.

While Zhang Tan was talking to Director Sun, Zhang Niancheng was taking notes with a pen and paper. He returned to the hotel and immediately threw himself into the film review process, discussing with Zhang Tan what to say in tomorrow's meeting.

The next day, Zhang Tan and Zhang Niancheng came to the Radio and Television and met 9 committee members. There are 15 members on the entire film review committee, but only 9 were able to come today. After all, many of them are not based in Peiping, so it is quite troublesome to go back and forth. This is only possible due to the trust relationship between Pujiang Film Studio.

Zhang Niancheng gave the lecture, and Zhang Tan assisted. When he spoke, the committee members listened attentively and nodded from time to time, which made them think that the effect was good. However, when the committee members expressed their opinions after the speech, they found that it was not the case. Some places agreed to remain unchanged, but most of the places still had to be deleted. reduce.

Zhang Niancheng argued with the other party, but the person on the other side still insisted on his opinion, which made him feel frustrated.

At this time, Zhang Tan said: "I have listened for a while, and I will tell you my opinions. Please correct me if I am wrong. You are all my seniors, and your understanding of movies is much deeper than mine. You are also familiar with our movies." I also know the current situation in more detail than I do. In the past thirty years, Chinese films have made rapid progress, and the film market has become the largest market in the world, surpassing North America. This shows that the material and cultural needs of our people are rapidly increasing. It is not only used for entertainment, but also to criticize current ills and bring positive social influence. ”

"This "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is not a fictional story. It happened in real life. It happened in Pujiang. However, the ending is different from the ending in the movie. He did not go to jail. He won the lawsuit. This is legal. Victory is a victory for humanity. I made this story into a movie not only because the story is touching, but also because it reflects the loopholes in our society and system. In a healthy civilized society, there is such a vulnerable group. , they cannot afford life-saving medicine, they can only wait to die..."

Zhang Tan spoke eloquently for nearly half an hour. During this half hour, the other nine judges rarely interrupted him and listened carefully to him one by one until he finished speaking.

…

He and Zhang Niancheng left the conference room, went to the bathroom, and came to the smoking room to smoke. Zhang Niancheng handed Zhang Tan a cigarette, but Zhang Tan didn't take it. He didn't smoke.

"I didn't expect you to be so eloquent, so eloquent, and so emotional. I was moved by what you said." Zhang Niancheng said sincerely.

Since he met Zhang Tan, Zhang Tan has never said as much as he did today.

Zhang Tan: "Do your best and leave it to fate. Now wait for their results."

Zhang Niancheng nodded. Just after Zhang Tan finished speaking, the committee members on the opposite side said they wanted to discuss behind closed doors and asked them to wait outside.

After smoking a cigarette, the two went to the corridor outside the conference room to wait. The door of the conference room was still closed, and Director Sun came out and stood by the railing, as if waiting for them.

Seeing them appear, Director Sun said that the discussion inside was very intense.

When Zhang Tan heard this, his hope grew a little bit. The intense discussion showed that someone's attitude had changed, which was a good thing.

After more than ten minutes, the door of the conference room finally opened, and a committee member came out to call them in, saying that they still needed to talk.

I owe another chapter, I will make up for it in the weekend!!!
