Subtitle of this chapter: Who said that our Master Yuan is going to make a movie?! He is obviously...

…………………………………………………………………………

"Brush lalalala..."

Mr. Victor Fleming personally acted as a projector and showed off the films that were shot one by one. In fact, "film" is the transliteration of film.

The only two viewers, Yuan Yanshu and Griffith, were sitting in the small dark room smoking cigars and cigarettes, without saying a word from beginning to end.

"Brush la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la!"

"Neo, it's all done."

"Well, Well, Well..."

Because the doors and windows are closed and the curtains are pulled, there are only projector lights inside. Therefore, the great director and photographer cannot see the expression on Master Yuan's face clearly, and do not know whether he really appreciates or is mocking him.

"Crash!"

"Ba, bha, bha!"

Yuan Yan stood up in person, opened the curtains and opened the window, then turned around and applauded: "Good Job! Gentlemen, you did a great job!"

He is really not satirizing these two film workers. It is really good that they can make this way with the current technical conditions.

In fact, the biggest difficulty of this long shot is the three scenes from the village to the countryside, and from the countryside to the main road.

Of course, these three segments can be shot separately and then edited together during post-production. Griffith has tried this approach, but after watching it, even screenwriter Yuan Da felt that shooting separately would completely lose the shocking power in the script.

It's okay for others. But this cannot satisfy their ambitions for Master Yuan and Master Griffith who are determined to create an epic.

Of course, computers can be used to solve the flaws and mistakes in later generations, but where to find industrial-grade computers that can run 3DMAX in 1921?

But...

Just when the great director and photographer were surprised, our Master Yuan walked to the workbench, pointed to the knives and bottles, and asked curiously: "Did you just edit them with these things?"

It is naturally impossible to convert images into digital and then edit them on computers using software. It depends entirely on manual labor. Moreover, this kind of editing work is not high-end at all. The simplest thing is to use a pair of scissors and a bottle of strong glue.

"Yes, Neo. We rely on this..."

Mr. Victor was halfway through his words when he saw Yuan Yan take off his coat. He couldn't help asking, "Neo, what are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do?" Master Yuan picked up a pair of scissors and picked up another film, and said for granted, "Of course it's editing."

"Oh, don't worry about me, you should be busy..." He waved to the two of them.

"But……"

"but……"

Of course, these two people have to worry about him and immediately object. Even if these are scrap movies, they cannot be allowed to be ruined by this layman.

Seeing that they didn't listen to him and wanted to persuade him again, Yuan Yan was unhappy and threw down the things in her hands. She stood up with an unhappy look on her face and said, "There is nothing but nothing. Gentlemen, don't forget that I am the biggest investor!"

"Please go out."

"but……"

"But……"

As he said that, he pushed and shoved Griffith and Fleming out of the door.

"Gentlemen, please believe me..." Our Master Yuan stood in the house, shadows covering his face, while his black eyes flashed with strange light, and somehow the two of them could no longer say dissuasion.

Yuan Yan said seriously, "Because I am a miracle!"

"Bang!"

The big director wanted to raise his hand and knock on the door, but he raised his hand but did not fall on the door, but took out another cigarette and started smoking.

The photographer turned around and asked, "David, what should we do?"

Griffith, who was smoking in a silence, said in a silence: "Let's just wait here for a while... By the way, Victor. Go and inform them to have a rest this afternoon."

So they waited outside the door, waiting from noon until the sun was west.

"Squeak!"

The door finally opened, and Yuan Yan, who was full of energy, suddenly walked out of it.

He first yawned and stretched his waist, then looked up at the sun in the sky, then looked down at the cigarette butts on the ground, and said to the two outside the door: "David, Victor, it turns out that you have been waiting here..."

Before these two people could ask questions, our Master Yuan waved and said, "Gentlemen, come in. Please see my work results this afternoon!"

Well, in fact, he didn't do anything this afternoon, he just "thinked" about something, and he slept with plenty of time.

David Griffith and Victor Fleming looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads slightly, and followed the Chinese into this small dark room helplessly...

"SBH is the abbreviation of the post-production department of DreamWorks Films, which is actually the abbreviation of Small Black House. Perhaps it was because the post-production of early movies was carried out in the small dark room, so this strange name was given.

Now if you ask anyone who knows about the history of film, he will tell you that the first stage of film development can be divided into "before dream factory" and "after dream factory".

Before "Dreamwork", movies were all rough, crude, and even vulgar in the world's impression. After the establishment of DreamWorks, movies became the real "seventh art".

However, if you know enough about DreamWorks, the epoch-making film company, you should know that movies should actually be divided into two types: "SBH production" and "non-SBH production".

This mysterious part of the middle-level managers of DreamWorks did not know its members. The first post-production movie was "The Lonely of Famine", which caused a sensation in the entire world in 1921.

The author will not need to elaborate on the artistic achievements and historical significance of this film. What is little known is that the film fell into a dilemma due to technical reasons during the shooting process. At that time, the "little black room" appeared. This mysterious department or mysterious editors solved the post-production of the famous long shot.

Apart from their unknown identity, we don’t know what mysterious means they used, and no one can even answer it so far.

In short, this or these editorial masters with superb skills and almost gods spliced ​​dozens of short shots into long shots that no one could see. If the cast and crew hadn't known that Mr. David Griffith had not completed the shooting of this long shot, then everyone would have thought it was a real long shot.

In fact, the "magic" feature in "The Lonely of Famine" is not just the long shot at the beginning. There are many clips with superb visual effects in the whole film, which completely exceeds the film's technical level at that time.

And all this is related to that mysterious "little black room"!"
