As with every previous film by Wang Wei, the editing of the film is done by Wang Wei from front to back, and "Terminator" is no exception. After the wrap-up party, Wang Wei barely rested and devoted himself to the editing of "Terminator". There were three people in the editing team of "Terminator". But there were only two people mainly involved in the editing work.
One of these two people is Wang Wei, and the other is the surgeon Zhao Ruju who has worked with Wang Wei several times. The person responsible for doing chores for the two of them was the assistant director of The Terminator, James Cameron.
It was Wang Wei¡¯s idea to let Cameron participate. Wang Wei wanted to be familiar with the lens language again before Cameron personally directed the movie. This would help Cameron have a deeper grasp of the scenes when filming.
Similar to Wang Wei¡¯s usual work style, once he gets into work, Wang Wei is almost in a state of madness throughout the whole process until he completes the work. Feel close to yourself and the people you work with.
It took about three weeks in total before and after editing. However, the actual editing only took a little over a week. The remaining two weeks were spent entirely on post-processing.
In the editing room. The dumb film of Terminator that had just been post-processed was shown on the big screen. Under the screen, there was a row of spectators sitting. But these are not ordinary audiences, any one of them can be considered a big name in Hollywood.
Wang Wei stared closely at the Terminator being shown on the screen without saying a word. The Terminator is gradually coming to an end. Compared with the later Terminator in 1984, it is not bad. Whether it is the fighting scenes or the beauty and flexibility of the robots, it is more perfect than Parallel Space.
But what does Wang Wei think is the shortcoming? what is it?
Wang Wei frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. At this moment, Spielberg, who was invited by Wang Wei to watch the movie, suddenly turned around, grabbed Wang Wei's shoulder and said, "Mike, what do you want me to say to you?" That's great. What's your brain like? Every movie is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Mike, I believe that if it is paired with music, The Terminator will be another movie that shocks movie fans around the world."
Spielberg¡¯s words made Wang Wei¡¯s mind suddenly move. Yes, this is a mute film, and there is no dubbing yet, so I just kept saying that something felt weird. It seemed like I was really exhausted.
As soon as Spielberg finished speaking, Lucas nodded and said: "Mike, you are a genius. An angel sent to the world by God in order to let mankind better understand the art of film."
Although Wang Wei previously deprived Lucas of the glory of being the father of Star Wars. But it also gave Lucas the glory of being the father of Rocky and the Oscar for Best Director.
Among them, Lucas did not know about the former, but Wang Wei personally ordered Lucas to direct the latter as the producer of Rocky. Therefore, for the honor of being the father of Rocky and the Oscar for Best Director, Lucas always believed that he could achieve such results because of Wang Wei's help.
Lucas had just finished speaking. Francisco, who was sitting next to Lucas, grabbed a handful of his beard and said, "Lucas is right. In order to show the birth of another film that makes the world crazy, I propose to invite a few good friends to go to my wine bar." Let¡¯s taste the red wine from my collection.¡±
With that said, Francis did not forget to remind Wang Wei: "Oh, by the way, Mike, speaking of red wine. What I want to tell you is that the winery we invested in has had a bumper harvest this year. You will definitely feel sorry for your previous investment. Luckily."
In response to Francis' showoff, Wang Wei smiled and spread his hands and said: "Coppola, you know, I have no idea about money. What I care about is whether I can smoke good Cuban cigars."
Wang Wei's words immediately aroused a lot of resonance. Spielberg on the side immediately echoed loudly: "Yes, I also miss the taste of Cuban cigars. But we don't have as much energy as Coppola. Get the best cigars without even realizing it.¡±
Spielberg¡¯s words made Coppola instantly raise his head with pride: ¡°It¡¯s a little trivial, if you want to do it, you can do it.¡±
When a few people were talking, Cameron on the other side couldn't get in the middle. After all, Cameron at this time was not as world-famous as he would be in later generations. Now Cameron is just an assistant director who has just emerged.
Seeing that Cameron wanted to speak but couldn't, Wang Wei suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Cameron over and said to Coppola: "Francis, you know. There is another biggest killer in the Terminator. The creditor is the very talented assistant director next to me. But our assistant director was worried that you didn¡¯t have enough cigars and red wine, so he stayed aside and said nothing.¡±
Wang Wei¡¯s words immediately aroused Francis¡¯s concern for Cameroon.?'s attention. Coppola knew about Wang Wei's talent, and Wang Wei didn't usually praise others. If he did, it was definitely for his own good. So after Coppola stared at Cameron twice, he laughed and said: " My red wine box and cigars only cater to talented people, and I believe Cameron is a talented young man, so if Cameron comes, I will have more red wine and cigars, not less.¡±
After Spielberg and Lucas, who had worked with Cameron, saw clearly that it was Cameron, they also said: "I have worked with James, and he is definitely a director with great potential. I believe that with It won¡¯t be long before Hollywood will have another top director who will cheer fans and dazzle critics.¡±
The compliments from several people made James, who is believed to be white, blush instantly. Seeing James blushing, Wang Wei gently patted James' shoulder to express comfort.
After a short period of excitement, James also understood that Wang Wei was trying to support him, so he kept reminding himself that he must not embarrass Wang Wei. Under this inner suggestion, James's originally red face turned red. It returned to its original appearance in a short time.
After James calmed down, he greeted Francis and others one by one, as if they knew each other.
Afterwards, several people chatted about some minor changes to the Terminator lens before leaving one by one.
And because the editing work of the film has been completed, James and Zhao Ruju¡¯s work is also finished, so they left together with Lucas and others.
But Wang Wei stayed in the editing room and finished writing all the tracks of the Terminator soundtrack based on the memories in his mind, and then dragged his exhausted body back to his villa.
As a result, I slept for one day and two nights, and it was not until the morning of the third day that I finally woke up.
Not long after Wang Wei woke up, Reagan took a person to the Wang family villa and said he wanted to discuss the Olympics with Wang Wei.
