Chapter 138

"Me?"

"Still a notch behind."

The director shook his head.

Just then.

'Ding ding!'

His phone rang.

It was from the company.

"Oh my god! Director, look quickly!"

"The 'Justice League Fan-Edit' that just came out in China!"

"It's too explosive!"

A Chinese Justice League fan-edit?

What?

Weren't there only two versions?

One was the theatrical release, and the other was his director's cut.

When did a Chinese version come out?

"Anthony, did the raw footage of Justice League leak out?"

The director asked his employee in a message, feeling puzzled.

"No!"

"Director, believe me! After you watch it, you will definitely be amazed!"

Almost instantly, the reply came back.

Amazed?

Impossible!

If the raw footage didn't leak, then it must have been edited based on his director's cut.

Since that's the case, what's there to be amazed about?

The student surpasses the master, but it's hard to surpass the master.

This was a Chinese proverb.

"What's wrong?"

Nolan looked at him curiously. "363"

"My employee told me that they edited a new version of Justice League in China, saying I'd definitely be amazed after watching it."

"What a joke!"

The director shook his head with a bitter smile.

These employees were really something, making a fuss all day long.

They had no backbone at all!

"Why don't we take a look."

"Maybe there are some bright spots in it, and we can learn something."

Nolan smiled.

"Nolan, no wonder your achievements are higher than mine."

"Just this willingness to learn is something I can't compare to."

The director said helplessly.

However, he also decided to take a look.

To make his employees so shocked, there must be quite a few excellent points there.

Just as Nolan said, the advantages could still be learned from.

Soon, the two of them projected the video onto the big screen in the living room.

The movie started.

The first part that appeared was Batman fighting mortals.

"Why did they cut out the opening scene I had!"

"Reckless!"

The director frowned.

In the opening, there was a shot of a passerby interviewing Superman with a mobile phone.

It seemed casual, but it was something he had carefully arranged.

It was the theme of the whole film!

It seemed like it had bias from the very beginning.

"Here, they cut this out too, completely losing the core of the superheroes!"

"And here, this shouldn't be! The order was swapped, doesn't that reduce their introduction?"

"Oh my god! This part is gone too, that was supposed to show Wonder Woman's heroic spirit, as well as the Flash's cowardice and growth."

"He edited so much, yet he didn't cut this part out. To be honest, this part doesn't have much meaning!"

After watching the movie, the director didn't stop complaining.

This wasn't good.

That wasn't good.

Nothing was good.

But Nolan, who was next to him, watched the whole film very seriously, and the more he watched, the brighter his eyes became.

"So, do you think this fan-edit is better, or the theatrical release?"

He asked leisurely.

"This one!"

The director didn't hesitate at all.

"Hmm?"

"Didn't you say there were many flaws?"

Nolan looked confused.

You were the one complaining the most.

And you were the one saying it was good.

What exactly do you want?

The director didn't speak.

"Then how does it compare to your director's cut?"

Nolan asked again.

"To use a Chinese saying, each has its own merits."

The director said again.

Nolan was stunned, looking at the director, he said in a deep voice: "You are very different today!"

He, who was always arrogant, would actually say such things.

This was not normal!

"Do you know why I complained so much?"

The director said calmly.

"Why?"

"To hide my shock."

The director said it with such justification.

Nolan was shocked.

What did that mean?

The director ignored him, walked to the balcony, and took out his phone.

Soon, someone on the other end picked up.

"Hey, help me find the source of this video, I want to meet that person."

After saying that, he looked at the sky and let out a soft breath.

"So concerned?"

Nolan hurried to his side.

He had never seen his friend act so impulsively.

Without a word, he was ready to rush to China!

"Shouldn't I be?"

"This film is edited extremely well! It keeps all the essence in the movie, and the story narration doesn't drag at all. The display of the characters' personalities wasn't affected by the time limit, and even after editing, they became much more vivid..."

"The most critical thing is..."

The director took a deep breath and said: "He edited this based on my cut. If I gave him the raw footage, I'm afraid the final effect would be even better!"

Yes!

He was truly shocked when he watched it earlier!

Seamless editing, smooth-flowing visuals, and natural transitions!

Even for him, it would be difficult to edit such an effect.

Not to mention, it was a second creation based on an existing cut.

The difficulty was much higher!

"You were complaining the whole time, I thought you didn't see it clearly!"

"Zack! The person who edited this video is a talent!"

After Nolan laughed for a while, his expression turned serious.

The director could see it.

How could he not see it?

To have such editing skills, even in the entire Hollywood, you probably couldn't count them on two hands!

And that would have to be those people at their peak.

"So I want to go to China to see him."

"If there's a chance to talk about a collaboration, maybe I can finally take off this Justice League burden!"

The director said slowly.

Justice League, as everyone knows, was a disaster due to editing.

But 4. most people wouldn't care about that.

Once they saw it was directed by Zack Snyder.

Oh, this director made a bad movie, disappointed.

Now, a powerful editing talent was placed before him, how could he not fight for it.

"Since I'm free recently, I'll go with you."

Nolan smiled lightly.

"Why?"

"You have ideas too?"

The director looked at him unkindly.

"Let's see what that person thinks."

"Regardless, my right to choose scripts and capital is much higher than yours."

"Such an editing talent, if invited by you, wouldn't it be a waste!"

Nolan continued to smile.

"You..."

The director was speechless, unable to refute!
