Shooting wrapped up on the 22nd, and the 25th was New Year's Eve. Even though it was almost New Year, Qi Hao and Zhang Meng still held onto the editor Lu Yun to make him work.
Lu Yun was editing the film, but what the final cut would look like was up to Qi Hao and Zhang Meng.
The director must instill their ideas into the editor.
They must fill him up completely.
Otherwise, even a tiny mistake could ruin the film's presentation at release.
And film stock is limited; a bad edit would mean total disaster.
Although Lu Yun's editing skills were quite good, he was a newcomer who hadn't graduated long ago.
The field of editing is challenging, and getting a project is not easy.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and get to work.
Additionally, the executive director Gao Bo also knew how to edit and had a clearer understanding of Qi Hao and Zhang Meng's vision; he volunteered to join the editing work.
They spent two days deliberating until they finally settled on the final edit.
