杀青

    shāqīng

    Meaning: "杀" means to "kill," and "青" is the color "green." This term literally means "degreening," a process to treat fresh tea leaves. The term was also used to depict a method some 2,000 years ago of baking bamboo slips in preparation for them to be written on. Today, however, it is often used to describe wrapping up a film shoot or clinching a project in the general sense.

    Example

    A: 你喜欢的男神又有新片杀青。

    Nǐ xǐhuān de nánshén yòu yǒu xīnpiān shāqīng。

    Your idol just had a new movie shot.

    B: 你是说吴亦凡吗？

    Nǐ shì shuō wúyìfán ma?

    Do you mean Chris Wu?

    A: 是啊，不过后期制作可能还要几个月，因为档期排在明年夏天。

    Shì a, bùguò hòuqī zhìzuò kěnéng hái yào jǐgè yuè, yīnwèi dàngqī pái zài míngnián xiàtiān。

    Sure. But the post production may take a few months, and the film is set to be released next summer.
