The Great Player of Light and Shadow Chapter 805: The Deviation of Beauty

It is indeed difficult to make domestic fantasy movies, not only movies, but also fantasy TV series.

The main reason is still the incompleteness of the film industrialization system. There is still a shortage of talents in visual effects, special effects makeup, scenery setting, modeling, etc. in the country.

Although Tiangong Yicai and Biantian Animation have invested a lot of effort and energy in talent training, the industrialization of a country's film industry cannot be carried out by one company.

Tiangong Yicai and Biantian special effects charges are very reasonable, but this "fairness" is also much higher than that of their domestic counterparts, because their technology is one of the best in the country, and no matter how reasonable they are, they still have to make money.

The two companies have no shortage of orders. After Yuan Yuan cooperated with Fantawild to develop a theme amusement park, the major movies of the "Bear Infested" series were also handed over to Biantian.

The "Painted Skin" series has always been a film that shows off its muscles to the outside world.

On "Painted Skin 4", Tiangong Yicai is preparing to put on a visual show. For this purpose, it has introduced the latest ALEXAIMAX camera, which will be used with the crew's existing cameras. "Painted Skin 4" will be the first domestic film to be shot entirely in IMAX.

Movie - What Cheng Yuan failed to do in "The Wandering Earth", Guo Fan did it.

As soon as "Painted Skin 3" was released, Guo Fan started preparations for "Painted Skin 4", organized people to reconstruct the entire Liaozhai world, and reorganized the history of the fox clan where the heroine Bai Ling belongs, laying the foundation for the fourth part.

A solid foundation.

In terms of special effects, Tiangong Yicai and Biantian were responsible for most of the work. In order to meet Guo Fan's abnormal requirements for light, shadow and lines, Tiangong Yicai specially set up a studio focused on this aspect, named Light Chasing Animation.

By the way, after "Painted Skin 4" was released in Cannes, the Japanese rights were bought out by Japanese buyers at a high price of US$53 million.

Japan has always been the largest overseas ticket bank for the "Painted Skin" series, and they like the little fox very much.

And "Painted Skin 4" will also set another precedent.

"Painted Skin 4" will be released simultaneously in English versions in theaters in Europe and North America - and will be distributed by a major film company.

This is called cultural export.

Now "The Legend of Wukong" claims that it is the best domestic fantasy movie, how could fans of "Painted Skin" agree?

"The Promise single-handedly welded the door shut to domestic fantasy films. No one paid attention to domestic fantasy films in overseas markets, and everyone hated them." The two sides quarreled, so why did this also affect the director of Kaige, "Yes

"Painted Skin" rescued domestic fantasy from the quagmire. In the past 10 years, the three "Painted Skin" movies have achieved box office results of over 2.7 billion. Last year's "The Legend of the White Fox" even achieved an impressive result of 1.7 billion.

The "Painted Skin" series has always been the highest-grossing series in Chinese, and is a golden signature of Chinese fantasy. When will "The Legend of Monkey King" win 1 billion at the box office, you can try "Painted Skin"."

Fans of "The Legend of Wukong" were smart enough not to be led astray, but instead changed the battlefield, saying that the original book is the number one sacred book on the Internet and has inspired many people's youth.

But a very sad fact is that no matter how good fans say "The Legend of Wukong" is, online literature at that time was really a niche hobby.

Not to mention that time, for so-called "popular" IP adaptations in 2022, the vast majority of passers-by audiences who have never seen the original work will still be the majority.

If nothing else, how many people actually watched Guan Hanqing's "Saving Feng Chen" before "Meng Hua Lu" was broadcast?

Why is it that as soon as the drama aired, a large number of "originalists" jumped out to make irresponsible remarks.

Therefore, the fans of "The Legend of Wukong" are really no match for the fans accumulated by "Painted Skin" after 10 years of operation.

"Painted Skin" has been in business for 10 years, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has accompanied a generation.

Who doesn’t know how to play the youth card anymore?

Cheng Yu'an doesn't care about this. He has read very few online articles and has little interest in this topic.

He is now in Tangcheng, Xiangyang, and is very angry.

I didn't pay much attention to it when I came to Kanjing before, but when I came to take a look today, I discovered that the problem is very big.

"Replace the golden owl kiss for me. There was no such thing in ancient China." To put it simply, the owl kiss is the decoration on both ends of the roof. Those who don't have money will get two pointed ones, and those who have money will put two owl kisses on it.

Legend has it that the owl is good at climbing high and looking far, and likes to eat fire, so it is placed on the roof to prevent fire.

But the owl here in Xiangyang Tangcheng is golden. The owl in ancient China are made of bricks, stone, clay pottery, and colored glaze, but they are not golden.

The golden owl kiss is used only in Japan.

Cheng Yu'an accompanied Cao Jiuping to Tangcheng today. Teacher Cao saw the mistake at a glance.

The two climbed up to take another look. Cao Jiuping looked at it and shook his head: "Both of them are wrong. The owl kisses in the side hall are made of gold, and the ridges of the owl kisses in the main hall are all gold. If you take this picture, you will definitely get scolded. Who made the design in the first place?"

The accompanying staff members were so sweaty.

The crew of "Mulan" is a big client, and Cheng Yu'an is a big director, so they have to cooperate.

"Change, we'll change it right away." The staff immediately agreed, "Teacher Cao, what do you think would be a good change?"

"Change the colored glaze. We just came in through the city gate, and we have to change it over there. We were very restrained in using gold in ancient times." Cao Jiuping just pointed out their mistake in the kiss. If he really followed his request, that city

The door has to be knocked down and rebuilt.

Have you ever seen any city gate that is curved?

The gates of Xiangyang Tangcheng are curved.

So I left Dapu.

"Your lantern is not right either." Cao Jiuping looked at the lantern hanging under the eaves, "Take it off and let me take a look."

As soon as he started making lanterns, Cao Jiuping explained to Cheng Yu'an and others: "Japanese lanterns mostly use dense horizontal ribs, while our Chinese lanterns mostly use vertical or vertical ribs. Even if they use horizontal ribs, they are mostly used as the main skeleton, not like

Japanese lanterns are tied so densely like this.”

Cao Jiuping didn't know whether he was joking or serious, he smiled and said: "The Japanese designers you hired are quite good."

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here

The accompanying person in charge smiled dryly: "If you criticize more, we will correct it."

As long as it is not demolished and rebuilt, it is a trivial matter for the film and television base to replace a few lanterns and owl kisses.

"Let's do this for today. Generally speaking, it's good. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it. We can just adjust some details." You can't criticize the film and television base as nothing.

The problem of mismatched art styles has become very serious in recent years, especially in ancient puppets, but it has not attracted the attention of the industry.

Afterwards, when the two were on their way back, Cheng Yu'an pointed out: "The largest investor in "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is Japan's Kadokawa Pictures."

Cao Jiuping took a breath in the car: "I haven't worked in the past few years because I can't stand this group of investors. I give them serious advice, but few listen. They all pay attention to how fast, easy and economical they are. I never give them advice."

The crew just picked it up and used it, no matter whether it was right or not, as long as it looked good.

"But it doesn't look good. How can you understand beauty so superficially?"

Cheng Yu'an was also very touched by this: "This is nothing like the old days of filming. Everyone's hair accessories and clothes had to be designed individually. Now the bosses are eager to invest money today and start making profits tomorrow. They are not as enthusiastic as before."

Cao Jiuping said with a smile: "You have only been in the industry for more than ten years. You never caught up with us when we were filming in the 1980s and 1990s. You are so old-fashioned."
