Chapter 326 'Sculpture of the Gods' Starts Broadcasting
Chapter 326 "The Condor" starts broadcasting
Upon hearing Chu Xuan's words, Teacher Yang from the props team immediately called the crew members who were setting up the scene, took out a pen from the breast pocket of his jacket, and wrote and drew on the composition paper to rearrange the placement of the props.
.
Liu Yi looked at the people who stopped, and then turned his head to look at Liu Yifei. His admiring eyes were undisguised, and he was very excited.
This was also his first time writing a science fiction script. With his experience, he could control the underlying logic of the plot, but the three-dimensional space imagination involved in science fiction was indeed ignored by him.
According to the usual scene construction experience, the wall is the wall and the ground is the ground. This is normal. Years of habituation have caused his inherent thinking to affect his divergence of ideas.
After Liu Yifei's reminder, he came to his senses and felt extremely excited.
In his opinion, this is not a small correction, but an explosion of novelty elements.
As we all know, whether it is a movie or a TV series, as the plot progresses, there must be an explosive climax.
This climax can be the climax of character growth, the climax of the plot, the climax of the shocking environment brought by the big scene, or it can also be the climax of imagination combined with the unknown and novel elements of the plot.
Liu Yifei’s correction belongs to the last type.
He could imagine that when the audience discovered that the ground the male and female protagonists played by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were walking on was actually a wall, and there was a door leading to the underground on the wall, and with the help of the camera, the level of space was changed from the wall to the ground.
From the front to the reverse of the character, the 3D feeling of space distortion is really shocking.
And this shocking scene, which has never been seen at home or abroad, was written by him.
As a screenwriter, this makes me excited just thinking about it.
"I'm going to change the script, you guys are busy." Liu Yi turned around hurriedly, looking very anxious.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at Liu Yi's back walking non-stop towards the door, and then understood Liu Yi's desire to pursue further progress in screenwriting, and all raised their lips slightly.
"Brother Liu, are you troublesome?" Chu Xuan said to his back.
Liu Yi did not look back, waved his hand and said: "No trouble, the underlying logic of the story remains unchanged, the story structure will be modified by one or two links, just adjust one of your plots with the sense of space, I can handle it before the scene is set up.
."
Hearing what he said, it would not waste a lot of time. Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan also felt relieved. She turned back and said: "The original story will be more exciting."
"Absolutely." Wen Muye nodded. As a director, he naturally hopes that the shots he shoots will impress people, but the shots must also combine the established presentation effects of the plot and the imagination of the space. In this regard, he created the scene of the senior sister.
Big thumbs up for the correction.
Chu Xuan also didn't expect that Liu Yifei would give her a big surprise after walking around the scene. He couldn't help but tighten his arms around Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei felt the force on her shoulders getting slightly heavier, which reflected Chu Xuan's stronger love for her. She reached out and smoothed her hair to express her happiness.
"What do you think about the shooting plan?" Chu Xuan glanced at Wen Muye.
Hearing this, Wen Muye said: "First shoot the four minutes of CG shots before and after, and then take the lead in filming your scenes, senior brother and senior sister."
Liu Yifei took a look at the scene and said: "These scenes are not needed for group performances. The scenes with CG shots are all special effects. Then we can shoot the four minutes of CG shots in front of the green cloth without waiting for the scene to be set up.
Don’t delay either way.”
Wen Muye looked at Liu Yifei, nodded and said: "The camera crew is still celebrating the New Year, and Teacher Wang's team is also on the Spring Festival holiday. Brother Liu and I will start auditioning for extras at the film and television base tomorrow. While recruiting extras, we are also waiting for the camera.
The designers and special effects personnel are here, and filming will start when everything is ready."
Liu Yifei nodded.
Chu Xuan put down his hand on Liu Yifei's shoulder, crossed his arms, and said to Wang Bowen: "Teacher Wang, can the special effects side make up for it?"
Wang Bowen tilted his head, looked at Chu Xuan, and said: "Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, which is also February 1st. According to the director's plan, the four-minute CG scene will be shot and edited within this month. Edit it well."
Then it was handed over to us for post-processing. In March, we made original paintings, modeled, and applied special effects based on the edited shots. The three months of April, May, and June were used for high-definition rendering."
He paused and said, "Mr. Chu and Producer Liu are due to submit their graduation works at the end of June, so they can make it in time."
Hearing his words, Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows. Holding her right arm with her left hand, she half-twisted and asked Wang Bowen: "Didn't Teacher Zeng say that special effects rendering takes four months?"
Wang Bowen looked at her and said: "Teacher Zeng made the estimate based on the highest standards at the time, but the CG images cannot be of high standards throughout. Some unimportant elements and distant scenes can be blurred without affecting the quality of the image, which can save money."
A lot of time.”
Liu Yifei nodded and understood.
"Let's go back and read the script." Chu Xuan took Liu Yifei's hand and pulled it.
At present, the scene has not been completed, the crew has not arrived, and the recruitment of extras has not begun. The basic situation has been understood. It is better to go back and read more scripts if we stay here any longer.
Although the script is still changing, the basic character settings such as character logic and relationships remain unchanged.
Even though they are just making a micro-movie, the entire main plot of the micro-movie is shot by the two of them for 26 minutes, which is no less than the length of the male and female protagonists in a normal movie.
Here, it is necessary to think and prepare more in advance.
Liu Xiaoli had already arranged for the hotel suite. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei immediately picked up the script and studied it after they came back.
Since the filming of "The Condor" was completed at the end of July last year, more than half a year later, the two of them have entered the state of being actors that they have not seen for a long time.
On the next day, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Muye recruited Liu Yi and Wang Bowen to temporarily rent a small office room at the film and television base and began auditioning for extras.
Auditioning for extras should originally be a matter for the actor-director, not Fumino, the executive director.
But Wen Muye has never had this kind of opportunity to handle all the affairs of the crew, and Wen Muye is not only their junior brother, but also a member of their company, and may also be one of their friends who will follow them into the future.
Wen Muye wanted to experience it, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also gave their full support.
However, the audition did not go well.
For the first two minutes of a doomsday disaster movie scene, how can the ensemble perform modern horror, tragedy, desolation, etc. This is a problem.
The main reason is that there are so many costume dramas in China that some of the extras have become accustomed to the routines of costume dramas.
But the end of the world is a modern scene. How can modern people be so frightened that they don’t feel embarrassed, so tragic that they don’t pick their feet, and so desolate that they don’t pull their hair out? It seems a bit difficult.
For several days in a row, Fumino was able to recruit single-digit extras who were in line with the interpretation style of the science fiction genre film "Hope".
After all, it was his first time to be the executive director of a micro-film with an investment of more than 10 million yuan. Wen Muye was not discouraged, but he always treated it with great interest.
Fumino is recruiting extras, and by the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the camera crew and special effects crew will have taken their leave and are in place.
By the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the on-site assistant director Kong Sheng and the supervisor Mr. Li Xue were also in place.
"Happy New Year to you two teachers." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei greeted them in the hotel corridor and gave them a warm welcome.
"Mr. Chu, Producer Liu, happy New Year." Kong Sheng and Teacher Li Xue greeted each other and shook hands respectively.
The presence of these two teachers has undoubtedly raised the level of the cast and crew to a higher level. Whether they are involved in script modifications or group acting auditions, the efficiency has also been improved.
For the next period of time, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were studying the script and pondering the characters. At the same time, they also controlled the general direction of the entire crew's operation. They also communicated with "Zhu Xian" on the phone from time to time to understand the situation.
Just like that, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, everyone gathered together for a small celebration. As the filming of "Hope" was about to start, the broadcast of "The Condor" also arrived as scheduled.
…
…
February 13th, the second day of the Lantern Festival, was an ordinary day, sandwiched between the Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day, which seemed a bit awkward.
But for many viewers, this originally embarrassing day is actually something they are looking forward to.
[Brothers and sisters, it’s 7:30 pm! 7:30 pm! CCTV’s eighth series of “The Condor” starts airing! 】
【I’m at home, I’ll watch on time when I get there!】
[I'm a little speechless. I don't know what the university thinks about the holiday collection system. Yesterday I didn't let you celebrate the Lantern Festival. I can't go to school for two days if I start class today? 】
[What’s the point? Don’t you have a food court in your university? Just find a fast food restaurant, and as long as the owner knows how to do business, he will adjust the station to the central eight. 】
[Upstairs, you have awakened me to watching the drama "Dragon" back then. I used to go to fast food restaurants to watch it every day in college. Now that I have graduated, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have really become a couple, so fast. 】
[It's okay if you don't tell me. When I was in college, I watched "Dragon" with a buddy of mine. My buddy even learned how to play with a fan from Murong, played by Chu Xuan. He said he was looking for a girl, but he actually chased a girl. This is...
Outrageous.]
[They are all memories, and so is "Sword of Immortality". I hope "The Condor" will surprise me again. 】
"The Condor" hasn't even started airing yet, but the discussion on the Internet is already abuzz during this Chinese New Year period.
Some actors watch N TV series a year and have no time to ponder the characters and scripts, resulting in mostly facial expressions that make the audience uninterested.
Compared with this type of actors, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have only been in the industry for three or four years and have not produced many works, but each of their works can be said to be a classic.
Based on this situation, the audience also knew that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei seemed to choose the scripts, and they would not act in ordinary film and television dramas.
Therefore, although the audience has great expectations for the works of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, their expectations are also very high.
Audiences still remember the classic scenes performed by the two of them in the past. If "The Condor" is not as exciting as the two's previous works, perhaps the audience will be disappointed.
But thinking about it on the other hand, since Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei chose the script and chose to play "The Condor", it must mean that Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Condor" is different.
With this analysis, coupled with the ever-present sense of participation brought about by voter elections, the audience's expectations for "The Condor" have become even more eager as of today's premiere.
The heated discussion across the country has reached a high point today.
Of course, such popularity is also due to the intensifying online and offline advance publicity.
On the Internet, one of the hot searches ["The Popular Election's "The Condor" is about to premiere!]" has been dominating the list for several days.
The topic of this hot search only expresses one meaning: the drama with the male and female protagonists selected by you, the audience, is about to be aired. Come and see what your own opinions are!
The meaning expressed by this hot search is very strange. At least it reminded the audience who had participated in and paid attention to the national election. Some people who had forgotten it also had their memories awakened: I also participated, and I too
I voted for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, this "The Condor" is a must watch!
With this kind of momentum, the news that "The Condor" is about to be aired has been in the limelight for a while.
As a broadcaster, CCTV is naturally happy to see this situation happen, and at the same time it has also increased its promotional efforts in the trailer.
CCTV is very smart and plays different trailers every day.
But the same thing is that the trailers played every day are scenes of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Moreover, the scenes of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei that were played were all scenes of people spreading dog food.
Either Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are hugging each other and practicing martial arts, or Liu Yifei is playing the piano and Chu Xuan is listening; either Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are looking at each other affectionately, or Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are having candles in the bridal chamber of an ancient tomb.
Just tell the audience: Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Condor" is a sweet drama!
[Today’s trailer is out! Have you seen it? Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are kissing under the tree! Ahhh! I’m crazy! 】
【I watched it, it’s so sweet! It knocked me to death!】
[Is this the first drama between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to have a kiss scene? 】
[If kissing on the face can be considered a kissing scene, "Sword and Fairy" also has it.]
[Before "The Condor", Zhang Jizhong said that he wanted to strengthen the love line between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu. After watching the trailers these days, Zhang Jizhong was not telling lies.]
[Really? As a high school student, I said that I had never seen the old version of "The Condor". I only knew that Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu ended up sleeping together and flying together, so I ate this to express my anticipation. 】
[I hope I won’t act like a monster like in "Sword and Fairy". At that time, I wanted to smash the remote control. If you want it to be sweet, just keep it sweet to the end. If it’s not sweet, don’t be together. The most annoying thing is the constant pulling. 】
[Upstairs, there’s one thing you probably don’t know. The more you push, the more we the audience will chase it to the end with an uneasy heart.]
[Upstairs, you are right, but there is a prerequisite. The actor must perform well. If he does not perform well, he will drag you down, so just change the channel. 】
[Brothers and sisters, it’s seven o’clock! No more chatting, I’m going to adjust the channel. 】
At this point in the online discussion, it seems that many netizens have tacitly stopped typing on the keyboard, and the discussion has gradually subsided, while more and more people are in front of the TV in countless homes across the country.
At the same time, Beijing, CCTV, and data center offices.
The deputy director, the TV drama director of CCTV's eight channels, the film purchasing director and other leaders were sitting on the chairs, chatting and waiting.
"One million episodes cost 41 million. I hope there will be a big surprise." said the deputy director.
"I won't mention the surprises, but it's easy to make money back. I've seen the popularity during this period, and the ratings can't be low." said the director of the TV series.
The deputy director and film purchasing director nodded. Whether it was the public participation in the popular election of "The Condor" or the current popularity, judging from their experience, the ratings of "The Condor" will definitely not be low.
"There are five minutes left," a technician reminded.
The three leaders looked at each other, then turned back to continue the exchange.
"Last year's "Beijing Yanyun" had a ratings of 12 points, and I don't know if "The Condor" can reach a new high." The deputy director expressed his expectations for "The Condor".
"The initial ratings of "Beijing Smoke and Clouds" were not too high. It was due to the quality of the script and Zhao Wei's influence," said the director of the TV series.
"The director said that the popularity of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei is not much worse than that of Zhao Wei in China, especially among young people, they are even higher than Zhao Wei," said the film purchasing director.
"There is no doubt about the director's vision, otherwise he wouldn't buy "The Condor" with 1 million episodes. The script of "The Condor" is not amazing, but the quality is up to standard, and the plot of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei is carried out from beginning to end.
The director is focusing on Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei," the deputy director said.
"Yes." The director of the TV series nodded: "The main plot of Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Condor" was originally completely focused on Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, unlike the old version which had many branch lines. Based on this situation, "The Divine Condor"
If "Diao" can be a hit, then the popularity of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will be at the top in the domestic TV circle."
"Once this happens, you will have to enter the film industry." said the film purchasing director.
"Whether we enter the film industry or not is none of our business, just watch "The Condor"." said the deputy director.
The TV drama director and film purchasing director nodded.
"One minute, enter the pre-film advertising stage." said the technician.
The three leaders paused their communication and waited for the passage of one minute.
A minute later, the deputy director asked: "What is the ratings for the pre-film commercial?"
The technician looked at the data in the computer, looked shocked, and then turned back: "13 points."
The three leaders were stunned, "What?!"
The ratings of 13 points during the pre-film advertising period? The ratings during the advertising period can break the record? What does this mean?
They looked at each other with happy expressions on their faces.
