Mid-November is not a good time to go online. Just like the movie schedule, online dramas usually choose a time when there are more holidays. After all, office workers and the majority of students are the main force of online platforms.
However, [Genting Tiangong] obviously broke this routine. It could have waited for another two months to go online during New Year's Day, but Han Fei was too lazy to wait for another two months, so he arbitrarily set the date for mid-November.
Of course, Han Fei has the qualifications to be willful. When the release date of "Genting Palace" was announced, all the dramas on the network that could be skipped were skipped, and only some unnoticed ones were left as cannon fodder.
Being willful, the launch time of [Yunding Tiangong] is still on Friday night, it is still 8 o'clock, Penguin Video, and Kiwi Video push it on the homepage, which is considered to be full of cards.
Compared with the audience who are purely watching, the main creative staff of major film and television companies are sitting in the conference room with laptops, waiting for the arrival of eight o'clock.
The refresh screen kept flashing. The two major video platforms encountered a large wave of traffic at 7:59. In order not to affect the user experience, they could only urgently open two server channels.
"Okay, it's finally here." Amid the cheers of various audiences and the familiar opening animation of an eagle striking the sky, [Genting Tiangong] finally unveiled its mysterious veil.
The main creators of major film and television companies were also shocked, and started to open their notebooks with the attitude of preparing for exams in school. As for recording their shortcomings or recording inspirations, it depends on whether this "Genting Palace" is as expected.
The beginning of the picture is a fast-forward shot, which is an introduction to how Wu Xie embarked on the path to find the Genting Heavenly Palace. In fact, if the shooting techniques of ordinary film and television dramas were followed, it could be fully extended to the length of four episodes.
However, Han Fei is not in the habit of making short series. There are too many good scenes. There are only twelve episodes in total, and there is no room for plots that can be solved with just a few scenes.
As soon as the scene changed, Wu Xie, Chen Pi'asi and his entourage appeared in the snowy mountains. The shooting location of the snowy mountains was actually in Fengning County. The mountains there were not actually high. The lens was shot from above. As for the rest of the mountains,
The scenery relies on computer special effects.
"Is this the effect of real scenes and special effects? It's so shocking." A film and television company chief executive exclaimed.
It is indeed shocking. Generally speaking, the crew will have two options when shooting snow scenes. One is to shoot directly at a relatively high altitude. This is very expensive, and the crew members will also face risks such as hypoxia and frostbite.
The other is to use artificial snow, but the snowmaking machine has a limitation, and that is the temperature. In the summer, the snowmaking machine cannot be used, so it can only be replaced by chemical fertilizers. It is often tens of degrees high in the summer, and after the chemical fertilizers evaporate, the
The smell is simply terrible, and it is often so irritating that the actors can't even open their eyes.
Han Fei's use of real scenes and special effects shots gives people the feeling of being in Changbai Mountain, and even the shadows of people standing on the ice are particularly real.
"This guy doesn't seem to be bragging." After just the first episode, most colleagues saw Han Fei's ambition from some details.
But this is just the beginning. In the second episode, after entering the underground palace, they were even more stunned by the scene in front of them. Even if it was just a glimpse under the dim light, the real outline of the huge underground palace still makes people unable to help but marvel:
This guy is really willing to spend a lot of money.
The special effects of exploding the Black Turtle Magnet are even more jaw-dropping. Pieces of gravel break apart like molecules. The explosion of fire and the roaring sound make people feel like they are in an abyss.
"Well, the special effects should use 3D technology, right?" Someone knowledgeable exclaimed.
That's right, this black turtle statue used 3D modeling when it was built. Later special effects decomposed these models by calculating the blasting power of explosives to form a similar three-dimensional effect. This can be regarded as one of Han Fei's
This attempt, of course, comes at the cost of burning money. This shot of less than ten seconds alone cost millions.
Then the appearance of "Wall Strings" made people even more numb. Black centipede-like multipod insects crawled all over the palace. Especially with the blessing of lights and sound effects, the timid ones would get goosebumps.
.
At this point, the second episode has been broadcast. If you want to continue watching, you must have a membership.
The audience is not as careful as the people in the film and television company. They can't see so many tricks. In short: Damn it, that's it. When the membership recharge interface popped up, many viewers cursed and recharged their membership.
, clicked on the third episode, and abandoning the show really became the choice of a few people.
At 0:00 in the morning, the two platforms started to collect data. At first, both platforms thought that there was a problem with the backend. However, after checking, they found that everything was normal and all the data was real.
Zhang Liang sighed with joy and regret. He was naturally happy that the single episode of "Genting Palace" had more than 150 million views, setting a record high. Unfortunately, this record is unlikely to be broken for a long time.
Liu Bin's mentality was even more explosive. Such a good drama was stopped right away!
Huang Hexiang was also watching "Genting Palace". Several failures forced him to start to face the gap between the two sides. The first two episodes were actually not bad. Huang Hexiang asked himself that as long as he was willing to spend money, he could achieve the same effect.
But at the end of the fourth episode, everyone appeared in the volcanic cave. The densely packed and flickering volcano centipede special effects scene in the cave left Huang Hexiang completely speechless.
The immersive feeling can make viewers with trypophobia tingle all over, especially in a dim cave. When the flashlight is turned off, it seems that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you in the darkness.
"Damn it, it's the evil advance on-demand broadcast again, bastard!" The audience was furious. However, it feels so uncomfortable to be stuck here. Go to sleep? I can't sleep at all. Will Wu Xie and the others step on these volcanic centipedes? Will they?
Is there any danger? There is also a human-faced bird on the giant bronze door, and the monkey in its mouth has not come out.
"You guys are ruthless, labor and management are charging money, just charging money!" At this moment, charging money has become an eternal topic.
Xiao Ma once said: How can you become stronger without recharging money? So a large number of viewers opened their own Huabei. Well, let's borrow some money from Lao Ma.
Of course, the subsequent plot and special effects did not disappoint the audience. Whether it was the grand scene of carrying the coffin in Kowloon, or the special effects of the human-faced bird and the monkeys in the mouth rushing towards Wu Xie and his party like a tide, it can be said that there was no peeing in the whole process, and many readers even
When I went to the toilet, I stared at my phone and tablet eagerly, and before I knew it, my feet were numb.
"This kid has really stepped ahead of everyone." No matter how proud Huang Hexiang is, he has to admit that this young man who has just been in the industry for a few years has already left them all behind. From now on, they can only watch.
He is chasing after him desperately, because once he stops, you can't even see his back.
