Chapter 550 New genre of film and television publicity - live broadcast
This seminar was held from afternoon to evening and it was not finished yet, so I had to find time to make up for it.
However, the meeting that has been held has basically determined the plot issues of Ying Si. Fulong and Chen Shouming also have a general understanding of why Zuo Le attaches so much importance to the role of Ying Si.
Connect the previous and the next.
As the first protagonist monarch of "The Qin Empire", Qin Xiaogong leads the series to the beginning, so it is important to get a good start.
But after all, Xiao Gong already ended up in the first movie "Fission", while Ying Si spans two movies.
It is not only related to the ending of "Fission", but also directly determines the quality of the second "Zongheng", and is the key to whether "Qin Empire" can form a series of IP.
In this way, Ying Si's importance in the crew of "Fission" is almost second only to that of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang, so it is reasonable for Zuo Le to value him.
The two people's ideas were somewhat inconsistent with Zuo Le's original intention, but they were not unfounded, and Zuo Le would not explain. Anyway, no matter what they thought, as long as the goal was achieved.
Fulong has just joined the team, and he mainly focuses on finding his status. He has not taken any big roles. Basically, he has scattered roles. The more important ones are all with Ying Qian and the scenery supervisor.
It was not until 10 days later that Zuo Le finally arranged a major event for Fulong.
The plot background of this clip is that Shang Yang was tricked and imprisoned by Ying Qian and the old family. Shang Yang took advantage of this and planned to die to protect the law.
Before the execution, Yingsi came to say goodbye and at the same time asked Shang Yang about the government at the end.
Specially built prison scenes
Chen Shouming has a gray beard, his hair is disheveled, and he is shackled, while his co-star Fu Long is wearing a black cloak.
In the plot, because he wants to appease the court and eliminate the vigilance of the old clan, Ying Si must show his hostility towards Shang Yang.
So even if it was a final farewell, he could only come quietly and hide his identity with a black cloak.
This clip contains a total of three sets of perspective shots, one with Shang Yang, one with Ying Si, and one with the two of them together.
Normally, each group is shot separately. For example, if Shang Yang is shot alone, then Chen Shouming will perform a one-man show by himself, and Fulong will dub him off-camera to maintain the rhythm.
However, considering the emotional release of the characters in this scene, in order to allow the actors to better immerse themselves in it.
Zuo Le simply let the two of them play directly against each other, shooting two sets of shots at the same time, and then shooting the panorama to supplement it.
"Get ready to start shooting, all units pay attention."
After Fulong and Chen Shouming finished their duet, they went back to their respective places. Zuo Le greeted them and started the official shooting.
In the quiet prison, footsteps suddenly started to sound. Shang Yang, who was sitting calmly in the cell, heard the movement, raised his head slightly and looked at the corridor outside the cell, and asked loudly.
"Who is here? If you win General Qian, you can have a drink."
Fulong entered the room and looked at Shang Yang who was in a miserable state in the cell, with tears in his eyes and guilt on his face.
"Shang Jun, Yingsi is here."
"I am incompetent in winning the army, and I am so tired of you. I am ashamed of my father-in-law, and I am ashamed of my Lord Shang. I come here to apologize."
After hearing this, Shang Yang smiled casually and said, "Young Master asked himself to be imprisoned. What crime does Duke Qin have? If Duke Qin can come today, Yang Yang has no regrets."
Ying Si's face was full of shame. Facing this hero who was about to sacrifice his life for the Qin Kingdom, the more free and easy he was, the deeper the guilt in his heart became. He could only sigh helplessly.
"In the end, our country, Qin, owes you to Lord Shang."
Shang Yang shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Die for the state of Qin and die for the law of Qin. This is what Yang wants. Duke Qin does not need to worry about himself."
Ying Si's heart was shaken, and his guilt deepened. He bowed and bowed respectfully to Shang Yang.
Shang Yang accepted this gift calmly.
With his contribution to the Qin State, with what he has done now, with winning Si and his feelings as a king, a minister, and a teacher and student.
Shang Yang received the gift of winning the Si from Duke Qin.
………
After filming this part, Zuo Le directed the actors' positions, changed the camera, and Ying Si entered the cell to respectfully and sincerely ask Shang Yang about politics.
"Ying Si asked, after Lord Shang, where will the old family turn to if they want to cause chaos, and how can they be pacified?"
After the death of Duke Xiao, the old family would rather disrupt the country's politics than kill Shang Yang, and repeatedly attacked the new law, which made the foundation of Qin unstable and Yingsi hated him to the bone.
At the same time, Yingsi agreed to Shang Yang and supported Qin's laws, which would inevitably lead to conflicts with the old clan who were bent on abolishing the laws.
This battle is inevitable.
Therefore, Ying Si began to think about how to deal with the old clan early. This was also his most important issue, and he was the first to ask Shang Yang about it.
Shang Yang had already suspected this.
He pointed to a map of Qin on the wall and raised the branch in his hand to point to a certain location.
Yiqu.
"The foundation of the old family is entirely in Qin, and there is no power to divide Wei, Han, and Zhao into Jin. If they want to start an uprising, they will definitely establish a new clan to carry out restoration rebellion, overthrow the Duke of Qin, and subvert the new law.
Historically, during restoration turmoil, when internal strength is insufficient, external strength must be borrowed, and the Yiqu tribe is their biggest foreign aid."
Seeing the fear and solemn expression on Ying Si's face, Shang Yang gave instructions with confidence.
Yiqu is greedy for profit but does not know how to fight. He has strength in vain, but he is not a powerful enemy. The new army in Qin has been formed and has strong combat power. As long as Ying Si prepares in advance and trusts Ying Qian, Che Ying and other generals, it will not be enough to cause chaos among the old families.
to pose a major threat.
With Shang Yang's guidance, Ying Si felt confident and nodded in agreement. He also took the map drawn by Shang Yang for future reference.
When Shang Yang saw this, he was very pleased. He looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "Qin Gong is prudent and steady. My ancestors can now have no worries."
Yingsi put away the map, gave another salute, and said: "Yingsi has a second question, where is the general and prime minister of Qin after Lord Shang?"
This issue is very important. During the Qin Xiaogong period, the Qin State was able to reach today thanks to the assistance of a great talent like Shang Yang and the concerted efforts of all officials.
But now, Shang Yang is about to die, and the old family cannot entrust them with important responsibilities. Jingjian and Che Ying are old, and they are also a little discouraged because of Shang Yang's death, and they will probably leave the court soon.
After these veterans left, Yingsi prepared to build his own loyal young team, but he didn't know who would be available, so he asked Shang Yang.
Shang Yang had obviously considered this issue and talked eloquently to Ying Si.
In fact, he had been considering the issue of successors for a long time. He also visited Qin State and inspected it, and he actually recommended two young talents from Qin State to Ying Si.
Yingji, the Qin clan has a strong foundation and is round on the outside and square on the inside. It has both civil and military skills. It can be used for great purposes and govern according to the law.
Sima Cuo was the guard general of Hangu Pass. He was talented in generals and could be appointed as the general of the country.
As for the ministers in charge of the founding of the government, Shang Yang currently has no good candidates, so he suggested that Yingsi look at the world and consider the selection.
Yingsi kept the names of Yingji and Yingji in mind and asked the third question.
"After Shang Jun, how can Ying Si treat his uncle Ying Qian?"
This question made Shang Yang a little surprised, and then Lao Huai comforted him: "Since Duke Qin has asked this question, Yang Yang can feel at ease."
In the play, after Yingsi comes to power, the most important people are Shang Yang and Yingqian. Even in terms of influence, the latter is greater than the former.
Ying Qian once believed that Shang Yang's power was unfavorable to the monarch of Qin, but little did he know that Shang Yang was also worried about Ying Qian's existence.
If he were here, he could still balance the other party, but when he dies, the old family is dealt with, and Jingjian Che Ying retires, only Ying Qian will be left.
Ying Qian is the head of the clan, has always had prestige in the army, and is also the elder of Ying Si. If he is not controlled and vigilant, it will not be a long-term peace policy.
But now, how could Shang Yang not be pleased that Ying Si could be keenly aware of this problem, understand the principle of distinguishing public from private, and know the way to be a king?
Actually, there are some hints here.
Ying Si asked Shang Yang for advice on how to deal with Ying Qian, which shows that he has begun to be regarded as a qualified monarch. So at this period, does Ying Si understand what Shang Yang's existence means to him.
If Shang Yang did not seek death and become a martyr, but continued to serve as a powerful minister, would the scene of friendship between emperor and ministers still exist today?
Gongbo, who was completely sincere towards him, knew how to plan and take precautions, not to mention Shang Yang's position as a teacher.
Although "Fission" adopts a whitewashing mode for Ying Si, it does not leave out any details. There are many details in the play that if the audience develops their imagination, they will think about it in horror.
As for Ying Qian, an old enemy, Shang Yang also gave him a solution and did not use it to take revenge.
The reason is that Ying Qian is different from the old clan, and defense is all about defense, but Ying Qian's heart is towards Ying Si and the new method. The Qin State also needs the help of this clan leader to maintain stability. For this reason alone, Shang Yang will not attack him.
Shang Yang told Ying Si that Ying Qian understood the overall situation, but was narrow-minded, so his friendship should not be harmed. He could be treated favorably with a high position and allowed to participate in state affairs, but he could not be given real power.
Ying Si sighed in admiration: "The only person who knows my uncle is Mr. Shang."
Shang Yang also showed a wry smile: "Young Yang knows Ying Qian, and Ying Qian knows Martingale. The two get to know each other, and eventually part ways."
After answering all three questions in his mind, Yingsi stood up and bowed to Shang Yang again.
"Shang Jun's teachings, Yingsi will always remember them in his heart."
Then Yingsi asked Shang Yang if he had anything to entrust him to, and Shang Yang smiled and replied, "Nothing happened before or after my death."
Yingsi asked the jailer for wine, poured two bowls of wine, and shared them with Shang Yang. Yingsi knelt down to see Shang Yang off, and Shang Yang held the bowl and said.
"My father-in-law came to visit me. Everything is fine."
After that, he drank the wine in one gulp, Ying Si shed tears, took a deep look at Shang Yang, and turned away.
………
bang bang bang
"Wonderful!"
The two finished the scene, with tears still on Fulong's face. Zuo Le personally took the lead in applauding the two actors.
This scene was so enjoyable to shoot.
One has two awards, and the other has a Golden Dragon and a Golden Phoenix. They compete with each other and contribute top-notch acting skills, emotional rendering of the characters, and the atmosphere of the scene. It's just right.
Zuo Le watched from behind the monitor, taking deep breaths for fear of disturbing the two actors and affecting their condition.
There were several emotional staff members nearby who were even moved to tears when they saw Shang Yang's teachings to Ying Si.
It would be fine if the finished product was broadcast. With the coordination of music, camera, and editing, it would definitely be very touching.
But with so many people and machines at the filming site, it was obvious that everyone realized that this was fake. However, in this environment, Chen Shouming and the two were still able to bring everyone into the scene. It can be seen that these two performed very well today.
How nice.
Zuo Le waited for the two of them to calm down before reshooting various shots.
The scene just now was exciting because of the actors' explosive acting skills and full of emotions. However, there were still many mistakes in the camera arrangement, so it was necessary to reshoot the scenes for post-production adjustments and editing.
Of course, the scene just now was shot so well that it is impossible to cut it into pieces. Basically, we will make certain deletions, modifications and additions based on this scene to strive for perfection.
In fact, for a major event like this, acting and emotion are the most important. As long as the camera, positioning, coordination, etc. are up to standard and not cheating, there will be no problem.
After working on it for more than two hours, the scene was finally done.
This progress has far exceeded everyone's expectations in advance. Everyone originally thought that this scene would take at least two days and would be filmed tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, the two actors performed beyond their standards and ended the work early. Fulong even got a day off because of this.
But it was not easy for him. After a day off, he had to be the executive director to go out on location to shoot the scene where Ying Si wanders around Qin. He had to travel to several places to shoot in two weeks, and the environment was not good, so he was afraid he would have to suffer a lot.
And Chen Shouming and Zuo Le were not idle either.
Today's scene is over, and we will soon shoot the final scene of Shang Yang's execution, which is the finale.
This is a big scene, with many people appearing and many climaxes. It is estimated that it will not be possible to win within a week, and it will be a tough battle.
………
The crew of "The Great Qin Empire" is busy in full swing, and the days outside are not deserted either.
Summer vacation is approaching and "The Big Bang Theory" will be released soon.
It stands to reason that at this time, director Zuo Le should lead the team to promote the film, but he couldn't get away with "Fission", so he led the team instead because of Eun Tae.
However, Zuo Le did not escape completely. Although the person did not arrive, he still showed up in the live broadcast from time to time.
I don’t know when the film and television industry emerged. Nowadays, the promotion of many movies and TV series has begun to get involved in the field of live broadcasting.
This kind of live broadcast promotion has many benefits.
Once the time is free, it can match the actors' schedules, and it does not delay other promotion channels. It is enough for one or two actors to spare two or three hours in the evening.
Secondly, it faces a wide range of audiences. In theory, audiences all over the world can watch the live broadcast.
Third, actors and creators can communicate directly with the audience face-to-face, which is more cordial and free than some variety shows, road shows, interviews, etc.
These advantages have made live broadcasting gradually become a new genre of film and television promotion, and even mountains and rivers are joining in the fun.
However, Shanhe does not have much experience in live broadcast promotion. Strictly speaking, it only has dramas such as "Jingwei Reclamation", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp - Jingjue Ancient City" and "Family with Children 8" in the past two years.
Zuo Le himself has never experienced live broadcast promotion on an online platform before.
I tried it myself this time, and I think it’s really fun, and there are a lot of rich fans buying gifts.
It’s really not an exaggeration. In just one week, Zuo Le hosted four live broadcasts, three on short video APPs and one on a currency website. The total live broadcast time was about eight hours, and the revenue he earned exceeded seven figures.
This is the result of the platform’s sharing and Zuo Le’s insistence that fans in the live broadcast room use gifts rationally. If Zuo Le indulges his fans, his income may be doubled.
After this time, Zuo Le understood why so many celebrities like to go to the live broadcast circle. They really make money.
If it weren't for his family's big business, he would have taken his wife to live broadcast to deliver goods.
"Family members, step up and pay attention to the big brother on the list, old iron 666..."
