Chapter 94 'Seven Swords' starts, Hong Shaoxia first fights Niu Laosan
In the following days, the ratings of "Family with Children" continued to rise.
Although the popularity online and offline is not as popular as when "Underground Traffic Station" and "The Story of the Cooking Class" were aired, compared with ordinary TV series, the results of "Family with Children" are also very impressive.
Especially among children and teenagers, "Family with Children" has attracted much attention. Liu Xing and Xia Xue have gradually become celebrities among their peers.
Yang Qing has an appointment to film on the set and is not too impressed with his rising popularity. However, Zhang Shan and You Haohao at home have experienced what it means to be a star.
Now it's the Chinese New Year, and families are visiting relatives everywhere. When they see two celebrity kids, why don't they come over and take photos and post them on WeChat to show off.
[This is my younger brother/nephew/nephew/best friend’s son, Liu Xing/Xiaoyu who has children at home]
In just a few days, the two children were almost mentally tortured. When they saw the strange aunt walking towards her with a mobile phone and a smile, they reflexively showed a standard smile for a group photo and gestured with their hands.
But there are pros and cons. Although you have to laugh in front of adults, the advantage is that the new year's money is a lot more. Even if most of it is "kept" by the parents, the remaining money will be enough for them to live a prosperous New Year.
Moreover, it is winter vacation now, the school is on vacation, and when the new semester starts, that will be their peak.
Zhang Shan, who is in sixth grade this year, has already received "love letters" from several female classmates on Penguin.
Zhang Shan has done other movies before and is somewhat famous in school, but he has never received a love letter from a female classmate. He is so popular now.
On the one hand, as they get older, the female classmates gradually "enlighten", but the more reason is that "Family with Children" has a huge impact on the youth group, and many female classmates really like the humorous Liu Xing.
Zhang Shan sternly rejected all these confessions, except that the child had no hormones for the time being and was not very interested in these female classmates. More importantly, he was afraid of being beaten.
According to reliable sources, the "boss" of some schools don't seem to be very interested in Zhang Shan, a celebrity, and plan to talk to him at the beginning of the school year. Zhang Shan has already reported it to the teacher. The school attaches great importance to it and has beaten these "boss" one by one.
However, just in case, the teacher still asked Zhang Shan to keep a low profile in school.
In this way, until he graduated from junior high school, Zhang Shan was as honest as a little sheep in school, and he never even held the hand of a girl...
…………
In addition to the popularity of the three children, the fame of the two parents has also increased greatly. However, Song Changying was already popular, and although Liu Mei made her the icing on the cake, it did not change too much.
Gao Xinjian was different. He became famous in one fell swoop. People knew him wherever he went. He greeted Xia Donghai cordially. He, who had not caught up with the collective popularity of the Kongwen actors in "The Story of the Cooking Class", caught up with him six months later.
Fucked old colleagues.
In addition to his own popularity, what makes Gao Xinjian even more happy is that because of the outstanding performance of "Family with Children", Zuo Le is planning to let him direct the second part of "Family with Children", with Zuo Le stepping down to serve as a producer.
But before that, Zuo Le set a test for Gao Xinjian.
That is, Shanhe Pictures is about to cooperate with Kongwen to produce a companion piece to the cooking class, "The Story of the Health Team."
Shanhe produced the script, Kongwen produced the actors, and the two directors jointly directed the film. Gao Xinjian was the director sent by Shanhe.
He is from Kongwen and has good relations with the people there. With his help in bridging the gap, there will be no disputes when the two parties cooperate.
In addition, Zuo Le hopes that Gao Xinjian can take this opportunity to continue to accumulate directing experience and pave the way for independent directing of "Family with Children".
Although under Zuo Le's deliberate training, Gao Xinjian's directing ability has been greatly exercised on the crew of "Family with Children" and he has initially developed the ability to direct independently, but for the sake of safety, Zuo Le decided to let Gao Xinjian direct in "Health Team"
The crew of "The Story" took a moment to settle down during the transition.
Assistant director, executive director, co-director and independent director.
Directors who step by step in this way have a more stable temperament, and their experience and abilities are more mature.
Even Zuo Le is like this. If he didn't have more than a year of experience as an assistant director and executive director, even if he was given a golden finger to copy, he might not be able to make "Underground Traffic Station" successfully.
Now, the editorial department has begun to write the detailed outline of "The Story of the Health Team". It is expected to start shooting in mid or late March and complete the filming in 2 to 3 months.
At most, in July, Gao Xinjian can take some time to prepare for the second part of "Family with Children". If the progress goes well, it will premiere during the Spring Festival next year.
Then if we continue filming one film a year, maybe we can create a "family with a universe".
…………
After arrangements were made for the sequel to "Family with Children", Zuo Le shifted his focus back to "Seven Swords".
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, "Seven Swords" is launched.
Because the construction of real scenes in various places has not yet been completed, the crew still mainly shoots non-real scenes and some special effects scenes in the initial shooting.
Changqing film and television base, studio
What we filmed today was the scene where the Demon Cult soldiers besieged Mount Tai, Hong Bai died, Dugu Qianqiu set fire to the mountain in an attempt to force the Qilin out, and Hong Miao risked his life to break out of the siege with the Qilin in a sea of fire.
Mount Tai and the Sea of Fire definitely couldn't be shot in real-life, and some shots required special effects, so Zuo Le resorted to the green screen technique.
Zhou Binbin, who plays Niu Xuanfeng, is dressed in tattered armor and his body was burned black. This is because he was beaten by Hong Bai before he died in the play.
Except for him, Dugu Qianqiu, Hou You, and Zhu Wujie were all dressed in a very embarrassed manner. Those who knew were from the Demon Cult, and those who didn't thought they were the Beggar Clan.
And Yuan Ye, who plays Hong Miao, is not very clean either. He fought all the way through the sea of fire, and his body was covered in smoke and blood. If the Changhong Sword in his hand had not been stained with blood, it would have turned blood red.
The scene that will be filmed soon is when Hong Miao is blocked by Niu Xianfeng on his way to break out of the siege, and the two sides fight.
This can be regarded as Hong Miao's first battle in the play. He almost completely tortured Niu Xuanfeng, the leader of the Demon Church, and then he fought against Zhu, Niu and Hou Bubai with one against three (Hou was suspected of betraying him).
These two fights show the strength of the young hero Hong Miao, who is the leader of the Seven Swords. They are considered to be the more important fight scenes in the opening chapter, and Zuo Le attaches great importance to them.
I specially held a small meeting before the shooting, and reminded the members of the Demon Cult: "In addition to Hong Miao, we must also pay attention to the "fight" with Qilin, leave enough space, and try to be as realistic as possible to facilitate the special effects in the later stage."
"Don't worry, director, we just rehearsed it several times, and Director Li and the others have explained all the essentials of the action clearly. Let's start shooting directly."
Zhou Binbin's two xuanhua axes, which were two circles larger than a tennis racket, touched each other, making a crisp metal collision sound, and he was full of confidence.
This is a prop specially customized by the crew. The two axes weigh ten kilograms in total. Thanks to Zhou Binbin's big size, he can hold it easily. If Mao Xiaolai was allowed to swing it dozens of times, he would be exhausted, let alone slap him.
It's a show.
"How is Yuan Ye?"
Zuo Le looked at Yuan Ye. The young man nodded and skillfully made a sword flower with the Changhong Sword in his hand: "No problem."
"Okay, let's turn it on and give it a try. I'll see how you've been practicing this month."
Zuo Le clapped his hands and rushed around to the staff and clapped their hands: "The actors are coming to Wia to prepare for the official shooting."
