Chapter 79: Cameo appearance in Magic Valley
Meng Lang didn't know that he was being sold.
He is discussing with several special effects artists in the company how to make gyroscopic combat effects that satisfy the audience.
One of the major difficulties with tokusatsu is that many people don't understand how to handle the amount of special effects.
Isn't it necessarily good to have more special effects?
No, take the classic series of Ultraman as an example, in the early Showa Ao and Heisei O, there were really few special effects, except for transformation and light skills, there were basically no special effects.
Can you say it's not going to work?
There are a lot of special effects for the new generation, but it's mostly in the transformation area, and the battle is actually the same old one, at most add a little light skill to the new Ao.
The duel scene of the gyroscope in another dimension, the special effects team has always had two points of contention.
One is the simplicity pie!
This faction feels that the rotation impact of the top is already very visually impactful, and it is enough to add some sparks when colliding and lingering light effects when rotating, which can save money and not get tired.
The other faction is the Gorgeous faction!
This group of people is more flamboyant, and they feel that if the gyro battle is a collision and spin back and forth, it will be too boring. You have to use a lot of special effects to make up for this weakness and make the combat graphics more exciting.
Meng Lang was a member of the simplicity sect before.
How good it is to save money without getting tired!
But the speech of the gorgeous faction made him change his opinion.
"Mr. Meng, I think you may have misjudged the current trend of the children's special effects drama market. If simple special effects were placed ten years ago, there may not be a market space, but now, children may not be able to accept it. ”
Someone from the Jane (ma) Pu (pi) faction was not convinced, and slapped the table and glared at this person: "Do you mean that the Fire Boy King and the Balala Little Demon Fairy are both lucky to succeed?"
"That's not the same ......"
He explained: "Mr. Meng's Fire Boy King and Balala Little Demon Fairy had no competitors at that time, and this "Battle King EX" had to fight on the same stage with many competitors. ”
In other words, there was little or even no pressure in the past, and it was easy to do it at that time.
But now that the pressure of competition in the industry is so great, the children's eyes have also been raised, and the special effects are not careful, I am afraid that they will repeat the tragic end of "Hurricane Boy King".
He had a point.
Meng Lang followed his advice and decided to get some bells and whistles on the basic gyroscopic collision spark.
It may not be as fine as it is, but this spinning top is shining!
It's amazing to shine!
"Then let's do it, the image of the holy beast of the top is also better, don't make a four-like appearance in the end and be embarrassed. ”
"Okay, Mr. Meng!"
After leaving the conference room, Meng Lang returned to the crew to shoot the set again.
Today, I have to take advantage of the good weather to shoot more exterior shots.
Meng Lang has not played a cameo role in the play for a long time, this time he reappeared in the rivers and lakes, painted rich eye shadow, combed his hair into a funeral love look, and put on a leather coat to play the magic valley.
This is an early villain, and it doesn't take a few episodes to GG that kind of soy sauce trick.
The strength is not strong, and the younger brother of Magic Valley also bullied Xu Feng and Qiu Yu, who had just activated the energy of the spar.
When the protagonists have mastered the fighting skills, he will rush to the street to receive a boxed lunch.
Meng Lang likes to play a cameo role the most!
Because only in this way can he show his outstanding acting skills.
What kind of demon fairy Xiaolan Xiaoyue, his acting skills were all beaten by his pleasure prince!
If the little devil fairy is made into a movie, what best supporting actor award is not a matter of grabbing?
Of course, this is just Meng Lang's subjective thoughts.
In fact, in the eyes of the entire crew, Mr. Meng belongs to the typical example of "people are still addicted to food".
obviously has poor acting skills, and thieves like acting.
Forget it, he is the boss of the crew, and even the dog producer can't do anything about him, so others naturally don't dare to gossip.
But Mr. Meng's performance was too embarrassing.
Forget about the standard Sima face, I always like to do some inexplicable movements.
For example, in the first scene, the two met in the corridor of Haibo University with Xu Feng and Qiu Yu.
Originally, this scene was very simple, the Magic Valley appeared handsomely, Xu Feng and Qiu Yu were so frightened that Qiu Yu hurriedly threw out the steel balls to confuse the Magic Valley and finally fled the scene......
But when filming, Meng Lang always likes to add superfluous actions to his role.
Like walking.
The heels are raised high and then fall heavily, the arms shake like Newton's swing balls, and the leather shoes make a thumping sound against the tiles, giving the impression of ...... This is an emotionless killer!
With the steps of not recognizing his six relatives, his eyes are murderous, and his indifferent facial expression is almost like acting in a zombie movie.
This is a bitter actor who plays against Meng Lang.
Wang Kun was already laughing.
Don't blame him, you really can't blame him.
It's really Meng Lang's walking posture that is too magical, and he can't help but want to laugh at a glance.
Meng Lang was very dissatisfied.
"What's so funny?"
Turning back and adding special effects, when he walked, a black gas and lightning lingered on his body, and golden light burst out from his eyes. The tiles on the ground also look like they have been "stepped on", do you still think it's funny?
That's it for filming the second special effects drama!
It's not too embarrassing, but when I go back into the studio and shoot a gyroscope against a green screen, it's much more embarrassing than it is now.
Whenever you need to use special effects or special effects, there is basically nothing that is not embarrassing.
To take the simplest example, do you know how to shoot the scenes of grabbing the car and stepping on the accelerator to stage the flying car drift in the movie?
propping up a car, the starring actor sat in the car for a "operation", stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the steering wheel pulled back and forth left and right, looking at the thief's excitement, in fact, the car never moved at all.
The real drag racing shots are all stunt racers with the same body changing into the costumes of the leading actors, shooting good materials, and synthesizing through post-editing......
So filming and watching a movie are completely different experiences.
It's not easy to film.
Lao Meng was very happy to see his son's cameo, and he also asked for the role of Dong Lei's father, Professor Dong, to get over it.
Before the filming was over, Lao Meng slipped away.
It's also too torturous, especially when the director's son still has a bad mouth and likes to talk about him.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people in the crew, the impact of the action was not good, and according to Lao Meng's violent temper, I am afraid that he would have rebelled and beaten the dog director a long time ago.
The old Menglai crew, in addition to visiting the class and making a cameo, also shoulders an important mission.
"The address is the western restaurant on Xinhai Avenue, the name is a string of English, tomorrow at noon at twelve o'clock, remember to go on time!"
After Lao Meng finished speaking, he ignored Meng Lang's stunned expression and left.
Meng Lang stood in place, holding the small note handed to him by Lao Meng and looking at it carefully.
What the hell!
He Yushu Linfeng Xiaolangjun, does he need to rely on a blind date to find a partner? !
Although his expression was very resistant, he honestly put the small note with the address in his trouser pocket.
Let's check it out first, if it's not bad......
Who can say for sure about ape dung.
