Chapter 499: The Xuanwu Warrior Turned Out to Be the Captain!
"It's a long story!"
In the conference hall on the 10th floor of the PD Building, Yan Tao was explaining the project details of "Male Soldier Company" to his colleagues and Mr. Meng.
"The story takes place in the world of armored warriors, connecting the plot of TV dramas and Emperor Heroes movies. After Li Ziyang defeated the Shadow Emperor, he took the initiative to return his belt and started a mobile food truck again. ”
"But the Shadow Emperor is not dead, as the other side of the universe is extremely dark, his remaining will has awakened with the help of a demonic beast from another dimension. In order to recover his strength as soon as possible, he set his sights on Sakura, a neon alienated girl!"
"Sakura-chan's alienated body has been taken away, and the Shadow Emperor has become more terrifying and powerful, trying to devour the entire world to strengthen himself!"
"The neon government in exile, together with Huaxia, the United States, Oumeng and other countries, jointly formulated the Xiongbing Plan......"
"Wait!"
Meng Lang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that the little demon immortals, the four spirit warriors and the armored warriors were good? !"
"Uhhh......h
Yan Tao explained: "In order to reflect the unity of the people of the world, and for the comfort of foreigners, we decided to add a few overseas heroes. ”
"Neon dispatched alienated girls, Europe and the United States dispatched electronic teams, and my country dispatched four spirit warriors, armored warriors and little demon fairies to form a coalition together!"
Okay, that makes sense.
Meng Lang covered his forehead and said, "You continue!"
"After the execution of the heroic plan, the heroes gathered. The first problem was that they had to choose a captain......"
Meng Lang originally thought that this captain must be the emperor Li Ziyang, the Yanlongxia Li Xinnan, and the electromagnetic red.
Unexpectedly, Yan Tao was more sassy than him!
"Heroes are arrogant, and no one obeys anyone. Only the Xuanwu warrior Yi Dashan, because of his honest and good character, has been recognized by most heroes as the captain!"
Xuanwu Warrior?
Meng Lang glanced at Yan Tao, suspecting that this guy took the opportunity to entrap private goods and insinuate that he abused the Xuanwu warriors!
Of course, this is not important.
No matter who is the captain, he can't escape the fate of being limited by Mr. Meng as the "captain". Whether it is a Xuanwu warrior or an emperor, what is the essential difference?
The setting does a bit of a balance.
The magic power of Meiqi Miyuki, Demon Fairy Xiaolan, and Yan Lili has been greatly enhanced. The electronic warfare team's electromagnetic capabilities have also received some improvements.
Emperor Xia has been cut!
After all, we have to play together, if the strength of Emperor Xia is not reduced, then this movie will simply be renamed "Emperor Man 2".
The Four Spirit Warriors have been slightly strengthened, but the ultimate warrior form, setting and strength after their merger have been cut off, and the treatment is similar to that of Emperor Xia.
Sakura has changed the most!
As the "host" of the Shadow Emperor's recovery, the alienated girl is positioned as a unique figure in this film, both as a villain and as a member of the Male Company.
She was robbed of her body by the Shadow Emperor, but in the end, she interfered with the Shadow Emperor's actions and forcibly alienated her.
"I know that I am now the enemy of all mankind, and that peace can be restored to this world only when I die. ”
"If I succeed, remember to tell everyone for me...... I'm sorry!"
As the target of Meng Zai's deliberate murder, it would be too much to weaken her strength under the weakness of being a thief.
So Sakura is strong!
The basic character setting is fine, and the plot is normal. The focus of the meeting gradually shifted to the production budget.
"At least 100 million!"
Yan Tao gestured: "There are more than 20 leading actors, and the salary is not a small amount." Not to mention the post-production special effects, that is the most money-burning part. ”
"Okay, I see. ”
After receiving the budget report, Meng Lang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I'll give you this money later, and pull up the crew framework first." The special effects can be outsourced to other companies if they can't afford it internally. ”
"Money is not an issue, you must do a good job!"
After the meeting, Meng Lang left Yan Tao alone and handed him a signed and stamped application.
After Meng Zai's matchmaking, a certain fleet of the Navy and a certain army department agreed to his application, and some equipment could be used during filming.
The price is acceptable.
The other party's requirements are nothing more than "the number is not exposed" and "shoot a little handsome", it is best to shoot a conscription advertisement, which can be easily achieved.
It's not the first time!
During the production of Transformers, Meng Lang hooked up with the equipment department. When Ultraman and Armored Warriors were filming, they also used a lot of equipment weapons.
After seeing off the joyful Yan Tao, Meng Lang returned to the Leo crew and began to shoot the last big scene - the enhanced power version of L77 light!
When the children kill Commander Black, Leo unleashes an astonishing burst of power, destroying Black Star with a single L77 ray.
Burst star light!
In Ultraman Showa's works, there are many powerful lights that are set. Such as Zofie's M87, Ace's Cosmic Pentafold Light, and Super Taylor's Cosmic Miracle Light, it seems that they can all explode stars!
But that's just the setting......
Among the many TV Olympics, Leo should be the first Ultraman to burst into the stars. After all, the others are not so brutal and directly destroy a planet.
The huge planet was destroyed by a ray of light in an instant. The shock brought by this visual impact is far stronger than the boring setting.
Again, this scene is difficult to film.
Meng Lang's original plan was to use special effects to virtualize a Black star, and then combine it with L77 light to synthesize a picture of the planet exploding.
But it's too time-consuming!
In order to render these explosions, Leo's schedule had to be postponed by 1-2 months. Meng Lang couldn't afford it, so he had to find another way.
His choice is a model!
The prop master used yellow clay to pinch out a mud ball with a pitted surface. Then use a variety of pigments to complement the details to perfection.
The "Black Star" that appears at the end is a little farther away and the lights are dimmed, which is no different from the real cosmic planets.
The planet is here, it's time to explode!
For best results, 50% of the inside of the mud ball is buried with broken diamonds. When it explodes, the diamond bursts out, and it looks like a painting in the light.
Unfortunately, the moment of the explosion is not easy to capture. Even with ultra-high-speed cameras, it's hard to capture the perfect shot.
In order to shoot this scene well, Meng Lang took hundreds of people up and down the whole crew to play mud pinching and painting balls together. It took three days to capture the moment of the beautiful explosion of the planet.
Then, Leo is finished!
The progress of post-production is much faster than expected. The editing is tired like a dog, and the special effects oversleep, this is the true portrayal of Leo's later period.
Compared with the previous work Tailuo and Ace, the King of Light, Leo's special effects are not only few, but also of low quality.
The early and middle stages are basically dominated by fighting, and there is little room for special effects. The light in the middle and later stages is also very simple, and even if the painting is done with optics, the construction period is not half as long as that of Taylor.
Worthy of the king of martial arts!
PS: The update has been late in the past two days, mainly because I went home late. After all, there are a lot of things to be busy when you are just starting out, and it will be good in a few days!
