Chapter 15 Hair color distinguishes between good and evil

Unlike the production of "Firepower Boy King", a large number of 'mercenaries' were selected, and after the project "Balala Little Demon Fairy" was established this time, Meng Lang did not choose to form a grass platform team full of 'mercenaries'.

He's ready to pull up his own tokusatsu team!

With his own team, projects like the sequel to "Fire Boy" and "Bakugan Kid" can be done by the company's people, and he can free up his hands to start other projects.

If he does it alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to shoot many classics until he dies.

After all, it took nearly half a year to complete a shoddy "Fire Boy King", and if every drama was like this, he would only be able to finish filming one "Ultraman" series in his life.

How can this work?

Dig people! You must dig people!

What lighting designers, makeup artists, and directors and producers are all indispensable!

Pull up a team, you can do a project. Only in this way can he have the opportunity to harvest the pocket money and New Year's money of children all over the world!

The script of "Balala Little Demon Fairy" is not complicated, although Meng Lang has not filmed many special effects, he has seen a lot!

He knows very clearly what dramas are popular and what dramas are hitting the streets to death.

The plot must be concise and clear, and there must be no complicated and protracted settings and entanglements.

It's impossible to make a fool of yourself!

This is a special effects drama that was filmed to sell derivative toys, not to impact the Oscar for Best Picture!

After figuring this out, the improvement of the script of the little demon fairy is basically over.

......

"This is a girl-in-law live-action TV series that uses magic transformation as a selling point!"

In the Pengda Film and Television Conference Room of Senhai Building, Meng Lang used PPT+ speech to tell the new team members about the specific details of the project "Balala Little Demon Fairy".

The PPT shows a dreamlike European-style castle building.

"This is the Demon Immortal Castle! A magical magical world, ruled by the Demon Fairy Queen, only the Demon Immortal can learn magic! There is a treasure in it, the Demon Immortal Colored Stone!"

Meng Lang pressed the remote control and switched the PPT to the character portrait about the protagonist Demon Fairy Xiaolan.

"This is one of the protagonists in this play, the little demon fairy who guards the demon fairy colored stone in the Demon Immortal Castle!"

The slideshow continues to show a portrait of a character who kills Matt's explosive head.

"This is the Demon Immortal Xiaoyue, the Black Demon Immortal who steals black magic! Steals the Demon Immortal Colored Stone and hides in the human world!

With Meng Lang's explanation, this group of old fritters in the TV circle who had just been poached by Du Fang had a general understanding of this project.

Demon Immortal Castle, there are strange treasures. The Black Devil Immortal, stolen it. Little Demon Fairy, chasing strange treasures. Two demon immortals, running around......

What a story for children......

The story is simple, but full of fairy tales.

Wang Kui, who has now jumped ship to join Pengda Film and Television and served as the art director, wrote down the main points on paper with a pen, and suddenly asked after Meng Lang finished talking about the character setting of "Balala Little Demon Fairy": "Mr. Meng, I have a question!"

"Please speak!" Meng Lang waved his hand and said: "Also, you can call me president and boss, don't call Mr. Meng." ”

He is Mr. Meng, what should he call when the father of the parent company comes?

Also called Mr. Meng?

After correcting Wang Kui's title, Meng Lang listened to him say: "I have noticed that in these character settings, the shapes of the Little Demon Immortal and the Black Demon Immortal are ......."

"Think it's too extreme?" Meng Lang smiled.

Wang Kui nodded hesitantly.

The little demon fairy has blonde hair and blue hair shining beautifully, and when it comes to the black magic fairy, it is purple-haired and non-mainstream. Everyone is a demon fairy, and it makes no sense that magic attributes can also affect hairstyles and hair colors!

"It's not the first time that hair color is used to distinguish between good and evil, what's so strange?"

Meng Lang explained: "Because the plot is too thin, and the complex setting of good and evil will be counterproductive, in order to highlight the difference between good and evil, it is the most useful way to distinguish the character camp by hair color. ”

Not only does the hair color highlight the good and evil, but also the makeup and clothing also need to put some effort into it.

For example, the makeup of the little demon fairy is more exquisite, while the makeup of the black demon fairy leans in the direction of enchantment. The color of the little magic fairy on the costume should be highlighted and beautiful, and any red, blue and green color scheme can be used. And the Black Devil Immortal ...... Let's match it with hair color!

Film and television works need to leave room for the audience to think, and the plot setting can be more complex and changeable. Correspondingly, the actor's space for display will be wider, and there is naturally depth to speak of.

But the audience of tokusatsu dramas is mostly children, they don't need to have the space to think like adults, they just need the director to tell him which is the good guy and which is the bad guy in the most straightforward way.

Just like the Ultraman series, use a holster to tell the audience that this is a bad guy!

If the concept of good and evil is confused in the tokusatsu drama, leaving room for the audience to think, adults chant "divine drama" and "classic", and children will find it boring, because they can't even distinguish between good and bad people......

The core point of filming special photography is to understand the relationship between good and evil.

Balala Little Demon Fairy has done a good job at this point, the hairstyle, accessories and makeup of the Black Demon Fairy's funeral love style form a strong contrast with the cute and beautiful style of the little demon fairy, which makes people understand at a glance: "Oh! Purple-haired people are not good people!"

Wang Kui has been involved in many TV drama productions before, but this is the first time he has participated in a special effects drama project.

After Meng Lang explained, he was also a smart person, and immediately figured out the stakes, and nodded in approval.

"Demon Fairy Xiaolan is played by a young actor?"

"Meiqi Miyuki can be played by a small actor, why can't the demon fairy Xiaolan?"

This...... That's a tricky question!

After thinking about it, Meng Lang replied: "Not only Xiaolan, but also many supporting roles in the play will be played by young actors. Like the Prince of Amusement, the Black Devil Fairy Satsuki, the Demon Fairy Queen, etc. In fact, it's necessary to include some adult characters appropriately. If it weren't for these characters, the show would have become a bunch of little girls fighting and slapping......"

This is what the character must look like.

Demon fairy Xiaolan came to the world and became the mentor and guide of the two little demon fairies Meiqi Miyuki, such a role, you can't use a little girl of the same age to play, right?

That's a drama!

The same is true for the character settings of the Demon Fairy Queen, the Prince of Pleasure, and the Black Demon Fairy Satsuki, which can be played by small actors, but that must overturn the setting of the entire script, and there is no need to do so at all.

Meng Lang guessed that the reason why the original Balala Little Demon Fairy was played by adult actors except for Meiqi Mixue and Yan Lili should be based on the problem that young actors are difficult to invite.

It's hard to find a little actor!

Especially the young actors who play the leading and supporting roles, it can't be said that they don't have the slightest acting skills, right?

There are few young actors with acting skills, and you can't find a few in the entertainment industry.

Adult actor Hengdian grabbed a handful, this is the difference!
