Chapter 4 Can You Shoot Like That?
After the start-up ceremony, Comrade Meng left the set on the grounds that he was busy with work.
Before leaving, he gave Meng Lang a guarantee.
The yo-yo used in the early stage of shooting, the factory can provide him for free. As for whether to make yo-yos on a large scale after the post-filming is completed, it depends on whether "Firepower Boy King" can sell the broadcast rights.
Regarding the right to broadcast, Meng Lang is not worried.
He didn't plan to make money by selling broadcast rights, so he decided to learn from the original "Fire Boy King" and sell the broadcast rights for free, hoping that the TV station could give the golden broadcast time and strive to make "Yoyo" completely popular.
The original version of "Fire Boy King", after the producer Aofei Animation made the finished film, found a children's channel in a certain place and gave the right to broadcast it for free.
The children's channel thought about it, there is such a good thing that doesn't require money, so he agreed without hesitation, and withdrew a program broadcast in prime time, and began to broadcast "Fire Boy King"!
Is "Fire Boy" of high quality?
The production level of the original version is from Meng Lang's professional point of view, the plot is full of bugs, the lines are too embarrassing, and the actors have a ...... face throughout the whole process
It can be said that the original version of "Firepower Boy King" has countless shortcomings, basically except for the advantages of the novel theme of yo-yo, other places are not as good as the anti-Japanese dramas that have been complained about.
So why is it on fire?
This has to mention the foresight of Aofei Animation, the producer of "Fire Boy King".
Aofei Animation set the development strategy of "animation + toys" early, with the selling point of buying toys and giving away animation, the content first, and then derivatives quickly occupied the market to seize profit margins. Even in the original time and space where piracy and fakes are rampant, Aofei Animation still makes a lot of money with this trick.
The broadcast rights of "Fire Boy King" are free, and the TV station will definitely like the things that don't require money.
The result that TV stations like it is that they don't care if the audience likes it or not, anyway, they don't want money, so they can broadcast it.
The TV station is playing "Fire Boy King" all day and night, just like the brainwashing brain platinum advertisement at the beginning, you can't watch it if you want to watch it or not.
Since you don't have a choice, let's see.
At this point, as long as it's a boy, it's basically going to be very interested in yo-yos.
I was interested, and the next time I went to the mall, I suddenly saw [Firepower Silver Electric S], [Silver Wolf], [Sprint Meteor], and [Psychedelic Year Rings] on sale on the counter......
Who can withstand this?
Who doesn't want to suddenly grab my mother's sleeve at this time, and say softly: "Ma Ma, buy me a psychedelic annual ring!"
Buy toys and give anime to you, do you think it's fun?
Meng Lang's idea is to apply the successful model of Aofei animation in the previous life to this world.
In a world where piracy and fakes are rampant, Ao Fei can make a lot of money with this trick, and there is no reason why in this world with perfect copyright protection, he Meng Lang can't make money!
"Fire Boy King" rushes to the duck!
Eat my silver dragon outside the sky!
......
The filming took place in a summer camp base in Jiangchuan City, which has been contracted by the crew at the moment, and the actors have a yo-yo and have a lot of fun.
As a yo-yo veteran player, although Meng Lang doesn't know many moves, it is more than enough to guide this group of actors.
He Yifan is the protagonist, and there are many scenes in the play that require him to perform yo-yo, which requires him to master the introductory and advanced gameplay of yo-yo to a certain extent.
It's good to say that the introductory gameplay is like sleeping, walking the dog, and other skills, and the difficulty of getting started is infinitely equal to zero.
But if you want to complete the next move, it will take a certain amount of time to hone.
After He Yifan received the exclusive yo-yo, he immediately practiced the moves he commonly used in the play.
At this moment, He Yifan, who was familiar with Lightning Kombat, immediately said to Meng Lang with confidence: "Director, I'm ready!"
Meng Lang, who was directing the cameraman to shoot the vista of the base, heard He Yifan's reply, and immediately called a makeup artist to put on He Yifan's makeup, and said to him: "Then let's shoot a practice first." ”
As he spoke, Meng Lang summoned the group actor who played Mike, Li Fei's old enemy in the play, and explained to him: "Wait for a bigger move, don't be afraid of playing, your eyes must be sharper when you raise your hand......"
After he finished speaking, the crew was ready to take place, and the camera position was moved to the side of the bridge.
Since this lens also needs to be shot from above, Meng Lang also used a drone that is extremely popular on the market.
After everything was ready, He Yifan, who had finished his makeup, appeared in the camera wearing a red team uniform.
“action!”
At the sound of an order, the crew suddenly got busy, He Yifan and the group actor who played Mike walked onto the bridge, looking at each other across the bridge ten meters away.
This close-up shot is extremely easy, as long as you capture the different expressions of the two people.
"It's over!"
Meng Lang shouted, and immediately let people start preparing for the shooting of the next shot.
The next shot, and the one that is most likely to go wrong, is the scene of the two facing off against the yo-yo.
“action!”
He Yifan entered the play very quickly, after all, he is a professional actor, even if his acting skills are a little worse, he can't find fault with his professionalism.
At the beginning of this scene, the two of them had no lines, and they were completely "affectionately looking at each other" and then playing yo-yo awkwardly.
The action of taking the yo-yo needs to be edited in the later stage to complete, after all, the operation of patting the belt yo-yo to the palm of the hand like in the play, how can it be possible to shoot it in real time?
In the process of actual shooting, the yo-yos of the two appeared directly in their hands.
After getting the yoyo, the two of them began a flash of lightning.
The moves of Lightning Kombat are very simple, and they belong to the beginner's move of yo-yo. The specific way to use it is to hold the yoyo vertically with the palm facing back and upward, and then throw the yoyo straight forward, when the yoyo returns to the inside of the arm, turn the wrist to throw the yoyo again, repeat N times.
Although it is an entry-level move, Meng Lang is really afraid that these two people will give him NG countless times.
Although the imperfections of the actors can be corrected by slow play + light effect masking, it is definitely the pursuit of perfection to be perfect.
Fortunately, neither of them disappointed Meng Lang.
The shot of Lightning Kombata was quickly filmed, and at this point, it was time for the two of them to toss the ball high and then say the line words to the extreme.
The lines Meng Lang did not change the original version, although he also thought that this line was too embarrassing, but who made children like this set!
But the big friend doesn't buy toys, so I don't care if he looks embarrassed or not.
I saw that in the camera, He Yifan threw the yo-yo high, raised his right hand high, and shouted: "Red Holy Light!"
The group performance as Mike has the same action, but the line is: "Condor spreads its wings!"
Silent!
Li Fei (firm): "I will definitely surpass you!"
Mike (Gao Leng): "In the eyes of the world, my Western speed play is the strongest!"
Everyone: "......"
The crew was silent for a while.
The corners of Li Wanbo's mouth, who served as the photographer, twitched, and he secretly glanced at the director who raised his eyebrows and showed satisfaction, and couldn't help but sigh.
What is this?
Can that be filmed like this?
Where did this come from?
