Chapter 91: Models and Holsters
On the last day of 15 years, "Battle King EX" finally completed post-production and submitted the finished film to Shannan TV.
After the post-production of "Battle King EX" ended, Meng Lang immediately transferred most of the production team elites to devote themselves to a greater cause.
Build a house!
Old man Qiao, the model master, was very dissatisfied with Meng Lang bringing people to help: "Go, go, where did you come from, don't make trouble for me here!"
These stupid people can't even build the building blocks, and it is pure fantasy to expect them to help.
Meng Lang rolled up his sleeves and said to the old man with a smile: "It's not that your old man is working too hard, our group of young people are here to help!"
"No need to ......"
The old man choked and said: "Just give enough funds, you stupid person better get out of here!"
Meng Lang's face darkened.
Why is he stupid? He finally won the little red flower rewarded by the teacher in the kindergarten handicraft class!
Though...... Although everyone has ......
To be honest, Meng Lang is confident in his hands-on ability. But since the old man is not happy, then forget it.
Speaking of funds, Meng Lang couldn't help but complain: "Old man, I have no opinion on your pursuit of excellence, but let's think about the cost, right?"
These models are meant to be destroyed, not to be used as works of art for exhibitions!
It's not good to do it too delicately!
It's too much money!
As the leader of the model team, Old Man Qiao has 20 assistants under him, and the salary expenditure is not low, and the material money has to be counted!
Meng Lang didn't feel sorry for money, mainly because he felt that the old man was doing it too slowly.
One house for a week!
Although the effect is amazing, no matter how far and near you look at it, you can't see any flaws, and you can enjoy it as a work of art!
But still the same sentence!
It's too slow!
It takes a whole 20 people to make a model in a week! This kind of efficiency, no matter which company, can not accept.
"Old man, I'll be honest with you! We don't need such a high-precision model for filming, do you think this requirement is a little relaxed?" Meng Lang discussed.
How about making a street a week, right?
This is Meng Lang's bottom line, if he does it too fast, he is afraid that the fineness is not enough, and if he does it too slowly, he will not be able to catch up with the shooting plan.
Old man Qiao pouted and said, "Are you still going to do the details?" What do you think of making an office building with a layer of paper on the wooden shelves and painting the windows?"
"That's not going to work......"
It's too much to paste a layer of paper on the wooden shelf, and the details must be shown.
Old Man Qiao lit a cigarette, stared at the workbench and said, "The reason why progress is slow now is mainly because I am stumped by traffic lights, billboards and skyscrapers. If you don't do that, you can get faster. ”
When Meng Lang heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Then don't be a skyscraper!"
Skyscrapers are really time-consuming!
The background is set in the modern Jiangchuan, and when filming, the old man also said that he would try his best to restore the Jiangchuan street scene. But the skyscraper slowed down the model-making schedule, so I had to give up.
"Don't you make skyscrapers?"
The old man hesitated: "Then it conflicts with the background setting!"
No conflict!
Meng Lang said with a smile: "It's just like the Jiangchuan street scene ten years ago, and the Jiangchuan ten years ago, there were not so many landmark buildings, and there were fewer skyscrapers than now......
If the cityscape of modern Jiangchuan can be completely restored, it will be great. But since it can't be done, there is no way.
The old man nodded.
"Okay, I'll look for some old photos for reference when I go back! If you don't make skyscrapers, the progress can be greatly accelerated, and the finished product will definitely be produced after the Spring Festival." ”
Meng Lang was relieved.
......
Compared to the model group, the holster group went much more smoothly.
The third version of Ultraman holster fully met Meng Lang's requirements, and the monster holster was also designed, and production began after it was finalized.
The design of the monster holster is definitely much easier than that of Ultraman. After all, the monster holster probably only needs one scene, and after filming, it can be stuffed into the warehouse to eat ashes.
There is no need to think about durability, or even the comfort of a holster actor, it is completely free of courage design.
Many of the original monster holsters follow the design ideas of "Ultra Q", and there are many classic holsters!
For example, Bermuda, the cosmic monster that appears in the first episode, has a leather case that references the characteristics of a spine crawler, with a black-brown body and a hard spiny back covered with spines.
Borrowed from Godzilla to a certain extent!
Whether it is from the styling design or the naming, you can see the shadow of Godzilla. The most speechless thing is the cry of Bermuda...... It's a variant of Godzilla's cry!
What is a special effects factory!
It can't be said that Tsuburaya has no discipline, but it can only be said that Godzilla, as a monster, is too classic, and the design of Godzilla is also a manifestation of pleasing the audience.
And Tsuburaya was really poor at that time.
Even Bermuda's holster was changed to the brainwave monster Yang Ge to continue to use in the future.
It's all the fault of the lack of money!
If you have money, who will fix and modify the leather case? Wouldn't it be better to make a new model directly?
Tsuburaya's habit of changing the leather suit, Meng Lang sympathized with and despised it.
He's not that bad, every monster should have its own holster design, after the filming is over, build a monster museum, and display the holsters according to the number of episodes.
The little ones must be interested!
If you produce an Ultra work, you will build a monster museum. If you look back and sell a ticket for 50 yuan, maybe you can make some money?
When you have money in the future, these monster museums can also develop into "monster paradises"!
Just like Disneyland, there are all kinds of monsters and Ultramans in Pengda Parks all over the world, and from time to time you can take out a lone card from the corner to fight or a little magic fairy......
Tickets are small and visitors are not allowed to bring food and drinks into the park.
Hiss!
The picture is so beautiful!
For the leather case, Meng Lang didn't give much advice.
In addition to the Ultraman holster designed by him, the monster holster is actually not too restrictive, and the holster designer can use his brain to make all kinds of weird and strange styling designs in line with the monster setting.
Of course, this permission is limited to certain unpopular monsters.
Like the cosmic ninja Baltan Star Man, this super classic monster image has to be designed by Meng Lang himself.
The reason why classic monsters are classic, there must be something desirable in the design ideas.
As for those unpopular monsters, the reason why they became unpopular may be that Tsuburaya doesn't pay attention to them, or it may be that there is a problem with the design of the holster.
Then this kind of monster can be left to the designer to play freely.
As long as the design is not too abrupt and inconsistent, you can basically get funds to make samples from Meng Lang.
After the sample of the holster is made, the production team of "Ultraman" will evaluate and review it, and after the review is correct, the holster will be able to appear in the play.
