Chapter 862: Unicorn Immortal Kabuda
The hostess is back!
The gossip from Yang Ping, the "secretary of the chairman", soon spread throughout the PD group. Including the employees of major subsidiaries, they have also heard a little.
They're so excited!
Before Tao Mi retired, as a popular female star who was popular all over the country, her fans were all over the world, and even PD had many of her fans.
They even formed a "support group".
However, since its establishment, the "Taomi Fan Support Group PD Branch" has been suppressed and bullied by Mr. Meng and has been on the verge of disbandment.
If it weren't for Tao Mi who couldn't stand it, and pulled Meng Lang's ear and told him not to bully his fans, this support group might have ceased to exist.
can withstand the "boss suppression", and the fans of the support group who have persisted until today are all "hardcore fans", and there may be how many Taomi peripherals there are at home.
That's why they are so excited about the news of "Tao Mi's comeback".
But they didn't expect it......
The idol made a comeback this time, not to return to the film industry, but to engage in behind-the-scenes work and transform into a director.
"It's okay, the director is okay!"
"Whether it's Mimi's drama or Mimi's drama, I will continue to support it!"
"I'm the same!"
After learning that the boss lady is coming back this time and is about to direct the orthodox sequel to the PD classic "Balala Little Demon Fairy", and a large number of crew members are urgently needed, the employees have enthusiastically signed up, hoping to film with their idols.
By the way, Wang Kui also signed up.
When Meng Lang heard the news, he was very happy on the surface, and said that supporting his wife's work is supporting his work.
In fact, secretly, he had already given Wang Kui a small notebook.
Wang Kui, two or five boys!
If Wang Kui's backstab was expected by Meng Lang, then Li Wanbo's backstab was completely beyond Meng Lang's expectations.
"It's all the other way around!"
In addition to being angry, Meng Lang was also a little panicked.
With so many PD elites actively joining, won't it really be able to change the tragic fate of "The Mystery of Notes" and bring this work back to life, right?
"Impossible!"
Ma Teng, a hardcore henchman, shook his head and said, "If the mystery of musical notes wants to succeed, the only way is to invite the original team to come back." But now, none of the original characters came, and the actors were all new faces......"
That's right, that's right!
The reason why the original "The Mystery of the Notes" failed was not only the sparse plot and costumes, but also the problems of the actors.
Even if Tao Mi has done a good job in screenwriting and service, without the return of the original cast, the audience still doesn't buy it.
Thinking of this, Meng Lang was relieved.
......
"Iron Armor Little Treasure" has been started, and the filming location is located in a modern town southeast of Jiangchuan.
The scenery here is very good.
Moreover, although it is administratively divided into "townships", it is the economic center of the Yangtze River Delta after all, and the prosperity of the town is no worse than that of the inland county.
BBA models can be found everywhere on the streets.
Meng Lang's crew rented several private houses, as well as the town's primary school, to serve as a temporary base for the crew. It's summer vacation, and renting a venue is quite simple, but if it is delayed until the start of school, it will not be easy to do.
The plot of Kabuda originated when the Gaoyuansi family moved into the city, and Xiao Rang opened the box given to him by his grandfather and obtained the unicorn fairy Kabuda robot......
This is also the first scene of the crew's start-up.
The original Gao Yuan Temple Jean, that is, Xiao Rang, was changed to "Xiao Ming" in the PD version, and the full name was "Gao Ming".
Doubt it!
This is the name given by Meng Tsai again......
Xiao Ming's family moved into the city to settle down, and his mother confiscated Xiao Ming's comics and told him to clean up his room.
Xiao Ming was in the room and found the box that his grandfather gave him, and when he opened it, it was actually a small round ball. The ball glowed green, and it turned into a strange tent-like machine. With a loud noise, a dazed Kabuda emerged from the strange machine.
So far, the shooting has gone smoothly.
But the subsequent conversation between Kabuda and Xiao Ming, including his grandfather's explanation of the "Peace Star", became a major problem for Meng Lang.
No one believes it......
Kabuda has an emoji system!
Not only Kabuda, but the robots that appear in "Iron Armor", whether they are good or bad, all have vivid expression settings.
The eye and mouth movements are the most obvious.
The mouth movement is easy to say with the device inside the holster.
Can the eyes change......
This setting was considered at the beginning of the design of the leather case. So Kabuda's "face" is not connected to the body. Through the operation of the leather suit actor, it is possible to not only "manually change faces", but also manipulate "eyebrows" activities.
But design belongs to design, and when it is really used, it is found that there are many problems.
The most obvious problem: latency!
When filming began, Meng Lang signaled that the actor in the holster could change his eyes, but he often had to wait 2-3 seconds to do so.
The reaction has been swift.
After all, it takes a certain amount of time for the leather suit actor to "receive instructions" and then complete the corresponding actions.
But Meng Lang was not very satisfied.
In order to cooperate better, he can only estimate the time and instruct the holster actor in advance, so that he can shoot the most perfect effect in one shot.
It's a waste of time.
finally finished filming the scene where Xiao Ming and Kabuda met for the first time, and the next scene made everyone scratch their heads again.
Scorpion Lyle and Spider Detective took advantage of the chaos to steal the moving company's truck, which contained the luggage of Xiao Ming's family, and Kabuda and Xiao Ming went to chase after them......
You don't need to drive for this scene!
Footage of the truck driving can be replaced by a professional driver. Anyway, when shooting, you only need to shoot the scorpion Lailai and the spider detective staying in the car.
Here's the problem......
The truck doesn't need a holster actor to drive it, they just need to get into the cab and make the maneuvers of driving the car.
It's just that the truck cab is too cramped for the holster actor to get into. forcibly squeezed in, and the effect of the shot is not good.
What to do?
"Why don't we get another one?"
"I remember Fengyun Automobile, there is a truck with a lot of headroom......"
That's all there is to it.
Meng Lang nodded, and then waited for a full day before waiting for a new truck head to finish filming this scene.
There was a joke halfway through.
The truck stopped suddenly, and the spider detective asked curiously, "Why did you stop?"
The scorpion Lailai replied: "There is a pedestrian crossing the road in front of you, and if you don't give way to the pedestrian, what should you do if you are caught by the traffic police?"
"But we're in a hurry to run!"
"Hurry up, old man!"
This scene was filmed at a traffic light intersection in the town.
Meng Lang originally wanted to arrange a few extras to play the role of pedestrians crossing the road, but during filming, someone crossed the cordon and broke into the set, and just happened to take a shortcut to cross the road.
The effect of the show is here at once!
The people crossing the street didn't notice the camera at all, and thought it was a car accident before they pulled up the cordon. Faced with a motionless truck, he glanced curiously.
And then......
The scorpion Lyle and the spider detective in the cab waved their hands, causing them to flee in fright, and everyone laughed at them.
