365 New style brewing
That night, Luoyang invited Mai Yingjie to the studio as a guest.
Due to the popularity of "Langya Bang", the status of Mai Yingjie as a director is also rising, although it cannot be compared with Gong Xin, who has expanded his territory on the big screen, but at least in the field of small screens, Mai Yingjie is already a relatively top batch.
And because of the successful cooperation with Luoyang, the two have a good personal relationship now, and when they heard that Luoyang asked for their help, they agreed without saying a word.
"I just wanted to make a short martial arts film. ”
Luoyang said that only by coming up with a new style of martial arts shooting methods can companies seeking copyright realize the huge market for martial arts novels.
He wants the audience of the Dragon Kingdom to get out of the realistic martial arts of the past and truly experience the bizarre world of martial arts.
"I know that what I want to shoot is the picture of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow two swordsmen fighting the top of the Forbidden City, and it just so happens that I have read this novel of yours. ”
In fact, Mai Yingjie also has some itchy hands, he has watched "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", and when he saw the plot of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, he couldn't help himself with excitement, and he also fantasized about what the effect of filming this plot would be.
"The image I want to shoot may not be quite what you think. Luo Yang said thoughtfully.
Mai Yingjie smiled: "Those of us who have worked together once, don't talk about this, of course your novel is your understanding is deeper, let's say, what kind of picture do you want, I will let the photographer shoot, and the overall style is still up to you to decide." ”
Luoyang didn't talk nonsense, or that this time he came prepared.
The foundation of the art department gave him a good display space, and Luoyang took out a stack of 4A paper, which was full of pictures: "This is probably the picture I want." ”
This was rushed out of Luoyang in the afternoon, and the painting was very attentive.
Mai Yingjie took Luoyang's painting, and his face was stunned: "This ...... This turned out to be a storyboard script, Mr. Luo, you learn things very quickly, you didn't even be able to come up with a storyboard script when you filmed "Langya Bang". ”
"Let's see. Luo Yang smiled modestly.
After all, he became an assistant director once, and he also learned a lot of director knowledge, and there are so many things in common between storyboard scripts and comics, it is actually not difficult for Luoyang.
Soon, Mai Yingjie let out an exclamation, pointed to a picture in the picture and said: "Luoyang, you have a strong sense of this picture, the composition you use is really amazing, and it seems to be different from the usual martial arts films......
Mai Yingjie knows that Luoyang has produced comic works, and he is still a student of the art department, and his painting skills are not bad.
But after really seeing the picture of Luoyang's painting, Mai Yingjie couldn't help but admire - this young teacher Luo is really too demonic.
In the picture, there are two swordsmen facing each other at the highest point of the Forbidden City, on the left is a cold man in a black robe and a shawl with long hair, and on the right, there is an iceberg man in white clothes and an equally indifferent temperament.
The duel between two peerless swordsmen was already thrilling.
The huge moon seems to be within reach, and this is the finishing touch, and it may even be necessary to use post-production.
Mai Yingjie sighed and admired: "This picture is definitely worth shooting, the left is Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, and the right is the sword god Ximen Blowing Snow, the duel between the two of them must have a theme picture, it's beautiful, I like it." ”
"There's more to come. Luoyang said with a smile.
When Mai Yingjie heard this, he continued to watch it with anticipation.
And when he saw that the two swordsmen had flown into the sky, and the two swords were frantically entangled, Mai Yingjie's expression had changed: "Is this scene really okay, Mr. Luo, they have flown more than three meters, and through the picture, I feel that the two of them have stayed in the air for so long......"
I thought that Luoyang's martial arts would be different from others.
But who knows, it's not like this anymore.
With the inherent thinking of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, even if it is martial arts, it must conform to the logic of the human body.
But in fact, whether it is Ye Gucheng's Flying Immortals from the Sky, or Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi Finger, or Xiao Daxia's Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descent, etc., they all violate the common sense and logical thinking of physics.
Luo Yang smiled and asked: "Don't you think, isn't this very handsome, and it is very in line with the audience's fantasy of the decisive battle for the top of the Forbidden City?"
"That's what I said, but I'm afraid ......" Mai Yingjie frowned, and he still felt very bottomless in his heart, will this kind of picture be filmed to cause the audience's bombardment, you must know that this is completely breaking the conventions of martial arts dramas and exaggerating the strength of individuals infinitely.
"Director Mai, think about the description in the novel. Luoyang said.
Mai Yingjie was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Luoyang thoughtfully: "In the description of the novel, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are terrifying, and the two of them are not even afraid of thousands of troops and horses, so what do you mean...... Unreasonableness is the most reasonable. ”
"That's right. Luo Yang nodded: "You let two of the strongest people in the world hold swords and slash each other on the roof, like hooligans fighting, what else does it mean, I want the rationality of the plot, not the logic of the picture." ”
For the audience acceptance of the new style, Luoyang has full confidence.
Because the reform in the previous life has been successful, it will undoubtedly be easy to prove it for the second time.
"But these pictures you gave are difficult to shoot...... Mai Yingjie added, he thought it was just a simple video for Luoyang, but he didn't expect that these pictures would be a challenge for his directorial career, he has never shot this style of martial arts film.
In the entire Dragon Kingdom, there is no director who will have experience in the shooting method of this kind of martial arts film.
And the picture of Luoyang must be completed by Hanging Weiya, in the work of the crew, it is difficult to shoot with Hanging Weiya.
"That's why I'm looking for your help, otherwise any advertising director can help me do it. Luoyang said with a smile, fortunately, what needs to be shot is such a small video, which does not take too much energy, if it is really a TV series, Mai Yingjie may not dare to shoot it.
"You're giving me a big problem......"
Mai Yingjie smiled bitterly while continuing to flip through the manuscript, and when he saw a certain scene behind, Mai Yingjie suddenly opened his mouth wide: "You are crazy!"
Luoyang looked down and found that Mai Yingjie was referring to a picture of Ye Gucheng using the sky to fly immortals - only to see Ye Gucheng's body turned into a phantom, only the sword light was flickering, and in the gorgeous rhyme of the moonlight, there were several Dunhuang mural-like fairies flying!
Impact, absolute impact - such a picture, subconsciously let the words flying immortals out of the sky flash in my mind.
Mai Yingjie swore that he had never seen such a frenzied martial arts with special effects, and if he were to change to the martial arts of the past, he would definitely not express the so-called flying immortals in such a subversive way.
Luoyang: Is this sure that he is drawing martial arts sub-shots, not comics?
"You just have to be responsible for shooting the picture, and find someone to do the special effects in the post-production. Luoyang knew that Mai Yingjie would definitely hesitate, after all, such a shooting style was unheard of and broke the inertia of people's understanding.
Mai Yingjie was still full of shock.
After a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Cheng, although it is difficult, it may not be impossible to shoot, I also want to try the effect - because this picture is really beautiful, although it is different from the usual style, but I have to admit that it is very chic and domineering in all aspects!"
