Chapter 206: Progress Together (Part II)

When the time came to late April, the script and sub-shots of the TV series that Peng Yichen planned to shoot were finally completed.

The co-production negotiations between Chen Jing Film Company and Chang'an Film Studio have basically entered the final stage.

That's when the Kyoto University Student Film Festival opened.

As a special guest, Peng Yichen attended the opening ceremony.

The college student film festival in China is special, and it takes 3 months before it finally closes.

So, the next morning, Peng Yichen took off his dress and leather shoes, put on casual clothes and sneakers, and became an ordinary student at the Kyoto Film Academy again.

He spends most of his days on the university campus during the day, and returns to his villa at night to stay with Yu Jing.

This time he entered Kyoto University of Movies and Television, and he learned a lot about film special effects and digital technology, which is what he feels has gained the most.

Of course, he is an actor and director, not a special effects artist or programmer, and he is not learning specific computer special effects techniques.

It's more about learning how to work with special effects crews to make and shoot those VFX blockbusters.

Digital technology is a film revolution, truly liberating the various restrictions of film shooting, Peng Yichen hopes that through his own efforts and dedication, he can break a way for Chinese films to break out of the way of special effects films.

This knowledge also provided him with a lot of inspiration when creating and designing the storyboards of the new TV series.

This allows him to fully understand what special effects technology to use and how to shoot to achieve the effect he wants to perform and the picture he wants to shoot from the perspective of an actor and director.

After another half a month, he learned a lot of technologies about computer imaging, motion capture, virtual shooting, etc., and has basically figured out and learned the top special effects technology and level in Huaxia.

Far beyond his imagination, Huaxia's current technical level, the level of special effects production is not much lower than Hollywood.

This is due to the fact that China's national strength far exceeds that of its previous life, and its investment in information and digital technology is very high, so the relevant technologies are relatively advanced.

However, the relative lag is that Huaxia Film Company's investment in this area is too small, and the attention to special effects technology is too low. The cost of a movie is more than 100 million Chinese coins, and most of these 100 million miles are paid to stars.

If this continues, sooner or later, the Chinese film market will be completely occupied by Hollywood films.

This is also the main reason why Peng Yichen worked hard to learn these special effects shooting knowledge.

After this time, I studied at the Kyoto Film Academy.

He feels that he has benefited a lot, and if he suddenly wants to make a special effects blockbuster now, he will not be at a loss about how to direct and how to act.

……

"Yu Jing, have you noticed, during your performance, you often subconsciously make a few expressions or movements. On the sofa in the living room of the villa, Peng Yichen looked at the center of the living room, and his face was full of seriousness Yu Jing.

He imitated Yu Jing's expression just now and said, "This is one." ”

I saw that his face was full of shyness, and then he rolled his eyes.

Yu Jing was amused by his appearance, but had to admit that he learned too similarly, not on the surface, but like a girl rolling her eyes in her bones.

"This expression, when it comes to young women, fits the character very well. But for many mature women, such expressions and movements are not accurate enough. ”

Then, he tilted his head slightly again and smiled sweetly.

Then he said, "This is your second habitual move. When I express happiness and joy, I always make this action unconsciously. ”

Yu Jing smiled suspiciously: "Isn't this action right?"

Peng Yichen thought for a while and said with a smile: "There is no difference between right and wrong in performance, but to see whether it conforms to the characteristics and hearts of the characters themselves." To create different characters, you must not use the same small movements, otherwise you will not be able to express the real characteristics of the characters, and how can you convince the audience of your performance?"

Yu Jing nodded silently and said thoughtfully, "I know, I need to further strengthen my control over my expressions and movements." ”

"Look, this is your third habitual expression, every time you think about a problem, you purse your lips tightly......" Peng Yichen immediately pointed out her third expression that often appears in performances.

Seeing Yu Jing's distressed face, Peng Yichen smiled and pulled her back to the sofa.

"It's important to be quiet, to have control over your body and your expressions when performing. But the most important thing is the understanding and perception of the characters' hearts. The authenticity and naturalness of the performance does not come from how much you know about the character, but whether you really identify with the character's behavior and psychological ......"

It's a game that the two of them have been doing almost every night for the past two months – "You perform, I'll find faults."

Peng Yichen asked the question, Yu Jing performed, and then he gave his own suggestions and opinions, and sometimes, he also performed a part himself, so that Yu Jing could experience the feeling of creating a character.

may be because there is no nomination for Best Actress in the nominations of "Beautiful Life" at the Yanhuang Film Festival this time.

This incident brought her a lot of excitement.

In the past few months, her emphasis on acting training has skyrocketed.

After continuous training like this, I don't know if it's an illusion or it's true, Peng Yichen feels that Yu Jing's acting skills have improved significantly.

From the beginning, I could only act through my true colors, and I could only perform with a few fixed expressions and movements, but now I know how to experience the emotional changes of the characters, replace them with my own emotions, and then perform them with precise movements and expressions.

Now Yu Jing's performance has basically reached the first-class level among young Chinese actresses.

At the same time, the negotiations between Chen Jing Film Company and Chang'an Film Studio were basically over.

The two parties agreed to co-produce a TV series, and the screenwriter and director are still Peng Yichen.

The filming crew was jointly formed by Chang'an Film Studio and Chen Jing Company.

The total investment in the TV series is 80 million yuan.

Among them, Chen Jing Film Company invested 65 million yuan, and Chang'an Film Studio invested 15 million yuan.

After the TV series is filmed, it will be promoted to major TV stations.

If there is no TV station willing to buy, Chang'an Film Studio is responsible for communicating with Shaanxi West TV Station to ensure that the TV series is broadcast normally.

In fact, Chang'an Film Studio couldn't even take out the 15 million, and finally mortgaged the assets in the factory, so it borrowed 15 million from the bank for the filming of the TV series.

Wei Qi'an, the current director of Chang'an Film Studio, on the day he signed a co-production agreement with Sun Yizou, looked at the generous new office space of Chen Jing Film Company, and watched Sun Yizou lightly transfer 65 million to the crew's account, and he didn't know what it was like for a while.

In any case, he knows that the tide of the times is rolling in, and Chang'an Film Studio can no longer catch up with the development of this era.

Only a new type of film company like Chen Jing Film Company is the hope for the future of Huaxia Film.
