Chapter 1090: Meeting
In 841 B.C., Ji Hu, the son of Zhou Tianzi, was expelled by the people, and the state affairs were in charge of the Duke of Zhou and the Zhao Gong, so it was called "the first year of the republic".
This year is the starting point of the Chinese chronicle, and the thousand-year history has been endless ever since.
For this reason, some scholars have proposed to replace the "Christmas year" with the term "republican year", and it is estimated that 2016 should be the year 2858 of the Republic.
Two years ago, Bee Anime published an original color manga called "Visitors from the Western Week", and its theme song was "Republic 2858".
The story of this comic is not novel, but it is a bad reverse crossing routine that has been used in the online literature circle, telling the story of Ji Lu, a noble young man in the Zhou Dynasty, who met the heroine through modern times, and then had various conflicts and various troubles because of accents, cultural customs, concepts and habits. And its uniqueness,It experimentally uses AI-assisted to complete the line drawing、Color、Add background、Add bubbles and other functions,So as to greatly improve work efficiency,Let color comics also be updated day by day。
Relying on high-speed updates, mature painting style, exquisite details, and not too outdated jokes, this comic has achieved quite good results and popularity, and it was TV-enabled last year, launching a TV animation and a web feature film, and its reputation has been further enhanced.
Bee Shadow uses this song of classical and modern collision and integration in the film, not only because the theme is compatible, but also to further expand the value of its original IP.
With his hands clapping in unison, Atletico tilted his head and asked, "Are you relieved?"
In the director's cut, there are still two plots after the performance is completed, but they were cut by Atletico Madrid, the editor, and moved to the back, and now this ending is obviously much neater, and the audience's reaction seems to be very good.
Tang Jiayi smiled on her face, but her tone was not relaxed: "It's not good to say, these are core fans, and passers-by and the audience don't have a clue yet." ”
Atletico smiled and shook his head, the hall lights suddenly dimmed, and the last easter egg appeared on the screen.
He chuckled and quipped, "Hey, your sister is here." ”
Tang Jiayi glanced at him and lowered her voice: "Isn't my sister also your sister?"
"It's a pity it's fake," Atletico shook his head regretfully and looked at the big screen.
With the arrival of the new school year, the High School Attached to the School of Music was renovated and hung up with a red banner that reads "Warmly welcome the new students of the class of 2017".
The six members of the "2.5 Dimension" band gathered at the fountain at the entrance, complaining about the hot weather and looking at the future students through their sunglasses.
Seeing a black Audi driving towards the school gate, several people were still laughing and joking about whether they were driving in the wrong place, and then they saw the car door open, and the leader who came to inspect the school last year bent down and got out of the car, raised his hand and called them.
When I got closer, I saw the driver open the trunk, revealing a trapezoidal flat box more than one meter long inside, and everyone exclaimed, "It's a dulcimer!"
The leader nodded, stretched out his hand and brought a fourteen or fifteen girl to introduce to everyone, she was wearing a tender green jacket, her face was full of curiosity and joy.
The picture freezes, the lights come back on, and this time it's really over.
This plot was originally the end of the feature film, but now it has been moved by Atletico to the back of the subtitles and turned into an ending easter egg, which can be regarded as a supplement and determination of the previous ending, someone came to learn the dulcimer, and the folk music department naturally survived.
was also moved, and there was another episode where the oil residue dragged Chen Jing to the park at night and confessed to her under the witness of mosquitoes and fireflies. This plot of suspected early love was ruthlessly cut by Principal Ma, and it was also made into an easter egg at the end of the film. It's just at the end of another version, but this time it's not visible.
As a pan-two-dimensional movie, this movie has also learned a full number of limited versions of the two-dimensional surrounding circle money routines, according to the different soundtracks and ending easter eggs in the film, the film is divided into eight versions in total, the plot is basically the same and all have been reviewed, and it will be randomly released in theaters across the country.
They dare to do this, but also the credit of today's technological progress, the cost of digital film copy is quite low, even for the country's 8,000 theaters, 40,000 screens with complete copies, only need to use the air next day to send a few thousand mobile hard drives, the cost is only millions, hard drives can be recycled and reused. In this way, even if you get a few more versions, the total cost is still controllable, and it can be accurately distributed according to the region.
Of course, this is just a small way, unless it is a phenomenal movie, few audiences will watch it repeatedly, and multiple versions do not bring much profit, and production and distribution companies are naturally too lazy to use their brains in this regard.
In fact, Bee Ying himself is also not sure, and he is also doing it with the attitude of trying it out, no matter how many people watch the movie repeatedly, it is always right to prepare in advance. Limited to the subject matter, the film takes the route of low ticket prices and low shares, which encourages repeat viewing and also helps to maintain popularity and push up the box office.
Retracting these thoughts, Atletico looked at the presenter who was walking into the screening room.
After a brief opening remarks, the man raised his voice and invited the film's creator and Atletico to the stage.
According to the normal process, the main creator should go to the living room to rest first, sign autographs, take promotional photos, and accept media group interviews by the way, and wait until the movie is over before appearing in the theater to interact with fans, asking some simple questions, giving some gifts and benefits. However, today's screening has a bit of premiere color, and everyone chooses to watch it first.
According to what was said before, the first question was given to the screenwriter Bao Whale, and the hostess was full of acting skills, and she was curious about why she thought of this story.
The latter pointed to herself, saying that she was a member of station b and station 2, she was a senior otaku, and she was also a dulcimer girl back then, and this story came from her own life experience.
The host took the opportunity to ask if there were any prototypes for the plots of water dispenser hot pot, curling iron barbecue, and buying figures to eat soil, and the latter also answered with a smile. Then the next question was thrown to director Wang Ran, asking him what it was like to direct his wife's script, and what he thought of his wife being an otaku.
"Xianchong" is literally translated from the Japanese word "リア充", which originally referred to a person who has a rich and rich real life, and later became another name for a couple and a winner in life. When this word was introduced to the Chinese world, there was another hidden meaning of "the person who inflated his girlfriend on the spot".
Of course, with the current occasion, what netizens want to say should be the second meaning.
Next, the host put the first meaning of Xianchong in front of everyone, she glanced at the heroine Li Qingqing, "If I'm not mistaken, Qingqing is not yet 14 years old, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly became a mess, noisy and shouting, obviously shocked by the heroine of 13. The same is true for netizens, with question marks, exclamation marks, and surprised expressions all over the screen.
Seeing Bao Whale handing the microphone to the little girl, the audience stopped looking at the stage, waiting for her answer.
I saw her shake her head slightly, "I'm 14 years old, and I had my birthday last month." ”
"It's not much close," the host turned to Wang Ran and threw out a new question step by step: "Why did you choose to be lightweight? After all, it's such an age." ”
Wang Ran raised the microphone, "We mainly consider three aspects, the light acting skills have been proven by many works, and there is also the affirmation of the film festival, the youngest and lowest-paid Golden Jue actress, it is very cost-effective to find her." On the other hand, the light appearance height basically meets the requirements, and there is enough time for musical instrument training. In the end, our book is very unique, there are no over-the-top shots in the whole film, and for three reasons, we finally chose her. ”
As for whether this girl is recommended by the Hong Kong circle or something, it's not good to say it in public.
The host nodded clearly, and then looked at the male lead Hu Xianxu, "What about Xiao Hu, why use him?"
Wang Ran raised his left hand, "There are still three reasons, first of all, his age is right, and his acting skills are passable, which can give the film more youthfulness." Secondly, he participated in Wu Lao's 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix', and has a certain understanding of suona art, so let him play the leading role, and there is a layer of inheritance in it. In the end, he was more popular last year, and many people wanted to see him go to high school. ”
According to the previous script, at the end of the film, there is a plot where suona leads the victory of the piano, but there are too few scenes of the boy who plays the suona, and there are only one or two lines in the whole process, which is seriously mismatched with the plot, and the new version of the script merges this role into the male protagonist "oil residue".
Bee Pictures is one of the distribution companies of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", and it is reasonable to donate all the profits of the film to the Wu Tianming Youth Director Fund together with other distributors, and arrange a tribute plot in their new film.
After asking Xiaohu a few more questions, the host threw the topic to the producer and asked the latter to explain the operation of the project.
Although it was the first time to serve as a producer, Tang Jiayi was also generous and not frightened, raised the microphone and said: "About a year ago, I happened to hear that there was such a project, and I felt that the theme of the second dimension was very interesting, so I asked for a relationship to come to the script to read it." Then I was out of control and cheeky to find the boss of An Lejiang and needed to invest in this project. ”
"You mean investment?"
"Well," Tang Jiayi nodded and confirmed, "The initial plan was just to add a small amount of investment to clothing sponsorship." This story is too new and niche, and the box office is likely not to be very good, and we can also help share some of the cost by investing money in it. ”
The host continued to ask: "Then how did it become a leading production by Bee Pictures?"
Producer Tang looked at Atletico Madrid, "It's all the result of someone pandering, he told me that you win this project, and we will take all the product placement ads." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was laughter on and off the stage.
The host stretched out his empty hand, "Let me count, the opening drone, the protagonist's clothes, the phone, computer, mobile phone case, the virtual singer of the game comic exhibition, and the 2 stations full of presence, there are indeed many bee products in the movie." ”
Looking up at Atletico, "Isn't it really all-inclusive?"
The latter shook his head with a smile, "No, Coke, musical instruments, cars, and the water dispenser are all other brands." ”
The answer was so sincere that it caused a burst of laughter again.
The host joked: "Actually, you can buy a few more, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders." ”
Atletico shook his head with a smile, "There is no need for acquisition, but we have cooperated with relevant manufacturers, and the customized version will be launched soon." ”
Seeing that the meeting was about to turn into a product launch, the host hurriedly pulled the topic back, "By the way, Atletico Madrid?"
"Huh?"
"What do you think of this story? I mean the theme of saving folk music. ”
Raising his gaze and sweeping the crowd opposite, Atletico slowly spoke, "To be honest, this theme is a bit heavy, and it can't be solved by just one or two great performances in concerts. And not only folk music, but also Western music and pop music are not having a good time, which is the inevitable result of the development of the times, and manpower cannot avoid it. ”
"Music knows no borders and can be recorded and preserved, so like program code, it has become the easiest product to dump across borders, and the competition is global. In contrast, programmers are a little better off, with new hardware and new demand constantly obsolete old code and old software, and they don't need to worry about losing their jobs until AI programming matures. Musicians are not good, recording works can be constantly ripped, they not only have to compete with their counterparts at home and abroad, but also face the super-temporal blow of the famous old-timers, and there is AI music waiting for them in the future. ”
There was just a messy laugh in the audience, and most people were still thinking about the pessimistic situation described by Atletico.
The topic was out of line, and the host couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you think should be done?"
"The talented people in the music industry have been doing it for a long time, they are good-looking and dance in groups, the songs of the Little Tigers are not outdated, but the dance and modeling are outdated; the fame is big enough to act in variety shows and play games, and the old book can still eat for a long time; the fame is generally singing the theme song, and the song with the drama can always be obtained. ”
The host smiled, "These don't seem to be suitable for folk music and Western music, right?"
Atletico nodded and admitted, "It's really not suitable, classical music emphasizes more auditory enjoyment, dancing and selling jokes can only be icing on the cake, but eating by this is not good." If you want to ask me what I think, you might as well try other routes, on the one hand, you can develop in the direction of film and television soundtracks, game soundtracks, and on the other hand, you can also consider folk, rock, hip-hop, new century, ancient style and other relatively niche music forms, first circle fans and then talk about money, so it is best to find a job that is enough to support yourself first. ”
The host continued, "Just like Chen Jing and them in the movie, they accumulate popularity by making videos, and then earn it back through comic show fees?"
"This is also a road, but it is also not easy to walk, after all, commercial performances at comic conventions are not always there, and it is not easy to become a top up master. However, the demand for film and television game soundtracks is long-term and continuous, unless AI music becomes mature and available. ”
The hostess raised her eyebrows, "AI music grabs jobs?"
"That's right," Atletico Madrid affirmed: "The emergence of composition and arrangement AI will inevitably take away a part of the low-end market, and top masters like Hans Zimmer are almost unaffected, and it is difficult for ordinary musicians to say." Of course, this process will be relatively long and will not appear immediately, and the more niche music is, the less likely it is to produce powerful AI because of the lack of training materials. ”
After everything that needs to be said, Atletico will keep silent.
Seeing the opportunity, the host turned to the audience, invited the audience to ask a few questions, and then announced the end of the meeting and entered the autograph session.
