In the Egret Island Horse House, the family sits around a round table.

September and autumn are high, and the chrysanthemum crab is fattening, and tonight's main dish becomes steamed hairy crab.

The crab meat is delicious, but it is protected by a carapace on the outside, which is not only troublesome to cook, but also a little inconvenient to eat.

There are two ways to eat crabs, martial arts and literary food, martial arts pay attention to fun and refreshing, directly chop the pieces and pick up the meat to eat. Wen Shi emphasizes meticulousness in place, and likes to use a whole set of tools to ponder slowly, with the goal of solving the battle in two hours.

In front of each of the two couples, there is a set of "eight crabs" with a silver light, obviously planning to "eat".

"Eight pieces of crab" is a popular name, the specific composition is not completely fixed, the small square table, waist hammer, long-handled axe, spoon, long-handled fork, tweezers, crab needle, scissors set used by the Atletico couple.

In the expectant eyes of the little guys opposite, Tang Jiayi picked up a crab, picked up the scissors, cut off the crab legs, put them on a plate and handed them to Atletico next to her, and she dealt with the fluff on the crab claws. The scientific name of hairy crabs is Chinese mitten crab, and their long-haired pincers are the biggest feature that distinguishes them from sea crabs.

Atletico Madrid's speed is not slow, as soon as the eight crab legs are sent to the front, he pinched the crab needle and poked out the shredded meat inside, and put it in front of the little guy with tweezers, one person with two legs. When eating crabs, we have to start with the crab legs, then the crab claws, and finally the crab body and crab roe with the best taste.

It's a pity that the cultivation of these little guys on the other side is not enough, and the meat strips have just been put in front of them, and they immediately peck the children's chopsticks, and they will be snatched up in a few seconds. Fortunately, this batch of crabs is of good quality, and the chef of Subang cuisine specially invited is good at making crabs, even if it is not stained with sauce and vinegar dipping sauce, it still has a unique flavor.

Seeing them so anxious, Tang Jiayi habitually frowned and was about to scold, but Ma Atletico shook his head with a smile, and divided the crab claw meat that had just been removed into four and put it on the plate in front of Sixiao.

"You're going to get used to them!"

Throwing her husband a look of annoyance, Tang Jiayi picked up the waist hammer and vented her anger on the crab shell. When the shell lid was loosened, she picked up a long-handled axe to break open the belly shell, and then handed the crab body to Atletico for him to carry out the subsequent internal organs and division operations.

Atletico Madrid's eyesight is precise and his hands are dexterous, and he is very handy at doing these delicate tasks, and soon dug out the crab meat and crab roe and divided it into six parts, and everyone shared a little in front of them.

In this way, the family cooperated with each other and slowly ate up a drawer of crabs, leaving only a pile of empty shells.

The snack sellers were only half-full, and when they saw their parents stop, they straightened up and looked at the steamer.

Ma Xiaowei touched her little belly, "Dad, are there any crabs?" ”

"And, of course," Atletico smiled and nodded, picking up a plate and putting it in front of his daughter, "don't you think that's it?"

When the children heard this, they were all surprised, but when their chopsticks touched the crab, the red carapace was scattered and separated, but it was an empty shell.

The little ones have long been accustomed to being teased by their fathers since they were children, and soon forgot to eat half-full, picked up the small chopsticks and fiddled with the carapace fragments in front of them. Because the template has been broken, they can only reorganize according to their impressions, and the crabs they reorganize look different.

Atletico didn't correct him, just smiled and asked them how to move, how to breathe, how to swim, how to eat, as long as they could justify themselves, they could get his praise.

Put away the other tableware and sundries and hand them to the robot and send them back to the kitchen, Tang Jiayi picked up her mobile phone and wanted to take a picture of this warm scene.

It's a pity that the young actors are very unprofessional, and they got tired of the storytelling game of the group parts after a few minutes of filming, and their little heads were tired little by little.

After settling the children, the couple had some free time.

Handing his wife a cup of hot milk, Atletico proposed, "By the way, I'm going to watch the film, do you want to come along?"

Atletico Madrid, the "chief experience officer", is not just a self-proclaimed empty title, he will try his best to experience the new products launched by Bee, and can always put forward pertinent suggestions for modifications. Although it can't enhance the artistic value of the film, his normal aesthetics and powerful plug-ins can help eliminate line loopholes, flaws and goofs in the shots, and effectively improve the completion of the film.

Because it involves surveying and selecting scenes, artificial scenery and post-production special effects, Bee Shadow's "Fengshen List" project was only roughly completed recently, and then the sample was sent to Ludao as usual, waiting for Boss Ma's inspection.

Tang Jiayi turned her head to look at him, "Your god list?"

"Fengshen Bang", also known as "Romance of Fengshen", was written in the late Ming Dynasty, the author is said to be Xu Zhonglin, and some scholars believe that it is Lu Xixing, a Taoist priest in the Ming Dynasty.

No matter who the author is, the story of the gods is actually the same as "Water Margin", "Three Kingdoms", and "Journey to the West", and it is not a work that can be completed in a short time by a single person. Their origins were all developed civil society in the Song Dynasty, which developed and expanded in restaurants, restaurants, restaurants, and storytellers, and were eventually favored by literati and private booksellers in the Ming Dynasty.

Although because of the disparagement of some foolish and filial literati, "The Romance of the Gods" was not selected as the "Four Great Strange Books of the Ming Dynasty", and then failed to be selected as the "Four Great Masterpieces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties", the significance of this one is not as good as erasing. It is precisely because of the popularity of "Fengshen Bang" and "Journey to the West" that the belief in immortals originally scattered all over the country has been gathered and unified and has become a cultural symbol of the entire nation.

This story originally came from the folk, which naturally conformed to the simple aesthetic views of the common people, and was always welcomed by the masses. Since modern times, the story of "Fengshen" has been put on the screen many times, among which the 90th version of "Fengshen List" produced by Modu TV is the most famous.

In 1987, Modu TV set up a TV drama production center, in addition to introducing foreign TV dramas, it also tried to produce its own.

In 1989, Modu TV and Thailand's CP Group jointly established CP Variety Show Company to produce "CP Variety Show" that influenced a generation.

In 1990, the TV drama center brought in a variety show company to cooperate (in fact, it was an investment and money) and began to produce 36 episodes of "Fengshen Bang".

At first, the TV drama production center was able to receive funding from the TV station, but then it gradually became self-financing. In order to ensure that the series can be popular, Director Kwok not only tried to use young actors against public opinion, but also found a way to invite Hong Kong Island actors and behind-the-scenes teams, and finally invited mainland singers and Hong Kong Island singers to sing the theme song "The Legend of God" respectively.

Because of the social environment at the time, although the special effects technology of this drama is limited to the times and seems false, it has an unexpectedly large scale, skeletons, ghosts, and severed limbs continue to appear, which is unimaginable to the audience who watched the fox demon Nie Xiaoqian and Yang Yuhuan with cut breasts in later generations.

When it comes to scale, in fact, the 88 version of "Fengshen List" is actually better. The investor and artistic director of this drama is Director Wu of Western Film, who has single-handedly discovered many big directors, and the plot is relatively close to the original work, full of elements that ordinary people like to see. It's a pity that because the content is too low-riba, it was banned after only 5 episodes were broadcast on TV. Later, in order to shoot "New Fengshen", Atletico specially asked someone to contact Sanqin TV Station and turned out the videotape from the warehouse that had been dusted for decades for the reference of the work team.

Of course, the times are different after all, and it is impossible for Bee Shadow to repeat the old path of the two versions of "Fengshen" in the 90s, so he can only downplay all kinds of torture and nudity, and replace them with safer Qili spells and action scenes.

Chatting behind the scenes, the Atletico couple walked to the screening room on the first floor.

After verifying the hardware key and biometric password, the room lights dimmed and a movie appeared on the screen.

The film has not yet been finalized, there is no radio and television dragon logo in front of it, there are no patch advertisements and titles, and the feature film appears directly after the customary corporate logo.

The mountains are high, the forests are deep, the grass is dense, the rivers are shallow, and the valleys only hear the sound of birds and beasts, but there are no traces of people, horses and carriages.

According to archaeological research, 3,000 years ago, the northern hemisphere was in a high temperature period, with an average temperature of 2.5 degrees Celsius higher than now, and there were subtropical organisms such as bamboo and buffalo in the north of the Qinling Mountains. Coupled with the fact that there was less human activity, the areas and abundance of wildlife were much larger than in modern times.

In the grass by the river, two brown roe deer were grazing, and suddenly they all looked up at the camera behind them, and some ugly roe deer appeared in horror, and then turned around and ran away.

Immediately afterwards, three men in ancient costumes broke into the camera, without looking at the fleeing roe deer, and went straight west along the riverside road, they were neatly dressed and their hands and feet were fast, but they were scouts who came forward.

After a while, a large army of more than 1,000 people walked into the camera, wearing short-sleeved cloth clothes and stepping on straw sandals, hanging armor and holding spears, hammers and shields with various weapons, and dark red blood stains could be vaguely seen on the armor, obviously after a hard battle to come here.

As early as the preliminary preparation stage, the crew specially recruited actors and actresses to conduct physical fitness and ancient battle formation training, trying to cultivate a fierce and bloody spirit that is difficult for ordinary group performers to have. Although there are not many well-known movie stars in this film, the cost of the actors is not small, and the money is spent on these details.

Undoubtedly, the final result did not disappoint, this unit looked like an elite of a hundred battles, not a country soldier who walked with his head down.

However, Tang Jiayi didn't pay attention to these, her eyes just chased the costumes on the actors.

The clothes on these characters are neither the common cross-collared large sleeves and crowns in costume film and television dramas, nor the "90 version" of the round-necked robe with short hair and headbands, but a new design in between, Guyunzhai is one of the many manufacturers, as the boss of the company, of course, Mr. Tang should pay more attention to his own works.

Limited by the level of productivity and collective aesthetics, the clothing of the ancients in the Shang and Zhou dynasties could not be completely consistent with those of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. The Bee Shadow Fengshen crew chose to learn like the "90 version", adding their own reasonable imagination on the basis of referring to historical relics.

The "90 version" is full of ancient Roman and Thai elements because of Thailand's Zhengda investment, and the clothing, hairstyle and architectural style are deliberately referenced to the elements of ancient Rome and Thailand.

What's more, the world of "Fengshen" is, after all, a perfunctory world of gods and demons based on the history of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in "The Romance of the Gods", and the existence of fairy mana will inevitably have an impact on the clothing, food, housing and transportation of ordinary people, especially the aristocratic class, which should be reflected.

Bee Film and Television specially commissioned the Department of Archaeology and the Costume Research Institute of the University to set up a costume preparation group, and began to prepare the costumes a year in advance, as close as possible to the historical facts, but also there are certain reasonable inferences and artistic exaggerations, forming their own unique artistic style. Because the number of costumes finalized was too large, the tailors of the institute were too busy, and finally entrusted Guyunzhai and other companies to help make them, and these costume companies have experience in making costumes, but the completion is not bad.

Not long after moving forward, a gate city standing between mountains appeared in front of them, blocking everyone's way.

Without the orders of their superiors, the thousand-strong team dispersed on its own, opening its bow in front to harass the enemy, and accelerating behind it to catch up and enter the attack position. When the bull-riding man surrounded by his generals rushed to the front line, the siege battle full of savage atmosphere began immediately.

This man is Huang Feihu.

The seventh generation of the Huang family is loyal and good, and his daughter enters the palace as a concubine, Huang Feihu is a mere mortal, and Wen Taishi, who was born under the door of the Holy Mother of Jin Ling, is called the Great Shang Pillar Stone, and he was even named the king of Zhenguo Wucheng, which can be described as proud.

It's a pity that the scenery of the past has dissipated far away, and when he heard that his wife and sister were killed by the king of Zhou, Lao Huang suddenly threw aside the minister gang of "the king wants to die", and brazenly led a thousand generals, as well as the second brother, the third son, and the fourth friend, all the way to break the checkpoint, intending to defect to the Xiqi forces on the other side of the Yellow River.

Except for Huang Tianhua, the eldest son of the true monarch of pure and void morality, Huang Feihu's family is just mortals. However, Lao Huang has the divine beast mount "Five-Colored Sacred Cow", and his combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

And his brothers, nephews and even generals are not ordinary people in the conventional sense, but the battles on the screen give people the feeling that super soldiers are fighting. The defender can grab a large boulder and throw it for dozens of meters with his bare hands, and the attacker can climb the wall directly with his bare hands without a ladder or a building, which is also not good.

After a short time, the generals of the Huang family led a group of private soldiers to climb the wall and start a final hand-to-hand fight with the defenders.

Tang Jiayi didn't dare to be interested in the fight scenes, but she paid attention to other things, "These stones and wood are special effects, right?"

"Well," Atletico raised an eyebrow, "do you see it?"

"No, it's done too well, and it doesn't look like a foam prop in all aspects, but it looks weird, after all, normal people can't move those big guys. ”

"These are real guys made of stone and hardwood, and only four strong men in the crew can lift a piece together, and they usually use forklifts and trucks to move. ”

"Huh?" Although she was prepared in her heart, Tang Jiayi was still shocked by the extravagance of the Bee Shadow God crew, "This is too exaggerated, right?"

"What is this, the big head is still behind," Atletico raised his hand and nodded at the screen, "The online game equipment and special effects have been used up by Lei Zhenzi, so we have to play movie stunts instead." ”

The use of special effects is to achieve special effects, the two words originally had similar meanings, but there are differences in use, stunts usually refer to pyrotechnics, machinery, wire, miniature, special makeup and other on-site facilities and technologies, while special effects are more focused on keying synthesis, 3D modeling, image rendering and other computer post-production technology, almost become the abbreviation of CG special effects.

CG effects can theoretically replace live stunts, but in practice they are difficult to do, and they often need to be used in conjunction to achieve the best price-performance ratio. If the on-site stunts are not in place, the simple CG special effects can easily be reduced to a very fake "5 gross special effects".
