Chapter 160: Finished
Zhao Zhenghao's version of Ning Caichen's appearance, although it is not a major event in this film, is still very important to highlight the character of Ning Caichen.
Through a series of performances after he was kidnapped by mountain bandits, it can be seen that his character is not as chivalrous and heroic as he was at the beginning, with the cowardice that some scholars are used to, and the submissiveness of people at the bottom of society.
Although Ning Caichen is dressed as a scholar and obviously has gone to school, but from the point where he has fallen to the point of collecting accounts for others, it can be seen that he has not achieved any fame at present, and he may not even be a child, otherwise he would not have done this businessman's business.
However, after all, it is a person who has read books, and there are still some people who read books in their bones, and they think very highly of themselves subconsciously.
Fortunately, he is still young, he has not encountered many setbacks, and he also has an open-minded personality, and his self-esteem has not yet been transformed into complaining.
In Zhao Zhenghao's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's acquaintance and acquaintance went through a gradual process, and they made a detailed explanation, not as superficial as the original version.
It was in this process of getting along that Nie Xiaoqian slowly learned about Ning Caichen's temperament, saw his inherent goodness and reliability, and made up her mind to entrust him with her life, and in order to pursue a better future, she absolutely resisted her grandmother's oppression.
If it weren't for the confirmation that Ning Caichen was a trustworthy person, she would not have risked her soul being scattered and never being able to live forever, had a personal affair with Ning Caichen, and pinned her hope of salvation on him alone.
In case Ning Caichen is a person with a honey-bellied sword, two ends of the first rat, and a ruthless person, then Nie Xiaoqian will really be doomed!
Therefore, although Ning Caichen has such and such problems, in essence, he is still a good person, a trustworthy and trustworthy person, which is also the basis for Nie Xiaoqian to finally be able to get together with him.
A person's personality will never have only one side, even if it is a character created in a movie, Zhao Zhenghao spent so much effort in order to show the multifaceted character of Ning Caichen, and did not hesitate to change the original classic plot, but he was not doing useless work.
Of course, to show the complexity and system of Ning Caichen's character, Zhao Zhenghao's acting skills are also required to be superb enough!
Fortunately, this requirement is not a problem at all for his acting skills of up to 95 points, and the performance is quite in place, even senior seniors like Li Huize, acting masters, and associate professors of acting classes nodded frequently when they saw it.
In the past month before the crew started filming, Zhao Zhenghao had already studied the script quite thoroughly, and prepared more than three different performance methods for each scene, selecting the best of the best.
During that time, An Shuyi was also engrossed in understanding the script, and often called Zhao Zhenghao over for auditions and drills, and the filming requirements of Zhao Zhenghao and the grasp of the character of Nie Xiaoqian also reached the level of familiarity.
The other main characters in the film, Li Huize, who plays Yan Chixia, are seniors in the circle, with superb acting skills and rich experience, although he is the last to enter the group, he is the one who does not need Zhao Zhenghao to worry about the most.
Other actors such as Xiahou, Grandma, Xiaoqing and other actors who have promoted the development of the plot actually don't have many appearances, according to the scenes, there are only two or three scenes, and it is not difficult to shoot.
The difficulty of filming this "A Chinese Ghost Story", to be honest, is only those few action scenes, especially the last two battles, in which there are many special effects shots, and the requirements for the actors are not ordinarily high.
In order to shoot these major scenes, Zhao Zhenghao spent a lot of money and invited the highest-level action team in China to choreograph the actions for these scenes.
When filming the daily life of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, the protagonist of the action scene, Li Huize, who played Yan Chixia, was not idle, and had been running in with the action team, striving to shoot those scenes well and keep improving.
In addition, the production of special effects lenses also started early.
In order to ensure the quality of the film, the special effects team invited by Zhao Zhenghao is also at the top level in China.
With the continuous development of the economic level of Longguo, the continuous prosperity of the film and television industry, and the training of technical personnel, it has gradually kept up with the pace of the world's advanced level, and the production level has gradually reached the world's leading level.
The top level of special effects team in China is also the top level in the world!
The reason why we didn't invite a more experienced foreign team is to support the development of local special effects technology, and secondly, this "A Chinese Ghost Story" tells an original story of the Dragon Kingdom, in which the two characters who need special effects production are also the original monsters of the Dragon Kingdom, which are made by the Dragon People, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the Dragon People, and it is more convenient for Zhao Zhenghao to communicate with them.
Judging from the special effects drawings of the old demon and the grandmother of Montenegro produced in advance, they basically meet Zhao Zhenghao's requirements.
……
With the full cooperation of the crew, the live-action shooting part of "A Chinese Ghost Story" went very smoothly, and it only took about 20 days to complete all the live-action shooting, move to the studio, and start the shooting of the special effects part.
The difficulty in the shooting of special effects shots lies in how the actors can achieve a perfect integration with the special effects to show a convincing level.
In this regard, Zhao Zhenghao does not have much experience, although when filming "Thriller", there are also special effects shots, but those are more static shots, and the action shots required in "A Chinese Ghost Story" are not on the same order of magnitude.
Wang Yulan and Ren Lan, although they have learned the shooting skills of relevant content in school, but what is said in the books and the actual operation are still two different things, and mastering the knowledge points mentioned in the books does not mean that they can reflect the corresponding level in the actual operation.
Even Li Huize has no good advice on this, more than ten years have passed, the development of photography technology is changing with each passing day, and the current shooting method is completely different from before, especially in terms of special effects, which is also a new topic for him.
Helpless, Wang Yulan could only ask the National Academy of Drama for help again, and invited the professor who taught the special effects shooting skills course to Zhao Zhenghao and them on the spot.
With theoretical support, coupled with tireless attempts over and over again, it took nearly 20 days to finally shoot all the materials needed for special effects shots.
The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story", after a month and a half of start-up, completed the filming of all the shots and successfully completed it!
