Chapter 174: What is the festival?
Compared with filming the main drama, the set of the filming of the online drama is undoubtedly very funny, which also leads to laughter that may be heard on the set at any time. For the actors who laughed from time to time, Lu Wenbin did not reprimand him too harshly. In his opinion, this kind of thing is unavoidable.
If a drama wants to make the audience laugh, first of all, you must feel that there is something to laugh at. If the actors don't think the play is funny, how can they make the audience laugh in front of the screen? What's more, such a working atmosphere is also very good in Lu Wenbin's opinion.
Previously, some people were curious about the difference between online drama filming and TV drama shooting, but now it seems that the requirements for online dramas are not as strict as those for TV dramas. In terms of actor selection, it is naturally not so strict.
It's just that for Bai Bing and others who starred in this web drama, this undoubtedly gave them a new hope. made a name for himself online by acting in online dramas, and then found a way to be recognized, so that he really had the opportunity to set foot in the entertainment industry.
Maybe they are unlikely to become popular, but Lu Wenbin also told them. If they can become celebrities in online dramas, there will be a lot of crews who invite them to shoot online dramas in the future, and the income they can get will naturally not be low.
Say a thousand things and ten thousand, these people want to be actors, that is, to realize their dreams, why not to make money?
After two days of continuous shooting, Lu Wenbin assigned the follow-up shooting task to Zhou Xingyan to be responsible. As for himself, he took the footage shot in front of him and edited and special effects with the technical team of the 'Qiyi' company.
Although the 'Qiyi' company is a video network company, the company still has a lot of technical elites in reserve. After the merger of this company, Lu Wenbin deliberately selected a group of computer elites from it.
These computer elites are good at special effects production, and there are many places where special effects need to be used in the future filming of TV series. Now that the company has such a department, it will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble and expenses!
Watching the filming of the first episode of 'low-cost martial arts film', the staff responsible for adding special effects, and looking at Bai Bing who played 'Wang Da Hammer' with an ignorant face, I also felt that this actor looked very funny.
asked with a smile: "Director Lu, this actor looks very happy!" ”
"Yes! A lot of times in online dramas, it's just spoofs and funny. Aren't you all like to have fun online? In many cases, online dramas can meet the needs of video users. ”
Under the guidance of Lu Wenbin, the special effects team quickly produced the special effects sequences needed for the first episode. Lu Wenbin, who stayed aside, also stayed in the technical group, and played the first set of special effects.
Many technicians who helped make special effects before couldn't help but laugh and said, "Director Lu, this is really a five-cent special effect!" ”
"Online dramas, it is impossible to spend huge special effects costs. Speaking of which, our special effects are definitely worth a dollar. In recent years, many TV series have only done special effects for five cents, and we have been very kind. ”
In a word, these technicians also felt that Lu Wenbin was not as strict as he imagined. I heard those managers say that Lu Wenbin is a strict boss. But now that they have contacted, they feel that Lu Wenbin is no different.
After watching the feature film of the first episode, many technicians also said excitedly: "Although this episode is not long, it is really funny." If you happen to love coffee or drink water when watching the video, there is a real chance that something will happen! ”
"Hmmm! Yes, when the video is officially broadcast, be sure to put such a warning sign at the beginning of the credits. If there is any loss of property or personnel due to watching the film, the company will not be responsible! ”
After the feature film and special effects of the first three episodes were made, Lu Wenbin also deliberately pulled Bai Bing into the recording studio on the third floor and asked him to sing the theme song of the same name of the show. For such an opportunity, Bai Bing is naturally very grateful.
Just looking at Lu Wenbin, who kept shaking his head and demonstrating, Bai Bing felt a little stressed. On the other hand, Lu Wenbin comforted: "Put down the burden and take out the state of filming to sing, the more serious you are, the worse you will sing!" ”
After Lu Wenbin's continuous enlightenment, Bai Bing, who let go of the pressure and began to sing, originally thought that this time would definitely not pass. What surprised him was that Lu Wenbin nodded and said, "Okay, it's over!" ”
"Ahh Boss, can you get by like this? ”
"You're not a singer, you're just an actor in an online drama, as long as you sing the cheerful atmosphere of this song. What's more, you didn't run out of tune and didn't sing the wrong words, why can't you pass?
However, if you want to become a singer, you have to work hard. You have a good voice, and if I have the chance, I'll write you some more songs in the future. Being an online singer will also accumulate some popularity for you! ”
"Thank you boss!"
"Well, shoot well! I believe that when the first season is over, you will also become the first person in the online drama. When the time comes, I will arrange a company to arrange other filming for you, and strive to realize your star dream. ”
"Thank you, thank you boss!"
"Alright, hurry back and rest, I'm going to shoot tomorrow! In addition, I would like to remind you that the actors who signed contracts from Xinghua this time are likely to not be able to stay all. You think those actors are good, you can tell me about them then.
On the company's side, we plan to prepare a web drama cast to create a series of web dramas around you. This cast should be built with you as the core. So, you have to know who to leave behind, understand? ”
Lu Wenbin, who also served as a group performer in his previous life, knew very well that such an opportunity was something he couldn't refuse for Bai Bing. As long as he can sign Bai Bing, Lu Wenbin believes that he will have a way to train him to become the first Internet celebrity.
In the future, Bai Bing may bring him more economic benefits than ordinary actors. And the filming in the past few days has made Lu Wenbin also see that Bai Bing is very good, he is a young actor who can endure hardships and work hard.
As long as Bai Bing is willing to work hard, Lu Wenbin feels that providing him with some opportunities is actually a win-win cooperation!
With the recording of the theme song of 'Never Expected', Lu Wenbin took some happy shooting scenes on the set from the shots that had been filmed as the MV content of this theme song. Use the theme song to warm up this web drama.
As Qiyi.com began to promote this online drama, many concerned users who paid attention to Qiyi.com were also very curious about what this drama was like. When the music video for the theme song was first released online, the number of hits increased rapidly.
"I never thought of it! That sounds pretty good! Looking at the MV clip, it looks like a clip from the shooting scene, right? ”
"It looks so funny! Who sang this song! ”
"I never expected that the festival was gone! What is the festival of festivals? Solving! ”
After watching the theme song MV broadcast, there was a lot of feedback from netizens, and the management of Qiyi.com was also very happy. A lot of things, just afraid that no one will pay attention. In that case, what's the use of making a good film that no one pays attention to?
Lu Wenbin, who also paid attention to the reaction on the Internet, quickly said: "Preview in advance, three days later, the first episode will be broadcast, and then one episode will be updated every day." Seven days later, one more episode will be updated, but only for VIP users to watch in advance! ”
Registering as a VIP user of Qiyi.com naturally costs money. But the annual fee of thirty yuan a Chinese New Year's Eve is not expensive in Lu Wenbin's opinion. Users who have registered as VIP will be able to watch the latest updated plot content earlier than others.
Even if there are not many people who register for the first time, Lu Wenbin thinks it's nothing. He needs to let users know the benefits of being first. In this way, in the future, movies that need to be paid to watch will be launched, and I believe that these members will also recognize the paid model.
After waiting until three days, I never expected that the first episode would be officially uploaded and opened to registered users at 8 p.m. watched the short opening song end, and then a 'Asian Association for the Protection of Fat People' sponsored the broadcast, many viewers were stunned.
Someone even sent a message soon saying: "Protecting the Fat Association? Is there such an association? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
When I saw the warm reminder I watched at the beginning, I laughed a little bit at the reminder that the dead are not worth their lives, which made many young netizens feel a little more expectant. And the first episode of 'low-cost martial arts film' soon appeared in front of the audience.
The characters that appeared at the beginning made a lot of attention see that the 'Wang Da Hammer' in the original theme song was the guy in front of him with a decadent and confused face. Audiences who didn't know what low-cost was before, finally understood how poor this crew was.
"I've got a grass, toy sword! This crew is too poor! ”
Countless complaining messages, looking at the martial arts special effects made, turned out to be directly typing, and couldn't help laughing. continued to leave a message: "Five-cent special effects, this crew is really saving money!" ”
waited until the five-minute feature film was finished, and watched the suicide of 'Wang Da Hammer' before he died, saying that he would never take this kind of poor B crew play again. Many people don't remember how many times they laughed in those five minutes.
With the introduction of the opening song and the actors at the end of the credits, this miniseries is controlled to less than ten minutes. But for many viewers, it feels very good. Although this drama is a bit spoofed, it is indeed very funny!
Some people, even after watching it for the first time, start watching it a second time. In their opinion, many lines in this web drama make them find funny. From the beginning to the end, it seems that the whole process is a laugh!
And in the message area on the Internet, the content is also rolling rapidly. The technical department of Qiyi.com, which has been paying attention to the viewing traffic, soon saw that within three minutes, the effective click rate of this online drama exceeded 100,000.
Within five minutes, the number of hits exceeded 500,000. Such a rapid click number also makes the technical department of Qiyi.com feel incredible. But think about the theme song MV uploaded three days ago, the number of hits has exceeded 5 million.
That's only 1/10 of the number of clicks, which seems normal!
But ten minutes later, the effective clicks exceeded one million, but the management of Qiyi.com really felt that the benefits generated by this online drama were really surprising to them!
broke one million in ten minutes, and the evaluation of viewing users was also very good. So after 24 hours, when the second episode is opened, is it possible that the click-through rate of the first episode of this web series will exceed 5 million?
