Chapter 686: Time Is Like Water, and the River Flows Endlessly (1)
Cheng Xiaoyu, who has entered the state, has turned on the workaholic mode, not only to catch up with the filming and progress of "My Sassy Girlfriend", but also to take into account the production of the cartoon "Atomic Light and Shadow". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The character settings, color settings, and art settings of the cartoon (basically you can understand it as a "background", of course, there will occasionally be some "foreground", such as a wall blocking the characters, etc.) have all been reviewed by Cheng Xiaoyu. Some of the important scenes to be used in the animation will be designed in advance, and the quality of some of the original paintings is more delicate than the original works in his memory, which makes Cheng Xiaoyu particularly satisfied. Cheng Xiaoyu carefully reviewed these things that needed the director to make decisions in the early stage, but fortunately, these things could be decided by remote meetings, and there was no need for Cheng Xiaoyu to fly around in the capital of Shanghai, which saved a lot of time.
Now the cartoon has entered the process of storyboard production, because it is produced in accordance with the standard of "full-frame animation", so the workload is very large, "Atomic Light and Shadow" invited more than 20 painters to work overtime to produce, hoping to complete this animated film called the most beautiful in the history of Chinese animation by Cheng Xiaoyu around the New Year, the investment is naturally not small, before the largest investment in Huaxia animated film "Mobis Ring" was produced by Shangmei Film Studio in 07, claiming to have invested 100 million, but it was lost to the crotch.
Since then, Chinese animated films have shown a trend of low age and low quality, and have been criticized.
And Cheng Xiaoyu's investment in this animation is expected to be 50 million, if it is not enough, it will continue to be added, as for whether the cost can be recovered, he doesn't mind, it's really just for feelings.
Time flies, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and a month has passed since the start of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and the filming is progressing quite well, after filming the school scene, Morning Glory's home, Song Mingxi's house Morning Glory and his parents' communication, and the big scenes such as meeting deserters in the park, subway station, barbecue restaurant, guest house and other small scenes, there are few big scenes left in the script.
The filming process was much faster than Cheng Xiaoyu expected, and there were many different "good shots" in the same set of shots. The actors' different performance effects, different angles and techniques of photography can produce a variety of chemical reactions, which makes Cheng Xiaoyu understand the wonder of film shooting, they are experiencing and creating a new life, some great performances make Cheng Xiaoyu feel difficult to choose, but at this moment it is not the moment of editing, and he doesn't need to think too much.
And the reason why the process is so fast is also because the number of ng is very small. Including the actor Yang Caixia who played the mother of "Morning Glory", and Sun Zhi, who played Song Mingxi's father, and other main supporting roles were very outstanding. It feels like an old drama bone who has won an award, and the position is accurate, the key is that there are few laughs in comedy performances, and almost many of them are passed by a few lines, which makes Cheng Xiaoyu feel that the money is worth it.
But in fact, what surprised and amazed Cheng Xiaoyu the most was Xu Qinning, although she was said to be performing in her true colors, but as a movie debut, she was much better than the performance of "Jun Zhixian" in the original movie, which made Cheng Xiaoyu sigh again and again, some people are born to eat this bowl of rice. And she is one of the few NGs, not because her performance is not in place, but because she can't hold back her nervous laughter, in the camera, she has completely achieved the realm of Song Mingxi is her, she is Song Mingxi.
And Lu Dawei also performed very well, his speculation and shaping of "Morning Glory" may not be as restored as Xu Qinning's performance, but he is definitely deeply involved in the role of "Morning Glory", which makes people smile every time they watch it, which makes Cheng Xiaoyu more and more looking forward to the completion of the filming, what kind of effect the film will be after cutting.
Cheng Xiaoyu was so busy that he forgot about his birthday, until the crew surprised him, and Cheng Xiaoyu saw a group of crew members pushing a birthday cake with candles in, and then remembered that today was his birthday.
Everyone in the crew gave him gifts, and he couldn't refuse, so he received a lot of colorful gift boxes again, and Cheng Xiaoyu could only pile them all on Xu Qinning's nanny car.
Originally, there was still a scene to be filmed in front of Song Mingxi's house that night, but because it was Cheng Xiaoyu's birthday, Zhu Wei proposed to end filming early today, anyway, they didn't need to rush now. Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't refuse this kind of kindness, so he could only accept it happily.
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and shouted to Chang Cheng and Lu Dawei: "Everyone has worked hard, here today, and we will continue tomorrow." ”
The dozen or so film crew members gathered around cheered and began to pack up their belongings before preparing to return to the hotel to rest. Cheng Xiaoyu said again that he would invite everyone to a big dinner in the evening, but for some reason, everyone said that they were not free and refused one after another.
But Xu Qinning naturally wouldn't let Cheng Xiaoyu go, and as soon as Cheng Xiaoyu got into her nanny car, she took out a bag from the back, took out a new set of clothes from it, and threw it to Cheng Xiaoyu and asked him to change it.
Cheng Xiaoyu was startled, thinking that Xu Qinning wanted to ask him to wear women's clothes again, so he could only say with a straight face: "My Miss Xu, you better let me go! ”
Xu Qinning has become more and more obsessed with acting recently, raised his head and said with Song Mingxi's signature expression: "Sister, am I so ignorant? This is the school uniform, a high school uniform made according to your current figure." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu opened the plastic bag inexplicably, and saw that it was really a JK school uniform, with a lapel blazer, shirt, pants, and white socks, he looked at Xu Qinning and also took out a set of women's school uniforms, and asked suspiciously: "What is this for?"
Xu Qinning said: "Isn't there a scene in the script where Morning Glory and Song Mingxi wear school uniforms to the bar? ”
Cheng Xiaoyu said angrily: "If you want to experience it, you have to take Lu Dawei to experience it?"
Xu Qinning smiled and said: "How can that work, I played you as the protagonist throughout the whole process, and a lot of your scripts were also written based on what happened to me and you, right?"
Cheng Xiaoyu said in his heart: This misunderstanding has made a big fuss, but it is really difficult to get rid of it, after all, the role of Song Mingxi is indeed very similar to Xu Qinning. But it didn't work if he didn't explain, Cheng Xiaoyu could only say: "Hey, Miss Xu, you're thinking too much, I admit that the role of 'Song Mingxi' is tailored to you, but the role of 'Morning Glory' has nothing to do with me!"
Xu Qinning said: "Laugh, don't think that I don't know that the author has substituted himself as the male protagonist, you have thoughts about a beauty like me, why hide it? It's not a shameful thing." Xu Qinning said, regardless of Cheng Xiaoyu being by her side, she took off the sweatshirt on her body, revealing two huge little white rabbits, beating under the constraints of light purple lace bra, Xu Qinning took her hair in order to play this role, and a few strands of black hair flowed on the crystal white skin, which was very dazzling.
Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head, didn't dare to look, forgot to distinguish, and silently began to change into a school uniform.
