Gu Cheng always felt that his resume of filming TV series in person was enough to have a "Meteor Garden", and he should go straight to the movie later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is normal to use his identity to force the qualifications, count the coffee positions, and complete the ten years of others in a year.

When "The Family of Gold Powder" was sent to the door, it could still be pushed to the reason of "the eve of private capital entering the film and television industry, the darkest hour of dawn" - the imperial court Zhao'an, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs. Since you can't resist, you can only lie down and enjoy.

Who would have thought that after drinking too much wine last night, he would pick up a "Condor Heroes" for nothing.

"Just be an investor and producer, or shoot it yourself?"

Gu Cheng drank the lung-nourishing pear soup and sobered up while pondering the plan.

"Let's try my hand at directing and writing for myself. Anyway, it is an adaptation of a famous work, and the screenwriter does not have much work, and there are many precedents of peers to learn from, which is just suitable for practice. ”

"The experience accumulated in "The Family of Gold Powder" to help Director Li and screenwriter Liu improve the 'Wealthy Character Atlas' can also be used here. It's a big deal to hand over the editing work in the later stage to the assistant director, let's just watch the results and give some opinions to make a board. ”

"It turned out that I had only filmed 'urban dramas', and I learned about ancient costumes and martial arts, and I could also accumulate some knowledge, and I could also test some cutting-edge special effects technology according to my own ideas. It's a big deal that the production cost of this film is a little bigger, and it doesn't just mean to make money. ”

After thinking about these points, Gu Cheng decided to take on part of the choreographer himself. Layout for yourself to win greater discourse weight in the circle in the future.

A person who is not from a professional class, has never even written and directed a TV series, and goes directly to work as a director in a movie, it is easy to be regarded as an oil dog. And this opportunity is really good.

As for the problem of "too much distraction and too much personal energy" that Gu Cheng was worried about at the beginning, he had other solutions.

In the film industry, not every "director" will be very busy and take up a lot of energy.

Because, there is a profession called assistant director, and a lower-level assistant director. The existence of these people can reduce the "physical work" of a large number of directors.

For example, after a screenwriter writes a script, he is not responsible for concretizing the text script into a storyboard script.

Therefore, it is the director's workload to break down the text script into concrete storyboards that can directly guide the shooting operation.

In a relatively poor crew, you can't afford to hire an assistant director, or there is only one assistant director, so this kind of work is basically done by the chief director himself.

And the crew with a large budget and several assistant directors has been invited, and the director only needs to move his mouth, describe the artistic effect he wants to achieve, and then let his subordinates do it. He would like to review whether he is satisfied or not, and make some suggestions.

Just like big designers can often take on a lot of cases with an outline, because they only review the drawings, not draw the drawings, a reason.

In addition to helping with the creation of storyboards, the assistant director can also help with casting, draft editing, and contacting special effects suppliers to confirm the effects...... and so on.

As for screenwriters, according to the industry practice in Hollywood, a script can write the names of up to three screenwriters, which is in line with the rules of the trade union - when many courts in the United States fight a script copyright lawsuit, they will directly hand over "a certain creator's contribution to the script" to the screenwriters' union to adjudicate, and as long as the union believes that "someone's contribution to the script exceeds 30%", the court will rule that the creator enjoys the right of authorship.

And this "30% contribution" is definitely not calculated according to the number of words.

In movies like "Groundhog Day" or "Edge of Tomorrow", the phrase "the next day is still Groundhog Day" and "After dying in battle, you will be reborn on the eve of the D-Day landing war" is enough for the person who proposed the idea to account for more than 30% of the "contribution to the script of the whole play".

In "Inception", it is proposed that "you can still sink a layer of dreams in your dreams, and the speed of time passing slows down by 20 times with each layer of depth, and you can dream if you are killed in a dream without tranquilizer signs, and you can be killed and lost by tranquilizer signs." Weightlessness with or without tranquilizers can be ...... dreams", and the setting of such a few sentences of outline can also be rated by the Hollywood Writers Guild as "more than 30% of the contribution to the script of the whole play".

Even compared to the author who completed the rest of the routine, the person who came up with the brilliant idea had only one percent of the work in terms of the number of words.

A person who comes up with a creative outline contributes much more to the Hollywood rules than he does to complete the copywriting and polishing work.

It can be seen that the people of the United States are very protective of creativity. The routine dog gunman has entered the pit, and he can basically only be a dog for the rest of his life.

Although Huaxia does not have as strict rules as Hollywood, many rough rules are directly borrowed.

If Gu Cheng can make outstanding and innovative contributions to the setting of the script, even if the actual text workload is not large, the name of a screenwriter is enough to convince people.

The premise is that he can come up with a strong enough creative setting.

It can be said that almost all the transformations of "acting and excellent director/writer" were supported by many talented assistant directors/assistant screenwriters in the early stage.

Historically, even after Zhou Jielun made two or three movies as an actor, he was able to play "The Secret That Can't Be Said", which was "written, directed and acted", just because he relied on the ability of the assistant director.

Gu Cheng's acting talent, as well as the artistic vision of the outline, there is no reason why he is not as good as Zhou Jielun.

……

Thinking about all this, Gu Cheng finally felt relaxed mentally.

After taking a bath in the bathroom, getting comfortable, and changing into clean clothes, he prepared to go home with his cousin.

As a result, when he was blowing his hair, he found Kwon Bo-ah still drunk and sleeping on the tatami mat.

"Hey, get up and clean yourself up and go home. Gu Cheng kicked the girl lightly, and finally woke up the little drunkard, "No one has poured you, you can drink yourself like this, and I'm also drunk." ”

Quan Baoya rolled cutely, sloppy like a dry girl: "Woo...... There are so many delicious dishes...... Actually, I didn't drink much, but I tasted a cup of each......"

Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying were angry and funny, Gu Cheng slipped Quan Bao Yati into the bathroom, and Pan Jieying took a wet towel to wipe Quan Baoya's face, wiping it and teaching a lesson:

"Drink at such a young age, and you don't even know common sense! Don't drink in the future, or I'll throw you back to Seoul and let the company discipline you." ”

Quan Baoya sobered up a little and smiled shyly, saying that it would not be in the future.

The group drove home, and Gu Cheng sat in the car and began to think about the arrangements for filming the TV series.

According to the length of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the previous versions are generally filmed with a length of about 40 episodes. In this regard, Gu Cheng squeezed some water and added some private goods, and the impact would not be too great.

It is estimated that the time for the actual shooting will always take about 3 months. In addition, the casting preparations have to be prepared at least two months in advance, and the filming has to be filmed until the end of the year.

And this is a martial arts film, Gu Cheng is going to use some green screen special effects that are not very popular now, with more synthetic effects. Therefore, the post-production time will definitely be much longer than the original "Meteor" and "Gold Powder", which only need to be edited in the later stage.

The martial arts films made in China and Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 90s did not have a green screen, and there was no such technology at that time. The first batch of masterpieces using 3D synthesis in foreign countries is "The Matrix" in 99, and the use of such technology in martial arts dramas in China is about the precedent created by Director Xu's "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World"-

From the perspective of special effects in the future, this film is really stupid, but not to mention that people have really made history. Using a green screen to create a variety of overhead cliff scenes, and using motion capture technology + 3D modeling material textures to make "fire unicorns", domestic counterparts never thought of it.

"Storm and Storm Dominates the World" was just released this year, and it is still on the air, which shows that many special effects technologies in the new era have not been long in China. He Yandong and Jiang Qinqin are still rookies, and they became popular by relying on this drama.

Gu Cheng must move forward in exploration, and he can't just be satisfied with the technical level that "Fengyun" has done. Therefore, it is estimated that the final release time of "The Condor Heroes" will not be until the middle of next year.

He didn't want to worry about the casting all himself, he would call Wang Zhongjun tomorrow to see who the assistant director he arranged for him was, and let the assistant director go to the rough selection first, put two or three candidates in each position, and then Gu Cheng would finally make the decision.

When Gu Cheng thought of this, he suddenly remembered that there was a cute girl sitting next to him. So he casually asked, "Do you want to make a TV series?"

Quan Baoya was stunned for a moment, shook her head from side to side, and confirmed that Gu Cheng was talking to her: "I want to, but I won't, it will ruin your business." ”

Gu Cheng stroked his cousin's long straight black hair: "If you want to, go back and make up for the good and bad for three months, and then read the original work of "The Condor Heroes" several times and figure it out." Don't worry, the TV series does not have such high acting requirements, and I had no experience at all when I filmed "Meteor Garden", and I didn't rely on S-M's acting class for half a Chinese New Year's Eve. Besides, you'll just play a little supporting actress, it's not a big deal. ”

Gu Cheng pondered in his heart that Quan Baoya would only play a role like Cheng Ying or Guo Xiang. Newcomers with poor acting skills still have to rely on "acting in their true colors" to win brilliance. The character design is consistent with the actor's temperament, and at least 20% of the acting BUFF plus achievements have been made.

Kwon Bo-ah nodded gratefully, saying that she would definitely work hard.

When the group returned home, Gu Cheng asked Pan Jieying to contact Wang Zhongjun to meet with the assistant director and photographer. On the other hand, he also instructed his subordinates to register a new film production company, which will be called Legendary Pictures, in order to fit the name of "Legendary Entertainment" and borrow popularity.

The "legendary pictures" on the other side of the ocean, which later filmed "Warcraft", was only established in 2004, and it does not exist today. Although there is no prohibition on duplicate names between Huami, it is estimated that if Gu Cheng's side becomes bigger, the ticket person will have to change his name.

Quan Baoya rested in Qiantang for one night, and the next day flew back to Seoul with a few thick copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
