"Boss, what should I do, I feel like my heart is about to jump out now......" Mina, who seemed to be calm, couldn't help but cover her chest as soon as she returned to Li Xiaole's side, and said to Li Xiaole with a worried face.

"You are the director, even if the sky falls, you can't show a trace of timidity, otherwise the emotions of the employees below will collapse." Li Xiaole smiled, with a leisurely expression, picked up the red Coca-Cola can on the coffee table, took a sip, in order not to make the atmosphere so serious, Li Xiaole ordered ten KFC family buckets, let everyone eat and watch.

But now it seems that everyone else's emotions are extremely nervous, and no one except himself has anything to eat, and it seems that in the face of life and death, the attraction of fried chicken and burgers is still very insignificant.

"It's going to start~~" Agai shouted excitedly, at this time, everyone turned their faces to the LCD screen in unison, only to see a handsome white man in a suit shaving with a razor appeared in the camera, the first two minutes of the commercial for "The Walking Dead" began, Nielsen's ratings curve has a ten-minute delay because of the data, and there will be no new data for the time being, everyone can only stare at the two-minute advertisement, everyone feels that time flies very slowly, there is a feeling of living like a year, stomping the feet, Tapping the table with their fingers, everyone looked a little irritated.

Finally, the first scene of "The Walking Dead" begins, a police car slowly emerges from a country road, in the soft chirping of summer cicadas, the roar of the motor goes out, Rick wearing a police officer's hat looks around to get out of the car, he takes out the car and pulls out the keys, just this one scene quickly quiets down.

Several actors in Lincoln and Wu Yan's group couldn't help but nod approvingly and sighed: "The production is really exquisite", "The action and sound, and the rhythm of the picture are almost perfect......"

Mina watched Lincoln's reaction. They are all actors, and their appreciation of the series is much more critical than that of the average audience, and if they almost all enter the story within a minute, it proves that the series is really well filmed.

Mina also felt very strange, this scene, not even a single line was said, there was no music, just a picture, they felt that the story was very real.

On the screen, Rick is on the side of a rural road, inspecting, and there are abandoned scrap cars everywhere, and the ground is littered with discarded toys, baskets, and carts......

It's such a simple shot, but it gives people an extremely real feeling, Mina still thinks she is delusional, turns her head to look at the others, observes their reactions, and is surprised to find that everyone's demeanor is very focused...... What the hell is going on, this hasn't started the plot yet, has it? Is it because they are all personally involved that everyone is so focused?

No, it's not just that...... These shots seem to have a kind of magic that pulls people into it instantly, not at all like watching an ordinary TV series with a sense of alienation, but like playing a first-person game, as if experiencing the plot first-hand.

"weishenme, boss, I weishenme feel that the camera is so real, what did you do?" Mina turned her head to look at Li Xiaole suspiciously and asked.

"Listen carefully and listen to the differences from the TV series you have made in the past." Li Xiaole pointed to his ear and prompted.

Mina listened intently, and immediately showed a surprised expression, this real magic actually came from the sound effect~~ Completely close to the real sound effect~~

The sound of Rick's steps, the soft chirping of cicadas in the woods, even the rubbing of the keys in his pockets, the light scraping of the corners of his trousers, and the metal sound of the oil bucket swaying in his hand, the distance, delicacy, and spatial feel of that sound are almost exactly the same as in the real environment.

The delicate and subtle feeling produced by this sound effect may not be clear to ordinary people, but it can feel the difference, and feel the real sense of substitution that is completely different from ordinary TV dramas.

"How many sound effects are there?" Mina turned her head in surprise and asked Li Xiaole.

"In the first two minutes, there were 38 in total." Li Xiaole replied calmly.

Many people think that well-produced dramas spend money mainly on big scenes, in fact, big scenes are of course important, but what really enhances the audience's sense of involvement is these details, and there are devils in the details.

The production specifications of a top American drama are placed in the mainland, which is incomparable to any movie, and the $12 million smashed into the hands of domestic producers can only blow up the shoddy stuff of "Havoc in Heaven" at most.

"38 sound effects......" Mina gasped, it may seem easy to achieve this kind of near-real sound effect, but anyone in the industry will know how difficult it is.

If the supreme realm of the actor gives the character a sense of "reality", then the highest realm of the director is the "real" sense of the story environment.

In ordinary TV dramas, two ways are usually used for sound processing, the most commonly used one is ambient synchronous recording processing, which is to use a high-sensitivity microphone to record his lines close to the actor, and try to record the real recording in the environment at that time, and then fine-tune it later.

The advantage of this is first of all to save money, and secondly, it can have a relatively real environment, but the disadvantage is that because too much ambient sound is collected, it will affect the pronunciation of the actor's lines, so the actor can only be allowed to dub the role in the later stage, resulting in the voice and the subtle emotions of the picture, such as "Doctor House", "Evil Liliang" have such small problems.

The other is the opposite, that is, to use a windproof microphone, which only focuses on the part of the actor's lines, and does not record the ambient sound effects, but uses virtual sound effects to deal with them.

Many sitcoms that don't require too much detail, such as "Friends" and the like, use this method, although the audience's live laughter is real, but it is added later when it is broadcast on TV.

And Li Xiaole used this latter type in "The Walking Dead", which is different from those rough sitcoms, the production of background sound effects in the later stage of "The Walking Dead" is completely at the cinematic level.

The difference is that the TV-level sound effect allows the audience to watch the people in the story as a "third party", and the sound heard is distant and blurry, not too clear, and does not give people a strong feeling.

The sound effects in the film industry will make the audience feel that they are the "first perspective of the protagonist", and every detail and every kind of sound effect must be like the kind of sound heard in the ears of the protagonist...... The sound of the wind, the sound of feet stepping on the ground, and even the friction sound of hands swinging clothes while walking, will be presented in a subtle and delicate way.

Do you get it attentively? Of course, they don't notice, but people are sensitive sensory animals, and they will feel these subtle differences, and the "reality" in a shot is made up of countless such tiny details, which will make them instantly enter the play.

Mina understands that in the "real" shot just now, a full 38 kinds of real sounds are added to the post-track, in addition to adjusting the volume of these 38 tracks, but also arranging the position of the audio track, it takes countless experiments to simulate the almost "first-view" effect......

This is not a small trick, but a real strong strength, those sound engineers of Pirate TV do not have this level, Li Xiaole's directing skills are profound, and she is not only amazed......

At this time, outside an electrical appliance store selling televisions in New York's Times Square, a group of passers-by waiting for the bus were looking through the glass at the picture of "The Walking Dead" in a row of televisions.

On the screen, Rick sees the back of a little girl in a white nightgown and chases after her.

"Little girl, I'm a policeman, don't be afraid~~" Rick called out softly.

Everyone who watches it knows that what follows is a typical shot of a horror movie - "Monster Turning Slowly", at this time it is natural that there will be a terrifying sound effect, but the little girl on the screen slowly turns around, but there is no sound effect, everyone sees not a monster, but a "living person"......

In the close-up of the little girl in white played by Chloe Moretz, everyone clearly sees a living little girl, she is very beautiful, almost like a delicate and lovely doll, and even holds a cute Winnie the Pooh in her hand, but the blood stains on her body and the huge sore on her face make everyone know that she is dead...... The shock of the real living dead made everyone gasp.

The little girl's eyes were even twitching slightly, but her mouth let out a low growl characteristic of zombies, and she slowly walked towards Rick.

Listening to the low roar as if it sounded in their ears, everyone was like Rick, and at the same time, their hearts were furious, and they were stunned for half a second, and then they realized the danger in front of them...... Frightened, he took a step back.

Rick on the TV screen stepped back in a bit of a panic, watching the girl rush madly with a painful face, and finally instinctively pulled out his gun, "Bah! The bullet passed through her head, and the blood bloomed in the air like a flower, and the little girl in white looked at the sky and slowly fell on her back, and the bright red blood splashed on her white clothes......

Everyone covered their mouths in surprise, showing the same guilty and horrified expression as Rick on the screen, as if he hadn't killed a zombie, but ended a child's life...... murdered a living person in a zombie movie, and the feeling of a huge gap from the expectations in the heart hit everyone's heart......

Everyone has a question in their hearts, what kind of story is this?
