For the well-known plot of "Shooting the Condor", everyone is obviously more interested in the ups and downs of this ratings curve, and TVB employees are praying that they must get off to a good start today, and don't let Pirate TV throw this hot potato to them......

Looking closely, the curve begins with yesterday's data for each episode, and now the "Crime Scene Investigation" that started at 9 o'clock has a viewing population of 17.87 30,000, followed by the second season of "The Big Bang Theory" at 8 o'clock, with a viewing population of 15.47 million, and the third person FOX will broadcast "Terminator Gaiden" at 8 o'clock, with a viewing population of 10.74 million on this TV, and the fourth place is the CBS2 sitcom "The Romance of Mom and Dad" 9.56 million.

Looking at the Nielsen ratings survey estimate curve of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the peak is 3.07 million, and the lowest is 2.19 million, ranking 15th among the 22 dramas screened in the same period, surpassing most paid cable TV dramas, but it is also the lowest among TVB.

Many Hong Kong actors who didn't have any concept of ratings before, looking at these curves, couldn't help but get nervous, they didn't expect that they would be ranked last on TVB......

"Director Li, will the crew have enough advertising money? Our ratings are not in a good position......" Nicholas Tse, who was sitting next to Li Xiaole, couldn't help but ask him nervously, but Ha Ji Won next to him smiled and replied: "Don't worry, the estimated rating of the first of "The Walking Dead" last time was 810,000......

"How many ratings did the first episode of 'The Walking Dead' get." Nicholas Tse asked expectantly.

"An average of 4.27 million ......," Ha Ji Won was stunned for a moment and then replied.

All the actors listened to it with gloomy faces, although "The Walking Dead" is popular all over the United States, but the first episode only got 4.27 million ratings, it is an orthodox American drama, and they are now a Chinese TV series...... The bottom line is 8 million viewers......

Li Xiaole looked calm, turned his head and asked Ha Zhiyuan, "How is the advertising now?" ”

"There are 32 advertising companies that have signed contracts with us, and we can bid for advertising at any time, and about 5,378 brands have already been interested in us, and well, it has risen to 5,380." Ha Ji Won looked at the latest data on his phone and watched the order data constantly refreshed. ”

"Do Americans really like to watch our dramas......" Nicholas Tse couldn't help but be a little shaken at this time, bowed his head and muttered, all the actors also smiled bitterly, if their group of actors in Hong Kong's golden age "Shooting the Condor" fails in the United States this time, then I am afraid that in the past 20 years, Chinese TV dramas will no longer have the courage to hit the American market......

"Why don't you like it?" Li Xiaole turned his head and asked him with a calm smile: "Good film and television works transcend borders and cultures, how many people in our country can understand the story in "The Lord of the Rings", and how many people can understand the details of the characters described in "Pirates of the Caribbean"?" For ordinary audiences, a novel and exquisite world is enough to attract them, as long as they are willing to try it, then "Condor Shooting" will have a great chance. ”

Li Xiaole's words did not reassure everyone, but they heard someone shouting: "It's going to start" made everyone hurriedly put on 3D glasses, and then clenched their fists tightly, staring intently at the Ibox LCD TV in front of them, everyone hasn't seen the made 3D version, and their hearts are completely bottomless......

Finally the beginning of the film, the familiar theme song sounded "vaguely dreaming like I saw the waves in my heart...... in the passionate rhythm, there are indeed completely different pictures appearing, grand war scenes, exquisite character close-ups, and various plot pictures overlapping...... Exquisite continents, city maps are displayed in front of people's eyes, whether it is light, rhythm, color, camera movement is completely different from the 83 version of the humble and simple, it is completely like watching an epic movie......

But everyone was excited, but they were a little disappointed, because in this opening film, except for the subtitles are 3D stereoscopic, there is no 3D effect...... Looking at the ratings curve, the opening of the film is 2.43 million, 2.38 million...... 2.37 million ...... It turned out to be a downward trend.

In various states in the United States, many viewers who sat in front of the TV to join in the fun were obviously a little uninterested, and many people felt a little bored looking at the Chinese faces and the songs they didn't understand.

At the beginning of the shot, it is different from the traditional martial arts style in people's impressions, the music changes, under the broad and majestic but without losing a trace of beauty and sadness, a majestic and icy mountain gorge appears, in the silent subtitles to introduce the grand historical background, a team of tall Jin country silver armor warriors, starting from Huining Mansion, the capital of the Jin country, escorting an official in Song costume is crossing the majestic Great Wall, the iron cable is slowly pulled up, and the heavy wooden door is slowly raised, but the picture gives people the feeling of being so cold and gloomy.

Everyone walked through the long road that felt like there was no end with torches, and when the last gate rose, everyone was greeted by a heavy snow that was completely different from the black heaviness that gave people before, but obviously this did not bring much relief, because the Great Wall was originally built by the Han people in the past dynasties to resist the nomads on the vast grasslands in the north, but at this moment it has been occupied by the Jin people, and the music in the ears is like mourning music.

In this team of snow struggled forward, passing through the mountain villages along the road, but saw a few burned ruins, the Jin and Song Dynasty battles continued, and the Jin troops looted the villages from time to time, but many times the historical dramas will be brushed aside, and at this time, on the screen, the audience saw a bloody corpse fragments, a tragic hell scene, the Song Dynasty officials were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly turned around and walked away, but they looked up and saw the body of a little girl who was nailed to a tree...... I couldn't help but gasp.

Brutal, cold-blooded and realistic...... Many viewers who were still eating almost threw up, and although the pirate station marked it as a show for people over 18 years old, it still made people feel a little caught off guard...... Is this still a martial arts drama known for its romantic and poetic pictures......

The scenery in this place alone gives people an extremely real feeling, Zeng Zhiwei opened his mouth and thought that he was delusional, turned his head to look at the others, observed their reactions, and was surprised to find that everyone's demeanor was 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 magic that pulls people into it instantly, not at all like watching an ordinary TV series with a sense of alienation, as if experiencing the plot in person, Li Xiaole used the first perspective of the Song Dynasty official?

Is it a subtle sound? Well...... Indeed, just like those large-scale American dramas, the figures in this scene are very delicate, and even the sound of the friction of the armor of those warriors of the Jin Kingdom, and the collision between the saber and the scabbard are very clear and detailed...... But that's not all.

Zeng Zhiwei observed carefully, the lens is not gentle, but in a very slight ups and downs, it seems to be the rhythm of a person's breathing, although the audience can't feel it, but this subtle way of using the lens is easy for people to see, this method has also been used in American dramas such as "The Walking Dead" filmed by Pirate Channel before, but it is far from reaching this feeling......

"Why, Le Zai, there is no 3D lens yet, why do I have a sense of being there?" Zeng Zhiwei turned his head to look at Li Xiaole suspiciously and asked.

"Who said there is no 3D, you take a closer look." Li Xiaole pointed to the 3D glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Zeng Zhiwei stared at it with wide eyes and looked at it intently, and immediately showed a surprised expression, this kind of real immersion turned out to be from the different real effects before and after the scene.

The corpse of the terrifying girl nailed to the tree in the picture, the wellhead under the tree, the baskets, flat belts, clothes, stump fragments, and even the bursts of snow dusts blown by the wind in the picture all have a subtle sense of staggered distance, and the sense of space is almost exactly the same as in the real environment......

Although it is 3D, because there is no vigorous movement, ordinary people may not be able to distinguish it, but the visual nerve can feel the subtle differences, and feel the real sense of substitution that is completely different from the general picture.

In the use of 3D pictures, many directors have a big misunderstanding, that is, if there is a 3D picture, it must be made that the audience can feel it strongly, such as this kind of picture with snow scenes, it is necessary to make snow flakes fly to the face, so that you feel that kind of abrupt fright, although this way will make the audience feel more obviously 3D, but in fact, it will make the pressure on people's visual nerves very great.

Because in this kind of picture, usually everything is flat, he made a snowflake that was added in the later stage with a 3D effect, so that the visual nerves that adapt to the real environment will have a sense of dislocation, making people feel dizzy, to put it bluntly, it is to show off his skills, and use 3D as a selling point to highlight it vigorously, but completely ignore the disgusting feeling that this will make the audience dizzy.

And although Li Xiaole used 3D real scenes at the beginning, it was the highest level of moisturizing things silently...... It not only makes you immersive, but also makes the visual nerves not tense, so many people don't even realize that this is a 3D lens.

"How many layers of layers have you corrected in this?" Zeng Zhiwei turned his head in surprise and asked Li Xiaole.

"There are 64 large and small set props for this big shot, and I did 54 layers of tuning." Li Xiaole replied calmly.

"Training on the 54th floor" Zeng Zhiwei, as the producer, gasped...... Many people have all 3D movies are similar, but the actual effect of the name hanging 3D is actually very different, except for the kind of animation that can be used as the original layer, the real scene 3D shooting generally has to go through the post-adjustment to achieve the perfect three-dimensional effect, the more mature the division of this sense of distance, the more realistic, and the longer it takes.

For example, in 2004, when the IMAX3D feature film "Polar Express", which is known as the originator of physical 3D, was released, many shots were only divided into two levels, that is, the plane layer and the layer of moving objects.

The 2005 Disney "Chicken Story" cartoon used up to 5 layers with different distances, and the 2008 "U23D Concert" was 7 ...... has been praised as a classic in the industry, and Li Xiaole actually understated that he used "54 layers of training...... This style of pursuing real details is simply paranoid to the point of paranoia......
