—— During the banquet, the Huang brothers kept leaning on the puppet show in the name of asking Lin Youlun for advice.

Gu Long's novels are certainly popular, but Lin Youlun's works are more popular among today's young people, especially the pioneering work "Sou Shen Ji", which has been adapted into comics, has set a sales record of nearly 10 million copies in the Chinese world. The popularity of novels and adapted comics has cultivated a huge readership for "Sou Shen Ji", and if this novel can be adapted into a TV puppet show, it will definitely be a huge boost to the re-popularity of TV puppet shows.

"We are ready to follow the model of TV and film production and invest in a studio in our hometown of Huwei for the recording of puppet shows. Mr. Lin has a far-sighted vision, and our brothers are not sure whether this studio production mode is also suitable for puppet show production, so I would like to hear Mr. Lin's opinion. Huang Hua's posture was very low.

Of course, the construction requirements of the studio have also been increased accordingly, especially in the part of the set, the stage-style flat set is definitely not good, and it is necessary to introduce large-scale sets, real scenes and even computer synthesis backgrounds, these techniques have been very mature in film and television shooting, and it should not be difficult to apply them to the puppet show."

In the kind of layered scenery mentioned by Lin Youlun, the cāo puppeteer has to face the situation that he can't see the puppet but has to play the puppet, which requires the cāo puppeteer's skills to be very high.

The Huang brothers all looked serious about thinking, and Lin Youlun then said: "Compared with current TV and movies, puppet theater has lagged far behind in terms of expressiveness, especially in martial arts. ”

With the vision of future generations, Lin Youlun's expectations for the puppet show naturally far exceeded the expectations of the Huang brothers.

Under strict cost control, there were not many cases of direct use of computer special effects in TV dramas in the mid-to-late 80s, and most of them were rough and simple. Although Lin Youlun's suggestion is good, if he really does what he thinks, the cost of filming a puppet show will be greatly increased, and the risks brought by this are something that the Huang brothers cannot bear.

The Huang brothers vaguely mentioned their concerns about this, and Lin Youlun put down the chopsticks in his hand and seriously analyzed them, saying: "The special effects in TV dramas are often compared with movies by the audience. This has also caused an embarrassing situation in the application of computer special effects in TV dramas. The cost of high-end technology is too high, it is difficult to use it in a large number of TV dramas, and low-end technology is not attractive to the audience. The situation of puppet theater is special, adding some simple special effects will only make everyone feel new and interesting, and no one will compare it with the movie, and in terms of cost, this kind of simple computer special effects will not actually bring too much burden to the shooting cost. ”

After talking about the suggestions for improving the set and special effects, Lin Youlun then mentioned the dubbing.

Traditional puppet show. All the roles are dubbed by one person, and Huang Zegao, who has mastered the unique skills of family dubbing, once dubbed more than 20 characters in a play, he explained that this is the ancestral training of the family, but in Lin Youlun's opinion, this dubbing method is too monotonous, and it still stays in the traditional drama stage. It does not fit the characteristics of television.

"Since the two of them intend to innovate the TV puppet show, it is not necessary for the dubbing to continue to follow the tradition, and the division of labor dubbing is more in line with the laws of modern TV production, and even some stars can be invited to dub the characters, so that the purpose of dubbing can be achieved, and some articles can be made in publicity."

After listening to Lin Youlun's words, his brother Huang Hua was still calm. The younger brother Huang Ze said: "What Mr. Lin said, in fact, we have considered it before, in addition to cost concerns, we have also been suffering from the lack of good script materials. ”

Lin Youlun pondered for a moment. Suddenly, a sentence popped up: "What do you two think of "Sou Shen Ji"? ”

The muscles on the Huang brothers' faces suddenly tightened, and their eyes instantly released a look of excitement, Rao is Huang Hua has always been calm, and at this time he couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Is Mr. Lin serious?" ”

Adapting "Sou Shen Ji" into a puppet show was an idea that Lin Youlun had only come up with on the spot, but before saying this, he did think about it carefully.

The TV adaptation rights of "Sou Shen Ji" were sold to ATV very early, but this TV series has not been able to start filming for a long time. When the adaptation of the TV series was authorized, Lin Youlun had an agreement with ATV that the production cost of the TV series "Sou Shen Ji" could not be less than 20 million, but in fact, the cost of 20 million was far from enough to shoot this TV series well.

The TV series "Difficult Birth", the movie is limited by the development of computer special effects technology, and it is impossible to start filming in a short time, so Lin Youlun hit the idea on the puppet show.

Puppet shows do not need very realistic performance effects, and the most difficult to show all kinds of fierce beasts in film and television can be directly replaced by puppets, and the difficulty of shooting is greatly reduced.

Lin Youlun has the idea of cooperation, and the Huang brothers will certainly not refuse.

Since it has been decided to adapt "Sou Shen Ji" into a puppet show, Lin Youlun certainly hopes that this puppet show will be perfect in all aspects, from the set to the puppet modeling, he has put forward very detailed requirements.

The Huang brothers initially estimated that not counting the costs incurred in filming and post-production computer production, just setting up sets and making dolls, the cost was as high as millions, and the normal shooting of a TV series did not require such a high investment.

Such a cost is beyond the scope that the Huang brothers can bear, Lin Youlun saw that the two of them were really embarrassed, so he proposed that all the investment should be made by him, correspondingly, after the filming of the puppet show, the copyright naturally belongs to Lin Youlun, and the Huang brothers were actually just hired to help Lin Youlun complete the production.

The Huang brothers were still skeptical about whether TV puppet shows could become popular again, and after some discussion, they finally accepted Lin Youlun's suggestion.

——

"Can any of you tell me where this letter of accusation in the newspaper came from!"

Xie Jin was angry, and he wrote his face angrily, his nostrils were swollen, his eyes were staring out, his mouth was puffing up, and the big throat on his neck was rolling up and down, as if it was about to break and rush to the face of the person opposite.

The crew members standing in front of Xie Jin were silent, and many people present had made many movies with Xie Jin, but it was the first time they had seen him so angry.

"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was filmed for more than 4 months, and seeing that it would be closed immediately, an anonymous report letter appeared in major domestic newspapers, which immediately pushed the entire crew to the forefront of domestic public opinion.

The indignant Xie Jin immediately defended himself in the newspaper, declaring that "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is a film that reflects on people and criticizes the old society, but because it "does not highlight politics" and "arrogance and pride", it has caused greater controversy, and has fallen deeper into the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.

Xie Jin himself enjoys a high status in the Chinese film industry, so all kinds of controversies from public opinion are not enough to have a substantial impact on him, but as the heroine of the film, Gong Li is still just a college student, and she was suddenly labeled as the "heroine of the love movie", and suddenly fell into the sea of people's saliva. The Chinese opera had already announced that the honorary title of "Outstanding Student" would be awarded to her, but because of this incident, it was handed down.

Because of Gong Li's matter, Xie Jin also personally called the leader of the Chinese opera to explain, but the final result was that Gong Li could not get back the honorary title she lost, and even whether she could continue to stay in the Chinese opera to study was a problem.

Gong Li didn't believe that she would be expelled from school because she made a movie, and after learning the news, although she often cried in private, she kept gritting her teeth and holding on, and what really bent the straw was her family's reaction after learning the news.

Gong Li's brother rushed to the crew from Lu Xing in a hurry as soon as the matter was reported, and slapped her without saying a word when he saw Gong Li. Then he immediately took her away and forbade her to continue acting in this movie.

No matter how Gong Li explained, he refused to believe it, and he must let Gong Li go home with him, and he was not allowed to continue to "embarrass people" here. Gong Li refused to leave the crew, coupled with the dissuasion of the crew staff, Gong Li's brother did not take her away.

The reaction of her family was a huge blow to Gong Li, who was struggling to support herself in the storm of public opinion, and her emotions completely collapsed in the past two days, and she washed her face with tears all day long.

If Gong Li didn't leave, her brother and the crew were consumed, and they had trouble for several days in a row, which seriously affected the filming of the film. Xie Jin personally came forward several times but failed to convince him, the two sides were deadlocked, and the crew could only follow suit.

"It's ridiculous!" Xie Jin slapped the table with his palm, and with a bang, the teacups and bowls were turned upside down, and the tea on the table flowed sideways.

Before the tea on the table was cleaned up, the door was slammed open, and a young man in his 20s slammed into it like a headless fly in a panic.

"Director Xie, something happened! Gong Li jumped into the river! ”

Xie Jin's heart couldn't help but sink down, he almost didn't shout, his heart was beating, his eyelids were trembling, and a coolness penetrated along his backbone, from top to bottom, and his heels suddenly became a little unstable.

The people around him were quick and hurriedly held him up.

Xie Jin broke free from the support of others and roared angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry down to the river to save people!" ”
