Chapter 614: Fierce Sword
Each actor who will have a close-up in the camera, an actor with a name and a surname, and everyone's equipment, all of which are prepared in two sets.
The two sets are exactly the same, including the location of the damage, stains, and blood infection, all of which are the same, and there are two sets when people do it, and there is a special head model to record the facial state of these actors when they start filming for the first time, which is the traces of blood, stains, and wipes, all of which must be copied on the head model.
Who would have thought that this is not a detail of what cost is in Chinese movies, in front of these more professional special effects makeup artists in Hollywood, they would rather spend one or two thousand yuan and the corresponding time to get it out, and they also have to be familiar with the script and track the crew to shoot, familiarize themselves with the script to understand the state of the characters and give the director some special effects makeup suggestions, tracking the crew shooting is to faithfully record some scenes under the scene, the external changes of the actor after being injured, After a round of fighting, the external changes after not being injured, and then when the shooting is finished, there will be a DV to record their latest status, and then the makeup artist will re-show the latest state on the model and the second set of clothes, and when the shooting starts again, the makeup on the skin will be re-contrasted and touched-up, and if there is no difference in the makeup on the clothes, the first set will be worn, and if there is a difference, the alternate set will be worn.
After the filming starts, continue to rotate this process, so that excellence can reach an ultimate embodiment, not to mention actors, Xiao Gang Cannon feels a little stupid, he feels that he is serious enough, look at people's work attitude, you are really not convinced.
Xiao Gang Cannon directly asked Yang Yichen what the fees for such special effects makeup artists were. After getting the answer, sigh directly. The general crew in China doesn't think about it, people will give you excellent work results. There must be a fee that makes you feel a little scary.
It's not that the corresponding practitioners in Huaxia are not as good as others, and the technical aspects are secondary, the key is this work attitude, what is the work attitude? Look at the income to speak, how much money you spend and how much service I give you, you let me earn a little bit of hard money and I want me to give you the best work attitude, isn't it difficult for a strong man.
Xiaogang believes that if we can give such a high salary, our makeup artists can also have such a standard. The overall gap in the industry. The most obvious manifestation of these details is that are Huaxia's directors really worse than others? Or are Huaxia's actors really worse than others?
In fact, it's not bad, Yang Yichen has also seen a lot of stars in Hollywood, and he has also seen a lot of big names acting on the set, not to mention anything else, a Chow Yun-fat and a Liang Chaowei, these two will never lose their acting skills to Oscar-level actors, if they are a blonde and blue-eyed white image, they will be lucky to meet a good book and a good role. No matter how long they play, and a little more luck when it comes to the Oscar selection, they don't have the strength to win the Oscar, you must know the previous little bit. Even a real blonde and blue-eyed white Hollywood actor can only be obtained by luck, and it has nothing to do with strength.
The worse is the industry.
If the Huaxia industry is big enough. The corresponding standards will be slowly improved, and natural selection will be competitive. That's the law of the food chain.
When more people devote themselves to the film industry, there will inevitably be competition. You are a makeup artist, then you are not as good as others, I don't need you, the industry has done it, and the money that dares to give makeup artists is enough, and at this time, it is natural to choose the best.
Little by little, when all aspects of the details are driven by the industry to get better and better, our film industry will also make Hollywood tremble, for this, Yang Yichen is very confident, although the per capita income of Huaxia has not increased much, there are prices compared to that, many people's lives have not changed much, and they will still feel that Huaxia is very poor, but the overall economy of China will catch up in the next ten years, and the whole country has become the world's top buyer's market. It is only a matter of time before it overtakes the United States to become the world's number one buyer's market.
It takes a while for the country to be strong and the people are rich, and this road is like the rich details of the film industry, when these details are enriched little by little to catch up with the international level, it is natural that the quality of the films produced by the entire film industry will be upgraded to a higher level.
Huaxia, since ancient times, there has been no shortage of anything, we have not done the best of the boss, there must be something wrong, find the problem to solve it, we will definitely be the strongest.
Yang Yichen has this confidence and this responsibility, but he clearly knows that many people in Huaxia have a very high attitude towards themselves, you have to talk to these people about learning outside, and soon some people will say that you worship foreign and flattering foreigners, and they don't care where the gap is, they think that I am the best in China, and I can't even wear pants in poor places or the best, we are all the best, there is no need to learn from others, learning others is to give up what our ancestors left us, it is wrong.
Too lazy to let himself debate with these people, Yang Yichen chose his own way, whether it is right or wrong, my starting point is good, I don't know what I can bring to Chinese movies in the future, and I don't plan to set myself up with difficult problems, conform to my heart, I can do a little is a little, how many people see and how many people feel, that is not something I can change.
Now like this, it's very good, let you see for yourself where the gap is, whether it has changed, once, twice, three times, the gap is in front of you, don't you know how to change? Human beings can become the masters of life on earth because of continuous change and continuous progress over hundreds of millions of years.
"Chen Zai, just two words, convinced."
The small steel cannon is not afraid of the heavens and the earth, not afraid of offending people, and not afraid of being said to worship foreign people, giving a thumbs up to Yang Yichen, it was all a conventional 'battlefield' layout before, and I haven't seen what is so powerful about these guys in Y-Y-C.
The special effects makeup artist dared to say to him, the director, you can't shoot yet, my preparations are not done yet, you give me three hours, please notify us in advance next time, we will prepare in advance.
In China, who dares to talk to the director like this, the director directly orders, even if there is any objection in his heart, he doesn't dare to say it so confidently, it will be very tactful, and once the director disagrees, he will obey the order immediately.
Xiaogang Cannon's convincing is to Yang Yichen's previous acquisition of Y-Y-C in the United States with a large amount of money and subsequent investment in this company, and now the return is coming, this company can not only start to make money in the United States, but also give back to the country, it is definitely the only scorpion baba, look at it, when those domestic production companies realize the gap in the future, it is time for them to bleed.
"Director, you said that we have been watching the so-called Hollywood blockbusters of Western culture, is it possible that we can make blockbusters that belong to our Orient or Chinese culture for the world to watch?"
Yang Yichen asked a question that almost all Chinese ideal directors have thought about, and when he heard this, Xiao Gang Cannon could only smile and shake his head: "Boy, this shouldn't be a childish question you asked." β
Yang Yichen didn't pause at all, and asked directly: "In your thinking logic, is such a question already a naΓ―ve question?" β
Xiao Gang Cannon was stunned for a moment, yes, when did the director of Huaxia no longer have the confidence to face this problem, and only dared to hide his dream in his heart and face the questions of latecomers with naivety?
Yang Yichen: "I wrote a novel, which can also be said to be a script, which is not finished yet, and I want to shoot it." β
Xiao Gangcang's eyes lit up: "What about the script, take it to me to see, what dynasty is it, and what period of history is it about in China?" β
Yang Yichen shook his head: "This is just the first step, the background of my script is vague, but everyone knows that it is a product of oriental culture, for so many years, audiences all over the world have been raised by an American Hollywood blockbuster that has no inheritance of history, the taste is very simple, they want the most intuitive feeling, why Hollywood blockbusters are popular, that is, they have heritage, culture and spirit, but there is no knowledge that you need to know for a long time, you don't need to watch a movie to understand some Chinese historical knowledge, simpler, The most intuitive to give them. β
Xiao Gangcang nodded thoughtfully, Yang Yichen was immediately embarrassed when he saw his expression, he knew what Xiao Gangcang was thinking, the "Night Banquet" that was not filmed.
At this point, Yang Yichen doesn't want people to share secrets with him, and he doesn't plan to take out the script so early, the timing is not mature enough, at least the brand of Brother Films has not yet become a world-class film company, Yang Yichen's name is not a world-class film celebrity, and he rashly takes out the things that belong to the East directly, unless he goes to learn "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it is directly a shell of the East, and everything he wants to express is the spirit of Western liberalism.
"You kid, keep it a secret from me?"
"No, Dao'er, it's just not mature enough, I want to think again."
"What's the story, the name? Sometimes the name matters. β
Yang Yichen licked his lips slightly on the tip of his tongue, and looked into the distance with a yearning look: "A background setting that has no accurate historical background, but is actually full of Chinese culture, let's call it an alternate history, which can be altered at will, so as not to be caught by the Chinese people for the mistakes of one or two historical figures or etiquette, culture and customs, and there is no need for foreign audiences to watch this drama and find the information of this history first." There is history coming in, and many times our subconscious introduction to the characters will be simplified, such as Jing Ke, then we won't make more introductions, and everyone in China knows who he is and what he did, which is boring. β
"What I want is a non-traditional martial arts model that can accommodate blockbuster special effects, which is very popular on the Internet now, called fantasy, a system standard that is above and below the myth of the martial arts system, a young man's growth adventure, a knife, brazen."
