Chapter 360: Premiere
Under the twinkling sky of the stars in the northwest, it seems that the sky is particularly high and far away, and a fierce fight is taking place in this abrupt cottage on the desert. A group of strangely dressed people who looked fierce and vicious should have been typical of bad people, but at the moment they looked extremely flustered, and the whole cottage seemed to be suffering from something.
Next to the broken earth wall, long rails were laid, and the camera was mounted on a moving cart, facing all this chaos. Zhang Hailei and Bi Xia sat on chairs, looking at the viewfinder with their eyes, determining the angle of the camera's lens; On the other side, several photographers operated another film camera, and the film crew had their own responsibilities.
This is a drama where the spider spirit is exposed. Supreme Treasure asked the second master to kill the spring thirty mother, and after the second family used drugs to stun the spring thirty mother, he never thought that she would expose the prototype, which was a huge spider spirit. There are many wonderful and absurd stories in this process, and it is also a very interesting scene in the play.
The specific plot is not much different from the original book, but there are many changes in the specific scenes. Compared with the original drama, the current technology is more developed, and Bi Xia and others are also very abundant, so it is natural to be perfect in these shots. And the footage of the original book is actually a little broken, but it is just covered by more attractive jokes, Zhang Hailei naturally will not let this happen.
And the spider that appeared is also a model made by the crew at a large price, with sharp legs like knives, huge volume, and streamlined body, all of which show that this is a "beautiful spider". This model has been made at a very early stage, and it took nearly a month to wait until the end of the filming and then go through the post-production special effects, I believe the effect must be very amazing.
"OK, are you all ready?" Zhang Hailei put down the viewfinder, picked up the megaphone and said with a smile: "Stop playing, hurry up and shoot, is it fun to hold a spider?" ”。 Bixia turned his head to look around. Everyone around him made a gesture towards him, Bi Xia nodded, and said, "Director Zhang, it's okay!" ”
After Bi Xia joined the crew, he immediately showed his amazing directing skills and familiarity with film shooting, he knew a little bit about any aspect, and could discuss shooting techniques with the photographer, light with the gaffer, and styling with the props team. He is like a catfish all the time, taking care of everything in the crew.
Got the signal. Giant spider props come into action. Shooting this set of shots is not small, and it is quite cumbersome, this kind of monster shots, not only to shoot the tension, but also to shoot the fear of people fleeing, and at the same time to make the shot not so cluttered.
There are a lot of cameras that need to be used, and each lens from different angles needs to be taken apart to shoot, such as the spider spirit's face and the overall movement, from behind. Shoot both sideways and frontal; There is also the facial expression of this group of bandits, which needs to be filmed several times to take separate materials.
The spider spirit wields two forelimbs, scythe-like forelimbs. Glittering in the moonlight. A group of bandits surrounded it with torches and knives, trying to drive it away.
This part of the shot was completed very quickly, in fact, the whole movie. Chun Thirty Niang showed the prototype just once, just a few shots, and for these shots. This spider prop cost hundreds of thousands, and it is really unreasonable for filmmakers to spend money in order to pursue the realistic effect of the movie.
The next shot is the other shots in the same scene, all of which are very trivial and connected together. In fact, this scene is a good revelation of the selfish emotions between people. The Supreme Treasure deceived the blind man to help his subordinates, and he chose to escape, and was finally treated as a spider spirit and suffered a beating.
Time passed day by day, and the filming process of "Journey to the West" advanced in laughter every day, and when the first half of the filming was about to end, Wu Meizi finally came to the crew, and her arrival made the three heroines finally get together, although there was no rivalry between them.
Soon the time came to April, and on this day, at six o'clock in the afternoon, Bi Xia came to Zhang Hailei's side and asked him for an hour of leave.
"What's the matter? What can you do if you take an hour off, if you really have something to say, I'll give you a vacation. Zhang Hailei patted Bi Xia on the shoulder and said very simply, in recent times, Bi Xia has helped him too much.
In fact, for mainland directors, they don't have much experience in shooting monster and magic movies, and Zhang Hailei has no such experience before, and he is not as good as Bi Xia in this regard, he at least made a "A Chinese Ghost Story". At the same time, Bi Xia took care of the crew so well that he didn't know how many things he saved.
"It's not a big deal.,Today is the time when my sister's animation is released for the first time.,I want to see it.,Give her a heart." Bi Xia said with a smile.
"Good guy, your brothers and sisters are all talents, my brother makes movies, and my sister draws comics, all of which are related to culture, which is good enough." Zhang Hailei gave a thumbs up and praised one, he looked at the time, stood up, raised the megaphone in his hand, and said loudly: "Stop, stop, listen to me, Sister Bi Xia's animation will be on TV for the first time, I'll give you an hour off, it happens to be a meal, do you want to support it together?" ”
"Yes!"
"A must!"
"Princess Chang'er's work, joyful! I love it......."
The scene suddenly became a sea of joy. Bi Xia is very popular in the crew, if he just has a gentle personality, it is not impossible for people to find him problems; If he is simply popular, he will be jealous of him; But he is not only a big star and a big director, but he is so polite to everyone, and at the same time his professional skills are excellent, no one in the crew is jealous of him, and he is not a person on the channel at all. Even with it, he gave Bi Chang face. Besides, Bi Chang's popularity among the people is not low, many people in the crew have heard of her, and Princess Chang'er's name is very loud.
"It's Princess Chang'er, this is a must, after reading it, I will recommend and praise it on **Weibo." Shi Yingjie jumped out of nowhere and said to the people around him.
"Monkey, why are you so familiar!" Wu Meng's words were obviously provocative.
"Uncle Meng, you have something to say!" understands that there are many people, and Mr. Yu Qian took over the conversation.
"Hey, you don't know. Bi Chang is really a fairy-like girl, beautiful, beautiful, talented, kind, cute, the goddess is ......" Shi Yingjie tilted his head, looked at the sunset sky, pressed his hands in his heart, and looked obsessed.
"Let's go, what are you doing here, you seem to be very familiar with Bi Chang." Wu Meizi didn't want to push Shi Yingjie angrily.
"That's it, what's the matter with you, it's a lot of things!" Ye Xiuxiu and Zhou Bin pushed Shi Yingjie alone. There are three women here, you Shi Yingjie is in public, singing such merits and virtues, have you ever thought about how others feel? Isn't that uncomfortable?
The director spoke, many protagonists cheered, and everyone's work was very fast, and the props team didn't know where to take out a huge calendar-style screen, and connected it to the computer to implement synchronous playback. Many crew members sat on small benches, holding boxed lunches in their hands, and waited for the broadcast of "Joyful" with great interest.
Seeing everyone giving face like this, and then looking at everyone's current appearance, it is very similar to the scene in the eighties and nineties, when watching a public screen movie in the countryside, Bi Xia couldn't help but pick up his mobile phone and take a picture, he decided to send this photo to Weibo as a congratulatory gift to Bi Chang.
At 6:25, the cartoon officially began, and the originally noisy scene immediately became quiet.
First of all, the performance of the picture is amazing, the cute and lively animal characters are lifelike, and even the details such as animal hair and clothes have a cute texture. And no matter the usual expressions, demeanor, or actions are smooth and natural, the most important plot design is funny and interesting, and it is very educational, which is definitely an unprecedented animation enjoyment in China!
At the end of the first episode, Bi Xia made a call to Jiangnan Satellite TV on the spot, and the ratings of the first episode reached 15.5%!
"Yummy!" Wu Miko's shooting hand jumped, this rating has beaten other cartoons in the same period, it's amazing!
"Awesome!" Everyone gave a thumbs up and congratulated Bi Xia. Having said that, this is indeed a very good cartoon, and compared with other domestic cartoons, the gap is too big!
"I'll let my children take a good look when I go back.,If you want to watch animation, you have to watch this.,That's what makes sense!"
"Yes, that's right, this is the conscience of the industry!"
Hearing everyone's discussion, a smile appeared on the corner of Bi Xia's mouth, and he was very happy for Bi Chang. Soon the second episode began to be broadcast, Jiangnan Satellite TV is currently the first round of two episodes a day, and the ratings of the second episode were subsequently reported to Bi Xia, 17.3%! It's incredible that it directly equaled its highest ratings in another time and space in the second episode.
As soon as Bi Xia's phone hung up, the phone rang:
"Brother, do you know what day it is?" Bi Chang's coquettish voice sounded.
"What a day, my brother is so busy filming that I forgot it!" Bi Xia forced a smile and pretended not to know.
"Why are you like this, it's too bad, woo ......" As he spoke, Bi Chang's voice became choked on the other end of the phone.
"Don't cry, don't cry, can I really forget, silly girl. Brother was watching it just now, and he was cheering you on with everyone in the crew. Seeing this, Bi Xia hurriedly comforted, this little girl, now her tears are becoming more and more unreasonable, it is too distressing.
"Really?" Bi Chang's voice was still thick nasal, and he said suspiciously.
"Of course it's true, I'll send you a photo to celebrate your premiere victory, the ratings are 17.3%, and the first in the same segment is amazing!" Bi Xia's heartfelt joy and blessings.
"Thank you, brother, it's all your ...... for me" (to be continued...... to be continued)
