Chapter 55: A Discussion of Character Styling

Sugisawa picked up the script in his hand and began to talk about his design concept.

Character design is the overall image design of the character, which includes the multi-dimensional and all-round design of the character's hairstyle, hair accessories, makeup, clothing, and props, which is no longer just a makeup design.

"I still read the novel "The First Sequence" very seriously, the characters in it are still very plump, and they can be distinguished from many other similar novels, and the extreme characters in many novels are really good to shape, but most of the characters in the novel "The First Sequence" are not so extreme, which can make the reader's sense of substitution very strong and not blindly heroic direction, so there will be a lot of difficulties when dealing with characters in film and television. That's something we need to take into account in our design. ”

Sugisawa Hai's words,It's very professional,But those present are the top talents in the industry,Of course, they can understand Sugisawa's words,At the same time, they also expressed a strong agreement with Sugisawa Hai's words,It's really a difficult point to create a character in such a movie.,If you change the script to the kind of character image that is either good or evil, it will make this movie a little detached from the original book.。

Sea Sugisawa continued:

According to the content of the original work, the transcendent person is almost no different from normal people in appearance, but in the selection of some characters, I think it is still possible to choose a face that fits the ability of the transcendent person as the casting standard, which can also reduce the difficulty of our character modeling. For example, in the choice of Yan Liuyuan, we can choose mixed-race people, which is more in line with the character's divine character, and the Western facial contours will be more three-dimensional and different from the flexible beauty of the East, so I think that mixed-race people with both Eastern faces and Western contours are the most ideal way to choose as candidates, and I don't think these characters necessarily need an all-star lineup. Instead, choose from someone who is more suitable for your appearance. ”

Sugisawa Hai's words broke the calm of the audience in an instant.

You must know that such a high-cost movie rarely chooses to use amateurs as the leading actors in several important scenes, after all, with the star effect, it is not too much of a problem for the whole film to return to its cost or even make a lot of money.

The distributor of the film spoke directly at this time:

"Kosugi, do you know what this means, we are likely to lose a large part of the support, many times the audience watches movies not entirely for the plot, to a large extent in the star effect, if this is the case, there is a high probability that we will lose money, let alone make money, this is a very serious problem, if it is a small-budget movie, it is understandable to do this, but there is almost no such precedent for large-cost movies."

Sugisawa thought for a moment and then said:

"I still want to stick to one of my own ideas, but we don't use celebrities but not all stars. I still hope to find a suitable person to play, rather than looking for some stars to make up the numbers. ”

Then another man said:

"Every star has his audience, according to the situation of maximizing benefits, I think it will be more appropriate to choose stars, after all, their fans are traffic, and this is very conducive to our early market development."

Sugisawa shook his head and continued:

"If the all-star lineup, our cost is likely to be reduced, and the production will not be so good, the crew now has a total cost of 370 million to shoot, but, to be honest, if the all-star lineup, a large part of the funds will go to the hands of the stars, and the production cost left to us will be very low."

There are still people who are ready to refute Sugisawa Hai, but at this moment, Director Zhang Da spoke:

"I don't think Kosugi's proposal is impossible, and it even coincides with me. In my opinion, such a movie should be as much as possible to restore the situation in the novel, and the same is true for the character setting, if there is a very suitable amateur and a more suitable star in the casting process, I will not hesitate to choose this amateur, Kosugi, you continue to say what you think. ”

Director Zhang Da smiled at Sugisawa and nodded.

Sea Sugisawa continued:

"The special effects production of this movie may be relatively weak in the later stage, so in the same period, I hope to increase the investment in special effects makeup, and there will be a lot of scenes in this movie, so I will also choose to deal with the damage makeup. Minimize the pressure of post-production, so the number of teams I need for this part may be relatively large, and I am currently considering that some of my classmates are involved in the design process, and the special effects props of the main characters will be produced and processed by ourselves, and the rest will be produced by the stage factory, so it will also cost a lot of money in this area. ”

After all, the cost of the footage that can be processed at the same time will definitely be much lower than the cost of post-processing, and the effect will be the most ideal.

After seeing that everyone had no problems, Sugisawa continued:

"The problem of the characters' costumes, after all, this is a novel set in the wasteland era, so I hope there will be a strong contrast in the characters' costumes, reflecting the state of the characters of a class. The protagonist's costume also needs a lot of costumes to present, and it is not possible to directly choose the close costume just to ensure the recognition of the character, in the early stage of the protagonist's 'little hooligan' costume, I hope to keep the same as the refugee, not because he is the protagonist and his costume is still glamorous, which is also reflected in the original work, the difference in identity and status of these people in order to live and perform are different. ”

In fact, some people still want to refute Sugisawa's point of view, but after carefully thinking about the general environment, they still agree with Sugisawa's point of view, because Sugisawa's idea is indeed more in line with the plot trend and more realistic, and he can't make his costume look out of place because he needs to highlight a person, which is a bit contrary to the development of the script.

This time, Sugisawa gave everyone a long time to think about, and after seeing that everyone had no objections, Sugisawa also chose to end this speech, to be honest, his views actually deviated from the trend of mainstream movies to a certain extent.
