Chapter 183: Preliminary preparations for "Yang God".
"First of all, the music, the movie version of the music is not suitable for the TV series, I want to have a new interlude, a theme, an ending song.
The second is special effects, the company's special effects department now has a job on everyone's hands, and I really can't afford to be responsible for the special effects of "Covering the Sky", and I am not very proficient in special effects, so I have to find an outside special effects company to do it.
Finally, there are the actors, in addition to the main actors who played in the movie version in the first season, there are many roles that do not have suitable actors. ”
Hu Kaitian asked the questions one by one, and Zhang Yang frowned and pondered.
The music department, as the worst developed department of Xuanyu, is indeed not so strong in many aspects.
It is indeed not suitable for the music of the movie version of "Covering the Sky" to be reused as the TV series version, and the second and third seasons of "Covering the Sky" will be filmed in the later stage......
The music department is in charge of three plays, and it must be too busy.
Then there's the special effects.
Why are the special effects of Dragon Kingdom's film and television works poor?
In fact, the technology of the special effects company in the dragon country is no worse than that of foreign special effects companies, and the reason for the poor special effects of the work is that there is no professional visual effects guide, and the director does not know much about special effects, so he just thinks that it is almost enough.
Hu Kaitian's directing ability may be first-class, but he may only be second-rate or third-rate in terms of special effects and vision, even if Liang Bing of the art department leads people to help, but he is responsible for three plays at a time, and the art department alone is not busy.
As for the actor.
Many characters in the drama version did not appear in the movie version, so even if there is the original cast of the film version, some roles are still vacant.
These three issues must be addressed.
In addition to "Covering the Sky", the Yang God he wants to shoot himself also faces problems in this regard.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yang looked at the person in charge of the music department.
"Director Hu is right, in this case, your music department has to find a way, if we can't do it ourselves, we will find outsiders to do it, there are so many musicians in China, we will definitely be able to solve this problem."
"Understood."
The person in charge of the music department nodded and replied: "I'm already in contact, I have made an appointment for a few songs, and I will hand it over to Director Hu and let him choose when the time comes." ”
"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded and said: "That's good, you also have to do a good job in the music of the other two plays, and you can't choose some songs that don't fit the theme." ”
"Understood."
The head of the music department looked embarrassed, but still said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yang saw his face, and said: "I know that the music department has a heavy task, so I will give you a fund to buy it from outside, and at the same time dig people, as long as you meet the right music talents, you will dig them all in and expand the music department." ”
"Good!"
The person in charge of the music department had a soothing face and answered happily.
The entire Xuanyu and other departments have developed very well, but it is his music department, which has always been at the bottom, and now there are funds approved by Zhang Yang.
Not only the musical problems of the three plays have been solved, but also the development of the music department itself.
After solving a problem, Zhang Yang looked at Hu Kaitian again.
"The problem of special effects, since you can contact the special effects company outside, then go find someone, no matter what method you use, just one!" He stretched out a finger and said solemnly: "Produced by Xuanyu, it must be a high-quality product!" This is the praise of the outside world for us, so in terms of special effects, we must definitely strive for excellence, and we can't use five-cent special effects to deal with the audience.
I will ask the art department to send someone to work with you to draw the script storyboard, the makeup of the characters, and the special effects screens, and you will follow the drawings from the art department.
When shooting, you should also leave blank space for post-production special effects, and make sure that the whole picture is harmonious and natural, and there are no mistakes. ”
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
Hu Kaitian and Liang Bing should be one after another.
Needless to say, Liang Bing's art skills are not too much, he has his own understanding of fantasy culture, and Liang Bing can draw him with the brush in his hand with the brush he describes and what the specific presentation looks like.
With his help, and with the crew sent by a professional special effects company, I believe that the special effects of the drama version of "Covering the Sky" are not a big problem.
"As for the actors, the original cast is already in place, right?"
The newly appointed manager of the training department, Mr. Wang, immediately replied: "All of them have been contacted." ”
"In this case, as soon as the meeting is over, you will immediately release the news to the major domestic actor companies and inform interested actors to come over for auditions." Zhang Yang said: "Including all the roles that are missing in the three plays, Director Hu and Wang will always count all the roles that need to be replaced and missing, and after you get the data, you will organize the actors to audition, don't make any mistakes!" ”
Glancing at Zou Yun who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, and thinking of the actors in the training department who had not yet debuted, Zhang Yang thought about it and added: "The original actors in the training department also participated in this audition, and some roles with few scenes and matched with the actors give priority to the company's own actors, you know?" ”
Since the establishment of the training department, it is only Zou Yun who has really come out.
Fan Leizhou and the three were all selected for the first audition, and they were not trained by the training department.
Anyway, there are some small roles with few scenes, but they are much stronger than those characters outside who don't have a word, as long as it is suitable, it is definitely much better to hand it over to your own people than outsiders.
And it can also cultivate talents, and then come out of a few hard-working and attitude-oriented people like Fan Leizhou, Zhang Yang doesn't mind secretly helping out.
It can not only bring a lot of income to the company, but also train actors for future plays.
"Roger."
Manager Wang was sitting in a precarious position, and his voice should be in a deep voice.
"What's the problem? Director Hu? ”
Zhang Yang looked at Hu Kaitian again.
"No problem."
Hu Kaitian shook his head and sat down very reassuringly.
The most satisfying thing about his work in Xuanyu is that Xuanyu itself has any link that all film and television works need, even if he is too busy, Zhang Yang is willing to contribute and fully support it.
Compared to when he was in the light before, he was pulling around for a little money, Hu Kaitian felt extremely happy at the moment.
"That's good."
Zhang Yang Zhengse said: "Although you are fine, I still have something to tell you." ”
"The ugly words are said in the front, "Covering the Sky" is a big IP, and the stakes are very high, although I believe in your ability, but there are some things, since we want to shoot for the audience, we must do our best."
"Special effects performance, combat power level, actor performance...... All elements in the filming of the whole drama must be done to the best of their ability, and there must be no mistakes, are you confident? ”
When chatting in private, Zhang Yang once communicated with Hu Kaitian about some of his own thoughts in the shooting, and Hu Kaitian also agreed.
However, it was private, this time at the conference, in front of all the executives of the company, he needed Hu Kaitian to make a statement again, and give other people who didn't know him a chance to believe that he had the ability not to destroy "Covering the Sky".
Zhang Yang's eyes were projected on Hu Kaitian, and everyone in the conference room was also staring at him.
Hu Kaitian suddenly felt heavy on his body.
Thinking about the 500 million-level investment in "Covering the Sky", and then feeling the eyes of everyone in the conference room, at this moment, Hu Kaitian inexplicably felt a lot of pressure.
The scenes he came to Xuanyu to shoot were not the bad scenes he had filmed before, and so much investment was absolutely not allowed to be child's play, during this time, he himself also carefully checked, walked on thin ice, took all possible influencing factors into account, and also communicated with Zhang Yang about his thoughts on filming.
At this time, it's time for him to step up.
I saw him take a few deep breaths, and then all the facial features on his entire face were extremely serious.
"Have faith!"
The three words were said categorically, without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang's expression was soothing, and he said with a smile: "Then the filming of "Covering the Sky" will be handed over to you!" ”
"Yes!"
Hu Kaitian nodded heavily.
Bang Bang Bang ~
There was applause in the room.
After waiting for a few seconds, the applause stopped in time, and everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Yang again.
Everyone knows that there are three plays, and now that the arrangements for "Covering the Sky" and "Dragon and Snake" are over, the next thing is "Yang God" by Zhang Yang himself!
Dongdong~
Fingertips tapped lightly on the table, stretched his eyes around the audience, and said slowly: "Since the two plays have been solved, the next thing is my new play, "Yang God"!" ”
"The first two parts have the foundation of the previous work, "Yang God" is different, it is a new new play, I have already told you to prepare early, now tell me how you are preparing for each of you, right?"
His gaze went directly to the leaders of the various departments sitting at the head of the house.
Under his gaze, the leaders of each department stood up one after the other, in order of their seats, and answered.
"Mr. Zhang, the music department has begun to prepare, and we have contacted a well-known singer in the industry to compose songs for "Yang God".
As soon as the director of the music department sat down, the person in charge of the props stood up again.
"The props team has already prepared manpower, and when we get the script, we can start making the props that need to be used in the corresponding shooting......"
"Costume Group ......"
"Makeup & Styling Team ......"
"Art Department ......"
“......”
The heads of each department all stood up and reported, Zhang Yang listened carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and asked people to sit down.
Although the script has not yet been released.
But the three scripts have original books that can be used as references, and everyone knows that their bosses respect the original when filming.
Therefore, under his arrangement, the preliminary preparations for "Yang God" are also the same as the other two plays, using the original book as a reference, and various departments of Xuanyu began to prepare early.
This mobilization meeting, in fact, is to send the script down, so that everyone can see it, and then confirm the specific preparation progress, check and fill in the gaps.
All the people in charge in the conference room report one by one.
According to everyone's reports, Zhang Yang gradually knew in his heart.
After the huge crew team raised by Xuan Yu was divided into three, the largest group was the team he left for himself to shoot "Yang God".
In the original crew, the people with the best skills and the longest time with him are all in this group.
In addition, under the leadership of Liang Bing, the art department has also drawn a lot of drawings, such as the image drawings of Hong Yi, Yuan Fei, Bai Ziyue, and Hong Xuanji, as well as the drawings of the buildings of the Great Chan Temple, Yujing City, and the Imperial Palace, as well as the battle pictures of the gods and souls inside, and the image drawings of the Yaksha King, the Rakshasa King, the past Mida Sutra, the Blood Pattern Steel, and the Flame Explosion Rune Sword.
In the later stage, when the crew is established, Liang Bing will personally lead the team to join the group, cooperate with him to draw the storyboard script, and cooperate with the special effects company personnel to discuss the special effects scenes presented in the play.
Any detail, what flames, swords, Taoism, martial arts, and other things that may need to be used have basic drawings.
The original drawings have been distributed to various departments in accordance with the requirements.
Based on these drawings, the people in charge of costumes, makeup, styling, and props have already begun to work on the customization of special costumes and the production of shooting props.
The field affairs and outreach in the crew have also booked a suitable filming venue.
For example, the scenes of the Marquis of Wuwen's Mansion, Yujing City, Sanhualou, and the Imperial Palace of the Daqian Imperial Court all greeted the Zhudian side and agreed on the entry time.
After entering the venue, these venues are still in a realistic state after all, and there is a big gap between them and the Great Qianhuang Dynasty in the original book, and there is less fantasy.
Zhang Yang will unite special effects and art, and then transform a new fantasy style building on the basis of real buildings.
In terms of music, the music department has also contacted domestic professional singers and songwriters to create ending songs, theme songs, and interludes tailored for "Yang God".
The martial arts movements are because Peng Zulong is in charge of "Dragon and Snake" and "Covering the Sky", so he really lacks skills, and he spent a lot of money to invite other martial arts teams in the circle to design fighting actions for the whole play.
The other party is ready, just wait for Zhang Yang's side to get ready, and immediately set off to join the crew.
In addition, the props needed in the play have also been customized.
In terms of special effects, three professional special effects companies were also invited to join the group to follow the filming to provide good services for the special effects of "Yang God".
It can be said that every aspect of the entire "Yang God", every department of Xuanyu is trying their best to prepare.
"Good."
After listening to the report, Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction.
The work ability of the leaders of various departments is there, and the employees of Xuanyu are also time-tested shooting warriors, and he personally ordered it, believing that no one will disobey the yang and the yin, and it will be shoddy.
The preparations for these departments are going well, and the most important thing to leave the machine is the problem of the actors.
Unlike the other two plays, the actors of "Yang God" are a big problem, especially Hong Yi.
He has seen all the young actors submitted by the training department, none of them are suitable, and the newly appointed Manager Wang also knows that he has been looking for suitable actors for him.
"Manager Wang, has Hong Yi's actor found the right candidate?"
He looked at Manager Wang.
Manager Wang's full name is Wang Yan, a very capable woman.
In his thirties, he was a well-known agent in the industry before coming to Xuanyu, and he was poached by Lin Xiaohan looking for a headhunter, and he has been acting as a deputy in the training department.
Now that Wang Fei is going to film, he has no time to manage the company's affairs, Lin Xiaohan wants to bring it up, and Wang Yan will take advantage of the trend.
She was the deputy of the training department, and she was very familiar with the entire training department after becoming a regular person.
All the training teachers in the training department, the actors who have not yet debuted, and most of the domestic actors can remember the basic confidence.
The documents that Zhang Yang asked the training department to submit before were sorted out by her.
At that time, more than 60 young actors who were in line with Hong Yi's age and had good looks were handed in, but Wang Yan didn't expect that none of these people would meet the boss's ideas, so she had to expand the scope and look for another one.
For this matter, she contacted all her acquaintances, and found a group of young actors who were ready to arrange auditions, and I have to say that her ability is indeed very strong.
It's just that Zhang Yang has been busy and has no time to look, but she also knows that she has found someone again, and she just took advantage of the meeting to ask about the situation.
