Chapter 249: Power on
"Everyone, everyone should have read the script, right?"
Zhang Yang sat at the top, holding the script in his hand.
After seeing everyone nodding, he said directly: "Don't say anything superfluous, let's discuss what needs to be paid attention to in the special effects of the movie." ”
"First of all, everyone should be clear, this is an oriental fantasy movie!"
"Since it is an oriental fantasy movie, the special effects in the movie must be made in line with oriental culture, in line with oriental aesthetics, and tampering is not allowed at will, which is the most basic and important point!"
What he wants to promote is the oriental fantasy culture, not just the fantasy, and he will never allow the pictures made in the movie to become strange and unlike.
This round of fantasy film boom has made the domestic special effects business in short supply, and among these people invited by Xuanyu are not only from the Dragon Country, but also some talents from the Eastern Universe Country and the Western Beautiful Country.
Xuanyu's own people are okay to say, but they are afraid that the remaining foreign companies will carry private goods in it.
There is a strange phenomenon in the film industry of the Dragon Kingdom.
There are many joint venture films co-produced by things, no matter how large the investment, how well-made, and how exciting the special effects are, they often do not get a good box office when they are released in Dragon Kingdom.
The reason for this is that the things presented in the movie do not conform to the image in the traditional oriental culture at all.
For example, a few years ago, a monster movie "The Great Wall".
Just looking at the name, the audience can't imagine that the monster that looks like a large lizard in this movie is actually a gluttony in traditional mythology!
Who's gluttonous like this?
There is also a movie that is obviously a story of the East, and in the end, it is actually two foreigners who save the world!
This is where flamboyance is absolutely intolerable.
Every image in the movie "Covering the Sky 2" must be an ancient image with oriental charm, and the appearance of several dark supremes must also be the appearance of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, and because there are similar things in the East and the West, you can't make your own idea to make the picture into an aesthetic image under Western culture, nor can it be a combination of Chinese and Western, it must be a complete oriental image!
"In this movie, the special effects made by everyone must be created in strict accordance with the artwork given by Xuanyu, and indiscriminate deletion and alteration are not allowed."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"If someone messes around......"
Zhang Yang sneered.
"Bear the consequences!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Yang's eyes focused on the direction where the people from the foreign special effects companies were sitting.
The cold eyes made the hearts of the representatives of several foreign special effects companies tighten.
He is afraid that some of these people will mess around and not pay attention to the rules, and the later claims and everything will be counted, and it will affect the creation of the film is a big deal.
"Understood!"
No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, on the surface, everyone agreed in unison.
Zhang Yang didn't continue, just clicked and stopped, taking a precautionary shot, lest some people really create indiscriminately.
"You just have to know what you know."
Retracting his gaze, he turned his head to look at Liang Bing: "Liang Bing, send the sketch down." ”
"Good!"
Liang Bing nodded in response, took out several stacks of sketches from the bags of several colleagues behind him, and distributed them to everyone present one by one.
Zhang Yang also took one in his hand.
He picked one up and showed it.
"These are the sketches of several fights and backgrounds in the movie "Covering the Sky 2", everyone can see it."
Immediately there was a clatter of paper flipping in the conference room.
The drawings are beautiful pictures.
All of them were drafted by Liang Bing and others from the art department overnight during the audition.
According to Zhang Yang's request, the Chengxian Road battlefield, Jifu, Hangu Pass, and some scenes on the earth that occurred in the whole play were all recreated with real prototypes, making it look more like a scene in a fantasy world.
After all, although the scenery in reality is beautiful, it obviously does not match the scenery in "Covering the Sky".
If nothing else, just a tree.
Who is sure that in the kind of place where you can cultivate in the Big Dipper Star Domain, the trees will look the same as the trees on the earth?
Let's talk about animals.
It's all different planets, are the animals still lions and tigers?
So like some of the background settings, all the sketches have been revised more brilliantly and exaggeratedly.
In addition to the sketches of the scenes, there are also several fights to be filmed in the movie and the paper images of the six forbidden areas.
In the fighting part, Liang Bing pondered and drew a lot of exquisite battle pictures.
There is the battle between Ye Fan and the overlord after the completion of the Holy Body, and there is also the battle of the ruthless emperor bathing in the immortal light to suppress the dark turmoil in the cosmic border wilderness, and there is also the picture of the emperor's soldiers crossing the sky and destroying hundreds of millions of stars.
The Six Forbidden Zone Supremes also drew several character color pictures in advance.
Each of them is dressed in battle armor, bathed in darkness, ruthless and domineering.
However, the faces of the characters above are all of his own imagination.
It's definitely not going to work.
In the later stage, it had to be re-modified according to the appearance of several selected actors.
Otherwise, the actor made a vain move, and the faces of the characters presented were not real enough.
Zhang Yang patted the sketch and said: "These drafts are preliminary settings, let everyone know for the time being, and then modify them according to the actual situation after the official startup." ”
"Your current task is to read the manuscript once, have a general overall image, keep it in your mind, and put forward what you think is inappropriate, so as not to have disputes after the camera is turned on."
"Now, let's start discussing what you think."
Zhang Yang waved his hand.
With the main tone he set, everyone immediately began to discuss.
"Here I think it should be changed, the scene is too realistic and too common, and it should be added a little more exaggerated enough to be different from the real world......"
"Does the sound and light effects of this battle need to be changed?"
“......”
I have to say that none of the people present are guys who sell dog meat on sheep's heads.
Everyone who can make it to the top of an international special effects company has a strong technical background.
Led by Zhang Yang, assisted by Liang Bing and Lu Lecheng.
In the next month, the battle scenes, venue backgrounds, character costumes, appearances and other places that need to use special effects in the whole film have all been set up in a general framework, and the specific ones can be modified as appropriate after the film is finished and actually produced.
In addition, Zhang Yang also took advantage of this time to complete the text and picture storyboard of the entire movie.
Some issues in the script, such as the use of shots in the whole movie, lighting angles, and the distant and close shots of the characters, also have a basic plan.
It is equivalent to saying that although the movie has not officially started filming, Zhang Yang already has a basic outline in his mind.
......
Mid-April.
All the preliminary preparations for "Covering the Sky 2" are ready.
Xuanyu officially issued a notice to the outside world, and "Covering the Sky 2" was officially launched!
The entire crew went up and down, led by Zhang Yang, and rushed to the first shooting venue!
