Chapter 221 Qiao Feng, who carries the audio, on the importance of martial arts BGM (ask for a full order!) )
"Here, get ready!"
This is a very important scene in the whole show, and it can also be said to be the key to attracting people to watch this show!
That's the beginning of the first episode!
Although this version did not shoot Duan Yu first according to the original book, it was filmed...... The beggars went deep into the Western Xia military camp and assassinated Marshal Helian Tieshu, and then Qiao Feng dared to come to the rescue!
But......
Just this paragraph is enough to make people have a huge interest in this show!
Because in the first episode, there are the most exciting and longest fight clips in the whole show!
The group of beggars failed to assassinate Helian Tieshu, and then were chased out of the city, Qiao Feng rushed to the rescue, this section lasted for almost fifteen minutes, of which there were ten minutes of real fighting, and these ten minutes of fighting have not stopped, it is definitely a visual feast!
More than two dozen horses have been prepared, because with the endorsement of the provincial Taiwan Luan, it is very convenient to use props and the like!
It's like these two dozen horses, all borrowed from the surrounding pastures, these don't need to be considered by traveling, as long as they open their mouths, they can get them.
And Luan has time to come to the set today.
Of course, this is no longer a film and television base, but a col in Hongwangou!
Zhou You led the actors of Qiao Feng and Murong Fu, Huang Jin and Zhang Zhi, as well as the four villains, the actors of the beggar gang, and dozens of group performances!
At this time, at the col, Zhou You is explaining the position to everyone.
"Tsk, this week, the teacher is filming, it's very different from usual!"
Although she has only been in contact with Zhou You a few times, Zhou You usually gives her the feeling of being relatively gentle and elegant, and she doesn't talk much, but at this time, Zhou You has a serious face, and even a little bit of an expression that is not angry and arrogant.
Like Huang Jin, Zhang Zhi, and even the old drama bones who played Deputy Ma's gang leader and others, they all listened obediently in front of Zhou You.
Liang Yuan smiled: "That's not, if Director Zhou hadn't acted like this, how could he come up with high-quality works!" ”
In fact, the two don't know much about martial arts, but they have already watched "Dragon Babu", but they haven't finished reading it, as for "Six-Fingered Qin Demon", they have also seen it, and it can only be said that this kind of expression seems to be quite attractive to young people, especially for male audiences.
Let's put it this way, whether it is a movie or a TV series, or a variety show and other programs, most of the audiences for them seem to be women, so when everyone publishes a work, they will subconsciously consider the female audience group, as for men, it doesn't seem to be very important, but you must know that the consumption power of this group of men is not low at all, especially young boys, but men are more rational!
To put it bluntly, women's money is easy to earn, and if you want to make men's money, you have to use your brains, or you have to really come up with something of quality.
And a lot of capital adheres to the principle that since it can make money simply, why should it increase the difficulty for itself, so the current ratio of men and women in the audience has reached the realm of almost 2:8.
To put it bluntly, generally men are chasing dramas, and women are chasing people!
It's easy to create a good drama or it's easy to create a star, you know it with your toes!
"Camera, you two cameras follow them, and then go through this line, jump into the main seat, and get a close-up, got it?"
"Good!"
With the tour arranged, the idle people have already exited, and when Zhou You gave an order, first the people on the left side started fighting, then the right side, and finally the three jumped into the host seat and got closer!
It's not that Luan hasn't watched filming, but most of the things she used to watch on the scene were modern urban dramas!
And modern urban TV dramas have one of the biggest features, that is, lines!
In other words, the people in the camera are basically speaking lines, and no one is talking in a shot like this, they are all filming of a whirring fight, and she is seeing it for the first time!
It's just that......
Why do you look so embarrassed!
Wen Qing said on the side: "Martial arts films need post-production, at least they have to be edited to watch them, if you watch them live, there is basically nothing to watch, and you will even feel quite child's play!" ”
In general urban dramas, there are two most important points, one is the lines, and the other is the acting!
But martial arts films are different, according to Zhou You, the fight is the most important, followed by acting, and then the lines, to put it bluntly, different categories naturally have different emphasis.
It's like in a horror movie, the most important thing is the environment layout and shooting techniques, then the acting, and the lines...... Sometimes the most terrifying paragraph, the lines are not needed.
Chatting here, people have already been asked to prepare for traveling around.
This is a filming of flying on the grass, in the plot, after the assassination of the deputy gang leader and others failed, they were chased out by the chasing soldiers, the chasing soldiers were chased on horseback, and the deputy gang leader and others were flying on the grass and running in front!
In this filming, there are also no lines!
The track was arranged early, and with the gesture of traveling here, the people on horseback first tested and ran, and this shot was also to be filmed, after all, the editing was to be used!
Then the two of them began to fly on the grass!
Although he had already been trained, because the two actors were not in their early twenties, but about forty years old, when they hung Weiya, Mr. Wang still accidentally came over!
"No, it's a bit top-heavy!"
Then there were constant attempts, and finally, the chase scene of flying on the grass was filmed.
Luan Liao saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that it would take more than two hours to shoot just a few shots!" ”
Wen Qing said: "This is fast, mainly because everyone involved in the filming has been specially trained for a week or two in advance, Weiya is a thing, ordinary people can't hang it, and some people may be afraid of heights and the like, this is all something that needs to be overcome!" ”
It's like not everyone dares to bungee jump, and not everyone dares to ride a hot air balloon!
And Luan soon knew why Zhou You asked her to insure the crew.
In this paragraph, in addition to the two people such as Deputy Gang Leader Qima, three of the four villains, as well as Qiao Feng and Murong Fu, all need to hang Weiya.
Especially Murong Fu and Qiao Feng's actors Zhang Zhi and Huang Jin!
Huang Jin, as a low-level actor who has been running for ten years, being able to play Qiao Feng is definitely something he never dreamed of, and the green smoke from the ancestral tomb is not enough to compare, so after arriving in Longshi, he focused on training, and his hardness is definitely one of the best in the crew of "Tianlong"!
At this time, Huang Jin had already tied up Weiya, and it was Qiao Feng who appeared on horseback!
As the film crew was ready, Zhou You had already gestured, and then Huang Jin slapped the horse's buttocks, Marr under his crotch ran quickly, and the rail car also followed at a constant speed on the side.
Finally arrived at the place where he took off, Huang Jin jumped deeply, flew into the air, shrunk his palms to his chest, and then pushed it out violently.
At the same time, on the ground side, a group of group performers also received the news and rolled back to the ground in unison!
For these two shots, Zhou You shot three times, mainly to select the handsome pictures of Qiao Feng's appearance!
And then there is the solo fight of Qiao Feng and Murong Fu!
The two fought directly in the air, and below were the startled horses!
The most important thing is that the two of them still need to make a move to see the move, you punch, I block, you palm, I dodge sideways, and my feet have to move, not stiff and still!
This scene, combined with the more than 20 horses that were alarmed above and below, saw Luan and took a breath of cold air!
"This ...... No wonder Mr. Zhou asked me to buy insurance for these actors, it's too dangerous! ”
Weiya is already very dangerous, not to mention that there are more than 20 frightened horses below, if this falls, it is a life-threatening thing!
"This Wia has been improved, not to mention hanging a person, a car is no problem, of course, before each use, you need to check carefully!"
Weiya is rarely used in the film and television industry, after all, previous TV series or movies rarely make characters fly!
But......
Although this scene is very shocking, it ......
It's still dry, although I know that this is just a shooting scene, but Luan is still a little disappointed!
After all......
This is different from the martial arts movie she thought in her heart, and this matter, Luan really talked to Zhou You!
Zhou You smiled undeniably at Luan's thoughts, and then a week later, when he was resting at work, Zhou You found Luan.
"Something?"
"Let me show you a finished product!"
"Oh!" Luan's eyes lit up instantly, after all......
The finished product is naturally different from the material, you know, a really good editor can even cut out a good work with a very ordinary material!
Luan, Liang Yuan, plus Huang Jin, Zhang Zhi and others are all here.
After all......
They also want to know what they shoot and what the finished product looks like!
Melon seeds, peanuts, drinks, small beer!
It's the beginning of April, and the weather is slowly getting warmer, and even at night, everyone is just wearing their coats!
In the rest building of the film and television base, Zhou You imported a ten-minute encrypted finished product, and then clicked play!
Everybody stared at the big screen and ......
The picture flashed, and it went directly to the main drama!
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the killing night is high!
The battle flags fluttered on the castle tower, and a team of five guards was patrolling, as if not a single bird was spared, but ......
On the lower side of the city wall, two people clinged to the wall, just avoiding the sight of the patrols, and when this wave of people left, the two turned around, like geckos, and quickly swam up, and then climbed over the city wall.
And then......
As soon as the picture turned, he came to a house inside the city wall, and at this time, Marshal Helian Tieshu was looking at the map with his subordinates.
"My Western Xia army, divided into three routes, infiltrated the territory of the Song State, killed him by surprise, first captured Yongle City, and then drove straight forward, and then the Song State Hetao area, all within my Western Xia territory...... Seconds, seconds! ”
"Marshal wise!"
As soon as the words fell, two black-clothed people broke in, it was the deputy gang leader of Ma who assassinated Helian Tieshu and others, the two were about to kill Helian Tieshu, someone broke through the wall, made a big pair of scissors, several people fought together, and the deputy gang leader Ma knew that he was invincible, so he grabbed the door!
In this way, the pursuit is complete!
Seeing the two of them flying down from the city wall, and the movements were so handsome, the others couldn't help but exclaim.
Until......
When he was chasing the soldiers on horseback and flying away on the grass, Luan couldn't help but say excitedly: "I watched and shot this picture!" ”
He said: "It's weird, it's weird, why is there such a big gap between the shooting scene and the finished film!" ”
Can you travel around the heart not big?
After all, this is the world of martial arts, if it is not big, then he needs to really find two peerless masters to film. It's no wonder that all the films Luan has seen in the past are urban dramas, and the gap between the shooting scene of urban dramas and the finished film is not big!
Not to mention that there are not only editing in this "Dragon Babu", but also a large proportion of post-production special effects!
Although there are only about two dozen horses, after editing, it seems that there are hundreds of horses collapsing, and the two deputy gang leaders in the encirclement seem to have become turtles in the urn, just waiting to be captured!
Especially the scene where Gunma collapses appears, which makes people feel nervous inexplicably, of course, the main thing is BGM!
That's when it happened!
BGM has changed greatly, riding a horse and carrying the stereo, Joe's gang leader is here!
Marr ran a few steps, and because he was riding too slowly, he jumped directly into the air, and flew out with both palms!
This scene, Luan has also seen it!
"I'll go, so handsome!"
Bai Lu couldn't help but say.
And Huang Jin was also excited at this time, this is him, with the appearance of that exciting BGM, there seems to be a feeling of blood surging, as if at this moment he has really become a hero, and he can make a dragon with both palms!
With this palm, there was already a blast on the ground, coupled with the later light effect, the effect was very explosive, not to mention Zhang Zhi himself, Luan Liang Yuan and the others were also fascinated.
It's an indescribable feeling, but ...... It's charming!
And after Qiao Feng solved the three villains, Murong Fu played by Zhang Zhi also appeared, the two fought alone, their movements were capable and handsome, obviously they didn't have this feeling when filming, but at this time, it seems that one move and one style are full of weight!
And the camera switches to the group of beggars, in fact, it is mainly to show the tense atmosphere.
and then switched, and returned to Qiao Feng and Murong Fu's solo fight!
Finally, the mastery of the two in the book is shown for the first time!
Eighteen palms of the dragon, the stars are moving!
Then Qiao Feng was injured by a sneak attack, the dragon catcher saved people, played with a dog stick, was wounded by an arrow, and hit the eighteen palms of the most bullish dragon in the world!
"Huh? Finished? ”
"No, that's it?"
"Where's the back, what's the back!"
Suddenly it's gone, and a few people who are happy to be uncomfortable are like that, you suddenly come to a relative, isn't this torture?
Luan is also in a hurry!
"This is the first ten minutes of the first episode, what do you think, how about using it to attract people?"
"Needless to say, it caught people's eyes all at once!"
"It turned out to be the beginning of the first episode, no wonder it's so exciting, if it were me, I would definitely continue to watch it!"
"Tsk, it's too good, it's ten minutes to set up Qiao Feng's character at once!"
"Hey, don't say it, although it's only ten minutes, it does show Qiao Feng's sky-high arrogance all at once!"
Luan thought about it.
Indeed it is!
Why do many film and television works fail?
That's because the character creation in it is too unsuccessful, it has always been flat, to put it bluntly, this character can't stand, it's too fake space!
But in just ten minutes, the character of Qiao Feng was suddenly shown to the audience.
What does it mean? The martial arts are strong, and in just ten minutes, the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, the dragon snatcher, and the dog beating stick have all come out.
And he can let his brothers go first, it is righteous and thin, and it can be seen from his behavior that the pride in his chest is soaring, and all this performance is completely consistent with his appearance and makeup!
"I'm showing you a version!"
Wandering around, another video was imported!
Everyone was immediately excited.
It's just that......
When you click on the video, you find that isn't this what you just watched?
But......
It didn't take long for someone to notice that something was wrong.
Bai Lu scratched her head, looking puzzled: "Hey, no, what's the ...... How it feels like something is missing! ”
Luan frowned and said, "Less background music!" ”
Bai Lu suddenly said: "Hey, yes, there is no background music!" ”
Several people looked at Zhou You, but saw that he didn't speak, so they could only continue to watch!
But......
This is where the problem comes in.
In fact, there is no change in the action editing and the like, except for the lack of background music, but the problem is ...... Even if there is just no background music, the perception is greatly reduced, and there is no excitement at all to see this finished product for the first time.
Especially when Qiao Feng appeared, everyone was a little excited, but after the appearance, this excitement disappeared in an instant, and it didn't last until the end like the first time.
Maybe it's because I watched it a second time?
But......
After watching this video without back music, Zhou You replayed the part with background music!
The enthusiasm of several people to watch the drama came again.
"Shhh Luan gasped, she understood, "Is this background music so important?" ”
It was only at this time that she understood why Zhou You would put such two versions, and finally understood where the gap was.
But......
She has been in the industry for so many years, and she has a deep understanding of TV dramas.
Many TV series basically only have two songs, that is, the opening song and the ending song, and there are only three or five songs if there are more, and in addition to the opening song and the ending song, most of the other songs appear in a specific plot!
But......
She suddenly found that in such a ten-minute clip of "Dragon Babu", from the beginning to the end, the background music didn't seem to be interrupted at all?
It is precisely because of the musical changes that fit the development of the plot that the mood of the viewer will change accordingly!
Nervous, exciting, exciting!
This......
Isn't it a bit too extravagant!
"I can only say that martial arts films need background music more than other films, especially ...... The background music of other TV series, many times, may be in the service of the plot, but ...... The music of martial arts films will even be refined to a certain person! ”
"Like this one!"
Zhou You played the background music when Qiao Feng appeared!
Huang Jin's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "This music won't be Qiao Feng's exclusive music!" ”
Zhou You smiled and nodded: "That's right, this music is exclusive to Qiao Feng when he shoots!" ”
Luan thought for a long time, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he slapped the table, and said, "I understand, you are not filming a TV series, no, you are indeed filming a TV series, but ...... You're actually packaging stars in a TV series! ”
"Exclusive background music, exclusive martial arts tricks, isn't this just labeling?"
Travel:......
Well, if you understand it this way, it's actually okay!
To put it bluntly, people should fall in love with the character, not the actor!
Of course, many times, the character and the actor themselves complement each other!
And if you want to create a good character, you need to consider from multiple aspects, exclusive martial arts tricks, exclusive set poems, and exclusive BGM, of which BGM is definitely indispensable or the top priority!
After all......
Your God of Gamblers is so awesome and handsome, if you change to the background music of "Fighting the Landlord", you won't have to laugh off your big teeth?
There's something going on in the evening, it's just 5,000 words, kneel and beg for all the order, thank you!
