Chapter Ninety-Seven: Telling Stories
Guan Yi and they originally had their own shooting plans, otherwise they wouldn't have discussed the plot and action details with Zhou Xiaolong and Ji Feng yesterday until late at night. Early in the morning, Zhang Yigong threw out such a new script, which was a bit abrupt to be honest.
This script by Zhang Yigong and his wife scratched Guan Yi's itch. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and similarly, Guan Yi and they all have a dream of being a big director. Although making films is just their side hustle and their hobby, they have always had such a dream.
Zhang Yigong and Yan Xin's script contains private goods, which is very obvious, their purpose is to launch the tourism brand of Sun Island and promote the tourism project of Sun Island.
The shooting time was only three days, and all the shooting work was completed in three days, which was not ordinarily difficult. What's more, this is a costume drama, which also involves costumes, props, framing, martial arts choreography and many other elements, which is honestly very difficult.
"Wang Panshan" is a story that intercepts a small part of the story in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and extends it to be adapted, Ji Feng plays the golden lion king Xie Xun, Ji Feng is not tall, but he can wear heightened shoes to create this role, these ship-shaped buildings in Happy Pirate Paradise, after some transformation, can be used as a background, and the Moon Bay side can also build a set, in addition to the wooden houses on Sun Island, they can also be transformed and used as the residence of several major sects......
Zhang Yigong and his wife threw out this script at this time, and they were not without purpose. Sun Island is only a water away from Bincheng, Yan Xin knows a lot of friends, including those who do Hanfu business, there is no big problem in clothing, the island has its own engineering team, and the set modeling can also be done.
This is a martial arts film, originally "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is a well-known martial arts novel, I believe that those of them who make short videos of martial arts, almost everyone is very familiar with the plot of the Western story, so the line part, I believe it is not too difficult for everyone, as long as Guan Yi and they give full play to their strengths, the fight scene is brilliantly presented, this remake of "Wang Panshan", from a practical point of view, is not impossible to complete.
Guan Yi Before they went to Sun Island, they didn't think of engaging in 'big productions', although some of the martial arts videos, parkour videos, and sports videos they uploaded on some platforms have a good reputation in the industry, but let them, an amateur team, engage in this kind of big production, on the one hand, they are not prepared, and on the other hand, they are still a little lacking in confidence.
Zhang Yigong threw this bait at this time, obviously their husband and wife still have a foundation. This time it is the first in-depth cooperation between Zhang Yigong's Huguang Mountain Group and Guan Yi's temporary patchwork photography team, and it can also be regarded as giving them a higher expectation, which is no wonder that Guan Yi and them hesitated and were a little moved.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as far as I know, many film companies have also noticed the short video market, and some top stars have also joined the ranks, and now there are more and more teams shooting short videos, and they are becoming more and more professional. I know that none of you are professional filmmakers, and everyone makes short videos entirely because of their love for filmmaking.
I've seen your work below. Although I am a layman, I think your level is not low. Mr. Guan, Mr. Qin, Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen's four films, each with its own style, I like it very much, in fact, this time I will not only invite a few cooperation, I will also invite many Internet celebrities in our Bincheng City, live broadcasters to participate, this time I plan to let you shoot this film from different perspectives. ”
Guan Yi reacted immediately, and he answered and asked, "Does Island Master Zhang want to shoot a holographic movie?" ”
Zhang Yigong explained to them: "If you make a holographic movie, the cost is too high, such a film to test the water, we Huguang Mountain Group, for the time being, there is no such a big investment plan, but with your ability, the partial use of holographic technology, close the special effects, I think it should still be possible." ”
Guan Yi and the others nodded.
Zhang Yigong then said: "This step, you will take it sooner or later, whether it succeeds or fails, it is just a test of the waters, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Yigong saw that everyone was a little moved from the eyes of everyone, so he and Yan Xin left temporarily and left it to everyone to discuss on their own. He believed that Guan Yi and the others should discuss a result soon.
After talking to Gao Yunping, Ji Feng went to the dining hall with a lot of heart. This time it can only be said that it has been temporarily fooled. Although Gao Yunping's nerves are a little big, and it is her closest family who deceives her, but it can't be true, a lie is a lie after all, not to mention, this is still a lie that obviously can't stand scrutiny, there are too many flaws in it.
Ji Feng will be so worried, it can only be said that he is still too simple and kind, and his grasp of human nature is obviously not in place.
In fact, what Gao Yunping needs is just a reasonable explanation, not everyone in this world is that kind of paranoid personality, everything must be investigated, everything must be clear and clear.
When he came to the cafeteria, six junior high school students and one high school student were already waiting for him here.
Eight teenagers, exactly four men and four women, made up a table. Ji Feng sat between Pang Chufeng and Shen Yanling, unlike Ji Feng's worries, Shen Yanling was in good spirits and looked extremely excited. Today she is going to participate in the shooting of a short video with Ji Feng, and she is very happy.
When Ji Feng came over, she was chatting happily with Ma Li and Xue Yuzhi. Ji Feng saw that his girlfriend was so happy, and Ji Feng's mood became a little more cheerful.
Pang Chufeng lightly bumped Ji Feng with his elbow, and asked in his ear in a low voice: "Seeing that you are sullen, since you don't like filming, why did you agree to come down in the first place?" ”
Ji Feng sighed lightly and did not answer Pang Chufeng's question.
Pang Chufeng said again: "Why are you suffering? You won't have a happy outcome, and if you please her, isn't that a useless effort? ”
Pang Chufeng is always so rational, she has always believed that after Ji Feng knows the future through the flowers in the mirror, he should not break the thread and still associate with Shen Yanling.
Originally, Pang Chufeng thought that after Gao Yunping came to Sun Island, she saw that her son and Shen Yanling were in early love, so she should severely criticize Ji Feng and prevent Ji Feng from dating Shen Yanling.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yunping didn't make any moves. So much so that now, she and Zhang Tianning have to put most of their energy on Ji Feng and Shen Yanling.
In the face of his friend's criticism, Ji Feng could only remain silent. But he didn't think he had done anything wrong. As Shen Yanling's boyfriend, he can help, why not help? His ideas are always simple.
Because of Ji Feng, everyone's study plans on the island have also changed. Ji Feng and Shen Yanling are going to shoot short videos, and the two of them will not study with everyone for the time being.
Everyone else has some hot eyes, especially Ma Li and Xue Yuzhi. They chatted endlessly with Shen Yanling, as if Shen Yanling had become a top Internet celebrity and film and television star.
Everyone actually wants to participate in the filming, not only Ma Li and Xue Yuzhi, but even Pang Chufeng and Zhang Tianning also have such thoughts.
Zhang Tianning's own conditions are far better than Ji Feng, a proper little handsome guy, he doesn't want to compare with Ji Feng, but he has always been a little unconvinced in his heart. And Pang Chufeng thinks that although he is not as good as Shen Yanling in appearance and figure, he is more temperamental than her, and at the same time, there is a tacit understanding between himself and Ji Feng.
As for Ma Li and Xue Yuzhi, although they were eager to try and wanted to shoot with Shen Yanling, they didn't say it directly because of reality.
Ji Ce is the child king of this table, and everyone's expressions fall in his eyes one by one. At this time, he opened his mouth and said to everyone: "If you also want to make a film with Xiao Feng and them, it is actually not difficult. ”
As soon as Ji Ce's words came out, he successfully focused everyone's attention on him.
Ji Ce chewed most of the beef, swallowed it slowly, drank a small half bowl of thick soup, pretended to be a gesture, and after looking around at the people present, he said unhurriedly: "Do you know what Mr. Guan and them are discussing?" ”
Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, he said proudly: "They are telling stories!" ”
Storytelling? What is this? Everyone was confused.
"Although the short video time is short, it is generally less than a few minutes, which is not easy for Mr. Guan, who shoots martial arts scenes as the theme, even if they make a series of short films, and want to tell a good story. I eavesdropped on their conversation, and this time they are preparing to launch an action movie called "Wang Panshan" based on Xiao Feng. ”
Ji Ce continued: "The short film "Wang Panshan" is based on the story of the golden lion king Xie Xun who made a big fuss at the knife conference in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". Although this text is good, if you can also submit a better copy, the copy, which contains several characters, I think, even if they are the owners of Zhang Island, they should not be blocked. ”
Short martial arts videos focus on the sense of déjà vu, and it is best to shoot the feeling of a blockbuster, and at the same time, the action design is unconventional, and the fight scenes should be fierce and gorgeous.
Zhang Yigong and his wife are very shrewd, they are nothing more than trying to integrate Sun Island, a sightseeing and tourist attraction, through the filming of this short film and clever implanted marketing. So as to enhance the popularity of Sun Island and promote the brand of Sun Island.
Ji Ce's plan is to ask everyone to come up with a story that surpasses "Wang Panshan", the story can't be too complicated, and at the same time, there must be many characters in this film. The key to this story must also include the marketing plan hidden in the story. I have to say that Ji Ce's plan is still quite difficult.
After Ji Ce threw out his plan, everyone fell into thought.
Pang Chufeng originally wanted to construct a story by herself, but when she saw the shallow smile on the corner of Ji Ce's mouth, she knew that Ji Ce actually had a draft.
Pang Chufeng knocked on the bowl, waking everyone up from their contemplative state.
Pang Chufeng said to Ji Ce: "Brother Ce, don't hide it, you must have already conceived the story, you might as well tell it, let us, junior brothers, and sisters, smell the fragrance." ”
Ji Ce smiled slightly, at this time, he no longer sold Guanzi, he sat upright, and said to everyone: "I do have a story, the story is not necessarily better than "Wang Panshan", the right is that I threw bricks and jade, and offered ugliness. ”
All the people came to the spirit. Quietly listen to Ji Ce's story, the story he conceived.
"Parents took several students on summer vacation, went out to sea, and a murder occurred on the way, and one family, in addition to one survivor, the parents of the survivors, including a sailor on a cruise ship, were killed. The murderer is in this group of people, and because of some kind of distorted psychology, in order to cover up his crime, he launched a killing frenzy......
This is the idea of a horror film, the story arranges everyone's characters, Aunt Yan and Zhang Island's marketing plan, also included in it, my idea is that some suspense elements will be added, and at the same time, combined with the popular script killing, so that this story, in addition to the intense fight scenes, add some accidents and suspense. What do you think? ”
Ji Ce just proposed a big structure, and the plot is not complicated, if it is cleverly arranged, it should be better than "Wang Panshan".
Ji Ce's story, as soon as it was brought up, immediately got a positive response from the three sisters Shen Yanling and Liao Lei, even Zhang Tianning, he also agreed with Ji Ce's plan.
Although Pang Chufeng didn't like it, he portrayed Ji Feng as a murderous maniac who was simple and wooden on the surface, but actually cunning and murderous. But Pang Chufeng also has to admit that this role is very suitable for Ji Feng to play. Therefore, she did not object.
