Chapter 187 Preparations for "Sun God"

"First of all, the music. The music of the movie version is not suitable for the TV series version. I want to have a new episode, theme, and ending song.

The second is special effects. Now everyone in the company’s special effects department has a job, and I really can’t afford to be responsible for the special effects of "Shading 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 actors. In the first season, apart from the main actors who played in the movie version, there are still many roles that have not yet had suitable actors. "

Hu Kaitian asked the questions one by one, Zhang Yang frowned and thought.

As the least developed department of Xuanyu, the music department is indeed not that strong in many aspects.

It’s really inappropriate to reuse the music from the movie version of “Shading the Sky” for the TV series. In addition, the second and third seasons of “Shading the Sky” will be filmed in the future.
The music department must be in charge of three plays, and it must be too busy.

Then there are special effects.

Why are the special effects of Long Guo's film and television works poor?

In fact, the technology of Longguo's special effects company is no worse than that of foreign special effects companies. The reason why the special effects of the works are poor is that there is no professional visual effects guidance, and the director does not know much about special effects, so he only thinks that he can do a similar job.

Hu Kaitian's directing ability may be top-notch, but he may only be second-rate or third-rate in terms of special effects and visual effects. Even with the help of Liang Bing from the art department, he is in charge of three plays at a time, and the art department alone cannot handle it.

As for the actor question.

Many characters in the drama version did not appear in the movie version, so even though there are original cast members in the movie version, some characters are still vacant.

These three issues must be resolved.

In addition to "Shading the Sky", the Yangshen he wants to shoot also faces this problem.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yang looked at the person in charge of the music department.

"Director Hu is right. Since this is the case, your music department should find a way. If we can't do it ourselves, we should find someone else to do it. There are so many musicians in China, so we can definitely solve this problem."

"clear."

The person in charge of the music department nodded and replied: "We are already in contact. We have arranged a few songs. When the time comes, I will give them to Director Hu and let him choose."

"En." Zhang Yang nodded and said, "That's good. You also need to do a good job with the music of the other two plays. You can't choose some songs that don't fit the theme."

"clear."

The person in charge of the music department showed a look of embarrassment, but he still answered with a deep voice.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Yang said seriously, "I know the music department has heavy tasks, so I'll grant you a sum of money to buy from outsiders, and at the same time recruit people. As long as you meet suitable musicians, you will dig them in and expand your business." Music Department."

"it is good!"

Only then did the person in charge of the music department look soothed and responded happily.

The entire Xuanyuan and other departments are developing very well, but his music department has always been at the bottom, and now it has the funds approved by Zhang Yang.

Not only the music 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.

"As for the special effects, since you can contact an outside special effects company, then find someone, no matter what method you use, just one!" He stretched out a finger and said solemnly: "A product produced by Xuanyu must be a high-quality product! This It is the praise of the outside world, so in terms of special effects, we must definitely strive for excellence, and we cannot use fifty-cent special effects to deal with the audience.

I will ask the art department to send people to work with you on the script storyboards, character makeup, and special effects. You will all follow the drawings produced by the art department.

When shooting, it is also necessary to leave blank space for post-production special effects, so that the whole picture must be harmonious and natural without mistakes. "

"understand!"

"understand!"

Hu Kaitian and Liang Bing responded one after another.

Needless to say, Liang Bing's art skills, he has his own understanding of fantasy culture, the moves described in the novel, what they look like, Liang Bing can draw him with the brush in his hand.

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 "Shading the Sky" will not be a big problem.

"As for the actors, the original cast is already in place, right?"

The newly appointed Manager Wang of the training department immediately replied: "Everything has been contacted."

"Since this is the case, as soon as the meeting about the actors is over, you will immediately release the news to the major domestic actor companies to let interested actors come to audition." Zhang Yang said: "Including all the missing roles in the three plays, Director Hu and I , Wang always counts all the things that need to be replaced and those that are missing, and after you get the data, organize actors to audition, don't make any mistakes!"

Glancing at Zou Yun who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, Zhang Yang thought about those actors in the training department who hadn't made their debut yet. Zhang Yang thought for a while and added: "All the original actors in the training department also participated in this audition. For roles that have few roles and are compatible with the actors, the company's own actors are given priority, you know?"

Since the establishment of the training department, only one Zou Yun has really come out.

All three of Fan Leizhou were selected in the first audition, and they were not trained by the training department.

Anyway, there are some small roles that don't have many roles, but they are much better than those outside who don't have a word. As long as it is suitable, it is definitely much better to entrust your own people to play than outsiders.

Moreover, it can also cultivate talents. If there are a few hard-working and attitude-oriented people like Fan Leizhou, Zhang Yang will not mind helping in secret.

Not only can it bring a lot of income to the company, but it can also train actors for future dramas.

"receive."

Manager Wang sat upright, and his deep voice answered.

"Any more questions? 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 working in Xuanyu is that Xuanyu itself has all the links needed for a film and television work. Even if he is too busy, Zhang Yang is willing to contribute and fully support.

Compared to before when he was in Guangguang, Hu Kaitian felt extremely happy at the moment when he was wrangling around for a little money.

"That's good."

Zhang Yang said seriously: "Although you are fine, I still have something to tell you."

"Let's start with the ugly words. "Shading the Sky" is a big IP with a huge stake. Although I believe in your ability, there are some things that we must do our best since we want to show them to the audience."

"Special effects performance, combat power levels, actors' performance. All elements in the filming of the entire film must be done to the best of their ability. 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 about the filming, and Hu Kaitian also agreed.

However, that was in private. This time at the conference, in front of all the executives of the company, he needed Hu Kaitian to express his position again, to give Xuanyu other people who didn't know him to believe that he was capable "Covering the Sky" has a chance to be ruined.

Zhang Yang's eyes were cast on Hu Kaitian, and everyone in the conference room was also staring at him.

Hu Kaitian suddenly felt a heavy weight on his body.

Thinking about the 5 million-level investment in "Shading the Sky", and 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 ones he made before, and such a large investment would never allow childishness. During this period of time, he himself checked carefully, walked on thin ice, and took all possible influencing factors into consideration. Communicate with Zhang Yang about the idea of ​​shooting.

Now is the time for him to stand up.

I saw him take a few deep breaths, and then all the facial features on his face became extremely serious.

"Have confidence!"

The three words were spoken decisively without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang looked relieved, and said with a smile: "Then the filming of "Shading the Sky" will be entrusted to you!"

"kindness!"

Hu Kaitian nodded heavily.

clap clap~
Applause erupted in the conference room.

After waiting for a few seconds, the applause stopped in time, and everyone looked at Zhang Yang again.

Everyone knows that there are three plays, and now that the arrangements for "Covering the Sky" and "Dragon Snake" are finished, the next step is "Sun God" with Zhang Yang himself!
dong dong~
Tapping the table lightly with his fingertips, Zhang Yang looked around the audience, and said slowly: "Since the two dramas have been resolved, the next one is my new drama, "Sun God"!"

"The first two films have the basis of the previous work. "Yang Shen" is different. It is a brand new drama. I have also told you to prepare early. Now tell me how you are preparing?"

He looked directly at the heads of various departments sitting at the bottom.

Under his gaze, the leaders of each department stood up one after another in order of seating to answer.

"Mr. Zhang, the music department has already started preparations. We have contacted well-known singers in the industry to compose songs for "Yang Shen"."

Just 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 immediately start making the props that need to be used in the corresponding shooting."

"clothing group"

"Makeup and styling team."

"Art Department"

"."

The heads of all departments stood up and reported. Zhang Yang listened carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and told people to sit down.

Although the script has not yet been released.

But the three scripts have the original works for reference, and everyone knows that the boss respects the original works when filming.

Therefore, under his arrangement, the preparatory work for "Yang Shen" is the same as the other two dramas. Using the original work as a reference, various departments of Xuanyu started preparations early.

This mobilization meeting is actually to send out the script, let everyone see it, and then confirm the specific preparation progress, check for omissions and fill in vacancies.

All persons in charge in the conference room will report one by one.

According to everyone's reports, Zhang Yang gradually understood.

After the huge crew team maintained by Xuan Yu was divided into three, the largest group was the team he left for him to film "Yangshen".

Among the original production team, the best skills, the group of people who have been with him for the longest time are all in this group.

In addition, under the leadership of Liang Bing, the art department has also drawn many drawings, such as the image sketches of Hong Yi, Yuan Fei, Bai Ziyue, and Hong Xuanji, as well as the Dachan Temple, Yujing City, The blueprints of these buildings in the palace, as well as the battle scenes of the souls in the novel, as well as the image drawings of Yasha King, Rakshasa King, past Amitabha Sutras, blood pattern steel, explosive flame rune sword, and other magic tools and visualizations.

Later, when the production team is established, Liang Bing will personally lead the team into 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.

Every detail, including flames, swords, Taoism, martial arts, and other things that may be needed, all have basic drawings.

A series of exquisite original drawings have been distributed to various departments according to the requirements.

According to these drawings, the personnel in charge of costumes, make-up, modeling, and props have already started to research, customize special costumes, and make shooting props.

The field affairs and outreach in the crew have also booked a suitable shooting location.

Scenes such as Wuwenhou's Mansion, Yujing City, Sanhualou, and Dagan Imperial Palace all greeted Shudian and agreed on the time of entry.

After entering the arena, these venues are still in a real state after all, and there is a big gap with the Dagan Dynasty in the original book, which lacks the sense of fantasy.

Zhang Yang will combine special effects and art, and then use special effects to transform new fantasy-style buildings based on real buildings.

As for music, the music department has also contacted domestic professional singers and songwriters to tailor-make ending songs, theme songs, and episodes for "Yang Shen".

As for the martial arts action, Peng Zulong was responsible for "Dragon Snake" and "Shading the Sky", so he really didn't have enough skills. In addition, he spent a lot of money to hire other martial arts teams in the industry to design the fighting actions for the entire film.

The other party has already made preparations, 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 already been customized by someone.

In terms of special effects, three professional special effects companies were also invited to follow up the filming and serve the special effects of "Yang Shen".

It can be said that in every aspect of the entire "Yang Shen", every department of Xuanyu is doing its best to prepare.

"very good."

After listening to the report, Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction.

The working ability of the leaders of various departments is there, and Xuanyu's employees are also well-tested filming fighters. With him personally ordering, I believe no one will follow the law and shoddy it.

The preparation work of these departments is going smoothly. Next, the most important issue after leaving the camera is the issue of the actors.

Different from the other two dramas, the cast of "Yang Shen" is a big problem, especially Hong Yi.

He has seen all the young actors submitted by the training department, and none of them are suitable. The newly appointed Manager Wang also knows and has been looking for suitable actors for him.

"Manager Wang, have you found a suitable candidate for Hong Yi's actor?"

He looked at Manager Wang.

Manager Wang’s full name is Wang Yan, she is a very capable woman.

In his thirties, he was a well-known agent in the industry before he came to Xuanyu. He was recruited by Lin Xiaohan through a headhunter and has been serving as the deputy of the training department.

Now that Wang Fei is filming and has no time to manage the company's affairs, Lin Xiaohan wants to bring it up, and Wang Yan follows the trend and becomes a regular.

She was originally the deputy of the training department, and she was very familiar with the entire training department after becoming a full-time employee.

She can remember the basic confidence of all the trainers in the training department, actors who have not yet debuted, and most actors in the country.

She sorted out the documents that Zhang Yang asked the training department to submit.

At that time, more than 60 profiles of handsome young actors who matched Hong Yi's age were handed in. As a result, Wang Yan didn't expect that none of these people fit the boss's idea, so he had to expand the scope and search for others.

For this matter, she contacted all her acquaintances, and found a group of young actors to arrange auditions. I have to say that they are indeed very capable.

It's just that Zhang Yang has been busy and has no time to watch, but he also knows that she has found someone again, so he takes advantage of the meeting to inquire about the situation.
