fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 250 Arranging Actors
The scenes described in the novel "Shading the Sky" can be described as the author Chen Dong's consistent style.

Various scenes and battles highlight an atmosphere!
What is the frontier of the universe, a fairy cocoon comparable to a planet, and an imperial weapon that can destroy a star field with a light bump?
The scene was so grand that it was outrageous!
Perhaps reading the text, readers can imagine some pictures in their minds, but there are also many things that readers cannot imagine, and only a general concept remains in their minds!

Zhang Yang plans to shoot a scene that even readers can't imagine, and present it in front of the audience as a picture. The difficulty is simply beyond the sky!
For a moment, he wanted to give up, because he really didn't know how to shoot.

However, even without this "Shading the Sky", the difficulty of adapting other fantasy novels to movies is also indispensable. Can we always give up?
How is that different from a director who can only make bad movies?
Zhang Yang cheered up and decided to call the entire art department and special effects department of Xuanyu, and everyone worked together to brainstorm!
First draw various special effect screen manuscripts together, and then gather together to draw the storyboard script manuscript.

As long as there are storyboard manuscripts, he can take the most perfect shots based on these manuscripts, and there will also be a production basis for special effects.

Finally, if the special effects department is really incompetent, he also has a 'Future Special Effects Machine' to help!
"In this way, with a complete idea, it should be possible to shoot it!"

Thinking of this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, the storyboard manuscript will not be resolved in a short time. The top priority is the actor's audition!"

"I'm going to organize the actors to audition first, and then I will lead the actors to discuss the script. On the other hand, I will discuss the special effects with Liang Bing and the others."

"However, being an actor is also a big problem!"

Zhang Yang couldn't help rubbing his frowning brows.

After all, "Shading the Sky 2" is a sequel to the first one, and there will definitely be some new characters.

Those small roles don't matter, and the requirements for actors don't need to be too high, anyway, there are very few appearances.

It was mainly because of the restricted area supremes who appeared in the dark turmoil at the end, which made him very embarrassed.

Qitian Supreme, Changsheng Tianzun, Lord of Reincarnation, Supreme Light and Darkness, Lord of Shenxu, Stone Emperor. Those who came out of these forbidden areas are all former emperor-level characters. Each character is cold-blooded and ruthless. He has seen all the scenes , a ruthless character who has lived for tens of thousands of years and has nothing to make them care about!
Everything in the world is like ants in their eyes, there is no such thing as family affection or love at all, and the only thing they pursue is to become immortal and live forever!

To select actors who can play this kind of character, one or two is fine, but now it is necessary to select six at a time, which makes Zhang Yang feel numb!

Where would he find six such actors?

After thinking about it, Zhang Yang thought about all the actors he knew, but he didn't come up with too many candidates.

no way!
Actors are human too!
As long as he is a human being, he has limits, and it is certainly impossible to fully interpret those god-like characters in the novel.

Saint, Da Luo, Heavenly Way, Heavenly Emperor, Master of the Universe, Supreme God.
For a character like this, if you let the actors play it, you still have to perform Shen Yun, and the feeling of the performance, isn't this a difficult thing for others to do?

It is because it is difficult for real people to perform the effect. Many readers of novels in the past life are more resistant to live-action dramas, because they can't shoot the pictures imagined in the readers' heads, so it is better to make them into animation.

Anime characters are all virtual, and they can be made into whatever they want. Only in this way can the characters in the novel be reproduced on the screen.

It's just that what Zhang Yang wants to shoot is a live-action drama, so he can only think of a way.

"If it doesn't work, I can only choose a slightly inferior one! Anyway, the company's special effects department has sufficient technology. At worst, when filming "Dragon Snake", it used special effects and motion capture technology to create a virtual image and synthesize it. Abandon the characters of the Supreme Being!"

Zhang Yang finally decided that if he really couldn't choose a suitable actor, then 3D special effects plus live motion capture technology to synthesize a brand new virtual actor would be the best way!

Only in this way can the audience in front of the screen really feel that the characters in the novel should be the images in the screen.

After thinking about the solution to the problem, Zhang Yang first called Li Xiaoqiang to the office.

"I've already finished reading the script, and it's well written." Zhang Yang said in a deep voice, "Take it back and check it again. After confirming that there are no problems, distribute it to various departments for everyone to read."

"clear."

Li Xiaoqiang immediately took the script, went back to the screenwriting department and summoned all the screenwriters in the department to re-check the script. After typos and some lines were re-refined, they were distributed to Xuanyu's several department leaders related to shooting according to Zhang Yang's arrangement.

After he left, Zhang Yang called Wang Yan, the person in charge of the training department, to the office.

"The script of "Shading the Sky 2" has already been written, you can go to Mr. Li to get the script, then make a cast list based on the script, release the news, and let all interested actors come to audition."

"Understood!" Wang Yan said: "The training department has already made preparations, and we can start this work right away!"

"Good job!"

Zhang Yang praised, and then asked, "Are any of our own actors available now?"

Several actors from Xuanyu participated in "Shading the Sky 1", playing the roles of Wang Teng, Pang Bo, and Ruthless Emperor respectively, and these three roles also played in the second season.

Wang Teng turned into a demon fetus, Pang Bo was rescued from the demon emperor's tomb, and the Ruthless Emperor finally came out to save the scene.

Wang Yan thought for a few seconds before replying, "Zou Yun is currently free, and everyone else has a role to play!"

"All three?"

Zhang Yang frowned.

All three of them have a scene, so there is a conflict in time.

"Which step has the filming reached? How long will it take to be free?"

"Soon!" Wang Yan thought for a while, and replied: "Fan Leizhou acted as the leading actor in a play, but it has come to an end. Tang Jing and Li Ang should be a little slower, but it will take half a month sooner, or one month later. month, it should be finished."

"That's good!"

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "They are not the protagonists, so there is enough time!"

This is also the worry of happiness. Several actors in my family have become big stars, and they are often invited by the crew, which inevitably leads to conflicts.

"Just let them know and let them return to the company to stand by after they finish filming the current scene. In addition, Zou Yun, a girl, can also be arranged. If there is a suitable role, let her take the lead."

Zou Yun's level is still a little bit worse.

However, she is also Xuanyu's own person, and being able to play a supporting role in a movie of the level of "Shading the Sky 2" is very good for future development.

"Well, I will arrange it!"

Wang Yan nodded in agreement.

"That's good, go get busy."

He waved his hand to let Wang Yan leave, and Zhang Yang continued to arrange the next work.

He first asked Li Xiaoqiang to copy a few copies of the script, and then gave it to the assistant director Huang Yuepeng to distribute the script, and then arranged for other members of the crew to contact the venue, make shooting props, prepare shooting equipment and other work.

Then he sent a video to Hu Kaitian who was filming.

The video was connected quickly, and the background was in the studio, obviously shooting.

Zhang Yang didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I have a question to tell you. Now we are shooting movies and TV dramas together. Hu Qu is the leading actor of the two dramas. He must not be replaced in the sequel. Let's discuss it and get his role." Try to diverge and readjust the progress."
