Feature Shows Extravaganza

Filming is a very torturous thing.

Laymen feel glamorous, that is because they do not understand. Only those who work in this industry know how difficult it is to do it.

A one-minute shot can take hours of preparation. This includes setting, makeup, camera position placement and adjustment, memorizing lines and so on.

The most irritating thing is that after hours of preparation, this one-minute shooting often comes to naught due to various mistakes of the actors, and I have to start over and over again...

Fortunately, Meng Lang didn't have such troubles.

He was originally the director of the divine drama Leiju, so he didn't have too high requirements for the completion of the performance.

Take the current scene as an example, the actor playing the fairy queen obviously had unnecessary limb tremors due to nervousness. If this is put in the eyes of the director who pursues perfection, it will be a failure and must start all over again.

But Meng Lang felt that it was acceptable. This movement was almost insignificant under the camera, and there was no need to retake it.

Xiaolan, you let Xiaoyue slip away again?

I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

forget it……

CUT!

Shooting paused, and the actors paused to hold their breath.

Meng Lang looked at the monitor, frowned and said, The expression is too serious, take it easy.

The four actors breathed a sigh of relief.

It's fine if you don't scold...

Let’s do it all over again, anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve encountered something like NG in filming.

After Meng Lang pointed out the problem, the actors quickly realized that there would be no problems in this shooting. Whether it was the Queen of the Fairy or the Fairy Xiaolan, when they spoke, their expressions were no longer as serious as before.

Wouldn't this... be too frivolous?

Wang Kui asked cautiously from the side: The Queen of the Demon Fairy is a queen no matter what, and she should be slightly annoyed to blame a subordinate who is not doing things right?

There is always something wrong with this hippie smiling face painting style.

Meng Lang looked at him and asked, Are you the screenwriter?

Wang Kui shook his head.

Are you the director?

Wang Kui continued to shake his head.

Meng Lang curled his lips and said, Then tell me a hammer, how can you know how to shoot better than me, a screenwriter + director?

Wang Kui: ...

I'm still a producer!

Forget it, the identity of the boss + director + screenwriter of this company is really unbearable...

After Wang Kui was driven away, Meng Lang started filming faster and faster without the picky dog ​​producer by his side.

This speed, even the participating actors feel incredible.

Just pass it once?

It took nearly half an hour to shoot, and only NG once?

This director is too efficient!

Could it be... the legendary quick shooter?

Occasionally, it can be attributed to the excellent performance of the actors, but almost every shot is passed, which is the director's problem.

Next, for the shots of Xue Feifei, keep your expression natural, don't say your lines blankly, OK?

Alright Mr. Meng! Yang Yuqing responded.

...

Xue Feifei's shot was the most difficult part in the whole shooting process of Ba La La Little Demon Fairy.

Because Xue Feifei has no entity!

To be precise, Xue Feifei is a bug, a bug with small wings that can fly, a virtual character who claims to be an elven wise man but is actually a elf mentally retarded.

It is the wise elf of the Magic Immortal Hundred Treasure Book, assisting the two sisters Ling Meiqi and Ling Meixue to learn various magic.

The original version of Balala Little Demon Fairy, perhaps due to limited funds, Xue Feifei, a character who should have been outstanding, had to be reduced to a background board in the end. Even after many years, Yan Lili's role is still remembered, But no one remembers the cute little Xue Feifei anymore.

Although Meng Lang borrowed from the original version, he also made certain changes on the basis of the original version.

For example, the original version did not have a good Xue Feifei due to lack of funds. In his version of Balala Little Demon Fairy, he got more opportunities to appear on the stage, and different from the original version, his version of Xue Feifei can be compared with The protagonist appears in the same frame and interacts.

In the original version of Xiao Moxian, whenever Xue Feifei appeared on the stage, the camera cut to an area where no one was present, allowing Xue Feifei to appear alone.

Occasionally, there are a few shots of Maggie Meixue and Xue Feifei in the same frame, but those are also blunt images that were pasted through post-production synthesis, which looks very unnatural.

Why is this so?

The reason is actually very simple, there is not enough money for special effects, and there is no way to do the role of Xue Feifei well.

After all, Xue Feifei is a virtual character, and almost every shot that appears on the stage is cut out frame by frame by special effects, which is too expensive. Ao Fei in the original time and space probably couldn't afford the budget, so he messed up Xue Feifei, a character who should have been brilliant in the play.

After Meng Lang created the script of Xiaomoxian, he decided to do Xue Feifei well.

This is also to open up financial resources!

In the play Balala Little Demon Fairy, Maggie's magic fairy clarinet and Michelle's magic fairy harp can be sold as toys, so why not get a plush doll for the virtual character Xue Feifei?

Plush toys are a long-lasting category in the toy market. No matter what time it is, there is still no shortage of buyers for plush toys.

From this point of view, it is necessary to spend some special effects money to make Xue Feifei well.

Xue Feifei's special effects are difficult to do, because there is an extra step of modeling. Creating a virtual character out of thin air is a job that takes a lot of energy.

Well, it's 2014...

Ten years ago, maybe meng lang would have given up on this role completely like ao fei.

Compared with the special effects technology of 2014 ten years ago, it is naturally a world.

It was difficult to shape Xue Feifei in the original version, but it is not difficult now. As long as they are willing to spend money, any special effects studio can produce good effects.

The special effects of Ba La La Xiao Moxian still chose to be outsourced. Even though Pengda Film and Television had set up a special effects studio, it was unable to take over the project due to lack of manpower.

The partner is still Thunderbird Studio.

Meng Lang was deeply impressed by the Rolls-Royce who had previously collaborated with The Huolishaonianwang. Anyway, the special effects of Xiao Moxian are not complicated, and it is the same for anyone.

Just as meng lang was busy with the filming of Ba la la little devil fairy, the phone Dididi rang.

Turning on the phone, he found that Director Tao had sent him an emoji on WeChat.

[Are you there]

Not here...

Silently deleting the two words that had already been typed, Meng Lang replied, Is there anything wrong with Director Tao?

It's nothing, nothing! I heard that your company is shooting a special drama similar to Huolishaonianwang. I don't know if there is any possibility of cooperation...

Probably the free Huolishaonianwang gave this bad old man a taste of the sweetness. Xiao Moxian came to ask him not long after the filming started.

I have already talked with CCTV Children's Channel, and it is no surprise that the premiere rights have been confirmed.

It's me, it's me first, I'm obviously the one who came first... Whether it's the premiere or the replay, I'm the one who came first!

Huolishaonianwang is so happy to cooperate, why did it become like this?

CCTV junior! I'm so mad!

The new book asks for collection, recommendation and investment, save Abai!
