Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 63: Well, this is the "Xiaoyao Tan" I wrote

Hu Ge naturally didn't understand when his life would begin.

However, he was very serious about the promotional trailer he shot today.

Chen Cheng was more relaxed, and said, "Hu Ge, it's the same as before. Don't take the trailer promotion too seriously this time. Relax a little, and don't be so serious. Just be more lively."

As Chen Cheng spoke, he arranged the crew members.

"Are you ready?"

"OK."

"start."

As soon as the clapperboard sounded, the filming of Hu Ge's trailer began.

but.

Said it was filming.

But this clip is not complicated.

Not only is it not complicated, but it is extremely simple.

Hu Ge only needs to make a few random movements and step on a flying sword to create the effect of flying with a sword.

It’s just simple, but it’s not that easy to shoot.

Because it is impossible to actually fly with a sword during filming.

To create the effect of flying with a sword, the actor must act as if he is flying with a sword.

In the acting profession, this is also called shooting without physical objects.

Although Hu Ge's acting skills are not that good, it is not particularly difficult for him who graduated from a professional acting school.

The difficulty lies in making such a performance natural and presenting a feeling of traveling through the universe.

Fortunately, Hu Ge had gotten into the right state some time ago.

I also have a more comprehensive understanding of Li Xiaoyao.

This sword-flying scene was shot in just one morning.

"Hugo, look, the filming is finished."

"Okay, everyone, call it a day."

Just finished the work.

But this is just the closing scene.

Behind the scenes, there are a lot of things going on.

Although the trailer shot this time was simple, the post-processing was rather troublesome.

Since flying with a sword is impossible to achieve in reality, he had to add special effects.

Some people may say that the level of special effects in domestic films and television is poor.

In fact, this is not the case.

As long as you are willing to spend money, special effects can still be added.

I don’t know how good the special effects were in Shushan back then.

However, for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", it is obvious that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" does not have so much money to make special effects.

The key to the success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not the special effects, but other things.

That being said, this section of flying with a sword also requires special effects.

"Director Chen, if we want to make this special effect better, it will probably cost a lot of money."

"How much exactly?"

"About 5."

"so much."

"It's OK to have less, but the result may not be particularly good."

The special effects company that cooperated with the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" crew negotiated the price with Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng frowned.

He only had 1 yuan in funding, so how could he afford 5 yuan for special effects production?

not to mention.

This 1 yuan fund has to be used to give red envelopes to the crew members who helped, so it is impossible to afford 5 yuan.

"Manager Zhang, is 5000 okay?"

"5000?"

Manager Zhang almost spit out water: "Director Chen, 5000 is not enough, at least 2."

"What if I draw the picture here?"

"You're drawing here?"

"Correct."

"It's hard to say. I need to see the picture you drew first."

"Row."

I didn't negotiate the price with Manager Zhang again.

Chen Cheng picked up the pen and quickly drew the effect of flying with a sword.

But because it is a 3-minute long video.

Therefore, Chen Cheng could not only draw one picture, but had to draw many.

Fortunately, Chen Cheng draws storyboards almost every day, so Chen Cheng's art attribute has reached 65 points.

In addition, Chen Cheng only pursued the meaning of the painting this time, and did not pursue too much details.

In just one day, Chen Cheng drew more than 50 pictures.

"Manager Zhang, the painting is done."

"So fast?"

"It's okay, take a look." "Okay."

Manager Zhang opened his email and downloaded the 50 pictures sent by Chen Cheng.

After just looking at the first picture, Manager Zhang praised it with admiration: "It's a very good drawing."

Of course, this goodness does not really mean goodness in terms of technique.

Speaking of technique.

Chen Cheng's technique can only be described as average.

But in terms of artistic conception, Chen Cheng's paintings far surpass countless others.

Especially Chen Cheng's version of flying sword.

When Manager Zhang mentioned the 5 yuan production budget at the beginning, he envisioned the flying sword to be a majestic scene like the Shu Mountains.

Such pictures are not only beautiful, but also impressive, and are also very attractive when made into special effects.

But Chen Cheng's style is completely different.

He used an ink painting to depict Li Xiaoyao flying with a sword.

Although in terms of momentum, it is not as good as Mount Shu.

However, in terms of artistic conception, style, and fairy-like flavor, it is not inferior to Shushan at all.

even.

This kind of fairyland atmosphere is not found in Shushan.

"Director Chen, you are awesome."

He gave Chen Cheng a thumbs up and said, "Although according to your renderings, the whole production will still cost 1 yuan. However, your renderings are so good and have given me some inspiration. So, according to your request, 5000 yuan, deal."

"Thank you, Manager Zhang. When will it be done?"

"in three days."

"no problem."

Chen Cheng nodded.

……

While solving the special effects problem, Chen Cheng did not stop.

Although the three-minute clip is small, the impact is huge.

This is also Chen Cheng's first work as an executive director.

Whether it was to quell Hu Ge's misunderstanding in the media or for his own sake, Chen Cheng wanted to strive for perfection.

"Hugo, come to the recording studio."

"Director Chen, do you want me to record my lines?"

“No, I’m recording a song.”

Hu Ge was a little surprised, but he still came to the recording studio as soon as possible.

"Hugo, how's your singing?"

"generally."

"Sing a few lines."

Hu Ge sang a song according to Chen Cheng's instructions.

After listening to it, Chen Cheng felt it was a good idea.

Said: "No problem."

Although Hu Ge's singing skills are not up to the level of a singer.

But in this world, not everyone is a singer.

When The Legend of Sword and Fairy becomes a big hit, Hu Ge’s soundtrack will also sell like hot cakes.

and so.

This time, Chen Cheng tailor-made (plagiarized) a song "Xiao Yao Tan" for Hu Ge.

"You should familiarize yourself with this song first."

Chen Cheng took out the lyrics of "Xiao Yao Tan" that he had prepared long ago.

"Xiaoyao Tan, is this the theme song of Fairy Sword?"

"Not really. It can be considered an interlude. At the same time, this song will also be used as background music in the trailer that was shot a few days ago."

"Oh, was this song produced by the music teacher?"

"No, I made it."

Chen Cheng remained calm and collected.

"Director Chen, can you compose music?"

Hugo was shocked again.

Chen Cheng didn't care what Hu Ge said: "Hurry up, this song is very simple. I'll give you half an hour to get familiar with it. After half an hour, we'll start recording."

Half an hour later.

Chen Cheng looked at Hu Ge.

Hugo nodded.

Chen Cheng signaled the studio staff to start.

【Time is rare and silent

The autumn wind is tired of wandering

The sunset refuses to leave
Hanging on the wall, I can't bear to leave
The past whispers

Already flowing eastward with the sound of the tide

Look back

The past also falls with the maple leaves.
