At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 194 Don’t Understand Art (24)

Ms. Chen is really terrible as a producer!
In "The Promise", there is a scene of ten thousand (yak) cattle galloping.

Ms. Chen bought hundreds of yaks from Yunnan and XZ for the director, and transported them to Shangri-La, Yunnan. It turns out that the yaks are very docile and will not "run wild" as designed in the play. Unless there is an earthquake, then you can't do it. A man-made earthquake, if it doesn't run after an earthquake

As a result, the transportation of hundreds of yaks was a waste of time and money, but none of the images were usable.

Nearly a million funds were wasted...

Even if you know a little bit of production common sense, you know that this scene should be made with CG!
Then...she cried...

Fortunately, the photographer Bao Dexi helped to contact Xiantao Digital in Hong Kong...

Xiantao Digital in Hong Kong is a relatively advanced special effects company in this era. It has done "The Legend of Shushan", "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu", and later "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" is also their special effects...

When you don’t even have a solution for some key screens, it’s not okay to rush into it.

"The Promise" is a big fantasy production!

It must be very dependent on pre-planning and design...

Then, when it was turned on, the art was changed, have you heard of it?

That's how Ye Jintian got on his horse in such a hurry...

For the sake of internationalization, Japanese artists and American composers were invited, and the actors were even more internationalized...

It cannot be said that "The Promise" has no ambitions, but... the desk work can be done more solidly.

He and his husband are really a match made in heaven, the little master of poetry doesn't bother to observe the mundane world, but to express what he thinks is human nature...

Starting from "The Promise", then "The Taoist Descending the Mountain", "The Legend of the Demon Cat"...

The themes are love and freedom, love and tolerance.

This thing is not an insight into life, but more like a fantasy, a longing for an ideal, elegant, and beautiful world.

In the final analysis, it is arrogance, or childishness, or a superficial imitation of so-called elegance and nobility.

……

Jinyun is really as beautiful as a fairyland!

According to legend, it is the place where the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven and where immortals gather, so it is called Jinyun Immortal Capital...

Dinghufeng Scenic Area, within the territory of Jiuqu Lianxi, Shili Gallery, elegant mountains and rivers, clouds and mist...

Bring your own wonderland.

There is no need for special effects at all, everyone substitutes in by themselves...

Here mainly shoot the plot of Shushan.

The plot of Shushan includes the past of Jiang Ming, the sword sage crossing Jiang Ming, and the past of the sword sage's enlightenment leading to the sword sage's enlightenment. It is Shen Xudong's favorite plot.

However, the plot of Locking Demon Tower was filmed in a studio.

Guo Liang, who plays Juggernaut, is very famous in Singapore. In 1997, 98 and 99, he won the "Red Star Award Top Ten Most Popular Male Artist" award for three consecutive years.

The status of Red Star Award in Singapore is equivalent to that of TVB Thousand Star Awards Ceremony and Hong Kong...

Still the same sentence, Tang Ren signed a three-year contract with the Singaporean film studio, and of course some Singaporean artists must be used. Suo etu...

Shen Xudong actually thinks that he...is not very handsome, and he is not worthy of such a big name as a sword master!
But after watching him play a few scenes...

Dispelled the dissatisfaction in my heart - he played really well!

Guo Liang actually graduated from acting, but... he didn't act in any drama. It just so happened that Singapore Chinese TV Station came to the mainland to recruit hosts, so he went there and made a little name for himself.

By the way, in the story of Jiang Ming and Nvyuan in Jiang Ming’s past, there is a very speechless passage: in the Taoist demon lock tower, the demon embraces the Taoist priest, and in the "Namo Amitabha Buddha" of the Buddhist school...

Shen Xudong changed it to reciting "Taishang Yicheng Sea and Sky Wisdom Canon Sutra", blessed with immeasurable heavenly gods - Tianzun: Dao nature is neither hidden nor manifested, neither born nor destroyed, neither going nor coming; not the present, not the future, Not the past; not caused by, not born of conditions.That's why it's named often.Dao Xing is Tianzun, Tianzun is the real person...

The scriptures are not long, but they are difficult to pronounce. Jiang Xin memorized them for a long time.

……

It was the first time for An Yixuan to film in the Mainland.

She can be regarded as Bai Fumei with a prominent family background. She entered the entertainment industry and started as a female star in popular dramas, "Spicy Fresh Master", "Betta Fish"...

Young people, even if they start out with a mentality of looking down on poverty alleviation, they will gradually become familiar with each other.

She really likes to chat with Shen Xudong, who speaks very interestingly...

Nonsense, Shen Xudong has integrated the memories of later generations, and the jokes come from random.

However, after Shen Xudong arrived in Jinyun, he took various photos with his camera...

I didn't see him back to the hotel until the evening.

Seeing Shen Xudong's dusty face, An Yixuan was surprised: "You... have you been filming for a day?"

"...Well, it's so beautiful here..."

Shen Xudong nodded, and took off the Nikon Coolpix8800 hanging around his neck: "It's a wonderland to take any photos!"

"...you are so obsessed with photography?"

"No, just record it casually..."

Brother Hu took the camera and said casually, "You like taking pictures so much, why don't you take pictures of us?"

Shen Xudong rolled his eyes: "I don't like taking pictures of men!"

"...Then take a picture for me!"

"I…"

Shen Xudong was about to speak when he caught sight of Aunt Liu coming over, and hurriedly greeted him: "Auntie is here? Sit down!"

"...What are you talking about?"

"Xudong went to take pictures for a day today!"

Aunt Liu sat down and asked curiously, "Did you shoot for a day?"

"Hmm... I didn't leave until the evening... The main light is wrong!"

Liu Yifei heard this and said, "Tsk tsk, you are really interesting..."

Shen Xudong replied casually: "I'm used to recording beautiful things with a camera..."

"Beautiful things?"

Aunt Liu seemed to have thought of something, she glanced at Shen Xudong: "...Let's eat."

Although not a single word was mentioned, Shen Xudong has arrived!

……

The next day, Shen Xudong met Aunt Liu alone...

With a fire in my heart, burn my remnant body, a raging holy fire!
Then it gets cold...

Aunt Liu does want to take pictures, but she wants to take an outdoor set...

This…

It's different from what I imagined.

Do you understand private photography?
Private Room Shooting…

Forget it, Shen Xudong made it so obvious, she still didn't accept the move, she made it clear that she is not from the art circle and doesn't understand art!
People who don't understand art don't spend time...

Waste of time, delay youth!

However, Shen Xudong still took a set of outdoor photos for her...

During the shooting process, the heart is calm and the attitude is completely working!

No longer obsessed with being a godfather, and all my mind is back to work, Shen Xudong's writing efficiency is much faster, maybe the inspiration brought by the scenery of Jinyun...

In short, he finished writing the script of "Beauty's Scheming" within a week of arriving in Jinyun.

He also took the initiative to discuss with the director team...

To be precise, I discussed the shape of the monster with the special effects team...

The investment in special effects of the original "Sword of Heaven" is quite low, which makes the monsters look very fake, even if it's fake, it's still... not scary!

Referring to the memory of later generations, Shen Xudong personally drew the monster pattern of oriental aesthetics...

"Xianxia drama itself is an oriental thing, and monsters must not be Westernized!"
