Entertainment Godfather

That night, Luoyang invited Mai Yingjie to the studio as a guest.

Due to the popularity of "Nirvana in Fire", Mai Yingjie's status as a director has also risen. Although it cannot be compared with Gong Xin who has expanded his territory on the big screen, at least in the field of small screen, Mai Yingjie is already relatively A top batch.

And because of their successful cooperation with Luoyang, the two now have a pretty good personal relationship. When they heard that Luoyang asked him for help, they agreed without saying a word.

"I just want to make a short martial arts short film."

Luoyang said that only by coming up with new styles of martial arts shooting methods can companies seeking copyrights realize the huge market for martial arts novels.

He wants the audience of Dragon Kingdom to get out of the "hum ha ha he" realistic martial arts of the past and truly experience the bizarre world of martial arts.

"I know that the scene to be filmed is the decisive battle between the two swordsmen Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue at the top of the Forbidden City. I happened to have read your novel."

In fact, Mai Yingjie is also a little itchy. He has watched "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng". When he saw the plot of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, he couldn't help himself. He also imagined what the effect of filming this plot would be. .

"The scene I want to shoot may be different from what you think." Luoyang said after considering it.

Mai Yingjie smiled: "For those of us who have worked together once, let's not talk about this. Of course, you have a deeper understanding of your novel. Tell me what kind of picture you want. I will let the photographer take it. The overall style is still up to you. It’s up to you to decide.”

Luoyang didn't talk nonsense, or in other words, he came prepared this time.

The background in the art department gave him a good display space. Luoyang took out a stack of 4a paper, which was filled with pictures: "This is probably the picture I want."

This was rushed out of Luoyang in one afternoon, and it was painted with great care.

Mai Yingjie took over Luo Yang's painting and was stunned: "This... this is actually a storyboard. Teacher Luo, you learn things very quickly. When you were filming "Nirvana in Fire", you couldn't even come up with a storyboard. "

"Let's take a look first." Luoyang smiled modestly.

After all, he had learned a lot about directing after working as an assistant director. There were so many things in common between storyboards and comics, so it was not difficult for Luoyang.

Soon, Mai Yingjie let out an exclamation, pointed to a picture in the picture and said: "Luoyang, your picture is so strong, the composition method used is really great, and it seems to be the same as usual. Martial arts movies are different..."

Mai Yingjie knew that Luoyang had published comic works and was an art student with good painting skills.

But after actually seeing the scene of Luo Yang talking about painting, Mai Yingjie couldn't help but admire - this young teacher Luo is really too evil.

In the picture, two swordsmen are facing off at the highest point of the Forbidden City. On the left is a stern man in white clothes with long hair shawl, while on the right is also an iceberg man with fluttering white clothes and an indifferent temperament. There is a bright moon in the sky, and under the bright moon. , the two swordsmen lengthened their figures.

The duel between two peerless swordsmen is already thrilling.

The huge bright moon seems to be something you can reach out and touch. This is the finishing touch, and it may even require post-production.

Mai Yingjie clicked his tongue and praised: "This scene is definitely worth taking. The one on the left is Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, and the one on the right is the sword god Ximen Chuixue. The duel between the two of them must have a theme scene. It is very beautiful, I like it."

"There will be more later." Luoyang said with a smile.

After hearing this, Mai Yingjie continued to read with expectation.

When he saw the two swordsmen flying into the sky, and the two swords were entangled crazily, Mai Yingjie's expression changed: "Is this scene really okay? Teacher Luo, they flew more than three meters. And through the picture, it feels like the two of them have stayed in the air for so long..."

I thought Luoyang's martial arts would be different from others.

But who knew, it would be so different.

According to the inherent thinking of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, even martial arts must conform to the logic of the human body.

But in fact, whether it is Ye Gucheng's Flying Immortal from Heaven, Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi Finger, or Xiao Daxia's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, etc., they all go against common sense of physics and logical thinking. If you follow the limits of what the human body can withstand, The action shooting will make the audience lose the surprise.

Luoyang asked with a smile: "Don't you think this is very handsome? Does it fit the audience's fantasy of a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City?"

"That's what I said, but I'm afraid..." Mai Yingjie frowned, still feeling very unsure in his heart. Will such a scene cause a bombardment from the audience? You must know that this completely breaks the martial arts drama. The routine has greatly exaggerated one's personal strength.

"Director Mai, think about the description in the novel." Luoyang said.

Mai Yingjie was stunned, and then looked at Luoyang thoughtfully: "In the description of the novel, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are so powerful that they join forces and are not even afraid of thousands of troops, so what do you mean? It's...unreasonable, that's the most reasonable thing."

"That's right." Luoyang nodded: "You let two of the strongest people in the world hold swords and chop each other on the roof, just like gangsters fighting. What's the point? What I want is the reasonableness of the plot, not The picture is logical.”

Luoyang has full confidence in the audience's acceptance of the new style.

Because the reform in the previous life has been successful, it will undoubtedly be easy to prove it a second time.

"But the scenes you gave are difficult to shoot..." Mai Yingjie said again. He thought he would simply help Luoyang shoot a video, but he did not expect that these scenes would turn out to be a challenge for his director career. He has never made a martial arts film of this style.

There is no director in the entire Dragon Kingdom who has experience in shooting this type of martial arts film.

Moreover, the scenes in Luoyang had to be completed using Wi-Fi. During the crew's work, it was difficult to shoot with Wi-Fi.

"That's why I asked you for help, otherwise any advertising director can do it for me." Luoyang said with a smile. Fortunately, what needs to be shot is such a short video, which does not consume too much energy. If it is really a TV series , Mai Yingjie may not dare to shoot it yet.

"You've given me a big problem..."

Mai Yingjie smiled bitterly and continued to flip through the manuscript. When he saw a certain scene at the end, Mai Yingjie suddenly opened his mouth wide: "You are crazy!"

Luoyang looked down and found that Mai Yingjie was referring to a picture of Ye Gucheng using the flying immortal from the sky - only Ye Gucheng's body turned into a shadow, only the sword light was flickering, and in the beauty of the moonlight , there are several fairies flying like Dunhuang murals!

Impact, absolute impact - such a picture, the words "Flying Immortal from Beyond the Sky" flashed in my mind subconsciously.

Mai Yingjie swore that he had never seen martial arts with such crazy special effects. If it were martial arts in the past, he would definitely not express the so-called flying immortals in such a subversive way.

Are you sure Luoyang is drawing martial arts scenes, not comics?

"You only need to be responsible for taking the pictures, and find someone to do the special effects later." Luoyang knew that Mai Yingjie would definitely hesitate. After all, such a shooting style was unheard of and broke people's inertia of understanding.

Mai Yingjie's face was still full of shock.

After a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Sure, although it is difficult, it may not be impossible to shoot. I also want to try the effect - because this picture is really beautiful. Although the style is different from usual, I have to admit that it is different. Very cool and domineering in every aspect!”
