Chapter 585 The Legend of Sword and Fairy Sets Sail (9,000 Words Updated!)
Whether Yan Lingyu can play the role of Ling'er in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is secondary. Lu Yanhe now wants to know even more what happened to Yan Lingyu to make her suddenly give up her career as an actress.
In fact, since "Late Spring" was released, Lu Yanhe has not had much contact with the actors of this movie. Except for Wang Jing, who was chosen by Lu Yanhe to star in "The Telephone" with Jiang Yuqian because of her role in "The Squid Game", the other actors only maintained contact with each other by saying a few greetings during New Years and holidays.
On the one hand, they don't have much contact with each other, and on the other hand, when this movie was being filmed, Lu Yanhe didn't have much personal relationship with them. At that time, Lu Yanhe had already become famous and had a higher status in the crew than Liu Bige. The other actors were all newcomers. It was rare for him not to be nervous or reserved when facing Lu Yanhe. How could he develop a good personal relationship with him.
But in terms of normal interpersonal communication, they all got acquainted because of this movie and had contact information. Compared with ordinary friends, they are still more familiar with each other.
Lu Yanhe immediately contacted Wang Jing to see if Wang Jing knew about Yan Lingyu's situation.
When Wang Jing heard his doubts, she explained: "Lingyu acted in two movies, both of which were severely criticized. She also lost her confidence in acting, and she refused to take on roles in the future."
Lu Yanhe didn't know about Yan Lingyu's next two movies. He had the impression that he didn't even know these two movies existed. Maybe I was too busy at that time to notice.
Yan Lingyu had a huge conflict with his agency mainly because of the two movies. These two movies were given to her by her agency. After "Late Spring" was released at that time, Yan Lingyu had actually become famous and attracted quite a lot of attention in the industry. Newcomers pay special attention to their starting point. Yan Lingyu's starting point can basically be described as one of the highest starting points in the history of Chinese film, so that her acting skills are slightly inferior, but she is not criticized.
No one has too high expectations for a newcomer's acting skills. Being able to do it without acting out and having such an atmospheric face is enough for the industry to wait for her to hone her acting skills and grow slowly.
It was under this situation that Yan Lingyu was accepted into the next two movies by his agency. Neither of the two movies had serious themes. One was a cruel youth love story, and the other was a fantasy production. As a result, it failed at the box office and was scolded by the audience. Yan Lingyu, who plays the heroine, is naturally the focus of the artillery fire.
The scolding lasted for almost half a year, and then Yan Lingyu was scolded for being autistic and refused to act again.
"Half a year ago, I heard that she seemed to be terminating her contract with the agency. I didn't know how to negotiate. There has been no new news." Wang Jing said, "Do you need me to ask?"
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "Please help me ask."
"Okay." Wang Jing agreed and added, "Actually, she called me at that time and asked me for my opinion."
"What's your opinion?" Lu Yanhe was a little confused.
"Can I ask you for help?" Wang Jing said, "She probably didn't go to you in the end, right?"
"No, after the movie promotion is over, we just like it on our friends circle and send a few greetings during the holidays."
"Sure enough, she was afraid of disturbing you and causing you trouble." Wang Jing said, "She wanted to terminate the contract with the company at that time. I told her that when I signed the contract with the company, I just listened to your opinion. So I waited for a year before signing a contract with Northern Lights Video after the release of "Late Spring". She probably still found it troublesome, so she was too embarrassed to talk to you. "
"So, maybe it's not that she doesn't want to act anymore, but the contract restricts her now, making her unwilling to take roles?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"Perhaps yes. However, maybe Ling Yu really doesn't want to act anymore. During the time when she was scolded by many people, she was very broken. She was really broken. Qingqing and I both went to accompany her, and she was completely depressed. No, I'm afraid she'll be depressed."
Wang Jing sighed.
"The most important thing is that I heard Kong Fan say that she was jealous and ostracized in school at that time. The competition in Jingyi School was very fierce, and the relationship between girls was even more subtle. If there were no later What happened in those two movies may be against the heroine of "Late Spring" There will be a group of people around her who support her humbly, but after she was scolded, she was basically alienated. Kong Fan was a boy and had a girlfriend, so it was not easy for me to help. Qingqing goes to Jingyi from time to time to look for her, or ask her out. "
Lu Yanhe really didn't know anything about these things.
This made him feel a little depressed for no reason.
Although Lu Yanhe and Yan Lingyu had no personal relationship after filming, they were actors who had worked together before, and they got along pretty well during the filming. As a result, he didn't even hear about what happened to them later. .
Lu Yanhe told Wang Biao about this matter and asked Wang Biao to help him find out what was going on with Yan Lingyu and her current agency.
Wang Biao now has quite a wide network of contacts in the entertainment industry, and he quickly found out some basic information. Yan Lingyu signed to Weather Vane after "Late Spring". Wind Vane is also a large company with strong strength. When it signed a contract with Yan Lingyu, it specially released news.
"Yan Lingyu's manager is called Du Weixian. It is true that there are rumors that Yan Lingyu and Du Weixian were not very happy last year. There was a show that was originally scheduled for Yan Lingyu, but in the end the person was changed temporarily because Yan Lingyu refused to come. "Wang Biao said, "It is said that Du Wei Xian accepted the show without Yan Lingyu's consent, and she had already broken up with Du Wei Xian. "
Lu Yanhe sighed.
"Yan Lingyu has not taken any job for more than a year. Many people in the industry feel that she has been hidden by the wind vane."
"How long has she been under contract with Weather Vane?"
"Eight years, there are still five years to go."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
-
Lu Yanhe told Luo Yuzhong everything about the situation.
"Yan Lingyu may not be able to perform in "Sword" for the time being."
Luo Yuzhong frowned when he heard what was behind him.
He is a veteran and is much more familiar with this aspect of the entertainment industry than Lu Yanhe.
Over the years, I don’t know how many times I have seen something like this happen.
He asked: "Have you talked to Yan Lingyu?"
"Not yet." Lu Yanhe said, "I'm going to go find her directly. The last time I called her, she didn't say anything. She only said that she didn't want to act anymore. If I didn't talk to her face to face, I'm afraid she wouldn't Tell me the truth - Wang Jing has helped me understand the situation. Anyway, her first movie was shot with me. I will see where I can help her, but this matter involves her. Due to the conflict with the agency, our drama is about to start filming, so we probably won’t be able to make it in time.”
Luo Yuzhong noticed the genuine concern on Lu Yanhe's face, nodded, and said, "I'll go and communicate with the weathervane company. Talk to Yan Lingyu and see what she thinks. "She has such good looks and has filmed "Late Spring", so it is really a pity that she gave up being an actress so early."
Lu Yanhe did not expect that Luo Yuzhong would take the initiative to communicate with the Wind Vane Company. Does he admire Yan Lingyu so much?
However, one thing to say is that Yan Lingyu's appearance is indeed top-notch even in the entertainment industry. She is not an ordinary beauty. Her facial features have a sense of story. Coupled with her natural cold and taciturn temperament, her beauty in "Late Spring" is unforgettable. To a certain extent, although she is not a replica of the fairy sister, her temperament is unique.
Perhaps a director like Luo Yuzhong, the more actors he meets, the more he understands what kind of face is precious.
-
"The director may have decided that Yan Lingyu should play the role of Ling'er."
Speaking of this matter, Chen Siqi expressed his speculation.
"In the story of "Fairy Sword", the role of Ling'er is quite important. It can be said that she is the background of this story. Although you wrote this story completely according to Li Xiaoyao's growth line, Li Xiaoyao's growth In the line, Ling'er occupies "The biggest key." Chen Siqi said, "Li Xiaoyao is the real part, and Ling'er is the virtual part, which is more spiritual, pure, and like a beauty that cannot really exist in the world. This character cannot stand, and the whole story cannot stand. Just give a discount.”
Chen Siqi's words shocked Lu Yanhe.
Of course he knows how important the role of Ling'er is to "Legend of Sword and Fairy". This drama was very popular back then, and it was obviously a male-led drama, but the character of Ling'er almost rivaled Li Xiaoyao, because The character design of this character is so perfect. It is almost the most perfect character design that has ever appeared in movies and TV series. Both boys and girls like it.
But before this drama came out, Chen Siqi clearly understood the importance of the role of Ling'er to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" just by reading the script. Not only the importance of being a heroine, Lu Yanhe felt more and more You can see how accurate Chen Siqi's judgment and vision of a drama are now.
No wonder, Chen Siqi can find the most suitable promotion and marketing method for a drama every time. A person who doesn't really understand drama can't figure out what method is most appropriate.
Lu Yanhe said: "I still haven't thought about how to tell Yan Lingyu about this."
Chen Siqi thought for a while and said, "I think you need to find out first whether she is still willing to film. This is the most important thing. If she has no such willingness at all, even if we help her solve the problem with the agency, It won’t help, we need to find other actors as soon as possible.”
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "I have made an appointment with her to have lunch near her house tomorrow at noon. How about you go with me? I don't know her very well. If it's just the two of us, It would be quite embarrassing.”
Chen Siqi said: "It's okay for me to accompany you, but I don't know her either. It might make it more difficult for her to express her thoughts. Didn't Wang Jing say everything? She wanted to ask you for help before, but in the end I didn’t look for it because I was afraid of bothering you.”
"Too."
Chen Siqi: "Just have a frank chat with her. Firstly, the role in "Sword" is really suitable for her. Secondly, aside from "Sword", you two have worked together before and have such a fate. Where can I help? , it is unjustifiable to turn a blind eye, let her not do that So close yourself off. If I were in her shoes, I would definitely need your help right now, but I’m embarrassed to ask for it. She’s only been in the entertainment industry for a short period of time, so she may be the most capable person I know. It’s you who she can solve this matter with.”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
Yan Lingyu is still the same as when he was filming, as if nothing has changed.
She came alone, without bodyguards or assistants. She only wore light makeup. She looked less like a female star and more like a college student who was still studying in college.
Lu Yanhe praised: "It's still so beautiful."
Yan Lingyu smiled, lowered his head, waved his hands, and said, "I'm so sorry, Yan He, thank you for still thinking of me in your play, but I may not be suitable to be an actor."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Before the pleasantries even started, Yan Lingyu immediately got into the topic.
This made him a little confused.
"It's okay, let's sit down." Lu Yanhe said, "It was also this time that I suddenly heard you say that you didn't want to act anymore. I was shocked. I asked Wang Jing, and then I learned about what happened to you after filming "Late Spring". "
Yan Lingyu smiled a little sparsely.
"It's embarrassing."
"How could it be so? This actually has nothing to do with you." Lu Yanhe said categorically, "It's because the director didn't find your good points and filmed them. Look at how well you performed in "Late Spring". People were amazed.”
The light in Yan Lingyu's eyes was dim. Even so, it didn't seem to touch her much.
"Besides, I also heard about what happened between you and your company." Lu Yanhe changed the subject and said, "Lingyu, you said you don't want to act anymore. Is it because you really don't want to act anymore, or is it because of the relationship with the agency? "
Yan Lingyu looked at Lu Yanhe blankly.
"Although we don't usually have much contact, if you need any help, you can come to us, although I may not be able to help." Lu Yanhe said very seriously, "In addition to wanting to know more about your acting In addition to my thoughts, I also want to ask you face to face, what is your current situation with the brokerage company, and what can I do to help you? "
Yan Lingyu's eyes really turned red for a moment.
No exaggeration.
Maybe even the movie special effects are not as fast as her moment.
Sometimes human emotions are like thunder and rain, coming suddenly and without warning.
-
Lu Yanhe waited for Yan Lingyu to calm down and began to tell what happened between her and her agency. When he heard the end, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The conflict between Yan Lingyu and her agency is actually not big or small.
To put it bluntly, it was just that the two movies Yan Lingyu accepted at the request of the company received very bad responses, which also dealt a serious blow to Yan Lingyu. As a result, she questioned the roles the company gave her and refused to cooperate with the company anymore. She took the job.
Fengbiao didn't realize that Yan Lingyu at this time was actually just hurt by the previous results. If he could be coaxed and persuaded, it would be fine.
They regarded Yan Lingyu as a disobedient actor and were determined to teach him a lesson.
Therefore, Yan Lingyu, who had been criticized for his film performance, was surrounded by negative comments almost all the time due to the troll attacks arranged by the company.
Even the company asked everyone to ignore Yan Lingyu and not give her a good look.
Yan Lingyu's mood and state collapsed directly under this situation. By the time Yan Lingyu realized that there were instructions from the company behind all this, her mentality had collapsed countless times. And even if she knew the reason for the neglect and hostility towards her in the surrounding environment, she would not have any power to compete with the company.
Yan Lingyu was "taught" until he was helpless and disheartened. She had thought about whether she could ask Lu Yanhe and Liu Bige for help, but she also knew that when it came to her agency contract, even Lu Yanhe and Liu Bige couldn't help much. She asked the company to terminate the contract, and the company directly offered her a termination fee of 30 million.
Since she entered this industry, she has never seen even three million, let alone thirty million.
A huge mountain was pressing down on her, and there was no way she could climb over it.
So, just like that, she decided not to be an artist or act anymore.
-
"Actually, it's not a big deal. If she could just soften up, lower her head, and tell the truth, we wouldn't have been cold to her for so long. When we signed her, we invested a lot of resources in her. She doesn't work. , it’s us who are at fault. The little girl is arrogant and doesn’t listen to the arrangements. We have arranged all the programs for her. We have spent a lot of effort to negotiate for her as a resident guest of the popular variety show, but she won’t go if she doesn’t want to. ”
Luo Yuzhong was sitting in the room of the owner of the Wind Vane Brokerage Company, listening to another man's complaints and complaints together with the owner of the Wind Vane Brokerage Company.
Yan Lingyu's agent, Du Weixian.
"It's her honor that you can take a fancy to her and find her to act in a play." Du Wei first said with a smile on his face: "It's just that she has a very tough temper. Director, she doesn't even answer my calls now. In fact, , I also have a new person on hand, the new person I just signed, her appearance is no worse than Yan Lingyu, do you want to meet her? "
Luo Yuzhong: "It can be seen that there are still some roles in this drama that have not been confirmed, but the best candidate for the heroine in my heart is Yan Lingyu. Mr. Chen, if you are willing to give me this face, let her play my drama, This drama should be played by Lu Yan. I don’t need to say how much attention the heroine of this drama will receive, starring He, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang. After this drama is aired, you can decide for yourself the internal affairs of Yan Lingyu and your company. Take it easy, what do you think?"
Du Wei first wanted to speak.
Mr. Chen glanced sideways, and Du Wei closed his mouth instantly.
Mr. Chen smiled slightly at Luo Yuzhong and said: "Director, it is her honor and our honor that you like Yan Lingyu. Don't worry, we will definitely send Yan Lingyu to the crew to report before the crew starts shooting."
Luo Yuzhong nodded, "Thank you very much, Mr. Chen. It's normal for young people to have tempers and lose their temper. I think Yan Lingyu must have grown up after this incident. We elders should be more tolerant and less tolerant." Chi Qi, when they grow up, they will naturally understand our feelings.”
Mr. Chen nodded.
"We will organize a round of auditions later. There are still many roles in our drama that have not yet been cast. At that time, we will ask Mr. Chen to send more potential actors to try out the roles to give us more choices." Luo Yuzhong smiled.
"For Director Luo's plays, as long as our actors have time, we will let them audition." Mr. Chen said with a smile, "I also ask you to provide more guidance. It doesn't matter whether or not the play is auditioned in the end. It's enough if you can give them some guidance." They benefited."
The two settled the matter after chatting. Mr. Chen personally sent Luo Yuzhong to the elevator door. When he got off, he turned to Du Wei and said, "What's going on with Yan Lingyu? When did we hide her? She's not The heroine of "Late Spring"?
Du Weixian's expression changed slightly, he opened his mouth, and wanted to explain a few words, but Mr. Chen didn't seem to want to listen to him either.
"Go and ask Mr. Wen to come to my office."
Mr. Wen and Wen Ken are the vice presidents of Fengbiao Company in charge of artist management and coordination.
Du Weixian's expression didn't change slightly this time, but completely changed.
-
"Buzzing." The phone vibrated.
Yan Lingyu, who returned to the apartment after having a meal with Lu Yanhe, picked up his phone.
There is a message just sent by Lu Yanhe on the phone: Director Luo has negotiated with the boss of your company. They will change you to an agent and support you in "Legend of Sword and Fairy". From now on, your relationship with your company will be better. It's up to you to decide how you handle it, but no matter how you choose to handle it, you will always be stronger and have more choices. I still hope you can seriously consider the drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and let you act in it. , maybe it can completely change your current situation.
Yan Lingyu sat on the sofa and looked at the message on the screen of his mobile phone. He read it countless times. He was silent for a long time and hesitated for a long time.
In the hotel, Lu Yanhe told her that it was not uncommon for artists to be bullied and squeezed by agencies. He understood her current lack of confidence and belittlement of herself, but this was not a matter of acting skills. This was the moment when she was being suppressed in her life, and whether she wanted to The question of whether to withstand it or not.
Lu Yanhe's words were like a stone mill, crushing her heart.
Yan Lingyu still has no self-confidence, and because he has not worked or acted for more than a year, he spends almost all of his time at home alone, and has lost his sensitivity to the outside world——
acting?
Yan Lingyu suddenly covered his face at this moment and couldn't help crying.
-
"Yan Lingyu is actually not a very confident person."
Wang Jing sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. Next to her was Kong Fan.
Lu Yanhe specially made an appointment with the two of them to eat hot pot at Ziyuanqiao tonight - it was also because of Yan Lingyu's incident that he realized that he had not contacted his friends from the "Late Spring" crew for too long.
We originally had an appointment with He Qingqing, but He Qingqing was filming on the set and had to miss it.
Lu Yanhe was surprised and asked: "She has a face like that, but she's not confident yet?"
"Because she has been very good-looking since she was a child, her mother has always been a suppressive education, saying that she has no other advantages besides being good-looking, and that she is useless." Wang Jing sighed, "So she has always been quite unconfident. , she didn’t talk much when she was with us, and at first I thought she was aloof and didn’t want to talk to us.”
Kong Fan: "She does give everyone such an impression in school. Everyone says she is as proud as a swan. This is why no one dares to approach her. Even if it is a girl, the boys in our school all think she is. No one dares to approach the flower of the high mountains.”
Lu Yanhe was actually quite surprised by what Kong Fan and Wang Jing said.
Because this completely broke Lu Yanhe's impression of Yan Lingyu.
However, putting the words said by the two of them together with Yan Lingyu, it does not seem to be inconsistent. Because Yan Lingyu is usually like that, but the way of interpretation is different.
"I still hope she can resolve the conflict with the company." Wang Jing said with her chin in her hand.
At this time, Chen Siqi came back.
Lu Yanhe heard the noise at the door and stood up in surprise.
"Why are you back now? Didn't you say you had an appointment with someone for dinner?"
"We have an appointment with someone for dinner. I will come back and change clothes first." Chen Siqi said, "I drank coffee during the day and accidentally spilled it on myself. The mark is too obvious."
Only then did Lu Yanhe notice that there was a darker mark on Chen Siqi's waist - it was just because she was wearing a dark blue shirt today, so if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it.
Chen Siqi first said hello to Wang Jing and Kong Fan.
"Sorry, I couldn't have hot pot with you because I had arranged work in advance. Ah, I really want to eat hot pot -"
Her eyes lit up as she looked at the hot pot, and she waved to Wang Jing and Kong Fan, "I have to go in and change clothes, otherwise I will be late. You guys eat slowly."
It only took Chen Siqi five minutes to change into a set of clothes. He still smiled and said goodbye to Wang Jing and Kong Fan before leaving.
The whole process was obviously very stressful, but it gave people a warm feeling of being taken care of.
"I'll send her down for a while. You guys eat first and I'll be up right away."
Lu Yanhe sent Chen Siqi downstairs.
Wang Jing and Kong Fan looked at each other.
The hotpot was bubbling between the two of them.
After a while, Wang Jingcai said: "Are they two so sweet? It makes me want to fall in love."
Kong Fan smiled.
"Then you fall in love. Haven't you met someone you like?"
"It happened, but I always felt that being in a relationship affected my work. The two people I talked to before thought that I was too busy at work and didn't have time to go out with them, so I gave up."
"You should work less hard. In fact, I find it strange. Your ambition is the strongest I have ever seen."
"Are Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi's ambitions weak? How can they be so perfect in their career and love? I also want a double harvest." Wang Jing pouted, "Oh, in fact, if Ling Yu can be half as good as Chen Siqi Her character wouldn’t be so broken.”
Kong Fan: "She just signed with the agency early. If she had been like you and waited until "Late Spring" was released before signing with the agency, the contract conditions would have been much better."
"I have to thank Lu Yanhe for this. He advised me not to rush to sign the contract. After the work was released, there were two completely different situations." Wang Jing said, "Obviously Lingyu is the heroine, but in "Late Spring", she received so much attention It is also the most, but I am the most benefited, because in the terms of my contract with Northern Lights, I was promised to have a female lead film every year.”
Kong Fan: "Ling Yu felt that she was deceived by the weather vane from the very beginning. After she knew that the signing conditions she got were so poor, there was a disagreement with her agent. Later, as you know, her agent gave The two movies she accepted were things she didn't want to do in the first place, but her agent forced her to take them, and she ended up falling out, and the relationship completely fell apart."
Wang Jing: "Fortunately, Yan He was there to help her coordinate this time."
"Actually, Yan He is a really nice person. I regret that I didn't keep in touch because I was afraid of disturbing him." Kong Fan suddenly thought of something, smiled and said, "Actually, I was shocked when I received his call today. I jumped and thought something was wrong.”
Wang Jing: "Who makes you think so much? You have been filming with him for so long. No one else knows. Don't you still know what kind of person he is in private? Anyway, I will basically ask him if I have anything. He has experienced a lot more things than us. With his opinion, we can avoid many detours.”
"You have cooperated with him so many times, of course you can ask him."
"Didn't I just work with him once like you at the beginning? Besides, you were the most familiar with him when we were filming. You were too timid to disturb him. Who's to blame?" Wang Jing said. , "And why should you be afraid of disturbing him and taking advantage of him? If you are better and more popular, you can also help him. He did jump theater. At the beginning, no actors were willing to perform this kind of experiment. We will perform a short play at this time."
Kong Fan smiled, "It would be great if I had your mentality."
"I'm surprised you don't have such a mentality." Wang Jing said, "Do you still expect Yan He to take the initiative to pay attention to what you need?"
"No, I never thought about asking him to help me with anything in particular." Kong Fan sighed, "Not everyone can be as casual as you."
"Whatever?" Wang Jing immediately rolled her eyes, "Are you insinuating something?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Kong Fan immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, "I mean, this is determined by your personality. You are very generous and can express your own thoughts, but I Neither Yan Lingyu nor Yan Lingyu has such a personality. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that he just can’t do it.”
The two looked at each other.
The hotpot was still bubbling among them.
-
When Yan Lingyu was finally confirmed to play the role of Ling'er, Lu Yanhe thought he could breathe a sigh of relief.
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that in addition to Linger, another very important female character Lin Yueru and Luo Yuzhong were also interested -
Xiao Yun.
However, before Lu Yanhe could say anything, Luo Yuzhong vetoed it himself.
First, with Xiao Yun's current popularity and status, there is no need to play the second female lead in a fairy tale drama with a male protagonist. Second, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" does not have the extra budget to pay Xiao Yun.
Based on Xiao Yun's current market salary, even if she only wanted a friendship price, it would be nearly 10 million yuan.
Luo Yuzhong instructed the casting director to find an actress based on Xiao Yun's shape.
As for another important role, Anu, Luo Yuzhong finally had no intention of choosing a candidate and decided to leave it to auditions to find an actor.
This was the first time Lu Yanhe saw Luo Yuzhong preparing for a drama in the early stage and how he decided on the actors.
For some roles, Luo Yuzhong already has suitable actors in his mind, while for some roles, Luo Yuzhong has no suitable actors for the time being. For this type, the casting director needs to search for those who meet the basic requirements and then invite them to audition.
At the beginning, Luo Yuzhong went to Star Entertainment to organize an audition for a role with a small role in the drama "Golden Age", which shows that he has high requirements for actors.
Lu Yanhe also discovered that almost all good directors attach great importance to casting.
It even attached so much importance that Lu Yanhe felt it was too much.
Luo Yuzhong obviously already had a picture of what kind of actor should play each role in his mind. There were many actors that Lu Yanhe felt were quite suitable after watching the video, and Luo Yuzhong did not hesitate to put a cross on them.
He already has a clear idea of what "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is going to look like.
-
Northern Lights Video also introduced their latest production management system, which will be used in the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
In the past, the filming of a movie required countless communication group chats, phone calls, and on-site meetings, which involved the cooperation of various departments and types of work. This process was laborious and error-prone. The production management system developed by Northern Lights Video can gather information on shooting materials, fund usage, shooting progress, crew props, scene dynamics, etc. in real time. Each department can directly see each department directly in this system. progress.
Not only that, for green screen dramas like "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which have many special effects, it can provide real-time virtual scene technology, so that the samples shot on site can directly show a rough effect combined with special effects, from which we can judge Whether the shooting material can be used, if not, you can reshoot immediately——
In the past, such problems might not have been discovered until the editing room. At that time, reshooting would either be time-consuming and laborious, or impossible, and could only be solved through other technical means, which would affect the final quality of the film.
The actors can also see on the scene at any time what the scene they are performing in the air will look like on the screen, which makes it easier for the director and actors to make adjustments and avoid the bad effect of the actors' performance and the special effects production being out of frequency in the later stage.
Luo Yuzhong is very interested in the production management system provided by Northern Lights. He has been pondering and researching it and communicates with Lu Yanhe from time to time.
Lu Yanhe also followed and learned the most advanced system for domestic film and television drama production.
This completely changed the way traditional crews shoot.
He can foresee that when this kind of production management system is promoted throughout the industry, there will be a major change in the production process of the entire industry.
However, it won’t happen in a short time now, because this is a system developed by Northern Lights Video itself and is not authorized to be released to the public.
Luo Yuzhong said: "Xiaohe, let's go back and discuss with Northern Lights. At least let them share this technology with us. How much time and loss can we save in shooting with such a system?"
Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.
"Then I have to discuss it with them. I don't know if they will agree." He said.
Luo Yuzhong said: "This thing is really good. It can even directly simulate the shooting effect through the early design of the shooting scene and lens movement, allowing me to see the final presentation of different shooting plans directly in this system. A basic effect, on-site light test, and lens movement can all be simulated in this system first. ”
Luo Yuzhong became more and more excited as he talked.
Lu Yanhe said, "Okay, teacher, let's go talk to them later and ask them to authorize us to use this production management system, even if we pay royalties."
Luo Yuzhong nodded with satisfaction.
"Then when you come back from the Jose Film Festival, we will first tell the Northern Lights about it, and secondly, we will start auditioning." Luo Yuzhong said, "Before that, I will take the art team to visit the locations to see what they have. The scene can be shot in real time.”
"good."
Although directors like Luo Yuzhong also embrace the current special effects technology, when they can shoot in real scenes, he still prefers to shoot in real scenes. This is a habit developed by directors of their generation, and it is also their basic aesthetic concept——
