Although.
Somewhat "too ambitious".
However, it’s okay to think about it in your spare time and have some ideas.
after all.
In Director Guo’s opinion.
You, a director of science fiction movies, don’t even dare to think about it, and you won’t be able to make a good movie.
Director Guo's requirements are really high.
With Wu Jing's box office guarantee.
and.
It has its own carefully polished script and a large number of special effects that burn as much as gold.
With the ultimate cost reduction, I will definitely be able to surprise the Chinese audience.
The more I think about it.
Director Guo becomes more motivated.
He waved his hand and called his assistant - the producer of Good Friends.
"Good brother, go outside Optics Valley and recruit more college students from computer science departments who can do programming."
"Yes, can that be done?"
The friend was stunned.
I always feel that it is a bit wrong for you, the "future of Chinese science fiction movies", to choose "college students at the gate of Optics Valley".
"No problem, college students are very strong."
Director Guo chuckled.
"And it's cheap."
"."
My friend was extremely speechless.
That's what he said, but don't be so straightforward.
Wuhan.
Famous university town.
Here, there are really a lot of college students, and the most indispensable thing is college students.
"How much is the salary?"
"What kind of salary are you offering? We are giving them excellent internship opportunities for free, including lunch."
"?"
My friend was just stunned.
These words simply made capitalists cry after hearing them.
"Oh, it's hard for the crew."
Director Guo sighed.
Although the production has begun to gradually enter the final stage.
However, preparations for publicity still have not started at all because there is no funds.
You still have to pay for the publicity expenses yourself.
"."
"It's not a big problem. If you go and ask, there will always be people who are willing to come. After all, being able to do internships in science fiction movies is indeed a valuable asset for them. If we can't afford the remuneration, then we can only use technology. And teaching makes up for it.”
".I'll give it a try. If I can't succeed, don't blame me."
"Don't worry, you won't find it!"
"?"
Looking at Director Guo's confident look, his friend really couldn't imagine that he could recruit staff with "no money", "have a lunch box" and "do special effects"?
"Just tell people that there is an actor named Wu Jing in the crew. Maybe you can meet Wolf Warrior when he comes?"
".You have something."
My friend felt his scalp was numb.
He glanced at Director Guo.
You're really not a good person
"Then let me try?"
"Um!"
Director Guo pinched his chin.
Nod.
"Besides, I'm not sure, the college students recruited can also help promote it and contribute to our box office or something?"
"?"
To the ears of my best friend, these words were almost like the whispers of Satan.
then.
My friend tried his luck and tried it.
Don't say it.
It really hired a lot of college programmers.
Don’t say anything else.
Just say it is "science fiction movie special effects production".
Good guy.
That attracted many college students to participate.
Moreover.
No matter what the money is, the main reason is that I will have the opportunity to meet Wu Jing and meet Uncle Da in the future.
A few days passed.
Things that made the producer feel very "sci-fi" actually happened.
A group of college students, a happy group came to the crew.
With the blessing of various big pie buffs such as "Wu Jing buff" + "crew internship experience buff" + "luxury team" + "future milestone of Chinese science fiction movies"
The enthusiasm for work simply burned the entire venue.
It's as if he can't wait to destroy Hollywood in its place.
This scene.
It even made the producer wonder whether Director Guo had some kind of magical power.
"First it was Uncle Da, and then Brother Hua. Brother Hua couldn't come for the time being, and Li Jinglin came from nowhere. Forget it, Wu Jing also came. After that, he became the leading actor, and he became the leading actor. Come invest”
"Whose leading actor's salary is minus 60 million?"
"Now that I'm going to college for free, I still want people to contribute to the box office?"
The producer clicked his tongue and looked at Director Guo.
With this method, I have to give Director Guo a few thumbs up.
Time passes slowly.
While Director Guo continued to cause trouble to Li Jinglin, the soundtrack work also progressed very quickly.
Although the special effects are still being produced.
However, the specific storyboards, drawings, and the duration of the presentation are arranged.
It has been determined.
Although it is indeed a bit difficult to write a soundtrack with the original green screen film, this difficulty really does not trouble Li Jinglin.
Whether it's an excellent actor or an excellent composer.
Everyone must have a basic ability.
[Read more profound expressions from the limited script]
for example.
The original script was very simple.
[Newscaster: Our live broadcast vehicle has arrived at the best observation location. This will be the first and last time that humans will witness the majestic beauty of Jupiter with their own eyes.
Han Duoduo stopped and took a second look. 】
In this short scene of the script, there are only two main people appearing in total.
Announcer, Han Duoduo.
And there is no emotion depicted in the script.
As an actor, the first thing you have to do is naturally think about what your character will be thinking and feeling in the context of the entire story.
Would a newscaster feel the mystery of the stars, the beauty of Jupiter, wonder about the landscape, and a little bit of fear?
And what kind of thoughts do you hold on the destiny of mankind? As a broadcaster, what kind of emotions need to be presented to the audience? Will there be some chemical reaction or qualitative change between the two emotions?
As for the actor Han Duoduo, all he needs to consider is...
What kind of mood did Han Duoduo have to stop and take a second look, and what kind of deep meaning needed to be expressed in it.
Based on Han Duoduo's identity, personality, age, what kind of expressions and emotions will she experience.
What the director considers is how to move the camera and how to cut it.
After the film is completed.
What the composer needs to consider is how to use musical symbols to illustrate this indescribable texture.
For example, adding a little bass sounds like a heavy mood, and Han Duoduo's pause and look in the past can make the music lighter? Showing the beauty of "a solitary flower blooming in the apocalyptic wasteland"?
Or simply let the actors act more relaxedly and rely on the soundtrack to suppress their emotions.
All kinds of this.
It's one of the differences between a great movie and a bad one.
It is also the most obvious contrast and gap between the veteran acting style and the traffic waste, between the music composer himself and the random material.
The final effect of the film is really different.
In the former, you will feel that a strong sense of atmosphere and artistic conception comes over you instantly, and the indescribable emotions are well conveyed. They are very contagious and can empathize. You can take part in it and be immersed in it.
The latter will only feel awkward, fragmented, and disturbing just by looking at it.
Li Jinglin's excellence.
The thing is that you don’t even need a picture.
Give a concise text from the script.
Then you can imagine the magnificent scene, analyze the emotions of each character, and in your mind, you can closely imagine the scenes and stories described in the script.
Excellent demos can be produced immediately.
At that time, only targeted modifications are needed.
Especially if you can grasp a key point.
From language and text, "shot focus" and "close-up" can be extracted.
And targeted at these prominent points, using volume, pitch, timbre and other aspects of matching, invisibly, using sound to hint to the audience and affect the audience's emotions.
Maybe I have no memory of the soundtrack at all.
But it is this soundtrack that will make you feel very emotional when watching the movie.
because
Where suggestion is needed, music must be silent.
On the contrary, where a sense of presence is needed, the presence of music must be able to compete with the scene and the intense development of the plot.
Over the next week.
Li Jinglin maintains a frequency of "ten opportunities to leave messages" with Director Guo every day.
Start fine-tuning and rectifying the music.
It’s really not Li Jinglin’s big name.
It is true that Director Guo criticizes me too much and likes to post cat emoticons, which often raises his own blood pressure.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Director Guo started his new request.
Come up with a theme music for "The Wandering Earth" and use it as a preview song for the first wave of films.
Not really a trailer.
It simply gives some animations that focus on depicting the background landscape and various memory points.
For example, planetary engines, the frozen earth, the high-hanging red spot of Jupiter, and people walking on the ice like ants.
"Theme music?"
Li Jinglin raised his eyebrows.
This requirement may seem difficult.
It's actually very simple.
In a grand orchestral piece.
There is always a melody that runs throughout and is the "center" of a piece of music. This is the "theme motivation".
In the movie's soundtrack, the use of some music is very similar to this.
In orchestral music, the theme motivation is often expanded, varied, polyphonic, etc. transformed.
And in the movie’s soundtrack.
That is to write a melody, and then arrange the melody into a completely different texture according to different scenes.
For example, it can be intense, it can be high-burning, it can be sad, it can be melancholy.
Whether it is animation soundtracks, games, or movie soundtracks, this method is very common.
then.
Li Jinglin picked out a melody that was frequently used throughout the movie.
With the piano as the main body.
The grand symphonic effect of orchestral music adds flesh and blood to this piano.
It can be used as theme music with a slight modification.
The theme music was completed in just over a minute.
This 1 minute and 16 seconds seems to condense the entire magnificent story of "The Wandering Earth".
After sending it to Director Guo.
Director Guo then started working on the first wave of online promotions to warm up the impression video combination.
Push to the network.
Because there is not much money invested in publicity.
The response to this video seems not to be very enthusiastic.
Very few people commented.
On the third night after sending out.
Director Guo learned from the pain.
Decided to change the title of the promotion.
【The magnificent epic of mankind! Li Jinglin composed the theme music of "The Wandering Earth"! 】
rub!
Rub it hard!
Then a crazy meal begins.
After being seen by Aite's people, their eyelids jumped.
This feels like "I'm just going to see if you can give Brother Lin some face."
And this scene.
Being noticed by some mainstream media.
Especially the dumplings.
"Chinese hard science fiction is a masterpiece! Wu Jing stars! Uncle Li Jinglin joins the cast."
see this thing
He just stood there and stared with his eyes wide open.
Where did this great power come from and gather so many big guys?
Click to take a look.
I was shocked by the short video that was slightly revealed.
The piano sounds along with the theme music.
What lies before our eyes is an endless expanse of ice.
It has the words "Shanghai" written on it.
Wearing something similar to a space suit, walk on the ice field.
Seems so small.
Through the hard and thick ice, it seems that you can still see the high-rise buildings sealed by the ice.
finally.
In a long bass crescendo, a grand symphonic narrative unfolds.
The camera suddenly turned and came to such a dark but bright night sky!
The red halo is flowing, and Jupiter's huge Great Red Spot hangs in the sky. The fear of giant objects makes people feel even more insignificant.
Paired with magnificent orchestral music, it stirs the heart.
A heartfelt feeling of shock suddenly burst out, and for a moment, people felt a little numb!
Just below the brightest part of Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
The ant-like person raised his head stubbornly when facing the Great Red Spot.
A steady voice sounded slowly.
"No matter what the outcome, human courage and perseverance are engraved under the stars."
Buzz!
The short film went dark.
The four words "The Wandering Earth" were printed on the screen!
After watching this impression video.
That kind of shock from the heart, the sense of heroism of this magnificent and magnificent epic.
Promoting these media to reprint it one after another!
This propaganda.
Director Guo didn't spend a penny.
However, driven by such huge waves.
Still, it gradually spread throughout the entire Internet!
【What? China’s science fiction masterpiece? ! 】
【Good guy! You really dare to play! 】
[Uncle Da, Wu Jing, and Li Jinglin, the only thing I’m worried about is Director Guo, he seems to be a bad film director]
[It’s not a big problem. Should I say it or not, this theme song is great. 】
[Alas, I still don’t think you have too high hopes. 】
[But this is just an impression film and it’s so shocking. I think I hope I can embrace it a little more this time! 】
Netizens are commenting more and more.
The heat is not rising quickly.
To be able to achieve such a publicity trend without spending money on publicity is really like "picking up the big prize halfway".
Watch this trend gradually develop.
Director Guo hehe clapped his hands.
"Hey! I knew it! Brother Lin can definitely do it!"
present.
Then he opened the book with a smile.
I plan to give you a little shock of the early preparations for "The Wandering Earth"!
On top of the meager amount, Director Guo sent me various concept drawings, design drawings, and storyboards!
Especially the various detailed designs of planetary engines and dungeons.
It gave netizens reassurance.
Many netizens couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Good guy, this.
It seems to be playing for real!
It seems like they really want to make an explosive science fiction movie? !
Although there are still many unfavorable voices, Director Guo is not worried.
As long as there is enough attention, Director Guo will have absolute confidence in the film's reputation after it is actually broadcast.
ps, the one chosen here is "Theme Music of the Wandering Earth", while the other one with the same melody but different application scenes and textures is "Farewell Under the Starry Sky".
