The scene where Shen Leg Zhang and Xiao Hu appeared was over, but Wang Xuan pursued one shot to the end, the continuity of the shot, and as few traces of editing as possible.
As for the plot of the appearance of Divine Leg Zhang, at least the vulture's horse was frightened, and the vulture became angry and killed the slave. Divine Leg Zhang went to check the slave's injury, and then started a duel with the vulture, which was a complete long shot.
But this shot is too long, and it places high demands on the photographer, especially the scene where the vulture and the god are dueling with their legs spread out. It requires switching back and forth between long shots and close shots, and the camera also needs to move with the characters...
This kind of lens is also called a sports long lens. It requires the photographer to carry the camera and use the camera's push, pull, pan, move, follow and other movement shooting methods to shoot multiple scenes and multiple angles. It is a changing long lens, which is very important for photography. The teacher's requirements are really very high, and even if you don't have several years of photography experience, you really can't handle it.
Of course, these shots were not shot with one camera, but from multiple camera positions, shot separately, and then edited and combined into one long shot.
Anyway, I filmed the scene where the magic leg Zhang appeared, the vulture was so angry that he fought the hard laborer, and the magic leg Zhang couldn't stand it and tried to seek justice for the hard laborer. The scene where he and the vulture started a duel, I don't know how many times it was NGed.
There are many reasons for NG. Sometimes the movements and expressions are not in place, sometimes the camera fails to keep up, or the shooting angle is not chosen well.
For this scene alone, the crew went back and forth for three days and reshot it no less than 30 times. A lot of film was wasted.
Film used for making movies is not cheap. Anyway, just to shoot this scene, I spent at least 30,000 yuan on film. But it doesn't matter, Wang Xuan is not afraid of spending money. In fact, his main purpose for this scene is to train the two assistant directors, the photographer's shooting skills, and the actors' control of the camera, acting skills, etc.
The effect is also significant.
Now, the photographer carries the camera and moves it without shaking the lens, and the position selection is very precise, and the shooting angles are very strange. Sometimes even Wang Xuan cannot think of some tricky angles.
There are also two assistant directors. Now Wang Xuan only needs to tell them what effect the plot needs to achieve. After the two discuss it, they will be able to get a set of plans that will allow Wang Xuan to understand it well. The meaning is to execute Wang Xuan's will.
The most surprising thing is Li Ze and Lei Yan. They were originally a blank slate in acting, but after dozens of repeated filming, with Wang Xuan explaining and demonstrating on the side, they have made amazing progress.
When the two of them are filming, they only need to glance at the position of the camera with their peripheral vision to know where to perform. Their expressions and body language can be recorded by the camera at the best angle.
It is worth mentioning that for the fight scene between Shen Leg Zhang and the Vulture, Wang Xuan did not use the original version, but made many improvements.
The fighting in the original version is a bit too rigid, the movements are rigid, and the speed is very slow. You just hit me with one move, I will parry it first, then I will hit you with another move, and then it is your turn to parry...
The speed is so slow that my eyes can keep up.
This kind of fighting method was not a problem in the 1980s, but now it is outdated and seems very boring. Therefore, the fighting scenes in Wang Xuan's improved version require fast, accurate, and precise movements, coherent movements, and one-stop movement. They are full of speed, explosive power, and strength, and can make people's blood rush.
Of course, this kind of fighting is actually very easy to get injured. Fortunately, we are not in the 1980s or 1990s. There were no protective gears at that time. Now actors can wear protective gears to protect some parts that are more likely to be injured. .
However, some skin injuries are inevitable.
Fortunately, both Yu Jing and Lei Yan are martial arts practitioners, so a little skin injury is a common occurrence for them.
It was originally agreed that Yu Jing's scenes would be filmed for a maximum of 2 days, but now it took three full days to film, and only half of them were filmed. Regarding this, after Wang Xuan increased Yu Jing's remuneration to 50,000, Yu Jing did not What a complaint.
What's a bit funny is that because Lei Yan's martial arts skills are much higher than Yu Jing's, in the play he has to act like he can't beat Yu Jing and is beaten by Yu Jing. This is hard to do for Lei Yan.
When the two were dueling, they often fought each other. Lei Yan couldn't control himself and killed Yu Jing. The reason why this scene was filmed more than 30 times is generally attributed to Lei Yan.
However, precisely because of this, Yu Jing was completely convinced by Lei Yan.
When Wang Xuan first asked Lei Yan to help design the two's martial arts moves, Yu Jing was still very resistant, saying that he wanted to express himself freely. Wang Xuan agreed, and the two began to show off freely. The result was a very average shot. Wang Xuan asked Lei Yan why, and Lei Yan said that Yu Jing's method was not good, it was like a street fight, and he didn't know how to cooperate.
Wang Xuan saw that Yu Jing's moves were a bit like Sanda, and the pictures produced by these moves were indeed average. Wang Xuan told Lei Yan not to give in to Yu Jing, but to defeat Yu Jing first.
Lei Yan had already figured out Yu Jing's path and easily crushed Yu Jing.
The two fought several times, and Lei Yan crushed Yu Jing several times. Yu Jing was finally defeated and found that Lei Yan's skill was too high for him, so he obeyed Lei Yan's words. The two of them cooperated and finally presented everyone with a blood-soaked duel.
Anyway, when we finished filming this scene, the whole scene was applauding.
Wang Xuan asked the crew to rest for half an hour before filming the next scene.
The next scene was shot of Wang Renze, played by Xue Kai. After discovering that the vulture could not beat the divine leg Zhang, he started a duel with the divine leg Zhang. After that, he crushed the divine leg Zhang and choked him. When he saw the divine leg Zhang, he was about to kill him. He was strangled to death by Wang Renze.
The little tiger played by Li Ze couldn't help but stepped forward to save Shen Leg Zhang, but was also crushed by Wang Renze. At the critical moment, Shen Leg Zhang hugged Wang Renze's thigh, and the little tiger jumped into the river and escaped with the help of the current. Shen Leg Zhang But was brutally killed by Wang Renze.
In the original version, this scene, the showdown between Wang Renze and Shen Leg Zhang, was quite unfair. Because Wang Renze always beat Shenji Zhang who was handcuffed and legcuffed, he couldn't win without force, and it didn't show Wang Renze's power at all.
Wang Xuan feels that as the main villain in the film "Shaolin Temple", Wang Renze's image should not be like this. He should be cruel, arrogant and even powerful.
So Wang Xuan decided to change the play.
For example, at the beginning of the original version, when Wang Renze saw that the vulture was defeated by the divine leg Zhang, he saw the officers and soldiers trying to rush up and subdue the divine leg Zhang, but Wang Ren actually ordered his subordinates to stand down.
Then he sneered and said: "You are known as the magic leg in the world. Today I will turn you into a lame person." After saying that, he jumped down to duel with the magic leg Zhang.
Wang Xuan wants to change this paragraph. Of course, the change is not too big. He just needs to add a line after "Today I will turn you into a lame", "Go and open the leg shackles and handcuffs." , lest others say I am invincible."
Then officers and soldiers would come forward and open the handcuffs and leg cuffs of Shen Leg Zhang. Wang Ren would then have a fair duel with Shen Leg Zhang, and then easily crush Shen Leg Zhang in the fair duel.
With this change, compared with the original version, Wang Renze's image suddenly became clearer, cruel, powerful, arrogant and arrogant. Wang Xuan feels that such an image is worthy of Wang Renze's title as the biggest villain in the "Shaolin Temple" movie.
Similarly, in the fight scenes between Wang Renze and Shen Shen, Wang Xuan pursued speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. In other words, in the entire "Shaolin Temple" filmed by Wang Xuan, the martial arts movements pursued fast, accurate, ruthless, and violent aesthetics.
The effect is also significant. Anyway, Wang Xuan was very satisfied with the modified clip.
Due to the experience gained from previous training, the time for this scene was shortened a lot, and it was filmed in only two days. Of course, if you include the setting time and rehearsal time, the two scenes on the edge of the Yellow River alone took ten days.
No wonder it often takes several months to make a movie.
After filming the scene on the edge of the Yellow River, the team moved to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain, where it was officially time for Xiaohu to join the Shaolin Temple and learn martial arts under his master.
...
On the 20th, while Wang Xuan was filming "Shaolin Temple", the "Fairy Tale" album continued to ferment. In the past 20 days, the physical album of "Fairy Tale" has sold 10 million copies, which is exactly 10 million copies.
Among them, 6.5 million DVDs and 3.5 million CDs were sold. The proportion of DVDs and CDs is getting bigger and bigger, and I don’t know how many people are envious of them.
The digital album originally did not have a MV, but after many fans reported it, Tianhai thought about it and added the MV to the "Fairy Tale" digital album. This also further stimulated the sales of digital albums.
In the past 20 days, the sales volume of the "Fairy Tale" digital album has actually reached an astonishing 35 million copies. While it broke the record, it also caught the attention of countless people.
This is an album, not a single!
The sales of the single exceeded 35 million downloads in 20 days, which is considered a very good result. Not to mention the album.
The "Fairy Tale" digital album costs 18 yuan a piece. Originally, the platform had to take 30% of the revenue. However, before it was launched, Tianhai negotiated with major platforms and only gave the platform 5 yuan for the sale of a digital album. This is equivalent to Tianhai still having 13 yuan left.
Tianhai can receive 13 yuan for each of 35 million photos, and the publicity cost is almost zero, which is equivalent to almost all of these 13 yuan being net profit, with the total revenue reaching more than 450 million yuan...
This is a money grab!
As for the revenue from physical albums, DVDs are priced at RMB 88, and Tianhai’s fixed price for all major online and offline channels is RMB 75. After deducting some material costs, the net profit is around RMB 60.
"Reincarnation Paradise"
The CD price is 68 yuan, and Tianhai’s fixed price for all major online and offline channels is 58 yuan. After deducting some material costs, the net profit is around 50 yuan.
6.5 million DVDs and 3.5 million CDs were sold, which is equivalent to the net income of the physical album of "Fairy Tale", up to 560 million...
The revenue from physical albums plus digital albums is as high as 1 billion!
!
Oh my god!
What is this concept?
You know, this 1 billion is only 20 days of income!
How many in a month? How many will there be in one year? This is unimaginable!
Regarding the proceeds from the "Fairy Tale" album, Zhu Xu and others originally wanted to give all of it to Wang Xuan, because they felt that Tianhai had not contributed anything to this album. But Wang Xuan said to follow the rules.
Although he is the boss of Tianhai, he is also the composer of Tianhai's composition department. Artists in the artist department only need to give him his part of the income from composing music and being a singer, and the remaining income belongs to the company.
This is a matter of principle and the rules cannot be broken.
Zhu Xu and others were still hesitant, but Wang Xuan said they were a little stupid. Even if the proceeds are given to the company according to normal procedures, most of the company's shares are still in his hands, and in the end most of the proceeds are still his.
Only then did Zhu Xu and others be convinced.
It is worth mentioning that the download volume of the "Fairy Tale" single has reached 85 million on the 20th. At this time, there are still about 3 million downloads per day. According to this trend, by the end of the month, the single download volume of "Heart Is Too Soft" will be exceeded. Recording downloads of the song is no problem.
There's nothing I can do about it, the MV for "Fairy Tale" is so awesome, it's a tearjerker. After Tianhai synced the MV to the back of the "Fairy Tale" single, the download volume was very strong.
Thanks to the popularity of the "Fairy Tale" album and the "Fairy Tale" single, Wang Xuan's popularity has soared by 1.5 million during this period, and the total popularity has reached nearly 35 million. The seven top bosses were so frightened that they shouted "Wolf!" ".
Among the seven superstars, the two who were originally at the bottom of the popularity list were somewhat Buddhist. However, stimulated by Wang Xuan's sudden rise in popularity, they started to appear one after another in mid-September, taking on dramas after dramas and giving concerts.
Having said that, on the 18th, the first physical book of "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" was finally released on all major online and offline platforms.
Different from the time when the physical book of "Dragon and the Eight Parts" was first released, Luo Qiu now has a very good reputation in the physical world.
There is no way, the sales of "Dragon Movie" are so fierce, the sales volume of the whole set is as high as 25 million. Excluding the sales of "Huaguo Dictionary", the physical book sales of "Dragon Babu" have broken the sales record of physical books.
Luo Qiu is now a real boss in the physical world. When the physical book is online, other physical writers avoid him.
For example, when "The Legend of the Heroes of She Wither" is launched this time, no physical book author dares to collide with "The Legend of She Wither". It also signaled that they had not collided with "She Wither", otherwise they would not even know how to die.
The physical book of "She Withered" was launched online. In the first half hour, the sales volume of all major channels combined exceeded 300,000, 500,000 in one hour, 1 million in one day, and 3 million in one week.
The first 2 million copies printed by Huaguo Book Company were sold out, and an additional 2 million copies were printed.
However, after a week, the sales volume of "She Withered" was almost saturated, with only 20,000 to 30,000 copies sold a day.
But it’s okay, 20,000 to 30,000 copies is still 20,000 to 30,000 copies. By the end of this year, it shouldn’t be a problem for the sales volume of the first physical book of “She Withered” to reach 5 million copies. It’s enough for Huaguo Book Company to make a lot of money.
On the 22nd, Wang Xuan received a call from Li Tao: "Brother Xuan, Xiaoxiao has been joining our Tianhai for a month. I think her popularity has not increased much before, but it is a bit unstable. Do you want to give her a chance?" Song, let her hit the new song chart next month?"
"Okay. After I finish work, I will write the songs here in the evening and send them to Teacher Gu's email, and let Teacher Gu help Xiaoxiao record the songs. Not only Xiaoxiao's songs, I will also record Ziqing's songs. Send the song to Teacher Gu and ask him to help record it. Let Xiaoxiao and Zi Qing work together to hit the new song list next month."
