Later, Yin Lian revised the script and sent it to four actors...or collaborators according to the instructor. Afterwards, the four of them each sent Yin Lian a short biography, which was extremely professional and detailed. If it weren't for knowing the industry culture of Xia Country, Yin Lian would have felt that what she was going to make was not a 20-minute public welfare short film, but It is a true commercial blockbuster, or at least an art film aimed at winning awards.
In fact, she was just filming a very casual student internship, and she was competing for awards, which were mostly entertainment-based variety show awards.
But anyway, the shooting started the next day.
Because of the previous shooting discussion meeting, everyone was very clear about their positioning and knew the effect of the performance. In addition, Yin Lian's requirements for acting skills are not high at all - you know, she is not even the unprofessional one like Mathil. The new actors and actresses have endured it and endured it for several months. Naturally, they have no objections to Xia Guo, a group of overly professional technicians.
There were mistakes during the filming process. However, Yin Lian had practiced a lot before, plus she had practical experience with Earth and Mathil, so even if there were some things that were not smooth, she could quickly adjust them, so although the filming process was a bit bumpy There were some bumps and bruises here and there, but overall it went very smoothly.
After the filming was completed, everyone went back to their homes. The actors all added Yin Lian's communication method and were full of expectations for the result. It actually gave Yin Lian a little idea of "the result should be pretty good" and added a little more confidence. Then there is the post-production editing, which Yin Lian is more familiar with than the shooting itself. After all, he has always used this skill in his daily homework.
The various background templates and virtual props ordered during editing had just arrived. Yin Lian used them to replace the original temporary props, which took a little time. Fortunately, the ordered scenery for the second part also arrived, and the set for the third part arrived. It's under production and will hopefully be sent before filming starts, so at least I won't have to waste this time in the future.
When she finished it, she just met the five-day deadline she had set for herself. In fact, she exceeded it by a bit. With a conceited character like Yin Lian, facing this kind of first time, it is inevitable that she will be a little worried about gains and losses. After registering and uploading the first version of her work, she showed it to her instructor.
The instructor spoke highly of the short film and praised her very much. He only suggested a few details and some shortcomings in her own skills. Yin Lian improved it based on the other party's opinions, and secretly thought about the improvement plan for next time.
As for what the teacher said about her mature style of work, it didn't look like something a little girl could create, so Yin Lian just smiled and acted cute to fool it away. Although she has indeed lived mentally for many years, she feels that her current mental age is definitely no more than twenty.
Being pampered never makes you grow up. Not only was Yin Lian not ashamed of this, but she felt secretly proud and sweet.
The new life is really smooth. Even if it is inevitable to encounter some annoying or unpleasant things due to various reasons, they are just ordinary worries and unpleasantness, and basically they will not really hurt Yin Lian.
But having said that, she had always had an overly optimistic temperament, otherwise it would have been difficult for her to get through it in her previous life and still be able to enjoy the hardships.
The optimistic Yin Lian accepted all the teacher's compliments, pretended to be shy and said a few words of humility, and then started to work on the rest.
For the second romantic comedy, Yin Lian chose a more "modern" theme. When she first came to Xia Kingdom, she read a lot of local works. In addition, there are often various famous works as reference in class now. Yin Lian does not say that he has completely grasped the current trend style, but he also has an idea.
In the Xia Kingdom, because the Xia Kingdom people can actually carry out interstellar travel - although it is not to the extent of immigrating to the interstellar world, they can at least survive and establish bases on some nearby planets. It seems that no other comparable humanoid civilization has been discovered yet, but this has not hindered the popularity of Xia Kingdom's interstellar literary and entertainment works, and their forms are diverse.
If Yin Lian purely competed with other contestants on their literary skills, she felt that she would not be able to win. After all, her accumulation was limited. What she can use is her own knowledge, imagination and some creativity that has not yet appeared in this world.
In interstellar themes, insert memes that have the potential to become popular themes. This is Yin Lian's idea. Xia Kingdom's entertainment projects have developed well. Generally speaking, Xia Kingdom has similar things that are currently popular on Earth, but there are also very few themes. , are different between the two worlds. Making good use of this aspect will greatly help Yin Lian achieve her goals.
The title of the romantic comedy was finally decided as "The Farthest Distance in the World", and the content is roughly like this - a pair of childhood sweethearts made an appointment to take the interstellar infrastructure engineer exam together, and then went to work at Xinxing, but the girl passed the exam and the boy failed. superior. The boy reluctantly sent the girl to the space station, promising that he would be admitted to the Rising Star Infrastructure Engineer class in the coming year. At the space station, they met a brother and sister. The brother was an officer in Xinxing. The sister also applied to be a medical officer but did not apply because her grades were not good enough. Perhaps because of the similar situation, the two parties hit it off immediately and started chatting immediately.
Xinxing is quite far away from her mother, and the delay of a normal Internet call can reach more than ten minutes. It can be said to be a real long-distance love. But even so, the heroine is full of confidence in the future, because she believes that her boyfriend will definitely come to Xinxing. But in fact, one month after coming to Xinxing, she received a breakup notice from her boyfriend - he said: I fell in love with the girl I met at the airport.
This sudden turn of events was simply unexpected.
The actors were a little confused when they read the script.
Before receiving the news, the heroine and her new colleague got along happily. After receiving the news, she was very angry and went to question her love rival's brother. Yin Lian's description of the plot of the girl suddenly falling out is very interesting and impactful, while the reaction of the officer's brother is in stark contrast to hers.
This section requires expressiveness. The actor tried several times but failed to capture the characteristics of the character. Yin Lian explained it to him: "You were a little too arrogant just now. You are playing an interstellar character." Discovery Officer, the character itself shouldn’t be too arrogant.”
After hearing this, the actor called out the script and read the lines again, and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't these lines be a little too wild?"
Yin Lian looked at it and said, "...the lines do seem a bit arrogant, but this is actually a misunderstanding." She thought for a moment and said, "Let's think about it this way. In fact, he said these words At that time, what I carried was not the idea that I can do whatever I want, but the mentality of giving up on myself.”
The actor was stunned for a moment and thought thoughtfully: "Are you giving up on yourself..."
He tried to change his tone and read the lines: "There is no point in complaining about this now. Let's put it this way, Miss Wei, you can talk about the compensation you want. As long as I can do it, I will help you do it."
When he read this line before, his tone could be said to be quite arrogant and arrogant. At this time, his tone changed to a look of embarrassment and headache, and it suddenly became less offensive.
As a result, the actor who acted opposite expressed his objection: "If you act like this, the reaction of my heroine will be very abnormal. If you hit someone after such a line, it will definitely appear unreasonable."
Yin Lian agreed with her opinion and said: "Yes, so you can't act like this. Mix up the two tones you used before, and show the kind of 'embarrassment' that the audience can see, but the heroine herself cannot understand, just That’s basically it.”
The male lead thought for a while and tried to read the lines several times, but the effect was not very good, mainly because it was difficult to grasp the proportion.
Yin Lian stared at him for a while, and then suddenly said: "You can think of it this way. You have been outstanding since you were a child, and you are the kind of child from other people's families. Later, you became a god-like figure. It is inevitable that you carry some idol baggage. This thing You don't feel that you are wrong, but you realize that your family's fault is still related to you. In terms of sense of responsibility, you feel that you have an obligation to make up for the other person... So your emotions at this time are very complicated. On the one hand You are proud of yourself, but feel guilty on the one hand. On the one hand, you feel that you have no reason to be humble about this matter, and on the other hand, you feel that it is natural for the other party to get angry at you. This complex mentality can be adjusted according to your own needs. Convert.”
The actor thought for a moment and said, "I kind of understand it. But I need some time to sort out the character's emotional changes."
Yin Lian nodded and said, "Okay. I'll deal with other scenes first."
When you actually shoot, you will find that shooting a video is much more difficult than you imagined. Just like when painting, the artist will find that what he draws is different from what he expected. Because the idea in the mind is often just a vague impression, but once it is implemented on paper, the concreteness of various details will change the entire impression.
For example, is the so-called true performance really a true performance? As a real actor, no matter how close your personality is to the role, you may not necessarily make the same reaction and choice. In fact, even the character himself may not always react the same way in the same situation. What about the character himself, let alone the actor?
But the movie is a very definite world, and all its developments are arranged by the screenwriter from the beginning.
So how to use various techniques so that it can still express the original intention in the end is where the creator needs to give full play to his abilities.
During this process, Yin Lian also discovered various difficulties, and then relied on his EQ and IQ to solve them one by one. For example, how to guide the actors' emotions so that they fit the characters [and] the purpose of the plot, for example, how to grasp the rhythm of the story so that it is both thought-provoking and smooth... She dare not say that she solved it very well. Perfect, but at least I feel it's above average. This is also thanks to Xia Guo's advanced technology. The more she comes into contact with these technologies, the more she understands that many times in China, the filming of movies and TV series is full of various "make-dos."
Make do with the weather, make do with the actors, make do with the season, make do with the props.
In comparison, Xia Kingdom is simply a paradise for the entertainment industry. The creators here can use the best skin and the best acting skills to tell the most exciting story. Although the cost is not necessarily low, the price/performance ratio is unimaginably high.
Theoretically, in Xia Kingdom, as long as you have enough capital, you can even create a film and television world that is like the real universe.
In fact, in Yin Lian's second work, he actually designed the scenes of two planets, and even the universe scene. This is not a domestic online game level set. The entire film set is very complete and even has various astronomical and physical rules. She bought it second-hand and refurbished it—the same kind of set that had been used before, adjusted and updated it according to her requirements, and then it was ready for use.
Among them, the copyright fee cost 280 yuan, and the renovation cost cost 1,500 yuan. In terms of the quality of the scenery, Miss Yin, an inexperienced country girl, thought it was incredibly cheap.
After the last scene was filmed and before Yin Lian started editing, everyone looked at the original footage and were all shocked. The heroine said: "I really want to suddenly know... what is the difference between truly good works and the amateur videos we usually shoot."
Yin Lian raised her eyebrows.
The female lead said: "Miss Yin, please be rich and honorable, so don't forget each other."
Yin Lian laughed.
