Chapter 746 "The Prequel of the Chinese Paladin" is Completed
The second episode of "Five Elements in the Mist Mountain" continued the strong momentum of the premiere.
After the two episodes were broadcast, the entire anime has accumulated more than 80 million views, once again setting a record.
Regarding this result, Penguin Video almost burst into laughter.
In fact, there was a lot of controversy within Penguin Video because of the decision not to advertise this work.
A large number of people believe that because of Ye Zhiqiu's fame, the cost of purchasing and broadcasting this animation is extremely high. If there is no income from advertising, it will almost be a loss-making project.
In the end, the person in charge of Penguin Video made the decision after careful consideration.
--purchase!
Nowadays, the competition among major video websites is becoming increasingly fierce. Although Penguin Video is backed by a big tree, it is also facing great pressure. The first thing to consider is how to maintain its existing market share.
Therefore, you have to buy it just for the reputation of this top-notch person. If you lose money, just treat the money as being used for publicity.
As a result, "Five Elements of Wushan" gave Penguin Video a big surprise.
Although this drama has no advertising revenue, it can drive an increase in the number of video members!
Backend data shows that the number of new video network members who entered through the "Five Elements in Wushan" link has exceeded 500,000! Moreover, this number is still increasing...
As mentioned before, this work is free and can be watched by anyone with or without VIP. In other words... the only reason to become a member is to watch the Blu-ray with high resolution!
No one expected that because the ink painting style of "Five Elements in the Mist Mountain" is so outstanding, it would lead to a group of "wallpaper party".
Nowadays, Penguin Video has long forgotten the last concerns in their hearts, and now they are concerned about another very serious issue.
The audience doesn't know, but they know very well that this anime... has only 3 episodes!
In other words, it will be finished with one more episode next Sunday. How can this be done?
Penguin Video "urged" Huang Shiguang to release subsequent episodes more than once, and even said that the price was negotiable, but Huang Shiguang was not sure, leaving Penguin Video anxious and helpless.
...
On the other side, time has entered May, and the filming of "Sword and Sword Prequel" has also come to an end.
After nearly three months of filming, the cast and crew did not feel tired. Instead, they felt more and more addicted as they performed. In the later stages, the filming progress could be described as "smooth and smooth".
All the young actors in the crew, including Ye Zhiqiu, Yu Caiwei, etc., all feel that they have benefited a lot.
What particularly pleased Ye Zhiqiu was the fact that Long Yuqing's acting skills improved at an astonishing rate in this drama, and it was almost visibly getting better every day.
Veteran actors who are familiar with this industry will know that this little girl Long Yuqing's acting skills were "fed".
Strictly speaking, although Long Yuqing came from a major, her acting skills can only be considered average, but her resources are undoubtedly unparalleled.
As soon as she debuted, she starred in two hit dramas in a row. She was either the first or second female lead. No matter how stupid she is, she should have some sense.
This is also the most curious thing in everyone's mind, why Ye Zhiqiu chose Long Yuqing to focus on training.
If they hadn't seen Long Yu calling "Sister Weiwei" every day in the crew, and it seemed that she really had no other relationship with Ye Zhiqiu, it would be hard for many people not to doubt...
The last scene before filming of "The Prequel of Sword" was completed was an outdoor scene.
Xu Changqing and Zixuan met in front of Wangqing Lake, and they agreed to drink Wangqing water.
However, here the crew encountered the most difficult challenge since filming began.
"Stuck!" He shouted this sentence for the eighth time, and the director looked helpless.
"Um... Weiwei." The director's voice was also a little helpless, and he said earnestly again: "The expression is too much. Don't shed so fierce tears when you drink the water of forgetfulness. You can wait until you turn around and shed them again...
"
"Here, Zixuan wants to show a feeling of sadness and reluctance, but has to drink the water of forgetfulness. It should give people a heavy and depressing feeling."
"Try to control your emotions a little and don't explode so quickly..."
The director also felt strange. Although Yu Caiwei had performed very well in the previous scenes, why did she fall apart in the last scene?
By the lake, Yu Caiwei, who had just wiped away her tears with reddish eyes, nodded silently.
Even though they were filming, looking at Yu Caiwei who was crying in front of her, Ye Zhiqiu felt extremely distressed and asked loudly: "Director, can you take a break first?"
The director thought for a while that this might be a good idea. Sometimes when an actor is not in the right state and can't perform no matter what, he might as well stop and change his mood.
When the two returned to the rest area, many actors who had just been standing aside immediately came forward to express their concern for Yu Caiwei. Ye Zhiqiu stepped forward to communicate with the director.
The director sighed and said, "If we keep going at this rate, we may not be able to make it in time if we finish filming today."
On the side, the assistant director also said helplessly: "Sometimes actors are not in good condition, and there's nothing we can do about it."
They didn't mean to blame Yu Caiwei, but the problem at hand was indeed a bit difficult.
Ye Zhiqiu was also a little confused. He also vaguely sensed that Yu Caiwei's mood was a little wrong, but he couldn't tell the specific reason.
"I don't think it's due to the state." At this time, a female voice came.
"Huh?" Several people were stunned and looked at an actress who came forward.
She is the "aunt" in the play. She is also an actress who has been acting for more than ten years and has extremely rich experience. She is very respected in the crew and everyone calls her "Sister Rong".
"Weiwei is actually in very good condition today, but she can't perform well." Sister Rong looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "It should be your fault."
"Me?" Ye Zhiqiu asked in confusion: "Sister Rong, what does this mean?"
Sister Rong did not answer directly, but rolled her eyes at Ye Zhiqiu and asked: "Do you know the three major factions of acting? Then do you know what method Weiwei uses for acting?"
Ye Zhiqiu replied: "I'm more of an experience person."
"That's right." Sister Rong nodded and said, "Experience style, to put it simply, is to experience the character's life a little bit, and when you play the role, you become that person."
"Weiwei and you were originally boyfriend and girlfriend. She has completely substituted herself into Zixuan's feelings for Changqing."
"In her eyes, you are Xu Changqing, and Xu Changqing is you. She is naturally unwilling to drink the love-forgetting water with you, and how can she control her emotions so easily."
Sister Rong's words made Ye Zhiqiu react suddenly as if he was enlightened.
So that’s it! No wonder I felt that the girl was looking at me strangely just now. It turned out that she was too deep into the drama!
While he couldn't laugh or cry, Ye Zhiqiu also felt a warmth in his heart, and once again felt Yu Caiwei's extremely passionate feelings for him.
However, if this is the case, it will be impossible to film according to the original script.
Experienced actors will control themselves and know how to combine "experience school" and "method school" performances, but it is obviously impossible for Yu Caiwei to reach this level at present.
So, the only way at the moment is.
——Change the script!
There is no need to make major changes. In the original play, when the two drank the love-forgetting water, Xu Changqing and Zixuan were in a sad and depressed state, and their emotions only exploded when their backs were turned to each other.
Now it is better to make the mistake and move the point of "emotional outburst" a little earlier. In fact, it makes perfect sense. On the contrary, it is more in line with Zixuan's character of "dare to love and dare to hate" in the plot.
However, the scene where the woman cried so much made the "calm" man somewhat cruel, but it once again confirmed Xu Changqing's "reason" and "restraint" in pursuing Taoism. Generally speaking, the logic is sound.
Ye Zhiqiu's proposal was approved by the director who had already planned it.
In this way, there is no need to reshoot the whole scene of drinking the love water, just reshoot a few angles, and it will be passed quickly and smoothly.
The last scene shows Xu Changqing dressed in white and dancing with a sword in the Shu Mountains. His figure and sword skills are both elegant.
In the bright sun and flying snow, Zixuan, a girl with white hair, held up the snowflakes in her hand...
"Okay! Card!"
Chapter completed!
