Chapter 171 They are practicing a very new art (please vote for me!)
"Invisible Guardian" is actually an interactive video game that Li Youzhi has played before.
This game is completely shot in real-life situations, and has dubbing throughout.
It's not so much a game as it is a movie where you can control the protagonist to make event choices to unlock different plots and endings.
An interactive movie with multiple endings composed of PPT photos.
The story of "Guardian" is adapted from the experience of Yuan Shu, the legendary underground worker of our party.
It tells the story of a patriotic student named Xiao Tu who was arrested and imprisoned for taking to the streets to call for resistance against Japan during the turbulent era of war. After his release, his actual identity was an underground party teacher who arranged to study in Japan. In his image as a patriotic student, This is a story about a man who returned to his country after being forgotten by the people, and under the arrangement of the organization, he infiltrated the enemy and mediated in the unpredictable intelligence battlefield.
When he first played this game, Li Youzhi liked the plot very much.
I have replayed the entire ending more than a dozen times, so I am very impressed.
When he saw the outrageous suggestions from the fun people in the live broadcast room just now, Li Youzhi actually thought of this game, but he didn't dare to have any ideas-until Lai Pengbo's call.
Why don't you dare to have ideas?
Because the total production cost of this game was more than 10 million, and the filming part alone cost more than 6 million!
Scenes, costumes, actors, dubbing, post-production... these are all expensive things.
But Lai Pengbo couldn't resist the pressure and called. Li Youzhi suddenly felt that a PPT-style work like "Guardian" could be produced.
The first is that the shooting cost of this kind of work, which is mainly static images, is low.
The shooting can basically be done with just one camera. It is not difficult for Zhi Ge who has professional photography skills and is proficient in PS skills.
Editing, dubbing, Brother Zhi is also at hand!
As for the actors, the leading role can be played by oneself, and the supporting roles can be chosen from Heguang Tongchen.
As for the middle-aged and elderly characters in the show... we could have teachers from the school make guest appearances, or they could be part of the cast of "Secret"!
The cost of costumes for this kind of drama is also high. During the filming of "Invisible Guardian", more than 2 million yuan was invested in the costumes - fortunately, the crew of "Secret" can also be used!
But compared to actors and costumes, shooting scenes is the most expensive part.
If you really want to shoot independently, renting a studio is quite troublesome - after all, it's just shooting and taking photos, and a scene doesn't take long.
Renting one day can cost thousands or even tens of thousands, but in fact it only takes a few hours to shoot all the material in the scene, so it’s not a mistake.
Thank God...you can now join the cast of "Secret"!
You know, the wealthy crew of "Secret" booked the Republic of China Street Scenic Area for a whole month!
While writing the script and thinking about the shooting plan, Zhi Ge's mouth twitched.
He kind of likes this idiot Lai Pengbo.
(`)Thank you for the gift of nature!
In one night, Li Youzhi finished the script of "Guardian".
The next day, Li Youzhi got up early and made two announcements in the Heguang Tongchen group before his classmates from Tongchen Club set off for the set.
Article 1: The extras who are going to the set today only need to do their job well and don’t care about anything else!
Article 2: Heguang Tongchen’s first film and television production after its establishment has begun preparations, and we are sincerely recruiting crew members!
As the second announcement was released, the Heguang Tongchen group early in the morning... exploded!
…
While Li Youzhi was strategizing and working on the crew.
Chengdu, a breakfast shop next to Haitian Hotel.
Liu Yun returned to the dining table with a basket of beef buns, and handed the disposable chopsticks to Tu Zheng, who was sitting opposite.
"Brother Zheng, why are you still in Chengdu and not leaving? You've been here for more than half a month."
Tu Zheng broke open the disposable chopsticks, dipped the thick-skinned buns in some vinegar, and stuffed them into his mouth.
"How can I leave? It's not like you don't know the situation of our family. Ever since your sister-in-law and I divorced, Susu has been very close to the two of us. She has been living on campus since junior high school and has been living there for so many years. She didn’t get close to us. As a father, I am also a bastard. I was busy with business in the past few years, and I didn’t have much time to accompany her when she went home for two months during the holidays. Who would have thought that time flies so fast, in such a blink of an eye... …”
After chewing for a few times, Tu Zheng swallowed the bun in his mouth and held it up to his knees with his chopsticks.
"I just remember her growing from this tall... to this tall..."
The chopsticks rose from his knees to his shoulders, and then to his eyebrows.
"I have grown so tall again... This time when I came to Chengdu, I found that apart from these memories, I paid too little attention to my daughter. Lao Liuqian, you can't understand that if you don't have a daughter, this girl will leave her once she falls in love with him. There are not many days left to completely leave the family. As a father, I feel a special sense of urgency."
Seeing Tu Zheng's eyes turning red as he spoke, Liu Yun quickly waved his hand.
"Brother Zheng, I think you are thinking too much. I have been asking people to help me keep an eye on that kid for a while! This kid doesn't seem to be in a relationship..."
Hearing what Liu Yun said, Tu Zheng blinked his red eyes and slapped his chopsticks on the table.
"What has this kid been doing these two days?"
"Hey, this kid is taking care of Lai Pengbo!"
"No, doesn't he play the third male lead in the crew, and then be responsible for the costumes and extras? Every aspect of this is the director's responsibility. Why is he in turn regulating the director?"
Liu Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly. Seeing the confusion on Tu Zheng's face, he told the crew exactly what happened.
Many of the current production team for "Secret" have filmed with Liu Yun.
Last night, someone had already brought Lai Pengbo's complaint to Liu Yun.
Who is Liu Yun?
As a veteran driver in the industry, I understood what was going on as soon as I heard it.
"This boy has a bad temper! Lao Liu, keep an eye on him. He should be busy on the set and stay away from our Su Su. Such a person is definitely not a good man. With such a bad temper, who's daughter will be like this?" How much punishment will you suffer if you follow him!"
"Haha... Speaking of donkeys, Brother Zheng, you have such a bad temper... ha... Emu."
Staring at Liu Yun who went from laughing to dry laughing and finally not daring to laugh anymore, Tu Zheng, a senior bachelor who had been divorced for fifteen years, rolled his eyelids.
Otherwise, why do you think I understand so well?
Jingle Bell……
Just when Liu Yun felt embarrassed, a sudden phone call saved him.
Seeing that the call was actually from Li Youzhi, he winked at Tu Zheng and picked up the call.
"Hello? Xiaozhi, call me this early in the morning. Is there something wrong?"
I thought that Li Youzhi's call was to complain to him about yesterday's incident on the set, but Liu Yun deliberately lowered his tone.
However, it turns out... his guess was wrong.
"Director Liu, it's like this. I want to talk to you about Yuan Shu. I'm currently writing a spy-themed script, and I have some questions that I can't figure out. The prototype of your previous protagonist in "Kite" was Mr. Yuan Shu. So if you have time, I would like to ask you for advice.”
Hearing this, Liu Yun's serious eyes suddenly rose.
Boy, know your stuff!
The script of "Kite" was written by me personally. Who can understand Yuan Shu, a legendary underground party, better than I, Liu Yun!
With a look at Tu Zheng, Liu Yun took the phone and walked outside.
After chatting with the other person on the phone for half an hour, Tu Zheng returned to the bun shop with a happy face after he had cleaned up the basket of buns.
"What did this kid do again?"
"Hey, he said he wants to make a short spy drama and discuss the script with me."
"Oh, since when did you, Director Liu, become so worthless?"
"Oh, a student, he made a short play, just a few sentences. He actually said that when the script is finished, he will give me a special thank you... For a student's work, I will give him a special thank you? Let's eat, eat, eat. "
After waving his hand to Tu Zheng, Liu Yun picked up the chopsticks.
…
In one day, Li Youzhi completed the construction of the crew of "The Invisible Guardian".
There is not much to say about the filming, just the students who have been working as apprentices on the "Secret" crew these past few days.
In terms of actors... Li Youzhi still mainly performs the cast of Tongchenshe.
In the evening, watching the rows of "received" responses from students such as Tu Susu, Guan Jiaojiao, Xu Xueli and others in the Tongchen Club performance group, Li Youzhi turned off his phone with satisfaction.
The next day, at half past seven in the morning.
Li Youzhi took the bus to the Republic of China Street Scenic Area with the entire crew of "The Guardian" that he had just gathered.
Yesterday, the group of free helpers from the Agricultural University did not come, but they made the crew of the crew very busy.
Seeing these familiar faces appearing on the set again, several production team leaders asked for help.
Amidst the warm words, Li Youzhi humbly organized the students to disperse into various groups and resumed the normal shooting rhythm.
With the return of the students, the morning's play went on quite quickly.
By around ten o'clock, the three scenes in the morning were filmed.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Lai Pengbo, who had a lot of beans on his face, announced that he would take a break and prepare for dinner.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Youzhi quickly changed costumes with a few actors who had been ordered, came to an interior room on Minguo Street, and set up a camera.
A group of students created such a huge formation that they attracted all the actors and crew members who were resting nearby.
"Xiao Zhi, what are you doing?"
Seeing Li Youzhi standing in front of the gate with a camera, Xu Nian from the set team was full of curiosity.
"Make a short film!"
Turning around and looking at the group of brothers and sisters on the crew, Li Youzhi grinned, showing two rows of white teeth.
Turning his head, he waved his hand at Tu Susu, who was wearing a cheongsam and looked sleepy because he got up too early.
"The first scene of "Invisible Guardian", the second scene, once! Actor Fang Min, pay attention! Listen to my command, her expression...surprise!"
Following Li Youzhi's shout, Tu Susu, the toolman who was forced to the set, held his heart lazily with both hands, and then... he opened his eyes wide, raised his eyebrows, and opened his mouth slightly, making a gesture of surprise.
"Okay, pass! Get ready for the next one!"
"..."
Watching Li Youzhi click the shutter, the scene was over, and all the crew members on the scene were stunned.
Fan Bing from the props team looked at the special type teacher on the side, and the special type teacher looked at the lighting team leader on the side.
After their eyes met for a while, everyone took a breath.
They were determined.
These college students are doing something very new!
PS: My schedule has been so chaotic lately that I feel like the update time is so unstable that I go crazy. So today I decided to stabilize the update time. The initial setting is as follows: Chapter 1 at 12:30, Chapter 2 at 5:30, Chapter 3 at 10:30. Then I made some archives and tried to stabilize the update at around 6 pm every day in the next week, and publish three chapters in a row to form a fixed schedule. This way readers don’t have to wait so hard for updates every day! Idiots don’t have to be so anxious and anxious every day. They can polish the plot and the quality of the text. Then it’s the end of the month, please vote for me!
