Chapter 522 522.

Li Dawei laughed loudly, mocking the reporters who were looking for trouble. In fact, there were quite a few reporters watching TV at this moment, ready to find fault with this TV series.

"Speaking of special effects, "Your Name" can actually be put in China. Now this is another TV series. Let's talk about special effects again. Will the audience buy it?" In a rental house in Beidu, two reporters from Light and Shadow Entertainment Weekly were watching a TV series, and the TV series was naturally "My Love from the Star" which was just released today.

Xiao Wang was unhappy when he heard his colleague Xiao Liu's somewhat discouraged words.

"What do you know? Nie Wei is so famous, and the audience's requirements for him are also higher than the level line. If a work that is 80 points for other screenwriters is written by Nie Wei, then the audience will give it at most 60 points. Do you think that his golden signboard in the past two years is so dazzling that there is really no harm except for the benefits?"

Xiao Wang's words made Xiao Liu nod his head repeatedly. This is true.

Nie Wei's name is indeed loud enough, just like the movie "Your Name". There was only one trailer released before, and the actual plot was vague, but what about the people who watched the premiere? The cinema was packed with people in the early morning.

Why do people go to the cinema to watch movies so late? Isn't it for your name, Nie Wei?

However, these are also the reputation accumulated by good reputation. Under such good reputation, the audience's requirements for Nie Wei are naturally getting higher and higher. For example, the special effects level in "Your Name" is actually first-class in China. In other movies, if the special effects can reach this level, it is not only derogatory, but also praises it. But in Nie Wei's movie, this has become the biggest shortcoming of his movie.

Because the audience has long been comparing Nie Wei's works not only in China, but also in a wider world, and the requirements are naturally better, so often the passing score will become a failing score because of Nie Wei's name and the audience's high expectations.

"So let's watch it carefully and choose it carefully. As long as it has something to say, it will definitely catch up with Nie Wei's popularity." Xiao Wang promised solemnly, but Xiao Liu still heard the key point, that is, it must have something to say.

Because Nie Wei's works are of high quality, the appreciation and taste of the audience he leads have been greatly improved. The black spots that reporters usually make up casually are really not very effective for Nie Wei's works, because the audience simply does not buy it.

So if you want to blacken it, you must blacken it to the point, blacken it to the point that the audience can agree with it, that is what Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu think is a successful article.

In their opinion, the easiest place to find a breakthrough is the special effects.

As soon as the TV series started, the two immediately stared at the TV intently. What did not disappoint them was that the TV series used special effects at the beginning. The flying saucer quickly flew over the ancient city. In order to highlight the speed of the flying saucer, a strong wind blew in the city.

However, what disappointed Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang was that this special effect was too ordinary. Even if it was black, it could not blacken any explosive points.

Because the UFO really flew too fast, it was like a stream of light passing through the city, and no details of the UFO could be seen at all. How could this be criticized?

"It doesn't matter, let's write this down first and keep it for backup. There will definitely be special effects later, and the UFO may be given a close-up. And didn't they say that the male protagonist is an alien? He must have special abilities. I don't believe they don't use special effects." Xiao Wang was still very morale. Of course, the appearance of the UFO must also be recorded. No matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is still meat. It flew over so quickly. Don't you think it's too perfunctory?

The audience really didn't think it was perfunctory, because this prelude was obviously introducing the background of the aliens. It was enough to know that it was a UFO that brought the aliens here, no matter how fast or slow it flew.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang were still staring at the TV seriously, and soon, the opportunity came again.

The UFO really caused trouble, blowing away a mourning team. Seeing that the sedan chair was about to fall off the cliff, Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu both widened their eyes at this moment. They didn't believe that the director really dared to let the sedan chair fall and end it like this. Then they didn't criticize the special effects of this TV series, but just criticized the plot.

The director did not disappoint the two reporters, and the handsome male protagonist finally appeared.

It was just that the plot was guessed correctly, but the next scene made the two people's eyes almost pop out, because the picture on the TV really seemed to be still. There was no exaggerated animation special effects as they imagined, but it was really as if the pause button was pressed.

If the pause of people can be attributed to acting, how to explain those things flying into the sky? This special effect is both real and shocking, at least it fully demonstrates the male protagonist's ability to stop time.

The two looked at each other and saw praise in each other's eyes, and then they both smiled bitterly at the same time. It seems that there is no way to criticize this.

"I may have to apologize to some reporters. In fact, the special effects of this TV series are more about the investment in equipment." Nie Wei, who was also watching the live broadcast in the hotel, smiled and said to Shu Chang and Luo Kai beside him.

"How was this filmed?" Luo Kai scratched his head and couldn't figure it out.

"It should be done with many cameras." Shu Chang, as an actor, saw the key at a glance.

Nie Wei smiled and nodded, adding: "To be precise, it is 68 small cameras, like this." While speaking, he picked up the paper and pen on the table and drew a schematic diagram for the two.

"A semicircle, the small camera is set up on this semicircular bracket, and then the actors cooperate to pause, and more than 60 random cameras work at the same time to shoot a picture from multiple angles. This is not over yet. We have to edit it in the later stage to present the effect of "time pause" in the current picture."

"The investment must be huge." Hearing the number of equipment, Luo Kai knew that the cost must be high.

Nie Wei naturally did not deny this point. Including the bracket and even the small camera, they were all specially customized from the manufacturer. The price is much more expensive than normal products. Although ordinary cameras can also produce similar effects, in order to pursue a better effect, Nie Wei is willing to invest.

Facts have proved that Nie Wei's investment is valuable. The effect presented by this shooting method is very novel to the audience. Many viewers even began to become interested in this TV series from curiosity because of this shot.

But the essence of idol dramas is that in addition to the strong male protagonist, he must also be handsome.

This is very true for Cheng Kun. Although he is not very tall, he has a good proportion, and his appearance is also outstanding in the circle. Under the close-up shot, a warm smile not only makes the ancient little girl Xu Yiyi, played by Zheng Shuang in the TV series, beat faster, but also makes many girls in front of the TV beat faster.

"So handsome, why didn't I find that Cheng Kun smiled so handsome before."

"So charming, I feel his eyes can emit electricity."

"I really didn't expect Cheng Kun to attract me so much. He didn't have this kind of charm when he acted in those TV series before."

Compared to ordinary people, Cheng Kun's former little fans are more excited.

"I cried. This is the look of my favorite Cheng Kun."

"My brother Kun is back."

"It's this kind of smile. I will never forget it. I am in tears!"

The close-up shot of Zheng Shuang and Cheng Kun looking at each other lasted for more than ten seconds. Whether it was the men who were inspired to protect Zheng Shuang's pitiful look, or the women who were attracted by Cheng Kun's warm smile, they all had a feast for their eyes.

This is an idol drama. In other TV series, this scene would probably take less than a second to shoot.

This is also the essence of idol dramas. Regardless of whether the acting skills are good or not, at least the appearance must be online, and the shots must be beautiful, to give the audience a cleansing effect. As for whether it helps promote the plot of the TV series, those are secondary.

And the following scenes also prove how a successful idol drama should be shot.

The camera returns to the present day. What makes the girls blush is that the first shot is a picture of a half-naked man wrapped in a bath towel taking a bath. The camera gradually pulls in and out from a distance, and the girls watching TV gradually become dry-mouthed. The rock-hard chest, washboard-like eight-pack abs, broad back and occasional mermaid lines, some girls who are so absorbed in watching it almost stick their eyes to the screen.

So the legendary "slim when dressed, muscular when undressed" is talking about Cheng Kun in the camera now, right?

"Do you have eight-pack abs?"

"These abs are drooling."

"From today on, I am a fan of Cheng Kun's body."

"With such a good figure, he must have worked hard to train."

Netizens spoke enthusiastically in the discussion group of the TV series, and in the hotel box, several actors in the crew also kept an eye on some interesting posts. For example, the topic that Cheng Kun worked hard to train his muscles was noticed by Cheng Kun.

Because it really touched his heart.

That period of fitness was simply hell, and he didn't want to think about it until now, but now it seems that the effect is really great. Just like Nie Wei said, the efforts and sweat will not be in vain.

The voice of the narrator Cheng Kun is still introducing his abilities, some living habits and weaknesses. The picture also introduces the family background of the male protagonist from the side. Netizens have said that the male protagonist lives too exquisitely, which is not the life of a single dog at all. He is an outlier.

But this does not prevent them from envying the male protagonist's apartment and the big refrigerator in his home. Of course, they envy the male protagonist's abilities that make their lives more convenient.

Of course, the identity of the male protagonist is also introduced in the process. Because he has lived for hundreds of years and has had many identities, he has now become a professor at a university and his name has changed to Lin Tai.

As the camera turned, the picture style changed again, and countless media reporters and fans were seen holding cameras and mobile phones to take pictures. In the center of the venue, under an exquisite parasol, the female star played by Fan Binbin was sitting in a comfortable chair.

Then the assistant ran a long way to buy coffee. After Fan Binbin received it, he just took a few photos and handed it to the female assistant next to him. The assistant complained, and Fan Binbin retorted with reason, saying that the calories in coffee were too high.

Then he posted the posed photos on his blog, intending to show off his knowledge but ended up making a fool of himself, making the audience feel that this character is very cute.

Originally, the audience felt that Fan Binbin's character was too pretentious. He bought mocha but refused to drink it because it was too high in calories. He just wanted to take photos to deceive the public. He didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly. His silly image immediately covered up the previous minor flaws. Even if it was a shortcoming, after the plot was arranged, it seemed to become the advantage of this character in the eyes of the audience.

"Are all female stars so funny in private?"

"This female star is really a little silly."

"She looks smart, but I didn't expect such a reversal."

The audience watching TV did not hesitate to complain about the female star Tong Mengxi played by Fan Binbin. In the later plot, she met with the male protagonist Lin Tai in the elevator. Her narcissistic appearance was finally ignored by Lin Tai, which made the audience very happy.

It can be said that Tong Mengxi completely broke the audience's previous inherent impression of female stars. In everyone's eyes, female stars who should have lived an extremely exquisite life were completely subverted in this TV series.

Tong Mengxi is glamorous in front of people and is a goddess pursued by countless people, but in life she is a real rough girl.

She has a memory like a fish, she can't even remember her own phone number, and she only dares to set the simplest password for the door because she is afraid of forgetting it because it is too complicated.

She is also sloppy in life, and she is completely different from Lin Tai next door. Tong Mengxi throws clothes around when she enters the house, and sings in her room in the middle of the night. Lin Tai can hear it clearly in the next room. At that time, Lin Tai's eyebrows were almost tangled into a ball because of Tong Mengxi's singing, and the audience laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

She is also late for work, etc., in the words of the director on TV, it has become a habit, and it is getting more and more excessive, but when Tong Mengxi arrived, the director changed his previous temper and coaxed Tong Mengxi to coax her into the set. He only dared to roll his eyes when he turned his head and was out of sight of Tong Mengxi.

In addition, many characters also flashed in the first episode, such as Tong Mengxi's somewhat snobbish mother, Liu Shimei, who is Tong Mengxi's best friend but is actually very jealous of Tong Mengxi, and of course Li Huijing, a warm-hearted rich second-generation man.

Each character is full of charm, completely different from some of the stereotyped TV drama characters in the current Chinese TV drama market, and the audience is also very happy to watch it.

After the end of one episode, almost 90% of the audience did not choose to change the channel, but waited for the second episode to be broadcast.
