The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 176 The prop company that is about to collapse
In the next half month, the Huaxia Martial Arts Association suddenly made a series of actions that were somewhat contrary to their usual behavior;
First, an online selection activity of "China Martial Arts Star" was launched, and then an invitation letter was issued, inviting all members and martial arts enthusiasts of major martial arts gyms in a semi-forced tone to shoot a 1-minute real-life combat practice video, Send it to the newly built website for audition;
And it is specially stated that anyone who has been trained or has been named in the corresponding institution must participate in this event, and the uploaded materials must not be "passive and slow at work", otherwise they will be punished according to the circumstances.

Looking at the official seals of a certain sports bureau and a certain cultural bureau on the invitation letter that looks like a red-headed document, under the threat of "qualification", various martial arts and martial arts training institutions in China, including clubs, had to frantically fight Called the conveners, and there were many resentful members of the "new faction" among them. The Huaxia Wushu world is divided into many factions, each of which has quite different philosophies. Judging from the general preference of a certain association, my emphasis on actual combat and not on posture, And the faction members who are contrary to "tradition", what are they doing with that spirit? Aren't they all studying with the prince?
Unexpectedly, this time a certain association did not know what medicine was wrong. After more than half a month of audition process, most of the "new faction" members with some strength were selected. Instead, those "traditional famous families" who have always been favored ", except for a few sporadic people, almost all of them were brushed off;
This time, China's martial arts world exploded, and the director and investors of the "Wulin Crackdown" program were overjoyed. Could it be that his program was so effective that it came into the field of vision of the above, so there was such a ?
But in the eyes of some thoughtful people, things are not that simple. Looking at the list of those selected, they are either free fighting members who are closer to the style of Sanda, or some new members who are more inclined to actual combat. But after careful observation, the selected members' In the works, there are clearly shadows of genres such as Baji and Hu's poking feet. The biggest feature of these genres is that they have the effect of effectively defeating the enemy;
What is even more breath-taking is that this selection actually has a special preference for the two schools of Tong Bei Quan and Yang Style Tai Chi. Whenever there are fighting videos uploaded, there are skills or variants of these two schools. Basically all of them were selected. You must know that many methods in these two schools are no longer purely fighting skills. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are killing skills.

No matter how the outside world spreads the uproar, Yang Zhu doesn't care about it. He just allocated the budget in his hand and added it again and again, so that these martial arts coaches with real level will agree to go abroad to teach after mobilizing both money and ideas;
On the other hand, relying on the debts owed to him by the superiors, he put forward some excessive demands-the number of private martial arts coaches who can meet his standards is seriously insufficient, and a group of people need to be "transferred" from the army to supplement;

At the beginning, the higher-ups refused to agree to it life and death. The higher-ups understood the bastard's temperament. They knew that there must be a lot of bad things going on behind this kid. If members of the army participate in it, the risk of public opinion to the country will be enormous;

Yang Zhu didn't take it seriously, and said to them directly:
"Aren't the [Small Circle] organizations that caused many disturbances in North America decades ago also composed of retired personnel?"

"I haven't seen any public opinion risk to the country!"

"Besides, don't say that this plan will not be popular, even if there are really large-scale demons and organizations involved in violence around the world, how many organizations have not recruited retired personnel from various countries?"

"Is this a difficult problem that all countries have no solution for?"

"As long as you're not working, even if this matter breaks the sky, there will be no problem;"

"And according to my plan, these [retired] personnel will not be allowed to become coaches until half a year later, plus the initial [silent period], there will be nearly a year in the middle;"

"As long as you act quickly, arrange for people to [transfer] now, and no one in the middle can say anything;"

"If you are worried, I promise you here that these [transferred] personnel are only used as trump cards, and they are also fulfilling the obligations that a normal martial arts coach should have. Basically, they only take action when people come to make trouble or kick the gym. They took the initiative to attack, isn't that okay?"

Hearing his promise, the people above knew that this kid planned to invest 1200 billion yuan in the first year. After building at least 6000 martial arts gyms around the world, they were first taken a breath of surprise by this big deal, and then finally shocked by a burst of rhetoric. Convinced, agreed to coordinate with other departments, and try to allocate enough manpower to ensure the smooth development of the plan.

After Yang Zhu got the promise from above, he was greatly relieved;

Now that two of the four core elements of the basic disk have been solved, and the other one doesn't seem to be a big problem, then the rest is to do it yourself and create a hot spot for this project...

………………

Leaving aside Yang Zhu's side, Little White Rabbit is also very busy here;
She didn't think much about being a simple actor before, but now, as one of the two "giants" of the "Three Kingdoms Confidential" crew, she realized how daunting it is to prepare a complete film and television project.

"Miss Wan, this is a prop sample sent by the prop company. You are an expert in this area, why don't you take a look?" Zhang Lin was a little uncertain, so he had to come to the little white rabbit for help;

According to Yang Zhu's special instructions, he should learn from the United States in film and television production. Although this drama is only a TV drama, it must be strictly implemented in accordance with the standards of movies. In his words, it should be used to train Zhang Lin's basic skills.

Under this kind of request, props became the top priority of this play. Even if he found the top prop company, he was still afraid of making mistakes, but he obviously didn't dare to bother Yang Zhu with such things, so he took Coincidentally, I came to find Wan Jing to endorse.

The little white rabbit didn't think so much, so he responded directly and came to the warehouse where the prop samples were placed.

Looking at the piles of props in the vacated warehouse, a dozen small application scenarios built according to different purposes, Wan Jing began to observe carefully.

"The shape of this batch of swords is not good enough. In the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, [four sides and eight edges] swords were used. The width of the swords of this batch of props is 1 cm smaller, and there are no edges on them!"

"Also, the blade is too glossy. Ancient swords are not as smooth as a mirror, so the color is a little duller."

The little white rabbit took out a sword, looked at it for a while, then frowned;
The staff of the props company on the side hurriedly took a small notebook and wrote it down. They said at the beginning that what they want is quality. Inside, it is also a small fortune.

"Why do you only have [Ring Lock Armor] as your armor?"

"What about [Black Light], [Ming Guang], and [Horse Armor]?"

"You know, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, these armors were not only used for fighting on the battlefield, but also a status symbol. The screen is full of [ring lock armor]. Not to mention losing the sense of reality, the audience is likely to experience visual fatigue. !"

When the staff heard this, they felt a little bitter at the corner of their mouths. Since the props were made according to movie standards, they must be realistic. Although this [Ring Lock Armor] looks a little ugly, it took them half a month to work on it. , referring to a large number of historical documents, typed out one by one, in order to not look industrial;
However, [Ring Lock Armor] can be restored through reverse engineering, but [Black Light Armor] and [Mingguang Armor], they really can't restore it now! ——You know, if you really strictly follow the requirements of the crew, it’s not just the appearance, but every part has to be completely restored, and even the weight must be similar, so that the movements of the characters will be real and there will be no drape. Wearing an armor weighing dozens of kilograms, it turned out to be as light as a piece of paper, and there was no sense of [constraint].

Hearing the complaints from the staff of the prop company, Wan Jing thought for a while, and directly wrote down two phone numbers in his small notebook:
"This is Professor Zhang from the History Department of Capital University. His research topic is the history of the Three Kingdoms. We talked about it during our last collaboration. He should have complete craft information on various armors and harnesses of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

The people from the prop company were overjoyed, the so-called "teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish"; if the other party is really willing to provide a complete craft, then it is really a treasure!

…………

"The pattern and color of the palace carpet are wrong. You can tell that it is industrially dyed at a glance, and the shape of the Chilong pattern embroidered on it is wrong. The Chilong pattern in the Eastern Han Dynasty has fewer twisted silk tails than that of the Western Han Dynasty. The ears are drooping and the eyes are also drooping compared to the Western Han Dynasty. ;"

"You go to [Su Huazhai]. They are making palace carpets with pure plant dyes recently, and there will be no problems in terms of color and shape."

"The same goes for the actors' clothes. The shape is correct, but the color is wrong. Let [Su Huazhai] solve it."

…………

"These palace lamps are wrong. The courts of the Han Dynasty used gold-plated cylinder lamps, the smokeless ones, and the shapes are generally figures and animals, rather than a simple candle holder. Go back and redo it!"

The staff looked a little unnatural.

………………

"There are also problems with these houses. The tiles of the Han Dynasty all have inscriptions. Generally, there are auspicious words such as Changle Weiyang, Changsheng Wuji, and Never Forget You in Xiaozhuan."

The staff are a little bit bitter.

………………

"There is nothing wrong with the shape of these chime bells, but there is no base underneath. Go back and make up for it. The Han Dynasty generally used the shape of auspicious beasts to make the bases of large musical instruments, and they also paid attention to streamlines. You should pay attention to this when the time comes."

The staff members turned pale.

…………

"There are a lot of problems with palace banquets. It is true that the courts of the Han Dynasty usually used lacquerware high-footed dishes, but the edges of the upper sides of the houses have gilt patterns;"

"As for the patterns, just use [Four Gods Patterns of Featherman];"

"Furthermore, when there is a big banquet for the officials, there must be a square tripod; and for a small banquet, there will also be a small and medium-sized tripod for the emperor's exclusive use;"

"As for the Fang Ding, you naturally know how to choose it. As for the Ding for the emperor's small banquet, you can just use the round [Bronze Divided Ding Ding]."

The eyes of the staff began to slacken.

…………

"There are also these jade pendants, the color is not right, don't use pure white, use the seed material with skin; on the dragon-shaped jade pendants [use dots instead of scales], the knife work of ordinary people's jade pendants should be more simple, your lines are too Feminine and round."

"There is also this jade seal. The problem of color and luster is serious. Choose a larger square material and redo it after the color is turned into leather!"

"and also……"

Two full hours later, the staff of the props company held the already deformed little book and left with an ashen face. The way they looked at Wan Jing before leaving was clearly like looking at a little monster.

Zhang Lin, who accompanied me all the time, also wiped the sweat from his forehead. This auntie, we are just filming a TV series, which is basically enough. Is your co-author planning to turn it into an online museum exhibition drama?
Wan Jing saw Zhang Lin's unnaturalness, and sighed slightly:

"Director Zhang, I know you'll think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill,"

"But this drama has invested a full 2 million yuan, and it is very likely that there will be additional investment in the future,"

"Isn't it the first case of such a large sum of worthless investment in our Chinese TV drama business?"

Zhang Lin nodded. If you cut out the tricks in the middle and compared the real investment, the investment in this TV series is indeed the highest in China so far.

Seeing him nodding, Wan Jing continued, "So, the purpose of BOSS is very clear, that is, to set a benchmark for China's costume dramas;"

"Let's not talk about whether the audience can accept the plot,"

"But I do know that BOSS hopes that, at least through our efforts, the audience will become less and less fond of those shoddy and perfunctory costume dramas;"

"I also hope that the audience can at least appreciate the glory of our Chinese civilization through this TV series;"

"So, in this case, whether these props are real or not is far more important than you think;"

"You know, [details make the effect], this sentence is not only applicable to commercial, but also applicable to TV dramas;"

"In the hundreds of minutes or thousands of minutes of the picture, countless finely crafted details are gathered together, and after precipitation, the visual impact and aesthetic subtlety brought to the audience are beyond the reach of most movies. of."

"Even if we work hard on the actor's performance, it is not an absolutely controllable factor after all,"

"So, for the fully controllable hardware elements like props, even if we work harder and make the prop company suffer a little, we must not be sloppy."

"Just treat it as... the basic insurance!"

After Zhang Lin heard this, he was a little ashamed. This is the most invested drama he has received so far, and it is also the biggest assessment he has faced. As a result, as a director, he is not as careful and thoughtful as an actor.

After his old face blushed for a while, Zhang Lin said seriously: "Miss Wan, you have been taught!"

"If there is anything wrong with me in the future, just bring it up, and I will definitely change it!"

Seeing Zhang Lin's serious look, Wan Jing was taken aback, and quickly waved her hands: "Director Zhang, you are serious. You are the director, and you have the final say!"

Zhang Lin shook his head and put on a smiling face:
"You know my background, I was born in commercials;"

"Thanks to Boss Yang for being able to see it, and planning to support me, that's why I slowly learned to be a director;"

"But I don't know what level I am now, at most I am a rookie just out of Novice Village;"

"In the past, with Boss Yang teaching and leading, there were no major mistakes;"

"But now, Boss Yang has more important things to do, so he can't take care of this side;"

"So, I can only trouble you to worry about it!"

"Don't worry, what I just said is really not casual, I really think so!"

"You are knowledgeable and considerate. If Boss Yang is not around, you are the talker;"

"So, if there is anything wrong, you can bring it up without any scruples;"

"Anyway..."

"It's all family!"

The little white rabbit looked at the director who had worked with him once, and seemed to have a narrow smile, and his expression was a little awkward;
It knows the relationship between Zhang Lin and its own boss;

Could it be,

He also saw something coming out?

Thinking of this, Little White Rabbit felt a little shy, but she was secretly happy...
