"The remake of 'Dragons and Semi-Devils' has a strong cast!”
"Bai Mu is playing Murong Fu, a tragic villain!”
"Jin Yong personally chose the cast. Is the new Heavenly Dragon worth looking forward to?”
“……”
After the news of the remake of the Demigods and Dragons was spread online, it instantly caused a huge wave of fervor.
This was because the influence of the Eight Heavenly Dragons was indeed too great. The younger generation, middle-aged, and even the elderly in China had at least seen or understood the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
It was a large IP that symbolized a gold mine. It came with countless traffic, and countless people would look forward to it from the beginning of the filming.
"I heard that Bai Mu is acting as Murong Fu. Is that true?”
"It's true! He was looking forward to it. Perhaps a brand new Murong Fu would appear!”
"With Bai Mu's acting skills, this movie is worth watching.”
"I don't understand why Bai Mu doesn't act as Duan Yu, but I feel like he's a gentleman?”
"Maybe Bai Mu wants to challenge himself.”
"I don't care. With Bai Mu, I'm definitely going to follow this drama!”
"I didn't expect Zhang Meng to play the role of Wang Yuyan. Emmm, I don't think the temperament is particularly compatible.”
"I think Zhang Meng is okay. Her temperament is very suitable for the role of Wang Yuyan.”
"On the whole, the Heavenly Dragon crew is still okay. It's worth looking forward to.”
“……”
……
With the end of the opening ceremony, the production team's work began to get on track.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Dragon had officially started filming.
Since Bai Mu was going to make me a singer next week, in order to save time, Director Zhang Qu decided to use Bai Mu's time to shoot Murong Fu's scenes first.
They definitely wouldn't be able to shoot much in a week, but they would do whatever they could. When Bai Mu went to participate in I Am a Singer, they would film the other people's scenes.
Before the shooting, Bai Mu and Director Zhang Qu discussed and specifically instructed the props team to prepare more than ten sets of costumes of different styles and colors.
Apart from that, Murong Fu's folding fan and carriage had to be exquisite and elegant.
He needed to let people know at a glance that he was a rich and extravagant person.
The reason for this was, of course, to set off the character's identity and establish a character image.
In the original novel, the Murong family had a long history and accumulated wealth for several generations. The area within a hundred miles of Swallow Dock was the world of the Murong family of Gusu. From this, one could see the extravagance of the Murong family.
Being born into such a family, Murong Fu's living conditions were definitely top-notch.
Whether it was food, clothing, or travel, they would definitely be expensive.
However, in the first edition of the Demigods and Semi-Devils, Murong Fu never changed his clothes from the first appearance to the last moment when he went crazy.
How could the audience believe Murong Fu's tall, rich, and handsome character?
The details determined success or failure!
For a TV series, there was no need to nitpick every scene like in a movie, but at least they had to pay attention to the most basic details.
Fortunately, the crew did not lack money. Director Zhang Qu was also a person who kept improving. In addition, Bai Mu's status was high enough, so his requests were basically taken seriously.
After solving the problem with the props, they were ready to start shooting the first scene of Murong Fu.
The first scene was Murong Fu's first appearance in the book. It was the scene where Murong Fu subdued Duan Yu under the alias of Li Yanzong in the mill by the bank of Taihu Lake.
Before filming, the martial arts director Zhao Hai explained the martial arts moves to Bai Mu and Lin Zhiying.
"Later, when Mr. Bai slashes his saber horizontally, lean your body forward and dodge it…"
Zhao Hai said as he held the prop knife and demonstrated it in slow motion for the two of them to see.
"How is it? Can you remember it?"
"I should be fine." Bai Mu nodded.
"Me too." Lin Zhiying said.
" Okay," Zhao Hai said." Just remember the movements. If you really can't remember them, you can slow down and play them in post-production.”
There was nothing they could do about the slow motion, because young actors nowadays had never received professional martial arts training, so it was impossible for them to play very coherently.
If it was Li Lianjie or Chen Long, even if they were faking it, it would still look very real. At least, there would not be any obvious slow-motion.
"Lin Zhiying, how's your martial arts foundation?" Bai Mu asked after a moment of silence.”
"I haven't practiced it before, so I might not be able to do it.”Lin Zhiying said awkwardly.
He understood what Bai Mu meant. He wanted to 'fight for real'.
The " real fight " here did not mean that the two of them were free to play and fight randomly. Instead, it meant that they would fight quickly according to the set martial arts movements. This way, they did not need to use too much slow motion to attract criticism.
However, there were very few people who could do this now, especially in China. Most martial arts films used countless slow-motion scenes, which made people feel very depressed.
"How about this, we'll start shooting in the afternoon. We'll practice now and try to make our movements as coherent as possible.”Bai Mu suggested.
He had learned Chinese martial arts through the system, so he could do all kinds of martial arts routines with his hands, so it was easy for him to shoot the moves in martial arts movies, but Lin Zhiying couldn't do it.
This was because if he wanted to play well, he had to show strength and control.
For example, when Bai Mu slashed down, he could stop two centimeters in front of Lin Zhiying, which could reflect the point of force and the feeling of impact.
Therefore, Bai Mu and Lin Zhiying spent the entire morning practicing their martial arts moves against the enemy. Or rather, it was Bai Mu who taught Lin Zhiying how to accurately dodge, making the camera look " dangerous."
Fortunately, there weren't many action scenes in this scene, and most of them were Bai Mu's moves and Lin Zhiying's dodging. This way, Lin Zhiying's requirements weren't too high.
As for the special effect of the " Wave Subtle Steps ", it could be done through post-processing.
In the afternoon, the first scene officially started shooting.
Zhang Qu sat in the director's chair and shouted,"All departments, get ready. We'll start filming immediately!”
"The photography team is ready!"
"The props team is ready!"
“……”
"Alright, Action!"
With a command, the cameras immediately moved forward.
