440: Set Within Set

The seventh episode of "The Story of Time" has come to an end.

In a residential area in Hangzhou, Xia An, the director of Blueberry TV, raised his lips slightly and smiled.

He was more worried about the main theme of this episode.

In the exploration of "interesting" and "meaningful", domestic variety shows have begun to shape a new aesthetic.

First of all, it is well-made, with beautiful pictures and emphasis on audio-visual language. It uses high-tech shooting techniques to create magnificent scenes, and poetic commentary highlights the beauty of Chinese civilization.

Secondly, the program cleverly combines entertainment with sincere emotions, and uses vivid laughter and tears to give the program a strong communication power.

Finally, it is the pursuit of social significance and value.

Variety shows can only win the hearts of the audience by cleverly combining spiritual connotation, variety sense, and artistic sense. The success of "The Story of Time" is also like this. The sudden insertion of the main theme style, with Django in charge, does not worry about the final effect presented. The only worry is whether it will cause discomfort and disgust to the audience.

Xia An looked at the dense barrage of comments in the Blueberry TV live broadcast room, as well as his father, mother, wife and daughter with red eyes, and knew that there was no problem.

"The author of "Year Hare Affair" is the one who wrote this song?" The father raised his hand and gently wiped the corner of his eyes, and then looked at Xia An.

"Yes, Grandpa, those Cantonese songs you like and "The Lone Brave Man" were all written by him." The daughter answered first.

"What's his name?" The father asked again.

"Jiang Ge, Jiang is Jiang Ziya's Jiang, and Ge is Ge in the Gobi Desert." The daughter replied.

"A very talented young man." The father commented.

For those of them who are older, the most touching part of the whole song is "grasp every minute of life, go all out for the dream in our hearts, how can we see the rainbow without going through wind and rain, no one can succeed casually."

Xia An admires Jiang Ge very much. From "Dreaming of a Child" to "Proud Boy", and from "Lone Warrior" to "True Hero", every inspirational song can touch people's hearts.

The key is that he also cares about social reality, sings about big and small people in the era, and inspires people to think rationally about life.

Jiang Ge's success has set off a new trend of reform in the entertainment industry, and has taken a completely different path from other stars. The future is full of infinite possibilities.

At this time, his wife suddenly said: "Everyone likes him. I feel that you can ask him to do your New Year's Eve concert or Spring Festival Gala."

Xia An's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. Yes, why didn't I think of this before.

After the show ended, many people went straight to NetEase Cloud Music.

Sure enough, two songs were put on the shelves, one was "Country" sung by Na Tu, and the other was "True Hero" sung by Long Wei.

"There is not a single bad song in "Year Hare Affair"."

"'Home is the smallest country, and the country is made up of millions of homes', the lyrics are very well written."

"Another patriotic song after "My Motherland" and "As Wish."

"I didn't expect that Uncle Long's singing voice is so tasteful."

"Of course, Uncle Long has released an album."

"There are now nine songs on the hit song chart."

...

Today's life is so beautiful, it is inseparable from our hard work and those who carry the burden for us.

The topic volume of "Country" and "True Hero" on the entire network is growing at an extremely crazy speed.

Headlines, hot searches, these are not a problem. After all, Django is the "traffic code". If there is a little movement, major news platforms will scramble to promote it.

What's more amazing is that it has once again received comments and praise from official media such as CCTV and the Youth League.

The cameo of the rabbit in "The Story of Time" ignited the passion of the fans and also brought up the popularity of "Kung Fu Panda".

"There are still 10 days to release!"

"I am so excited!"

"Can we fast forward to May Day?"

"Ten thousand people signed a petition to create an animation universe!"

"Support, link up like the Speed ​​Universe and the White Night Universe!"

"It doesn't have to be linked, it can also be a brand."

...

You should know that Chinese animation is not favored by most parents. They think that Chinese animation is just a toy used by adults to coax children, which has led to more and more people losing confidence in Chinese animation and losing their original expectations.

So we can't just think about pleasing children. More ideas are to achieve multi-age animation, which can be adapted to people of all ages to watch. Therefore, we should be "willing to give up" and abandon the traditional idea that "animation is only suitable for children to watch" and accept new ideas and innovations.

With the rapid development of the two-dimensional culture, animation is gradually accepted by more and more people, and Chinese animation is also changing. Many excellent animation works have been born one after another. Although they are not as powerful as Japanese animation, they have already walked out of the haze.

Jiang Ge and Huafeng Media, who have always been willing to spend money and spend it wisely, are highly expected by domestic comic fans, hoping that they can carry the banner of domestic comics just like they carry the banner of domestic films and domestic TV series.

Although "Year Hare Affair" is popular, it is too short, the story is limited, and the picture quality is not mainstream, so the upcoming "Kung Fu Panda" has become the focus of the work, which determines whether it can enter the animation circle.

Jiang Ge also put a lot of effort into this animated film, and did not save money, people, and materials at all, and pulled them all in. The boutique route runs through the whole process.

Amid various discussions, the ratings for the seventh episode of "The Story of Time" came out, and they rebounded strongly to 37%, which is still the best.

After losing seven games in a row in "Extreme Challenge", I feel a little depressed. I don't even have much confidence in the ultimate move I prepared for the last period, because if you have the ultimate move, others also have it.

The terrible thing is that the last episode of "The Story of Time" has not been recorded so far, so I don't know what kind of cards will be played there.

This unconventional move also caused heated discussion.

"Why hasn't the recording started yet?"

"It's been delayed for two weeks."

"Will the broadcast start be delayed?"

"A friend of mine got the opportunity to go to the scene and was told to go there next Tuesday."

“Then if it’s going to be broadcast on Friday, wouldn’t it mean that we only have two days to do post-production?”

"I don't understand. Django isn't filming anymore. He's not busy."

…

Variety shows on Blue Star usually produce two episodes first, and then start broadcasting when the third episode is filmed. Basically, the recording is completed by the third to last episode.

The recording of the last episode of "Story of Time" was postponed and postponed again. It is unknown what went wrong. In the face of inquiries from netizens and the media, neither Blueberry TV nor Huafeng Media responded.

This weekend, Jiang Ge was not idle and got the sample film of "Nirvana in Fire" in the morning.

It has been a few months since the filming was completed. Due to the huge workload of 54 episodes and the very high requirements, it took two or three times as much time as other dramas. The post-production has only been completed now.

"Want to watch it together?" Jiang Ge asked Zhou Lingwei.

"Uh..." Zhou Lingwei was very hesitant and wanted to watch it first, but she also wanted to wait until it started airing. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Let's watch a few... one or two episodes."

In the end, desire triumphed over reason because the appeal of the show was too great.

No, compared with soap operas that often have 180 episodes, although the 54-episode "Langya Bang" is not short, it is rarely procrastinating. In a drama with idealism and strategy as the main line, no matter in terms of angle, positioning, In terms of rigor, the composition, color tone, storyboards, special effects, and soundtrack, as well as every line, every location survey, every accessory, every piece of clothing, every clothing pattern... are all considered to be the best in China. The best and most conscientious work among costume dramas.

Moreover, Django has strengthened all aspects on this basis.

Let's put it this way, "Nirvana in Fire" is currently the most expensive and most thoughtful domestic drama, bar none.

Valley

Plug in the external hard drive, open the video player, and play the first episode!

Like the orchid in the valley, the sound of the guqin sounded with a somewhat sad sound.

The theme song and ending song of the original version of "Nirvana in Fire" were both "When the Wind Rises". Seeing that the superstar value was too high, Jiang Ge exchanged a song for "Enemy" as the theme song, and "When the Wind Rises" was only used as the ending song. .

"Where will I see you? Could it be that it has been determined by my past life? The distance that flies through time and space is limited by the light and shadow of the sword..."

"Old Enemy" is the theme song composed by Xu Song in 2011 for the online game "Tian Long Ba Bu 3". The Chinese-style lyrics, music and arrangement are very suitable for "Nirvana in Fire".

"Who sang this song?" Zhou Lingwei didn't recognize it.

"Hu Jingtian." Jiang Ge replied.

"His singing style is quite special, and he is quite right to sing such ancient songs." Zhou Lingwei commented.

"Well, that's the reason why I won't sing for Chen Yi and Lin Yu." Jiang Ge said.

The original singer Xu Song's singing style is unique, his voice is melodious and clear, and his voice is relatively lazy. His articulation is sometimes long and sometimes tactful, sometimes playful and elastic, and his control of the voice is relatively stable.

Few people can sing the essence of his songs.

At that time, Jiang Ge felt that Hu Jingtian's voice was not bad, so he asked him to try out "When the Wind Rises" and "Old Enemy", and the result was decided.

The theme song ends and the main film begins.

[The tragic battlefield, the bloody shirt, and the scarred figure of his father, "Xiao Shu, live, live for the Red Flame Army." Mei Changsu once again woke up from the nightmare of the bloody battle in Meiling 12 years ago. Touching the word "Lin" engraved on the Scarlet Flame Army's bracelet, I couldn't calm down and remained silent for a long time.

Lin Chen, the master of Langya Pavilion, received the news that Bei Yan appointed the sixth prince as the crown prince. The envoy from Daliang to Bei Yan was already on the way. I believe the princes in the capital will know about it soon.

At the same time, Prince Yu of Daliang and the prince in the capital, who were patrolling Jiangzuo, learned that the reason why the sixth prince stood out was because he had obtained the secret of "Qilin Talents, Who Can Conquer the World" in Langya Pavilion's brocade bag... 】

Zhou Lingwei held a pillow in her arms and stared at the computer screen intently, as if in trance.

As for Django, the focus is not on the plot, but on the transitions, soundtrack, sound recording and other details. He is asked to review it to ensure the quality of each episode.

One episode…

Two episodes…

Three episodes…

"If you don't watch anymore, you won't be able to stop." Zhou Lingwei suddenly pressed the pause button and said to Jiang Ge beside her.

"You really don't want to watch anymore?" Jiang Ge teased her.

"Well, you can see for yourself." Zhou Lingwei stood up and said.

The more I watch it, the more addictive I become. If I finish watching it, I will no longer be able to talk about the plot with my little sisters.

Jiang Ge couldn't bear to watch it. After Zhou Lingwei left, he pressed the play button.

——————

The time came to 2:30 pm on April 22, and the location was Studio 2 of the Blueberry TV Building.

"Yansi sent a message. They just left and will arrive in about half an hour." Xu Chenyi reported.

"Uncle and aunt are resting in Studio No. 1. Sister Mo Lan is explaining the process there." Lin Yu followed up and reported.

"Okay, let's hurry up." Jiang Ge nodded.

Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and loudspeaker and walked out. Xu Chenyi and Lin Yu quickly followed.

The audience who had just entered and sat down saw the three of them coming this way and shouted excitedly.

"Director Jiang!"

"Chen Yi!"

"Lin Yu!"

…

Walking to the auditorium, Jiang Ge immediately raised the loudspeaker and said to the audience: "Everyone, please be quiet!"

Xu Chenyi and Lin Yu, who were next to them, were also making "shush" gestures to silence them.

When no one spoke, Jiang Ge said into the loudspeaker: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the recording of the last episode of "The Story of Time". What I want to say next is very important. The reason why the recording was postponed until today.”

When the audience heard this, they couldn't help but get excited and listened attentively.

Jiang Ge continued: "In a while, the program will be recorded according to the process. When the closing song is performed at the end, Chen Yi will propose to Yan Si..."

As soon as the news came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"I knew that the postponement must be because something big was going to happen!"

"Wow, are we going to witness the happy moment of a newlywed couple?"

"Are you trying to hide it from Guan Yansi?"

"Sure, it's called a surprise proposal!"

"So romantic!"

"The ratings for this episode are going to explode!"

…

Seeing them talking non-stop, Jiang Ge sighed and could only shout again: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me first."

The audience stopped talking and looked at him.

Jiang Ge continued: "The staff will give everyone a rose. When Chen Yi kneels down and says his proposal, you immediately stand up, hold up the rose and say 'marry him'. I hope everyone can cooperate." "

"no problem!"

The responses were very neat. Everyone wanted to participate and naturally they would not refuse.

"Thank you everyone!"

Jiang Ge, along with Xu Chenyi and Lin Yu, bowed deeply in front of the audience.

That's right, this is a trick within a trick, even the audience is deceived, and the surprise is maximized.

Django watched the time ticking from second to second, becoming more and more nervous.

"How are the arrangements?" Mo Lan has already finished it.

"Almost." Django kept breathing deeply.

"Are you nervous?" Mo Lan asked with a smile.

"Well, I'm very nervous." Jiang Ge tried his best to relax.

"How about you go backstage and take a rest, and I'll keep an eye on it for you." Mo Lan said.

"Okay, then I'm going to the bathroom." Jiang Ge wanted to wash his face.

The staff began to distribute roses, and Mo Lan gave instructions on what to pay attention to during the recording.

After a while, Zhou Lingwei, Chu Pianpian, Guan Yansi and others arrived.
