Chapter 53 Let’s use puppet show to make a promotional video! !
"Puppet show?" Bai Miaomiao was slightly stunned when she heard the voice. She couldn't keep up with the increasingly bouncing thoughts of many of her big productions, "Puppet show... let me think about it, Pupai... oh yes , yes.”
< br>"This thing is generally believed by academic circles to have originated in Wenling (alias) in the 17th century. There are differences between traditional puppetry and modern puppetry...it did originate in southern Fujian."
"However, , There are quite a lot of branches of Puppetry. Among the "Puppetry" in the southern Fujian dialect area, there are "Jinjiang Puppetry", "Zhangzhou Puppetry", and what are they called... Oh, "Puppetry" in Cangnan, Zhejiang Province Bag puppet show, etc. School."
Bai Miaomiao worked hard to search through various information in her mind: "As for the branches that have been spread to other regions... there are even more branches."< br>
"Xiaoyi, why are you suddenly asking about this? Are you planning to incorporate the 'Puppet Show' into the game?"
The girl in Hanfu who fantasized about incorporating puppet show elements into the character subconsciously frowned He frowned: "It's not impossible. ...But the style of painting seems a bit fragmented, right?”
—After all, the Mu Guiying they originally set up was not a string puppet in a puppet show, and they suddenly inserted a puppet show element. She looked at it. It seems to be somewhat acclimatized.
Weird.
“No, it definitely won’t work if this thing is inserted into the game. The style of painting must be a bit fragmented.” Xu Yichi shook his head, “But what I was thinking just now is... can we directly use the bag puppet show? Or a puppet show... to film our game promotional video?”
"Use a puppet show to shoot a game promotional video?" Bai Miaomiao was confused by the little girl's sudden words, "Good guy, Xiaoyi, you are going to go to heaven!"
"You...why did you suddenly come up with this strange idea?"
"Hehe...Actually, this idea didn't come completely out of the blue." It's out." Xu Yichi said and scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's my idol - Ms. Lan reminded me today that I can carefully consider how to shoot the game promotional video from now on, and start handling the subsequent promotions. That’s a problem.”
“She said that the topic of ‘intangible cultural heritage’ itself has a certain amount of natural traffic. If we publicize it well and can put the game on the Spring Festival schedule at the end of the year or pick a time like March 3rd next year that we can officially put online, we can maintain the game's popularity. The media popularity and player discussion in about half a year”
“In addition, she also suggested that we could consider directly using some kind of intangible cultural heritage. ——Shadow puppets, paper-cutting, local folk arts and so on——shoot half or most of the promotional video, make a "million transition" and add special effects in the middle, and then naturally connect it to the plot and gameplay introduction of our game—— This way the effect is cooler, and it is more likely to be easier for professionals to endorse us, making it easier to get out of the circle.”
"I started thinking about this before I came back, and I have been thinking about it for a long time." The little girl smacked her lips and supported her chin, "I was thinking about... Paper-cutting, we can't do it better than the Shanghai Art Factory The few paper-cut animations produced back then; shadow puppetry has developed well in recent years and seems to be relatively common again."
"If these two are not suitable, then you can only consider local operas and other ones. It’s intangible cultural heritage—but depending on us With the current funding level, it seems a bit difficult to directly ask actors and teachers from local theater troupes to specially choreograph a new play for our game promotional video; using stop-motion animations such as Dang Dui Brocade or Gaoping Embroidery, then It doesn’t seem to be much cheaper than hiring a troupe.”
“Really, before I came back, I was so confused that my head started to hurt, until just now-Qingqing mentioned the puppet show she was chasing. ."< br>
“This actually inspired me - the puppet shows in Wan Chai were originally transmitted from southern Fujian. So they can use puppets to produce such cool dramas... We have our own puppet shows in Fujian Province. various types of wood Why can't a puppet show be produced? Our puppet show has more types than that of the rebellious boy!"
"And we can't afford to hire a whole troupe of actors. The image of the character in the game, We can still get the money from the two puppets, right?" Xu Yichi said with excitement, "Anyway, shooting a game promotional video doesn't require them to re-write the scene. The shooting scenes can be restored according to the main plot of the game; the soundtrack is the theme song written by Ms. Lan and others for the game, but the performance can be added with the ethnic instruments they usually use in puppet shows.”
“The customary chants and slogans of puppet shows can be changed and retained according to the needs of the plot and promotional film; on this basis, we add camera operation, editing and special effects... With such a complete set of processes combined, we will have a promotional video that is unique in the entire network!”
“Xiaobai, what do you think of my idea? , are you doing anything?”
After Xu Yichi finished speaking, he excitedly grabbed the Hanfu girl’s hand. After hearing this, the latter’s eyes started to beat wildly uncontrollably: “Your idea is quite unique. If it can really be photographed, the effect should be quite explosive."
"But... I have to remind you, Xiaoyi."
"That's the exquisite puppet shows in Wan Chai that you usually see online." Bai Miaomiao paused slightly, thinking and adding a few more details to the little girl.
"——〇光、鹹〇Puppetry and so on. They are now using large puppets about 70 centimeters that need to be controlled by both hands. They are products of technological innovation and are classified into the modern puppetry genre. , even a small number of people in the local area think that this thing does not belong to the puppet show. "
"And most of our traditional puppet shows are still about one foot tall and one-handed. Controlled small puppets. ”
“Limited by factors such as the size of the puppets and traditional craft habits, the details of the small puppets will definitely be slightly less refined than those of the large puppets...and will anyone be willing to take on this job? That’s not true.”
——After all, using this old art that was only used during the temple fair season to shoot a game promotional video... This is probably quite deviant in the eyes of the older generation of inheritors.
Theoretically, they may not be able to accept their idea.
"Xiao Yi, if you really want to take this route to shoot a promotional video, you have to think clearly and find out in advance." Bai Miaomiao worriedly gave Xu Yichi several vaccinations, "Should Not everyone is like Researcher Yang and Ms. Lan. They are so easy to talk to."
"Well, don't worry, Xiaobai, I have expected this." Xu Yichi waved his hands in response, looking as relaxed as ever, "I'll check online first. See if you can find relevant research institutes or conservation agencies Contact information, after we have completely finalized the character design and the plot of chapters one and two, we will try to contact them."
"In this way, it would be best if we can hook up with them directly. , if you really can’t hook up with me...then I’ll ask Dian... Please give Senior Yang a try!”
It’s on the shelves (paralysis). I feel that this plot has more words than I expected. I will probably post as many words as I can this month, and I don’t want to delay it until November. The month is over, I will try my best()
