Chapter 12 Braised Crayfish——Baltan!The suit that was surrounded by everyone as soon as it appeared was very different from the monster in the first episode. It is not strong and even looks a little weak. Only the claws that are almost identical to those of crayfish are eye-catching. So much so that when Joanna saw it for the first time, she even suspected that this was a sudden inspiration for Brother Shen when he was eating crayfish. Afterwards, Shen Ming and the employee in charge of delivery at the prop factory completed the handover and began to explain the secrets to the prop team. For example, a flamethrower hidden in a giant pair of pliers. Seeing this, the suit actors all scrambled to go on stage. The shooting of the special effects part officially began after the suit was in place. "Episode 2, scene 3, shot 10, action!" As the script supervisor pressed the clapboard, the Baltan began to wreak havoc in the city.
A raging flame gushed out from the claws, instantly sweeping across a large area of buildings and streets. The flames rising into the sky frightened everyone. In front of the camera, Shen Ming stared at the screen carefully and was very satisfied with the results. The next thing they filmed together was the battle between the electric monster Nelonga and Ultraman in the third episode. In this battle, a large number of buildings and circuits were also destroyed. The crackling electric sparks were all real, causing the people around to hold their breath and dare not even breathe. Joanna was deeply shocked when she saw special effects shooting for the first time. After this part of the footage ended, Joanna immediately rushed to Shen Ming and asked him questions. "Brother, I remember that many of the shots of monsters destroying houses were close-ups, right? Why can't we use repeated shots instead?" "With just a simple editing, we can save a lot of money on props and models, or do you have other plans for this part, brother?" Joanna spoke very fast, like a machine gun that could not be stopped, and Shen Ming's head hurt a little. Shen Ming made a stop gesture and explained: "The audience may not be able to tell whether the shots are repeated, but if they are a little careful, they can feel that something is wrong. Whether we are directing or filming, we have to be responsible to the audience and cannot fool them." Don't fool the audience. Joanna silently took note of her senior brother's teachings in her heart and continued to follow Shen Ming around, acting as a little tail, occasionally handing him a glass of water or a pen, but her eyes never turned towards the documents on Shen Ming's desk, like a responsible secretary. Shen Ming felt that Teacher Qiao's murderous gaze was about to pierce him. Shen Ming had no choice but to reason with Joanna: "Student Joanna, don't you have to go to class?" Joanna blinked her big, lively eyes and replied, "I just came after class." "." Shen Ming warned himself to stay calm and said coldly, "The crew is a very confidential place. Qiao, you either sign a contract with the crew and become a formal employee, or you will only have one hour of visiting time per week. Now the time is up, please go back." Joanna stood there in silence for a while, lowered her head and whispered, "I know, Brother." Her voice seemed a little nasal.
Could it be that she was crying because of being scolded? After Shen Ming finished speaking, he felt that his tone was a little inappropriate. What if Teacher Qiao comes to settle the score with him? Teacher Qiao’s contract hasn’t been signed yet. What if Teacher Qiao raises his salary? When Shen Ming was troubled by his thoughts, a contract suddenly appeared in front of him—— Joanna's employment contract! "Brother. No, I should call you Director Shen. Director Shen, what do you want me to do?" Joanna smiled brightly. Shen Ming wanted to cover his face speechlessly. The slight sense of guilt that just emerged felt like it was misplaced. The weekend arrived as planned, and the second and third episodes of Ultraman were successfully broadcast. This time, the members of Team Kot left a very deep impression on the audience. As the commander, Captain Zhou Jie always makes correct and appropriate decisions on the situation and is praised by everyone for his stable emotions. In the second episode, facing the elusive Baltan, Yin Chu stuttered because of his timidity, Yu Lan was possessed by a spirit because of his over-braveness, Fu Qiu escaped from danger calmly in the third episode, and the naughty child Xingye who accidentally reversed the situation against Neilonga. They also became the focus of everyone's complaints and debates in the comment section. Of course, Baltan's crayfish-like appearance makes the whole episode seem less scary and more humorous. After having nightmares for two consecutive nights but being woken up by laughter, Joanna finally understood Shen Ming's good intentions. But when she thought about the reason for the destruction of the Baltan people's homeland, Joanna fell into deep thought again. She always felt that Senior Brother Shen was expressing something different in this seemingly innocent way. The Baltans lost their planet due to a nuclear test explosion, so they invaded other planets and plundered their resources. Will there be such a day for the humans on Earth? Joanna was shocked when this idea came to her mind. Then she comforted herself, thinking that how could her senior brother have such a horrible idea, she must be overthinking it. On the other side, Blue Ocean TV. As it was getting close to the end of the get off work day, Lin Yuyan looked at the comments on the computer with a rare heavy expression. Regarding Star TV's new drama "Ultraman", although it has been aired for two weeks, there are only more than a hundred comments and the ratings have only increased by one or two percentage points, but Lin Yuyan still feels uneasy. This feeling of uneasiness reached its peak when he saw the high frequency of discussions under the official account of Star Sky Channel. These are obviously not water armies creating hype, but real users with very high activity levels. In other words, Shen Ming's new drama is gradually attracting people's attention, and this attraction is gradually increasing. Especially since Shen Ming actually invited the highly respected Mr. Qiao to be the male lead, it was only a matter of time before he attracted his fans to break out of the circle. When Chen Lang was about to invite Lin Yuyan to have dinner together after get off work, he saw her staring at the computer with a serious expression. Chen Lang approached the computer in a familiar manner, "Yuyan, what are you looking at so intently?"
He suddenly moved very close to Lin Yuyan, making her feel uncomfortable. "You should have knocked on the door first." Lin Yuyan moved aside unhappily. Chen Lang was so embarrassed that he was about to explain, but he heard Lin Yuyan scold him, "I am your superior first, and your classmate second. What's more, we are not familiar with each other. Please pay attention next time." After that, Lin Yuyan pointed to the door and said, "It's not time to get off work yet, please go back to your workstation." Being scolded by a woman, Chen Lang's face turned red and purple, which was very interesting. He finally left in disgrace. Lin Yuyan took her analysis report and went to the director's office. Chen Lang watched Lin Yuyan's back disappear in the elevator with a resentful look in his eyes. Nothing to be proud of. Director's office. Lin Yuyan analyzed seriously: "Han Channel, Xingkong Channel invited Mr. Qiao Jin to be the male lead in this new drama. I guess they are ambitious and should not be underestimated." When Han Tai heard Qiao Jin's name, his eyes froze. No wonder he invited Qiao Jin to play a guest role before, but Qiao Jin refused so decisively. It turned out that there was a male lead. whispering sound! It's a dream for a piece of old bacon to turn over. Director Han rolled his eyes and thought of a solution. "I'll hand it over to the public relations department. Don't worry." Lin Yuyan nodded and said yes. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Han Tai, Chen Lang has not been paying attention to his work recently. I hope you can make his internship assessment more difficult." Director Han had already seen through Chen Lang's little thoughts and had never intended to keep him. How could there be any scandal about the beautiful and talented director that their Blue Ocean Channel spent a lot of money to create? But this guy is still somewhat useful, so he can't be kicked for now. Han Tai agreed with a smile, "Got it, I'll have him transferred to another group for training." (End of this chapter)
