Making Special: My Heart | 卿卿我心 | Cheng Xiao 程潇, Jason Gu Jiacheng 谷嘉诚 | iQiyi
[My Heart] [Production Featurette] Because the background of this story says… [Director, Ren Haiyao] something about the magic power. [Thin strip of sky] They have designed a place called Thin strip of sky. The other place before the Thin strip of sky was the Qiyuan continent, a place with the magic power.
Then No Magic Valley is a place where the magic power is not used. So when it comes to filming, the two places are different. There is no magic power in the No Magic Valley, That scene was relatively easy to shoot. Many of the actors on the Qiyuan continent use the magic power,
So a lot of animation and CG will be added to it. First of all, No Magic Valley is a place that does not have the magic power, so we try to make it as simple and natural as possible [Art Director, Liu Ziyi] in the art style.
The choice of materials used to build the scene, as well as the style of architecture and furniture style are more lifelike. But Qiyuan continent is a place where people’s daily life is based on the magic power, it is actually a very prosperous city. So I used some more gorgeous lines and decorations.
Then the overall color palette is also based on clashing colors. Our initial positioning is that [Styling Director, Liu Qian] the overall tone should be very fresh, so I actually used a lot of morandi colors in the overall color palette this time. Morandi colors are the kind that are not very highly saturated,
But also not very heavy or very pure colors. One, two, three! Missed the target at all. This TV series may give the audiences the feeling that [Martial Arts Director, Li Xiaohui] even the fighting episodes are not that heavy. One, two, three! Go! Nangong’s Sword! Come here. The sword goes around the hand.
After the sword circled around the hand, it flies out. You get hurt and then go out of the shot. They have the magic power. They have magic power, right? And not that it is to fight for the sake of fighting. First sword strike, then go out of the shot.
Most of the time it is still necessary to follow the storyline, or to see what we need for each scene. Quiet, don’t talk. Kids, I have arranged seats for you all, sit down and do not move around. When I tell you to go over there, just go over there and don’t eat anymore.
-All right, baby? -Yeah. Walk over quickly. The second kid can go now. Hurry up! Hurry up! Xiaoyi don’t laugh. Don’t laugh. Don’t laugh. Good! Stop! One more shot! Nobody looked at her. Look at her when she’s talking. When this sister speaks look at her. Take the whole bag. Take the whole bag.
Take the whole bag. Come on, take another shot. Come back. When shooting this TV series, the director’s greatest fear is the three major difficulties. Children, animals, and group actors. Crowd go! Crowd go! Go this way. This way is all empty. Tell the crowd to walk again. The back is too empty.
Animals are indeed quite troublesome. Because there are many animals in this TV series. Get it back! Get it back! I remember one episode that I shot from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm. That episode was related to shooting rabbits. And I was shooting rabbits . Why is it not moving? Put a carrot
On the left hand side of the rabbit, just over there. All over again. My blood pressure got high that day. There’s no way around it, because we can’t control rabbits. The goal is to capture its demeanor, which really requires us to capture carefully. Take the time to shoot. One more shot.
It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s time for Xiaoxiao to come over. [Director, Yuan Shuwei] It is really disobedient. That rabbit really… It didn’t do what it’s told. It kept running around. We spent a lot of time to shoot it. Chase it! Chase it! It won’t eat, what should I do? That fox is real,
It’s not made of computer effects. The heroine Cheng Xiao was going to touch this fox. Why did you come here again? It’s so unsettling that you’re always running around. OK. Cut. Good. So sometimes it’s really hard to shoot animals. [Very fresh] Very fresh [Close to life] Close to life.
[Not that it is to fight for the sake of fighting.] Not that it is to fight for the sake of fighting. [We will use lots of CG] We will use lots of CG. I think love TV series, the first is the picture should be very beautiful. Lighting, photography, art, costumes
And all the images are the kind of pictures that young people like to see. [My Heart]
