This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 117 Crazy and Fascinating

Han Sanpin swallowed hard to moisten his dry throat, and glanced at Chen Yuan, whose smugness was impossible to hide.

Even he, who had always been a staunch opponent of Chen Yuan's willful and reckless behavior, began to understand Chen Yuan!

Fan Binbin's beauty has become a consensus across the country, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, thanks to the instigation of Chen Yuan.

No matter how much some experts and media say that she is not a traditional beauty, that her fox-like features make her look petty, and that her eyebrows are uneven, they cannot change her public image.

After the hit series "Legend of Seven Swords", Fan Binbin's status is now comparable to that of the so-called "Four Little Actresses".

Not only are Fan Binbin's music videos everywhere, but Yuan Yuzhou has also proudly published a deluxe edition of "The Seven Swords Makeup Instructions".

The above records the makeup and costume designs for all the female characters in "Legend of Seven Swords," and of course, three-quarters of them were designed by Fan Binbin.

A reporter interviewed Chen Yuan about why he published "The Makeup Instructions for Seven Swords".
Chen Yuan shamelessly said that the recent TV drama market is booming, and some poorly made productions by underfunded crews and those just trying to ride the wave of popularity are rampant.
To cultivate the public's aesthetic standards and to help costume drama production teams that lack sufficient makeup and costume design capabilities, he specially published this book. The makeup and costume designs in it can be used freely, and he does not charge copyright fees.

Media opinions on this are mixed. The costumes in "Legend of Seven Swords" are indeed exquisite and beautiful, pleasing to the eye.

But most people suspect that Chen Yuan's motive is probably just to show off his beautiful girlfriend!
The "Seven Swords Makeup Instructions" is not cheap, after all, the printing costs are there, and the thick, heavy book costs 260 yuan.

However, it sold exceptionally well and was reprinted multiple times. The vast majority of buyers were not people working in the film and television industry, but rather fans who became fans of Fan Binbin because of Blue Moon, as well as professionals in photo studios and wedding photography shops.

Many photo studios have launched the Blue Moon Classic style, and quite a few people are buying this service.

Han Sanpin thought that Chen Yuan had done his best for Fan Binbin, but he never expected that Chen Yuan's talent in pampering women and picking up girls was no less than his marketing and investment-attracting abilities!

Fan Binbin's look, well, it's just not how people should look in this era!

It's absolutely stunning, captivating, and makes you want to know the story behind this image!
He underestimated Chen Yuan; Chen Yuan really has some skills to dare to challenge Columbia!

If there is anyone in this world who can fully unleash Fan Binbin's charm, that person could only be Chen Yuan.

Hopefully, his camera work will perfectly capture the character's essence and satisfy the Americans!
Chen Yuan's look was more ordinary compared to Binbin's: a modified mohawk, a bright yellow jacket, loose cropped pants, and sneakers.

However, this simple look, combined with Chen Yuan's sunny and handsome face, does fit the image of a naive and inexperienced student.

This yellow coat that David's mother left him had a lot of leather padding and soft wire added inside to make it look more stylish, making it very uncomfortable to wear.

For now, we'll leave it like this as an emergency measure. We'll make better costumes later once the "Edge Walker" production team is officially formed.

In the scene where Lucy escapes with David on a stretcher, Chen Yuan basically followed the storyboard settings from the anime.

In just over a minute, Lucy's personality and charm are fully displayed, showcasing a range of emotions from coolness and laughter to madness. Because this scene takes place in a tunnel, with moving roads and vehicles, filming on location was extremely difficult.

Chen Yuan used a shooting method that combined filming of stretcher vehicles in a green screen studio with simulated traffic flow in a real tunnel.

Classic cyberpunk worlds are always filled with ubiquitous neon billboards, holographic projections, and other artificial light sources.

The dazzling neon lights contrast sharply with the dilapidated and violent urban corners, perfectly interpreting the core conflict of cyberpunk: "high-end technology and low-end life," presenting a decadent and dilapidated aesthetic.

The Edge Walker also inherits this characteristic, with light and shadow creating a unique, strong, and unforgettable style for the animation.

This scene in the anime makes extensive use of lighting from different angles to create a mesmerizing effect that allows the audience to immediately see that David has fallen in love.

Chen Yuan had practically run into sparks from discussing the [Professional Veteran] skill.
He collaborated with two renowned lighting technicians whom Han Sanpin had found for him, and they put a lot of effort into the lighting and shadow changes for each shot.
Chen Yuan calls it 'human ray tracing,' and if ordinary people saw how serious they were, they would probably call them 'lighting immortals.'

From Lucy asking David which nerve suppressant she was using to Lucy's cool foot-stopping maneuver, the edited sequence totals 1 minute and 15 seconds.

Chen Yuan mobilized nearly a hundred people, with only Chen Yuan, Binbin, and a chubby, dark-skinned woman who spoke fluent Cantonese as actors. He also invited several veteran industry professionals to help him, and it took 10 days to complete the filming.

The post-production special effects took another week, and it took almost half a month in total to finally produce this scene of Binbin's audition for "The Edge Walker".

Chen Guofu thought Chen Yuan had given up and kept calling to say that he would wait a little longer.

Chen Guofu was very anxious because Chen Yuan had missed such a valuable opportunity to work with a top Hollywood studio due to his willful and reckless behavior. Chen Guofu himself felt sorry for Chen Yuan.

I flew directly from Taiwan to the capital to see what was going on with Chen Yuan, just in time to witness the rendering being completed and the final product being released.

Chen Guofu was thoroughly stunned by the avant-garde makeup and styling that Chen Yuan designed for Fan Binbin, but after watching the entire one-minute-and-fifteen-second clip, he remained silent for a long time.

I just sat in the small theater provided by China Film Group and watched it repeatedly with other people.

Chen Guofu couldn't help but recall the scene in Japan when Chen Yuanqiang insisted on proving him right, and he was truly moved!
The storyboard is fragmented but not chaotic, the pacing is tight and well-organized, and the overall style is exceptionally dreamlike and dazzling. Is this even human?

Although you, Chen Yuan, invited many senior industry professionals to help you, how did you come up with such passionate and dynamic visuals?

Given Chen Yuan's past illustrious record, Chen Guofu had already overestimated Chen Yuan, but he realized that he had underestimated Chen Yuan's abilities!
It perfectly captures Lucy's powerful, insane, and corrupting qualities!

It's truly unexpected that Chen Yuan would create such an 'exotic atmosphere'!
Fan Binbin's image is truly, truly captivating!
He is an experienced producer, and he anticipates that the avant-garde art style Chen Yuan has established for the film will be very popular among young people.

Even if this one-minute-plus video is released as a trailer and properly promoted, it has a very high chance of causing a sensation among young movie fans!

Even if Columbia Pictures doesn't invest, there's still a possibility that it will attract investment from other Hollywood studios!
