Luo Ning's new drama was officially launched in April. Due to the limited funding for the crew, it was relatively economical in all aspects. Of course, there was no money to go to the Lyra Film and Television City to shoot, and the shooting location became the biggest problem.
Luo Ning was in college when he wrote "Digital Code", so this book also tells a story that happened on a college campus.
It started when a female student jumped from the top floor of the library on a winter morning, splashing blood on the spot, scaring many passing classmates. Everyone immediately called the police. The police car drove into the campus, and the captain of the criminal police found a note in the deceased's pocket with a line of strange numbers written on it. Two numbers are missing.
The police officially filed a case for investigation. After a detailed analysis and investigation, it was found that the female student had depression and had been taking medication for depression. She seldom communicated with her classmates, and she did not have any disputes with anyone. Since no other clues could be found, the identification of the traces on the roof of the library also looked like suicide, so the police decided to close the case by suicide.
But the male protagonist, the captain of the criminal police, always felt uneasy in his heart. He kept thinking about the meaning of the string of numbers, but he still couldn't understand it.
On the same day that the criminal police team evacuated the school and decided to close the case by suicide, another male student jumped off the roof of the library, also holding a note with a strange number written on it.
The case immediately became confusing.
After a detailed investigation, the police still could not find any useful clues, but the boy was also depressed, and the trace identification was suicide.
The male protagonist finally decided to start with the numbers in the hands of the deceased, and invited top students from the mathematics department of a famous school to assist in analyzing the digital password.
The case became more and more bizarre, and the mystery of the numbers was finally solved until the fifth dead person appeared.
Luo Ning's reasoning novel is actually quite big, and Qin Yi was amazed at the talent of this newcomer when he first read it. Of course, I was inexperienced in writing books at the beginning, Luo Ning was not able to grasp the rhythm when unraveling the suspense, and there were a few bugs, readers may feel regret after reading it.
But this time, Luo Ning personally participated in the adaptation of the movie. The tedious plots in the original work were simplified and screened, and a more reasonable password calculation process was added later, which made the plot of the whole drama more full and logical. rigorous.
It doesn't matter even if the investment is low, because it does not have the big war scenes like "Feng Mars Chen", nor does it have the high-tech special effects like "The Replicant Project". It's just a simple "campus suspense and reasoning drama" with not many scenes, such as dormitory, teaching building, library, forensic autopsy room, criminal police office, etc. scenes are very easy to build, even if you don't go to the film and television city, you can shoot.
Yu Cheng immediately decided to cooperate with a little-known second-class university in the suburbs of Capital Star and shoot directly at the school.
In the real campus scene, as soon as the extras grabbed a lot of them, they asked students from any class to come over to help, pack lunch and give some pocket money.
The actors lived together in the school's humble hostel, as if they were back in college.
Luo Ning and Yu Cheng live in a dormitory. Yu Cheng's personality is very carefree, he never thought that Luo Ning was an Omega, and discussed the plot with Luo Ning seriously all day long with a "good brother" attitude.
This film is not a thriller, so Yu Cheng wanted to minimize the bloody and violent scenes as much as possible, but to maximize the suspenseful and tense atmosphere.
One young student after another died, and the investigation by the criminal police team was difficult, and it seemed that there was always a pair of eyes watching them from behind.
Strange numbers appear one after another. What secrets are hidden behind these numbers
As long as the atmosphere is in place, the audience will naturally be attracted.
Luo Ning agreed with Director Yu's idea, and also put forward some opinions: "Music is very important to create the atmosphere. If the music of this kind of suspense film is not selected well, it will be difficult for the audience to be brought in. Since we are selecting actors After saving a lot of money, why not hire some professional music production teams to tailor the post-production soundtrack for the show? What do you think, Director Yu?”
Yu Cheng's face was full of excitement, and he slapped his thigh: "I think so too! Funds are limited, so we have to plan carefully. Actors and venues save a lot of money, and the later stage and soundtrack can't be ambiguous. The music team... is the most powerful film soundtrack. It's IDO studio, I'll contact them another day. In addition, do you have a favorite singer for the theme song? I want to invite someone to create a nice theme song, and the best theme song can be popular!"
Luo Ning said: "I can try to write words."
Yu Cheng was as if he had picked up a huge sum of money on the road, and his face was full of surprise: "You can still write words?!"
Luo Ning nodded: "When I knew that the show was going to be turned into a movie, I had an idea for the theme song in my heart. I am the original author, I know what this show wants to express, and I have already written the lyrics. I have a first draft, but I don't know how to arrange music, and the writing is not very professional, can you take it to a professional music producer to revise it?"
Yu Cheng clapped his hands vigorously: "No problem! I'll find someone."
The two discussed these matters in the dormitory every night, but they soon became good friends.
Luo Ning didn't mind that Yu Dao was an Alpha, anyway, with Qin Yize in his heart, he didn't feel anything when he saw other Alphas. Besides, after taking the inhibitor, they wouldn't have any pheromone influence on each other, and their actions didn't have any effect. Intimacy, openly be a friend.
But Luo Ning doesn't mind, it doesn't mean Qin Yi doesn't mind!
Li Xin was well-rounded in the circle, and soon found out that the "Digital Code" crew was filming on the university campus of Xinghua'an College in the capital. The whole crew lived in the hostel arranged by the school, and Luo Ning lived with the director.
Qin Yi immediately felt a sense of crisis.
The director he met in Lanyuewan was called Yu Cheng, a handsome young Alpha, and Luo Ning also said in person, "You are such a handsome director, what should the actors do?" Although there are polite ingredients, but that Alpha looks really not bad.
How could Luo Ning live with him? How does this work!
After Qin Yi knew the news, he was so anxious that he could not wait to fly over immediately.
Li Xin patted his shoulder helplessly, and said, "It's just living together, the double room is fine, right? Don't you believe Luo Ning?"
Qin Yi frowned and said, "Of course I believe in Luo Ning, but I don't believe that Yu Cheng."
After a pause, he said solemnly: "By the way, Li Xin, please help me contact the "Digital Code" crew and say that I am a fan of this book and want to play a cameo role. No money, pure friendship Cameo."
Li Xin's expression immediately collapsed: "Are you crazy?"
Qin Yi said calmly: "I'm not crazy. Anyway, Luo Ning lived with that director for a month, I'm not at ease."
Vinegar, this is definitely a vinegar.
Li Xin rubbed his temples with a headache: "Didn't you say that you want to give yourself a long vacation after filming Fengmaochen? In two days, Fengmaochen will be finished. Why don't you have a vacation?"
Qin Yi said righteously: "I am on vacation to accompany Luo Ning. If I am on vacation and Luo Ning is in the crew, what is the meaning of my vacation?"
Li Xin was stunned for a while, but was actually persuaded by his crooked reasoning.
After a long time, Li Xincai sighed softly and hesitated: "However, the actors in their crew are almost all selected. The starring list has been announced on the Internet. If you want to make a cameo appearance, you must have a cameo role for you!"
Qin Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "There is a villain who doesn't have a lot of roles, so I shouldn't have chosen it yet."
Li Xin's expression shattered again: "You don't want the pay, go to the 18th-tier small crew to guest star as a villain?!"
Qin Yi raised his eyebrows: "I haven't played the villain yet, so I've decided to improve my acting skills by the way."
Li Xin: "..."
