Chapter 244 Blue Sky Special Effects Studio
This side also needs a good person to be responsible. Wang Zhengfei handed it over to Liu Yu, which shows that he is very reassuring.
However, it turns out that it is not unreasonable for Wang Zhengfei to be so relieved about Liu Yu. Wang Zhengfei looked at the primary version cut by Liu Yu and was very satisfied, which basically matched his meaning, and he has roughly connected all the clips together and also made some general technical processing, saving I went to Wang Zhengfei to see the pain of porn.
"Very good, very good!" Wang Zhengfei said with satisfaction that it is only a preliminary version now, which adds up to more than 150 minutes. When the film is officially released, it will probably lose 30 minutes, and only 120 minutes will be left. As for the rest, it will only be the essence.
"Well done!" There is nothing to be picky about Wang Zhengfei. Basically, it is very good to be able to do such a version. As for the more detailed work, we have to wait for Wang Zhengfei, the director, to be responsible for it.
In addition to the regular problems such as the editing and dubbing of the picture, there is another very important part in post-production, which is the post-production of special effects.
Especially for the martial arts blockbuster "Qin Shi Ming Yue", the performance of martial arts is absolutely inseparable from the application of special effects, as well as all kinds of gorgeous fighting movements, and various powers of flying away from the sky and the earth are also inseparable from the later special effects.
This is the first time for Wang Zhengfei to contact a special effects company. In the past, when "Immortality", Wang Zhengfei did not need the production of post-production special effects. After all, although it is known as a science fiction film, it is mixed with various academic discussions. To put it bluntly, it is actually a TV series that sells dog meat with a sheep's head, but It's a lot of needs this time, and Wang Zhengfei doesn't dare to do it casually.
As early as when he was shooting Qin Shi Ming Yue, Wang Zhengfei had asked Gao Yan to find a suitable stunt company. Finally, Gao Yan chose a stunt company called Technicolor for Wang Zhengfei.
According to the data given by Gao Yan, Technicolor is a visual effects technology company with international production standards. It has a history of specializing in post-production technical services for film and television in Hollywood for 90 years. It provides technical production and services for about 200 films for Hollywood every year. Its subsidiary It is distributed in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Thailand, etc.
Technicolor's production team is composed of professionals with rich experience in film and television post-production. Some very classic international blockbusters, such as Alien and Harry. The special effects of films such as Porter 1-5 Trojan Horse, Tomb Raider, Batman, Da Vinci Code, X-Men III, Poseidon and other films are all under the responsibility of Technicolor and has won many Oscar technical awards.
Even Technicolor's subsidiary in the mainland, Viewpoint Art Number Company, has successively produced visual effects for the movies Night Banquet, Full City with Golden Armor, and Gathering. These films have provided a very shocking audio-visual effect for domestic audiences, and have also achieved good box office results.
According to the information given by Gao Yan, Gao Yan thinks that this company is more suitable. It is not that he has not done post-production before, but relatively speaking, there are much fewer special effects in post-production, but this time, there are many places in "Qin Shi Ming Yue" that need to use special effects. Naturally, it is necessary to Find a professional company to do it, and this Technicolor company is still the first-class special effects.
Although there is a saying that 90% of the world's special effects are concentrated in Hollywood in the United States, and 90% of the special effects in Hollywood in the United States are concentrated in DreamWorks, in fact, relatively speaking, other companies also have good technology. Even domestic stunts are not as much as outsiders think. As Wang Zhengfei knows, in today's developed society, it is difficult for computer technology to form a real monopoly. It basically has advantages, but it is impossible to completely monopolize and leave others behind.
And the later computer stunts are the same. The domestic technology is not as bad as ordinary people think. So what causes the special effects that all the audience look so rough? To put it bluntly, there is still no money. Not to mention the salary gap between domestic and foreign technicians, the key is that the domestic one is public. The company is not willing to invest much money. The movie is not bad. After all, it is only about 100 minutes. Among them, the place where stunts need to be used is only dozens of minutes. There can be more sufficient funds to use it, but the TV is different. The place where stunts need to be used is more than ten times to dozens of times that of the movie, and the investment Well, it's usually only a fraction of the movie. In this case, how can film and television companies spend a lot of money on stunts, and they all think so. Anyway, everyone is like this. If the audience doesn't accept it, they have to accept it. Audiences who have no choice can only choose to accept it, so it seems that the stunt is particularly bad. In fact, Otherwise, as long as you are willing to feed money, domestic stunt companies can also make a first-class effect, which is enough, because after all, although special effects are important, they are not all, just like the hair of the characters in Final Fantasy can reach half of real people, which is wonderful, but As soon as the audience doesn't buy it, the box office will be the same.
And this time, the investment of "Qin Shi Mingyue" Star Entertainment Company is 30 million, which is almost comparable to the investment of ordinary TV series. Even Zhang Jizhong's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is a so-called big production, the investment is only 45,000 million. Star Entertainment has invested 30 million yuan in stunts in one go. Yes, it's a huge investment.
Use 30 million to create a luxurious visual enjoyment, and absolutely use this money on the blade. Even if it is not enough, Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan can continue to invest.
In short, Wang Zhengfei will never allow the crude situation that is usually encountered in China to happen to him.
After confirming that there was no problem with Liu Yu's editing, Wang Zhengfei left for the Mainland branch of Technicolor. He had already talked with the boss of the company, and then talked about the production of this stunt.
Wang Zhengfei didn't take anyone else. He went on the road alone. After a traffic jam, he finally rushed to Technicolor.
As soon as I arrived at the door of Technicolor, I saw a quarrel. Two young men and women were indignant at Technicolor.
"It's too much. I, Yang Guang, swear, you will regret treating us like this!" The mouth was opened by a young man in his twenties, with a good face full of indignation.
"Photon, let's go. Sooner or later, Technicolor will regret it!" Next to the young man named Yang Guang, there is a baby-faced girl with a pair of watery big eyes.
The girl's face was also indignant, and she was holding a CD in her snow-white hand.
Seeing that the two were still chattering, the security guard of Technicolor Company was quite impatient. One of them said, "You two are endless. We have said that our boss is not here. What a blue sky special effects studio, don't you see where we are? It's ridiculous to come here to us to promote your technology!"
Another security guard next toalso laughed presumptuously. It seemed that he didn't pay attention to these two people at all.
"Frog in the well, although you Technicolor are a first-class company in China, although our blue sky special effects have not been established for a long time, they will never be worse than you. What do you know!" Yang Guang said angrily.
"Yes, we don't know anything. We just look at the gate, so don't talk nonsense here anymore, or I'll beat you!" The security guard also said angrily.
"Photon, why do you talk to them so much? Let's go, there will always be companies that know how to appreciate our technology!" The girl pulled Yang Guang's sleeve and said.
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Wang Zhengfei suddenly said, "Please stay!"
In the doubtful eyes of the two, Wang Zhengfei quickly walked to the two and said, "I don't know if you are a production post-production studio!"
"Yemp!" Yang Guang nodded and said.
"I don't know what you two call me. My name is Wang Zhengfei!" Wang Zhengfei took the lead in introducing himself and stared at the two people.
What is the most expensive in the 21st century? Talents, no matter what kind of talent, are talents, and these two people are obviously the talents Wang Zhengfei needs the most later special effects now.
"Wang, Wang Zhengfei... You are Wang Zhengfei!" The girl took the lead in recognizing Wang Zhengfei. Originally, Wang Zhengfei still wore a pair of wide-brimmed sunglasses. If she hadn't looked carefully, it would have been difficult to recognize Wang Zhengfei. Now that Wang Zhengfei introduced her like this and walked to the two, she was naturally easily recognized.
"Yes, I'm Wang Zhengfei!" Wang Zhengfei nodded with a smile. Now his name is very loud, and it is not surprising that others know him.
"Hello, Mr. Wang Zhengfei, my name is Yang Guang (this role is guest starred by Sanhuo), this is my partner, my name is Fang Yuner (this role is guest starred by Liu Hu)!" After all, Yang Guang was still more sophisticated than the girl. He immediately reacted and introduced himself.
