Eight hundred and fifty-eighth chapter technical requirements
Domestic film and television have always been in a weak state in special effects production. Before Guo Dalu entered the entertainment industry, when Chinese films needed special effects production, they usually found foreign special effects production companies to make them. Generally, they were expensive and some very costly films. The investment in special effects alone may account for more than half of the total investment.
This high cost of special effects production also gives some people a profit margin to take advantage of loopholes.
Many directors within the system will deliberately exaggerate the special effects investment when shooting movies and TV series about special effects, and join forces with foreign companies to cheat money and share the spoils.
Just like a director decided to remake "Journey to the West" some time ago, it is said that this is a big production, and it costs more than one million yuan to the monkey head and face of the character Sun Wukong.
In Guo Dalu's opinion, this monkey head is more than one million, not to mention more than one million yuan, but it is too much for ten thousand yuan. If you issue an invoice of one million, you can say it is one million yuan, because the invoice is placed where it is, proving that people are telling the truth. For such things, you can only listen. Anyway, the country has money, so there is no need for Guo Dalu to worry about it.
However, no matter how rich Tianxi Film and Television is, it cannot be compared with the country. In the future, the company will make movies and TVs, and this special effects production will be indispensable in any case. Many of Guo Dalu's movies are closely related to special effects, so Guo Dalu simply set up a special effects production company himself, mainly serving Tianxi Film and Television's internal services. Of course, he can also take orders from other film and television companies.
When establishing this special effects company, Guo Dalu hired many employees at home and abroad, and then personally explained his production philosophy to them, and even made some special effects he wanted to express. It can be said that his special effects team is already the highest-level team in the world.
However, Guo Dalu found that this team has had a big problem now, that is, it lacks innovation and does not have big ideas. In fact, the hardware is in place and the soft power is in place. In fact, the design concept cannot break the inherent thinking and it is difficult to innovate in technology. This is extremely fatal to the special stunt team.
Just like Guo Dalu now asks them to make a picture of a liquid robot, these guys are a little confused and don’t know how to start, which makes Guo Dalu furious.
This guy who is doing special stunts, Guo Dalu takes one step at the same time, and his technical level is still at the level of the previous year, without any progress, which disappointed Guo Dalu.
"I'll give you ten days. If you can't think of a solution within ten days, everyone's bonus this month will be deducted!"
Guo Dalu shouted in front of many people in the special effects team: "I want you not to be used for decoration. I have made a request. You must try to do it for me. If you still can't do the special effects I want, you can simply merge with the 3d imaging company. If I find technicians for naked-eye 3d imaging, they will help me with this technology within one day. Do you believe it?"
At this time, China's naked-eye 3D technology has reached the point of being fake and real, and its application in the military and civilian fields is becoming more and more popular, but there are still some shortcomings in subtle aspects. If 3D is allowed to make movie special effects, it is actually a bit inappropriate in front of the movie lens that has extremely strict requirements on the camera.
This is also the reason why Guo Dalu is unwilling to let 3d projectors do special effects. After all, this technology needs to be adjusted in details. However, in a few years, I believe that 3d projector technology will definitely replace the special effects team. This is a major trend and is inevitable.
Guo Dalu understands this trend, and the people of the special effects company also understand that what they are most worried about is the arrival of this day. If they are merged by the projector, their presence and work nature will be greatly adjusted. This is simply a disaster for them, and they cannot even avoid it, because this is a major trend in the industry. Unless they leave these majors, they will only have the fate of being merged.
Now that he heard Guo Dalu's ultimatum, all the technicians of the special effects company looked disgusted and were extremely panicked.
After Guo Dalu left, the general manager looked extremely ugly and said to everyone: "Brothers and sisters, whether our company can maintain independence depends on everyone's efforts. Starting today, work overtime until you can make works that are satisfactory to Mr. Guo. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to leave later!"
Sometimes it is really effective to be strict with subordinates. Just after Guo Dalu issued an ultimatum to the special effects production team, these guys really thought of a solution. On the last day of Guo Dalu's inspection results, the team finally made a group of the liquid renderings that Guo Dalu wanted.
Although it only takes one or two seconds to see, it means they have indeed found the right path.
"The little tree will not be cut or straight!"
After seeing the scenes made by these people, Guo Dalu sighed: "It's true that there is still a lack of motivation. You must add tasks to you in the future. Use your brains to think about your breakthrough in technology!"
The special effects production staff were timid and relieved. If Guo Dalu was not satisfied, they might have been disbanded.
The shooting can only be carried out after the special effects meet the requirements.
The special effects of this movie were already finished when Guo Dalu was filming the first film, but the appearance method had to be done again. Guo Changgeng was even more so. However, he was naked before the camera, which made Guo Changgeng very hurt. During the filming, many people watched the fun. For several days, when these guys looked at Guo Changgeng, their eyes couldn't help but look at him down the road.
The mother of Ma Rui, played by Song Qian, is the heroine in the first movie. When filming this movie, she was specially decorated as a middle-aged woman by a makeup artist, but she is still strong, haggard but has a charm. Compared with the first movie, this second movie requires more acting skills to support her. After all, the plot in a psychiatric hospital is not something that can be passed by just acting. The sense of conflict must be in place. Fortunately, Song Qian's acting skills have soared several levels now, and even the title of an international actress queen has won the title of "the tension and conflict" for him.
The rest is about the young actor Shao Wenfeng.
In order to make the young actor Shao Wenfeng adapt to the crew's shooting, Guo Dalu specially asked the shooting progress to be as slow as possible. Although Shao Wenfeng is smart, he has never learned to perform after all. During the shooting, he must slowly adapt to the rhythm of the shooting and changes in dialogue and expressions.
Of course, it is mainly to overcome the tension of performing live. A person who has never learned to perform, crying, shouting, and struggling desperately under the watch of so many people, is a psychological challenge to people.
For newcomers like Shao Wenfeng who have no experience in shooting for the first time, many people can't help but look in the direction of the camera. It took Shao Wenfeng a week to overcome this problem and then slowly got used to it.
When filming a fight, Guo Dalu had a requirement compared to Guo Changgeng, who played the villain robot. He must be steady, accurate and ruthless during the fight! Don’t have any fancy martial arts moves, rolling in the air, piercing the feet, and other moves, just use the fighting style of ordinary people on the streets and alleys, but you must have a ruthless momentum, so that people can feel the power of his punches and kicks through the camera.
This is even more true when Guo Dalu was fighting. He walked steadily and made heavy moves. Every move or look showed a cold smell. There was no expression at all when the audience came.
But his expression was just cold and not fierce. The liquid robot played by Guo Changgeng showed a great murderous intent and cruel smell in his eyes. Just by looking at the eyes, the audience could distinguish who is better and who is worse.
As a warrior, Guo Changgeng has a murderous aura unique to martial arts masters. After appearing on the scene with murderous aura, the photographers felt cold in their necks. Shao Wenfeng, who played Ma Rui, was frightened and didn't dare to talk to Guo Changgen when he was resting on the set. His eyes were dodging when he looked at Guo Changgeng.
Guo Changgeng complained to Guo Dalu with helpless expression: "Look, you have to make me so fierce. Now, I'm scaring the children!"
Guo Dalu laughed: "This is just enough! After filming this drama, the title of your villain supporting role will definitely become more and more popular."
ps: The famous villain martial arts actor Ji Chunhua passed away. I feel very sorry. I watched many movies of him when I was a child and was very impressed by the role he played, but I never knew his name. I am old. With the popularity of entertainment information and the spread of self-media, I learned his name. This person has gone, I hope he can go all the way.
