Chapter 522 The top team
"Is this a model of a triceratops?"
Wang Meng looked at the model with his eyes lit up, followed by Gu Gaoyi and Jackson, a person in charge of the digital field.
"Yes, Director Wang, it's very beautiful, look! It's so skinny. If it is paired with special effects, he will definitely surprise the world." Jackson said.
This Jackson is Gu Gaoyi's old friend. He is unshaven and dressed a little sloppy.
However, as Gu Gaoyi said in the play, this person is crazyer than him, and he is a family of three generations of props.
After this generation had more advanced special effects, he began to focus on the production of model special effects and was a well-known expert in the special effects industry.
"It's very good. I hope these ancient monsters can shock the world." Wang Meng nodded.
Looking at the huge production room, there are many dinosaur skeletons, although some have skeletons, and some have only one component.
But after seeing the first model they made, Wang Meng was very satisfied.
These guys will shoot with the actors in the studio.
Of course, pure special effects can also be made, and there is no need to create models, but the ones that make models will have more texture.
The special effects will be very different, and the production of special effects can be reduced. In addition, these models can be placed in the theme park after shooting.
Of course, the biggest goal is to save time.
After all, special effects take time.
It all depends on special effects, not only on the texture, but also a long time. With these models, the designs drawn on paper can be presented in a substantial way.
To sum up…?
[The biggest significance of these models is not shooting, but reference, and subsequent display value.]
These models are produced for reference data and displayed in the future when promoting them. Few people actually use shooting.
Everyone should understand.
However, Wang Meng personally requires that in order to make excellence, things that can be made with special effects are needed to create real models. The biggest point in shooting these models is the data of the special effects and the simulation of the actors with real objects.
Take "Avatar" as an example. In "Avatar", computer animation scenes account for 60% and 3,000 special stunt shots, which is unprecedented.
In the studio, the actors wore tightly marked Lycra uniforms, and 102 cameras on the roof could identify the marks, and in the hats that were close to their scalp, there were small cameras that could image their faces.
There are no jungle, no monsters, no aliens, and actors are performing performances without opponents. In the camera of director Cameron, the live performances of the actors and the CG camera of the aliens can be presented synchronously and continuously, creating interaction. This "synchronous shot" technology is the new technology that Cameron has been waiting for for years.
Wang Meng will still use these technologies and will also shoot like this.
But don't forget how much time Cameron took, the 20-minute special effects shot in the film "drained his 14-year effort". Of course, this is the time to wait for the technology to mature.
It's mature now.
However, despite being mature, this requirement for high specifications for actors does not take a long time and cannot achieve perfect synchronization.
Moreover, data is data, and special effects can not be produced by looking at the data. It requires a little correction. Maybe just one dinosaur tail needs to be modified hundreds of times.
In that case, it will be difficult to complete a "Jurassic World" in more than a year.
Unfortunately, Wang Meng lacks time.
You can only make models, and then everything has accurate data, and then make these models into special effects. This can reduce the time a lot.
Moreover, these models can also allow actors to simulate "real scenes" and can be more proficient when shooting synchronizes, and it will also reduce a lot of time.
Finally, these models can be completely made into a theme park model. Don’t forget that Wang Meng also has the shares of ‘Sunday Theme Park’.
Don’t think that a special effects movie is that simple. After being completed, you can’t exaggerate it even if you brag.
Of course, it is easy for you to get some special effects for 50 cents, but it is not what Wang Meng wants.
A special effects movie mainly depends on how many special effects shots there are. There are many special effects shots, which naturally takes a long time.
Take Wang Meng's "Jurassic World" as an example. Computer animation scenes account for 68%, and special effects are more than 1,800.
Although there are many computer animation scenes, there are few special effects shots.
After all, the film length is different. "Avatar" was a movie that lasted nearly three hours.
Wang Meng's "Jurassic World" can be at most over two hours.
The model is being produced and the animation scenes are being produced. After the animation scene is completed, the shooting will be performed simultaneously with the actors.
The special effects are also being produced. Everything is waiting for June. After the plot of Wang Meng in "The Matrix" was almost the same, Wang Meng will immediately produce "Jurassic World", which will have actors synchronization and special effects.
It can be said that "Jurassic World" has started production, but it has not yet been found for actors.
It’s not incredible. In fact, this kind of special effects movie is like this. The actors are very important, but they account for a small proportion. The real scenes of the scene will also begin to be filmed everywhere, and special effects will be synthesized after the scene.
Anyway, it is definitely a very troublesome thing.
Fortunately, I am my own dream, and the group of people led by Gu Gaoyi know how to make progress in my work.
And? James Cameron's "Avatar" team is also familiar with the technology used, and build it first and then shoot it, everything is in an orderly manner.
Wang Meng has read every detail many times, so I feel relieved.
After four or five days in the special effects crew, Wang Meng learned a lot.
No. 15.
Wang Meng watched the final work of "Xu Xiake's Ancient Mysterious Mirror". "Xu Xiake" is expected to be completed in a few days. The special effects were produced as early as the filming began. It is expected that it will be completed in the later stage at least until May.
The Propaganda Department of DreamWorks discussed with the screening department and was expected to be released in mid-June.
"Kung Fu Panda", which has been produced for more than a year, is still being produced in the Dream Resurrection Old Base. It is expected that the filming will be completed in two months at the latest. The filming department plans to be released in July or early August.
Wang Meng spent a whole morning to check out the later "Xu Xiake's Ancient Mysterious Mirror" and spent another half a day watching "Kung Fu Panda".
These two works were difficult to produce, but they finally ended.
Especially for the production of "Kung Fu Panda" for more than a year, it is necessary to increase the number of people and cooperate with external forces to produce it in more than a year.
At that time, it was expected that it would take at least three years for the Dream Special Effects to make this animated movie by myself.
Fortunately, the funds are sufficient and you can grit your teeth and make it, but the estimated production cost of 80 million US dollars will increase to at least 100 million US dollars.
Except for these three movies, the other Wang Meng didn't care.
The horror master Liu Zhiyuan was idle for a while and filmed a horror movie made by himself. Wang Meng didn't know what this guy could do.
Ning Hao also started filming his "No Man's Land".
The TV version of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" filmed last year has been aired and has responded quite well. It has also created a sync between online broadcast and TV broadcast.
The movie version of Urshan has also started to be produced, but this guy is very slow and slow? He is quite calm.
Xu Zheng plans to act in a few movies first. After "Lost in the Road", this guy has no inspiration yet.
Wang Meng did not inform him of "Lost in Thailand" in advance.
First, I am too busy and I can’t take care of it. Second, when I reach this point, there is really no need to plan the prospects for others. It’s better to let them develop freely.
Besides, I was a little too persistent before.
What he thought before was to change the situation of Chinese films with himself.
So I always write scripts for others and always feel that I am very ‘Holy Mother’.
But I slowly thought about it, how much did I write the script by myself?
You can't just do nothing, write scripts for others to shoot all day long, right?
Just make a few of them, and it will be overwhelming!
Unless you are so stupid that one person writes hundreds of works, then? It’s not far from being sliced.
It’s better to ‘let go fly’ and make some sensationality by yourself, and then make others eager to do this with yourself, instead of licking the face and sending them a script begging them: ——Print, shoot, make Chinese movies stronger.
That way? It is definitely not really powerful, but an illusion made up by oneself.
It’s better to make a sensational nature yourself and let them learn experience. People are flaws, and jealousy, but it cannot be denied that sometimes it is good, at least it will make people motivate.
Thinking about change is much better than forcing them to change yourself.
At least, China is very different now.
Besides, I have become famous and take the lead, and slowly use my own movie to launch "Made in China" actors, allowing them to slowly move to the world.
Let the world see the existence of Chinese filmmakers.
Then during the shooting, we brought together a group of top Chinese production teams.
Wang Meng believes that if his eyes are high and his realm is high, then these people will slowly change themselves.
The role of the leader is actually very important.
Moreover, I also have world-class companies, world-class special effects companies, world-class comic companies, and even world-class publicity media in the future, and world-class theaters.
Chapter completed!
