After saying hello to the staff in the studio, Zhang Ran looked at the computers of several employees and saw that everyone was working on construction.∷∷, turned to look at Chen Ningyu and asked, “How much has previz done?”

"It's more than two minutes! Look at the effect, and I don't know if you're satisfied or not!" Chen Ningyu didn't know what previz was before, and Zhang Ran told him the concept. Over the past half month, he has brought five people to work on this, his eyes are a little dark, and he hasn't had a good sleep for a few days.

Zhang Ran was not very satisfied with the speed. It only took more than two minutes to do it for half a month, which was a bit slow. However, there was no way that the software Iron has not yet been released, so it could only be made with Maya. If there was an Iron, it would be much more convenient to make it. Zhang Ran nodded and looked at Chen Zhenghong and asked, "Brother Chen, let's go and have a look?"

Chen Zhenghong heard previz for the first time, and didn’t know what Western stuff it was, so he was quite curious: “Okay, I also want to see the advanced stuff you have figuring out!”

The three of them walked towards the screening room together, and Zhang Ran explained to Chen Ningyu what previz is.

Some people call previz visual preview, while others call it "dynamic storyboard", "3d storyboard", and "director's electronic sand table". Simply put, when preparing the movie, the entire movie is made with animation and made into a simple 3D cartoon, which is used to show the actor's movement, scene, camera angle, camera movement and other general directions for directors, camera directors, etc. to refer to when shooting.

Hollywood commercial blockbusters can produce 3D storyboards. There are many scenes in large scenes. They are not carefully designed in advance. Once the shooting is wrong, the losses will be huge. With 3D storyboards, everyone knows what they should do and how to do it, reducing the possibility of errors.

At the same time, blockbusters often have more special effects, which cannot be completed by one company alone. With a 3D storyboard, visual effects producers can use as bidding tools. They will send 3D storyboards to many visual effects outsourcing companies. Each visual effects studio can first take a look at the 3D storyboard and clearly understand the challenges. In this way, these outsourcing companies will calculate the quotation of human resources and resources much more accurately. In addition, with a 3D storyboard, the director has an accurate concept of the entire movie. There is less possibility of changing special effects shots, which can save a lot of costs.

Of course, independent filmmakers like Zhang Ran can use a trailer or a proof to raise funds for the entire movie. They don’t have to make a desperate bet on Peter Jackson in the Lord of the Rings, and recruit actors to shoot sample films for dozens of minutes to attract investment.

Chen Zhenghong has been in the film and television industry for many years and has seen many crews and directors. In China, only directors like Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang can draw storyboards. Other directors often have text storyboard scripts. Zhang Ran is now playing 3D, which is really in line with the international community! He couldn't help but ask: "It costs a lot of money, right?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "About 1 million!"

Chen Zhenghong shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect that this thing was so expensive. No wonder no one in China did it. He couldn't help but ask: "What's your budget for this movie?"

Zhang Ran said: "90 million US dollars!"

Chen Zhenghong's chin almost fell, 90 million, or US dollars! He looked at Zhang Ran like an alien, and he really couldn't figure out where the money came from. Even Zhang Yimou didn't have such a big face, right? This guy is really a monster!

At this time, Chen Ningyu started the projector and clicked on the playback file.

In the picture, there is a huge tall building with a huge cross on the wall. There is a pit formed by impact in the middle of the cross, and one person is embedded in the wall. Not far from the big pit, a man with a cold expression is floating in the air, holding a huge iron nail in one hand and a hammer in the other, looking at the man in the pit.

The villain Alexander in the pit is the protagonist Jason floating in the air.

He Xi was extremely narcissistic. Most of the male protagonists in his novels were called He Xi, and the male protagonist in "The Six Paths of Allegations" was also called He Xi. Zhang Ran was about to use Hollywood stars as the male protagonist, so he naturally could not be called He Xi, so he changed it to Jason; the same villain could not be called Hao Nancun. So he changed it to Alexander.

Now the ending part is played, which tells the story of Jason trapping Alexander with Skynet through fierce battles, and then nailing him to death, thus saving the entire world.

In this scene, Jason aimed the iron nail at Alexander. The hammer in his hand was raised high: "You have nowhere to escape, today is your death!"

Alexander completely collapsed, his body shivered violently, and sweat rolled down his face: "You let me go." He begged: "I'm not a human, don't kill me."

Jason interrupted him with a higher voice: "It's too late to say this now." A faint tears flashed in his eyes: "Think about those who died for you, think about where you will lead the world! This is your retribution!"

"Take your life! Demon! In the name of the Holy Spirit!" Jason yelled loudly as he struck the nail.

Blood splattered, and Alexander was screaming. He was blinded by Alexander and the believers who regarded him as God exclaimed. How could God scream and how could he shed blood?

"In the name of the Holy Son!" Jason's face was covered with blood, but he did not stop and continued to wave the hammer.

Alexander made a gurgling sound from his throat, and blood bubbles surged out of his mouth, and he could no longer speak.

"In the name of the victim!" Jason continued to wave the hammer.

Alexander's body was twisting and appearing and disappearing. He ran left and right in the six worlds but had no way to escape. His eyes were wide open, as if he was about to protrude violently. The dirty and dark blood flowed down the iron nails.

"In the name of justice! Jason's expression was extremely excited, and a bloodthirsty pleasure rose in his heart.

Alexander twitched, and blood flowed down his mouth.

Jason stopped, but immediately added: "In my name!"

Jason penetrated Alexander's body and went straight to the cross behind. Alexander tried to dominate the world and become "God", but now he was crucified by Jason.

The video is finished.

Zhang Ran looked at Chen Zhenghong. He was a bystander and the boss of a film and television company. His views were reference: "What do you think? If you are a film dealer, do you have the intention to buy this film?"

Chen Zhenghong nodded. Although he didn't know the content of the story, he was still shocked. The camera switched quickly, the visual impact was very strong, and Jason's righteous voice made people feel a strong impact in his heart. He said with great certainty: "It's really great. If I were a film dealer, I would definitely be willing to buy it, but the camera was a bit bloody. It would definitely be cut when released in China!"

Zhang Ran knew this. In "The Breaking Drummer", Chen Wei slapped Zhou Xu in the face, and was asked to delete it when he was submitted for review. Zhang Ran did not delete it when he participated in the competition in Tokyo, and he would definitely delete it when it was released in China. The slap shots are still the same. What's more, the scenes that are nailed to death: "This film is mainly overseas, and these shots must be shot, and they will be cut when it is released in China!"

Chen Zhenghong nodded. Now the national box office is only more than 100 million US dollars a year, and the investment is 90 million US dollars. You will definitely lose everything by relying on the domestic market: "To be honest, after watching this animation, I am looking forward to this movie!"

Zhang Ran smiled when he heard Chen Zhenghong say this: "I feel relieved if you say this!" He turned to Chen Ningyu and said: "The camera is fine, it is based on the design. But the picture is still too rough, and it doesn't matter if the other parts are rough. You can tell what's going on, but this fighting scene must be more refined. In February, we will take this part of the scene to Berlin for pre-sale. The better the effect, the more beneficial we will be when pre-sale."

Chen Ningyu was a little solemn when he heard that he wanted to take this scene to Berlin for pre-sale. It was okay to make the cameras that had been made now more refined. But in the previous part of Jason and Alexander's fight, the action guide and the director needed to design the action. There was no action guide now. They couldn't do it: "You have to design the action and the cameras with the action guide and take out the specific content, so that we can do it."

Zhang Ran nodded solemnly. He must have to find a martial arts coach to design the fight scene. He has asked Tony Tony to contact Yuan Heping, but there is no news from the other party: "I will contact you as soon as possible. When I come back from the United States, I will bring back all the relevant personnel and information! The previous fight scene is more than 20 minutes, and the Berlin Film Festival is mid-February, and there is only more than a month. Thank you for your hard work at that time!"

"It's okay. This is what we should do." Chen Ningyu smiled, then looked at Zhang Ran and said, "But we will definitely not be able to complete this little bit of people just by relying on us now. We need to recruit a lot of people. The cost will increase a lot."

"The money you should spend has to be spent. Our special effects budget is quite sufficient, so you don't need to worry!" Zhang Ran prepared 50 million US dollars of post-production and special effects costs for the movie, and he didn't care about this little money at all. The key now is time. If you can't catch up with Berlin, you can only wait until the Cannes Film Festival to pre-sale. You have to wait three more months.

After leaving the screening room, Zhang Ran continued to take Chen Zhenghong to visit the studio, introduced the roles of various departments to him, and gave corresponding demonstrations, which opened Chen Zhenghong's eyes. However, Chen Zhenghong also knew that Zhang Ran was busy, so after the visit, he chatted with Zhang Ran for a while before leaving.

After chatting with Chen Ningyu for a while, Zhang Ran called Ning Hao, Zhao Fei and Qiu Yuanxu and summoned them all to the studio. Zhang Ran planned to take the students out of Peking tomorrow night and go to the Demon Capital for survival experience. He stayed in the Demon Capital for a week and started preparing for the United States. He probably won’t be back at the end of December, so he must arrange what should be arranged.

Ning Hao's project "The Sad" was invested by Zhang Ran, so he definitely asked about the preparations. Ning Hao originally wanted Zhang Jingchu to be the heroine, but Zhang Ran did not agree at that time. Now Zhang Jingchu can try it. The release of the movie "Explosive Drummer" has been finalized and released by China Film. The marketing strategy has also been established. Just Qiu Yuanxu needs to focus on the entire project and ensure that nothing unexpected happens. Zhao Fei is the photographer of the next movie. Now the hand-painted storyboards are finalized after he discussed with Zhang Ran. During the period when Zhang Ran was away, he must have focused on the production of the 3D storyboard.

When Zhang Ran arranged everything, it was almost twelve o'clock when he returned to the dormitory. He sat at the table and pondered slightly, picked up his cell phone and called Liu Yifei. Compared with the school in class, Liu Yifei needed more survival training, and what she lacked the most was life.

As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Yifei shouted happily: "Master, are you back?Master, your movie is very popular in Japan!Master, when did you ask me to make a movie?"

Zhang Ran shook his head gently, just your pitiful acting skills have been practicing for ten years! After Liu Yifei finished speaking, he said, "Where are you filming? Are there many scenes in the past few days?"

Liu Yifei said happily: "In Tianlongba Film and Television City, I haven't had my play in the past few days. Master, you come to see me, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Chapter completed!
