Chapter 522 Special Effects Era
Xu Ke was obviously moved.
But his past experience was too painful, he still didn't dare to make up his mind, and just said, "Don't bewitch me."
But the expression on his face was betrayed long ago, he.
Cheng Er smiled and said, "I think what Director Chen said is fine. Times have changed. Nowadays, audiences like works with fairy tale themes."
Guo Fan also came to join in the fun, "Yes, I have also watched "The Legend of Shushan" back then. The special effects style in that film is so Chinese. To be honest, I also like it. If I can inherit it, then use the current one. If you change the special effects level and shoot a good story, you will definitely have the potential to explode."
Ning Hao also nodded repeatedly.
While Xu Kezheng was hesitating, everyone had already walked into the film and television base and stood in front of the Grand Theater venue of the film and television city.
A large group of people were waiting there and saw several directors, and quickly came up to meet them. "Director Chen, there are several directors. Good afternoon. Since we heard that all the directors are coming to inspect, we are very excited. Now we have finally waited for a few."
Leading the lead is Shao Yufei, the person in charge of the film and television base, and Chen Linfeng has been here several times before, and has seen it very often.
Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "Old Shao, we are all so familiar with each other, so we can still use this."
Shao Yufei's already smiling face added a little bit more. Canlan, "Director Chen is right, but etiquette cannot be stopped. Moreover, many of the people behind me are for your name and want to come and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, The crowd behind us heard a response.
There are indeed many people who come here to join in the fun.
They work in the film and television city, and they usually contact the people in the film and television industry the most. They see and hear the stories of Chen Linfeng, so they are really curious. "Hey, no matter what, there is no need to make such a big noise." Chen Linfeng was very familiar with this scene. It took him a little time to deal with it easily.
Subsequently, several directors, as well as their team members, were arranged to go to the hotel to rest.
The next day, under the leadership of several film and television base leaders, Chen Linfeng and others visited some newly built projects of the film and television base.
There are also several people with special effects of the divine beast.
These advanced studios always need to be used by people. They are especially good at using special effects, so they come early, and they were welcomed yesterday afternoon.
The crowd visited the green screen studio, the latest motion capture technology, the latest landscape workshop, and the super large underwater shooting base one by one in order.
Chen Linfeng had underwater shooting during college, but it was not as simple and convenient as it is now.
The improvement of new technologies is still visible to the naked eye.
What he attaches most importance to is the viewing workshop.
In fact, this thing was also available in the past, but the difference now lies in the application of 3D printing technology.
When you need to shoot props or scenes that do not exist in reality, you can quickly print them out.
In his previous life, Guo Fan filmed "The Wandering Earth", and many props were printed through this.
Now, when Guo Fan saw this thing, his eyes lit up instantly, and he obviously thought of something.
Other directors are similar, and other advanced studios, or post-production video digital centers, etc., even if you have never seen them with your own eyes, you have heard of them.
This thing is the only thing that makes people think a lot.
Chen Linfeng and his team tried it out on the spot.
The backend of the Divine Beast Special Effects Company has many prop drawings in the style of Oriental Mythology and Fairy Tales, as well as ancient architectural models built through 3D scanning.
They directly passed on a digital model of "Zhu Xian Sword" and "Hanging Temple".
Then, several directors watched the "Zhu Xian Sword" and the small "Hanging Temple" quickly created.
Xu Ke picked up the "Little Hanging Temple" and looked back and forth, and was amazed.
"This thing is a bit amazing. It is the most suitable for making some imagination and background."
Xu Ke's eyes were swaying as he said, as if he had thought of it. What.
Obviously, today's experience shocked him a lot.
When Xu Ke was urging him yesterday, although he was moved, the lessons he had learned were too painful. He thought to himself that he would still discuss with others.
Now, Xu Ke finally made up his mind to do it again.
Chen Linfeng was also sighing that he was outside the circle in his previous life and had no idea how advanced technology had developed.
I only know from the reports that more and more crews are choosing to shoot in studios, and more and more green screen cutouts are being taken.
In Chen Linfeng's view, the real sense of real scene shooting must be stronger.
Green screens and studio landscapes should be used as a supplement, that is, to exert imagination when real conditions are difficult to achieve.
Including the viewing workshop, green screen can actually solve certain background problems, but that is the long-term view. A little closer will easily make the audience feel incongruous.
The scenery setting workshop still needs to be built to build the close-up view. On this basis, the details are improved through the later special effects, so as to maintain the authenticity as much as possible.
Just as "The Wandering Earth" does.
The film and television base is very large and there is no end to visit in one day.
The day's visit ended, and in the evening, five directors gathered together to chat.
Talk about the daytime visit.
Ning Hao is ready and will shoot a new movie at this film and television base in the future. "It's indeed convenient. No wonder you are willing to spend so much money, Director Chen." He is interested in the logistics support here.
For him, saving trouble is the most important thing.
Xu Ke did not hide his enthusiasm for restarting the "Shushan" project.
"As you said, the special effects conditions are already met, it is the story..."
He looked at Chen Linfeng, "Director Chen, then you can write the script when the script is written. I can't help you with this. I trust you the most."
Chen Linfeng asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
"I have been thinking in my heart over the years, and I've written it back and shown it to you."
"Okay," Chen Linfeng nodded and couldn't help but say, "Actually, how many stories are there in Shushan? It's a bit old, but the setting of the fairy world is really gorgeous. This is timeless. I think telling new stories based on the settings should be the best choice."
"Director Chen thinks so too? I have always thought this way."
Xu Ke feels like a confidant.
Now we need to restart the "Shushan" project and we also need to strive for the other party's investment.
Xu Ke's heart moved and said, "In the fairy tale, the role of the female fairy is the most important. When it comes to the female fairy, it immediately reminds people of Liu Qianqian. Would she let her play the protagonist?"
Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "You have to ask Qianqian if she wants to act."
Cheng Er said with a slight interest, "Director Chen is a person who respects his wife, so he must ask his wife's opinions."
Chen Linfeng glared at him and spoke nonsense.
In fact, as a person who has always had a good relationship, Cheng Er saw the two from falling in love to getting married, and he knew that Liu Qianqian had always been very advised in major events.
Guo Fan was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "Teacher, I saw a lot of things today. I feel that the conditions for science fiction movies are basically met. I still want to make science fiction movies seriously."
Everyone is talking When he suddenly heard this sentence, the other people didn't know why he suddenly said this.
Only Chen Linfeng had a premonition in his heart, it seemed that some people would still think about it after all.
"You have thought about it?"
"I have thought about it."
"Okay, the project "Time and Space Love Traveler" is over. If you have any ideas, come to me."
Guo Fan raised his head, "Teacher, do you agree?"
" Agree or object, it depends on whether your ideas are perfect. If my own students want to make progress, I can't stop you." "Teacher, you are so good." Guo Fan came over, Licking his face to please.
"Go away, don't use your tricks to me."
Chen Linfeng waved his hand impatiently. This person is the most shameless. I think he has almost this personality in his previous life.
No wonder I can do something like fighting the wolf with empty gloves.
In the next few days, Chen Linfeng and others had been visiting the film and television base, and several directors with new ideas had already begun to conceive.
During the time, the city leaders of Pingshi also came to inspect.
It's hard to say that time is so coincidental.
Several leaders who came to inspect showed a very enthusiastic attitude towards Chen Linfeng.
It is much more enthusiastic than the leader I met back then.
Yes, the status is different.
The news that Chen Linfeng was used as an attractive news tool back then, but now it is different. The leader really wants to be familiar with Director Chen and establish a good relationship.
Not to mention anything else, the resources in Director Chen’s hands, his own influence, and the strength of his subsidiaries are all enough to be enthusiastic about these city leaders.
After staying in Pingshi for almost 5 days and confirming that the film and television base meets the standards in my mind, Chen Linfeng went back.
Immediately afterwards, the preliminary preparations for the "Shocking Demons" project began.
The script has been written long ago.
Aimeikan, Chen Linfeng handed the script to Peter to Disney, and basically passed it without much time.
After that, in Hollywood, Pitt will find someone to take charge of the actor audition and the selection of some behind-the-scenes personnel.
There are also some outdoor scenes required in the script, and Pitt also needs to do the preliminary work.
Another, it is the country.
The outdoor scenes of "The Shocking Demons" are not many, most of them are indoor scenes.
Chen Linfeng is in charge of the relevant preparations and the other members of the team are assisted.
He only cared about accepting the final results on both sides.
Up to now, the team under his team has been able to solve most of his repetitive work and low-tech work.
In the later stage, Chen Lin Feng will have more.
After all, it involves the final effect, so we have to pay more attention to it.
He has been following him in the later stages of "The Joker".
Although filming in beautiful country, a lot of post-production work, including editing, special effects, color grading, etc., has been transferred to China.
Not only does it save money, it is also an important part of cultivating domestic industries.
Now, the overall technology and level of domestic films are at least two years ahead of their previous lives.
In this, the two companies, Longlin and Qilin, have a huge role.
Chen Linfeng alone has driven the development of related industries and trained practitioners over the years, and has nearly 10,000.
Not to mention, he has the idea of competing because of him and is trying his best to improve his level.
This is most obvious from the TV series.
There are now a large number of special effects of domestic fairy tale dramas and mythological dramas, and at least it must be at the level of about 16 years in the previous life.
Especially, the Dragon Scale Drama is almost a scenery that has never been seen in domestic dramas in previous lives. Of course, in the era when the pay for movies in the past was not high, the total investment was not high and the special effects could not be afforded.
The investment is high and the proportion of pay is higher, so I still can't afford good special effects.
Only Dragon Scale, due to system and company philosophy, can use more excellent special effects than peers.
This has also led to changes in other companies.
After all, the picture effect is something that the audience can see at first glance.
No matter how much you explain, it will be useless.
I've seen it well, who would still like to see your brainless special effects?
Everyone just likes the good ones.
So, nowadays, the special effects level of the entire domestic drama is very good.
The momentum of domestic dramas exporting Southeast Asia is becoming increasingly rapid, and it is inseparable from this.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
The rolls were rolled up for me.
Chen Linfeng likes to watch domestic dramas nowadays, especially his own dramas.
Such as "Zhu Xianxia" and "The Wild Age".
These are all episodes that were not available in their previous lives, and were filmed by Long Lin.
Especially "The Wild Age", a TV series derived from "Sou Shen Ji" and "The Wild Sword", is a project launched by Long Lin this year.
It seems that a company had filmed "Soushen Ji" in his previous life, but in Chen Linfeng's eyes, it was nothing.
Long Lin's screenwriter called Shigu'ani, a co-writer, and a new drama supported by powerful special effects, became a hit as soon as it was aired this year.
Several 85 Flowers who participated in the performance, Yang Mi, Jing Tian, Liu Shishi, Shu Chang, and Zhang Junning and Wang Kai, all had a surge in fans.
In this era of huge increase in pay, only Dragon Scale can get this lineup.
Affected by this, those who were hesitant and were unable to make up their minds to replace the early pay cost with part of the income, and also began to learn how to implement the operation of Long Scale.
After all, Long Lin and the others can really eat meat, how can they not be jealous?
Of course, those who engage in yin and yang contracts, in order to wash x or conduct capital operations, will definitely be regarded as not seeing it.
However, the general situation has begun to change, and these operations may not become the mainstream in the industry.
In late September, Chen Linfeng had dinner and chat with friends he knew.
The relationship between China still cannot be broken. It is not a good thing to float in the sky for a long time.
Especially for Chen Linfeng, he has aspirations for the future.
If you want to have a good historical evaluation, you have to have a large number of people support him. This is not enough to achieve results alone.
The typical example is Mr. Guo and Hu. Without students, no support, and a lot of supporters with students is that they can completely tamper with and distort historical evaluations. The good ones are said to be bad, and the bad ones are said to be bad. Nothing is like this when you succeed.
There are also gatherings between directors.
On September 22, Zhang Yimou called and said he wanted to come out to get together.
Chen Linfeng simply called out a few more people.
Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang and others were all present.
In fact, according to past habits, although these people are still in a good relationship, they usually don’t talk in private.
It's not a place or a circle, and I can't go together.
But Chen Linfeng didn't care about this, the new era must have a new look.
He has a good relationship with any circle. After all, only his company is treated equally, and everyone in any circle uses it. Chen Linfeng's current achievements are different, and Zhang Yimou still carries his love.
I had no choice but to follow Xiao Chen. "It's considered that I can meet you. Are you a busy man finally free?"
As soon as he came up, Jiang Wen complained.
Some time ago, he called Chen Linfeng several times and asked Chen Linfeng to come out to have dinner together, but in the end he had no results. "Sorry, I'm really busy. The movie I just finished is going to be in the late stages, and the new movie needs to be prepared. I always have to sort out the work first and then come out to gather."
Chen Kaige said curiously, "I heard that the movie you just made is the theme of "The Joker". What is the new movie like?"
Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou also looked at him curiously.
After "Inception", it is really a new film by Chen Linfeng who is curious about.
"The new movie is about magic + thief."
Chen Linfeng roughly told the main plot story.
Feng Xiaogang sighed. "I don't know how you look at this brain, but why do you always have such a novel story."
He felt that this story was good as soon as he heard it. The audience must love to watch it. As a commercial film director, he still has this sensitivity. of.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige also nodded, not talking about their thoughts, but only listening to stories, which is indeed very novel.
Only Jiang Wen didn't say much. "Hey, think about your imagination first, and then slowly fill the details. This is not how everyone does it."
Chen Linfeng mentioned it and asked, "What are you busy with now?"
He looked in the direction of Zhang Yimou, the other party was still the taciturn person. Zhang Yimou usually heard a lot at the party. "I heard you were going to shoot the Battle of Diaoyu City before, how are you doing now?" "It's been half a year since the filming was completed, and it's almost the same in the later stage." Zhang Yimou replied.
"When will it be released or the New Year's Eve?"
The other people immediately followed.
Now in the domestic film market, Xiao Chen is naturally the one who dominates the company.
The summer season has almost become his world. Every summer movie is a movie, and I don’t have to worry about Hollywood blockbusters.
He opened up the Spring Festival period, and Xiao Chen has been the biggest winner in the past two years.
In addition, there are only Zhang Yimou. This person is also a veteran strong man after all, and should not be underestimated.
Zhang Yimou thought about it and said to the truth, "The plan is to be released in the Spring Festival."
There is no need to hide the time, because everyone knows that this year's Spring Festival must be a very lively battle.
Feng Xiaogang said regretfully, "Oh, it's a pity that my movie is not suitable for the Spring Festival period, otherwise I would definitely have to compete with you."
Chen Linfeng asked curiously, " I'm talking about "1942". When will Director Feng take part in it?" "
"It's been these few days."
"Ah? How come you have been looking for such a time these days?" Feng Xiaogang explained, "I originally wanted to be released on September 18, but I think about it if it was postponed for a few days. How can I find out if it was released for a few days? It is better to have a holiday for the festival."
Chen Linfeng nodded to express his understanding.
On September 18, I understand what time it is, and "1942" has some connection.
After pushing, I thought about getting more box office, which is also normal.
"I'll go and support you at that time."
Feng Xiaogang smiled brightly, "Hey, Xiao Chen, you're still caring."
Chen Linfeng waved his hand, "I remember to send the film to the Golden Rooster Awards at that time. Organizing Committee, time is just around the corner."
When talking about this, several other directors became curious. "I have been circulating in the circle for so long, and I'm saying that the Golden Rooster Awards have changed a lot. Isn't it like before again? Is it a joke?"
Chen Linfeng said seriously, "If you work hard for so long, it will be a joke."
He explained, "From the primary election to the final award, everyone voted for it, not to mention it completely. Speaking by the quality of the movie, at least we cannot let actors who are completely unfamous, bad movies and poor quality stand up to receive the award. "
There are thousands of people in the jury, and there are a few more people over 40 years old, which makes it easier for them to The overall tendency to award awards is still slightly more towards literary and artistic films.
But at least 20% of young people and 30% of middle-aged judges can be pulled, leaving a way out for high-reputation commercial movies.
There is also a 70-year-old withdrawal system to replace it with new blood.
Overall, it is perfect enough.
The only thing Chen Linfeng is that the commercialization is not enough, which leads to no one watching, and the judges' voting participation is not enough, and they can't continue to do it slowly.
This is also one of the reasons why he came out to have a dinner and chat recently, and he was attracted to others.
A few more heavyweights, especially directors.
There are so many big directors coming, and those stars are definitely willing to come.
The industry’s doubts about the Golden Rooster Award cannot be eliminated by just saying reform.
After all, outsiders do not know the specific situation inside, and even if there is a public announcement, many people actually don’t care.
There must be enough stars to keep the scene up.
Fortunately, Chen Linfeng's face has always been enough, especially now, just looking at his face, there will be many people joining in the fun.
The same is true for these people nowadays.
Chen Linfeng spoke, and everyone agreed to take the time to participate.
The topic ended, and everyone still talked back to the movie.
Chen Kaige just tried to shoot a commercial movie this year, and his grades can only be said to be average.
He was quite distressed and didn't know how to go ahead.
The market is changing too fast now. If you want to embrace commercial movies, he can't keep up with it.
As far as he knows, he should not be the only one who thinks that at the scene.
Chen Kaige simply asked directly, and the target of the inquiry was Chen Linfeng.
In his opinion, Xiao Chen is the one who can play with commercial movies the most. What is particularly commendable is that he can also make literary and artistic movies.
The skills in the picture and lens are catching up with these predecessors.
So, Chen Kaige can really ask questions. If he changes someone, don’t even think about it.
"I do have some ideas about this answer, but I think it's better to wait until Director Zhang's movie comes out and have specific examples before you can say it."
Chen Kaige was a little anxious, "You're still straightforward." Tell me, even if there is no specific case, I believe you."
"Well, okay,"
Chen Linfeng sorted out his words, "I think you, Director Chen, and Director Zhang both One problem is that it is not very good at understanding the audience's ability to understand."
"Oh?" Chen Kaige was fine, and Zhang Yimou was also energetic.
Even Jiang Wen's expression moved, and he had such a problem.
"What do you say?"
