Chapter 799 It’s too expensive! ! !
The production of "Avengers" has entered the fast lane. In addition to the actor's performance, the most important thing is the production of special effects.
The top priority of superhero films, the special effects that don't burn enough money will look particularly trash, just like a low-quality film from Marvel later.
Orange Studios, as a top special effects company in Hollywood today, has taken over this difficult task.
It is worth mentioning that Xiangcheng Studio has received many orders for Chinese movies in recent years. For example, "Red Cliff" directed by Bai Ge Wu, and the Robot Man starring Wu Zhanlang.
But the special effects of these videos are still very inferior to veterans. The reason is very simple, and the money is not given enough.
Other special effects companies don't know that orange special effects companies do not have that kind of discrimination. After all, the boss’s position is there, and it is impossible to do too much.
But Hollywood's labor costs are there, and it is the world's top spot. No matter how you don't discriminate against the price, it's impossible to be much lower.
The investment in Chinese-language films is basically not large. Even if the investment scale of "Red Cliff" is reduced, even if the actors' pay is compressed, the money that can be used to burn special effects is still not enough.
But they don’t just look for Hollywood, they know it’s expensive, but they will find more special effects companies in Japan and South Korea.
Although it is not as good as Hollywood's top special effects companies, the price is cheaper.
In this, things have undergone some unknown and wonderful changes. Chinese film directors have not noticed that there are many more companies in China that make special effects.
In recent years, due to Hollywood's high labor costs and technical research and development costs, many special effects companies have accumulated very high operating costs.
Special effects companies are different from directors, producers and actors. They cannot enjoy profits from the box office and surrounding areas, and the floating space for profit is very small.
Unless it is a special effects company that is supported by large companies, such as Industrial Light and Magic, it will be difficult to operate those independent special effects companies.
James Cameron's digital field is one of the best special effects production companies in the industry, but the 2009 financial report of the digital field, which produced the amazing special effects of "Terminator 2" and "Avatar".
James Cameron couldn't hold on and wanted to sell it to 20th Century Fox or Universal Pictures.
Later, Gilbert Jr. invested money in the digital field and became a shareholder in the digital field, which prevented the special effects company from falling into the hands of other giants.
As a result, the digital field is also responsible for the production of some special effects of "Avengers". Especially the motion capture part, it is basically completed in the digital field.
James Cameron later said to Jibert Jr.: "This industry is too expensive, and only a super rich man like you can afford it."
Even the director's rich man James Cameron can't stand it, which shows how he burns money in the North American special effects industry.
What should I do if I can’t stand it? No one invested, so the special effects company had to find a way out of the business and reduce costs.
The special effects production company that sprouted like mushrooms after a rain in China was established in this context. These special effects companies look inconspicuous, but in fact they are starting to be responsible for some less important outsourcing businesses.
Borrow a quote from Corison Elvin, a special effect room in Orange Studio: "Although these Chinese people are not experienced enough, they are diligent and hardworking enough to produce high quality and fast speed.
This saves us a lot of energy and puts it on more important work."
Of course, in order to enable these Chinese peers to complete their tasks better, Hollywood special effects companies will also provide technical support to help Chinese peers better become familiar with their business.
If from the perspective of technical blockade, this is a crime.
But for enterprises and capitalists, they only care about two issues, cost and profit.
If there is a place that can greatly save costs and bring huge profits, then nothing can stop capital.
This incident also touched another person, that is Guo Fan.
Since returning from school, Guo Fan has not rushed to launch a major project, but has calmly analyzed and summarized the current situation. He first made other films to stabilize his position, and then looked for opportunities to start a big project.
Just Gibert emphasized this to him when he returned to China.
Movies are never left without the market, because movies themselves are products, they require flowers and applause, and even more so the audience. And the current Chinese film market cannot give Guo Fan what he wants, so he needs to act cautiously.
Luckily, his patience was well maintained and he saved his directorial career in the dark. There were a few who agreed to stop Guo Fan.
As a result, after waiting for a year, I found that Guo Fan was running around, but he just didn't make movies. Those people thought that Guo Fan should be useless, so they stopped paying attention to him.
It was not until I met Liu Cixin that Guo Fan and Liu Cixin had a meal and chatted for a long time, but it was still the money that Liu Cixin had paid for.
After returning to the capital, Guo Fan found Liu Ji: "Let's make a movie first!"
"You are finally willing to do it."
Liu Ji said happily: "Then what are we shooting?"
"I have observed that the comedy type in the film market has been very popular recently. Let's make a youth love comedy!" Guo Fan said,
Liu Ji was stunned: "Aren't you going to make science fiction movies?"
"The time is not yet ripe, the company must survive, right? Do something else first, and then the time is ripe."
In this way, Guo Fan started to do it vigorously. He returned from Hollywood, and the title of Jibert Jr. is quite useful.

Not to mention mainland stars, even Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are willing to act, so there is no problem with salary cuts.
Especially, someone named Da Mi Mi, looks for opportunities to chat with Guo Fan every day. If Guo Fan hadn't gotten married, there would have been a scene where a beautiful woman was chasing her.
However, the names of Yang Mi and Guo Fan are put together, and they don’t look like they are all the same person no matter how they look at them.
Justice Gilbert Jr. is still unknown to his students.
After busy, Jibert Jr. took the time to attend the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1).
The Harry Potter series ushered in its final chapter. Although there is still a next episode next year, countless Harry Potter fans have gathered together to bid farewell to the film series that has accompanied them for ten years.
The premiere of the three Gryffindor giants was released, and tears were shed on the red carpet, which made the scene sad.
For many Harry Potter fans, especially those who were once teenagers, the Harry Potter movie is their youth.
Harry Potter is coming to an end, and youth is coming to an end.
Don't think that only young Chinese people talk about youth, Americans also miss their youth very much.
But then with the film's producer Gilbert Jr. and the original author J.K. Rowling, it brings good news to everyone.
"Although Harry's story is over, the magic world will always exist."
Just Gibert said, looking at J.K. Rowling, saying, "Ms. Rowling and I discussed it. We agreed that there are many stories to tell in the magic world.
In the future, everyone can continue to look forward to our subsequent updates."
J.K. Rowling later confirmed this, and said, "I have received many letters from readers, who are very curious about the story of Hogwarts and the story of Dumbledore when he was young.
I myself think it's time to broaden some boundaries.
Director Gilbert just happened to find me and he provided me with many interesting ideas, which made me full of creative desire.
I think everyone will see how the story will go in the near future. ”
