Chapter 309: Suffocated by dreams!
"If nothing else, your special effects are really awesome! How did you do it?" Li Mingyang asked.
Everyone laughed and said nothing, showing off.
"Director Li, the first part has been completed and is waiting for you to start editing." Wu Zhikui stepped forward and pulled Li Mingyang to the editing room.
Li Mingyang came to the editing room and sat on the chair.
Wu Zhikui opened the file and played it.
Li Mingyang is very curious about Wu Zhikui’s One Punch Man.
Every time Wu Zhikui sends a video, the resolution is a bit low, and they mostly contain special effects, explosions, and fighting scenes. He has always been a peeper.
Li Mingyang looked at it seriously.
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and asked, "How much did you spend?"
Wu Zhikui raised his hand behind him, and a fat man with big eyes ran over and handed Wu Zhikui a ledger.
Wu Zhikui handed the account book to Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang didn't look at it, "Just tell me."
"36.5 million."
Li Mingyang nodded, slid the chair, came to the console, and I continued to watch, this time I no longer looked at it in detail, but played it quickly.
At one hour and thirty-five minutes, the special effects shots actually took up nearly an hour.
That’s outrageous! So many special effects, less than 40 million, how can it be done? Although it is incomparable with Hollywood, the speed is too ridiculous...
After watching One Punch Man, the Internet is huge.
Li Mingyang could no longer hold back his curiosity, "How did you do it? It's impossible to produce so many special effects so quickly just by relying on outsourcing..."
Wu Zhikui still played tricks and signaled to Li Mingyang follows him.
When Li Mingyang came out of the editing room, he found that there were not many people on the sixth floor.
Follow Wu Zhikui into the elevator and reach the eighth floor.
Ding!
The elevator door opens.
What comes into view is a huge city sand table, which is the city that was smashed by the giant.
A group of staff holding small models held up the models and green figures in their hands.
“You actually used special photography techniques to shoot it.”
No wonder it looks weird...
“Yes! Although the effect is not as good as CG special effects, but fast!" Wu Zhikui said.
“I’m humble, your special effects are one level ahead of the rest of the country.” Li Mingyang came to the city sand table and asked curiously: “Who made these props? The workmanship is quite good.”
"We made it ourselves."
"Uh...how did you think of making it ourselves? This thing is quite troublesome."
"In fact, we planned to find a manufacturer to customize it at the beginning, but they made it It's too bad, it's too fake. It just so happens that Aaron and the others are Warhammer fans and know how to paint, so they suggested that we do it ourselves. We can learn it pretty quickly," Wu Zhikui said, pointing at Aaron.
Li Mingyang was stunned, what you said is too simple.
I can also paint, and I am also a Warhammer fan! But I can’t make a model like yours!
Li Mingyang became more and more curious and wanted to see how they made the real-life model.
The real-life model was made in an operation room the size of a basketball court on the eighth floor. The white mold was custom-made, and the painting was done by Aaron and Wu Zhikui.
Another group of people are responsible for the splicing, scenery and decoration.
There are two buddies who can also do micro-carving...
The proportion of handwork is quite high...
It looks rough, but the result looks like that from a distance.
"Although the model is well made, it seems...it can't produce the effect of One Punch Man. How did you put your people in it?"
Wu Zhikui knew that Li Mingyang would have this question. , smiled and said: "PS went in."
Li Mingyang picked up the little green man on the table. He finally knew what this thing was for.
“This is a big project. The movie has about an hour of special effects, 60 minutes, 3600 seconds, 24 frames per second, and more than 80,000 pictures.”
"Actually, it's not that many. There are more than 50,000 pictures. I did it at 15 frames. In addition, for the action scenes, I added a lot of black pictures to increase the number of pictures and cause delays."
Bah, bang, bang!
"Old Wu is enlightened! He did a good job this time!"
Li Mingyang applauded and was convinced. Wu Zhikui used animation techniques to create One Punch Man!
It’s feasible!
It turns out it works!
If it goes to theaters, it won’t work because the frame rate is too low. The movie needs at least 24 frames to have the so-called movie feel.
If it is broadcast on an online platform, most people in this era do not have high requirements for clarity. It is okay if it is blurry, and they will still watch it with gusto.
For example, Xiangjiang’s previous erotic films and the action films of Little Days.
As for Blu-ray movies, not many people go out of their way to download them. Downloading is too laborious and takes up hard drive space.
The needs of netizens are very simple. First, it is free, and second, it is interesting.
Li Mingyang is even more curious about Wu Zhikui's production techniques.
I walked around the eighth floor with Wu Zhikui and other people in charge, inspecting the production process of One Punch Man.
Finally, we returned to the special effects department on the sixth floor to watch Wu Zhikui communicate with the special effects company and see the progress of the retouching of the materials.
The special effects company is a small company in the north. It was about to close down. Because the quotation was extremely low, only 300 yuan per picture, it was selected by Wu Zhikui. The effect was not bad, so we cooperated for a long time.
There used to be more than 20 small companies like this, with mixed results, but now there are only eight left, with relatively good results, and after more than a month of cooperation, they can basically unify their style.
These photos that have been photoshopped cannot be used directly. People from the company’s special effects department will perform finishing work.
In order to reduce the modification time, several technical backbones of the special effects department spent nearly a month developing a plug-in for the finishing of P pictures, which greatly increased the efficiency.
This is how he can produce the One Punch Man that Li Mingyang saw in such a short period of time.
Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces that he had not seen for a long time, Li Mingyang suddenly realized that Wu Zhikui was right. Zhang Zhao's style is not suitable for Mingyang Entertainment.
Mingyang Entertainment is a world for young people. Putting shackles on it will only limit everyone's imagination and kill everyone's dreams.
If you are young and don’t pursue your dreams...
Should you get married, have children and become a house slave?
Let us suffocate for our dreams together!
How many celebrities, investors, and stockholders have been "cheated" out of money by Lao Jia's words.
Even when people ran away, Zhang Zhao still believed in him. Countless people believed that he really built cars and was a true hero!
Dreams...
Those who have dreams can turn decay into magic!
Cleave a new road...
Li Mingyang crossed his fingers, flexed his fingers, then sat down at the console in the editing room, put on his headphones, and under everyone's attention, made the final edit for everyone's dream.
Although this One Punch Man is still far away from the One Punch Man he wants.
Although it will not cause the phenomenal popularity of "Run" and "Diaosi Men".
Although it is rough and not perfect.
But... it was made with the concerted efforts of all members of Mingyang Entertainment, and it is truly a movie that can be called a work.
All technical deficiencies can be continuously improved in the future.
You must have the determination to make a movie.
Suffocated by dreams!
……
The next two days.
Li Mingyang used his rhythm talent to edit One Punch Man.
It turned out that One Punch Man was one hour and thirty-five minutes long, but he cut off twenty-five minutes.
Make the story more compact and the rhythm faster.
The soundtrack for One Punch Man was re-scored, but the theme song was not done. The original theme song was not good to listen to. On the contrary, the episode of One Punch Man's Justice Execution has become a Douyin song...
It has become the most classic climactic ballad and has been edited in various ways.
I can’t remember everything, but I remember that the climax... was added.
Finally, Li Mingyang bought the ending song of Slam Dunk, "Until the End of the World," and asked Yao Beina to cover it.
Everything is ready.
Li Mingyang called Lao Gu and prepared to put the first part of One Punch Man on Youku.
“Director Li, let’s forget about this.”
"Forget it?" Li Mingyang asked strangely, "Aren't you clamoring for ten Internet universities? I've already done it, and you say forget it?"
"How should I say..."
"Speak up if you have something to say."
"If it was you who took the photo, I would consider it, but you are still the same as before, just a bunch of little guys messing around. Really, forget it. Come on!”
“You refuse without even looking at it?
"It doesn't make any sense... You should just focus on the movie, your name, how much you plan to sell it for, it's not about the money... Hey, hey..."
Li Mingyang hung up the phone and called again Gong Yu from iQiyi called, but Gong Yu didn’t want it either. He wanted the exclusive web broadcast rights of your name for five million.
Li Mingyang made several more calls, but no one wanted to ask for it.
It’s so strange...
One Punch Man, he didn’t ask for any money, he didn’t even ask for the Iron Rooster Zhang Chaoyang, it was so strange.
Li Mingyang couldn't figure it out and called Wang Changtian.
Wang Changtian is also very surprised. Internet companies are worthless. They can either buy it out in one go, and one million is considered a high price, or they can pay based on clicks. If they exceed 100 million clicks, it will only be a little over one million.
It’s really not expensive.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask about the situation."
Wang Changtian kept asking for most of the day, and didn't get a reply until the evening.
"A few days ago, major domestic video platforms signed a movie webcasting rights contract with Huayi and Yinghuang. The webcasting rights for If You Are the One 2 and Let the Bullets Fly, as well as the webcasting rights for movies released by the two companies next year, have been It was packaged and sold, and the price is that the major video platforms will no longer broadcast One Punch Man, which you have been working on for more than a year..."
"Is the news reliable?"
" Zhang Zhao said "
"Made, are you trying to get rid of me! Aren't they afraid of problems with ticket reimbursement?"
"Haha, Wang Xing runs to China Film and Television every day, his legs are so fast. The run is broken.”
The power of life and death still lies with the mountain eagle.
After all, he was the one who made the ticket reimbursement happen 6 years in advance under tremendous pressure.
"Don't tell me that you can't do anything and you are counting on me."
"That's not the case...but Huayi and Yinghuang already want to kick you out. After all, The penguin is really here, and it’s really a matter of life and death.”
“Is Brother Ma really willing to end?”
"It's very urgent. In the 3Q war, Penguin hit the wall. He originally wanted to tear down the wall, but the superiors wouldn't let him. He had to find another way. Penguin had money and couldn't spend it, which was actually very painful."
and Wang Changtian chatted for more than half an hour, and Li Mingyang found that everyone was forcing him to end.
Many people want to hammer him...
There are also many people who want to pull him away...
He is the biggest variable in the Lunar New Year box office war.
