Chapter 325: The Noise Is Not Enough

Which is more important, special effects or story?

But there is no doubt that there is only one movie that can win completely with special effects and a direct explosion in Qiao Feng's opinion, and that is the Avatar produced by James Cameron.

The plot of this film, Qiao Feng can't remember it after watching it, but the special effects in it are very memorable, and he has communicated with the people around him, basically all of them are cheering for the gorgeous and exciting special effects of this movie, and few say that they are impressed by the story they tell.

And the big hit of this movie is also because it is the first movie to really promote 3D viewing, so that the audience accepts and pursues it.

When this movie was released, the doors of those movie theaters with 3D screening halls were surrounded by long queues to buy tickets, and they were queuing up all night to buy tickets.

In this case, Qiao Feng is estimated to be like this in the history of movies, and he doesn't dare to say that there is no one who will come after him, but it must be unprecedented.

At that time, it was also the film that completely substituted the audience into the era of special effects blockbusters, and since then movies, especially Hollywood movies, have become more and more focused on special effects.

But no matter how large the proportion of special effects is, but those later special effects blockbusters first have a smooth story, I don't care if the story is novel or not, whether the bridge is surprising enough, vulgar, old-fashioned points may be better.

Anyway, in Qiao Feng's view, the importance of the story comes before the special effects, and a good story is the foundation of a movie's success.

Unless the ability and luck can be as good as James Cameron, there is no good story, and basically no one can make a good movie with special effects.

is like the swordsman of Xinshu Mountain, if it is still such a story, the plot, let alone the present, is more than ten years, and the special effects will not work if the special effects are good in a few decades, and it will not become a successful movie.

In the original time and space, Xu Ke's unwillingness to the new Shushan swordsman lasted for nearly twenty years, and then after entering the twenty-first century, Xu Ke felt that the special effects technology could meet his requirements, so he restarted a new Shushan.

The story is no longer the original story, but Xu Ke's obsession with special effects has not changed.

He sacrificed the completeness and fluidity of the story for the special effects shots he liked and loved.

In order to shoot the follow-up to the new Shushan swordsman, Xu Ke invited four Hollywood computer stunt companies to help, and in the production process, he also used a lot of professional software used in Hollywood movies, such as Maya and Softimage, to create an unreal space that does not exist in the real world. In terms of image computing, the images were created using more than 100 computers, which took a year to complete and cost more than HK$40 million. The filming budget of "The Legend of Shushan" was exceeded again and again, and the final budget was close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, no matter how good the special effects technology is, no matter how much, it is so much that a total of more than 1,600 stunt shots are used, creating the history of special effects lenses when Hong Kong films are also Chinese films, so good that the heroine Master Guyue sacrificed for love in front of the male protagonist Xuantianzong, and it was broken into thousands of pieces, which made the audience tremble, as if someone really broke into countless pieces in front of him, and he would splash on himself, but what can he do?

No amount of special effects shots can hide the hollowness of the film's story and characters.

A commercial film has to say what depth, it has to show any depth, it must be nonsense, but the plot is so pale that the mentally retarded can see at a glance that the separation of good and evil is fighting, which is too unwatchable.

The whole movie is like watching a synopsis, with only a skeleton and no flesh to speak of.

This movie does have enough stunt shots, so much so that there is no story to tell at all, basically from the beginning to the end without panting, watching people have optic nerve acid and cranial nerves are tired.

This movie can be said to be a perfect interpretation of what it means to dominate, Xu Ke's pursuit of special effects has been obsessed, and he has completely lost the story content he is most familiar with and is best at.

Xu Ke failed twice in Shushan's movies in the original time and space, and the failures were thorough, Qiao Feng didn't think that the current Xu Ke would be able to succeed.

Xu Ke's obsession with special effects is too deep, Qiao Feng doesn't think he has the ability to persuade Xu Ke to change, if someone like Xu Ke persuades him hard, he will end up parting ways.

Just like the two good friends Xu Ke and Wu Yusen in the original time and space, Wu Yusen helped Xu Ke at first, and then Xu Ke helped Wu Yusen, but when the two were together, it didn't take long for the two to have a conflict because of their different movie concepts, and in the end, the good friends completely broke up.

Friends don't have to do it.

Qiao Feng didn't want to do this, fortunately, Qiao Feng and Xu Ke basically didn't have any conflict of ideas.

As long as Xu Ke doesn't think about finding Qiao Feng to invest in Shushan or other special effects films that don't work in Qiao Feng's opinion, Qiao Feng can allow Xu Ke to do anything according to his ideas.

wants to invest in Xu Ke's special effects films, Qiao Feng feels that he has to at least let Xu Ke fail again, just like after the original time and space failed again in 2001, Xu Ke seemed to wake up from the obsession of special effects.

After a few years of precipitation, Xu Ke filmed special effects films again, but this time the special effects films are Xu Ke's best martial arts special effects films.

Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire, with an investment of 130 million, has a box office of 300 million in the mainland alone, plus Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, you can definitely make a lot of money.

After that, Longmen Feijia, Di Renjie's god Dragon King, and outwitting Weihu Mountain can be said to be quite successful, whether it is from the story, or special effects, or box office, it is very successful.

Qiao Feng didn't want to step into Xu Ke's pit called Shushan, so Qiao Feng told Xu Ke that the current special effects can't make a good story of Shushan, and it will not be possible until twenty years later, and it will be 2006 after twenty years, and it is estimated that Xu Ke's Shushan pit must have pitted others.

Or maybe Qiao Feng did invest in Shushan for Xu Ke, but Qiao Feng, the check of the movie story and special effects, will definitely find someone or come to the card in person, anyway, he can't let Xu Ke play.

Of course, it's still too early to think about this, Qiao Feng first drew a big cake for Xu Ke, and also let Xu Ke know his attitude in advance, he doesn't support shooting any new Shushan movies in a short period of time.

In this way, Xu Ke's head can be avoided, and he will figure out a new story of Shushan, and then come to Qiao Feng to invest, Qiao Feng said that as long as Xu Ke comes to his company, what Qiao Feng will be responsible for investing, even if he doesn't invest, he will find someone to invest in Xu Ke.

Take a preventive shot in advance to avoid everyone's embarrassment and avoid estrangement and contradictions.
