Chapter 10: Setting Up Your Own VFX Team (First Update!)
Can you make a movie with so many commercials?
I can shoot it!
If there is anything that can't be filmed, as long as the advertising placement is done well, it will not make the moviegoers have any sense of disobedience, and even add some sense of substitution to make the movie more real.
Of course, if you look at this movie in the context of modern society, let alone 50 commercials, even 500 commercials can be seamlessly integrated into the movie world.
But......
Shen Lang felt that this thing was really not easy to control, and what he could really control seemed to be the story of a larger town and a vast forest.
"Orfina, what do you think the earth is shaped?"
"Isn't the Earth? Isn't the Earth an Ellipse? He's a Sphere!"
"Would you believe me if I said that the earth is not oval?"
"It's not oval, what shape is it?"
"I said that our earth is flat, flat like a disk, and the way we orbit the sun is not the way we think it is, but it revolves around the sun in the way that the disk does, and the direction in which the sun turns is day, and the direction in which the sun cannot turn is darkness...... Do you think our gravitational pull is real? No, what if, I say, gravity doesn't exist, and we jump up and fall because our earth is rising?"
"No! Surely not...... And now the satellites have been lifted off, and the whole world knows that the Earth is a sphere......"
"So, how do we know that the Earth is a sphere?"
"Do you need to ask? This is the scientists, the textbooks, and the ZF Institute......
"What if it's a hoax, or if it's a lie? What if everybody joins forces to deceive us ordinary people? What if I say that the moon landing is a lie, and you Americans have never been on the moon?"
"How is it possible, this is recognized by the world, why ......"
"Have you found the flag that landed on the moon? There is no air in the moon, let alone wind, why is the flag like this? Also, why did you the United States land on the moon once and never land again? Why haven't other countries landed on the moon after almost 50 years? Is it because the technology is not developed? No! Compared with 50 years ago, technology has simply advanced by leaps and bounds, so what is the reason for this?"
"There is no need to exploit the resources of the moon, and the financial and material resources consumed by a moon landing are really terrifying......"
"Is that a statement, or, another way, what if I say that the moon landing was a hoax? You never went to the moon?"
“......”
Shen Lang and Aofena chatted about the script until late at night.
At first, Orphein thought that all this was normal, but as she talked more and more deeply with Shen Lang, Orpheina was a little dizzy.
Especially when Shen Lang's very serious and seductive voice appeared in Aofena's ears, even after passing through the translation machine, Aofena still felt a sense of subversion.
Even, when she talked to Shen Lang to the end, she suddenly felt strange about this world!
That's right!
What if, it was all a hoax?
Although it sounded terrifying, she didn't have any reason to explain what Shen Lang said.
Before I knew it, I began to feel creepy.
"That's the setting for our new movie?" then, after a long time, Orphena subconsciously asked.
"It's not that kind of background, it's something that can inspire some people to reflect...... Well, I will construct the world view of the whole movie, but you will make up the story in the world...... It doesn't matter if it's a fairy tale or a magical story...... Well, there is nothing wrong with your script story in my opinion, and if you think what I'm telling you is inspiring, do you think the story could be more in line with my background?"
"I see!"
"Well, Miss Orfina, it's too late, go to bed, good night. ”
"Good night. ”
Shen Lang hung up the phone with Ofina.
After hanging up the phone, he stretched, then yawned and looked out the window at the dim light.
In fact, the content of Shen Lang's conversation with Orpheus was a very well-known "conspiracy theory" in the original world.
Don't think that in modern society, these things are ridiculous.
The hypothesis that the earth is flat firmly believes that some of the proponents are highly educated people such as doctors, lawyers, graduate students, university teachers, etc.
In fact, although we live in this world, and everything seems to be normal in this world, what if we think about the world the other way around?
So, do you have a fresh perspective?
What if we were pets kept in captivity by some mysterious being?
If there are good people who keep ants in captivity and create a relatively normal world for them, then ......
Will ants know they're in captivity?
In the last movie, Shen Lang explained what kind of world this world is, which aroused the audience's thinking.
And in this movie, Shen Lang wants to use this gimmick again, and think deeply about how to get this concept.
Similar to "Truman's World" but ......
It's completely different!
....................................
Sleep until dawn.
When the bell of dawn rang, Shen Lang yawned and got up from the bed, and then walked down to the second floor after eating something casually.
When he came down, he saw Zhao Yuzheng and Robert cleaning the office.
Shen Lang was slightly stunned, and then laughed again.
These two people really seem to have similarities, both fell from a high place, went through a period of low after falling, and then got back on their feet.
From the details, Shen Lang can indeed see that Zhao Yu has completely changed as a person.
He knew that he was really nothing outside of some umbrellas, and it was because he knew that he was nothing that he lowered his head and truly realized the world.
"Mr. Shen......"
"Mr. Shen......"
"Haha, you guys are so diligent, give you a thumbs up. ”
"Thinking about doing something......" Zhao Yu smiled after looking up at Shen Lang.
In fact, when they first entered Shen Lang's company, everyone looked at Zhao Yu with a down-to-earth eye, but after Zhao Yu really put down his posture, took the initiative to greet them, and took the initiative to show goodwill, these people also realized the changes in Zhao Yu, and then they slowly got along harmoniously, and Zhao Yu was officially integrated into the group.
"Director Zhao......"
"Huh?"
"You can be my assistant director for the new movie. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yu was stunned.
He didn't expect Shen Lang to let him be the assistant director.
It's not that he looks down on the assistant director, but now that he has experienced such a trough, let alone the assistant director, he doesn't even have much confidence in some important work of the crew, he originally thought that he would have to stay up for a while, but he didn't expect it......
"I know you want to prove yourself, after this movie is really directed, our next movie will let you be the director again by yourself......" Shen Lang laughed.
"Well, okay! Mr. Shen, I won't let you down!"
"Don't let yourself down, you're not proving it to others, you're proving it to yourself!"
"Yes!"
After saying a few simple words, Zhao Yu only felt extremely hot in his heart, and he found that Shen Lang knew him better than anyone else.
After chatting with Zhao Yu for a few words, Shen Lang turned his head to look at Robert next to him.
"Mr. Robert...... Our movie script has been sent for review, and the review should not be a big problem, you prepare, about ten days, we will be able to shoot. ”
"Ten days?"
"Yes, ten days! Let everyone see your true level!"
"Hmm!"
....................................
The controversy and criticism of Shen Lang on the Internet are simply bursting.
All of them are all about Shen Lang's various voices.
Shen Lang turned off Weibo after browsing Weibo.
It's a good thing to have controversy and heat!
In this movie, Shen Lang wants to satisfy three customers.
At the beginning of the movie, Shen Lang wants to satisfy advertiser customers, make advertiser customers happy, and satisfy advertisers, so, the follow-up advertising sponsorship funds in the future, isn't the next movie coming in a steady stream? The second stage is to satisfy fans, although most fans are now scolding and scolding, thinking that this movie is estimated to be rotten, but in fact, after the movie is really released, Shen Lang has a certain degree of confidence to change the concept of fans, so that fans who meet the curiosity of fans are the second customers. Of course, the third thing to satisfy is everyone up and down the company......
The first two are satisfied, the box office is in, Shen Lang has another wave of big bonuses, are the brothers still not satisfied?
It's a virtuous circle and, at the same time, a balance point, so to speak.
Of course...
There's a lot going on with the new movie.
"Knock knock. ”
"Brother Lang, are you looking for me?"
"Well, Xiao Chu, sit. ”
"Mr. Shen, what's wrong?"
"There are two things you have to do now, the first thing is to organize a document, that is, to organize a catalog of the world's most famous fantasy movies with a higher box office to me, the sooner the better, and the second thing is that I need to understand that we have several companies in Huaxia that specialize in special effects, and I know that many Hollywood special effects companies are outsourced from Huaxia......"
"Mr. Shen, are you looking for a special effects company to cooperate?"
"No ......"
"Then you are ......"
"You go find the list first, and then give it to me when you're done, and you'll know later. ”
"Okay. Xiao Chu seemed to have something to say, and after hesitating for a while, he finally didn't say anything and was ready to turn around and leave the office.
"That's right......" Just when Xiao Chu was about to go out, Shen Lang glanced at Xiao Chu again.
"Mr. Shen, what's wrong?"
"Let Manager Chen come over for a while......"
"Good. ”
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes after finishing speaking.
