Among the movies Zhang Bufan has participated in, only "Reunion" and "Stone" have no special effects, and he thought that "Bullfighting" also has no special effects, but in fact, there are war scenes, all kinds of bomb explosions, and the pile of dead people like purgatory on earth, many of which use special effects.

It's just that because the special sales are relatively small, and most of them are some hidden special effects, the special effects in "Bullfighting" were all made after the end of the editing, Zhang Bufan didn't know at all, and Guan Hu didn't tell him.

It wasn't until the movie was released that he looked at it and found that there were still differences from the original final cut version, and then he knew that special effects had been added to it.

This is also the case with "People in Embarrassment" and "Killing".

So until now, Zhang Bufan has never been exposed to special effects.

But this time it was different, on this day, during the lunch break, Ning Hao called Zhang Bufan over and introduced him to a person he hadn't seen before.

"This is Mr. Xu, the special effects director of the ink image special effects company. ”

Zhang Bufan was stunned, but it didn't prevent him from shaking hands with others, and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Zhang Bufan, the screenwriter of this movie." ”

That one was also very polite, holding Zhang Bufan's hand and saying: "Hello Mr. Zhang, I won't tell you, I have watched all the movies you wrote and liked them very much." ”

Zhang Bufan smiled politely, of course he couldn't believe all such words, but a person from a special effects production company knew that he was indeed very proud.

Ning Hao continued, "All the special effects of our film are produced by Mo Ying, and from today onwards, they will send people to follow the team. ”

Aren't the special effects in the later stage? Why do you still have to follow the group? Zhang Bufan has a question mark about this.

But soon he understood.

"Look. Zhang Bufan and Ning Hao stood on the top floor of a building, looking out of a window.

This is a camera position dedicated to shooting long shots, in order to create a sense of the occupied area of Skumoto.

Ning Hao compared his hands to the frame, pointed to the distance, and said: "This is all that the camera lens can capture, the building on the right, the building in front of the left, and then the water in the distance, you look at it like this, does it feel like Spring City?

"Nope. Zhang Bufan shook his head, "Is this the old demon capital?" ”

"yes, like this, you have to use special effects. Ning Hao said: "Like the buildings on both sides, add a roof, just the kind of triangular roof, and then the water in the distance will be dried up, and put some buildings there, and make a top like the helmet of the samurai." ”

"Well, if that's the case, the feeling of being occupied by Kozumoto is there. Zhang Bufan nodded, and then asked suspiciously: "But, aren't these just done in the later stage, why do their special effects people have to follow the group now?"

Ning Hao asked rhetorically, "If I don't tell you, do you know that this paragraph is going to add special effects, and where should it be added?"

Zhang Bufan shook his head.

"So, that's what people are here to do, and if we want to use special effects to make effects, we have to leave room for them to do special effects. Ning Hao pointed to the two buildings outside and said: "Just these two buildings, the lens is a little lower, there is no room for the roof, you can't do special effects if you want to, similar to this, they are called hidden special effects." ”

"Oh. Zhang Bufan suddenly said, "I feel that you ran up with those people before, just let the family guide you this." ”

"Your uncle, I'm teaching you things in the right way, and you're thinking about some mess. Ning Hao scolded with a smile.

That's right, Zhang Bufan doesn't understand it at all, he Ning Hao is actually not much better, what he just said is actually what someone from the special effects company just told him before......

So, Zhang Bufan has more things to do every day, except for staying behind the monitor, and if he has nothing to do, he goes to the back of the special effects company.

That Xu is always the special effects director of this movie, of course, he doesn't need to follow the team all the way, he brought someone to meet with Ning Hao and them that day, and after chatting about the specific situation, he went back, leaving a group of 3 people here.

These three people have a laptop, and in addition to studying with Ning Hao every day where special effects may be needed, they just sit in front of the computer, and those shot footage will be imported into their computer, and then they will work there.

At first, Zhang Bufan was a little surprised when he saw this, is the difficulty of making special effects so low?

Later, I learned that people are not doing this at all, it can only be regarded as the early stage, for example, making some simple models to confirm whether there is space for this lens to make special effects, or whether the things in this lens can make the special effects that Ning Hao needs.

The real special effects production still has to be done after the movie is filmed, and even some special effects companies will wait until all the special effects are edited.

However, these alone are enough for Zhang Bufan to learn, mainly from the perspective of a director.

Then, after a period of time, after roughly understanding what special effects are and how to cooperate with the special effects producer as a director to shoot, Zhang Bufan made suggestions to Ning Hao.

"Hey, can we be here, that's it. The place where he is standing at this time is a small square, opposite the building of the "Yamato Bank" in the movie, Ning Hao said when chatting with the special effects party before, there is a big square here, and then several roads around, as long as they appear in the camera, no matter what is on both sides of the original road, they must be made into high-rise buildings, giving people a particularly prosperous feeling.

Zhang Bufan stood in the small square, drew a circle under his feet with both hands, it was not big enough, so he stretched his arms wider, drew a bigger circle, and then said: "Put a statue here, just the kind of wizard statue in this book, ride a horse, wear a suit of armor, wear a helmet with horns, take a katana, and make a googa road." ”

The so-called Yaga Yalu looks like pulling out a katana and pointing forward, in many film and television dramas, this sentence is regarded as the slogan of Officer Sushimoto when he gives the attack order......

"In that case, the square is not big enough. Ning Hao said.

"Expand, anyway, the surroundings are all high-rise buildings around you, just this small square, is it stumbling?" Zhang Bufan said, after filming the Northeast drama for such a period of time, and staying with Lei Jiayin for a long time, the accent of this product unconsciously has a little bit of a big ballast......

"You don't worry about the production cost at all. Ning Hao smiled bitterly, closed his eyes and thought about it, opened his eyes again, stood in the middle of the small square, slowly turned around in place a few times, clenched his fists and clapped his palms and said, "I think it's good, it's decided!"
