Chapter 485: Discoloration
Founded in 2007, Brilliant Special Effects is the No.1 film and television special effects in China, and it is also the first choice of many large companies.
However, there is an awkward problem with the brilliant special effects that stand firm, and there has never been a sci-fi masterpiece that can act as a faΓ§ade.
Special effects companies don't have to make science fiction films, and the business in the past few years has been doing magic, mythology, manga and other genres, but if you don't have it, you always feel a little awkward.
As the vice president of brilliant special effects, Wei Hang's trip is not only out of affection, but also with the idea of observation, he personally knows that the blue light in Beijing is from "Love Before the Dawn Breaks", and in a short period of time, it has changed from "knowing" to "thundering".
Now, because of Director Xie Jiang's relationship, he can finally get a glimpse of the real person.
It's just that Wei Hang also has some concerns in his heart, the success of brilliant special effects is inseparable from the support of domestic film and television companies, so he is very close to Xinyu and Kangrun, but Beijing Blu-ray has some friction with these two.
If it's simple friction, it's okay, but the blue light in the capital is getting brighter and brighter, so you have to let the brilliant special effects re-examine each other.
Wei Hang talked and laughed with director Xie Jiang along the way, but his mind was full of the emergency meeting held in the company last night, and he came to pay tribute to his family this time with more personal status, but the attention of the company's senior management was not as light as it seemed on the surface.
At 10:10 in the morning, Wei Hang met Mr. Gan Jing, the chairman of Beijing Blu-ray, a famous domestic director, the actor of the Beijing Film Festival, the wonderful music producer in the music world, and the father of the best supporting actress.
"Hello, hello, Mr. Gan, I have admired the name for a long time, and I haven't seen you until today. Wei Hang shook his hands after Xie Jiang's introduction and said with a smile, "I am Wei Hang of Beijing Brilliant Visual Effects Co., Ltd." β
Gan Jing glanced at Xie Jiang, shook hands and said, "Mr. Wei, it's so formal, you're welcome, Old Xie is my friend, and I have prepared all the wine for you." β
He turned his head to Xie Jiang and said, "Wine is the best wine, but you can't drink it, Lao Xie, Xiao Xie and I have said hello." β
Xie Jiang said angrily: "Is his words effective or my words effective?"
Gan Jing smiled slightly: "I decided to respect Xiao Xie's opinion in this matter." Come, come, let's go in and chat, Mr. Wei, you know Lao Zhang, this is Chu Hui, the president of our company, and she handles all the basic affairs. β
Zhang Zhonghui greeted casually, and Chu Hui's handshake and self-introduction were much more formal.
The living room is large, the sofa is soft, the temperature is good, and the red wine is conspicuous.
However, the first thing Wei Hang noticed was the slightly scattered documents on the coffee table, as well as a piece of manuscript paper with rough handwriting.
What were they talking about just now? Is the purpose of this trip to bring me here to be a science fiction film or to win over the close companies that divide and divide New Entertainment?
Wei Hang had a smile on his face, thinking quickly in his heart.
"The first time I met Mr. Wei, I felt very kind. Gan Jing looked at Wei Hang, who was about thirty years old and looked at the very Sven, and said with a smile, "I'm also quite familiar with special effects." β
Wei Hang quipped: "Mr. Gan just said don't let me be polite, I can't hide it, I've seen every movie of Mr. Gan, including "Deadly", which has never been released, but there are not many films that really use special effects." β
Gan Jing was surprised: "Have you also seen "Deadly"? That film has not been released until now, and it is a bit difficult to review it." Yes, I don't use special effects in many films, and I finally wanted to find brilliant special effects for the last time I filmed "Kung Fu" and declined. β
Wei Hang's heart sank slightly, and he still smiled: "I'm not responsible for the business, but I also heard that the company was very busy at that time, and all the employees worked overtime, as if the time for "Kung Fu" was also very tight, and the company refused out of various considerations and was afraid of delaying the release plan of the movie. β
Gan Jing nodded and said noncommittally: "The schedule is really tight. β
The two chatted briefly, and everyone sat down.
Still Gan Jing continued to speak.
"Mr. Wei, I don't know if Lao Xie has told you in detail, this time Lao Zhang and I are planning to make a sci-fi-themed series, oh, it can't be called a series, it's a medium-term plan. β
Xie Jiang let out a "hmm" in his heart, and glanced at Gan Jing, which seemed to be different from what he said yesterday.
"I have said on different occasions that the film market needs to be cultivated and guided, take "Murder Hunting" as an example, before its release, there was no police theme in the market that did not perform too well. β
Since then, not to mention "Infernal Affairs 1 and 2", not "Murder Hunt", other companies have also had films with good responses such as "Loyalty to Death", "Tracking", and "Trainee Film Police". β
"Before this, film and television companies didn't dare to shoot, disdained to shoot, felt niche, and felt that they would lose money, but judging from this performance, is the market not enough?"
Gan Jing said eloquently: "Science fiction films are the same thing, but some differences are that a considerable part of its factors are at the level of special effects rather than traditional factors such as directors and actors. Mr. Wei, I temporarily drew two storyboards last night, you can see, this is roughly the effect. β
Wei Hang thought it was a casual chatting atmosphere, but seeing that this posture was really formal, he took the two drawings handed over by Gan Jing, and listened to the communication between Zhang Zhonghui and Xie Jiang while looking at the storyboard.
There are some differences in the style of the two storyboards, one is delicate and the other is brief, probably because the time is too tight.
Wei Hang gave a "good painting" evaluation in his heart, and said: "Mr. Gan, the effect on the picture alone is okay, "The Martian" is right, this spacesuit, rover, and Martian mountains are all right." β
He paused, then asked, "What do the dots under this drawing represent?"
"Martian soil," replied, "to be precise, the weathered clastic material of the rocks, made up of red fines and breccia debris. β
"Huh?" Wei Hang was a little surprised.
Gan Jing interrupted the whispered communication with Chu Hui and said: "The special effects of this film have to be taken care of realistically, the accuracy and details have to be improved, and there are more pure CG pictures, well, the ray tracing renderer is more useful, and the light on Mars must be considered." β
Wei Hang opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
"Hey, yes, you're all rendering in redshift now, right?" Gan Jing thought for a moment and continued, "That time should be pretty fast." Let's see how "The Martian" can be done this year, if you can, Lao Zhang and I have a package, one a year, "The Moon", "Heaven and Earth Collision", "Arrival", "Alien" and so on. β
Wei Hang listened to the words that ordinary people in the industry don't know much, his face changed a little, the difficulty of the special effects is not high, but in the fine details, for example, hair, a wolf in the movie may have as many as 10 million hairs.
As for ray tracing and redshift renderers, the company just mentioned this aspect this year as a goal for this year.
Xie Jiang saw Wei Hang's face change, thinking that the vice president was a little surprised by the amount of business that might be available in the future, and he was also a little surprised in his heart, it turned out that Gan Jing and Zhang Zhonghui had already planned.
It's a shame that yesterday I thought he really wanted to make a movie for Gan Xuesi on a whim.
Hey, I'm blinded by this!
