Chapter 724: Pie in the Sky (4000+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
In the afternoon, Wu Jianye went to see the special effects class of the college, which was still an elective course, and more students from the Department of Photography and the Department of Directing came to this course.
The previous "Jurassic Park" directed by Wu Jianye can be said to have opened a new era of movie special effects, and the arrival of Wu Jianye naturally has many students who want to ask Wu Jianye how he did the special effects in "Jurassic Park".
"Mr. Wu, I've already seen Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs in it are so realistic, can you tell us how to make it?" There was a student who was wearing glasses that were tied with a small white rope, and he looked like a Sven Wen, that is, his clothes were a little tattered, and he was wearing a green tweed army coat that had been washed and turned white.
In the seventies and eighties, the green tweed army coat was still a status symbol, but by now, the green tweed army coat has long been abandoned and replaced by trendy down jackets.
The teacher smiled: "This is Huang Zilu from the Department of Photography, who has always been very interested in special effects, and is our top student here." ”
Wu Jianye smiled: "I didn't participate in the specific operation of the special effects of "Jurassic Park", and it was handed over to the digital field of Phantom Media to do, but the general thing, I still understand, is that they are a combination of model and computer technology, and also add some CGI technology, green screen technology, which involves a lot of work." ”
Huang Zilu nodded and said, "Mr. Wu, I heard that doing special effects is a very expensive act, right?"
Wu Jianye said: "Yes, the production cost of the movie "Jurassic Park" is 63 million US dollars, and the cost of special effects is about 40 million US dollars!"
After listening to this, the students in the classroom couldn't help but be speechless!
40 million US dollars, what kind of concept this is, they can't even imagine.
And Huang Zilu showed a somewhat sad expression and said: "With such investment, we have no way to shoot in China!"
Wu Jianye smiled, and said in his heart, this has not told them the production cost of "Terminator 2", and the "Terminator 2" filmed by the technical freak James Cameron is a big money-burner.
Even Linda was trembling when she approved the budget for James Cameron, for fear that she would not be able to recover the cost.
"Jurassic Park" is a special movie, in fact, the special effects of a normal science fiction movie in Hollywood will not reach this height, of course, if you want the movie to achieve the picture that the director wants, the cost is certain, and in the future film shooting, special effects are definitely an indispensable project. ”
It's still Huang Zilu, "Mr. Wu, our domestic film market, you know, the investment in a movie is only about one million yuan, and it is almost impossible to shoot a high-level special effects movie, and now with the movie "Jurassic Park" in front of us, even if we develop slowly, the special effects will not reach the level that movie audiences expect now!"
Wu Jianye glanced at Huang Zilu seriously this time, but he didn't expect that some students would think about the problem so thoroughly now, the reason why special effects movies can be popular in Hollywood is because Hollywood movies have a big box office in Europe and the United States.
And the current situation in China is that even if such talents are cultivated in film academies, there is no suitable soil to accompany domestic films to make such films!
At present, the cost of domestic film investment is generally about 1.5 million yuan, which is not enough to watch for special effects!
"The domestic film industry will definitely develop slowly, and now the country has announced Document No. 3, which is a progress in itself, as long as we can develop, there will be a day when we can catch up with them!"
Huang Zilu scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid this time is not short!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Those who can endure loneliness can finally become masters!"
When watching the students' works later, because of the question just now, Wu Jianye also paid special attention to Huang Zilu's works, Huang Zilu's works are obviously influenced by "Jurassic Park", and the computer animation made is also about animals.
But unlike "Jurassic Park", this animation is not a dinosaur, but a Chinese dragon, although in Wu Jianye's eyes, this animation is still very rough, but compared with his classmates, it is already the best, and even in terms of technology in this era, it is also good.
"Yes, it's good to be able to do it at this level!"
Wu Jianye patted Huang Zilu on the shoulder to express encouragement.
Huang Zilu helped his eyes, revealing a hint of shyness, "Actually, I originally wanted to be a divine beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but I didn't have too many references, and I couldn't keep up with the time and equipment." ”
Wu Jianye smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and after reading the works of other students, he left the classroom.
However, when he left the classroom, Huang Zilu was surrounded by a lot of classmates, and they naturally wanted to see the works that Wu Jianye could praise.
After reading it, take a look at your own works, and there are indeed some works that are not as good as others.
Some students congratulated from the bottom of their hearts, while others just pouted and left.
sat back in his place and muttered: "What's the use, domestic movies can't be used, I can only operate on the computer in the classroom, and I can't make any climate!"
Someone next to him heard it and agreed: "That's it, didn't Mr. Wu just praise a few words and didn't do anything!"
In this regard, Huang Zilu didn't say anything, just continued to play with his works, and after a while, the students in the classroom picked up their books one after another, got up and left, Huang Zilu was a little reluctant to turn off the computer, and if he wanted to make something, he would have to wait until the next class!
He is already a senior student, in fact, he should have gone to the internship a long time ago, but because he was obsessed with special effects after opening this class in the college, he was obsessed with special effects, so he has been skipping classes, and he is confused when he thinks of his future prospects.
He thought about going abroad, but his family conditions, let alone going abroad, are difficult to go out of Yan Kyoto!
With his head down, thinking about his own business, he walked out of the classroom, only to feel that someone was in front of him.
Huang Zilu looked up and saw Wu Jianye standing in front of him, and the other students who wanted to go out also saw Wu Jianye, thinking of Wu Jianye's performance towards Huang Zilu in class just now, and stopped curiously, and the two students who complained about Huang Zilu were also among them.
Wu ....... Teacher Wu!"
Wu Jianye looked at Huang Zilu with a smile on his face, and said, "I just checked your information and knew that you are already a senior this year, why haven't you found an internship in a unit yet!"
Huang Zilu said a little nervously: "I want to ...... I want to use the computer more and see if I can make the special effects I want!"
Wu Jianye said, "Is there something wrong at night?"
Huang Zilu nodded subconsciously, and then quickly shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
"That....... I'm going to the cafeteria for dinner......" Huang Zilu said, the school cafeteria is the cheapest for Huang Zilu!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to eat, so let's do it, you go to a place with me, and then I will invite you to dinner in the evening!"
Huang Zilu's height is slightly shorter, only one meter seven, much shorter than Wu Jianye, at this time he feels as if he has an opportunity to hit his head, with an excited expression on his face: "Really?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely invite you to dinner!"
Huang Zilu's face turned red and said, "I'...... That's not what I meant!"
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said, "Okay, come with me!"
After finishing speaking, Wu Jianye turned around and left, and Huang Zilu also took a few steps in the envious eyes of many students, and left with Wu Jianye!
When the two came to the gate of the academy, Dai Zhen was already waiting for them.
Zhao Fei didn't stay in the academy in the afternoon, and went back after lunch, Wu Jianye asked Huang Zilu to follow him into the car, and then said to Dai Zhen: "Go to the company!"
Dai Zhen didn't say much, and said to the driver when he got into the car.
The car is heading towards the dignified culture!
Along the way, Wu Jianye didn't talk much about Huang Zilu, but just casually asked about Huang Zilu's family situation.
I knew that Huang Zilu grew up with his father, his mother passed away early, and his father's body still had some problems, although it was not a major illness, but he scratched his head when he was sick.
When they came to Tangting Culture, it was already off work, Dai Zhen opened the door of the company, and Wu Jianye walked in with Huang Zilu.
Then he came directly to a room on the second floor, and as Wu Jianye opened the door, Huang Zilu's eyes were straight!
Wu Jianye pointed to the equipment in the room and smiled: "This is the special effects room of the court culture, there are other equipment in the next few rooms, and these devices are the same as the equipment in the digital field, if you are interested, these things here will be yours in the future!"
Although Tangting Culture has its own special effects room, many talents are still studying in North America, and these special effects rooms are actually a bunch of decorations for Tangting Culture, but Wu Jianye didn't expect to go to the academy to take classes, and he could meet talents like Huang Zilu.
This is definitely an unexpected joy for Wu Jianye, to be able to reach Huang Zilu's results at the level of domestic special effects education, his talent in special effects is absolutely amazing!
Therefore, it is not that there are no talents in China, but there is a lack of soil for cultivating talents, just like Huang Zilu, if there is no Wu Jianye's appearance, his future achievements will definitely not be too high, unless he chooses to go abroad, but even so, whether he can join those top special effects companies is another matter.
In the absence of a platform, Huang Zilu's future way out is likely to be just a blur!
Huang Zilu asked excitedly, "Teacher Wu, are you telling the truth?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Of course, if you want, I can also arrange for you to go to the digital realm to study for a while." ”
In the past, someone always told Huang Zilu that it was impossible to drop a pie from the sky, but at this time, Huang Zilu felt that he was really hit by a pie falling from the sky.
"Teacher Wu, I ......."
Now Huang Zilu is so excited that she doesn't know what to say.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "In the class before, we have discussed that there may be a big problem with domestic film special effects if you want to catch up with the level of North America, but there is one thing I didn't tell you, in the next five years, I will definitely shoot a special effects movie from our Huaxia, I hope that you can become the leader of Huaxia movies in special effects, so that foreigners know that we can also shoot shocking special effects in Huaxia!"
For a student like Huang Zilu who has not yet graduated from college and is full of ideals in his heart, Wu Jianye's words are the easiest to excite the other party!
And Huang Zilu was even more excited, and immediately assured Wu Jianye: "Teacher Wu, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task you assigned!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Of course I believe it, otherwise I wouldn't have found you, I know that a large part of your senior freshmen have already started internships, so let's tell the academy, in the next few days, you don't need to go to the academy to take classes, just familiarize yourself with these devices here, if you perform well, I will let someone arrange for you to study in the digital field after a while!"
After talking to Huang Zilu, Wu Jianye said to Dai Zhen again: "Find a place for Huang Zilu near here tomorrow, and then prepare all the daily necessities!"
Dai Zhen nodded and said, "Okay!"
Huang Zilu hurriedly said: "Teacher Wu, no need, I just live in the school, I promise that I won't be late every day, I can't live in the company!"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "Needless to say, since you are now a member of the company, the company will be responsible for you, these things have been decided, besides, even if you don't live, you have to find a suitable place for your father to live, the compound where you live, the environment is not very good, and it is not conducive to his recuperation!"
"As for the salary, you don't have to worry, from tomorrow, you will be an employee of the company, the company will arrange according to the treatment of regular employees, the monthly salary is now set at 300 yuan, and when your contribution comes up in the future, the company will not treat you badly!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
As for why Wu Jianye knew that the environment of the compound where Huang Zilu lived was not good, it was completely his guess, just looking at Huang Zilu's current situation, he knew that the conditions of his family were definitely not much better.
At this time, through the thick spectacle lenses, you can see the tears contained in Huang Zilu's eyes!
It feels so good to have pie in the sky!
Wu Jianye said: "Put away that thing, the old man will shed blood, sweat and tears, and it will get better and better in the future!"
Huang Zilu nodded heavily: "Hmm!"
