Chapter 57: The Special Effects Artist Who Can't Hide
From his expression and tone, Meng Xiaobai already felt his strong sense of resistance, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that this is really a challenging task!"
"Yes, the challenge is too high for us. Wu Binghui hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, since the challenge is so high...... Meng Xiaobai paused, "Then take this task!"
"Huh?" Wu Binghui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't, Mr. Meng, boss, I really don't want to see that director anymore!"
"Don't worry!" Meng Xiaobai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Isn't there still me? ”
"I ......" Wu Binghui wanted to cry without tears, but he couldn't imagine that he would not be able to escape this "fate" in the end!
In desperation, Wu Binghui still dialed the phone number of "Dumplings", the director of "Demon Boy Nezha".
"Old Wu, are you actually calling me?" Dumpling's voice was a little unbelievable, because he had strict requirements for special effects before, Wu Binghui took a detour when he saw him, let alone took the initiative to contact him.
"It's me. Wu Binghui's face was black.
"I heard that you left your job?" said Dumpling slightly apologetically, "You can't really blame me, the perspective effect of the picture is just a little worse." ”
"Don't talk about that. Are your special effects done?" asked Wu Binghui.
"How can it!" Dumpling sighed, "I've found several special effects companies, but none of them can achieve the effect I want." I'm afraid I'm going to lose some of the most exciting special effects shots!"
"Let me try. Wu Binghui said.
"What?" Dumpling suspected that he had misheard, Wu Binghui actually took the initiative to ask for his special effects task!
"It's not April Fool's Day, is it?" asked Dumpling again.
"Do you think I want to?" Wu Binghui said, "I have changed to a new company, and the boss asked me to take on the task!
"Hahaha...... Sun Monkey, you still can't escape the palm of my hand!" Dumplings laughed after hearing this.
Wu Binghui successfully received the special effects task of the animated film "Demon Boy Nezha", and the challenge has just begun.
Those simple special effects pictures have been completed by the producers with other companies, and all they are left with are the most difficult pictures and details.
When the members of Deep Space Digital Studio saw the mission request, they went crazy. And after they tried it for three days, it was even more miserable.
"What? What is an animated movie doing with such high special effects?"
"I'm rubbing, this director is a madman, isn't he? What kind of tribulation clouds, lightning pillars, and thunderstorms...... Such a high demand!"
"Forget it! What else does he want to do with super special effects that turn the stars and the sun and the moon alternate! This is impossible to complete!"
"The boss is too cheating on him, how can he complete such a task?" the employees said they couldn't do anything.
"Who said it can't be done?" Meng Xiaobai's voice came, and the employees in the studio immediately remained quiet.
"It's really a little too difficult!" Wu Binghui looked at the picture in front of his computer, his hair was about to be bald, and it was still the special effects picture of "Shen Gong Leopard changed from a human face to a leopard face", which was just a little more than a second of special effects, which made him feel exhausted.
In the eyes of the general audience, this is nothing special. But for special effects artists, they want to enrich the details not a little, they want to make the face image switch smooth, not abrupt, reflect the realism of the hair, and at the same time create a sense of demonic evil......
In the case of hardware support, the software rendering effect must be very exquisite, otherwise the effect will be unsatisfactory and will not be visually shocking.
Meng Xiaobai looked at everyone in the studio and said, "Everyone seems to be a little dissatisfied with my request to take on this task. ”
The employees didn't speak, but their expressions spoke for themselves. Wu Binghui said in a low voice: "This task, in fact, the money is not very much. ”
Unlike "Demon Capital Fortress", "Demon Boy Nezha" only invested 60 million, so there is not so much money to do special effects.
Otherwise, such a special effects list of dumplings would not have been handed over to their new studio, precisely because they are cheap!
"You think it's a difficult task, it's hard to do. But I want to tell you, in fact, this is a very simple job!" Meng Xiaobai said, "Today, I will show you how to make a satisfactory special effect in three minutes!"
"What? Mr. Meng would still do this?" the employees were a little puzzled.
"Three minutes, hehe, it's too good at bragging!" they didn't think so, but in order not to lose the boss's face, they didn't open their mouths to question.
"Mr. Meng, this matter is really not as simple as you think!" Wu Binghui was speechless, he now felt that this boss was completely messing around.
Let him take on the most difficult task, even if he even said that it would take three minutes to make a super difficult special effects picture. Does this mean that these professional special effects and visual effects artists are all eating dry food? He can't bear it!
"Don't be busy questioning it yet!" Meng Xiaobai pointed to his computer and said, "Are you going to do this special effect of Shengong Leopard turning into a leopard's head?"
"Okay!" Wu Binghui was so angry with him, in his opinion, Meng Xiaobai was questioning his professional level! Just let him come and see what he could make!
The other employees of the studio also gathered around, and they all made eye contact, with some helplessness. Some people are even thinking about how to face such an embarrassing scene when the boss makes a fool of himself.
"The first step is to download this software! This is my latest work, the world's smartest and most advanced image processing software. I call it, Future Light and Shadow. Meng Xiaobai first uploaded a piece of software to the computer.
"Future light and shadow?" Everyone present had never heard of this software, and it was made by Meng Xiaobai himself.
They don't believe it, now the top image processing software, such as PS, Houdini, Illusion, etc., are the products of foreign software companies, produced by a team of top programmers, and have also been tested in practice, and have produced many special effects for Hollywood blockbusters.
Meng Xiaobai made it himself, what can he do? Maybe it's not as good as the Meitu App!
"This software is currently not open for public download, and only the company's internal employee accounts can download and use. Meng Xiaobai continued to explain, not caring about the mental activities of these people at all.
This is the software he and Maruko co-made, versatile and powerful, if it weren't for the hardware performance of the computer, this software could be more intelligent!
Meng Xiaobai clicked on the future light and shadow, and began to officially produce the special effects picture of "Shengong Leopard from a human face to a leopard head".
"Old Wu, timer!" he commanded, Wu Binghui had to turn on the timer on his mobile phone, and the timing number began to beat.
