Ang Lee sighed, he had already seen Ding Cheng's hesitation, after all, he was a person who had seen big scenes, especially in Hollywood, no matter how awesome the director was, he would be used to being rejected.

Since you have a trip, it is not bad to have a good relationship, and there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future, relax your mood, and say lightly, "So far, no theater has the projection equipment that plays 4K+3D+120 frames!"

"On the contrary, in the mainland, there are nearly 30 theaters that have reached the highest screening standard of 4K+3D+120 frames, the most in the world. ”

Ding Cheng nodded, obviously feeling the other party's abandonment, and relaxed, and suggested, "The soft sci-fi concept of cloning is not uncommon in today's Hollywood, and the role setting of the outlaw agent is not a big selling point even in China......

"An investment of more than $100 million may be a bit risky!"

Li An nodded, admiring Ding Cheng's frankness, Ding Cheng continued, "I also have a bit of experience for one person to play two roles. ”

"Shadow Chase?" Ang Lee suddenly answered, "I've seen it, it's a very good work!"

Ding Cheng was stunned, since the other party has seen it, let's take out a lot of experience to share, although there is no fate cooperation this time, but as a leading figure in Chinese films, I still don't want this work to encounter Waterloo again.

The most typical is to have the actor perform twice in the same scene, during which the camera position, lighting, composition, etc. are all the same, and then the actor changes his costume, plays another role according to the mark on the ground, and finally appears at the same time through post-production.

Since Cheng Long's "Double Dragon Club" in 92, it can be regarded as a relatively early use of computer screen synthesis technology, allowing one actor to play two roles, and finally present it in one picture.

One can fight, one can't fight, one is Sven, the other is reckless, and there are a lot of opponents who play with themselves.

Even though the original technology was still a little blunt and many appeared, but on Hong Kong Island in that era, it was still very amazing to see two Cheng Long in a movie.

Mainland audiences are more familiar with the classic TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady" in 92, and the last few episodes of Xu Shilin's high school champion went to meet Xu Xian's recognition scene, which was also filmed in the same way.

When I was a child, I was stunned to see it!

With the continuous advancement of technology, the most significant progress is the birth and development of motion capture technology.

In the beginning, motion capture was only a small part of the special effects shots, such as the first film to use motion capture technology in the 90s, "Total Recall", where Schwarzenegger passed by X-rays for a few seconds.

By 97 Cameron's "Titanic", with the help of motion capture technology to build a C character action library, 01 "Final Fantasy" set a new milestone.

The Lord of the Rings made the famous motion-captured character Gollum. Andy Serkis has since become the first person in motion capture, including the subsequent "King Kong" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series.

In '08, David Fincher used "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" to try an elderly version of Brad Pitt's head. In '09, Cameron's "Avatar" further matured motion capture technology.

The maturity of capture technology is increasingly unable to meet the needs of more and more ambitious directors for digital live-action.

So the 15-year-old "Terminator 5" achieved Schwarzenegger's rejuvenation through C, and there was a fight between the old version of himself and the young version of himself in the movie, although it was very short, but it had burned a lot of money.

These technical means are used to achieve real-life reproduction or resurrection to some extent, but they do not appear for a long time, often only a few minutes or individual clips, and cannot interact with real actors for a long time.

Until last year's "Alita", 170 million dollars forcibly created a super high-imitation virtual person, with her as the protagonist to tell the story of the feature film, and put herself in the real world actors.

It turned out to be a mess!

Facing this legendary director, Ding Cheng has a sense of ambivalence. In his life, Ang Lee has been regarded as a legend by countless people. But the pain may only be known to him.

Looking back on his film career, it is destined to be his wandering career. Even he himself once recalled that in the eyes of the people of Baodao, he was regarded as a foreigner since he was a child......

In the eyes of Americans, he is a Chinese director who came to Hollywood to work hard......

In the eyes of mainlanders, they are the people of Treasure Island across the sea......

So no matter where you are,

can't escape the fate of outsiders!

Such an Ang Lee is undoubtedly lonely, and his film kingdom is also lonely. Compared to the grand occasion when 3D technology was widely used by the whole world in just a few years, the world's acceptance of 120 frames is obviously much slower.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the only one in the world to explore 120 frames per second, and even the sequel to Cameron's "Avatar" by technocratic Cameron only uses 48 frames per second.

When Billy Lynn's Halftime Fight was released three years ago, there were only two screens in the entire U.S. that could support the highest format, and today, that number is zero.

This is also why no American company is willing to invest, and in the end, it is the Chinese villagers who help pay the bill.

There is a saying that Ding Cheng does not vomit and is unhappy,

Why don't you continue to make literary films?

Even if it's Brokeback Mountain,

I'm willing to act, too!

Looking at the back of the old man leaving, my heart is full of respect, no matter how advanced the technology is, there will be a time when it will be outdated, just like from silent films to sound films, from black and white films to color films......

In the process of changing film history, how many former pioneers are just experiments of the times after all. Of course, there will be great successes, and Ding Cheng sincerely hopes that he can become the pioneer of the new era.

I just can't help but feel distressed,

He has always been serious about making movies, even in the face of a script like "Gemini Killer", which is completely unworthy of him, he is willing to spend so many years conscientiously.

But the biggest problem is that he is over the age of sixties,

How much longer can you toss around?

As the most internationally influential Chinese director who has won numerous awards, Ang Lee is not just in the world of 120 frames of technology.

No matter how awesome you are, you are not obligated to hold everyone accountable for one's fantasies.

Ding Cheng sighed, as a person of the same kind, he could feel the old man's persistence, not to mention that this is only the second part, I heard that there is a third part waiting?

I have filmed so many scenes, read countless scripts, and I don't know if it is because of the training of muscles, my instinct is getting stronger and stronger, and many times I can get an answer at first sight.

It is also because of this that I have been able to get to where I am today, basically I have never received a bad movie, and I have never lost money, which is also the main reason for a good reputation.

After all, movies are the art of burning money, no one wants to pay for the director's imagination, no matter what the subject matter is, there is no absolute standard, even if it is a niche suspense film, it can create a box office miracle.

To put it bluntly, what the audience asks for is also very simple,

It's just a wonderful story.
