Chapter 499: George Lucas

This is an action scene, and there is also a literary drama next to it, and the so-called literary drama refers to the shooting of several miniatures, such as two small cameras shooting at a very "weird" angle in front of the miniature of a desert scene.

"Bang!"

This miniature of the desert scene suddenly rises in a puff of smoke from one location, followed by small clusters of fire, and it is clear that this is a blasting scene.

After the blasting, another person put a scorpion prop in the "desert", and then used the remote control to control a scorpion to swim in the "desert", and the two front claws were clamped twice from time to time.

There are more than 20 people in this factory, and a group of three or four people shoots separately, Liu Lang doesn't know how to shoot, but he also understands that these shots should be sub-shots, and in the end they should be unified in one shot, for example, it is likely that the monster fought in the desert, and then stepped on the thunder, and as a result, a big scorpion was blown up.

If it's a traditional shooting, it's going to be very complicated, you have to find a location first, and then make a monster model and a scorpion model to fight with people, whether you can find a model as big as a person has to say two, even if you can find a real person to cooperate with the problem, and industrial light and magic solves this problem, they use artificial miniatures to create a background, basically you can do whatever you want, ocean, desert, Space or strange alien planets are no problem, and then use makeup technology to make a mannequin that can be worn by a real person, and as for other shapes, simply use a toy model.

This process seems simple, but it is very difficult to do, and the biggest difficulty is to integrate these scenes of different sizes and plausible models into one shot, which is probably only possible in the United States today.

The industrial light and magic of later generations, that is, Pixar, these special effects are basically rendered by computers in post-production, including human motion capture technology, and the combination of the two sides will basically achieve a real scene, but now computers have not yet been popularized, let alone processed in software, all shots are edited and edited. Pasting and other physical and technical means, such as Lucas's Star Wars ten years ago, its special effects are of course far ahead in this era, but in Liu Lang's eyes, it is really rough, and after 30 years, it will probably be the level of those five-cent special effects in China, but this is a difference of 30 years, so it seems that the level of domestic film special effects production is still far behind! It is even bigger than the gap between the industrial level of the two countries.

"Where's Mr. Lucas?"

Liu Lang asked the man, he is not begging the other party now, but to talk to Lucas about business, the business is neither big nor small, he is the boss, the other party is also the boss, and now the industrial light and magic is also on the verge of bankruptcy, the status of the two sides at the negotiation table is about the same, and even Liu Lang feels that he still has some advantages.

"George, the Saint Don Company is coming for you!"

The man shouted into the set.

As a result, a voice came from the "monster" that was wielding a large axe.

"Wait a minute!"

The "monster" put down the big axe, took off the two gloves, and then took off the helmet, and the staff next to him untied his coat again, and it took him ten minutes before he completely got rid of the monster coat.

"He's the great director George Lucas!"

Liu Lang has seen this world-famous director on the Internet, and his deepest impression is that this person has a thick beard, and the same is true now, this middle-aged man who is about forty years old has a beard, because he has been in the monster model for a long time, he is already sweating profusely at this time, he walked over with a towel while wiping his face.

"Hello Lin, why are you so free today?"

Lucas greeted Lin Guodong.

"Hello George, this is Jimmy Liu, the chairman of our Shengtang Company, and I'm here to talk to you about Transformers animation production. ”

Lin Guodong replied.

Chairman ...... What?

Lucas almost jumped when he saw Liu Lang.

"Hello Mr. Lucas, I am the chairman of Shengtang Company, it is a pleasure to meet you!"

Liu Lang stepped forward and took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"Lin, are you sure you didn't drink?"

Lucas ignored Liu Lang's outstretched hand, and instead looked at Lin Guodong.

"Mr. Lucas, this is the chairman of our Shengtang Company, and the owner of all the image patents of Transformers, the entire Transformers world was created by the chairman alone, I can't imagine that such a great person took the initiative to shake hands with you, but you ignored it, which really makes us feel sorry!"

Lin Guodong said coldly.

"Oh!"

Lucas was stunned, the other party didn't look like joking with him anymore, could it be that this kid had any superhuman skills?

"Hehe, it's me who is abrupt, hello Chairman Liu!"

As a well-known director in the United States, he also has an identity and status, which makes people pay the most attention to etiquette.

"It doesn't matter, we have an old saying in China, called ambition is not old, although I am still a child, but we are talking about business rather than age, let alone a child like me, even a baby can bring me dollars, I will also deal with him, Mr. Lucas, do you think I am right?"

"Uh-huh, yes, yes!"

One sentence made Lucas feel that this child was not ordinary, and he was by no means an ordinary child, and his contempt was immediately put away.

"Come, come and sit in my office!"

Lucas hurriedly led everyone to the office, where Star Wars models were placed everywhere, what spaceships, what space battleships.

"Mr. Lucas is really a sci-fi fan, and as a sci-fi fan, I'm very interested in your Star Wars movie, and your movie will usher in a new era!"

Liu Lang looked at these models and said slowly.

"Oh, haha, you little guy is really eye-catching, that's right, special effects movies are the development trend of world cinema, I personally always believe that half of the shots in the movies in 20 years will be completed with special effects, and my industrial light and magic is the company that leads the times!"

Lucas is very happy, it is his dream to create a new era of film, but no one has recognized this dream now, let alone someone else looking for him to make a movie, even if there is no one to invest in him, so that now the company is almost unable to open the pot, and Liu Lang said his dream as soon as they met, and Lucas regarded Liu Lang as a confidant in an instant.

"There's something so special about this kid!"

"What do you want to drink?"

Lucas asked.

"Just give us a cup of tea!"

Liu Lang replied.

"Good!"

Lucas personally poured a cup of tea for the four of them.
