Stars in the entertainment industry are very important, but works are even more important, as long as there are good works, they can continue to launch stars, that is, Adeis left Shengtang, and Liu Lang is also confident that he will launch others to be stars again.

Of course, Liu Lang now also feels that the Shengtang Company is a little too public, as the so-called Muxiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and the Americans will also engage in conspiracy and trickery, even if the Shengtang Company is reasonable and legal, but it can't stand other companies from stealing stumbling blocks, so Liu Lang asked Lin Guodong to privately contact Marvel and Disney to discuss cooperation, such as participating in each other's shares to become shareholders of their respective companies, and even using each other's animated images, which also makes the next step for Liu Lang to acquire Marvel and even Disney in the future.

The box office of "Die Hard" exceeded $40 million within a month of its release, becoming the first film in 88 to exceed $40 million in the first month, and it is also the highest-grossing film in the first month in two years, and the second place is "Vulgar", obviously, there is no problem with this movie breaking through 100 million, and it is also a high probability to break through 200 million.

Hollywood in '87 was the world of Shengtang Company, and many people thought that Shengtang would enter a stable period in 88, but they didn't expect them to get off to a good start at the beginning of the year.

And this is just the beginning, in April, when the box office of "Die Hard" exceeded 70 million US dollars, Shengtang released another big news, Shengtang Pictures has completed a feature-length animated film "Toy Story", which is the first film in history to be fully computer-produced special effects.

Ten years ago, Lucas directed Star Wars, this film made the film special effects technology to the extreme, and the box office was also a global hit, more than 700 million US dollars, becoming the highest-grossing film so far, at that time many people felt that the spring of special effects had arrived, but the film special effects at that time were only limited to model shooting, and its root lies in the use of advanced camera equipment and shooting techniques to shoot with the model, this process requires the use of a lot of machinery and manpower, when Lucas was filming Star Wars, it took more than 300 people to make a model aloneIt took three full years of preparation to complete.

So the cost of the first Star Wars movie also reached a record of 10 million US dollars, you must know that it was in '77, and such a high investment almost made the production company withdraw halfway.

In '83, Lucas produced the second Star Wars, and the box office of this movie was also good, exceeding 300 million US dollars, and the cost reached 15 million US dollars, but compared with the first one, it was much inferior, and according to later statistics, most of the 300 million box office were still Star Wars fans, and their support accounted for nearly 200 million of the box office, what does this mean? It shows that the influence of the second Star Wars movie is much less than that of the first one, and compared with the first movie, it is basically a failure.

The box office of the second Star Wars has shrunk sharply, which has poured cold water on many film companies, indicating that movie special effects are not omnipotent, and even a double-edged sword.

This is also the reason why Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic has not been able to turn a profit for five or six years since it was established, and it is also the reason why Liu Lang has picked up a big bargain.

Industrial Light & Magic was silent after being acquired by Liu Lang, and no one paid attention to it from the outside world, perhaps in the eyes of many people, the glory of Industrial Light & Magic has passed, and with the rise of Shengtang Company, more people just think that Lucas can climb such a company with great potential, and his luck is really good.

Now, the company has announced that the first cartoon in the history of film that was produced entirely by computer special effects was born, and how is this 77-minute animated film different from the past? This is also something that many people are puzzled about.

Of course, the first promotional video was released half a month ago, and millions of people saw this animated clip that was enough to be recorded in history for the first time, and their feelings were ......... This feeling can only be described as shocking.

The Transformers series of cartoons of the Shengtang Company has aired more than 70 episodes since the beginning of 87, basically one episode a week, and the duration of each episode is about 15 minutes.

In such an animation, the designer first has to draw a sketch of the story similar to a comic book, and then a designer is only responsible for a fixed character or other characters, and then the intermediate illustration is produced, that is, the plot is drawn.

The animator creates a middle drawing, interpolates a connecting drawing of the character's movements, and adds a drawing of interpolated continuous movements between the original paintings, so that the process is close to the natural movement at a specified time.

Finally, there was the post-compositing, and of course, the animation had to match the music, so the sound recording had to be done before the animation.

After the recording is completed, the animation producer also needs to accurately decompose the recorded sound into each picture position, that is, how many seconds to start speaking, how long the speech lasts, etc., and finally break down all the dubbing or sound effects into the bar table corresponding to the sound of each picture position, so that the whole animation sounds perfect.

Traditional cartoons are drawn on paper, which is called two-dimensional graphics, but "Toy Story" is not two-dimensional, but three-dimensional.

First of all, every character, every set, and every prop in "Toy Story" was designed by the art department, and then handed over to the modeling team, who made more than 400 three-dimensional models of these character set props , there are sixty of Woody's expressive mouths alone.

The art department is responsible for the color scheme and overall lighting effect of a shot, and the framing team is responsible for positioning the model, thinking about the frame of the lens, stipulating the position of the camera, and arranging each camera position. In order to achieve the realistic effect of live-action films, the group even mimicked live-action shots, such as the ring shot, which was used to shoot Woody surrounded by toys and blamed.

After framing, the camera goes to the animation production department, which is a 1561-shot, 77-minute animation work, where all animators are assigned tasks based on the shot, and then are responsible for all the animation effects in that shot (usually a 3-7 second shot).

For example, in the film, there is a group of green GIs made of plastic, each with their legs fixed to a base, and to better show their movements, an animator spikes a pair of sneakers to a board and wear them to practice this way of walking. When making a shot, animators often start with the character's body movements before dealing with facial expressions, forcing them to practice conveying the right emotions only through body language.

In addition, ILM pays special attention to the production of eyes, because nothing compares to the vitality that the eyes bring to a toy, the angle of a blink, or the position of the pupil in the eye socket when a character tries to peek at something, all of which are more realistic than other factors.

Then it was time for coloring, and the team created a total of 1,300 textures, from hardwood floors to Andy's hair. The lighting group is responsible for the light processing of the shot, such as setting the tone of the shot, reflecting the time, guiding the audience's line of sight, highlighting the emotions and personalities of the characters, etc., as well as some special light treatments, such as lighting but no shadows, illuminating but only illuminating the target object in front of you, and lighting "black" instead of "bright".

Finally, it is time to enter the rendering process, 72 VIE microsystem computers work 24 hours a day, and it takes 45 minutes to 10 hours to complete the rendering of a picture.

Overall, animation production is progressing steadily at a rate of five minutes a week.
