Chapter 1167
Aurora Special Effects has developed the latest software, and movies are often the best promotional tools.
For example, this time, the special effects of "King Kong" were handled by the Aurora special effects, and after seeing the special effects of "King Kong", other film companies that want to make similar movies will definitely think of the Aurora special effects first.
Because as we all know, maybe last year, the special effects production cost of "King Kong" was as high as hundreds of millions, but after "King Kong" is produced, if you want to make special effects similar to "King Kong", then the cost will drop significantly.
Because at this time, this kind of special effect no longer needs to develop new special effects software, just use it.
But Aurora special effects can't accept such orders at all, and other domestic special effects companies want to take it, but the price must be very high, at this time, what should I do?
Of course, it was the Aurora Special Effects that began to sell software usage rights and solutions.
Other special effects companies, in order to get orders from those film companies, but they can't do it themselves, and they can't afford such a large R&D fund, so they can naturally take a shortcut and buy the production software of the Aurora special effects directly.
Then you can take the special effects order of the film company at a relatively low price.
And the aurora effect earns the cost of this solution.
The current money-making model of the Aurora special effect is probably like this.
On the side of Lingxiao Pavilion, Lin Xiao gave Aurora Special Effect an order for a new type of special effects, so Aurora Special Effect will use this order to develop new special effects software.
In the end, you may not make any money, or even complete the order at a loss.
Such a price is naturally much lower than those foreign special effects companies, and then, when the movie of Lingxiao Pavilion is released, this kind of special effects, Aurora special effects, can be done.
And there are already mature solutions.
At this time, if other film companies want to produce this kind of special effects, they don't need to go abroad to be slaughtered, they just need to find domestic special effects companies.
Because in order to order, domestic special effects companies naturally need to find Aurora special effects ordering solutions.
And this comes at a cost!
But this cost is within the tolerance of the special effects company, and they can still make money, while for the film company, they can save a lot of special effects costs.
Because usually this kind of mature special effects do not require too much cost, but the special effects are good enough.
This has formed a virtuous circle, and of course, this virtuous circle is based on the fact that the aurora special effect can always maintain a leading position in technology.
At the same time, the special effects produced by the Aurora special effect are dazzling enough.
Monster movies rarely appear in China, why? The biggest problem is the cost!
In the early years, most monster movies used models and computer technology, but now most of the time, they are made with CG.
And no matter which one it is, because of technical problems, you want to be the first to eat crabs in China, no problem, just pay for it.
This technology may be able to be made by many top special effects companies abroad, but I'm sorry you want us to do it?
Even if the technology is already very mature, they will slaughter it fiercely.
And it's still a beautiful knife, so this has led to the fact that there are basically no real monster movies in China.
Until "King Kong" appeared, the special effects in it surprised some domestic directors and companies who were interested in this type of movie.
Because since the aurora special effect has been able to make such an effect, then other special effects companies should also be able to produce it soon, maybe the effect may not be so good, but it will definitely not be too bad.
And the point is, the price will certainly not be that high.
Therefore, after the release of the "King Kong" movie, in just over a month, there were more than 10 film projects of various monsters.
Why? Because it's not the same time it used to be.
Yes, in fact, it is to follow the trend! But it is the genre to follow the trend, which is very beneficial to the diversification of domestic films in China.
At least from today onwards, monster movies are no longer a blank in the domestic film industry.
Because if there is a first success, there will definitely be a second success, as long as there is one more success, then this type of movie will not be so scarce.
For example, director Nan Ke submitted a film project for "Divine Beast".
Then Tianxing also set up a project for a monster movie of "Gluttony".
ECCOM also engaged in a monster movie project of "Dinosaur World"!
Then here on the sweet potato video network, Chen Zhi also came to join in the fun.
Sweet potato video network bought a network god, "Monster Record". Plans to adapt it into a TV series!
For a time, there was a monster fever in China.
Not only movies, but also TV series have a lot of this kind of demand, but in the past, this kind of special effects were usually not very good, and they were jokingly called Wumao special effects, not because they were unwilling to spend more money, but because they really couldn't afford to burn that money.
The market for monster special effects is actually very large, and some non-monster movies, such as adventures and tomb robberies, sometimes need some special effects in this area.
Yes, it used to be possible, and the special effects of the TV series must be a little worse, but now, they can produce better effects for the same price, so naturally they know how to choose.
At the same time, Sanle Animation officially began to launch the Marvel Project!
Yes, the first film of the Marvel Project is about to be established.
The first Marvel Project movie is also a monster movie, "The Incredible Hulk"!
"Hulk" was actually relatively late in Marvel's plan, but under the influence of "King Kong", Sanle believes that it is more cost-effective to launch "Hulk" at this stage.
Because at present, domestic monster movies are beginning to emerge, and the audience is beginning to be interested in monster movies.
And in the Marvel project, "Hulk" is undoubtedly one of the few monster movies.
However, Lin Xiao does not plan to shoot this movie by himself, and has not yet begun to officially announce it, mainly because the director has some difficult births.
If "The Incredible Hulk" wants to be filmed well, it not only needs a director who can control it, but also a director who can tell a story.
In terms of the script, Sanle is already finalizing it.
It is expected to be able to complete the script of "The Incredible Hulk" by the end of the year.
But the director needs to start looking for it now.
At this time, James?? Qin entered Lin Xiao's line of sight.
Marvel's plan, of course, the goal cannot be just domestic, and if you want to break out of the country, this "Hulk", which has been sinicized, needs a director who can better understand Eastern and Western cultures to direct.
And James?? Qin, is a Chinese born in North America, and he received a Western education, but at the same time he is Chinese, plus his previous films "The Mystery of the World" and "Weeping Blood Loulan", in fact, in terms of storytelling, James?? Qin is still very good, the key is that he has just terminated the contract with the Heavenly Alliance.
