On the outskirts of Kyoto, in a holographic projection studio at a science fiction film and television base.

Nolan, the world-renowned ghost director in the past two years, is shuttling between holograms like a child at this time.

"Peng, this is amazing, I feel like I'm really in the universe now. My arms were even able to pass through the sun. Nolan looked at the other side of the studio, and Peng Yichen, who was deploying equipment, smiled.

"What you're seeing now is the footage we used to shoot the beginning of the bomb destroying the solar system when we were filming 'The Country Teacher'. Well, with this kind of equipment, you can shoot anything you imagine as if it were a live action. However, there is no trace of computer post-compositing, and it is the most realistic image effect. Peng Yichen explained with a smile.

He knows that Nolan is the staunchest supporter of live-action shooting, both in his past and present lives, and there are very few shots in his films that use computer special effects to synthesize.

Don't look at Nolan in Peng Yichen's previous life, he shot so many movies, but none of them were completed by relying on computer-generated special effects.

He tends to use a lot of physical models, using the method of real-life visual error, to shoot those shots that can be shot very easily with computer-generated special effects.

Peng Yichen can understand why he did this, because no matter how realistic the computer special effects are, they can never be compared to live action shooting in terms of depth of field algorithms and color matching.

But the holographic projection technology that Peng Yichen brought out from the world of "Country Teacher" can just solve this problem.

It perfectly reproduces the effects required for any special effects shot and is 100% live-action.

But there is no need to make a lot of props and sets.

This is the 'artifact' that directors like Nolan dream of.

It's a pity that this equipment is closely protected by Chen Jing Film Company. Directors of other companies can't even see it, let alone use it to make movies.

Even the films of Warner Pictures and Summit Pictures can only tell the shots that need to be filmed to Chen Jing Film Company, and then the company's special effects technicians will shoot them with holographic image equipment and then hand them over to the crews of these two companies.

Nolan can be said to be the only person in the world who has ever seen this device, but is not an employee of Chen Jing Film Company or a contracted director.

"Peng, you must use this device for me. The script for my next movie, Inception, you've seen it too. With this kind of equipment, I can save a lot of manpower, material resources, and time when shooting. A lot of the designs in my mind can also be realized and photographed more perfectly. Nolan excitedly walked up to Peng Yichen and prayed to him.

Peng Yichen didn't reply to him, but diverted the topic and said: "Nolan, I heard that you don't want to direct the "Batman" series anymore, can you tell me why?"

Nolan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, he was not a businessman who could talk nonsense with his eyes open and his cheeky skin on the city walls, he was a talented director and artist.

The "Batman" series of trilogy, he has signed a coaching contract with Warner, and if he quits halfway, he knows how much trouble it will bring to Warner.

Therefore, he was a little embarrassed.

But as a director with his own thoughts, he can't accept many of the regulations of the "Batman" crew, as long as he directly states his reasons.

"Peng, you know, I'm not a man of my word. But you are also a director, and you should know that shooting a movie of your own is the core pursuit of a director. In the "Batman" series of movies, I have no control over the special effects, costumes, props, sets, and even the selection of actors and the image of leaving the country. This feeling is too bad for me to accept. Nolan grumbled with some dissatisfaction.

"But the plot setting, the composition of the photography, and the final editing power, the most important core powers, are still in your hands, aren't they?" Peng Yichen understood his thoughts, but it didn't mean that he could accept Nolan's approach.

Today he asked Nolan to come here just to convince this "strong donkey".

"Yes, I know, I've got most of the power. And I'm very grateful that you'll give me the final editing rights as well. But you know, a lot of things are out of your control, my creative passion is going to drop badly, and I can't guarantee the final result of this film, so I'd rather not make it. Nolan still wouldn't back down, and he continued to explain his thoughts.

Peng Yichen had long expected that he would say these words, so he had already prepared.

"I understand your idea, but I can't support your idea......" Peng Yichen stopped Nolan, who wanted to interject, and said with a smile: "Previously, when you first took over the "Batman" series, I didn't tell you my plan, I just didn't want to affect your free creation. But now that you've felt something different. Then I can only talk about my plan, tell you the whole thing, and you will understand why I have set up a 'special effects design department' to be responsible for all the special effects and image design work of the DC Comics film series. ”

Speaking of this, Peng Yichen took Nolan back to the office, asked someone to pour him a cup of coffee, brought him a cup of tea, and then said slowly: "Do you know the Marvel Cinematic World plan?"

Nolan nodded, in the past two years, the hottest movie in Hollywood is Peng Yichen's movie, followed by the Marvel adaptation.

From "Iron Man", "Captain America" to "Hulk", "Thor", and now "Avengers 1", which is about to be released.

This series of movies is all like pearls, strung together by a world thread, forming an increasingly huge movie world.

The ambitions of Disney and Marvel are gradually being wary of other Hollywood companies.

But I have to admit that their final approach is indeed very bold and effective.

Fans like this kind of tone that is composed of the simplest character stories and finally combined to form a huge worldview.

But although everyone can see Disney's general plan, they don't have a very clear understanding of how to do it, and can only see some things floating on the surface.

This is also the reason why Time Warner's "Watchmen" filmed the year before last would lose a lot.

They just blindly follow the trend, but they don't understand the essence of the Marvel Universe movie series at all.

Peng Yichen has experience brought from later generations, so he clearly knows the real secret of the success of the Marvel Universe movie series.

"Of course I know, do you also want to use the DC Comics movie adaptation, do a DC Comics Universe movie series, and play against Marvel?" Nolan asked in surprise.

"Why not? DC Comics superheroes are no less than Marvel, and the popularity of many heroes is much higher than that of Marvel heroes? Why can't Warner make a DC Comics Universe series of movies?" Peng Yichen said with a smile.
