Chapter 143 Do your best
Saturday, December 4th.
The seventh floor of the building where the Minghu Culture Company is located.
In one office, a staff member is repeatedly playing a nine-second footage to Li Qian.
Around Li Qian, there were also three or four staff members around, and they enjoyed the picture on the screen with him repeatedly - the white lady Bai Suzhen put her hands together, and suddenly a ball of lustful white light condensed above her fingertips, and then, she stretched out her hand, and a pale white beam of light was shaped like a lightsaber, and quickly shot out!
On the screen, the landslide cracks!
Anyone who watches TV series knows that this must be fake, and even people with a little imagination can understand that the picture of the landslide must have been blown up with explosives, but it doesn't matter if you know, everyone knows that this is acting and telling a story, but the problem is that as the storyteller and the filming, you can't use this as a reason to relax the requirements for the picture.
Outside the story, everyone knows that it is fake, it is deliberately filmed, but in the story, it is, and must be true - even, for a film and television drama, the top picture is to let the audience know that it is fake, but it still feels real!
To achieve this step, in the place where the play is played, it is necessary to rely on the actor's entry and performance, but the kung fu outside the performance depends on the processing and processing in the later stage.
The original version of "The Legend of the New White Lady" in Li Qian's memory, of course, is of course of a very high standard in terms of actors' performances, but due to the background of the times, scientific and technological strength, and the amount of investment at that time, although the special effects have achieved a high level at that time, I have to say that it is still very fake.
The times are really moving too fast, and top-level works like "The Legend of the New White Lady" were filmed in the early nineties. I had to leave such a little regret, but in fact, in less than ten years, the foreign "Titanic" has made the picture special effects of the 2D era almost perfect!
And now, in another time and space, Li Qian photographed the time period of it. It is already in the same period as the big ship, as far as Li Qian knows, the big ship that has been filmed there for two years has just been sealed at the beginning of this year, and it is estimated that it is also doing the late stage now, so, theoretically speaking, since the big ship can do that to that extent, it means. The era of special effects is about to begin, and although the domestic scientific and technological strength is slightly inferior, as long as you work hard, at least there should not be that qualitative gap with the other party.
In fact, in this time and space, the domestic scientific and technological strength and economic strength far exceed the level of the same era in other time and space, so Li Qian is confident. I also prepared enough money and decided to make the special effects of this play as good as possible at the moment. Strive not to leave any regrets for yourself and this play.
For this reason, while deciding to do this play, he has begun to contact several small and medium-sized image processing studios in China, whether it is an acquisition or a joint venture, in short. wanted to dig up all those people, and then, she also authorized Qi Jie to buy the sixth and seventh floors of this building in his own name.
At present, the seventh floor where Li Qian is located has already hung the signboard of the Minghu Cultural Image Processing Center in early September this year. And then carried out a centralized decoration, in mid-October, the initial decoration was completed, and then there was a considerable number of office equipment, image processing equipment stationed and installed, and detailed decoration, and by the end of November, there have been dozens of people here to move in, began to debug the equipment, while ready to start work at any time.
At the beginning of December, with the official closure of the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady" and Li Qian's return to Shuntianfu, it suddenly became more and more lively, seven days a week, at least ten hours a day, there are dozens of computers and large-scale professional-grade image processing equipment in operation.
The acquisition of those small and medium-sized studios, to be honest, does not cost much, although it is necessary to promise the other party future equity and dividends, but in Li Qian's view, from the perspective of the future, from the perspective of understanding the gold content of special effects, this investment is not much. It's the equipment that's really valuable.
That's it, in fact, what Minghu Culture bought is just a batch of relatively ordinary equipment, and the real first-class technology will never be sold by Hollywood companies!
But even so, after throwing out a lot of money, seeing the first scene of special effects made by these staff, Li Qian couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of achievement!
Of course, it's not perfect.
Li Qian watched it more than a dozen times, then signaled to pause, turned his head and said to Lu Ming, the leader in charge of the image processing center: "Although I know that the current domestic satellite signal or the resolution of the TV series at the audience's home are not enough to see too much, but you pay attention to it...... Give me a first frame, yes, stop! When Bai Suzhen has this ball of light in her hand, pay attention to it, this place, this area, is obviously dropping frames, the color is not right, and the clarity is not at all up to the normal level! Perhaps, you can't see it on TV, but what about selling VCDs in the future? What about DVDs? Or, with the advancement of technology in the future, the audience will want to buy a very high-definition version to collect? This place will become insufficient, right?"
Lu Ming licked his lips and nodded.
He graduated from the computer department of Shuntian University, and after graduation, he went to the United States to study for a master's degree and a doctorate, and then worked in Hollywood for three or four years, returned to China the year before last, and founded Lu Ming Image Service Company, and according to Li Qian's investigation, the technology is quite good, but he is an outsider, and he has not received any work in the film and television industry.
Then, for his half-dead company, Li Qian bought it at a premium of 50%, and, in addition to high salaries and bonuses, he also promised to give him certain dividends and options in the future, and then he decided to join at that time and served as the manager of the image processing center of Minghu Culture Company.
And now, obviously, the time has come to test him and the strength of this new team that he has formed after integrating several small companies and small studios.
He is a technical person, and of course he is also an absolute doer.
Hearing Li Qian's new request, his reaction was only one sentence except for nodding his head and agreeing. "It's a bit difficult, in the past, the jobs I took weren't that demanding, but I'll give it a try and give me a few days. We'll be able to do it!"
Li Qian really likes this kind of technical and practical school the most!
Hearing this, he patted Lu Ming's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's hard work!" and then asked: "By the way, how did you think about that large section of transformation?
As soon as he said this, Lu Ming was suddenly in high spirits, and immediately snapped his fingers and made a gesture to the technician in front of the computer. The technician quickly pulled up a video.
This is a simulated video.
The background of the video is that Jin Han filmed some mountain scenery in Zhangjiajie according to Li Qian's requirements, and returned to Suncheon after the crew closed the scene, and Li Qian gave priority to editing out this paragraph.
Basically, this is the scene that will appear in the first episode of the whole drama - Bai Suzhen has cultivated a human body!
At first, the scenery was very beautiful, but then what was cut into it was the scene of lightning and thunder that Lao Jin finally captured after guarding Zhangjiajie for seven or eight days - cut here. It means that the White Snake has reached a critical point and is about to survive the thunderstorm. became Bai Suzhen.
On the picture, there is a very simple line swimming among the mountain peaks, Lu Ming pointed to the line on the picture and said: "Right here, we are going to make her raise her head to the sky, and she will let out an angry roar when she dubbs." And then, it just swam, faster and faster, and then, right. Pause, she spit out the beads, let her snake beads be baptized by the thunder, and then swallow it back, it's OK! Oh, by the way, bring out the white snake that Zhu Mingyu designed for us......
As he spoke, the technician called up a design draft, which had not yet been colored, but had begun to appear.
The huge snake god, the dense scales, the open mouth of the blood basin -
Li Qian looked at it for a long time and said, "This is painted by Zhu Mingyu?"
Lu Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, oh, after we discussed it, she drew it according to the results of our discussion!"
Li Qian nodded and said, "It's basically good, but, you pay attention, remove the fierce and wild flavor of it a little more, and now this white snake ...... By the way, and the one you just said raised your head and roared to the sky, don't do that, the image of the white snake is gentle and kind, we don't want this kind of beastly side. ”
At this time, without waiting for Lu Ming to speak, someone beside Li Qian couldn't help but say: "But the white snake is a monster, and its cultivation should be to fight against the Heavenly Dao and survive the thunder tribulation, if she is so gentle when she is a snake, isn't it a bit unreasonable?"
Li Qian turned his head and glanced at the man in surprise when he heard this, then smiled, and said: "You are right, you can cultivate for thousands of years under such difficult conditions, not to mention animal nature, her fierceness is even unimaginable, in short, let alone cultivation, just after surviving for so many years, she must be extremely adaptable to the law of the jungle, but, this is not the story we want! In our story, Bai Suzhen is so kind!"
After a pause, he smiled and said: "Huaxia TV's "Journey to the West" is so classic, you look at that stone monkey, how much magic you can see? In fact, it is a demon king! So, if there is really such a fierce white lady, leave it to others to analyze it in the future, let's ask for one thing now, and the order is the same." It can't be that the front is very fierce, but the back is very kind and gentle, then it's a bit off-topic!"
Several staff members glanced at each other when they heard this, and then nodded one after another, and Lu Ming also snapped his fingers happily, "Okay, no problem, you are the director, you are the boss, what do you say, how do we work!"
Li Qian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, at this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and when Li Qian turned around, he happened to see Jin Han pushing the door in, with a bag on his shoulder.
As he entered the door, he smiled and said, "I know that as long as you are not on the eighth floor, you will definitely come here!"
Li Qian smiled when he heard this, and beckoned to him, "Lao Jin, come, come and see!
Jin Han walked over and nodded at Lu Ming.
The technician called up the special effects clip that would be cut into the White Lady vs. Maoshan Taoist just now, and then clicked play, Jin Han stood beside Li Qian, and after reading it for the first time, his brows were already wrinkled, but after watching it for the second time, his brows were loosened.
Li Qian smiled and asked, "How is it?"
Jin Han smiled and nodded, "Not bad!"
Li Qian smiled, "You're an expert in playing with videos, what's the matter, you really think it's good?"
Jin Han turned his head and glanced at Li Qian, laughed "hehe", and pointed to the screen, "On this piece of the picture that has been processed by special effects, there is an obvious loss of frames, and the pixels of the picture have dropped too much, but no problem, this is not a movie, a TV series, even if it is the Huaxia station with the highest technical level, the satellite signal is transmitted, and you can't see anything, besides, even if your signal frequency is high enough, the TV set at the people's home is not good!
Li Qian smiled again when he heard this, turned his head to look at Jin Han's bag, and he patted Lu Ming's shoulder again, "I won't delay things here, you guys hurry up, start work!" and then said to Jin Han: "Let's go, let's go upstairs!"
…………
The two came to the eighth floor, Li Qian's office.
Jin Han entered the door and sat down on the sofa, while Li Qian first went to look at his work schedule, and then sat down on the sofa.
After entering the third year, the curriculum of the Department of Photography was much more relaxed, with only 11 classes per week, and they were all concentrated from Monday to Thursday, completely vacating the three days from Friday to Sunday.
To a certain extent, although the school still does not support students to go out to pick up work before their senior year, it is not rigid enough to strictly guard against it, and now in this society, employment is king, just look at this timetable to know that from the school's point of view, there is still a certain amount of time for students to go out to pick up work.
But even so, Li Qian's daily time is still very insufficient.
Even now that the episode of "The Legend of the New White Lady" is being rehearsed, Li Qian has no time to listen to it, so he can only wait for a few days to come up with a clue before he can meet He Runqing and them.
Li Qian went over and sat down, and while watching the secretary Qi Jie had arranged for him to make tea and pour water, he asked: "Brother Yu called me yesterday afternoon, saying that "The Love of Green Onions" was cut out, let me go over to watch the film in the afternoon, and he called you too, right?"
Jin Han nodded and said, "Hit, let's go over together later." ”
As soon as he had said that, he fell silent again.
Normally, he is a man of many words, but today, it is a bit abnormal.
So, after the secretary finished pouring the tea, Li Qian smiled and took the initiative to speak again, "Where's the book?
Jin Han looked up at Li Qian, hesitated for a moment, reached out and pulled the bag on his shoulder, took out a bound script, pinched it in his hand, and paused for a long time before saying: "I know, that book, nine times out of ten, you still have to lose money! So, I pressed it down first, this is another book!"
After finishing speaking, with a "snap", he slapped the script on the coffee table, raised his head, and said: "This book, I don't dare to say that I earn too much, but I promise you that I can't lose it!"
"Yo?" Li Qian was surprised, and immediately smiled: "It's rare, you, Brother Jin, are you actually going to start making films that can make money?
He looked up in surprise and looked at Jin Han.
Jin Han looked at him, "You can read the script later, and even if you are not satisfied, I can change it again!" However, I have a precondition, we have to talk about it first. ”
Li Qian raised his eyebrows, withdrew his hand with a smile, thought about it, and nodded, "Okay, you say." ”
Jin Han looked at him, pursed his lips tightly, and then, after holding it for a long time, he finally spoke, "In this play, you will play the leading role!"
Li Qian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"I'm playing the leading role?"
Jin Han nodded without hesitation.
