Director Ding quoted this, and Ye Qing remembered.

When Disney and several foreign companies came to Zhongyun to order alloy artworks, Ye Qing did show them the unparalleled modeling skills of Behemoth Heavy Industries.

But it's a masterpiece of a 3D camera, and there's a physical object to shoot.

Starship ......

Ye Qing wanted to cover his face, where to find this thing, can't he take a picture of the starry sky with a camera, right?

"Director Ding, I have a question for me. Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, but still said the question in his heart: "Why do you have to use computer technology to create special effects?"

"For example, that kind of starship can make a 1:1 or 1:0.5 entity for filming. ”

"Not only is it realistic, it's surpassing all the special effects, it's also a huge time saver. ”

Hearing Ye Qing's question, director Ding Yin was silent for a few seconds, and then said helplessly: "We also think that the benefits of shooting with a real spaceship are simply endless." But the achievements in film models in China are even inferior to special effects. ”

"In terms of special effects, at least there are foreign technologies as references. If you are an entity, you really don't dare to compliment domestic technology. Especially this kind of hard sci-fi interstellar spaceship, as a domestic entity, must be made into the feeling of a World War II warship, or a domestic warship. ”

"How much are you going to spend on the special effects on the starship?"

Now that the monster factory has rushed to the fourth stage, there is no urgent task for the time being. Ye Qing felt that if the price was right, it was not impossible to take over this movie special effects job.

"CG special effects are bottomless, both foreign and domestic, CG special effects are charged per second, and we expect to spend 30 million on the spaceship special effects of the entire movie. ”

"Thirty million?" Even Ye Qing, who was used to seeing a lot of money, was a little surprised.

It took 30 million to make the kind of starship CG that only stores the Zàiu disk.

"And that's just the special effects for the ship. Director Ding Yin smiled bitterly: "It is said that special effects burn money, let me tell you a joke." When Director Chen was filming Tianji back then, everyone asked him where the money for special effects went. ”

As a result, the people from the special effects company said that Director Chen estimated that he had a phobia of choice. After a while, let them ask to change the green, blue, purple, yellow, white, black, and then say forget it, this effect is gone...... Later, he said no, and changed it to the first version of red. ”

"And then the money burned out......"

"I see!" Ye Qing smiled happily.

Director Ding Yin firmly believes that Ye Qing's side has unparalleled modeling technology, so he promised that if Ye Qing agreed to help them, he would add 20% to the original price.

At the same time~ After learning about the modeling technology of the giant beast company, he felt that the modeling of industrial products like starships was, of course, the specialty of the giant beast heavy industry.

Instead of looking for trees that can be magnified many times, as long as the details are in place, the swing of the bottom recoil engine and the attitude rolling of the spacecraft during the descent are all in accordance with the principles of mechanics.

The more director Ding Yin thought about it, the more he felt that Monster Heavy Industry was the best choice.

Take a look at the domestic special effects company that I have cooperated with before, it's okay to be a fairy man.

As soon as I did this kind of hard science fiction, I immediately revealed that my foundation was not solid, and when the spaceship made a forced landing, it was like a paper airplane blown by the wind.

"Mr. Ye, why don't I send you the number of the previous models and the early special effects?"

"Okay~ Then you send it to my mailbox first, and I will refer to it. ”

……………………

In the crew at the old site of Chengzi Lake, after director Ding Yin hung up the phone, he hurriedly asked his assistant to send the preliminary effect video and the model of the starship to Ye Qing's mailbox after the [Tianyun Film and Television Technology Company] spent a lot of effort and time.

To tell the truth, since the earliest 86 version of Journey to the West, which used a large number of special effects technology, the level of special effects in China has made great progress.

The special effects of Journey to the West back then were completely completed by the kind of cumbersome linear editing machine. cut out the picture of Sun Wukong's flight and then synthesized it into the sky.

At present, the large-scale special effects in China have been completed by CG technology, the actors act in the air, and then the special effects company uses digital technology to build models, render them, and map them to achieve the effect of fake and real.

The gap between domestic and foreign countries is lost in the accumulation of technology, and this is not a gap that can be caught up with money.

To make a bang in the same way, domestic companies may only have a few effects to choose from, while foreign companies can choose hundreds of effects from a rich library of digital jù.

This is also a special effect in China, and many scenes are familiar to the audience, isn't this a scene from a Hollywood movie or a foreign game?

Because I was reluctant to invest a lot of money to start from scratch, I had to buy those mature models and stickers from abroad and come back, and change them myself to fool people.

Director Ding Yin doesn't want to be like this, he wants to innovate, wants to integrate his own elements into China, and wants to shoot a domestic science fiction movie with an authentic taste.

So long before the official filming of the movie, he spent a lot of money to go to Tianyun Special Effects Company to tailor a unique spaceship model.

However, after the effect came out, he dreamed of a ruthless effect video in front of it, like a beautiful soap bubble, which burst with a "pop".

Fortunately, another investor in this film - Xu Ninggong.

She watched the signing ceremony held in the Sheraton, and Ye Qing displayed the model of the alloy tree, and even the entertainment giant Disney was surprised.

So she told director Ding Yin that she could hand over this kind of industrial-style interstellar spaceship to Behemoth Heavy Industries.

If the model is built well, the rendering technology will definitely not be bad.

At this time, director Ding Yin heard that Ye Qing had promised to look at the model, and he was immediately full of joy, feeling that the most important interstellar spaceship design had finally been settled.

However, Ye Qing and director Ding Yin's ideas are very different.

Film and heavy industry are completely two industries, and the ideas between the leaders of these two industries will naturally not be the same.

Director Ding Yin always believes that only by working modeling and making every detail of the spacecraft seriously can he achieve the effect he wants.

However, Ye Qing always believes that no matter how good the modeling is, it is still a virtual model, something that does not exist.

Therefore, after Ye Qing got the three-dimensional model and the number jù, he looked at it carefully and studied the possibility of creating a 1:1 entity otherwise.

If it can't be made, Ye Qing will refuse director Ding Yin, and if it can be made, Ye Qing will make it.

This is a small interstellar spaceship, 60 meters long and 5 meters high, probably taking into account the reason for flying in the atmosphere, the spacecraft as a whole is quite streamlined, the bow is flat and somewhat like a blue whale, the stern is flying shear, and the hexagonal diamond-shaped twin engine structure.

It's not just the shell blueprints, because after the ship's crash landing, the heroine treats the spaceship as a temporary home, and there will be a lot of footage inside the spaceship.

Therefore, even the space inside was made, and the structure of the warp engine room, the cab, the rest room, and the energy room was marked.

The structure and shell design are good, very sci-fi and beautiful. It's just a color rendering, and the texture is poorly done.

After watching the three-dimensional model, Ye Qing opened the video again to see the preliminary special effects.

After watching the CG picture of "........." for dozens of seconds, Ye Qing was a little sympathetic to director Ding Yin.

The spacecraft was fine when it flew in outer space, but as soon as it entered the Earth, it exposed a more obvious distortion and stiffness in contrast to the rich colors around it.

And this is a second-hand spaceship, which necessarily highlights its staleness. But its textures don't reflect this at all, and the worn-out parts above don't have a mechanical natural stale at all, but have a fight with moldy cakes.

In all fairness, this kind of CG picture is already qualified for other directors. Dan Ding Yin can't do it, he is the best director of special effects shooting in China, and using this kind of picture is a self-smashing signboard.

Ye Qing sat on a mechanical engineering chair, holding his chin, carefully studying the possibility of building a three-dimensional model
