Chapter 938: The level of domestic special effects
This group of people who are brilliant in heaven are all technical nerds at first glance.
Tech nerds are generally not very good at and attentive to other things except technology.
The current treatment of Lin Mu and assistants also perfectly illustrates this problem.
How could any of their own customers leave it, just a little girl at the front desk watched, and the others ran away collectively.
However, Lin Mu came here today mainly to find out the current level of domestic special effects and the approximate price, and only after understanding the market can he decide whether to let Ning Hao shoot this drama.
After all, although this kind of niche film does not have much market, it can't stand up to be able to win awards, and it can also sell copyrights, and maybe the current impetuous market may also contribute to a certain box office.
Regarding this type of film, Lin Mu seems to have seen only one live-action version of a similar movie, "The Shape of Water", which won the Oscar for Best Picture, was blown into the sky by a group of people, and the box office also grossed hundreds of millions of dollars in North America, but because the scale of the film is too large, there are ...... beyond race Well, how can I say it, it can't be said to be love, it's a picture of reproduction, so it hasn't been introduced in China, so not many people know about it.
To some extent, "The Shape of Water" is similar to "The Shape of Water", but the turtle has to beautify the treatment between the two, that is, the race, while the shape of the water is more terrifying.
After all, in the loggerhead turtle, the turtle becomes a woman, and the monster in The Shape of Water is a male.
But it's too early to think about this, but also to see if the heavenly work can be done, if so, how much it will cost, this is the most important, as a businessman, the first consideration is the proportion of investment and return, and then consider others.
……
Lin Mu was a little bored after waiting for a while, couldn't help yawning, picked up the magazine on the table and read it casually.
This is mostly some examples and thumbnails of some previous works of heavenly brilliance, etc.,After a rough look,Lin Mu found that this company actually did part-time game CG and modeling in addition to film and television special effects.,It's really a wide range of business.。
But it also shows their lack of business in a way, after all, if you think about it, would Hollywood's Industrial Light & Magic do this kind of thing?
Just looking for industrial light and magic to do movie special effects people have to queue up, and there are so many businesses every year that they can't be busy, where is it like Tiangong Brilliant now, they actually have to do game CG to make a living.
However, Lin Mu had a little more thought in his heart when he thought of this, maybe ...... Try to take a stake in Genius, of course, if they want to.
After all, Lin Mu has his own film and television company, if he really invests in Tiangong, his company's business that needs to use special effects and stunt shots must be for Tiangong, and those directors or companies who have a good relationship with Lin Mu, if they think Tiangong's skills are really good, they will naturally choose them.
Thinking of this, Lin Mu put down the magazine in his hand, looked at the little girl at the front desk, and nodded to her with a smile.
"Hello!" Lin Mu said to the little girl with a smile.
The little girl at the front desk raised her eyebrows slightly, "Ahhhh
"You ...... Hmm, aren't you usually busy?" Lin Mu asked strangely, "I see that the top management of your company has gathered here as soon as I come!"
Xiaomei hurriedly shook her head, "Not busy, not busy, not busy at all!"
"I joined the company when it opened at the beginning of the year, and so far the company doesn't seem to have received an order for movie special effects!"
Lin Mu suddenly felt that the cold sweat on his head was about to come down, this old girl was honestly a little too much, and at the same time, the situation of the domestic special effects industry was too difficult!
It seems that there may really be hope for him to become a shareholder of Tiangong!
Lin Mu was pondering, and the people from Tiangong had finally returned.
"Mr. Lin, please follow me! We've roughly simulated the tsunami footage that you need to use in your script. ”
Hearing Zhu Fei's words, Lin Mu's eyes widened slightly, so fast, the tsunami shot is so easy to solve, then there must not be a lot of money!
He hurriedly got up and followed Zhu Fei to a room that looked like it was supposed to be their studio, the light in the room was a little dim, and a projector was connected to a computer and the picture hit the screen on the wall.
When they saw that Lin Mu had arrived, they immediately clicked play, and Lin Mu noticed that the tsunami was not facing the beach, but the city.
At the moment when the play began, the wall of water composed of light blue sweat was already surging towards the city, destroying and decaying, and the high-rise buildings in one second were in ruins in the next second.
The tsunami lasted for about ten seconds and then began to slowly subside, leaving only one piece of wreckage.
Lin Mu looked at this group of people in a slightly shocked way, this speed and technique are very good, and it looks like the effect is quite good.
There were only a few dozen seconds of footage in total, and it was over quickly.
Zhu Fei stepped forward and said to Lin Mu, "Mr. Lin, the main thing is that we are in a hurry, we are just showing you a rough picture of our ability to make a delicate tsunami!"
"Because we didn't have a micromodel of the beach or something like that, we had to use the city instead. ”
Lin Mu nodded slightly, "I understand!"
"Didn't you just say the micromodel? Isn't this made by CG?"
When Zhu Fei heard Lin Mu say this, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Look at Mr. Lin, you are a layman, aren't you!"
"Most of the special effects similar to real space need to be completed with micromodels and motion capture, and CG will be too distorted, and many directors are not allowed to appear such pictures in their films. ”
Lin Mu bowed slightly, "Well, I really don't understand, but I'm very satisfied with the picture." ”
"Why don't we talk about the quote first?"
Zhu Fei looked back at the back when he heard this, and the man named Chen Wei and Lao A walked over.
"How is it?, do you have an approximate budget estimate?" asked Zhu Fei.
Chen Wei reached out and helped his glasses, "Twelve million!"
Lao A followed, "12 million is not just the tsunami shots, but also includes the post-production picture composition, as well as the green screen shooting and the construction of the scene scene, that is to say, we are not responsible for shooting and acting, but we are all responsible for everything that involves special effects shots." ”
Lin Mu was stunned again, this was different from what he was thinking!
He really hasn't lifted the special effects of movies and green screen shooting or anything like that, what he has always lifted is on-site shooting, a decent shooting style.
"Oh, we put together the entire film with the close-up island in order to be able to fit perfectly 1:1, otherwise it would have been too difficult to fit the background. Old A added.
Lin Mu thought about it, 12 million is not expensive, "The price is okay!"
"But I'm not in charge of the company's business, I will arrange for the company's Mr. Huo and Ning Hao, the director of this play, to come over and talk to you about cooperation in detail. ”
This group of technical nerds were slightly disappointed when they heard that Lin Mu did not agree, but they were not discouraged and nodded one after another.
Lin Mu bowed slightly, found an excuse, said goodbye and left, planning to return to the company.
He wants to give Yanzi another task, and try his best to coerce and lure him to join Tiangong, this group of technical nerves is simply empty and unknowing, it is simply a tyrannical thing!
