Chapter 38: Convincing
The assembly of the spaceship is more complicated, after all, the shooting requirement is to have a one-to-one model, and Du Mingxuan has simplified it as much as possible, but these parts add up to thousands of pieces!
It took nearly four hours to get dinner ready for the crew.
"Oh my God, this spaceship is so beautiful!" said one of the field attendants, "It looks so high!"
"I've heard that this model alone is worth millions! It's more expensive than a sports car!"
"It's so fucking handsome! I've been with several crews, and this is the most conscientious prop I've ever seen!" The venue staff were full of praise, if they weren't allowed to take pictures now, they wouldn't have been able to take all kinds of group photos.
Yang Bufan, Gu Yuan, and Miao Yu also received a notice to go to see the assembled spaceship together.
As soon as they arrived at the scene, several people were stunned. What caught their eyes was a spaceship the size of a house!
In terms of appearance, it is a silver-white fluid-shaped spaceship, with elegant curved surfaces and arcs that make people feel a shock from the aesthetics of science and technology!
"I'm X!" Gu Yuan couldn't help but shout, "This is too real!"
"Let's take a walk, go in and have a look!" said visual effects supervisor Miao Yu Daxi excitedly.
Guo Bufan, Feng Ming and others also followed, eager to watch the inside of the spaceship. As soon as you enter the inside, the first thing is the safety protection cabin. There are all kinds of radiography scans to kill germs and prevent air leakage - of course, this is just the light effect of the model, and there is no practical use, and you have to rely on computer special effects to render it later.
In the protective cabin, there is also a specially designed spacesuit, which is much cheaper than the mechanical exoskeleton model, and one can be made for almost twenty or thirty thousand.
"On the left is the arsenal, above the elevator is the main control room, as well as the energy pod, the storage room, the aliens' dormant chamber, etc. Du Mingxuan introduced them, and several people were dizzying, and their expressions of surprise and curiosity were visible at a glance.
"It's so feeling!" Gu Yuan gestured with his hands, "Really, as soon as I came in, it felt as if I had really entered space." I don't know how to describe this design, this decoration......"
"Immersive!, right!" Yang Bufan took his words.
"Yes, that's how it feels!" Gu Yuan nodded.
"Also, this is an alien skin, which is a 3D model made by a computer and then synthesized directly with a 3D printer. The actor can put it on directly. Du Mingxuan pointed to the alien prop skin hanging on the wall and said.
Miao Yu picked up the skin, carefully observed the appearance, and said with a smile: "Okay, this skin is too delicate." In this way, we can save a lot of money on special effects, and the visuals will be better than computer effects!"
"Arsenal, I'm going to the arsenal!" Gu Yuan became more and more excited the more he watched, as a weapon fan, he had a soft spot for weapon props.
In the arsenal, in addition to the conventional laser gun, there are also models such as plasma flame cannons and tracking robots, which are all printed by 3D printers.
"It's out, it's out!" Miao Yu couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "This visual effect must be off the charts!"
"Yes, think about it, how much does it feel to act in this kind of scene?" Gu Yuan was also very happy, "Compared to acting on a green screen, the feeling is a hundred times stronger!"
Yang Bufan slapped his thigh and shouted: "Shoot, prepare tomorrow, start shooting the day after tomorrow, these special effects pictures, Lao Tzu wants to shoot at the world-class level!"
After visiting the spaceship, the crew no longer had any doubts about the level of Z space-time mold production company, but was full of gratitude.
"How about it, Brother Yuan, have I won now?" Yang Bufan said to Gu Yuan proudly, the previous bet between the two of them was that if Gu Yuan lost, Gu Yuan would help invest in this drama.
"Win, convinced!" Gu Yuan waved his hand and said arrogantly: "I voted for this play, how much money you lack, I will vote for it!"
"Brother Yuan's atmosphere!" Yang Bufan smiled, "With your words, my heart will be steady!"
"Boss Du, your props are really beyond my expectations. If this drama is successful, it will definitely be indispensable to you!" Yang Bufan pulled Du Mingxuan and said.
"Haha, that's serious. Du Mingxuan smiled, "By the way, Director Yang, the remaining props are estimated to be completed within half a month, and the final payment ......" He reminded Yang Bufan.
"As soon as the rest of the props are accepted, the money will be paid immediately!" Yang Bufan said decisively, "You can rest assured." ”
All this money belongs to the investor, Yang Bufan doesn't feel very distressed when he spends it, and besides, more than 30 million yuan can buy such props, which is a lot of money!
If the film becomes a hit, the money can even be made back! Because these props will become film art collectibles and can sell for a lot of money at auction. A good example is Marvel movie props, with annual sales of hundreds of millions of dollars!
"Thank you so much. "Du Mingxuan is just short of money.
"Boss Du, are you going back these days?" At this time, Gu Yuan took the initiative to ask.
"Don't worry, I'll keep it for a few more days, if anything goes wrong with these props, I can help deal with it." Du Mingxuan said.
"That would be great. Gu Yuan walked up to him and said, "I just wanted to talk to you, I have two dramas to shoot this year and next year, and the props company has not yet been decided." I look at the exoskeleton armor today, the spaceship!
"Don't say anything else, I want to order the props for these two plays!
"Haha, of course I am the more the merrier! You are older than me, I will call you Brother Yuan, and I will trouble you to take care of your business in the future!"
"Absolutely help!" Gu Yuan looked serious, "Your company's production level is comparable to the level of Hollywood's top film industry, as long as your price is right, I will look for you for filming props." In the film and television industry, I will also help you promote!"
Yang Bufan added on the side: "Boss Du, Brother Yuan is a well-known honest person in the circle, and what he says will definitely be done." You wait for the business to come to you!"
On the same day, Du Mingxuan had dinner with Gu Yuan, Yang Bufan, Miao Yu and others, and drank a little wine. These people have good personalities, Gu Yuan is sincere, Yang Bufan is serious, Miao Yu loves visual effects, Du Mingxuan quickly got acquainted with them and exchanged contact information with each other.
"Brother, you wait, I dare to say, this drama is absolutely explosive!" Gu Yuan came up with wine, stepped on the stool, and shouted.
"I also think, Brother Yuan, if there is anything I need help with, I, Du Mingxuan, will definitely help!" Du Mingxuan is also a young man, and he likes to brag after drinking.
"Haha, I just like righteous brothers. Come on, drink one!" Gu Yuan did with him.
After some drinking, Du Mingxuan had a very happy conversation with several people, and Yang Bufan also agreed with Du Mingxuan that he would also cooperate with his company in the next play.
