Because the main roles of Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang are in China, the previous filming was basically the footage of Meng Xiaojun played by Deng Chao. Fortunately, the camera of the final scene returned to Cheng Dongqing's body, and Pan Yueming, who had been playing soy sauce, was finally able to express himself well.

In the original version of "Chinese Partner", many people said that they finally saw the acting skills of the leader. Compared with the previous characters who always have "an unknown smile on their lips", this time Cheng Holly is really good, but objectively, it is just good.

I don't want to turn around and praise Pan Yueming, this Pan Fat, his acting skills are not as familiar as a few years later, and compared with the super-level master, it is estimated that it is half a catty. However, the sect leader can play at a super level in this play, and Pan Pang can naturally do it.

This involves the question of how much a good drama, or in other words, a good director, helps the actors.

Mu Ming can see it most clearly on the scene, Chen Kexin rarely tells you directly how this role should be played, he is to help you constantly analyze what the setting of this character is, and then let you imagine what kind of emotions and how such a character will perform in such an environment.

It doesn't matter if you can't think of it, you can actually shoot it once, and if it doesn't work, you can do it again. Many times, when the camera is turned on and the actor projects his spirit in that scene, he naturally knows how he reacts.

is different from the previous shootings, whether it is the TV series "The Legend of Lu Zhen" or the movie "Thai Embarrassment", in fact, there are no too high requirements for the acting skills and performance of the actors, and there is no such thing as training the actors.

As for the previous "Killing", looking back now, Mu Ming can feel that Guan Yu also had similar teachings, but unfortunately he didn't have a deep understanding of the director at that time, and he stayed more at the technical level, so he was far from having these feelings now.

The director doesn't just shoot the material according to the script. This is the biggest gain Mu Ming has gained during this time.

The plot of the EES negotiations is over, and the scenes in the United States are all over. The crew packed up and got ready, and returned to China as soon as possible, after all, there are still some domestic scenes that have not been filmed. From the perspective of the whole movie, the domestic plot is the core of the whole drama.

However, Mu Ming did not return to China with the crew, and he had to stay in New York for a few more days. As for the reason, at this time, there is only another movie that can make him leave behind the filming of the movie.

ILM, a well-known special effects production company in Hollywood, was founded by Lucas in 1975 for the filming of "Star Wars". In the following nearly 40 years, he participated in the special effects production of more than 300 Hollywood blockbusters such as the "Star Wars" series, "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter".

It is precisely because of so many brilliant achievements that when I think of special effects production, the first thing that comes to mind is Industrial Light and Magic. There are two scenes of werewolf transformation in "Wolf Boy", which need to be completed by post-production special effects. It happened to be in New York again, so I contacted ILM.

Unfortunately, ILM turned down the collaboration. The reason is very euphemistic, but when translated into easy-to-understand language, it is - "There are only a dozen seconds of special effects shots in total, and even the labor cost of a rendering is not enough, you just need to find an advertising visual effects company to fool around." ”

Why do you look down on advertising agencies? Phew, why do you look down on 10-second special effects shots?

Well, people do have capital to look down on. Mu Ming left the Industrial Light & Magic building in a gloomy manner.

In fact, "Wolf Boy" is such a low-cost love movie, there is really no need to make the special effects very good, after all, the audience is not here for such a dozen seconds of special effects shots. In fact, the werewolf transformation footage of the original "Wolf Boy" is very rough, and no viewer complains about this.

However, it is also my first film, and my studio investment is not short of funds, so why not make it as perfect as possible.

Besides, think about it, the girl you like is bullied, and the boy who turns into a werewolf knocks the villain to the ground with one paw, and then picks up the girl and stands in the breeze, her slightly fluttering hair reflecting the setting sun, shining with a layer of gold.

Wow! It's very impressive to think about!

Hmph, industrial light and magic without vision, you don't have the opportunity to witness such a great moment.

Mu Ming sighed and crossed the name of ILM off the list in her heart. It's okay, there are so many special effects companies, if one doesn't work, change another one.

In fact, there are many good special effects companies in China. For example, Tiangong Pictures and Colorful Film and Television that have not yet been merged into Tiangong Brilliant Films, such as Base Fx, which cooperates with Industrial Light and Magic, and some relatively small but good quality viewpoint special arts, Sky One Painting, etc.

It's just that, firstly, Mu Ming was really frightened by the domestic special effects seen by later generations;second, domestic film and television special effects are more focused on the performance of big scenes such as blasting, wind and fire, and collapse, and lack of parameter data such as hair, biological skin, and other detailed special effects.

The most realistic code data that has been produced after thousands of debugging experiments is the most valuable thing for the big special effects companies. After all, it is also a scene of performance, and those who have data can be directly substituted into the template, and those who do not have data can only be debugged slowly, and the cost gap is too big.

"Boss, where are you going next?" Hua Yan asked Mu Ming.

Mu Ming thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Huayan." ”

"In. ”

"How about taking you across the United States?"

"Huh?"

On the west coast of California, there is a city called Venice, which is the same name as the Venice of Europe. In other words, according to the naming principle of the original Europeans, shouldn't this be called New Venice or Newnis or something?

Hua Yan finally understood what Mu Ming meant by "across the United States", California and New York, one West Coast and the other East Coast, happened to be separated from each other.

Mu Ming naturally didn't come here for the "sunshine of California" or anything, but here, there is a special effects company comparable to industrial light and magic, D2, also known as the digital field.

The founder of ILM is Lucas, and the leader of the digital space is Cameron.

It's a pity that after filming "Titanic", the truck driver devoted himself to promoting 3D technology, while indulging in the shooting of biopics and quitting the company. Then, the digital realm was sold to Michael Bay, who "exploded even art", and Paramount paid for it.

Therefore, the digital realm of this meeting should still belong to Paramount.

It's just that when Mu Ming and Hua Yan came to the building in the digital realm, they saw a scene of people going to the empty building.

What's going on? Moved?

There was a piece of paper similar to a flyer pasted at the door, Mu Ming glanced at it, and a bunch of English almost scared him.

"Huayan, go on!" Mu Ming shouted, leaving her not to return to China, just so that she could be on top at this time.

"Hmm-" The little assistant looked at the flyer, and after a while, he said to Mu Ming with a strange expression: "Boss, this company is bankrupt." ”

Before Mu Ming could react, an accented English sentence came from behind him: "Hey, what are you doing?"
