Chapter 858: Technical Requirements
Before Guo Dalu entered the entertainment industry, when Huaxia films needed special effects production, they would generally find foreign special effects production companies to do it, which were generally expensive, and some movies that consumed special effects were very expensive, and the investment in special effects alone may account for more than half of the total investment.
This high cost of special effects production also gives some people profit margins to exploit loopholes.
Many directors in the system will deliberately exaggerate the investment in special effects when filming some movies and television related to special effects, and join forces with foreign companies to cheat money and share the spoils.
Just like some time ago, a director decided to remake "Journey to the West", which is said to be a big production, and more than one million dollars were spent on the monkey head face of the character of Monkey King alone.
In Guo Dalu's view, this monkey head is not more than one million, 10,000 yuan is too much, and if you open an invoice of one million, a piece of can also be said to be one million, because where the invoice is placed, it proves that what people are telling is the truth. For this kind of thing, then you can only listen, anyway, the country has money, and you don't need to worry about Guo Dalu.
But no matter how rich Tianxi Film and Television is, it can't compare with the country, and in the future, the company will make movies and television, and this special effects production is indispensable no matter what, and many of Guo Dalu's movies are also closely related to special effects, so Guo Dalu simply set up a special effects production company by himself, mainly for the internal services of Tianxi Film and Television, of course, you can also take orders from other film and television companies.
When setting up this special effects company, Guo Dalu hired a lot of employees at home and abroad, and then personally explained his production concept to them, and even personally made some special effects that he wanted to express.
However, Guo Dalu found that this team has now had a big problem, that is, the lack of innovation, the brain hole is not big enough, in fact, the hardware is in place, and the soft power is also in place, that is, the design concept can not break the inherent thinking, and it is difficult to innovate in technology, which is extremely fatal to the stunt team.
Just like Guo Dalu now asked them to make a picture of a liquid robot, these guys are a little dazed and don't know how to start, which makes Guo Dalu angry.
This guy who is engaged in stunts, Guo Dalu pushed them step by step, and the technical level was still at the level of the previous year, and there was no progress at all, which made Guo Dalu extremely disappointed.
"Ten days for you, within ten days, if you can't think of a solution, everyone will deduct all the bonuses for this month!"
Guo Dalu shouted in front of many people in the special effects team: "I want you not to be used for decoration, I put forward a request, you have to try to do it for me, if you can't do the special effects I want, simply merge with the 3D imaging company, these technologies, if I find a naked-eye 3D imaging technician, people will help me make it within a day, do you believe it or not?"
At this time, Huaxia's naked-eye 3D technology has reached the point of being fake, and the application in the military field and the civilian field is becoming more and more popular, but there are still some deficiencies in the subtle aspects.
This is also the reason why Guo Dalu is reluctant to let a 3D projection company do special effects, after all, this technology still needs to be adjusted in details. However, in a few years, I believe that 3D projection technology will definitely replace the special effects team, which is a general trend and inevitable.
This trend,Guo Dalu understands,People in special effects companies also understand,What they are most worried about is the arrival of this day,If they are merged by the projection company,Their sense of existence and the nature of their work will be greatly adjusted,This is simply a disaster for them,And they can't avoid it,Because this is the general trend of the industry,Unless they leave these professions,Otherwise,There is only the fate of being merged。
Now after hearing Guo Dalu's ultimatum, the technicians of the special effects company are all worried and extremely flustered.
After Guo Dalu left, the face of the general manager was extremely ugly, and he said to the company: "Brothers and sisters, whether our company can maintain its independence depends on everyone's efforts.
Sometimes being strict with subordinates is really effective, just after Guo Dalu gave the special effects production team an ultimatum, these guys really thought of a solution, and on the last day of Guo Dalu's inspection of the results, the team finally made a group of liquid renderings that Guo Dalu wanted.
Although it was only a short second or two of footage, it showed that they had indeed found the right way.
"The little tree doesn't cut and doesn't straighten!"
After seeing the pictures made by these people, Guo Dalu sighed for a while: "Sure enough, the spur is still insufficient, I must give you additional tasks in the future, use your brains well, and think about a breakthrough in technology!"
The special effects production staff were relieved, if Guo Dalu was not satisfied, they might really be disbanded.
After the special effects are achieved, the shooting can really take place.
The special effects of this movie were filmed at the beginning when Guo Dalu filmed the first part, but the way of appearance had to be done again, Guo Changgeng was even more so, but he was naked in front of the camera, and Guo Changgeng was very hurt.
And Ma Rui's mother played by Song Qian, that is, the heroine in the first part, was deliberately retouched by a makeup artist to be a middle-aged woman when filming this movie, but she is still strong and haggard but not without losing her style. Compared with the first movie, this second film needs more acting skills to support, after all, the storyline in the psychiatric hospital is not something that can be passed by acting casually, and that sense of conflict must be in place. Fortunately, Song Qian's acting skills have already soared several levels, and she has even won the title of international actress, and this bit of dramatic tension and conflict is not a problem for him.
The rest is the matter of the little actor Shao Wenfeng.
In order to let the little actor Shao Wenfeng adapt to the filming of the crew, Guo Dalu deliberately asked the filming progress to be as slow as possible, although Shao Wenfeng is smart, but after all, he has not learned acting, and when filming, he must slowly adapt to the rhythm of this kind of shooting and the changes in dialogue and expression.
Of course, the main thing is to overcome the tension of performing live, and a person who has never studied acting can cry, shout, and struggle desperately in front of so many onlookers, which in itself is a psychological challenge for people.
For newcomers like Shao Wenfeng, who are inexperienced in filming for the first time, many people's eyes can't help but peek in the direction of the camera, just to overcome this problem, Shao Wenfeng took a week, and then slowly got used to it.
When filming the fight, Guo Dalu has a requirement for Guo Changgeng, who plays the villain robot, that he must be steady and ruthless when fighting! Don't use any fancy martial arts moves, volleying, piercing hearts, and so on.
And Guo Dalu is even more so when he is fighting, he walks steadily, his shots are ruthless and heavy, every action and look reveals a cold taste, and there is no expression at all in the audience.
But his expression is just cold, not fierce, the liquid robot played by Guo Changgeng has to reveal a great taste of murderous intent and cruelty in his eyes, just by his eyes, the audience can distinguish who is good and who is bad.
Guo Changgeng, as a martial artist, has a unique murderous aura of a martial arts master, and after the murderous appearance at the scene at this time, the camera crew felt cold in their necks, and Shao Wenfeng, who played Ma Rui, was frightened, and he didn't dare to talk to Guo Changgeng during the break on the set, and his eyes looking at Guo Changgeng were dodgy.
Guo Changgeng looked helpless and complained to Guo Dalu: "Look, you have to make me so vicious, now it's okay, it's all scared of the children!"
Guo Dalu laughed: "This is enough flavor! After this drama is filmed, your reputation as a villain supporting role will definitely become louder and louder." ”
Ps: The famous villain martial arts actor Ji Chunhua passed away, I feel very sorry, I watched a lot of movies about him when I was a child, and I was extremely impressed by the role he played, but I didn't know his name, I got older, and I only knew his name with the popularization of entertainment information and the spread of self-media. Siren has gone, may he go all the way.
