Chapter 457: The Beginning of the Story Begins ......
Haiwei, a small city on the tip of the island on the Dongshan Peninsula, is also the easternmost point of the coastal continental shelf. There are no famous attractions, and there are no famous characters, the only thing worth mentioning is the most tragic Sino-Japanese naval battle of the Beiyang Navy that year.
At the end of October, the weather was already late autumn. The daytime temperature is acceptable, but as soon as the sun sets, the bitter autumn wind can instantly blow away the remaining temperature.
However, this change in temperature is nothing for young people. It's the first time of day, and the shops in the streets and alleys are full of people.
Mu Ming lifted his hat, he didn't wrap himself tightly like ordinary celebrities, just like his usual dress. In fact, this is enough, after all, he is just a director, not a star who is exposed every day at the front desk. I know him a lot, but I know him a little.
And then again, that kind of cover-up method of wrapping oneself like a zongzi, really treating passers-by as NPCs in the game? Or does it matter if passers-by know that he/she is a star or not, as long as they don't know which one it is?
walked around, and a KTV with flashing lights appeared in front of me. Mu Ming looked up at the signboard, as if she wanted to find something from her memory. But unfortunately, time is merciless, and seven years is enough to erase a lot of memories.
"It's been seven years......"
Mu Ming sighed and sat down on a remote step that did not delay pedestrians. It was here seven years ago that the Lord of Time played a joke on him and gave him a fork in the road, and since then he has embarked on a completely different life.
Sitting in the dark for a while, Mu Ming looked left and right with some confusion. As early as ten days ago, there was a voice in his heart that was telling him that he was going to come here to take a look on this day. It seems to be the end of some kind of ritual.
However, he had been sitting here for a while, and he didn't seem to feel any sense of ritual or anything like that.
Is there something missing?
Mu Ming began to search for the memories of that night seven years ago in the mystery of memory, which is really not easy to find, after all, there are more than four hundred chapters, ah no, after all, more than seven years.
In particular, the brain is an organ that automatically blocks out those bad memories for the purpose of self-protection, and leaves more good memories. Obviously, death is unlikely to be placed in the "good feelings" column in the normal human race.
However, I finally found it:
"I still have the impression that yesterday was supposed to be the twenty-fifth anniversary of my birth in this world. Although Mu Ming doesn't like to celebrate birthdays very much after the age of twenty, she can still use this as a name to go out for a night.
Four or five friends got together, and after playing cards, eating, and KTV, they were ready to pack up and go home to sleep. As a result, as soon as I walked out of the door of KTV, I saw a small pot friend standing in the middle of the road, overwhelmed by traffic.
It is inevitable to drink some wine at the party, Mu Ming's alcohol consumption is not too good, and the two bottles of beer are already a little fluttery. At that time, I was enthusiastic and rushed into the traffic, ready to take the little pot friend out ......" (excerpt from the first chapter of "2010 Again")
Yes, I "died young" to save a little kid at the time, and then I was reborn.
What does that little kid look like?
Nima, these little ghosts, standing there, he may not be able to remember who is who, so that the ghosts can know what they look like!
Mu Ming walked around the door of the KTV for a while, seeing that there was no one on the street, and she didn't see any bear children who dared to drill into the driveway.
Maybe the child didn't come out tonight, maybe the child had an accident a long time ago, or maybe - Mu Ming vaguely remembered that the child didn't look like he was six or seven years old - because of all kinds of mistakes, the child was not born at all?
Hey, it's scary!
But no matter what, Mu Ming's heart did feel happy, and she felt as if she had repaid a debt that she had been carrying for a long time at once.
"Buzz ......"
The mobile phone vibrated and rang, Mu Ming picked up the phone, it was Mu's mother calling.
"Tell me what you're doing when you come back all year round and go out for half a day. You'll come back early, don't you have to leave tomorrow, I'll pack some things for you. By the way, do you want the salted duck eggs that your grandma pickled two days ago......?
The voice on the mobile phone gradually drifted into the wind with Mu Ming's pace of going home, and the street was as safe as ever, no one knew that there should have been a car accident here, and a young man who died in a car accident.
But it doesn't matter, it's just a few days less to talk about.
Thinking of this, Mu Ming raised her arms behind her back and shook them a few times - it was some kind of goodbye.
From today onwards, every remaining day will be a new life.
·····················
After her birthday, Mu Ming, who was "reborn", did not have any insight and rebirth, and her mood swings were roughly equivalent to saying goodbye to an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.
Moreover, the reality of the situation has little time for him to sigh. As soon as the main filming of "God of Medicine" ended, he immediately had to fly to New Zealand - for the special effects of "The Wandering Earth".
Generally speaking, most of the special effects we usually refer to the visual effects part of post-production, that is, the light, shadow, sound and color displayed on the screen. In the film industry, especially in heavy industry films like "The Wandering Earth", there are many equally important special effects: physical effects of wind, snow, explosion, and falling rocks, action design related to WIA, models of UI interfaces, and props of various styles......
I have to admit that the gap between China and Hollywood in this regard is no longer something that can be described by a star. For example, when Hollywood shoots characters and manipulates various screens, it has a special UI special effects group. But there has never been a similar plot in China, and the crew has never heard of this thing when filming, what should I do?
Dirt method. In order to be able to display the reflected pictures on the character's helmet glass, the crew specially bought dozens of second-hand computers, made the interface of various needs into PPT, and then a special person was responsible for switching one by one.
Just like China Film wanted to invite a Hollywood director to direct at the beginning, Mu Ming also wanted to find a big-name special effects company in Hollywood at the beginning.
For example, the famous Industrial Light & Magic.
As a result, when people asked about the budget here, they shook their heads directly and said that they couldn't do it. According to the market price, a 10-second special effects shot is about $160,000. Even if the movie only uses special effects for half of the time, it will cost 50 million.
So far in this movie, China Film, Shuimu Film and Television, and Jingxi Culture have each taken 100 million, Mu Ming has taken another 50 million, plus Guo Fan and some other small investments, a total of about 400 million.
Taking all the investment to get a semi-finished product, and not even having special effects, is obviously nonsense. Therefore, after discussing with the main creators of Mu Ming and Guo Fan, they still chose several domestic special effects companies, such as China Film's special effects group, Shuimu's digital field, More, Orange Vision, etc.
However, there are some things that can be made on their own, and some things that they can't, such as the mechanical metal exoskeleton of a combat member. So after some consideration, they turned to another Hollywood special effects giant, Weta Digital.
Weta Digital's headquarters is in New Zealand. ()
