Shaking his hand to say goodbye to the handsome guy who sold a group photo, he shook his head and refused to come up to sell Spider-Man dolls mobile phone chains, Tang Jiayi held her hat in one hand and sunglasses in the other, and looked up at the famous spire building in front of her-新.xin-iqi-

After a long time, she turned her head and said, "It's so ugly!"

Although as a student of Heron University, she has long been accustomed to boxy modern reinforced concrete buildings with a hat with red eaves on her head, but the tall spire of the Hollywood National Theater in front of her still thundered her. Except for the pair of stone lions at the door, which looked very familiar and friendly, other architectural styles and decorative details made her feel very awkward, including the huge dragon-shaped relief at the gate.

"Normal and normal, this is too normal, any transformation to other people's territory has to be localized, just like Guanyin was still a male and female ED maker in India, but when he arrived in China, he became a kind and kind gift to his children. Since the meal has to adapt to the taste of foreigners and local ingredients in the United States, and make American meals such as Zuo Zongtang chicken and broccoli fried beef, of course, the style of architecture must follow the local customs when it arrives in the United States. Although a bunch of special decorations were imported from Asia when the National Theater was built in 1927, it seems that all but the pair of stone lions were fakes. Moreover, this place is actually the same as the Egyptian theater of the same owner next to it, which is designed and built by the Americans themselves, full of their own aesthetic tastes. ”

"Okay, okay, let's two laymen don't worry about these here, it's the right of people to build whatever they want to build and hang whatever name they want. ”

"I have to take advantage of this name back then!" Atletico turned his head to look at the tourists around him, and among these tourists who searched for the handprints and footprints of stars on the ground, black hair and yellow skin could be seen everywhere. If it was a decade ago, these people would have been more likely to be neon people, but now their nationality is clear in all kinds of accents.

"If it weren't for the cancellation of the May Day Golden Week, it would not be possible to have only such a few people now. ”

"Cut! Now you're a foreigner, okay?"

"Okay, it seems to be the case," Atletico shook his head and took Tang Jiayi's hand and said, "Jiajia, whose handprints do you want to see, I'll find it for you, whether it's John Woo's or Marilyn Monroe's, I promise to find it for you quickly and well." ”

"Not interested," lightly dropped three words, and the girl stepped on her high heels and walked to the ticket hall, if the star she likes is here, or there is a delicately made celebrity wax figure here, she may still have the interest of coming forward to talk or take a group photo, but this kind of handprint footprints on the cement floor can't mention her much interest, after all, except for a few stars such as Monroe and Governor Schwarzenegger, she doesn't know much about most of these stars.

As for the new generation of celebrities she is familiar with, although many of them have a seal ceremony, in essence, they are just to cooperate with the publicity and pay money to do an event, and the cement slabs with the signatures of these people will basically not appear in the vestibule square. Although the threshold for the National Theater Impression Ceremony is much lower, the operator also has to consider the opinions of the majority of fans. So most of the cement slabs made for the marking ceremony ended up lying in the warehouse and eating ashes, after all, the release date of the new movie was only a few weeks, and no one cared about it as long as the publicity period passed.

Soon, the two people who walked into the theater one after another found a very interesting thing, the interior of this theater, which was originally the main "exotic", also used a lot of oriental style elements, and now these decorations are arranged in the eyes of these oriental visitors, they are also deeply "exotic", and you can find the feeling of hunting everywhere.

Just like the name of the cabbage pea called "snow pea" has the same name as "e-color snopea", there is sometimes some unexpected humor in reality.

Coming out of the "Western" or "not foreign" National Theater, the two walked along Hollywood Boulevard, and Atletico suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a building on the side of the road.

Looking at Atletico Madrid, Tang Jiayi saw a row of capitalized Dolbytheatre names.

"This is the former Kodak Theatre and the permanent venue for the Oscars," Atletico explained.

Hearing this, Tang Jiayi raised her head and carefully looked at the building in front of her, because of the Oscar, the Kodak Theater has appeared in the domestic media a lot, but most of the time it is an interior scene, and occasionally the exterior scene is also a night scene, and the camera lens is more willing to chase beautiful stars, and rarely shoots this building comprehensively and meticulously.

Of course, there are many travelogues and other photos on the Internet that share the exterior and interior layout of these buildings, but she deliberately did not look at these pictures too much, thinking that it would lead to a loss of freshness.

Because the global film giant Kodak paid $74 million in naming fees, the Oscars were originally named the Kodak Theater. However, at the beginning of the year, Kodak officially announced that it had filed for bankruptcy protection, as a measure to cut expenses, in order to save the subsequent annual naming fee of $3.6 million, they applied to terminate the naming contract, so this year's Oscars replaced the former name of the Kodak Theater with the name "Hollywood Highlands".

Until the landlord CIM Real Estate found a new "wronged boss", the audio system giant Du Lab Company, in early May officially changed its name to "Du Theater".

It has to be that the Du Theater, built at the beginning of the new century, is undoubtedly more modern and pleasing to the eye, but in the same way, they have seen a lot of modern style buildings at home and abroad, so the time spent visiting here is shorter.

"The reason why Hollywood appeared was forced by Edison, and the patent fee for the camera he invented was so expensive that many early filmmakers went to Los Angeles in the West to make movies, and the West was drier and less prone to rain, and it was more suitable for filmmaking. After all, most of the rain scenes in the movie are not real scenes, and it would be good to spray a little bit with a sprinkler truck, after all, the equipment and the director are not waterproof, "Walking on Hollywood Boulevard, the thoughts and topics of the two of them were involuntarily dominated by the movie.

"Flutter!" Tang Jiayi, who couldn't help laughing, slapped Atletico Madrid in disgust, then looked around and asked a little strangely: "Why didn't I see a few crews?"

"It's not a matter of money and procedures," Atletico spread his hands: "To make a movie in public, you have to apply in advance to ask the Los Angeles Police Department to cooperate with the road closure or something, and the procedures are troublesome with a lot of money, so now many films are shot in front of the blue screen and green screen in the indoor studio, and finally the actor image is deducted frame by frame and PS on the real picture, which saves money and trouble!"

"And now Hollywood's labor and prices are too high, and many film companies have gone out and moved out to Australia or even Australia, anyway, there are special effects. ”

"As for special effects," Tang Jiayi turned her head to look at Atletico Madrid, "When will your special effects come to Hollywood to develop and earn dollars, and you will be developed with some special effects of Iron Man and Avengers!"

Although Bee has always taken the route of cheap and affordable to ensure profitability in the video business, and has always stayed away from high-priced hot dramas, they have been affected by the pond fish after several major domestic network giants have increased their video business. As the price of online broadcast rights of popular film and television dramas continues to rise, even the prices of bad movies and bad dramas are rising, especially those films with celebrity faces.

So the two companies decided to team up to enter Hengdian and move upstream, Bee Film and Television stationed in Hengdian, opened a film and television props company, and also began to invest in filming self-made dramas to enrich the film library. At the same time, its good friend Jiajing Film and Television has also opened a subsidiary in Hengdian "Hengdian Yikuai Film and Television Special Effects Company", which specializes in providing various convenient, fast and low-cost special effects services for domestic film and television crews. On the Internet, this company is nicknamed "a piece of special effects" by friends, because they "focus on providing cheap special effects that are twice as good as the five-cent special effects".

Tang Jiayi specifically mentioned that "a piece of special effects" is naturally a joke to satirize Atletico Madrid, although the special effects provided by the latter are not really as low as one piece per frame, but they are indeed at a low level in the industry, although the quality of the special effects it provides has reached the same level, but the gap with the mainstream special effects level of Hollywood is still obvious. After all, you get what you pay for, a sweat is a harvest, and Yikuai emphasizes cheap and fast, so naturally you can only sacrifice the quality and creativity of special effects.

The poor quality can also be solved by piling up manpower and computing power, but creative design still requires a combination of experience and genius inspiration to achieve, and it also requires the support of a large amount of funds and materials, which is still too difficult for Yikuai special effects, which has only been established for more than a year. Even famous foreign special effects studios often fall into the quagmire of reselling or even going bankrupt at a loss because they can't get a job, or because they participate in the lack of box office and follow-up income.

In contrast, in order to save money, most of the "special effects" are "mature technologies in the industry", in other words, they are all technologies that have appeared in other films, and in the various film and television game special effects they create, they are often found by friends to be similar to Hollywood blockbusters or popular games.

Although the art materials have been completely redrawn in accordance with domestic copyright regulations, this kind of "déjà vu" will definitely not be able to escape the stricter European and American copyright regulations, so Atletico Madrid has no plans to let Yikuai Special Effects go abroad to conduct business overseas. Anyway, his purpose in establishing this company is just to train his special effects team to accumulate technical experience, and it is also to support young filmmakers with dreams and creativity.

As for the "essence" of the domestic special effects industry, it is just the result of unintentional insertion, because of the obvious advantages of cheap and fast, Yikuai special effects have crushed more than a dozen companies and teams focusing on providing low-cost five-cent special effects in the past year, and the company's bankruptcy special effects artists have changed jobs or changed careers, and the remaining special effects companies have to give up the low-end market and turn to the time-consuming and laborious field of high-end professional special effects.

After walking for a while, the two walked into a car rental company, and when they came out again, they were already sitting in a red Ford Mustang sports car. It's more convenient to go out in the United States, after all, there are many satellite cities here that are quite far away.

"Hey, hey, you seem to be driving the wrong way!" Tang Jiayi frowned and looked at Google Maps on her phone.

If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and since you are in Hollywood, of course the two of them have to take a photo with the famous Hollywood logo. However, Tang Jiayi soon discovered that Atletico Madrid's driving direction was obviously different from the recommended route shown on Google Maps.

"That's right, the navigation on Google Maps is wrong. ”

"Huh, how could Google get such a famous place wrong?"

Fingers tapped on the steering wheel, Atletico said with a smile: "According to these rental cars, the residents over there dislike us tourists to park their cars in front of their doors, occupying their parking spaces, and feel that they are all caused by too many tourists, so they simply co-branded like Google to pressure to change the navigation to the surrounding attractions." ”

"Is it okay?"

Faced with his wife's doubts, Atletico could only shrug his shoulders: "It's good to get used to it, it's too normal." ”

In fact, when she really climbed the mountain and walked to the hollyood sign, Tang Jiayi's interest quickly declined, and she took out her mobile phone and took a few photos perfunctorily, and then shouted that she had no intention of going back.

The car restarted, and Atletico turned to her and smiled: "I'm tired of shopping, I don't think it's boring?

Tang Jiayi didn't answer, just closed her eyes and recuperated, completely ignoring Atletico's strange smile.

Waiting for the car to ask questions, Tang Jiayi, who was gently shaken awake by Atletico Madrid, took out her mobile phone to check the map, and found that the map did not match the actual situation, Silicon Valley and Stanford University should be located in Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara Valley), but the mobile phone GPS positioning showed that her location was Santa Fernandovalley.

"Horse cheap, it seems that the map is wrong again, and it locates me to the Fernando Valley again. ”

"That's right, this is also Silicon Valley, well, silicone is also silicon!" mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
