Chapter 596: Successful R&D

When Zhang Ran and his entourage walked into the Tiangong Chongcai projection room, Sun Kewang, who was in charge of research and development, had been waiting for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Sun Kewang didn't speak, and smiled at Zhang Ran, showing confidence in the next show.

When Zhang Ran and the others sat down, Sun Kewang took a deep breath and turned on the special effects in the player.

On the big screen, a panorama of Tangshan is taken from the air, and the picture is black and white, a monochrome 3D building model, and there are no color maps. However, although it is monochrome, it is a 3D architectural model, which is quite shocking to watch on the big screen. Suddenly, a shocking scene appeared.

The ground rippled like a wave of water, like a ripple on the surface of a calm lake, which swayed from close range and quickly disappeared at the end of the picture......

At the same time as the building collapsed, the camera's lens began to push forward. When passing by a seven-story building, you can clearly see that the building is collapsing, people screaming and falling down from the upper floors, and different things such as benches, beds, and tables pouring out of the building, making people's hair tingle.

The camera camera continued to move forward, and soon pushed to the building where Wang Luodan and Cao Bingkun were located, and pushed into their rooms, and the picture instantly turned into color. This part is a real shot, which is the effect of combining the CG special effects shots with Wang Luodan and their live shots.

Zhang Ran nodded slightly, although the two lenses are combined, but the contact point is not visible at all, it is like a lens, it is seamless.

On the screen, Wang Luodan was completely stupid and didn't know what was going on. Cao Bingkun reacted quickly and shouted, "Earthquake, earthquake!" He slammed open the door, pulled Wang Luodan and ran out. When they rushed out of the room, both of them were stunned, and the hallway was blazing red.

When Zhang Jingchu and Yu Feihong saw this scene, they both exclaimed!

It turned out that the earthquake knocked down the briquette stove in the corridor for cooking, and the corridor was full of red briquettes, which looked very infiltrating. But now that it is important to escape, Wang Luodan and Cao Bingkun came back to their senses, and they didn't care about dodging briquettes, and ran directly towards the entrance of the building.

"Okay, it's really great!" When the whole scene was played, Zhang Ran stood up and applauded, Ding Sheng, Zhang Jingchu, and Yu Feihong also stood up and applauded, everyone's faces were filled with excitement. This special effect is fully at the level of a Hollywood blockbuster, the grandeur of the scene, the realism of the details, is simply breathtaking!

Zhang Ran looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, what do you think, the effect is acceptable, right?"

It's not just passable, it's just shocking!

Yu Feihong was really stunned and didn't know what to say.

Zhang Jingchu said excitedly: "The effect is much better than what I saw last year, it's too real!"

Recently, Ning Hao was busy with the promotion of "Crazy Travel", and Ding Sheng took over his work as the director of the second photography group. Ding Sheng followed Zhang Ran to shoot "Time and Space Warrior", participated in the discussion and production of special effects, and can be regarded as having seen the special effects production of Hollywood A-level movies, but he is still shocked.

Ding Sheng sincerely admired: "For the reality of special effects, I think it should be like this, with details full of life!"

Zhang Ran nodded slightly, the most important thing in this movie is the truth, the truth of the details is particularly important, the more real the movie, the more it can move people's hearts! He looked at Chen Ningyu and then at Sun Kewang, and smiled: "These scenes have been hanging in my heart for nearly a year, and now they have finally landed!"

In fact, even if the earthquake plug-in is not developed on time, Zhang Ran will still keep the large-scale scene in his vision, but no longer consider the real physical reaction. Both Zhang Ran and Tangshan hope that the film will perform well overseas, and if the film does not have a big scene, it will hardly sell overseas.

Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" is only tens of thousands of dollars in North America, mainly because there are few special effects shots, and almost all of them are local shots, there are no big scenes, and it looks particularly stingy, which cannot be compared with Hollywood blockbusters at all, and is not attractive to overseas audiences.

Now that the earthquake plug-in has been developed, the special effects of the movie can finally be produced in the most ideal state!

Sun Kewang was not hanging with a stone in his heart, and now he can breathe a sigh of relief: "We have been working overtime for research and development, and we have finally lived up to your expectations!"

Zhang Ran patted Sun Kewang on the shoulder vigorously: "You have worked hard! I have a treat tonight, call everyone, and I will celebrate everyone!"

The successful development of the earthquake collapse plug-in is indeed worth celebrating, not only to produce the ideal special effects, but also to improve the quality of the sky. Before the development of plug-ins, Tiangong Chongcai can only be regarded as a third-rate company in the world, and now it has taken a step forward and is considered a second-rate company.

Now Tiangong Chongcai is still far from first-class companies like Pixomondo, and even farther away from top-tier companies like Wet. However, this is a good start, and in the next few years, more and more blockbusters will be produced at the peak of the Middle Ages, and Tiangong Chongcai will inevitably grow rapidly and move towards the top special effects company.

Zhang Ran once watched an interview with a Chinese reporter interviewing Peter Jackson. Jackson said that when we were filming "The Lord of the Rings," no one in New Zealand knew how to do special effects, and we were only a very small country, so we bought computers and recruited people, and this is what Weta is now. But we don't have Peter Jackson, the reporter said. Jackson said, you have a lot of excellent directors, I just did my own special effects company in New Zealand, do you have a director who does your own special effects company? The reporter's answer made Zhang Ran feel very aggrieved, no.

In this life, Zhang Ran spent a huge amount of money to buy equipment, poured his heart and soul into network talents, and now he has finally built a decent special effects company!

There was no media or stars at the celebration banquet in the evening, only special effects artists and R&D personnel, as well as Zhang Ran and several members of the director team, everyone was very casual.

After the banquet began, Zhang Ran got up and said, "At noon today, Ding Sheng and I watched the special effects, and after watching it, Ding Sheng went directly to the toilet." The picture was so shocking that he was so scared that he almost peed his pants. The special effects artists burst into laughter, and Ding Sheng shook his head helplessly, why do you keep making fun of me.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Just kidding! But seriously, the effect is really shocking, and I was shocked." And we're still looking at a monochrome model, and we haven't painted a map yet. I believe that when the special effects are completed, the audience will be stunned when they see these shots on the IMAX giant screen!"

Bang Bang Bang –

The applause rang out overwhelmingly.

When the applause stopped, Zhang Ran continued: "I have filmed A-level productions, and I have also worked with first-class foreign teams, I dare to say that these shots of our "Tangshan Earthquake" have reached the top international level. This time, everyone has really achieved a new height of domestic films, and it is the pinnacle of domestic film special effects so far! I believe that after the movie is released, foreign directors will be amazed, wow, China's special effects are so powerful! In the future, when they want to make earthquake special effects, the first thing they think of will be us, and this will become our signature for making a name for ourselves!"

The special effects artist was very excited, and they all stood up and gave the warmest applause.

"In the past few months, everyone has worked hard! I salute you for this glass of wine! Come, cheers!" Zhang Ran raised his glass.

"!" the special effects artists present all raised their glasses.

The successful development of the plug-in made the most difficult piece of the puzzle of "Tangshan Earthquake" filled, and the stone that had been pressed in Zhang Ran's heart for nearly a year finally landed, and the whole shooting also entered the fast lane. The time is fast into February, and there are only some finishing shots left for the movie, and the day when the movie is finished is getting closer and closer.

In the studio of Beijing Film Studio, in front of the street built, the entire crew is waiting. Now we are going to shoot the footage of someone jumping from the window on the third floor of the hotel during the earthquake, and then being hit by a falling sign.

It is impossible to shoot this kind of shot to really drop a sign from the air and hit the actor, it can only be synthesized by computer. This shot needs to be shot three times, the first time is to shoot the building directly, the second time is to wrap the building with a green screen, and then the actor jumps down from the window, the third time is to put a green dummy where the actor lands, and then the sign falls from the sky and smashes on the dummy; after the three shots, the green screen is cut off and overlapped, which is the desired effect.

Although it was jumping down from the third floor, the floor was not too high, and there was Weiya, which was absolutely safe, but Huang Xuan, who was in charge of jumping off the building, was still very nervous, and his feet couldn't help shaking.

Yang Fan and Huang Xuan are enemies, and they always pinch back and forth when they are fine. At this moment, Yang Fan saw Huang Xuan standing upstairs with a nervous face, and shouted gloatingly: "Xiao Xuan, jump! You are jumping! Zhaocang has jumped, and Tang Ta has also jumped, you are jumping!"

Huang Xuan took a deep breath and sued Diao: "Teacher Zhang, Yang Fan is making trouble here, she affects my emotions of jumping off the building!"

Zhang Ran glared at Yang Fan fiercely, raised his head and said, "Huang Xuan, you come down, change Yang Fan to jump!"

Huang Xuan sneered when he heard this: "Teacher Zhang, I'll come down immediately!" He shouted proudly at Yang Fan: "Little fox, I'll leave you next!"

Yang Fan was dumbfounded, Xiao Ranran, you are too ruthless, I am a girl, do you want to be so poisonous? She ran to Zhang Ran and said pitifully: "Teacher Zhang, I promise not to shout again!"

Zhang Ran smiled and encouraged: "You are here to experience life, jumping off the building is a rare experience, you can experience it!"

Yang Mixin said Why don't you experience it, hateful guy, and continued to plead: "Teacher Zhang, I have a fear of heights!"

Zhang Ran had a skeptical expression: "Are you really afraid of heights?"

Yang Fan felt that there was a way to do this, and nodded again and again: "I'm really afraid of heights, it's more true than the truth!"

Zhang Ran wiped his chin and said with a smile: "Do you know? As an actor, you will definitely not be able to avoid martial arts scenes in China, and you will definitely not be able to avoid hanging Weiya." As an actor, you are afraid of heights, so what will you do with Hang Weiya in the future? This problem will be cured! Fear of heights means jumping off buildings too little, just jump a few more times. He turned around and shouted, "Makeup artist, put on makeup for Yang Fan!"

Yang Mi almost fainted, gritted his teeth: "The surname is Zhang, you are ruthless!"

Twenty minutes later, Yang Fan stood upstairs, and the staff made an OK gesture to Zhang Ran after carefully checking the safety equipment on her body.

The lighting, props, and photography are all back in the air.

With a start, the shooting officially began, and Zhang Ran shouted loudly: "You can jump!"

Yang Fan scolded fiercely in her heart, Zhang Donkey, bastard! Huang Shiren, bastard! You two are bastards! She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and jumped down from the window under the pull of Weiya.
