There are a total of eight special effects teams responsible for "Time Warriors", of which the entire project is led by the Australian company Animal, who contracts to other teams to produce Zuò.

The communication and transmission of the eight teams is mainly carried out through the guò network, and the transmission of materials and lenses is carried out through the special high-speed transmission software aspera. ASPERA is specially used to upload and download, and the receiver only needs to use the web page and ID password provided by the company to download the corresponding data, and all the data is encrypted and protected, which is quite secure.

Zhang Ran's review of the special effects shots of the film was also carried out through the software guò, and after the Australian side made a shot, he passed it to Zhang Ran for review. After reading it, Zhang Ran said that if he felt that it was okay, then he would pass it, and if he was not satisfied, he would propose amendments.

So far, the special effects production has progressed relatively smoothly, and it will be almost completed by the end of February.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when Park Zhenghuan came to Tiangong Chongcai, the company's people had already transmitted "Time and Space Warrior" from Australia. The picture quality of the movie is close to 2K, and the whole text is almost 20G.

Last time in Vancouver, Park Zhenghuan watched the movie clip of "Time and Space Warrior", but at that time, the movie was only cut out and composited, no rendering, no effects were added, and the picture of the movie was still quite rough.

This time, most of the special effects of the movie have been rendered, and the whole effect is even more shocking. Especially the final battle between Jason and Alexander, the last time I watched it, it was a bit like a game CG, but now it is completely impossible to see that it is fake, and the effect is very amazing, giving people a strong visual impact!

Park Zhenghuan was really shocked, he couldn't help but think, he was so shocked, what about ordinary fans? He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ran. This young director is really amazing!

Chinese movies are really not only rural movies like "No One Less", this young man has already walked ahead of Asia! Such a film should not be a Chinese film, nor should it be a film made by Chinese! No director in South Korea can make such a movie! If only he were Korean, but unfortunately!

When the movie was over, Park Zhenghuan said sincerely: "This movie will definitely be a big hit! You China can now produce this kind of blockbuster, it's amazing." I don't know when we will be able to have such a big system in Korea!"

Zhang Ran said quietly: "There is still a lot of gap between us and Hollywood, but our special effects costs are much lower than Hollywood, about a quarter of them." ”

Park Zhenghuan was stunned, and then he realized that he was taken by Zhang Ran to visit as soon as he arrived at Tiangong Chongcai, and then asked him to watch "Time and Space Warrior", it turned out that he wanted to take over the special effects business from himself. There are many special effects companies in South Korea, and the level should be similar to Tiangong Chongcai, but the price is more expensive, but it can be considered.

But now Park Jung-hwan needs a movie that uses special effects on a large scale. There is no stubble. Zhang Ran didn't go any further, and began to talk about the topic of "The Sadder".

Park Jung-hwan said: "I watched "Heartbreaker" last night and liked this movie very much. However, the box office of movies with this theme is average, and Korean audiences like to watch blockbusters when they watch foreign language films, and relatively few watch feature films. I'm willing to buy the rights to this movie for $400,000!"

Zhang Ran pondered for a moment and raised the price slightly: "Mr. Park, I am a cheerful person and I don't like nonsense." As long as you pay $500,000, the Korean copyright is yours!"

Park Zhenghuan laughed: "Okay, it's 500,000." Then we're done!"

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded: "Deal!"

The price of 500,000 is actually a bit cheap, but Zhang Ran feels that the most important thing now is to let the movie go out. As long as Chinese films can continue to enter the Korean market, they will be able to cultivate a group of loyal audiences. As long as you have a loyal audience, business can last a long time.

With a calm smile on his face, Park Zhenghuan walked up to Zhang Ran and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's really fun to talk about business with someone like you." Wait for "Time Warrior" to be released in South Korea. You must come to Korea, and I will definitely treat you well!"

Zhang Ran shook his hand and said with a smile: "In China, there is a particularly famous businessman who said when talking about the secret of his success that I should take ten yuan for a business. I can actually take eleven pieces, but I only take nine. I think this is particularly reasonable, and the business can only continue if everyone makes money!"

Park Zhenghuan said: "Mr. Zhang is a long-term person and has been taught!"

After signing the contract, Park Jung-hwan left a check and left with the contract.

A week passed quickly, and the fourth week box office of "Heartbreaker" was released, with a weekly box office of 7 million, with a total of 79 million, while Feng Xiaogang's "Mobile Phone" had a single-week box office of 3 million, with a total box office of 73 million.

According to the current trend, the final box office of "Heartbreaker" should be around 90 million, and it is impossible to break 100 million. But for a rookie director, it's already a miracle that the first film can achieve this result.

At the same time, the four young actors also finished their week-long training and began their final auditions.

The location of the audition has not changed, and the person who presided over the audition has not changed, Zhang Ran, Zhao Fei and Ning Hao, each with a chair, sitting against the wall.

The first to audition was Qin Junjie. Zhang Ran is more optimistic about this child, his temperament is the closest to Qiao Zhengfei among all the actors.

However, Li Xinyue found a problem in the process of training, Qin Junjie has a strong personality and doesn't like to cry much, even if he cries, he will cry silently, and he won't cry loudly. This made Zhang Ran a little headache, because the last scene of the teenager Qiao Zhengfei was to see her mother burned to death and cry loudly in the face of the fire. This scene is the first part of the movie, and if you can't cry, it's infectious.

Zhang Ran looked at Qin Junjie and said, "Now you play a play, the content is like this, you went on a trip with your father, in a strange train station, you got lost, show us." ”

Qin Junjie nodded and began to perform. He looked around, trying to find his father in the crowd, but he didn't see anything, and then, the whole person panicked, and began to walk around, looking through the crowd as he went. He searched for nearly a minute, but did not find his father. His eyes gradually turned red, and then tears rolled down, and he kept crying, "Daddy, Daddy!"

Zhang Ran felt that Qin Junjie's acting was quite good, but Li Xinyue said that Qin Junjie's crying scene was problematic and lacked explosiveness. He stopped, and then commanded: "Now you cry, don't suppress your feelings, cry loudly!"

Qin Junjie cried with a whining voice, but his emotions never let go, so the whole crying scene lacked explosiveness and appeal.

Zhang Ran reminded him twice, but it still didn't work, and he felt a little headache.

If this is the state. Then the last crying scene will not achieve the desired effect!

Although Zhang Ran felt regretful, he could only be eliminated! However, he did not express any dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, you go back, we will notify you when we finish auditioning for all the actors!"

Qin Junjie also knew that his appearance was not good, and when he came out of the room, he lowered his head slightly, looking a little lost.

Accompanying Qin Junjie to audition was his sister Li Yue. She is also an actress herself. When she saw Qin Junjie's expression, she knew that he must be bad, and asked, "What's the matter?" Isn't it a bad act?"

Qin Junjie said "um" and said in a low voice: "The director made me cry loudly, I can't play that feeling!"

Li Yue knew her brother too well, looked at Qin Junjie, and asked, "Then do you want to act in a movie?"

Qin Junjie let out an "um", lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Li Yue knew that Qin Junjie himself was also in a hurry. It's just that I can't grasp the feeling when I'm performing. She pondered for a moment and said, "Look into my sister's eyes!"

Qin Junjie raised his head and looked at Li Yue with a little weakness.

Li Yue raised her hand and gave Qin Junjie a slap. The slap was not heavy, but Qin Junjie was stunned. Because his sister had never treated him like this. Qin Junjie stood there, looking at Li Yue with red circles in his eyes, his eyes full of grievances.

Li Yue was so distressed, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "Sister is going in with you now and telling the director, let's do it again, we will definitely be able to play well this time!"

Zhang Ran saw Qin Junjie and Li Yue coming in, frowned slightly, and said, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Li Yue looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Director, can you let my brother try again, he will definitely be able to act well this time!"

Zhang Ran is very optimistic about Qin Junjie, this child's image and temperament are too similar to Qiao Zhengfei, he is willing to give him another chance: "Yes, then come again!"

This time, Qin Junjie's explosive power came out all of a sudden, sitting on the ground and crying, shouting: "Dad, Dad, where are you?

At the end of the performance, Zhang Ran and the three interviewers all smiled, this is what they wanted!

Waiting for Qin Junjie and his sister to leave, Zhang Ran glanced at Ning Hao and them, and asked, "What do you think?"

Ning Hao gave a thumbs up directly: "Very good, this scene can be filmed directly!"

Zhao Fei echoed: "This child's temperament and state are too similar to Xiao Qiao Zhengfei, I think I can make a decision directly!"

At ten o'clock, another actor Yang Yang who is flying Xiao Qiao came to audition. Yang Yang is a dancer, Zhang Ran has a good impression of children who are born in dance, children who are born in dance can generally endure hardships, and their body and appearance are better than ordinary people. Yang Yang played quite well during the audition, and the crying scene was not inferior to Qin Junjie.

After some weighing, Zhang Ran finally chose Qin Junjie, his imagination and temperament were closer to Qiao Zhengfei. The most important thing in choosing an actor is to match the character's temperament, unless he can reach Leung Ka-fai's Cheng dù, the actor can converge his own temperament.

In the afternoon, Xiao Liu Jiao began to be selected, and the competition objects were Guo Xiaoting and Zheng Xiaoshuang.

Guo Xiaoting has rich experience in acting, she has been filming since she was 5 years old, has performed in several TV series, and has quite rich acting experience. Of course, she also has shortcomings, if an actor acts too much, he will be very ingenious, and he will not be true enough, and the same is true for young actors.

Zheng Xiaoshuang has never acted, her performance is completely unskilled, more sincere, and her image is closer to Zhang Jingchu. However, this child also has a lot of problems, and his personality is a bit introverted, and he is not very easy to communicate.

In the end, after some discussion, Zhang Ran finally chose Zheng Xiaoshuang. Since it is a children's play, he still hopes to choose a more realistic one.

Of course, Zhang Ran did not let the two unsuccessful children run in vain, gave the two children a New Year's gift, and encouraged them that if they have the opportunity to take the Nortel exam in the future, they all have the potential to become actors.

Although the unsuccessful children and parents are regretful, it is also a rare opportunity to be able to accept the guidance of Nortel's teachers, and the crew reimburses the expenses, so they should have come to Peking for a trip.

Qin Junjie and Zheng Xiaoshuang were signed by their parents and received one-third of their salary. Zhang Ran did not treat the two children badly, and each of them was paid 50,000 yuan.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is just around the corner, and every household is lit up and beaming. Zhang Ran, who has been busy outside for a year, also got on the plane and prepared to go home for the New Year. But this time it's different, he's coming home with his girlfriend!(To be continued.) )
