Chapter 229: Lens
The difficulty of the anamorphic lens was beyond Yang Qiu's expectations. With-Dream- . lā
He thought it was just two pieces of special-shaped glass on the patent, just build it at a certain angle, and the biggest workload should be to calculate the data, and then find someone to make it according to the data.
But the data of the first level stumped Zhao Shushen.
After all, he learned to shoot and make movies, not mathematics and physics, he can use lenses, but he can't design lenses, and he really doesn't know anything about the curve design of this special-shaped lens.
In addition, the refractive index of special glass is different.
In the end, I spent money to find a British professor at Xiangjiang University to solve it.
Then, the more troublesome thing came.
To make this lens, you have to use special glass, and you have to make special glass with high purity.
The glass that can meet the conditions, Hong Kong does not have ......
Not to mention Xiangjiang, now the only one in Asia that can produce this kind of glass is neon.
So Zhao Shushen spent a lot of money, took the data drawings, went to the neon side, found a special optical research institute, and modified and customized four shooting and projection shots.
Before and after, from getting the patent to making the finished product, almost half a year has passed.
Yang Qiu's side is nothing, but Zhao Shushen, who is a technical maniac, has spent almost all his efforts on this in the past six months, and even postponed his marriage with his girlfriend Miss Lier.
It made Yang Qiu a little impressed by Zhao Shushen.
In the test room of Daguan, the lights are dim.
The light source in the entire test room is only the light from the projector lens behind it. On the special widescreen in front, there are silent scenes.
On the water of Victoria Bay, sparkling, a ferry is gliding slowly;
On the lush Lion Rock, there is little smoke, and it is completely overlooking the entire peninsula;
On the lively beach of Repulse Bay, tourists are weaving, and the sea water is surging, forming a communication line between people and the sea.
……
The widescreen lens is naturally suitable for shooting this kind of magnificent shot, and it can make people feel the feeling of the vastness of the world from that seemingly endless perspective.
In the projection room at this moment, people like Yang Qiu, who have long been accustomed to the wide screen, are still talking.
The rest;
There is no need to look at Li Hanxiang and the others, Zhao Shushen, the photographer of this landscape short film, has already fallen into a deep shock of this kind of shot, and he can't take his eyes off it.
The short film is not very long, only a little more than five minutes, and then in Yang Qiu's opinion, Zhao Shushen may not understand, or he is in a hurry to shoot, and the composition of the picture is not very ideal.
In short, this short film does not have the advantage of a wide lens that protrudes to the limit.
But everyone in the test room still watched it three times very seriously.
Because, it's so shocking!
Except for Yang Qiu and Zhao Shushen, this is the first time that Li Hanxiang and the three of them have come into contact with widescreen movies, and this kind of speechless lens expression tension is incomparable to the current popular standard lenses.
Otherwise, it would not be possible for later generations of movies to be almost all wide-lens.
The screen gradually darkened, and the curtains of the testing room were opened. A few rays of sunlight shone in, illuminating the testing room.
Bang Bang Bang ——!
Yang Qiu clapped his hands with a smile, looked at Zhao Shu and praised deeply: "Brother Zhao, although there are many hardships along the way, you can really make this deformation shot, you can be regarded as a great contribution." ”
"Boss Yang, don't say good things too early. Zhao Shushen waved his hand, but said with a little sadness on his face: "Even if this deformation shot is made, there are still a lot of practical difficulties." ”
"Oh, what is Brother Zhao worried about?" Yang Qiu asked with his head turned his head sideways.
Zhao Shushen paused for a moment, pointed to the widescreen in front of him and sighed: "Don't say anything else, just talk about the widescreen in front of you, there is no cinema here in Xiangjiang to support it, and our widescreen movie is filmed, I'm afraid it will be useless for the time being!"
"The Problem ...... the Cinema"
Yang Qiu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as the widescreen movie comes out, I dare to guarantee that there will definitely be a theater in Xiangjiang that will support this kind of widescreen movie." ”
"What does Boss Yang mean?" Zhao Shu said suspiciously.
"Opposite the Le Gong Building, I bought the land of the unfinished residential building of the richest man's family, which I bought for one million Hong Kong dollars. Yang Qiu thought about it, and still told the truth: "I think it's more than enough to build a shopping mall and theater there." ”
Zhao Shushen was taken aback, sat up straight and said in surprise: "Boss Yang wants to build a cinema?"
"That's what I mean, and it's not just that......" Yang Qiu flicked his sleeves and said indifferently: "I also spent 1.8 million yuan to take the Dongcheng Building in Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island." ”
“……”
Not only that, but Yang Qiu didn't say anything.
As soon as he won these two locations, Yang Qiu took the land and sent someone to the Taiwan Bank to apply for a loan of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, thinking that with the cooperation of some people, it should be easy to get this money.
And the five million loaned, either rent or buy, and then get three theaters is very simple.
Of course, Yang Qiu will definitely not rent a ready-made theater, after all, the multi-functional theater and the current theater with a single super-large space are too different from the structure and are not easy to modify.
Yang Qiu prefers to lease shopping malls or office buildings with larger space.
Having five theaters is Yang Qiu's initial prospect for the Golden Harvest Cinema Line at this time.
After listening to Yang Qiu's two words, Zhao Shu sneered and said, "I didn't expect Boss Yang to secretly make such a big deal." ”
"Ha, I can't talk about big money, I just want to be more comfortable doing things. ”
"Then Boss Yang's theater line plans to use all widescreens?"
"Hmm. ”
"Boss Yang has so much confidence in the widescreen?"
Yang Qiu pointed to Li Hanxiang and the three people sitting on the other side of him, and replied, "It was just like that before, but just now seeing their performance, I am full of confidence." ”
"Hahaha-"
Zhao Shushen laughed heartily, and then took a few people to his studio and showed them the anamorphic shots of the finished product.
Because the lens is encapsulated, it looks almost the same as a normal lens except for a slightly larger one.
However, when you look in from the lens port, you can see that the two are obviously different, the lens in the normal lens is round, but the lens in this one is oval.
"The second difficulty of this anamorphic lens is that because the lens cover is used on the lens, it has to go through secondary focusing when shooting, which is not easy to adjust. ”
Seeing Yang Qiu stick his head in front of the camera's viewfinder and take a look, Zhao Shushen continued to talk about the difficulties of anamorphic lenses.
“…… In addition, this lens cannot shoot objects within three meters, and at this distance, the bokeh is very serious, and the secondary focus does not work at all. ”
Yang Qiu paused, frowned and asked, "Can't you solve it?"
"Yes. Zhao Shushen pointed to the camera and said quite sarcastically: "It's just that the standard lens has to be removed, but in this way, the anamorphic lens and the camera also have to be greatly changed, which is not a purely optical problem." ”
“……”
Sure enough, if you don't have any technology and talent reserves, don't think about playing this kind of technical life.
Yang Qiu sighed and said abruptly: "Three meters is fine, and it is almost enough to make a movie." ”
"Brother, are you going to make a movie with this guy?" asked Li Hanxiang as he stroked the anamorphic lens in front of him with his eyes shining.
Yang Qiu nodded: "Hmm." ”
"When?"
"Let's go down, I have to finish "Ah Baby" first. ”
"Tut-tut, I knew that there was this technology, and my "Diao Chan" should have started filming later, otherwise this technology would have been used. Li Hanxiang suddenly smashed his mouth and said a little depressedly.
"Heh, use this for your "Diao Chan", where will I show it after filming? ”
