Whether you can shoot "Titanfall 2" well, special effects are the most critical.

Special effects have always been synonymous with blockbusters.

And special effects are the most scarce in domestic films.

It doesn't mean that the domestic special effects team or company can't make any good special effects, but on the contrary, the domestic special effects team or company can not only make special effects, but also make very good special effects.

For example, "2012", "Fast and Furious 5", "Fast and Furious 6", "Pacific Rim", "HUNGER GAME" and the super popular American drama "Game of Thrones" and so on, these blockbusters have a large number of special effects shots completed by Chinese in China.

There are no special effects that can be seen on the market that domestic special effects teams can't do.

But domestic movies and TV series always appear with some five-cent special effects and garbage special effects, why is this?

Zhou Yu kept asking himself this question when he was an audience, and he also went to Baidu for relevant information, and later learned the most critical reason.

Why?

That's it.

1. Celebrities are too valuable and occupy the majority of investment funds, resulting in a pitiful lack of funds for film shooting and special effects.

In recent years, Chinese directors have begun to pay attention to CG production in production, and the investment in special effects has continued to increase, and films with hundreds of millions of special effects investment have emerged in endlessly, but unfortunately the truth is that the money that really falls into the hands of CG production companies is actually very small, and the best result is to make a discount on the investment amount of publicity, and it is unknown where the remaining money goes or not at all.

This is also the biggest status quo at the moment.

In addition to the high value of celebrities, there is a more important reason, and that is the director.

While domestic directors are forced to pay attention to the production of special effects under the pressure of special effects of Western blockbusters, it exposes the director's ignorance and misunderstanding of special effects, none of the older generation of directors really understand special effects, and these directors have never learned what CG is in film school, and there may not even be an older generation of directors who know the real production process of CG.

In this way, there is a problem.

What's the problem?

That is the problem of communication when actually shooting the project, which can be solved with a little attention during the shooting, and finally the CG production company is very nerve-wracking, or even impossible to carry out at all.

On the Hollywood side of the United States, after the script is finalized, there is the position of special effects director.

In China, special effects directors often appear after the filming of the film is completed.

In addition to the director's lack of understanding of CG, there are other aspects, such as saving money the most common.

CG is the highlight of blockbuster movies, taking the explosion of a building as an example, it is often because the price of a real explosion is too high to use the computer to do it, so once your offer is higher than the actual shot, will the director still do it?

However, does the effect you created in the actual shooting have the kind of special visual effects that your director wants to show in CG?

There are many reasons.

The original Zhou Yu was just a viewer who complained about the special effects of domestic movies and TV series.

But now let him organize the filming of a movie, and these things have to be paid special attention.

To this end, Zhou Yu also re-searched these related materials on Baidu alone, and saved and printed them.

(PS: Part of the above content quotes the post of "Where are the domestic special effects worse than Hollywood" by the user of Du Niang Bar post 'Relay China Elite Association'.) ）

These things are not only related to the filming of "Titanfall 2", but the other two filming also require a lot of CG special effects, not just for this one.

In terms of movies, the first "Titanfall 2" Zhou Yu is planning to make a decision.

Just shoot this.

The reason is also because he meets the conditions of various blockbusters, as long as the special effects are done, he should be able to get a score of at least 7.0 or above.

As for the shooting plan of another movie, Zhou Yu didn't have a clue for a while, mainly with a score of 8.0 or above, and he couldn't figure out anything for a while. There are some popular games that want to be adapted in the past and want to be now、Or。

Especially, such as "Breaking the Sky", "The Story of Eight Dings" and so on.

However, it is not very good to adapt the movie.

If it's just a small excerpt, maybe it's okay, but if the whole movie is made into a movie, it's obviously not enough, because the time of a movie is around 90 to 120 minutes, and there are too many plots to put it down at all.

But if it is deleted, many things are not explained, and it is easy for the audience to understand it.

For example, "Why Xiaomo", "Three Lives and Three Worlds Peach Blossoms Don't Bloom", etc., if you haven't watched the TV series or the original book, you will watch it inexplicably just by watching the movie alone, and you don't know what you're talking about.

This is also a common problem of many popular IP adaptation movies.

Another movie, Zhou Yu has not yet chosen which one to shoot.

But in the TV series, Zhou Yu has a choice.

At present, he is personally more inclined to this one.

It is the most classic and best sword work among Sword and Fairy fans - "The Legend of Sword and Fairy IV".

Xianyi has been photographed, and Xiansan has also been photographed.

A while ago, someone also photographed Xianwu.

As for why Xiansi was not filmed, the reason for this Zhou Yu is unknown, but there is one thing he knows, that is, Xiansi's status in the eyes of immortal fans is incomparable, and then look at the fairy swords filmed before, Xian Yi and Xian San, let's say it's ruined, in the eyes of ordinary audiences, he can be said to be okay, but it can be said that he is not ruined, he is in the eyes of immortal fans, hehehe.

As for the Immortal Five......

It's as if Xianwu hadn't filmed yet.

This is the idea of almost all immortal fans, Xianyi and Xiansan, although the difference is bad, not how the fairy sword in the eyes of immortal fans, but what kind of thing is this immortal five shots?

Zhou Yu only dared to shoot Xianjian Four, the biggest reason was ......

Does he need a commercial film?

TV series and movies, no matter which one they are, are almost running for business and profit.

There aren't enough interests that those businessmen will plug in?

Benefit?

Box office?

Ratings?

Money?

In the end, it is money that gathers in the end!

Is Zhou Yu short of money?

The last thing he lacks is money!

I have an unlimited balance, and I still care about the money of ratings?

This is also the reason why Zhou Yu filmed Xianjian Si.

Shooting purely for the sake of shooting, not bad money.

Change the plot?

What a plot to change!

The reasons why the screenwriter changed the plot are nothing more than these few, first, this picture is not easy to shoot, or it takes a lot of money and special effects to shoot this picture, so it was changed. Second, the appearance rate of this character is too low, and it is impossible to praise people to reflect him, so the plot is added to the character and changed. This point is taken as an example of "Zhuxian Qingyun Sword".
