Momentary fluke success does not turn a person into a successful person.

Therefore, there is no fluke in success.

Feng Xiaogang, who learned from Wang Yu that Li Qing was going to come to California to find Industrial Light & Magic to produce the special effects of the MV of "Wukong", and Feng Xiaogang, who could not continue to choose locations in New York due to weather conditions, flew to Los Angeles to go with Li Qing to gain knowledge.

As soon as Li Qing received Feng Xiaogang, Feng Xiaogang said: "You are so powerful, you can make such a big move when you shoot a MV, and even the special effects are used!"

Li Qing smiled: "It's just a gimmick, I'm a newcomer who is not famous at all, if I don't want to find a way, how can I break out of the encirclement?"

In the past, Feng Xiaogang liked to mix with Li Qing, firstly because Li Qing never ridiculed him like other people, secondly because Li Qing was really talented and had Li Qing as a friend to make his face glow, and thirdly, because Feng Xiaogang felt that Li Qing had something very similar to him - Feng Xiaogang concluded that he and Li Qing had the same smell.

Later, he learned from Wang Yu that Li Qing really got two million production fees from Dadi Records, Feng Xiaogang felt that he still underestimated Li Qing, if he could fool around and get two million, he would be able to make two movies.

Feng Xiaogang has always admired talented and capable people, just like Wang Yu, the reason why Feng Xiaogang followed Wang Yu's ass in vain was because he really needed Wang Yu's resources, and secondly, because he really admired Wang Yu, otherwise how could he memorize Wang Yu's books backwards?

Feng Xiaogang laughed: "You really dare to brag, do you know what special effects are?"

Li Qing said: "You really asked the right person, I estimate that there are really few people in China who know more about special effects than me, I have spent four years studying special effects, for which I even learned English." - Li Qing is talking about the real things that happened to him in the previous life.

Feng Xiaogang didn't believe it: "You can blow it, and you're not afraid of breaking the heavenly drum!"

Out of the airport.

Got into a taxi.

Feng Xiaogang pretended to be a big-tailed wolf: "go to Letterman Center for Digital Art~"

The driver looked confused, "What?"

Feng Xiaogang said with a gesture: "Lightman Digital Art Center ~ Letterman ~ ...... Digital Art Center~"

The driver still shook his head, indicating that he did not understand.

Li Qing said: "Letterman Digital Arts Center."

The driver immediately said, "Certaily, sir. ", and then started the taxi.

After the car started, the driver said, "Have you ever lived in San Francisco, sir?) Your accent has a pure taste of San Francisco. ）”

Li Qing said: "I studied special effects in San Francisco for about a year. ）”

“……”

“……”

Seeing that Li Qing could chat with the taxi driver in English, Feng Xiaogang was impressed by Li Qing again, and said, "You speak English so well!"

Li Qing smiled: "Otherwise, I can compose English songs?"

Feng Xiaogang was right when he thought about it, and then said, "You really understand special effects?"

Li Qing explained to Feng Xiaogang: "Special effects refer to special effects. It is usually a special effect created by computer software that does not usually appear in reality...... Special effects generally include sound effects and visual effects...... Special effects are widely used in TV, movies, games, and songs......"

If there were other people around him, like Wang Yu or Ye Jing, Li Qing would never explain the special effects.

First, it's useless to talk about it, and they may not listen carefully to the boring theoretical knowledge of special effects.

Second, they may mistakenly think that he Li Qing is a good teacher.

But Feng Xiaogang is different, the reason why Feng Xiaogang can become the top three directors in China G is largely because he has a strong desire to learn, and he has been trying to break through himself all his life.

Many people will think that Feng Xiaogang's best movies are the early "Party A and Party B", "Endless", "See You or Leave", and "Big Names", because they are witty and humorous, and they make people feel more than happy after watching them.

In fact, it's really not, Feng Xiaogang's best movies are "Tangshan Earthquake" and "1942", especially the latter - after the precipitation of time, I am afraid that the only thing left of Feng Xiaogang's movies in the future is "1942".

Even "Night Banquet", which was scolded as a dog, is actually much better than "Party A and Party B", "Endless", "See You or Leave", and "Big Shot" - in terms of sets, costumes, props and overall visual effects, "Night Banquet" even surpasses the previous "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides" and "Wu Ji", and the production is very good, worthy of the name of blockbuster.

Of course, then again, for most people, including Li Qing, there is always only one yardstick for a good movie - the box office.

Feng Xiaogang actually understands this truth, which is why he filmed "Do Not Disturb for Sincerity" 1 and 2 and why he filmed "Private Customization".

In general, Feng Xiaogang is a contradictory person who has always found a balance between art and business, in fact, this has a lot to do with Feng Xiaogang's growth experience and thin roots, if Feng Xiaogang has always been escorted like Chen Kaige, he may not have to live so tired, and he can shoot whatever he wants, without thinking about whether he makes money, whether he can have any more opportunities for guidance, whether he will evil some big people, etc......

On the way to the Letterman Center for Digital Art, Li Qing has been explaining special effects to Feng Xiaogang, helping Feng Xiaogang open a new window for him to touch a new world, and of course, giving Feng Xiaogang a new understanding of Li Qing.

However, what really made Feng Xiaogang feel awe of Li Qing was after he and Li Qing arrived at the headquarters of Industrial Light and Magic.

At first, the people of Industrial Light & Magic didn't pay much attention to Li Qing and his party - they only sent a white technician in his twenties to talk to Li Qing, Feng Xiaogang and Liu Zhuo.

As a result, in less than five minutes, the man was sweating profusely by Li Qing's question, and then found an excuse to leave.

After about 20 minutes, three technicians in their thirties came over, and then the three technicians had a heated discussion with Li Qing.

But soon all three technicians were defeated, and only listeners were left.

At this time, Li Qing took out the storyboard script he brought and talked to the three technicians of Industrial Light & Magic about the special effects he wanted.

Regarding some of Li Qing's requests, the people of Industrial Light & Magic shook their heads and said that they couldn't do it at all, but Li Qing pulled it slightly, and the people of Industrial Light & Magic said that there was no problem or that they could try.

Feng Xiaogang hated himself very much that he didn't understand English and couldn't understand what Li Qing was talking to the people of Industrial Light and Magic!

Liu Zhuohua understands English, but he is also like a duck listening to thunder, and he is like listening to the proper nouns such as "AE", "layer", and "rendering" that Li Qing and the technicians of Industrial Light and Magic say.

But—

Although he couldn't understand what Li Qing was talking about, Liu Zhuohui was completely relieved, because Li Qing not only understood, but also was very good!
