Chapter 731: The Inside Story of the Scandal
The key is that the cost of special effects production for the two films is as high as 20 million for "War of the Gods", while the other Hollywood movie is only a few million dollars. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
What's even more outrageous is that the Hollywood movie was released three years ago.
With the first reason, netizens are powerful, and soon some netizens found special effects clips of other Hollywood movies, and then compared them with "The Legend of the Gods", and the result was found at a glance.
"The Gods of War" was completely slaughtered by Light and Demons, not only the fee is high, but the key is that even the Hollywood movies of three years ago are better than "The Gods of War".
And the money spent is less than half of "The Legend of the Gods".
Except for Ye Qiu, no one expected that the scope of this special effects event would be so wide.
After "The Legend of the Gods", some netizens sorted out a list of special effects produced by top Hollywood special effects companies for domestic films, as well as the comparison between the special effects of the same type in Hollywood movies.
It is illustrated and illustrated, and there is also a video commentary.
As a result, the people who eat melons are dumbfounded, what is the difference, this gap is too obvious, right?
There is no harm if there is no comparison, but this comparison is not only harmful, but also a special heart-piercing injury.
Of course, the things exposed by these netizens do not seem to be professionally convincing, so some media interviewed the CEOs of several well-known special effects companies in China.
Among them, Chen Guang, the boss of the cold stone special effects, is naturally indispensable.
"Mr. Chen, at present, on the Internet about the special effects of a series of Chinese movies such as "The Legend of the Gods", I spent a lot of money to hire a Hollywood special effects company to produce special effects, but the result was a very perfunctory effect, you are a professional, can you talk about what caused such a big surprise?"
"In fact, this kind of thing is not new in the industry, and we have also experienced a period of outsourcing. ”
"Take "Gods of War" as an example, there are a lot of special effects, which are indeed made by commercial software, but it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them. ”
"Hollywood special effects blockbusters have made Hollywood special effects companies famous, and those movies are also their signatures, and their technology is indeed top-notch, there is nothing to doubt about this. ”
"But to give them the special effects order to do, it does not mean that they really made it themselves, this is actually not to blame others, I will give an example, as far as I know, Hollywood's top special effects companies are the most, in the same time period, there are more than 20 orders for movie special effects, do movie special effects, not with software can be done casually, even if you have the technology, but you also need manpower to achieve. ”
"With the current scale of the special effects company, even if it is the largest and top special effects company in the world, there are more than 20 film special effects orders, many of which are large orders for Hollywood films, and some orders must be completed by the magic tower itself, because it is likely to involve many new technologies. In this way, the magic tower naturally arranges all the manpower to these large orders, and what about other orders? ”
"But the special effects that we Hanshi once received, I won't say much about which movie it is, the funds given by the other party are like 20 million US dollars, but if we are outsourced to Hanshi to do it, it may not be 2 million US dollars, just imagine, 2 million US dollars, of which we naturally need to leave a certain profit, so how can we make any perfect special effects? ”
"In fact, these special effects are handed over to us Hanshi to do, and our price is definitely lower than that of Hollywood special effects companies, but the bosses and directors of film and television companies don't see it that way, because the other party is famous. Even if they know that the other party will outsource the order to other special effects companies, they can also use the other party's banner to do publicity. ”
So a vicious circle was formed, the domestic special effects companies were not trusted, and they could only survive by outsourcing, and a large amount of money was earned by those special effects companies, and the film and television companies spent a lot of money, but in fact, they did not buy special effects, but the other party's brand. ”
"Similarly, if it is a local Hollywood company, the other party naturally does not dare to do that, so the special effects circle is circulating in our Chinese film and television market, and this is how people are stupid and have a lot of money. ”
"In fact, many special effects, the technology involved is not advanced, Huaguo's local special effects companies can do it, and if you find Huaguo's special effects company to do it, if you are not satisfied, you can come to the door at any time to ask for modifications, but for Hollywood special effects companies, domestic film and television companies obviously do not have this momentum. ”
"Of course, this belongs to one who is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and it is really strange. Chen Guang talked eloquently.
Although the cold stone special effects are not yet famous in the world, they are famous in China, at least they are the first in China.
The weight of Chen Guang's words was naturally unusual.
And the key is that what Chen Guang said is the truth, and you can know it by checking it casually.
So melon-eating netizens began to complain, the so-called first-class foreigners and second-class officials, I didn't expect that now, they still have such thoughts.
In fact, there are many news about the high fees of Hollywood special effects companies, etc., but everyone has always thought that Hollywood special effects companies charge high, but at least they are reliable, but now it seems that this is not the case.
The CEOs and directors of some film companies have also begun to come forward to complain about their bitterness.
As soon as the audience heard that it was a special effect produced by a local special effects company in Huaguo, they didn't watch the movie yet, so they directly labeled it as a five-cent special effect, so they would send it to the door to slaughter foreigners and were unwilling to give Huaguo's special effects company to do it.
After making trouble for a long time, in the end, it was the vast number of people who were deceived by the melon-eating masses, and the melon-eating masses have always been, I would rather bear the world than the world, how can I bear it?
So a large number of melon-eating people who denounced Hollywood special effects companies began to gather, and of course, they also condemned domestic film and television companies.
The most obvious impact is the recently released domestic blockbuster, and this time they found that it was counterproductive to play the name of Hollywood's top special effects team to produce special effects.
As long as the special effects shots that are slightly unsatisfactory will be used by netizens for infinite interpretation and brainstorming.
On the contrary, the box office of "The Legend of the Gods", which is notorious because of the special effects incident, has rebounded, and people's curiosity is unlimited, and other movies are not yet known, but "The Legend of the Gods" is being released.
So shouldn't we take a look at how obvious the difference between the special effects made at the same price and Hollywood movies is?
For a while, Hollywood's top special effects companies such as Magic Tower, Light Magic, etc., which have a lot of business in China, suddenly became the target of countless melon-eating people.
Bullying people, it's really too bullying, it's just too much bullying.
Of course, some netizens are also angry with Huaguo's film and television companies and special effects companies.
The most direct impact is that many film and television companies suddenly found that the reputation of Hollywood's top special effects team is not so good.
