Chapter 726: The special effects company's unwillingness
"First of all, I thought maybe I should start by educating you about some of the technical problems of special effects and the current situation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"What is the core of the special effects of "Transformers"? I believe everyone will say that it is the transformation effect. ā
"In fact, the transformation effect is extremely skillful in animation, and our cold stone special effects are no worse than other special effects companies in this regard, or in other words, the transformation effects in animation are actually not a sophisticated and advanced technology. ā
Of course, CG special effects are much more complex than anime special effects, and in other aspects of special effects, I admit that Hanshi is indeed inferior to the top international special effects companies, but when it comes to transformation effects, specific to the transformation effects of "Transformers", I can say that whether it is a magic tower or a light and magic, there is actually no mature technology. ā
"Of course, we don't have cold stone special effects either, but because of this, our cold stone special effects are no worse than them in this regard. Because everyone is starting from scratch. ā
"How do we make those cool special effects that we usually see? Maybe you don't know that the most difficult thing about a special effect is often not the technology, but the huge workload and repeated experiments. ā
"Our cold stone special effects, after acquiring a number of well-known special effects companies, after integrating their own good technologies, may not be as good as the magic tower and light magic in other aspects, but in terms of professional and technical personnel, our cold stone special effects are definitely not worse than them, and even our cold stone special effects, with the number of middle and senior technical personnel, have surpassed them. ā
"Therefore, with the same new technology, our Hanshi definitely has the strength to be comparable to other top special effects companies, because many new special effects are actually developed and experimented at the same time. ā
"Our cold stone special effects, now the difference is just a chance, a chance to prove themselves, to prove that our special effects company in Huaguo, in fact, is not worse than others, Mr. Ye gave us this opportunity, so we will prove to everyone that Mr. Ye's choice is right. ā
"You may wonder, what's the use of empty words? You may not know that before the special effects of Hanshi were acquired by Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye once gave us a test of Hanshi, and our Hanshi completed this test, which is the reason why Mr. Ye finally chose Hanshi. ā
"Please look at the big screen. The next thing I want to show you is an answer sheet that we submitted to Mr. Ye this time. ā
What appears on the big screen is a CG special effects of a Transformers metamorphosis.
In the process of driving at high speed, the car suddenly transforms into a bumblebee robot.
This picture is actually not the previous one that was used as a test, but was recreated after adding equipment and acquiring a number of companies.
Although it still failed to reach the level of "Transformers" that Ye Qiu saw in his previous life, it was much better than the first time.
"Hiss!" Many of the media reporters at the scene gasped.
This picture, for now, is absolutely amazing, and this is actually the work of cold stone special effects.
"Bang Bang Bang!" involuntarily the media reporters at the scene applauded, although this scene was only a short less than half a minute, but it was enough to prove the strength of Han Shi.
ā¦ā¦
The press conference of "Transformers" can be regarded as a complete success, with 300 million US dollars, Huaguo Special Effects Company, etc., all of which have earned enough eyeballs.
Such news carries enough weight everywhere, let alone in China.
There are people who like to run big, which is nothing more than to say, my Daye God has finally made a big move.
The voices of doubt are also endless, this is not to say that they don't believe in Ye Qiu's vision, but this time, it can be regarded as the biggest stroke in Ye Qiu's history.
The production cost of $300 million is really shocking.
The most important thing is that 300 million US dollars, smashed down, but let alone making a profit, how to recover the cost is a problem, right?
"The Golden Sage has shot again, and 300 million US dollars will be spent to create a real special effects blockbuster "Transformers"!"
"300 million US dollars! Or just cheer for the special effects company, and the return is worrying!"
"Cold Stone Special Effects Chen Guang: Huaguo Special Effects Company is not afraid of the magic tower light magic!"
āā¦ā¦ā
It can be said that Dianjin Film and Television's live-action movie about "Transformers" definitely dropped a bombshell in the Chinese film industry.
What is called a big production, 300 million, and it is still US dollars, looking at the world, this production cost can already be ranked in the top ten.
Even, many foreign media have reprinted reports about the fact that Huaguo's film company spent 300 million yuan to shoot "Transformers" this time.
Some people disdain, thinking that Chinese people are getting richer and richer, but movies are not something that can be played with money.
Some people are surprised that there are such bold people in Huaguo, who spent 300 million US dollars to create a special effects blockbuster of "Transformers", not to mention whether the cost can be recovered, let's just say that the impact of this event is already extremely shocking.
However, some people analyzed that "Transformers" invested 300 million US dollars, including 50 million US dollars from Hasbro, if Ye Qiu was just using this movie to cultivate his special effects company, it seemed unlikely, after all, it was 300 million US dollars instead of 300 million Chinese dollars.
Moreover, Baby Group, although not mainly engaged in the film and television industry, its toys themselves are greatly related to the film and television industry, and the "Transformers" series of toys sell well in North America and even the world, so to speak, has begun to accumulate a lot of fans.
"Transformers" is a special effects blockbuster, the production cycle of this kind of film can not be completed in a year and a half, when the live-action movie of "Transformers" came out, "Transformers" has also accumulated a lot of toy fans.
This alone is enough to make "Transformers" invincible, because the box office of the movie may be at a loss, but the influence and sales of "Transformers" peripheral products are predictable.
Therefore, perhaps it is said that "Transformers" is a blockbuster movie, but it is better to say that "Transformers" can actually be a special effects commercial to promote "Transformers" toys.
The most questionable thing is not the production cost of "Transformers" of 300 million US dollars, nor whether "Transformers" can recover the cost, but that "Transformers" was handed over to a special effects company in China to produce, the question is, does Huaguo have any powerful special effects companies?
Can the special effects of the cold stone complete the special effects of "Transformers"? Can they compare with the top special effects companies such as the Upper Demon Tower and Light and Magic?
Even for top special effects companies like Tower and Light & Magic, "Transformers" is undoubtedly a huge piece of cake.
Although Ye Qiu decided to hand over "Transformers" to his special effects company to produce special effects, they were still unwilling.
