The affairs of the studio have now been completely handed over to Chu Fei, and Li Mu basically won't ask anymore, just like that, he believes that Chu Fei can manage the studio of the two crews.

Out of the studio building, Li Mu went straight to PO Chaoting, and called Nicholas Tse on the way to inform him.

When I came downstairs to his company, I saw Nicholas Tse waiting at the door with someone.

"Mr. Li is here. Nicholas Tse stepped forward to say hello.

"Mr. Xie, why did you come down in person!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, I'm definitely going to greet you when you come, let's go in and talk about it!" Nicholas Tse led Li Mu and the others upstairs.

After sitting down in a conference room, Li Mu took out the film and put it on the table, which was full of a small lockbox.

Although we have now entered the digital age, many movies choose to be shot with digital cameras in order to save costs, but Li Mu still chooses to shoot with traditional film.

First of all, the texture of film is incomparable to digital. The magnification and projection of film onto the screen, the sense of layering, color saturation, light and shadow and clarity are very good, while the digital synthesis is poorer, and the film with the same clarity is completely different from the effect shot with digital camera and film

"That's all we have for this film, because the studio is currently cutting a TV series, so I'm going to bring it over and edit it with you. Li Mu said.

Of course, Nicholas Tse has no opinion on this, this is another business, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, don't worry, there are many professional editors in our company, and we guarantee that we will satisfy you!"

Li Mu is not worried about editing, special effects companies like this generally have professional editors, even worse than those big companies, and many films are not edited by the director himself.

Next, we talked about the price, according to what Li Mu said, the effect should be the best, and money is not a problem.

Everything was negotiated, and a few people came to the special effects department of the film, and the special effects shots in this movie were basically focused on the beginning and the end, with only a few places in the middle that needed to be done with special effects.

After discussing with the special effects artist and editor, it was decided to do the special effects in one go and then cut it slowly, if a blockbuster as complex as "Transformers" often takes a month or two to calculate, first bold the special effects editing to reduce the cost, and then render the overall picture after the editing effect is satisfactory to the director.

Li Mu put all the shots of the reference video and pictures, story version, color draft, atmosphere to do.... It's all for you, and then each shot is very detailed for you. Professional things should still be left to professionals, and if you rush to meddle, it will only be counterproductive.

"Tingfeng, I'll leave this movie to you, I hope you won't let me down!" The two have known each other for so long, so they call each other by their names, and they are not so polite.

"Don't worry, our company has world-class talents and equipment, and we will never let you down, in fact, there is no shortage of film special effects talents in Huaxia, even if it is a world-class film special effects company like Industrial Light and Magic, it recruits a large number of special effects personnel in Huaxia every year, and many films that have won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects are produced by our Chinese people!" said Nicholas Tse.

"We in Huaxia want technology, technology, equipment, and equipment, and how to make things that are so different from foreign countries!" Looking at some of the works made by Nicholas Tse's company before, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Nicholas Tse was also a little helpless, "After all, not everyone is as generous as you, willing to spend 80 million to do special effects, and the highest price of the list we have received before is less than 20 million except for foreign ones, but the cost is not the most important!"

Hearing this, Li Mu was a little puzzled, in his cognition, the main reason why Huaxia blockbusters are made with Wumao special effects is that the producer spends all the money on actors and publicity, and naturally can't make any good special effects scenes without money.

Nicholas Tse saw Li Mu's puzzled expression, and continued to explain, "In fact, what we are most afraid of in our industry is that the layman commands the insider, and many times the director and producer like to let us modify it according to their own preferences...... Change to purple ...... Changed to yellow, changed back and forth, and finally changed it to I don't know what it became. And sometimes we stay up all night according to the other party's requirements to finish the film, and the customer says that the effect is not good, and we need to do it again.........."

After listening to Nicholas Tse's complaints, Li Mu was also a little silent, not only the special effects in the later stage, but even the vast majority of directors in shooting and editing like to do it according to their own preferences, which is commonly known as "private goods".

Very few people will really look at a work from the audience's point of view, which leads to the slightly famous director's style of his works is obvious,

Hollywood, the most developed country for movies, has a complete film industry system, and most directors do not have the final editing rights, and it has nothing to do with him after the film is finished, which also avoids the director from adding his own personal style to the movie.

Throughout the history of Hollywood films, there are almost no box office hits by directors with real distinctive characteristics, even the highest-grossing film "The Departed", which is one of the four major Hollywood directors, has a global box office of only 280 million, and at a production cost of nearly 100 million plus the joining of Xiao Lizi and Matt Dameng, this achievement is obviously unqualified.

On the other hand, those directors who have been box office hits, Spear Bogo, Cameron, Nolan...... In order to better meet the aesthetics of most audiences, after all, different types of movies need different styles.

And like Michael Bay, his own style is also very distinct, but he will only take films that suit his style.

In short, directors should choose different styles according to different film types and audiences, and it is not enough to blindly stick to their own style.

explained the specific requirements to them clearly, and Nicholas Tse also said that the special effects of each scene would be sent to him after they were completed, so that he could decide.

After everything was negotiated, Li Mu was ready to do another important thing, which was no less important than the effect of special effects.

That is the theme song of the movie "Wukong", although the original theme song of memory is not this song, but Li Mu feels that this song can fit the movie perfectly, and if it is done well, there may be unexpected effects!
