Chapter 129: The Late Stage of "The Wizard of Wonder".
The project "The Wizard of Wonderland" is both big and small. It is said that it is big because there are many models to be prepared, there are many terrains, and there are many scenes. It's small because the technology it uses is not a cumbersome CG production method, but uses a technology that is only slightly more advanced than "Takeshi Dream".
The technology used in "Dream of Martial Arts" was the technology around 05, and many mature foreign technologies had not been passed down at that time.
Anthony brought a lot of advanced technology, but it was simply not available in the country, one was the lack of equipment and software, and the other was the lack of talent to use these technologies.
In recent years, Anthony has helped Manying cultivate talents, so that Manying has relatively advanced technology and talents in China. After the operation of the "League of Legends" animation, the animation production level of Manying is constantly improving.
The first batch of employees is now technologically mature, and Liu Shuo has to let them go out to study every year, spending a lot of money, just to let them master the world's advanced technology.
Although Liu Shuo believes in the production ability of Manying, he still sits in person to prevent mistakes. The reason why this is so is because in terms of adaptation, many people are prone to brain pumping!
What is brain pumping? That is, when adapting, there will always be a plot that makes people complain, which is completely contrary to the original work. It's like in the "World of Warcraft" movie, Garona was originally Medivan's woman, but she turned out to be Lothar's woman, which made players complain, is this cuckolding Medivan or cuckolding Lothar?
You must know that the sons of Garona and Medivan are the guardians of the next generation, are the screenwriters ready to strangle Madan?
The same is true for domestic adaptations, many film and television dramas will inexplicably appear a lot of characters that shouldn't appear, and many important characters will disappear.
Although Liu Shuo is sure that the Comic Film Company does not dare to move the plot of "The Wizard of Wonderland", he is still afraid that they will make the wrong special effects, after all, there is Anthony, an old foreigner who does not understand Chinese culture, and it is normal for some things to be inconsistent.
If it is "Sword Immortal", you can still accept some things that violate the harmony, after all, Chen Han in "Sword Immortal" is a traverser, and there is a past that can be said to be contrary to harmony.
But "The Wizard of Wonderland" is a relatively pure Xianxia comic, or something that Energizer avoids disobedience.
The plot of the first part of "The Wizard of Wonderland" is that by the time Yue Fei was killed, the big scene was several large-scale battles. The largest was the time of the Qin King with hundreds of thousands of troops, followed by several battles of Yue Fei's Northern Expedition.
Some minor battles are briefly described in the animation.,If you get all these battles right.,The first part won't be able to get down without three hours.。
Animated movies are about two hours at most, and the best duration is 90 minutes. This is in the interest of the theater, because the shorter the duration, the more screenings and the more tickets will be bought.
However, the duration of "The Wizard of Wonderland" has not decreased, reaching 130 minutes. The reason why it is so long is because of Liu Shuo's insistence, he will not shorten the time because he buys more tickets!
The story of "The Great Wall" is still good, and it is no problem to make a trilogy, but for the sake of the length of the whole film, many things are not clearly explained. The commander played by Zhang Hanyu died too hastily, and the five-color army didn't show much, just like the playhouse, condensed and condensed an epic blockbuster comparable to "The Hobbit", condensed and condensed, condensed the fighting, condensed the wits of man and beast, and condensed the rhythm, and finally condensed the originally good film into a piece of.
is such a bad movie, it can still have a good box office, if it really makes an epic blockbuster, can the box office be worse? Even if it can't catch up with "Mermaid", it should be similar to "Monster Hunt"!
Of course, there are still problems with the casting of "The Great Wall", Da Tiantian, Zheng Kai and the emperor in the TF are somewhat out of harmony, but Comrade Xiaolu's coward plays well.
The plot is also a bit silly, and it is completely out of line with history. When they arrived in the Song Dynasty, they still didn't know what a magnet was? I don't know if there was a compass in the four great inventions? The compass was made of magnets.
digressed, Liu Shuo was also afraid that his work would be a mess, so in order to redo it in the future, he still came over and stared at it himself.
"The special effects in these places must be elegant, especially the plot of the sword immortal Chen Han and the Heavenly Palace, which must have the feeling of a fairy. Liu Shuo put forward his own requirements to the production staff, "It's okay to have a little sense of technology, but not too much." Although the Emperor Zhenwu is a prehistoric human, their technology is closer to magic. ”
"That's right! Get more clouds and mist to make the feeling of a fairy mountain. ”
"Mr. Liu, there is a problem on our side!" Li Chi came over and said to Liu Shuo.
"What's wrong?" Liu Shuo asked suspiciously.
"That's right. Li Chi led Liu Shuo to the side, ""The Wizard of Wonderland" requires the use of a lot of new technology, Anthony said that not long ago, Hollywood just completed a particle technology, which is just suitable for our Tiangong special effects. However, we need to spend a lot of money to import equipment from the United States. ”
"How much is it? Is the U.S. allowed to export?" Liu Shuo did not ask if he could not buy it or if there was any other solution, but directly asked how much it was, indicating that he had decided to buy it.
"At least fifteen million dollars!" Li Chi said, "This device was created by Cameron's digital domain, and it is a world leader in particle effects." ”
Liu Shuo wondered, since it is in the leading position in the world, why would the digital field be sold? You must know that the digital field is only a special effects company, not an equipment production company.
"Are you sure the digital realm will sell?"
"In fact, since the digital field was sold to Michael Bay in 06, it has been beyond its means, and they still have spare equipment for this kind of equipment, so they naturally have to take it out for money. And they don't have to worry about being led by others, the equipment they want to buy is only a modified version of the original machine, and it can only render particles of the environment, and the characters are much worse. ”
Liu Shuo thought about it solemnly, this is a castrated version! But even if it is a castrated version, you have to buy it.
"Then I have some spare money in the United States, so I can buy it with that money!"
"Okay, I'll get in touch with Jiang Long. ”
"Okay!" Liu Shuo was just about to wave his hand to let Li Chi get busy, but suddenly thought of something, "By the way, let Jiang Long investigate again, how much is the digital domain worth?"
Li Chi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Liu, you don't want to acquire the digital field, do you?"
"Can't you?" asked Liu Shuo rhetorically.
