Chapter 686: A Robot Killer in Human Skin!
The album has been recorded, and it will be some time before it goes on sale.
Even the Grandmaster's new album needs to be promoted.
In these years, in this society, if you want a product to have a good sales figure, publicity is essential.
In these years, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!
Since the acquisition of Time Warner as a whole, it has become the world's largest integrated media and infotainment group.
Originally, Warner Records, a subsidiary of Time Warner, was one of the world's three major record companies, and now coupled with the huge Ethereal audio and video chain, Warner Records' publicity and distribution capacity is now definitely ranked first in the world.
Now this huge big guy is in full swing, and in a very short time, fans around the world can know that the new album of the Grandmaster is about to be released!
Of course, there is no need for the grandmaster to worry about these tasks, he has now rushed to the Eastern Capital, and before the preparations are completely complete, he has begun to take the film crew to pick up some scenic spots in the Eastern Capital.
Because "Terminator" requires a lot of computer special effects, the Grandmaster brought two staff members from Rainstorm Electronics with him. The job of the two of them was to produce computer special effects for some of the shots that were shot in advance.
These two are Zongyi's classmates, one is named Li Tao and the other is Guo Lei, who is the core technician of the special technical department of the rainstorm electronic computer special effects department.
In his previous life, when Cameron filmed "The Terminator", the computer special effects were just starting, and the computer special effects master Winston at that time did not have such excellent computer hardware as he is now, so the special effects of the "Terminator" filmed in that era were really miserable.
Since he wants to open up the world of computer visual effects in this world, the Grandmaster naturally will not use the shooting techniques of Cameron and Winston in his previous lives, and he has decided to use mature computer special effects methods to create all the special effects shots of this movie.
Like the simplest special effects shot in the previous life, that is, the shot where the Terminator broke the door glass of the car with his fist when he first came to this world to steal the car, when James and Winston were shooting this scene, they placed a small hydraulic device on Arnold's arm and blocked it with wide sleeves, and finally smashed the door glass open with that hydraulic device.
Although this detail is well demonstrated, if you look closely, you can still see it. At least the moment Arnold smashed the glass, the sleeve of his right arm was obviously too wide......
There was no way, there were no computer special effects at that time, so I could only shoot with this backward means. If in the later generations when the computer special effects technology matured, as long as the fingers were knocked and a few pieces of code were written, then a realistic special effects shot would be made.
and when Arnold injured his left eye due to a car crash and then did his own surgery in a rental house, that fake face was also miserable.
In addition, when the tanker truck exploded at the end of the movie, the tanker truck looked like it was made from a model.
The most tragic thing is naturally the shot of the robot when it is walking, the kind of appearance of a card, which is even more zombie than a zombie movie on Hong Kong Island......
This kind of low-level special effects means, the grandmaster naturally will not let them appear in his own movies, in the movies he shoots, as long as there are special effects shots, they will all be produced by computers.
In the words of the grandmaster, it is necessary to make special effects shots that are so real that people can never tell whether they are really shot or made with special effects.
For the people of this world, they have never seen the power of computer special effects, and the grandmaster believes that once this kind of special effects lens is pushed to the big screen, it will definitely make fans all over the world explode!
That's what the Grandmaster wants!
Li Tao and Guo Lei came over to do this kind of work.
The grandmaster led them to shoot a lot of scenes, and then handed them back to do special effects, and finally edited the finished special effects.
Making special effects shots in advance can effectively avoid making the post-production work more heavy.
Two movies will be released next year, and the Grandmaster will make two films within a year, especially the second "Independence Day" is a special effects blockbuster, and there are more shots using computer special effects, so only by making special effects shots in advance can we avoid the situation that the final film cannot be completed on time.
Of course, in order to highlight the shocking nature of this movie, the Grandmaster also added some special effects shots.
For example, on the day of Judgment Day, special effects footage of nuclear bombs exploding in major cities around the world.
When it comes to the most shocking special effects shots, the shots of the nuclear bomb explosion can definitely be ranked at the top.
The moment the mushroom cloud rises, the shock is absolutely unparalleled.
These special effects shots need to be created by computer and finally edited into the finished film.
This time for the filming of "The Terminator", the Grandmaster would not have used traditional film for shooting. The digital shooting technology in this world is even more advanced than in previous lives, and it is difficult for this kind of film to win the favor of the Oscar judges, so the grandmaster decided to shoot with extremely low-cost digital shooting technology.
Although "Forrest Gump" was a global box office hit, the cost of distribution also made the grandmaster really distressed. Not to mention the publicity, the cost of film copy alone is as high as more than 200 million yuan!
This is definitely a very scary number, you know, the cost of more than 200 million yuan for film copies is more than the total box office of most movies!
And the same number of digital copies can be done with only a few million Chinese dollars!
So this time, the grandmaster said that he would not do anything wrong, and use a digital camera to shoot, and use a digital copy when it is released, so that he can save at least 100 million yuan in costs.
The time soon came to the end of September, all the preparations were done, Li Tao and Guo Lei returned to Tiandu with relevant video materials to start making special effects shots, and here in the eastern capital, the grandmaster led the whole crew to start shooting.
The filming process was a bit unsatisfactory at first, mainly due to King Kong.
After all, he had never had any experience in making movies before, nor did he have any experience, so although King Kong worked hard, his state still affected the entire filming process.
However, for this, the grandmaster has long been mentally prepared, he constantly adjusted the shooting plan, left enough time for King Kong to adjust his mentality, and continued to give King Kong a play, which took more than ten days, and then slowly adjusted King Kong to a good state.
In fact, King Kong plays the Terminator, the requirements are really not high, he just needs to perform in his true colors.
But after all, he doesn't have any experience, his positioning, body movements and everything are very poor, and he often looks at the camera involuntarily...... So even if he is allowed to perform in his true colors, he still often makes some low-level mistakes, and it is these low-level mistakes that delay the most.
After the training of the grandmaster, King Kong finally got better.
Even the grandmaster himself praised his vision, King Kong, who has entered the state, is even stronger than Arnold in his previous life when he plays the Devil Terminator. This guy's ruthlessness comes from the bones, and after exercising his sharp eyes, this is a robot killer in human skin!
