The post-production of "Afterimage of Death" is more troublesome.

Because it is a live-action movie, the later stage of this film is very different from "The Witch's Journey", and most of the special effects are somewhat illusory. But it's not a particularly illusory movie, as a psychological horror film, it needs a lot of special effects, but it's not a fantasy special effect.

In the movie, there is no paranormal phenomenon in the background of the story itself. Therefore, the unnatural influences are actually due to the hallucinations of the characters, or the suspicion of dark ghosts. This requires the special effects to appear both realistic and unreal.

This contradictory request stumped the new art engineers.

This type of special effects requires a lot of imagination, and how to combine the real image with the visual afterimage is also a problem.

After thinking about it for a long time, the artists could only consider using a few more image flashes.

It's so tiring, it's better to really come to a fantasy blockbuster.

After the filming of "Afterimage of Death" was completed, Xingze conducted a test screening inside, and the effect can be said to be quite outstanding. Although Lin Zewen also watched it from beginning to end and from end to end several times during the post-editing, to be honest...... The table xiàn of the large screen is different.

In particular, the technique of life-size form and one-way lens was used at this time.

However, after watching it, Xingze still had a small meeting and discussed and discussed the way the movie was filmed. Du Sitong said: "The movie is really interesting, and it works very well with stereoscopic technology. But the full-length footage is still a bit unsuitable for viewing...... The first few rows are fine, but the back ones look a little blurry in terms of expressions and subtle movements. Live-action movies are different from animations, and we can still make the heroine fly all over the field of vision. ”

Tan Yuan nodded: "Originally, our plan was to use a flat screen to add close-ups, but "Afterimage of Death" uses too many places on the edge screen, and it is difficult to move the right time. Even if it could, it would be a bit of a tie-down - it should be like any other way to expand the form of the table. ”

……

After everyone said their thoughts, Tan Yuan took a little note of the opinions of all parties with his hand, and planned to use it as the direction for the next meeting and technical adjustments.

Then Lin Shu talked about the non-technical level: "Although we haven't released it yet, the basic internal rules still have to be set." Although there are no bloody and violent scenes in the afterimage of death, it is also a horror movie. When selling tickets, please note that minors are assigned to the back seats, and children under the age of 12 are not allowed to enter. ”

Zheng Fangcheng responded one by one. Lin Shu said again: "Heart disease is also the case. The note is printed clearly and added on the poster. ”

Zheng Fangcheng continued to respond.

After a while, it was time for "Afterimage of Death" to continue to be released.

In fact, in terms of content, this story cannot be regarded as a horror film, but an ordinary drama film with revenge and punishment as the core, taking a completely traditional route, but wrapping a shell of a horror film.

The protagonist in this film is the setting of the boss behind the scenes, and there are many in various games, but there are not too many in TV series or movies. The setting that the boss behind the scenes is on the righteous side is even rarer. Lin Zewen grasped the plot well, although the two sisters pretended to be ghosts, every time they killed someone, they were counter-killing, which is the so-called "legitimate defense", at least to ensure that the government was correct.

The afterimage of death is actually not a literary film, but a typical commercial film. From the beginning of the film, the beautiful heroine, the home suspected of being controlled by the stepmother, the depressed sisters, and the sister who died at the beginning and seemed to have turned into a ghost.

Its structure follows a typical three-act structure from the beginning, and the story is also a happy ending that commercial films love. If anything, the final victory did not come from good luck, but from the wisdom and courage of the two sisters...... This is probably the only thing in the whole story that is not so "traditional".

In the movie, the two sisters are both high-IQ settings, the younger sister is a pharmacist, and the older sister is a movie prop master, and they also have their own abilities. Du Sitong then said with a smile: "I can see it, this story tells us that people have a skill, and the success rate of pit people is high." ”

This is not a story of the triumph of good over evil, it is a story of wisdom triumphing over evil.

After the official release of the movie, many people started to buy tickets only out of novelty - after all, "The Witch's Journey" has been showing for a while, and not everyone is interested in animated films.

The poster on the movie is a bust of the heroine and sister played by Tang Mengzhu, and the two are sideways and facing each other across the title. The sister on the left is black and white, with empty eyes and an expressionless face; The sister on the right has a rich expression, and her expression is like fear and sadness, which is difficult to guess.

Coupled with the deep gradient background color, it looks very flavorful and easy to convey to the audience the general style of the story.

Although many viewers come to watch stereoscopic movies just to see something new, they will not refuse to have more choices or more interesting stories.

Thrillers are a genre that can easily attract crowds, so soon many audiences began to walk into the screening hall to know what a three-dimensional movie thriller can look like.

And the facts did not disappoint them.

The light setting of the three-dimensional cinema is far richer than that of the flat cinema, and its surface xiàn form is also different. In traditional films, the light is integrated with the picture from the beginning, but the light of stereoscopic projection is rendered separately. This makes the light of the picture particularly natural and realistic, and it is also particularly rendering.

When everyone entered the screening room, they thought it was an ordinary thriller at first, but soon as time passed, everyone was fascinated by the story. The feeling of a ghost on the screen is very different from a ghost on the other side of the glass wall a few meters away.

When the heroine looked in the mirror, and a face with a twisted smile was reflected in the mirror, screams suddenly rang out in the theater, and the people who could bear it were also shocked.

Even if it's a man, there are always times when he can't help but throw himself into the arms of his girlfriend (or boyfriend). In the stereoscopic screening hall on the day of the broadcast of "Afterimage of Death", there was a strange scene - it was obviously full, but there was often no one in the first row, as if it had been gnawed by something.

And there were a bunch of people who bought tickets, but they didn't want to watch from their own positions at all, preferring to run to the back and stand and watch.

This scene was ridiculed by the reporter and was even published in the newspaper.

Soon after the film was released, although not many people had seen it and there were geographical restrictions, it was quickly praised by many parties. A girl said with satisfaction that this is the aura that a thriller movie should have, and when she watched it, her heart was puffed up the whole time, and it couldn't be better.

However, some people said that the movie was well made, and the only drawback was that it was not thrilling enough. It's not so much a thriller as a feature film with thriller elements.

Although the evaluation is so polarized, most people still agree that it is a good film, and there are many reviews on the Internet. Stereo cinema is still a novelty, and for various reasons, there are strong geographical restrictions. This leads to many people who have watched it, and they have the opportunity to proudly show off their movie-watching experience on the Internet.

There are many people who say that they have decided to brush it again.

This evaluation inevitably makes many people mistakenly think that "Afterimage of Death" is really not very scary, and it is an excellent feature film. As a result, many men and women with advantageous geographical conditions took advantage of their free time to book tickets for new films, planning to go to see them when they had time. Because of such reviews, the theater was soon full, and the number of "The Witch's Journey" was also squeezed strictly, and it was soon occupied by new films.

The screening room is almost a sold-out sold-out.

And there is no way for this film to be stolen and recorded, and there is no relevant source at night.

This is also very natural, at present, even the home projection crystal is not popular, and the display of stereoscopic movies and flat films is completely different, even if someone steals the record, unless it reshoots the stereoscopic film again, clips out a flat version, otherwise because of the difference in viewing methods, the pirated film can not even be watched at all.

Because of this craze, the popularity of stereoscopic movies gradually began to spread, and many people complained on the Internet that there was no corresponding screening hall in their city, which was very inconvenient.

The good reviews of "The Witch's Journey" and "Afterimage of Death" also spread. A well-known comment account on the Internet also wrote a review of the two stereoscopic films, saying: "The new stereoscopic movies still have many shortcomings, but they also have advantages that traditional flat films cannot compare. Xingze's current two films, one is animation and the other is a thriller feature film, both of which make good use of the advantages of the playback equipment, but they are not just popular by virtue of such advantages. ”

"These two films, although they borrow the momentum of new technology, are themselves phenomenal films that cannot be underestimated. Some people may think that my 'phenomenal' is too exaggerated, because the number of people who have seen these two films is still relatively small. But if someone goes to Yanjing or Binhai Commercial Street now, they will find that the small black cloak has become a fashion. "Afterimage of Death" has only been released for a short time, but I can fully predict that in the next two years, the number of people who apply for the pharmacist exam or want to learn special makeup will increase by a few percentage points. ”

"To get back to the point, the story of "The Witch" is smooth, the characters are vivid, and its core idea is a little deeper than ordinary commercial films, but it is much easier to understand than too many literary films. "Afterimage of Death" has an outstanding atmosphere and clever details, but it is not obsessed with the thriller atmosphere itself, but tells the grievances and hatreds of a wealthy family very measuredly, and creates several protagonists and supporting characters with their own contradictions. The directors of these two films are very good at constructing male gods and goddess-level characters, such as "The Witch" and "Death". ”

"In the same movie, some stories are made with hateful protagonists, and some are cute. When Shan Lan was making "The Witch", and Lin Zewen was filming "Death", they undoubtedly built cute characters. The characters of these two films have a common characteristic, that is, they like to face difficulties in the face of crises and have an extremely optimistic spirit. ”

"'Never give up'...... It is a spirit of life that many movies like to instill in the audience. We have too many classic lines to illustrate this spirit. In "The Witch" and "Death", similar lines are not used to try to convince the audience, but it does always show in every action of the characters. ”

"In "The Witch's Journey", the mountain city collapses, and the heroine leads everyone to dig up the survivors, and in the process of excavation, she is persuaded to 'give up' three times, the first time is when everyone's physical and magical energy is exhausted, implying that the depletion of ability hinders people's progress. The heroine ignores the persuasion, showing that she is not hindered by the limitations of the flesh. The second time was when the moon climbed into the twilight sky, and the second female persuaded her that 'it was already dark and no one could live anymore', representing the drying up of hope that stopped the progress. The heroine stood up, swallowed bread and water, and continued to dig, representing that the temporary rest gave her the courage to move forward again. The third time is the male owner's abandonment.,Say'Time is passing.,If you delay any longer, you'll encounter the Wizard King's troops.',The female owner kicked him to set a trap.,Chose to fight between battle and escape.。 We have an old saying that there are only three things, and in the movie, after three failures, the heroine dug up the dying little dragon from the ruins, which went the opposite way, greatly strengthened the shaping of her character. ”

"There are many other similar episodes."

"In contrast, there is not much in Afterimage of Death that deliberately expresses the optimism of the characters, instead of calmness and wisdom, but it is another form of 'never give up' spirit. In the hospital ward, knowing that once she started to save her father, it would be easy to show her flaws, but the 'sister' still did it, and then she disguised the ward as a demon, calm, bold, intelligent, decisive, and kind...... It is inevitable that people will be respected. ”

“……”

Comments and reprints like this appeared on the Internet one after another, which quickly activated everyone's curiosity about these two films. At this time, the restriction of fewer screening rooms came out, and many people couldn't find a place to show if they wanted to see it.

But there are more and more discussions. Xingze actually has no plans to build a physical screening hall this year, because the funds required to build a cinema chain are too large, and Xingze itself has decided to focus on technology research and development and network platforms.

Then at this time, the Star Rail side received a special intention to cooperate.
