8:27 p.m....... In HBO's office building, Neil ...... with Editor-in-Chief Isaiah Kanan The cadres of the old Jet faction sat in the company hall, looking nervously at the huge 52-inch LCD screen on the wall. 【Reading.com】

On the coffee table next to it is an IBM laptop, on which the Nielsen ratings research company's real-time ratings curve is displayed.

It is this simple curve that will determine the fate of everyone, and whether they can continue to stay in Warner in the future depends on the trend of this curve.

If you look closely, the current value of each curve is that FOX has a viewing population of 25.37 million, CBS has a viewing population of 16.34 million, and the data of other TV stations ranges from 12 to 5 million, of which the viewing population of paid limited TV has not exceeded 700,000......

HBO is a music program at the moment, and the audience is only 320,000...... Not an opponent at all.

But you know, this is already the top three ratings in pay TV.

In the midst of everyone's nervousness, it has finally ended and started broadcasting various program opening commercials, and it's time to start broadcasting......

This made the hearts of everyone in the hall rise to their throats, none of them had seen the feature film, because at Weta Studios in New Zealand, the finished film had only been passed over this morning.

If there are any bugs and vulnerabilities in it, they can't even deal with it.

At the same time, countless viewers in Scotland were sitting in front of the TV with excitement, and Mrs. Cadilgen was also in front of the fireplace of the castle, looking at the TV screen, her expression was extremely solemn......

Will the fate of the entire Scotland country change because of this series?

Fantasy fans all over the world, the top of the three major North American television networks, and the core leadership of Scotland...... People from different camps are waiting for the start of this series with different hearts.

After the last 2 minutes of waiting, everyone felt that time passed very slowly, and there was a feeling of spending time like a year, stomping their feet, knocking on the table with their fingers, everyone seemed a little irritable.

Finally, the HBO noise header appeared, followed by the first scene.

Under the castle of despair, a heavy and huge wooden door was slowly pulled up, and after three black-clad night watchmen slowly passed through a narrow and dark tunnel with torches, they were greeted by a vast white and incomparably vast world of ice and snow......

If you look closely, this ice and snow world is not a snow-white color, but a snow-covered world with an eerie and even more cold blue background, exuding a biting cold atmosphere.

Under the desperate Great Wall of seven white feet, three black-clad night watchmen, wearing black leather boots, black woolen sweaters, hard leather armor, and a shining black ring armor, looked strong and weather-beaten, but in this shot, they are like three ants, moving forward in the icy and snowy world, with a heavy soundtrack in their ears, mixed with the sound of the eerie north wind howling.

The shadows of the trees in the Ghost Shadow Forest are like hideous creatures, so that everyone sitting in front of the TV can't help but shudder, and they all feel that they have entered a mysterious and vast world.

And at the same time, it seems to be under the surveillance of an inexplicable creature who is cold and has no affection for him.

Just the previous shot made the anxious hearts of the people in front of the TV quickly quiet down.

Allen, who was in the hospital, unconsciously leaned closer to the TV, revealing a focused demeanor.

This series of shots, without even saying a single line, just the pictures and the expressions of the characters, have already rendered the atmosphere extremely brilliant, making this strange and mysterious world open the door in front of the viewer.

The three night watchmen on the screen found a series of terrifying corpses, and the stiff face of the little girl hanging from the book with blank eyes was even more terrifying in this cold and biting atmosphere.

The extinguished fires on the ground, wooden sticks, luggage, and food show that these corpses have been attacked, and this simple shot gives people an extremely real sense of horror.

Allen, as Warner's ace producer, certainly knows why Gu Xiaofan can render the atmosphere so well.

Because the details ...... Even the details of the corpses that were props had been carved into every possible way, the cracks in their fur, the prey on their belts, the rusty machetes in two, and the terrified body language.

Each picture can be used as a poster, and the accumulation of completely real details makes the whole environment exactly as in the real world.

These small details are stacked to create that sense of immersion, which is very subtle, and the audience may not necessarily see it, but it can be perceived instinctively.

On the other side, on the News Corp side, Edward and Lily were also watching on the TV, and Lily asked Edward with a strange expression: "Edward, did you just see those corpses?" They seem to have three layers of clothing, and there should be 7 or 8 kinds of item details for each person...... This guy is too hard-working. ”

"It's an average of 13 props......" Edward's eyes showed a look of great appreciation, and he said softly: "Even the corpse that only shows one shot has the level of the protagonist's prop production, which is really breathtaking." ”

In the eyes of the layman, most of the fantasy themes are monsters made by computer special effects, with gorgeous sound and shadow to render the atmosphere, and several protagonists are superb to make the virtual world of the novel real.

In fact, this is very wrong, and the real sense of realism comes from the integrity of the whole world on the screen.

Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, no matter how many scenes there are, the characters who appear in the series are part of this world, and everyone's props and costumes, and the scenes of each shot, are convincing the audience and telling them the reality of this world.

For example, any small supporting role, any small scene pulled out, can really convince people that he is the characters and things in that fantasy world.

This overall consistency is the key to the realism of the virtual world!

To do this, you have to spend a lot of time and effort creating every detail.

No one questioned HBO's production prowess, but it was unimaginable that it could be made so meticulously in just over a month.

Industry insiders such as Edward, Lily, and Allen in front of the TV all have the same question in their hearts, what kind of magic does Gu Xiaofan have, and how can he do it in such a short time? Big Star System
