Screening room.

The screen began to show the footage of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

Lin Qingxia's elegant light work!

The light work pictures that have been shot into movie shots are naturally more realistic than Donnie Yen and Lin Zhengying hanging wire ropes.

Because, after all, watching the actors' performances on the set, angles, and shots may not be the best. But after it was filmed, the footage that was retained was undoubtedly very good!

These shots, even if they have not been edited in post-production, have already shown a very beautiful viewing surname!

In the mountain temple, the door was smashed into pieces and shot like a series of throwing knives.

A refreshing martial arts charm picture.

In the eyes of these filmmakers of Industrial Light & Magic.

Richard. Taylor exclaimed, "Oh my God, an action movie can be shot so well!" ”

"The people in the movie, the flight looks so realistic, how did you achieve it?"

"No, Hong Kong's film industry has mastered such cutting-edge technology, and it can actually make actors fly in the air without flaws!"

Many Americans asked one after another.

To put it bluntly, it's just a wonderful use of wire rope!

In the 60s, when the Hong Kong film industry was just emerging, martial arts films were just emerging, and the wire rope was a major prop.

Although any film company in Hong Kong is no stranger to hanging wire ropes to make special effects, Hollywood still doesn't like wire ropes very much at this time.

Later, it was Jackie Chan, Yuan Heping and other Chinese filmmakers who brought the prop of wire rope to Hollywood, and it was accepted by Hollywood.

It can be said that at this time, the crew of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has been superbly skilled in the use of wire ropes and has reached the world's first level.

Zhang Shaojie and Tsui Hark looked at each other and smiled.

A wire rope has made the arrogance of this group of American special effects technicians all disappear!

Of course, in this movie, it's not just about hanging wire ropes.

The movie "Datang" gathers a group of the most talented filmmakers in Hong Kong in the 80s ~ 90s, whether it is the use of lenses, or the modeling, makeup, and martial arts actions of the characters, they are all extremely outstanding.

Every actor, when filming this movie, when it is strict, a shot may have to be shot forty or fifty times!

It is this pursuit of excellence for the quality of the film that makes this film, even if it has not undergone the final post-editing, its picture is very enjoyable.

Computer CG special effects are designed to create incredible images that make the audience feel enjoyable.

Hong Kong's martial arts films are designed to hang wire ropes and martial arts movements, isn't it to please the audience?

"You already have these advanced special effects, why do you want us to use ILM?" Richard. Taylor said a little distracted.

Zhang Shaojie explained: "Although we also have some unique skills, it doesn't mean that we don't need special effects of industrial light and magic! Because, we are not too satisfied with the effect of some lenses, and we must use computer CG to further beautify! ”

"Still not satisfied?" Richard. Taylor was shocked.

Shocked by the new vision just now, the industrial light and magic technicians still kept recalling Lin Qingxia's flight movements in their minds.

This kind of shock has always made them fall into the awe of the Hong Kong film industry - no wonder Hollywood can't compete with Hong Kong films in Asia, it turns out that the Hong Kong film industry also has a technical level that is not inferior to Hollywood!

It is precisely because of the visual impact brought to them by some scenes in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" that the seeds of extreme admiration for Hong Kong movies were planted in their hearts

―――――――――――――― Jiahe's factory, he made some film copies of the lens of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

A few shots of Lin Qingxia, as well as the battle between Lin Zhengying and Donnie Yen -- these films were brought to the headquarters of Baolong by the technicians of Industrial Light and Magic, and they needed to convert the copies of the film into digital programs that could be stored in the computer. After that, find a way to compose CG effects on these shots on the computer!

In the 21st century, special effects production has become simple, and there are tons of CG special effects software on the market. If you have a talented master, you can even read some special effects synthesis books, self-teach, use some software, and synthesize some computer CG special effects shots for videos at home.

For example, after the "Transformers" movie was broadcast in China, some otaku made their own "Chinese version of Transformers" video on the Internet, and at first glance the picture was indeed a bit blockbuster. However, after watching it for a few seconds at most, you will realize that the director of the video is still far from enough to control the special effects shots.

The current technical means of industrial light and magic are far inferior to those of otaku in the 21st century. However, what is valuable is the spirit of exploration of these people!

There are no computer CG effects in the world, but these people are paranoid that computer technology can do wonders. Therefore, computer special effects technology, under their accumulation bit by bit, computer CG special effects technology is becoming more and more advanced and more and more incredible.

"Zhang!" An American pointed to the screen and said, "Look, the ice cube shape designed now is better than a few days ago?" ”

Zhang Shaojie looked at the computer screen.

I saw irregular, sharp blocks of ice, under the programmer's keyboard, floating in the air, spinning and flying, like a few bats with the surname of a spirit

"Yes! There has been some progress, but I think it's still the strength of the Xuanbing, it should be some finer broken ice, rolling like a pale blue sand storm, and like a swarm of stinging bees, once you find a flaw in the enemy, you will attack it in groups! Zhang Shaojie commented, in fact, he was very shocked in his heart.

Although these CG special effects still look very rudimentary, far inferior to the Hollywood blockbusters of the 90s, it is terrifying to visit them almost every other day, their technology is improving!

"Yes, I agree with you! But that's just the beginning, and we're working hard to get you what you want! "Instead of getting frustrated, the technicians are full of challenge!

"Good! In the later special effects production, you mainly have to discuss with Tsui Hark, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong, and Zhang Shuping. Their vision represents the aesthetic vision of Hong Kong's most talented filmmakers, and if you can satisfy them, basically, I will be very satisfied! ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "Come on, boys! You will do wonders in the coming months! This is the first film to use CG special effects, and your achievements will not only be remembered in the history of Hong Kong cinema, but also in Hollywood and the world! ”

Richard. Taylor and others were very excited when they heard Zhang Shaojie's encouragement!

Everyone knows that the film industry is actually extremely important about reputation and fame! If their special effects are poorly made, they will be reduced to a laughing stock as the film is released.

If the computer CG special effects are made into classics, then their names will also resound throughout the film industry with the playback of the movie!

The world's first film based entirely on computer special effects and animation special effects!

The already classic pictures in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" will be more classic by their special effects!

The eyes of the people of Industrial Light and Magic have a flame-like luster!

"In about a week, the U.S. headquarters will send more people to Hong Kong. At that time, I promised to do even better! "Richard. Taylor patted his chest and reassured.

Zhang Shaojie smiled, the attitude of the industrial light and magic crowd was very satisfied! This was the early 80s, when computer special effects were not very famous in the world, and if you wait until the late 90s, or the beginning of the 21st century, when computer CG special effects became a globally recognized cutting-edge film technology. Hollywood's special effects studios are very perfunctory for companies outside the United States, giving high-priced, low-quality special effects services.

Later, Chinese directors had no choice but to seek technical support from the United States for special effects because they did not have a satisfactory film special effects studio in their own country.

Because Chinese directors themselves use CG special effects too rarely, there is no clear concept of where CG special effects are needed and how to control them.

Sometimes, special effects for the sake of special effects make a worse movie than if you didn't use special effects lenses!

How to control the special effects lens - that is to constantly burn money for special effects! If you use special effects lenses more times, you will naturally be able to practice and use them freely.

In order not to lose at the starting point! Zhang Shaojie hired three talents with expertise in computer technology and art, film and other aspects in the Hong Kong talent market, and arranged them into the special effects team of Industrial Light & Magic in the name of translation.

Zhang Shaojie's "translation" orders for those are to read more and learn more, and in the past few months, we must integrate into the team of Industrial Light & Magic, and continue to learn the technology and ideas of Industrial Light & Magic!

"Translation" is actually a good way to steal teachers.

For example, the legendary Portuguese football coach "Jose. Jose Mourinho", it was through serving as an interpreter for England coach Robson that he learned the professional skills that a football coach should master. Later, the translator became one of the most sought-after football coaches in Europe.

The reason why the translator was arranged to steal the teacher.

This is because Zhang Shaojie is "a red star, ready with both hands"! If you can dig up these technical talents of Industrial Light & Magic, then it is naturally the best.

If you can't find the talents of Industrial Light & Magic, then you can only use the "translators" to set up a special effects studio in Hong Kong and develop their own computer CG special effects technology.

In fact, Zhang Shaojie is not only staring at industrial light and magic, but even plans to acquire some computer game companies to achieve the effect of "stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade"!

It is important to know that computer special effects are essentially a product of the advancement of computer technology.

Later, some games in Europe and the United States that are famous for their game graphics, such as "The Elder Scrolls", the visual effects of their game CG pictures are comparable to Hollywood special effects blockbusters!
