Chapter Seventy-Two: Ahead of the Curve

The part of the first day of the crew, in addition to the location scene and Cai Songge's "cameo" part, there is also the scene where the robber uses the computer to open the safe, and the place where the computer is used is these two scenes.

Duan Yang was also very depressed, he originally wanted to show his skills once, but Chen Yongren only stayed with him for one day, and taught the two actors some simple operations and was done?

"Mr. Chen, just a few shots, what kind of propaganda is it?" Duan Yang complained.

Chen Yongren is also very helpless, Lao Tzu wants a computer, and he can operate it himself, who knew that your company was so big and sent someone over; I want to make those high-end and high-grade movies now, but the key is that your skills can't keep up!

Chen Yongren suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked Duan Yang, "Do you know how to use computer graphics?" ”。

Duan Yang was stunned for a moment and replied, "Of course...... Little Kiss ......".

Chen Yongren smiled: "Do you usually watch movies in the United States?" ”。

Duan Yang nodded, and said with an embarrassed smile: "But ...... Most of them are American movies, and I haven't seen a few Chinese films except for Bruce Lee's! ”。

Chen Yongren smiled nonchalantly: "It's nothing, how much do you know about Star Wars?" ”。

Duan Yang was very excited: "Of course I know, I have a senior who has participated in the production process of "Star Wars", and our company also has cooperative relations with several Hollywood film companies, and the reason why the company sent me is precisely because the film has a promotional effect on our products, Mr. Chen, you are the first Asian filmmaker ......to contact our company directly."

Because Hollywood films now occupy a small share of the film market in Asia, while the influence of Hong Kong films is increasing, IBM attaches great importance to cooperation with Chen Yongren......

Chen Yongren suddenly realized, he was still strange, how could there be a reason to borrow a computer to build a person, and it was not his protagonist's aura that was making trouble for a long time!

Thinking of this, he smiled at Duan Yang and said: "I also attach great importance to the cooperation with your company, and I am also optimistic about the impact of computers on the prospects of the movie, but this drama is fixed, and this time I just want to have preliminary contact with you, and we will often contact ...... in the future."

"Really?" Duan Yang was pleasantly surprised.

Chen Yongren smiled: "Since you know Star Wars, did you know that George Lucas's company has a computer graphics department that specializes in designing electronic editing and special effects systems?" ”。

Duan Yang nodded, and looked at Chen Yongren suspiciously, not understanding what the latter wanted to express.

Chen Yongren saw Duan Yang's doubts, and suddenly asked the latter: "Mr. Duan, are you willing to do things for others all your life?" ”。

Duan Yang was confused for a while, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean?" ”。

What do you mean? Lao Tzu has never heard your name in the future, which means that you are not a person with much achievement, and I am here to promote you today......

Chen continued: "I said that I am very optimistic about the application of computer technology to the film industry, for example, two years ago, Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic invented a 'Source Series' computer processor, and applied it to 'Star Trek: Khan's Wrath', which appeared in the history of cinema for the first fully computer-produced scene; I would like to develop in this area as well, but there are not many talents in this area in Asia right now, so I want to ......."

"Mr. Chen wants to invite me to start a business with you? Great, Mr. Chen, are you really so optimistic about my abilities? ”; Duan Yang shouted excitedly and looked at Chen Yongren expectantly......

Chen Yongren's face darkened, what kind of big thing can you expect to achieve like this? There is no stupidity at all for scientific and technological personnel to study technology, computer technology must have limited ability, and the behavior is out-of-the-box, and it is a chatter, but it is like an insurance seller......

Chen Yongren opened his mouth, and sighed helplessly: "It's okay!" ”。

Duan Yang said excitedly: "I will go back and resign to the company immediately......."

"Wait......" Chen Yongren hurriedly shouted.

"What's wrong?".

"We'll have to wait another two years!".

"Two years?" Duan Yang said in frustration: "Mr. Chen, were you kidding me just now?" ”。

Chen Yongren shook his head and persuaded: "You only have one person who can help me a lot now, the computer graphics department of Industrial Light & Magic is a mature team, do you understand what I mean?" ”。

Duan Yang said thoughtfully: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean ......."

"You stay at IBM, get to know more people who are interested in film, and have a talent in graphic design and image processing, and deal with them. In two years, no matter what your results are, I will fund a studio to study film and computer applications, and you are one of the founders. Chen Yongren said solemnly.

"Mr. Chen asked me to dig into the corner of the company?" Duan Yang exclaimed.

"This is not called digging the foot of the wall, how can this be called ......".

"Mr. Chen, you're so smart, that's a great idea!". Chen Yongren was about to say what he meant a little more sunny, when he heard Duan Yang's excited appearance.

Chen Yongren was pleased: "It's good that you understand! ”。

"But...... Why two years? Duan Yang was puzzled by this, but Chen Yongren did not answer him.

Why two years? Can a few people who know how to get things done? Of course not, you have to find some experienced people to take them; Two years later, Lucas would sell off the "computer animation group" he was not interested in, that is, the future animation great, Pixar Animation Studios. Chen Yongren planned to cut off Hu from Jobs.

Let Duan Yang dig people is also to strengthen the studio, and the most important thing is ...... Chen Yongren is also just starting a business now, and he doesn't have so much money to raise high-tech things.

and Xu Chengyi, Chen Yongren once found the former, spent a few days guiding him, wrote two cartoon scripts and took them to the United States; Xu Chengyi successfully entered Disney as a result, everything is so that the latter can have a good platform to learn movies, accumulate experience, and help himself in the future, I hope he will not forget the promise he made when he left!

Duan Yang is gone, Cai Songge has not appeared since the scene was completed, and the filming of "Die Hard" continues......

The filming progressed to the scene where the robbers appeared and took control of the entire building, and the robber leader played by Xie Xian was looking for the role of Aoki, the president of Zhongfu Group, in a crowd, and Aoki was made a cameo by Zhang Che.

Both of them are people who have been dealing with movies for 30 years, Xie Xian also once founded his own film company and worked as a director for more than ten years, generally speaking, directors are good actors, because they have a deeper understanding of movies, and similarly, they also have a deep understanding of movie roles.

As the saying goes, people are not romantic, but Xie Xian is different, he has been romantic all his life, and he is really a model for male creatures, but although he is cynical, he has clear principles.

Whether a man is amorous or not has nothing to do with his personality, and the relationship between a man and a woman is like the relationship between a flame and a moth; A man can only control the brightness and temperature of the flame, and whether a moth is willing to put out a fire is a moth's business; A slap doesn't make a sound, and it is not the turn of outsiders to mix in wishful thinking.

After Chen Yongren adapted the script, Xie Xian and other villains are the background of the stick, and only these countries can be used in Asia, he doesn't have so much money to invite Western faces to play now, although Hong Kong also has it, but there are only a few faces who come and go, Chen Yongren feels that when these people participate in more Hong Kong films in the future, it will reduce the grade of his movies.

As long as the acting skills are passing, the movie theme of police and bandits is easier to achieve a classic criminal role: Brad Pitt's "Seven Deadly Sins" made Kevin Spacey; Jean Reno's "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" made the bad cop Gary Oldman, and Cheng Yuanlong starred in "New Police Story" made Wen Yanzu.

The audience knows that good will eventually triumph over evil, and because it occupies the moral high ground, it is difficult for the film to make a breakthrough by praising justice positively. All the abstract contests between good and evil and the confrontation of human nature in the images will be turned into concrete confrontations between people, and as long as the evil forces created are bad enough, the justice used to suppress this force will be correspondingly stronger.

Xie Xian was already a popular figure in the Hong Kong film industry at this time, but mainland audiences became familiar with him when they started in Zou Xingchi's "Shaolin Football", in which Xie Xian portrayed the villain role of Qiangxiong, the leader of the devil team, very well.

Aaron Rickman in the original "Die Hard" also portrayed the villain so vividly, and now it is handed over to Xie Xian to play...... There is still a slight difference......

"Click......" Chen Yongren shouted.

"Ah Ren, what's wrong?" Wu Yulin asked; The others also looked over curiously, Zhang Che, Xie Xian, Ling Qingxia and others were all people with outstanding acting skills, and they didn't see anything inappropriate.

Chen Yongren frowned and said, "Something is wrong......."

"What's wrong?" Wu Yu Linqi said.

"There is something wrong with the fourth brother......".

Everyone was confused, Xie Xian also frowned, Zhang Che and Wu Yulin didn't say anything for a long time, and he himself felt that there was nothing inappropriate, and before he could ask, Chen Yongren had already expressed his thoughts......

"There is no problem with the fourth brother's acting skills, but there are some differences in performance styles; The villain I set up is a gentleman like a Western aristocracy, he is very elegant, calm, wise, very peaceful, and he should be ...... It should be **, giving people a sense of horror in the calm; The fourth brother performed the character of this character a little domineering and arrogant! ”。

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, it was the first time they had encountered such a villain. Chen Yongren sighed, now Hong Kong movies, no matter what genre, like the plot to be funny, even if it is a horror film, a lot of drama must be added; I also like that the characters in the movie are simpler, and the villains are either vicious or ...... Foursquare; Why doesn't anyone know that there is a term called "high-IQ crime expert"?

"But ......"; Wu Yulin hesitated: "Such a movie...... Isn't it a little depressing? ”。

Chen Yongren smiled slightly, "Die Hard" originally belonged to the theme of thriller crime; He explained: "We are anti-traditional, so it is very novel, and the movie will come out unexpectedly, how do you say there is an idiom? Surprisingly winning ......".

"Well said......".

Everyone looked over, but it was Zhang Che, who said with a smile: "If everything wants to develop in the long run, it should bring forth the new, and movies are the same, we should not only innovate the shooting method, but also carry out it in an all-round way, and we should pay attention to the ...... in theme exploration, story plot, character building, etc."

Everyone else had their own thoughts, Chen Yongren clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then asked Xie Xian: "Fourth brother, do you have any ideas?" ”。

Xie Xian nodded and smiled: "No problem, now I am an actor, you are a director, what to do should be up to your ......."

Chen Yongren smiled and said to Wu Yulin: "Senior brother, let's start......."
