In fact, in this era, Hollywood special effects technology is already very mature.

If you talk about the "Back to the Future" trilogy, you can still see the roughness of Hollywood special effects. By the 9o years, starting with Total Memories in 199o. Arnold Schwarsingg's massive camouflage tool was astonishingly dismantled and finally assembled into a tiny piece. This is enough to reflect the uniqueness of the creativity and craftsmanship of the filmmakers. Many years later, some special effects blockbusters are still imitating this technique, such as the magic digital makeup tool of black ** in "Captain America 2".

In addition, at the end of the film, the grand scene of the entire Mars being transformed and the "hideous" face of the protagonist who is also implicated are definitely classics on the big screen.

and then to 1991's "Terminator 2", which can be used to talk about stunt shots, but the T-1ooo Terminator alone is heavy enough. People have almost forgotten that Terminator 2 was one of the first films to make perfect use of cgI technology. In 1993, Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" took CG technology to the extreme, and the realistic dinosaurs left a deep frightening impression on audiences around the world. The special effects of the giant dinosaur also successfully opened the door to Oriental Hollywood, directly raising the box office record of Hong Kong movies from 40 million to 60 million, and this record has been maintained for 20 years.

Then, on Independence Day in 1996, huge alien spaceships swarmed onto the surface of the earth, invariably covering the major cities of various countries, and at the same time launched devastating attacks on their respective targets. The film's special effects caused a worldwide sensation almost the year before, and a blue laser beam was directed at the famous buildings: the White House, which symbolizes the ruling power of the American Republic, the Empire State Building, which represents the economic prosperity of the United States, and the symbolic architectural factors of the countries of the world have been completely destroyed.

The film also depicts in detail the entire process of the White House from being hit to turning into powder. Let fans have a full time of cgI technology to bring visual shock and strong sensory impact to the movie.

and 1997's "Star Troopers" alien Zerg is powerful enough to leave an indelible impression in the hearts of fans.

As the saying goes, "the three armies go first before the grain and grass are moved", there are many places where special effects are used in "The Matrix", so that Chen Tian has to control the whole process. Remembering that there is a sequel to shoot in the future, the best way is to buy a special effects company yourself.

With his current ability, of course, he can't operate a blockbuster movie independently, so the first step is to acquire a special effects company, not a film company.

He is self-aware, although he has a lot of autonomy in the film company. But if he goes it alone, even if his "hacker" is successfully released, it is estimated that he will not be able to make money.

"Hey, boss, you're here. Sorry, I didn't see you just now. ”

When he was interested in visiting, a middle-aged man with a big belly came over to say hello. Chen Tiandu smiled and introduced to Kate, "This is Michael Xinki, who used to work at Sony Graphics and Graphics, and I hired the special effects director. This is Kate, Kate Belcekin, my girlfriend. ”

"Ha, of course I do. Hello, Miss Belsekin. Michael greeted him warmly.

Kate also greeted with a smile, "Nice to meet you, you can call me Kate." ”

Chen Tiandu said: "Michael, let me see your results." ”

"Okay, please come with me."

Later, it was rated as one of the world's four major special effects companies, including Industrial Light & Magic, Digital Field, Weta Digital, and Sony Graphics & Image Operations. The latter two are not very famous now, and the so-called four are not together. Peter Jackson's Weta Digital, known worldwide for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Sony Graphics Operations, for the Spider-Man trilogy, both of which have yet to be released.

Chen Tiandu has reason to believe that under his leadership, Matrix Digital will occupy one of the world's top five special effects companies in the future.

Several people came to several computers, and Michael Singki's computer screen showed a set of 3D miniatures of New York City, and then pressed the play button. The entire city began to blur, changing into countless green numeric characters, and there were green streamers flowing through in the middle.

It was the first time Kate had seen the process of special effects behind the screen, and she felt very novel.

"Digitizing the whole city, it's just a simple cgI synthesis technology, we did some processing, it's not difficult." Michael Singki explained: "The difficulty is that the mechanical spaceship, the mechanical tentacles, and the mechanical squid you asked for are all physical, and I have already inquired with several large steel mills. But it's too expensive, I don't build yì really build so many entities. Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this, it will make the cost of our movie special effects skyrocket. It's not good to develop such extravagant habits in the future. ”

Kate listened to the clouds, what kind of mechanical spaceship, mechanical squid, what are you talking about? Although she was confused, she also made a rational choice to suppress it for the time being, and did not interrupt the topic.

Chen Tiandu pondered: "Nothing else, the Nebuchadnezzar flying ship must be built." I don't need it to have any functions, just add a wheel to run, but the facilities inside, I hope to list all the ones I said, the price is acceptable within 1oo thousand. ”

"Okay." Michael Cinkie shrugged, "We're already working on miniatures for the mechanical squid, and it's enough with computer effects." Boss, do you have any more requests? ”

Chen Tiandu thought for a while and said, "Have you read comic books?" ”

"Of course, Marvel and DC have watched it, and Americans love them." Michael Cinki wondered.

"That's good. I wanted to express a comic-style lens that could present a lot of beautiful images and make time and action stand still. When the bullet flies out, I'm going to get a picture of its trajectory, can you do that? Maybe a lot of very textured slow motion is needed. ”

Michael pondered for a moment, then called a young man named Merkel, who, when he learned of the situation, said, "Maybe we can try to use the method of moving the camera, shooting a target at a very slow degree, and then moving the camera around it at a normal degree." Or...... Tie a small shooter to the camera so that the camera can move very quickly? "He's so nimble that he can think of any wild ideas.

Chen Tiandu said: "Very good idea, you can implement it first." Be safe and contact me when you have the results. ”

After leaving Matrix Digital, Kate finally couldn't help but ask, "I haven't asked you about your plans, but are you going to make a sci-fi movie in your next movie, will it be too fast?" Why take me to a special effects company. ”

Taking advantage of the red light, Chen Tiandu took out a script that had been prepared early and handed it to her, and said solemnly: "Kate, I officially invite you to star in my new film and be my heroine." ”

Kate's face flushed, she coughed dryly, pretended to take the script elegantly, and said with a straight face: "Ahem, I have an agent now, shouldn't the director contact my agent first when he asks me to film." I'm very demanding, and if the role is not good, I won't take it. ”

Chen Tiandu said with confidence: "Don't worry, it is guaranteed to make you cool to the bone, even if people choose the coolest female character on the screen ten years later, you can be ranked at the top." ”

"Really?" Kate patted a thick stack of scripts and saw that the cover read, "Is there any visual evidence?" on the cover. It's a bit hard to read the script. ”

"Hehe, just look at it."

Kate opened the cover suspiciously, and what caught her eye was a hand-drawn PS modeling drawing.

It was none other than herself. Standing on the top of the high church, the black leather cloak is blown one-sidedly by the wind, the delicate short set off the clever eyes, each hand holds a firearm, and a black leather coat is simply extremely windy.

"Wow, honey, you painted this?" Kate was a little fascinated, "Why don't you let me try on this dress, it's enough to take a picture then." You must have had a hard time drawing. ”

Chen Tiandu shrugged, "Your appearance is already deeply ingrained in my mind, and I can draw it without a model." ”

Kate's beautiful eyes glanced at him, her eyes met, and she took the initiative to step over and kiss him.

"Beep-" The sound of the horn behind woke up the couple who were intimate regardless of the occasion, and quickly let go only to see that the red light had already passed, and it was time to face the traffic police if they stopped.

"My dear, Kong Yiji is coming over tomorrow, I happen to have something, can you pick him up for me?"

“ok。” Kate readily agreed, "Why doesn't Kong have an English name yet, follow the local customs, and it's easy to communicate with an English name, my Chinese name is always incorrect." ”

"Ha, then you can help him choose an English name tomorrow."
