Chapter 460: Movie Special Effects
Pure newcomer Li Meng has such an opportunity to act for the first time, and there is no interest transaction, no unspoken rules, it is really not easy, and it is really lucky, compared with her, another newcomer actor Zhao Yihuan has a lot of bad luck, she is a student at Xie Jin Art College of Modu Normal University, Tao is also because she is greedy, the role she plays can be said to be the most irrelevant of the six girls, except for the need to show off sexy, there are no other requirements for the tragic point of the most embarrassing death, and the role may be heavier than Anya (Wang Ziwen), But there are no other possibilities for the second part, Lao Tao thinks that anyone can play it, so he auditioned for the nearest Xie Jin Art Academy and picked out the more photogenic and hot Zhao Yihuan.
The crew of "Art School Girl" has only been open for a few days, and today's filming is Chen Siyu (Li Meng) was frightened by some terrible things, all the roommates gathered around her, and when she woke up, she hallucinated, and when she looked at her hand, it seemed to be a bloody arm.
Here you can see the cleverness of Tao Quduo, originally this place can be done with one arm bone, but he let the hand bone still stick to these flesh and blood, the sense of horror is much stronger.
The actor's salary doesn't cost much, Tao Quduo mainly spends his money on those places that enhance the quality of the film, and the special prop master is also invited from Yinggang, and the guy who does it is very realistic, the blood on the stump seems to be dripping, He Mu played with it, scared Xiao Nan behind him enough, and it was difficult for Li Meng to operate this terrifying thing.
In addition to the excellent and realistic props, this ultra-low-budget film also needs to use some computer special effects, and sometimes the main role of movie special effects instead of real life is to reduce production costs. In Hollywood, a big production that really burns money must be indispensable to the real scene of the big scene, and the royal city in "The Lord of the Rings" is built one-to-one. It's definitely more expensive than CG techniques, but it's better than the real thing.
Because there are not too many special effects that need to be used, and it is also in line with the principle of reducing costs, Shuimu Forest found the Xuantian Special Effects Studio in Shenzhen, and one of the owners of this studio is the boyfriend of He Mu's first assistant, Mi Min. Because of He Mu's relationship, many of the places where tiger and wolf need special effects are handled by this company, and Mizuki has too few works. There was no formal cooperation before, but the opening of the Shuimu Forest was made by Xuantian, and he was very satisfied. This is their first official collaboration.
It can be said that for a small and medium-sized special effects company that is not so outstanding in terms of technology, and it is also formed by Chinese technical personnel, it is very fortunate for Xuantian Studio to have such a long-term fixed partner as Tiger Wolf. It's even an important reason to keep the studio alive. And all this is because of He Mu's opportunity, in order to show his attention, and in order to better show the director's ideas, this time not only Mi Min, who is in charge of contact business, but also Mi Min's boyfriend, Ye Xuan, the general manager of the studio, will come together, and just tonight, He Mu Taoqu will pick up the wind for them.
After getting to know a few girls, Tao Quduo announced that he would shoot here today. Everyone has worked hard, let's go back and rest.
Lin Yuan is familiar with He Mu. jokingly, "The big boss came to visit the class and didn't invite us to have a good meal, you don't know how unpalatable the boxed lunch we usually eat, and Director Tao won't let us eat anything good when he is the most angry." "I'm afraid that only Lin Yuan, who already knows Tao Quduo, dares to accuse him like this, as long as she is obedient and obedient when filming, Director Tao will not say anything, if you lose two sentences, you will lose two sentences, and saving costs is the king.
He Mu smiled, "I will definitely let him improve his food in the future, but tonight I made an appointment with Director Tao to discuss business, and it will not affect me to take you with me." He Mu didn't say it so thoroughly, to put it bluntly, he was afraid that people would think that they were taking the crew and actresses to accompany the dinner and wine or something, and it would not sound good to say it.
"We're not afraid."
"yes, we'd like to see it too."
"We believe that Brother Mu will not buy us."
Some of the six girls were silent, and some were chattering, not caring about He Mu's worries at all, it seemed that they had to rub He Mu's meal, He Mu also felt that it was impossible to say that he didn't invite a meal after visiting the class, anyway, he didn't want to rush back immediately, and time was not very tight for him.
He Mu and Tao Qu exchanged more eyes, Tao Dao smiled, "Okay, then come together, you in the province always say that I am stingy, I invited this meal today, Mr. He is a guest from afar, several of you are little ancestors, there are two guests tonight, plus our own people, more than a dozen people are lively enough." ”
It's really lively enough, six girls want to be invited, Zhang Yueyue and Chang Dabao are also invited, Xiao Nan and Wu Fa Wu Tian beside He Mu definitely can't let them watch it, and after the end, they got a big box and used a super large table to accommodate these people, looking at the huge dining table, Tao Quduo's heart is dripping blood, just now I really shouldn't be full of head and say that I have a treat, He Mu is a well-known foodie, he must pick the expensive one, how much does it cost, alas!
The scenery of Hangzhou is beautiful, and the food is also very distinctive, but this time He Mu's mind is not completely focused on eating, today is the first time He Mu has seen Ye Xuan, who has been friends for a long time, and he used to just hear Mi Min mention that Ye Xuan ran to the south because of the setback in his career in the capital, and then established a Xuantian computer special effects studio headed by him with a few like-minded friends, which has slowly grown to the scale of more than 50 people today, and has been able to cope with the special effects needs of many domestic films.
The special effects of domestic movies have always been sprayed very badly, because there are Hollywood blockbusters stamped there as a benchmark, after watching them and then look at their own movies, there will definitely be fake outrageous feelings, we ourselves are actually aware of this problem, so in recent years, a lot of related majors have been opened in universities, and companies specializing in film computer special effects have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, including Perfect Power, Mars Era, China Film Hualong, Xuantian Studio, a new private Chinese-funded company, as well as Strong Oxygen, Xinda Far East, BaseFX, a Chinese special effects company with a foreign background, and China Film Digital Base have also entered the field, coupled with Crystal Stone and Shangying Special Effects Center, which have been engaged in the research and development and production of computer special effects since the nineties of the last century, Wan Kuan, Xiantao, and other Hong Kong special effects companies that are at the leading level in Asia, these are also known or unknown special effects companies that constitute the special effects pattern of today's Chinese film industry.
Nowadays, China's special effects industry is in a stage of rapid development and integration, and we have introduced many conventional techniques that are being used in Hollywood, and we can do them, but we have not yet developed top-level techniques like "Avatar".
If we really don't care about financial resources, we may not be able to shoot high-quality visual effects like Hollywood blockbusters by relying only on our national special effects team, but this requires a huge financial investment, but limited by market capacity, the production cost of a movie must be limited to a safe range when the box office is not so high, so the investment in special effects has become very limited. Computer special effects, more money has more money, less money has less money, if a few points of effect can be exchanged for the profit of the investor, I believe no one will be unwilling to do it, it is because of this psychology, so the special effects of our movies are always not at a very high level, and even the special effects blockbuster of the level of South Korea's "Han River Monster" has not been born.
The level of special effects is low, technology is only one aspect, capital and the market are more important on the other hand, so there is really no need to blindly criticize China's special effects workers, He Mu believes that they can stick to such a sluggish market, these people are worthy of respect, the future of Chinese films needs them, if it is not for a sincere heart for Chinese films, they are impossible to persevere, this is a group of people with faith, and they can develop well, which shows that they not only have persistence but also excellent skills, It's not just respect, it's admiration.
Ye Xuan is an ordinary-looking young man, in his thirties, flat-headed, bearded, and neatly dressed, it can be seen that he has deliberately dressed up to see He Mu, it may be Mi Min's handiwork, and he himself may not like this kind of too formal dress, he should be a raunchy and informal person, it can be seen from his eyes and demeanor that He Mu has always been very accurate in seeing people.
Sure enough, Ye Xuan was really informal, as soon as he served the wine, he poured himself a glass first, and then raised a glass to He Mu, "Mr. He, I will do this cup first as a respect, you are free." ”
Now that the dishes have not been served, Ye Xuan is a little anxious to drink this wine, and several little girls look at Ye Xuan and don't know what this He Mu's business partner means.
He Mu didn't know what to say, he stopped Ye Xuan, "This toast must have a name, I understand that I will do it with you, I have never been arbitrary." ”
He Mu noticed that Mi Min's face was a little unnatural, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that they seemed to have quarreled when he just received them, He Mu thought it was just a quarrel between the two of them, not a big deal, and he didn't ask about it, after all, it was someone's own business, and now it seems that it is not so simple.
Maybe he didn't explain it first, but drank the wine first, and then poured a full glass, "The name is that I may have to be sorry for Mr. He, the special effects of "Art School Girl" can't be done by our company, I came this time specifically to apologize, I will punish myself three glasses first, I'm very sorry, I will compensate for all the losses caused by the breach of the contract." ”
Mi Min pulled the corner of Ye Xuan's clothes, but still didn't stop him from drinking the second glass of wine.
Ye Xuan's words made the atmosphere in the venue suddenly condense, and the joyful laughter of several little girls came to an abrupt end, and they all became restrained, and even regretted a little that they shouldn't have come here, it seemed that something bad would happen.
Tao is the most different, he has also learned about Xuantian Studio before, this company still has a certain strength, and the cooperation with the tiger wolf before is very good, but what does he Ye Xuan mean today?
