Not only him, many people in the crew were crying, Lan Xin also grabbed Li Xiaole's hand, crying loudly like a child, grabbing him and refusing to let go......
As the soundtrack of the curtain sounds, the images on the screen are strung together to capture what happened on the scene, which may seem trivial to others, but everyone at the scene looks so huge...... Until the video Zuihou, no one made a sound...... Only a cry of twitching noses was heard, and a sigh was heard.
3 months, countless difficulties, pain, and torture, but at this moment it is so reluctant......
After a long time after the end of the film, Elder Peng Mingzheng slowly got up, took out his collection of more than 1,000 commemorative coins of Mona Ludao from a cloth bag, and handed them out to everyone one by one.
"I don't have anything to give you but this coin as a souvenir...... Thank you for you. Peng Mingzheng personally released this sentence to everyone and repeated this sentence tirelessly.
According to tradition, many parents with young children came to Peng Mingzheng for a small baptism, hoping that the ancestral spirit would bless the children's good health, but this time more young parents found Jiang Wen and hoped that he could give them blessings on behalf of the leader of Saidek, Mona Ludao.
"I'm not Mona Ludo, I'm an actor." Jiang Wen had already taken off his wig at this time, which was completely different from the play, and it was very embarrassing.
"It's okay, we can feel the soul of the leader of Mona from you, please bless our children~" The young parents were unrelenting.
Jiang Wen Zuihou had no choice but to imitate Peng Mingzheng's movements and simply did the ritual, and those couples were moved by their enthusiasm, as if standing in front of them was the leader of Mona Ludao...... It made the rest of the crew laugh too......
But a couple came with their children, everyone was extremely religious, and everyone's feelings changed, as if they felt the heartfelt sincerity of these Saidek people, Jiang Wen Zuihou was also touched, and turned around to find something, but immediately saw Li Xiaole stretching out his hand to hand over the wig of "Mona Ludao......
"Director Li, do you think this is a bit pretending?" Jiang Wen wore a wig embarrassedly and said with some embarrassment.
"No...... Sometimes the outer things are fake, but the inner feelings are real. Li Xiaole helped him straighten his wig and said: "These things have a lifetime of value for them......
Jiang Wen put on the wig, turned his head to look at Li Xiaole, and nodded lightly: "Director Li, I want you...... I've been an actor for so long, and this is the first time I've felt that making a movie is more meaningful than I ever imagined......"
Li Xiaole couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and looked at the simple aborigines, and his heart was also filled with a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before...... Making a good movie, this process is a kind of growth, for Saidek, for Jiang Wen, and for himself, it is all ......
In June 2005, the whole of Taiwan has entered the summer, the outdoor humid air makes people feel unusually hot and uncomfortable, young people are accustomed to air-conditioned indoor activities, and at this time of year, the cinema in Taipei is one of everyone's favorite spots.
Like movie fans around the world, young people in Taipei know that the start of summer vacation means that all kinds of wonderful movies start to appear on the big screen.
Last month's "Star Wars Prequel 3: The Sith Strikes Back" swept the entire Taiwan theater in advance, and the legendary director George Lucas used the "Star Wars" series that spanned nearly 30 years to become the king of the film industry again, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, these shining names appeared in the cast list of "Star Wars", and more young fans frantically joined this film culture, and the box office has reached 72 million Taiwan dollars.
And into June, Christopher Nolan, a recognized genius director in the film industry, landed in Taiwan with a dark style "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows", when everyone thought that Christopher Nolan could end George Lucas's box office dominance, no one expected that the Asian king Jay Chou's first starring movie "Initial D" came out, and it won the two Hollywood blockbusters in the first three days.
Racing, the popularity of the original animation, coupled with the combination of popular singers, seems to have caused a boom in a short period of time, although "Initial D" won 27 million box office in 3 days, obviously began to decline rapidly, but it is still a hot spot in the summer file, Taiwanese filmmakers for the first time discovered the importance of popular idols to the box office of the movie^ ......
Gu Jay Chou's agency revealed that within a week of the movie's release, the little king was invited by several mainland film companies, including a new picture of Zhang Yimou...... It seems that the focus of the summer file is slowly shifting......
Just when the outside world was attracted to these three films, Li Xiaole was busy with Zuihou work on "Sedek Balai".
At this moment, Black Pearl's Black Sail Studio is in full swing, and more than a dozen Korean CG masters are also Chinese who are CG masters 8, processing thousands of special effects in front of more than 20 computers.
The CG of the later stage of "Saidek Bale" was handed over to three CG companies in South Korea, which was also carefully selected by Li Xiaole, and all three companies participated in the production of "Taiji Flag Flying", and also accepted some CG of "Han River Monster", which is very good on jishu.
In particular, the bald designer Kim Tae-yao in the team is not small, he used to be a designer of Weta Digital, participated in the "Lord of the Rings" series, and is second to none in the Korean CG special effects industry, and the other Korean CG artists present are basically apprentices brought out by him.
On the whole, the CG team involved in "Sedek Balai" this time, although it is not as good as those top teams in Europe and the United States, but it is enough for this movie.
And Li Xiaole asked Lei Ting to lead the Black Sail Special Effects Studio, to assist the Korean side in the whole process and learn from the experience.
Laymen will think that special effects CG is only used in those sci-fi films, disaster movies, etc., such as "Jurassic Park", "Independence Day" and the like, in fact, in war films, CG special effects are a crucial part.
It's always hard to perfect a real-life scene on the screen, and if you want it to look good, everything has to be repaired, and this time "Sedek Balai" needed more than 1,800 CG shots...... First of all Black Sails is responsible for the simplest job, synthesizing:
In the movie, the static natural vistas, towering rock walls, trees and forests, and cherry blossoms in full bloom are all combined with different images, and each detail needs to go through more than 20 jishu processes.
The difficulty of compositing is also the effect of light and particles, the dynamic enhancement of the flow of streams, the increase of sparks from explosions and guns, the number of people in certain scenes, the distribution range of rain and fog, and so on.
Li Xiaole observed from the side that although all of them were composed of domestic teams, Black Sail Studio was led by Wu Wei, a designer who used to work in Industrial Light and Magic, and the work was done quite well, and it was not inferior to the Korean team in Jishu.
The real gap is not in this place...... It's 3D animation......
In the movie, 3D animation is needed, such as the running boar, the crowd in the distance, the Japanese bombing plane, the Japanese destroyer in the signing ceremony of the Shimonoseki Treaty, the scattering of leaves on fire, and the full 3D forest that takes the most time.
Li Xiaole found that the domestic CG has no problem in jishu operation...... In terms of aesthetics, such as building a 3D animation of a wild boar, they can easily model it according to the size and attach hair, but once the boar moves, it is a big problem......
Chinese CG artists have no understanding of the mammalian torso principle, which looks very unrealistic, and in terms of light and shadow rendering, it is completely impossible to achieve the light and shadow effect that blends with the environment.
What's worse is that the presentation of CG in the movie not only needs to be real, but also to pursue beauty, there is a scene where the Japanese army's incendiary bombs explode in the woods, this explosion is not complicated to make, but the flame of the explosion is true to the leaves, and the burning leaves are thus scattered, so that the scattering is the level of beauty, and it is necessary to create an atmosphere of fire and rain that seems to fall between the forests.
This alone made several of Heifan's Chinese CG masters completely dumbfounded, and they didn't know what picture beauty was at all after Jishu training......
Whenever he encounters this situation, Li Xiaole can only stop and describe little by little, instilling the aesthetic concept of the movie into Hei Fan's CG master, while Lei Ting also acts as a translator next to him, telling them some of the experience of the Korean CG master's conversation, and learning while watching.
"I really don't know what Director Li is doing, Weishenme wants to tell them this, it's a waste of time...... Our team can do it directly! A group of puppies ......" Kim Tae-yo, the leader of the Korean special effects team, couldn't help but complain constantly in private, he looked down on these despicable Chinese who secretly learned their jishu, but what can be done, he must complete the contract.
Of course, Li Xiaole's complaints about the Korean team are clear, but he is still unmoved, and continues to follow his pace, these domestic CG personnel weishenme have always been able to be in the downstream of jishu, in the final analysis, they are not enough, the domestic education model makes their design thinking very narrow, and the domestic director does not understand jishu at all, which is very unfavorable to the growth of the overall quality of CG teachers, as well as the film itself.
Not only him, many people in the crew were crying, Lan Xin also grabbed Li Xiaole's hand, crying loudly like a child, grabbing him and refusing to let go......
As the soundtrack of the curtain sounds, the images on the screen are strung together to capture what happened on the scene, which may seem trivial to others, but everyone at the scene looks so huge......
