Chapter 761 Scene 761 Planning a new show
"This is the design draft of the film and television base?" Hearing this, Zhang Yimou was stunned, the tens of thousands of props and buildings and monsters in this album were not made up by computer? But it's all about being physical? What kind of kid......
Zhang Yimou opened his mouth slightly, looked back at Han Sanpin, Han Sanpin's first reaction was to take the album again, read it again, and was silent for a long time before turning the page of the magnificent complex that marked the "Heavenly Palace", pointing to the page above and asking Li Xiaole:
"Xiaole, are you sure you want to make this complex a real thing?"
"Of course, that's the most basic." Li Xiaole nodded as a matter of course: "The building is still relatively easy to do, as long as you spend money to make it, the really difficult thing is to need close-up shots of creatures and treasures, those armor, demons, blades, we have to first follow the design sketch three-dimensional, and then use the solid sculpture technique to make a real scale model, and finally scan the model into the computer where Black Sail works, and the details of the skin are also scanned into the computer, so as to achieve a realistic effect." ”
Li Xiaole said very seriously when he said this: "Mr. Han, do you know that our country's movies are so far behind the United States in terms of picture sense, because these details are wasted, we always want to do the biggest thing with the least money, but in fact, there are many things that cannot be cut corners." ”
"Isn't it possible to use pure computer CG production, how is this cutting corners?" Han Sanpin's scalp was only numb when he heard this, Li Xiaole was really crazy this time, he was going to make a magic movie, and he wanted to reproduce a real "world of the world" that he could see and touch, he didn't understand Li Xiaole's intention to do this at all, these scenes can be replaced by computer special effects, why do you want to make real things.
"Mr. Han, what you said is a huge misunderstanding of our domestic films." Li Xiaole frowned and said: "Many investors in our country think that computer CG and directors are the creators of movies, as long as we want to, we can create everything." ”
"Isn't it?" Han Sanpin, the high-ranking chairman of China Film, feels that there is nothing wrong with this theory.
"Wrong, big mistake~! This argument is bullshit~! Li Xiaole couldn't help but scold, looking at Han Sanpin's face a little embarrassed, he couldn't help waving his hand and explaining: "Uncle Han, do you know that I'm not scolding you...... I'm scolding those bullshit producers, let me tell you, what do you think is the best movie with CG special effects in movies now? ”
"Because it's Michael Bay's "Transformers", right......" Han Sanpin thought about it.
"It's The Lord of the Rings." Zhang Yimou couldn't help but correct beside him.
"The Lord of the Rings? Although there are a lot of monsters made of special effects in that film, it mainly depends on the makeup artist, except for the special lifelike Gollum, it seems that everything else is relatively mediocre. "Han Sanpin has always only focused on the general direction of the movie, and he doesn't know much about the details of the technique, especially the Chinese film has no advanced computer CG, in his mind, the shocking scene of the robot battle in the urban area of "Transformers" is the pinnacle of CG animation.
"In the whole film of "Transformers", only 72% of the shots are CG composited, while "The Lord of the Rings" has 80% of the special effects shots." Zhang Yimou explained.
"It's strange, why can't I feel it when I look at it?" Han Sanpin recalled, a little puzzled by this conclusion.
"Because his special effects make you feel that they are not special effects at all, which is the pinnacle of special effects." Li Xiaole pointed out the key words next to him:
"He shot all the thousands of weapons and armor, hundreds of hobbits, thousands of handmade feathered arrows, and even the long ears of the elves, all of which were scanned into the computer through physical models, and then made CG through calculations and presented on the computer.
The problem with the physical model is that they can't get them to move according to the director's requirements, and the number of them can't be made too much due to cost constraints, and the CG animation lacks realism, both have their own shortcomings, and only when the two are combined can the effect be really good.
"It's like a knife, even if we CG artists make a very real model in the computer, but his texture and reflective color can't be close to the real in any case, especially when it is waved, it will be particularly fake, you can see that many American movies are like this, the bullets flying in the Matrix are particularly fake, because all CG artists are just good at making models, not good at making knives, the same, buildings, the skin and hair of the characters, all of them, CG special effects artists can't use imagination to create real objects. ”
Speaking of this, Li Xiaole couldn't help but feel a little interested, and described his vision for the future with a longing voice, and said with a radiant expression:
"Because of this, we want to make the movie show a real effect, the first step is to let our CG be transformed from real entities~~ We want to gather all over China, ancient weapon construction, special effects makeup artists, ancient architects, all these artists together, to make a large-scale film and television base, and concentrate the power of the whole of China to create this 'Bo Sa' world of the world of the real bits and pieces, and then his real entities are scanned into the computer, and then CG is made for control, so ~~We were able to achieve the realistic and natural special effects of The Lord of the Rings. ”
"Well, that's a good point~! This should have been done a long time ago~! The more Zhang Yimou listened to what Li Xiaole said, the more excited he felt, if this film and television base was built, then because he still didn't dare to shoot the theme of magic fairy, as a director, he was very excited just thinking about it.
"Understood...... Understood......" After Han Sanpin listened, he was silent for a long time before finally nodding with a wry smile, what Li Xiaole said does make sense, but the purpose behind this truth is also very simple, he wants money to pile up......
"You~You...... Let's put it bluntly, all these things have to be substantiated, how big of a film and television base do you want to build......? Han Sanpin was cheated this time, he originally asked Zhang Yimou to persuade Li Xiaole to him, but now it's good, Li Xiaole flickered unconsciously, but instead fooled Zhang Yimou in.
"These things are only less than a third, and there are also the Shushan Sword Sect Pavilion, the Kunlun Immortal Peak Group, and the Thirty-Three Days City on the top of the King of Mount Meru...... At present, less than a quarter of these complexes, weapons, and monsters have been made, and more manpower is needed to improve them. Li Xiaole shook his head, he recruited the top 26 designers on the "Screenwriters Republic", but it still seemed insufficient, after all, these American designers knew too little about Chinese culture, and traditional Chinese craftsmen did not know how to use the Internet......
You must know that the description of the "Thirty-three Days City" in the Ludao Buddhist Sutra is very specific and detailed: "Eighty thousand in length; Its city is sevenfold, seven-fold columns, seven-fold nets, seven-fold row trees, and the school decoration of the Zhou turn, with seven treasures. The city is 100 years high, and the city is 60 years high. The city gate is sixty years high, thirty days wide, the glazed gate of the water spirit city, and the glazed Luo net hangs the water spirit bell ......"
These features should be substantial, and the design is still far from perfect, at least according to the current drawings, it is still difficult to make a charm......
"Do you want to build a film and television base, or do you want to build a small country." Han Sanpin's face changed when he heard this: "Let's keep it simple, according to 1 square kilometer of land, at least 9 million will be invested, how much land do you plan to want." ”
"Fifty square kilometers." Li Xiaole gave the answer without even thinking about it.
"So big?" Although Han Sanpin had been mentally prepared for a long time, he couldn't help but gasp when he heard this figure, which means that Li Xiaole needs 450 million yuan to buy this land...... This is not the ...... of building this film and television base."
You must know that Lu Dao repaired 30 square kilometers of Hengdian Film and Television City, but it cost 1.5 billion, so calculated, it cost at least 3 billion yuan to repair this film and television city Li Xiaole, more than 400 million US dollars...... Oh, my God...... He still has a score.
"Mr. Han, how much money will be needed for the completion of this film and television city, I can help pull some sponsorship." Zhang Yimou saw that Han Sanpin's face was blue and white for a while, and he was also worried that this matter would be difficult to achieve, so he couldn't help but speak for Li Xiaole.
"About 3 billion." Han Sanpin sighed.
"In fact, we don't need so much, we can strive for the tourism assistance of the local government, the state has relevant policies, we should be enough to pay 9, 1 billion, isn't Hengdian Film and Television City this way?" Li Xiaole explained calmly.
"Xiaole, you think things too simply." Han Sanpin sighed, looked at Li Xiaole and said earnestly: "Do you know how many financial resources and connections the leaders of Hengdian Film and Television Group have spent on the application to the approval to the construction, and finally let the two directors of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the Tourism Bureau nod and approve their application for tourism auxiliary ......projects."
Han Sanpin's words have been made clear, your Uncle Han is only the leader of China Film Group, and he has not yet had the ability to influence the policy.
"Well, that's a real problem." Li Xiaole scratched his head and said: "I have a way, but I need Uncle Han and Director Zhang to support me." ”
"What's the solution, you just have to say, I'm okay with this." Zhang Yimou hurriedly said, showing his firm support.
"Tell me about it......" Han Sanpin looked at Director Zhang Da quite sadly, thinking to himself who are you here to help......
"This opening ceremony, not counting the ignition ceremony, I still want to put on a show." Li Xiaole said with a smile: "I think there are not a lot of leaders this time, I will show the strength of our Black Pearl Company, I think it should be able to impress several big leaders, as long as they nod, there is hope for me to apply for this land as a tourism auxiliary project." ”
