Chapter 25: I Want to Make a Movie!

Interestingly, not long after the film was released, the "Southern Express" published a news, a news about the gangster's fight. It was mentioned on the news that both sides of the fight were wearing windbreakers and holding a small toothpick, and they were finally arrested by the police, forming a great spectacle.

Since then, trench coats and sunglasses have become sought-after goods, and holding toothpicks has become the most common action of young men. Walking casually on the street, at least four of the ten men I met were wearing trench coats, three were wearing sunglasses, and five were holding toothpicks.

But none of this has much to do with Tang Yin, and after the test screening, he was busy making his new movie.

The new film prepared by Tang Yin is "Autumn Fairy Tale", and the content has been slightly modified, because in this time and space, no one in the citizens of the Ming Empire takes immigrating to other countries seriously, only other countries immigrating to the Ming Empire, this is the country that the world is paying attention to.

However, when he was filming a new film, he met a guy who made Tang Yin have other thoughts, a guy named George? Lucas's young man approached him with his new little film, and he was recommended to be a contracted director. Zhang Lan called Tang Yin over and asked him to evaluate this George? Lucas's directing abilities.

George? How is Lucas's directing ability, Tang Yin didn't pay attention to it first, but this foreigner came all the way to the Ming Empire to promote himself or Tang Yin was very interested, this person seems to have such a guy in the time and space where he came, it seems that he also made a masterpiece of science fiction movies, and then he lay on this movie until he died.

And what he needs to evaluate is a short film that this guy has made, so as to see this guy's directing ability. In recent years, it has become the most common thing for foreign directors to come to live in the Ming Empire, what movies they make, and their ability to make movies determines whether they can mix in the Ming Empire.

George? Lucas's film made Tang Yin's eyes light up, not because this film was made well, but because Tang Yin actually saw a lot of special effects in this film. Tang Yin was immediately sure that the guy in front of him should coincide with the guy in another time and space, which made Tang Yin have the idea of preparing this guy to make a special effects movie.

In the original plane, with the help of a man named George? Lucas's young man gradually took shape with a few simple manuscripts, and the "Star Wars" in his heart began immediately, which also started the grand battle of comprehensive innovation of global film special effects, and the film entered the special effects period.

In that short period of 20 years, film special effects have undergone earth-shaking changes due to new creative ideas and comprehensive technological innovations. During this time, there have been such special effects films as the Star Wars series, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Alien and The Abyss.

These films not only enrich people's demand for fantasy films, but also give the film itself a broader space to play, and the shooting that could not be done before can be perfected through various special effects. George? Lucas's massive interstellar empire has led people to a whole new realm. In particular, the spaceship that shuttles between the planets is simply dazzling and addictive to the viewer.

And Lucas's industrial light and magic has since become famous and has become the big brother in the film special effects industry. The extensive use of miniatures in the Star Wars films produced by this special effects company did not affect the overall visual quality, but instead established the exemplary status of interstellar spectacles in science fiction films. Wonderful scenes such as chases and fierce battles between battle spaceships still linger in Tang Yin's mind.

It is precisely because of the rise of special effects movies that Hong Kong films in the original time and space will be defeated one after another, and finally the entire film market will fall. The special effects in Lucas's short film are very fresh, and Tang Yin knows that at least no one in the world has noticed this, so Tang Yin moved his mind. "Mr. Lucas, I wonder if you're interested in specializing in film special effects?"

Lucas immediately raised his head after listening to Tang Yin's words, the young man in front of him was the director of several of the world's highest-grossing movies, although he didn't understand the meaning of the movie very well, but this did not prevent him from appreciating and admiring the actions and plots in the movie, but ......

"I'm sorry, Director Tang, I just want to make a movie!" To hell with that work that specializes in film special effects, he's only interested in making movies.

Lucas's words made Tang Yin stunned, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard. This guy doesn't even want to do special effects! What's going on? It seems that this guy from the original time and space has been concentrating on special effects since he filmed Star Wars, and now he actually tells himself that he doesn't want to do special effects.

stared at Lucas for a while, and after seeing that this guy was serious, Tang Yin lost interest in him, for Tang Yin, maybe Lucas's role is in special effects, if he doesn't do special effects, it doesn't seem to mean much. However, Tang Yin still nodded to Zhang Lan and asked the company to sign this guy.

Otherwise, put this guy back, and then he will go back to the United States to concentrate on the development of this piece, maybe one day he will really be able to make a professional film special effects work center, and then it will be bad if the movies of the Ming Empire are overtaken. In order not to let American films grow, let him continue to be his director in the Ming Empire.

Because of Lucas's play, Tang Yin felt that he also needed to prepare a film special effects company, and when he finished filming these classics of small-budget movies, it was time to prepare to bombard indiscriminately.

"You said the company was going to set up a department dedicated to film special effects? Is it necessary? Zhang Lan asked suspiciously after listening to Tang Yin's idea. Isn't there a company specializing in special effects in China? Wouldn't it be nice to find them? ”

"Of course it's necessary, those domestic special effects companies are too simple to do what I want. I need to set up a computer special effects production company and develop special effects software, and then you will know the charm of special effects films. ”

Tang Yin said very resolutely, he has already seen the power of special effects movies in another time and space, and future movies will belong to the world of large-scale special effects movies, and he can't go behind others. can't let other countries surpass the Ming Empire, let them become the dumping market for Ming films.

"Okay, you have the final say on the movie, but how much do you want to invest?" Zhang Lan now has an inexplicable belief in Tang Yin, probably because of the lessons brought by the first movie.

"The preliminary estimate is one or two hundred million, and I may continue to throw money into it in the future, but the money will be very fast after it develops." Now it's not the first time I came to the meeting, and the current Tang Yin has a certain understanding of the economic and technological development of the Ming Empire.

There are now companies that do computer special effects in the Ming Empire, but they are now working towards the opening of CG computer games, and no one has noticed the film and television yet, so they will be the first to eat crabs.
