Chapter 243. Special effects master!
Park Jinying's thoughts were only buried in his heart for a while, and he didn't say it to Yoon Tianyou. Yoon Tian-woo was worried about Park Jin-young at first, but when he saw Park Jin-young return to normal, he stopped thinking about it anymore and just devoted himself to the soundtrack of the movie. Since the scenes of the whole movie are basically in Hong Kong, and Wan Tianyou inadvertently expressed his perception of Hong Kong music in the film, it is natural that the style of the soundtrack is mainly in the style of Cantonese songs.
In this way, the results of Yin Tianyou's research on Hong Kong music during this period are expressed. The scenes of the movie are already familiar to him, and it is easy to recall them in his mind, and the following soundtrack is like a volcanic eruption, and the inspiration is so strong that Yin Tianyou almost did it in one go.
This is entirely due to Wan Tianyou's super learning ability, after studying during the filming, the amount of Hong Kong music he has listened to is very staggering, and it can be automatically reproduced at any time, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. In addition, his talent for music is also difficult to reach by ordinary people, and with the freshness of Hong Kong music, he quickly grasped the essence of Hong Kong music and was able to create his own works.
Because Yin Tianyou has an amazing physique and a work efficiency that is 100 times that of ordinary people, what he needs most is inspiration. As soon as inspiration strikes, he has no problem composing a symphony overnight.
At the end of the soundtrack, Yin Tianyou first enjoyed it by himself, and he was very satisfied. However, it seems that the inspiration has not yet been fully realized, and he took advantage of the excitement to write another song. Thinking back to what he saw and heard in Hong Kong, as well as his intimate association with the king Lau Dehua, he hardly had to think about it. The melody has poured out on its own.
Yin Tianyou was still unsatisfied, and he filled in the first word. turned out to be another Chinese lyrics, it can be said that Chinese culture has had too much influence on him. In contrast, South Korea's history and culture are simply barren and weak, and Yoon Tianwoo has not been able to absorb any good nutrients.
In fact, according to Yin Tianyou's current songwriting skills, he is enough to PK with many orthodox Chinese master lyricists. Outside, he is more like a Chinese than a Chinese, and where can you see that he is a Chinese in Korea.
In short, Yin Tianyou's creative inspiration is full of passion, and it is in this situation that all the relevant follow-up work is carried out. Yoon Cheon-woo's soundtrack was the first to be completed, and its efficiency and effect caused a burst of amazement from Kim Tae-yong and others, who had to adjust their views on Yoon Cheon-woo again.
As an old friend who knows Yin Tianyou, JYP songwriter Professor Jin is now really admiring Yin Tianyou.
Chinese music, especially Hong Kong music, is quite popular in South Korea, and Professor Kim also appreciates this style very much. After listening to the soundtrack, he was completely shocked,
That grasp of the soul of Hong Kong Cantonese music has made him unbelievable. And not only that, it is also seamless in the consistency with the plot of the film, reaching the realm of music and scenery. The grasp of the rhythm is also just right, Zhang Chi has a degree, and it is really a model work in the soundtrack.
Professor Kim can fully imagine that the final finished film. The soundtrack is an absolutely crucial factor, and Yoon's soundtrack perfectly complements the film, but it doesn't dominate at all. That's what the soundtrack does, but only Yoon Tianwoo does it perfectly.
At this time, in Professor Kim's mind. Yin Tianyou is simply the god of acting in the world, this. It's similar to Kim Tae-yong's point of view.
"Genius FIVE, it's so talented." Kim Tae-yong finally had to come to such a conclusion. Under the stimulation of Yoon Tianyou, Kim Tae-yong's already high enthusiasm has been boosted again, and he demands excellence in all his work. His current momentum is enough to make many Korean directors embarrassed.
Under Kim Tae-yong's strict requirements, the first to be impacted was the post-production team of this drama.
As we all know, Korean movie special effects are also well-known in Asia, and the special effects company invited by JYP Entertainment this time is actually the KY special effects company that cooperated with Kim Tae-yong and them to shoot "Tian Yuji" last time.
This special effects company is known for its CG technology. This type of technology is widely used in films, which refers to films in which the film itself is shot in a real scene and performed mainly by real people, but interspersed with a large number of virtual scenes and special effects. The usual method is to use CG technology to add virtual scenes, characters, things, special effects and other objects in traditional films, so as to achieve the purpose of distinguishing the real from the fake and enhancing the visual effect.
In the total production cost of a movie, the production cost of CG technology accounts for between 10% and 50%, and among the films released in South Korea in recent years, only a few films such as "Haeundae" and "Tian Yuji" have a CG production cost of more than 4 billion won.
This time the two companies cooperated again, and last time Kim Tae-yong praised the special effects of "Tian Yuzhi" for doing a good job, but at this time, he changed his original evaluation and denounced it as unsightly. According to Kim Tae-yong's original idea, "League of Thieves" is not a magic movie, and from the CG special effects, it is almost acceptable in this drama. But after listening to Yin Tianyou's soundtrack, and then thinking of Yin Tianyou's perfect acting in the movie, he really can't tolerate such a poor movie effect to cooperate.
Kim Tae-yong has a very different attitude before and after, and in the eyes of the CG special effects team members, his grievances can be imagined.
In all fairness, the CG effect is good this time, but compared to the world's first-class level, the gap is also obvious. However, it is also necessary to take into account the practical factors, first of all, the special effects of this drama are not the focus, and secondly, the investment in the special effects part is limited, and as many things are given, how many results are made, which is already very good, it can be said that although they did not reach the first-class level, they did their best.
At this time, Kim Tae-yong was judging their works by his highest standards, and naturally he didn't have much high evaluation. Like all people who work in the arts, Kim Tae-yong becomes unreasonable when it comes to the quality of his work, and he doesn't listen to the explanation of the CG special effects team at all, but only strongly asks the team to improve his design.
At first, the members of the CG special effects team were very weak because their work was not top-notch, and they only tactfully explained the actual reasons. But after Kim Tae-yong repeatedly refused to listen to any reason. couldn't help but feel on fire, and the rhetoric of both sides gradually became excessive.
Originally, the members of the group were also young and vigorous. and thought very highly of themselves, so more fierce rhetoric from both sides also came out.
Park Jin-young tried to persuade both sides. It is still impossible to avoid the smell of gunpowder at the scene.
Sandwiched in the middle, Park Jin-young was in a dilemma, and could only smile bitterly in his heart. He can understand the meaning of both sides, as a director, who doesn't want their works to be perfect, Kim Tae-yong's psychology is normal. But from the side of the special effects team, they did their best, according to Park Zhenying's understanding, they are under the belief of creating high-quality special effects. I often work all night, which is not very effective, and I really have limited resources. It is also very unrealistic for them to make more perfect works in a short period of time.
As a result of the quarrel, Park Jin-young could only persuade both sides to dissipate their anger first. As a producer, Park Jin-young naturally hopes that the effect of the film can be perfect, but he understands the strength of these professional special effects teams, and they have done their best. Of course, the best solution to the current dispute is to be able to produce a work that meets Kim Tae-yong's requirements. But to be honest, it was too hard.
After thinking about it, Park Jin-young decided to start with special effects animation to see if there was a way to improve it. He walked up to the members of the special effects team. Before he could speak, the leader had already preemptively said: "Compared with the world-class level, our special effects are not good enough. But it's not as bad as Director Kim said, right? What is unsightly, alas. That guy's words were so hurtful. The tone was very aggrieved.
Park Jin-young naturally could only comfort with kind words.
At this time, Kim Tae-yong shouted like adding fuel to the fire on the side: "Please find out the situation!" If the special effects don't work up to my expectations. The release of this drama will be postponed! I'd rather not produce a work than produce an imperfect work! Although the threat is almost powerless, Kim's haughty attitude and resolute tone show that he will not compromise on this issue. Park Jin-young can only comfort first.
Finally, after both sides had calmed down, Park Jin-young called the members of the special effects team aside and asked, "If we invest more, can we make better special effects?" ”
"President Park, it's not that we don't work hard, it's really hard to do this." To be honest, now that the whole special effect is basically in place, if you overturn it and start over, you will lose a lot. ”
Park Jin-young was silent, as a businessman, of course he understood that redoing the special effects of this drama would cost hundreds of millions, or even billions of won, would it be worth it?
"Let's start with revisions." Park Zhenying finally said: "I will send you the funds immediately, and it will be counted as a little bit if I can improve a little." ”
Just when Park Jin-young was discussing the special effects of the movie with everyone, Yoon Tianyou rushed over, but he came to see the sample film by appointment.
Park Jinying was so busy that he almost forgot about it, and when he saw Yin Tianyou, he said, "You wait a minute, I have something to talk about with them." ”
Yin Tianyou nodded, just looked around casually, and soon, he was attracted by the special effects made by the special effects staff.
It was a set of special effects pictures of Ha Ji Won stealing from a skyscraper using coercion. CG technology was used to simulate the appearance of a skyscraper, and then Ha Ji Won conducted interactive shooting.
Subconsciously, Yin Tianyou suddenly approached the computer, and then shouted: "This effect seems to be a little worse......"
"What, what did you say?" The technician sitting in front of the computer stared at Yin Tianyou, of course he knew Yin Tianyou, and thought that you were just a singer star, how dare you say these words without shame, you have a specialization in technology, don't you understand?
Yin Tianyou smiled and said politely: "I think it might be better to modify it a little." ”
"Possibly?" The man sneered, "You think it's painting?" Yin Tianyou XI, we admit that you are very good, but that's just acting and singing, in this regard, hehe......"
Self-explanatory.
In fact, these people are not willing to talk to Yoon Tianyou in this tone, after all, where is Yin Tianyou's identity and status in the Korean entertainment industry, but the director Kim Tae-yong was so angry just now, and now everyone is holding their stomach with a stomach, and they can't help but vent it.
Yin Tianyou is a rare good temper, but a trace of purple flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said: "I'm just talking about things, if I say something wrong, please forgive me." ”
"Forgive me? Haha, it's better than that. If you think we didn't do a good job, you can give it a try, how about it? Do you dare? That means very simply. If you have the ability, you can do it well, or don't talk big.
Yin Tianyou listened to this. He smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll give it a try." ”
As he spoke, Yin Tianyou had already sat down in front of the computer.
Most of the members of the special effects team are young people, and when they heard Yin Tianyou comment on the special effects they had worked so hard to make, they were suddenly hit hard, and at this moment, seeing that Yin Tianyou really wanted to "modify" their work, they couldn't help but be curious, or rather, wait to see the joke. After all, a celebrity like Yin Tianyou is famous. It's also wonderful to lose face.
Seeing that Yin Tianyou had started to operate the computer with a mouse in one hand and a keyboard in the other, the head of the special effects team showed a trace of contempt at the corner of his mouth, and he felt even more ridiculous in his heart when he saw Yin Tianyou modify the special effects screen beyond recognition in an instant.
While modifying the animation, Yin Tianyou said to himself: "In fact, many times you don't have to be too complicated to do things, and a very simple thing is complicated." It will waste resources and the effect will not be good. Actually, as long as that's it, it's pretty much it. As he spoke, he quickly proceeded with a series of operations.
The head of the special effects team, who was still watching jokes, happened to see Yin Tianyou's operation process. Suddenly, his mouth opened wide as if he had been struck by lightning, but he didn't say anything. After looking at it for a moment, he suddenly beckoned the rest of the special effects team to come and watch.
The other members gathered around. Then all of a sudden they all whispered, and then they didn't say anything. But they all watched Yin Tianyou's operation intently.
Park Jin-young and Kim Tae-yong didn't see anything special about Yoon Tian-woo's actions. But looking at the faces of the members of the special effects team, it was obvious that Yin Tianyou gave them a great shock, and they knew that there must be something special, but they didn't see it, and they all stepped forward to watch it curiously.
And Yin Tianyou didn't notice that he was already the focus of everyone's attention at this time, and he was operating by himself, and at the same time explaining to himself.
Yin Tianyou kept talking and handing, and he was busy in front of the computer, and the others were puzzled, because from the picture, they didn't see any improvement at all, but the members of the special effects team were excited, looked at each other, and nodded at the same time, as if they saw something to be happy about. One of them also slapped his head exaggeratedly: "Oh, it's just that we're so stupid, why can't we even think of such a simple method." The others weren't so exaggerated, but the expressions on their faces seemed to agree with what this man was saying.
Seeing this scene, Park Jin-young and Kim Tae-yong glanced at each other, extremely surprised, how could they not expect Yoon Tianyou to have such superb computer technology.
After a period of busyness, Yin Tianyou finally stopped, then carefully admired his masterpiece, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, this is much better." Let's see if it's much better looking than before. ”
Park Jin-young and Kim Tae-yong looked at each other, not knowing what was good. The picture was changed by Yin Tianyou to be colorful, which stimulates people's visual organs, but when it comes to beauty, it is not as good as the original special effects. Kim Tae-yong's face was expressionless, but the gesture of pouting his lips indicated that he really did not dare to compliment.
Originally, Park Jinying was very confident in Yoon Tianyou, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but want to blame Yoon Tianyou.
However, as soon as he thought of this, before he could speak, one of the members of the special effects team had already spoken first: "Oh, yes, Mr. Yin Tianyou's skills are really good, I would like to thank you on behalf of all the members of our team." We really admire your expertise in CG special effects. ”
This person's words immediately caused a burst of exclamation from Park Jin-young and Kim Tae-yong. But no matter how you look at it, you can't see what is good about Yin Tianyou's changed animation.
The person from the special effects team didn't rush to explain to everyone, but just turned to Kim Tae-yong, bowed solemnly, and said, "Director Kim, I'm sorry, we quarreled with you just now, and we were wrong." You're right, our special effects are not good, and our technology is not at home. The reason we found is not in fact valid, and I apologize to you. ”
Kim Tae-yong was even more stunned after hearing this, he didn't care about the so-called apology at all, but asked repeatedly: "You mean you can make the special effects better?" ”
The man from the special effects team nodded affirmatively, "Yes." We will fix it in the fastest possible time, and the effect is definitely more than a notch higher than it is now. When the time comes, I will ask Director Jin to comment. ”
Kim Tae-yong's reaction was even more intense, he stepped forward, held the speaker's hand tightly, and said sincerely: "Film is an art, and art is to keep improving, maybe my attitude is very bad, but I also want to complete a perfect film." Now that you have a way to make the effects better, let the past pass. No matter what our ideas are, our goals are the same, and small disputes should not affect our friendship and cooperation. I also apologize to you guys, my attitude is really problematic. ”
The two parties who had quarreled before each reviewed their mistakes, and a storm suddenly disappeared.
When it comes to movie screen special effects, the most important thing to achieve perfect reality is the depiction of details. The more details, the more realistic and perfect the picture will be. However, the richer the details, the same picture, a scene, the more computer resources need to be occupied, therefore, the final effect of the animation is still limited by the performance of the computer, if the details of a picture reach a certain level, it is impossible to be richer, because if the load of the computer is exceeded, the animation will not be able to complete the run, and it will not be an animation at all.
However, even with the same hardware, there are still many techniques that can optimize animation, just like the difference between an ordinary painter and a master, not skill, but consciousness.
Yin Tianyou himself has made improvements in this aspect, and under limited resources and conditions, the entire special effects have been perfected.
Therefore, Yin Tianyou shocked the members of the special effects team and was in awe, because he taught these people a lesson on how to maximize the use of resources without affecting or even enhancing the effect.
As for why Yin Tianyou's changed pictures look gorgeous, it is because the special effects of the movie pursue a kind of visual impact, which is a kind of consciousness that many people can't recognize.
Park Jin-young saw from the attitude of the special effects team that Yoon Tian-woo seemed to be very unusual, and hurriedly asked, "How did you suddenly be able to meet Director Kim's requirements?" Looking at Yoon Tian-woo, Park Jin-young asked uncertainly, "Is there anything special about FIVE for you to see?" ”
The man who was asked sighed and said: "We have always pretended to be computer masters, and no one is convinced, but after seeing Mr. Yin Tianyou's technology today, we know what is the sky outside the sky." In my estimation, even if you are a computer expert, it is no different. Watching him operate is better than thinking about it for ten years ourselves. ”
Park Zhenying was dumbfounded when he heard it, he knew that these CG special effects personnel had always been in their eyes, and when it came to computers, no one paid attention to them, and now they actually admired Yin Tianyou so much, Yin Tianyou's cleverness can be imagined. At the same time, Park Jinying was excited, it was difficult to find a special effects master, but he didn't expect such a master to be by his side, and he was still his most important FIVE Yin Tianyou. But he was very strange, strange how could Yin Tianyou understand this? Why didn't you show it before?
With questions, Park Jin-young asked Yoon Tianyou very directly, anyway, everyone is not an outsider. But Yoon Tianwoo's answer made Park Jin-young stunned.
Yin Tianyou said: "I played games and played them!" ”
What the? Can you play games with such unfathomable computer technology? Don't talk about Park Jin-young, even those people in the special effects team don't believe it.
In fact, Yin Tianyou really didn't lie, his understanding of computer technology stemmed from the fact that he liked to play computer games when he was in school, and he played a lot, and his understanding of computer knowledge deepened, so that later, after he mutated, he read a lot of books on computer applications.
Regarding Yin Tianyou's answer, everyone can only marvel at how big the world is, while Park Jinying and Kim Tae-yong are secretly happy, after all, with Yin Tianyou, a special effects master, it will be much easier to film in the future, and it will save a lot of trouble.
However, for these, Yin Tianyou saw through their minds at a glance, and joked: "You have to add money for extra work!" It's not that I'm stingy, but I'm afraid that outsiders will say that JYP is squeezing employees. ”
Park Jin-young: "Don't forget, you are also the boss of the company, squeezing you, that is Hyeri Volkswagen." ”
Yin Tianyou, speechless. (To be continued.) )
