With the medium of kung fu, the young men of the "Earth-shattering" crew have one more difficult task every day in addition to work: running. [No pop-up novel network] The physical strength is at least five laps, and the few who often play basketball can last twelve laps, but there is no one who is so perverted that Wang Xiaohu runs twenty-five laps.

In Ip Man's last days, he once said to Wang Xiaohu: "When Xiaolong taught Wing Chun to foreigners, I was actually not too opposed, but the core wooden stakes and eight slashing knives of Wing Chun could never be taught. ”

The subtext of this sentence is: Ah Hu, you can teach others Wing Chun, even if a foreign devil wants to learn Wing Chun, but you can only teach the basic things of Wing Chun, and the wooden stake and the eight chopping knives must not be outflowed. Therefore, what Wang Xiaohu taught them was Wing Chun.

Being able to move your body through Wing Chun after work, and even learn self-defense skills, this is probably the extra harvest of everyone in the crew of "Earthbreaking", after Meng Yao has kung fu, the young men are full of energy, through daily exercise, they are not only physically strong, but the two of them have gained each other's trust every day, and they are more harmonious and tacit in their work.

"Tiger, you see that they are working together very tacitly now, this is probably the additional effect of learning kung fu from you."

Spielberg looked at the energetic young men in the audience with a smile, a little relieved.

Wang Xiaohu shrugged, agreeing with his view. "In addition to improving people's overall quality, learning kung fu can also understand themselves and their peers better in the learning process, and the spirit will also be improved.

The synthesis of real pictures and post-production model special effects is the key topic of "Industrial Light and Magic" research in the past two years, after half a month of shooting, the first five seconds of the plot of "Earthbreaking" has finally been filmed. Lucas personally led the team in the makeshift editing room on the set, compositing the five-second footage.

"Trust him, he's an expert on this." Lucas comforted Wang Xiaohu, in fact, he himself was not sure, relatively speaking, this kind of real-life scene, model synthesis is more than ten times more complex than "Star Wars", most of the spaceships in "Star Wars" are models, and the synthesis is relatively simple, while "Earthbreaking" needs to fuse three films together to achieve the coordination and synchronization of models, real scenes, and characters, and it is not obvious to see that they are only going to go, which really gives Lucas a big problem.

This is not only a problem for Lucas, but also a big problem in the history of world cinema, if this difficulty is overcome, then OK, the next shooting progress will be accelerated, and the entire team of "Industrial Light and Magic" will also accumulate valuable experience in this training, and then use it in the filming of "Star Wars", which will surely have a good effect.

Filming is still ongoing, but Lucas's team has been busy for more than a week, and it has entered December at this time, seeing that the second 5 seconds are about to be completed, and the final editing of the first 5 seconds has not yet come out, which makes Wang Xiaohu feel irritable.

Gradually, this kind of irritability affected everyone in the crew, so in addition to work and practice every day, they had another fun to pass the time: accompanying Wang Xiaohu to squat in front of the editing room and wait for news.

In the past week, Lucas's team has been stuck in the editing room, except for eating, drinking, and staying at home, Wang Xiaohu is always very dignified every time he sees Lucas's face, and he doesn't answer when he asks him, and Wang Xiaohu can't kick his feet in a hurry.

But at this time, Wang Xiaohu also knew that kicking would definitely not be able to answer the question, so he could only wait until the day when Lucas spoke.

Wang Xiaohu was like guarding outside the delivery room, anxiously waiting for the birth of a child who was pregnant for ten months, pacing back and forth outside the editing room with his hands behind his back, and more than 40 young men also paced back and forth with him.

Just when Wang Xiaohu was really impatient and wanted to kick the door in, the door creaked open, and Wang Xiaohu hurriedly rushed over and said goodbye to George. Lucas asked, "How?" ”

Lucas smiled bitterly and did not speak, but let go of his body, and very gentlemanly invited Wang Xiaohu to come in and see for himself.

Wang Xiaohu did not hesitate at all, and strode in, followed by Spielberg and several other key personnel.

In order to give Lucas more space to display his talents, and for the sake of insurance, Wang Xiaohu will make two more copies of each 5-second shot after shooting, which is why the editing room is full of waste film.

The small projector had been turned on, and Wang Xiaohu felt his heartbeat begin to accelerate with the flickering images on the screen.

First of all, there is a large scene of a group of buildings, the three-story buildings are particularly quiet under the dim street lamps, and occasionally a few rooms are lit up, and the shadow of the fan in the room can be vaguely seen, these shots that do not belong to the first 5 seconds range are directly shot by Wang Xiaohu, which is very smooth.

Next, the camera began to shake slightly, and then this shaking accelerated suddenly, and the originally quiet three-story buildings immediately tilted under this shaking, and there was a screaming sound in the building, just watch the house collapse on the screen, bricks, and dust were presented in slow motion editing for a while, and the good buildings began to fall and tilt in the blink of an eye

How long is five seconds? In reality, it is the time to blink an eye and take two breaths, but all the people in the editing room almost held their breath for nearly half a minute, Wang Xiaohu stared at the picture on the screen, his fists were also clenched at this time, his eyes were full of joy and excitement, and the others were shocked!

Five seconds, in the hearts of the shocked people has been stretched by the picture on the screen, they have seen such a shocking movie picture for the first time, the visual shock brought by the earthquake, has made them feel far more than five seconds.

"Hmm." Wang Xiaohu's throat moved, there was no doubt that the five-second footage that Lucas had edited over the course of a week had succeeded, and although some of the things seemed stiff to him as a reborn person, they far exceeded what could be made in this era.

This somewhat reminds Wang Xiaohu of a slogan of Industrial Light & Magic: There are only pictures that you can't think of, and there are no pictures that Industrial Light & Magic can't make.

This slogan is definitely not bragging, but the credibility that ILM has earned through decades of commercial success. Now, Lucas has made special effects that Wang Xiaohu can't help but admire in the 70s, and I can't help but say that Lucas is shocked.

"It worked! It worked! Steven, we made it! Wang Xiaohu suddenly let out a long laugh, which was a kind of laughter that had been suppressed for a long time and suddenly got catharsis, which immediately woke up everyone who was still in a state of shock in the editing room.

"Ahh We did it! ”

"God, is this something we made?"

"It's so real!"

"I'm not dreaming, it looks like a real earthquake!"

Everyone chattered and discussed, and then they hugged each other and cheered happily, this 5-second picture was successful, announcing that the success of Industrial Light & Magic has taken a milestone step, how do you make these people who have worked hard for half a year unhappy, how not excited!

Looking at the ecstatic hugging of everyone, Wang Xiaohu also wanted to find someone to hug, but everyone present knew that Wang Xiaohu never hugged with the same surname, otherwise it would attract his fists to serve, so everyone instinctively avoided him in order to protect their noses and teeth from being damaged by Wang Xiaohu.

"Rely on your uncle!" Wang Xiaohu scolded with a wry smile.

"Hey, boss, I'm doing a good job, right?" George. Although Lucas's face was still tired, when he saw that his work was passed by the boss, his eyes were full of light, and he walked over with a smile and stretched out his right hand.

"Damn, it's a hundred times better than I expected!" Wang Xiaohu grabbed Lucas's right hand hard, shook it twice and said: "Man, you don't know that I've been worried about it this week, I'm afraid that you will scrap these three boxes of film, but fortunately, you didn't let me down, and our hard work has been duly rewarded." ”

"George, thank you!"

George. Lucas grinned and said in a grateful tone, "Actually, I should thank you, Tiger, if it weren't for your transfer of me to Hong Kong to work together on this unsolvable task for the world, I probably wouldn't have believed that one day I would be able to produce such a satisfactory work, and that I would have a new understanding of the post-synthesis machine I invented." ”

"Really? Tell us what you think. Wang Xiaohu and Lucas slowly walked out of the editing room, the light outside was very strong, which made Lucas, who had not seen the sun for a long time, a little uncomfortable, and after a long time, the bearded man said with a smile: "When I was compositing and editing in the post-production, I found that the machine still has a lot of room for upgrades, and it can be modified for this movie, of course, the premise is that you have to break the bank again." ”

"Money is a bastard, don't worry about money, George, I just need to know how many times more efficient this thing can be improved after being modified and upgraded."

Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and didn't care. At this time, money is really not important, after all, the machine is not unusable after shooting, as long as it can improve the shooting progress and efficiency, and ensure the current quality, it is cost-effective to spend more money.
