Chapter 236: Zombies
"How do you prepare?"
"First find a company that does special effects makeup, and follow the requirements I wrote to make the makeup and props I want."
"It feels like it's a little hard."
"For magnesium countries, these are small meanings."
"Alright then, I'll give it a try."
Wang Yang still chose George's Living Dead series of movies, but he chose to make some re-compilations, and it is a more series of words, and the story connection of each episode will be relatively large, but if you watch it independently, there will not be too much obstacle, because the story of the movie must not be too long, but in the end, what you want to express is a kind of leftist free thought.
The zombie movie itself depicts a lot of the ugliness of human nature, in which people become zombies, if it is according to the ideas of the right, it must be salvation, not like the right, it must be killed.
Hongyue went to find a special effects makeup company, and Wang Yang supplemented the script.
How to say, special effects makeup and computer digital special effects are completely two concepts, for Hollywood, a place where the film industry is very developed, the industrial art of film has always attracted people from all over the world to visit.
Or when it comes to special effects makeup, the simplest adjective is disguise, so for the restrictive movie of zombie films, it is necessary to do a better job of shooting the lens.
Basically, all of George's films are very small-budget, and there is absolutely no coherent shot, all of which use camera switching to present a violent beauty.
To put it bluntly, all kinds of headshots from those zombies and stuff. It was all taken at another point in time. The human brain is completely automatic, and the nurse ignores it.
Of course. In the fourth part, from the Tomb of the Living Dead to the Land of the Living Dead, George's investment has become much larger, but zombie films are still very small cost.
It has been until the big zombies like Resident Evil, and after the emergence of some sci-fi movies, it has completely led the global zombie culture frenzy.
The name of Wang Yang's movie is called "Land of the Living Dead", which is the same as George's name. However, the story of the movie is slightly different.
In order to show a smooth story, Wang Yang doesn't want to use George's very simple and crude way to express the camera, such as the direct bite of zombies, and the picture of headshots.
As much as possible, he wanted to use lighting, shadows, scenes, dialogue, dubbing, actors' acting skills, and other very detailed ways in these movies to show the real thriller artistic sense of zombie movies, and there was also a post-apocalyptic atmosphere.
Wang Yang's pursuit is naturally higher than George's, after all, it is in the atmosphere of Hollywood, and for George's back then, he was a pioneer. Naturally, there will be some pompous works.
In fact, it is not only George, but also Lin Zhengying.
What level did Uncle Lin reach back then?
Uncle Lin is from Shaw Brothers Films. Back then, Shaw Brothers was a little short of money, and immediately shot zombie movies, sometimes one was not enough, and two were made, including the same as other film companies, all of which followed the trend, and for several years in a row, the movies everyone saw were zombie movies of exactly the same style, until the entire market was completely eaten to death.
So much so that many people are thinking, why doesn't Huaxia make some zombie movies?
At present, the mainland is definitely unable to open up such a large scale, because inland cinemas are still in a very urgent need and in short supply, such as the cost of mobile phones and the Internet access fees, which are actually very cheap and close to the people in developed countries, but in developing countries it is completely impossible, and the fees are definitely expensive.
If you compare the price of movie tickets in the country of magnesium with the price of movie tickets in Huaxia, you will find that the price of Chinese movies is still at least 60% more expensive than that of magnesium country!
What is this concept?
In China, if you count how many people have gone to the cinema and watched a movie in five years, the results will naturally be absolutely terrifying.
"I've asked, the special effects company has to meet with you in person to negotiate."
"Well, what time was booked?"
"It's Monday next week."
"That's fine." "In other words, will the people of the magnesium country definitely rest on Saturdays and Sundays?"
"For a normal business, overtime pay is very expensive."
"In China, it is almost impossible to feel that overtime pay is a very large expense."
"Well, that's a consequence of overcapacity."
"The main thing is that the magnesium country still owes us too much money."
"Husband, don't you think it's very unfair" "What's wrong?" ”
"After coming to the magnesium country, I found that they are all spending our money, and there are really a lot of magnesium bubble economies in our economy."
"It's natural, there's a kind of economic plunder, and for a long time, we've been in a passive position, and even if Fei Lee wants to make changes, it's very difficult."
"How?"
"For example, many of our previous factories were all low-tech, and they were very polluting to the environment, and these Western capitalist families regarded the low-cost countries in the East as their own garbage dumps, allowing us to produce high-quality and low-cost goods for them, and then export and sell them to them, on the surface our economy is rising, but the real money, the people still can't make it."
"It's still very difficult for the common people in our country."
"Now at least a lot better, in the macroeconomic regulation and control, the country did not listen too much to some economists who have benefited from the West, all the way to the high position of our country, and the country's macroeconomic regulation and control, but also wrong overestimate the strength of China, on all kinds of things, the increase in exchange rates, the rise in housing prices, and our country is known as the world's first highway mileage. And high-speed rail. It's hard to imagine being in a country like ours. In just half a century, there will be so many changes. ”
"To put it simply, the people's money is spent on this?"
"That's right, do you say that it is easy for ordinary people, just the money accumulated by a lifetime of hard work is spent on reinforced concrete at once, look at the eighties of the last century. In terms of what is the annual output of reinforced concrete, let's look at the present. ”
"So the 2000 world financial crisis?"
"There will be another one this year."
"What?" Red Moon was very surprised.
Wang Yang is actually a simple guess, and he is not sure whether it is true, because in his previous life, there was also a financial crisis in 2008, but it was called the subprime mortgage crisis.
What does it mean, that is, the supervision of financial institutions is not enough, and the management of some leveraged capital is lax, so that many people use real estate leverage two or three hundred times of the funds to enter all walks of life, and in the end, banks cannot change money, and credit companies are bankrupt. Including the major bankruptcy of the real estate company, which eventually led to it from 2007 onwards. It has always been in a global financial downturn, and a kind of economic damage has existed almost all the time.
First of all, when the financial crisis, first of all, magnesium country, which has always been the largest exporter in China, to the magnesium country in the 21st century, it is hard to believe that 7 percent of all kinds of daily life in the United States come from "Made in China".
Of course, the current Huaxia, because of the support of advanced military science and technology, can be under the kind of traverser resources left by Li Feiteng, the technology is eaten as a national tax, and then the people are rich, pinned on the new generation, and more genius-type characters like Li Feiteng are discovered.
The reform of education should be regarded as one of the more successful things that China has done in this world at present, but it is only because Li Feiteng has a great influence on science and technology, but in terms of cultural influence, he has no sense at all, so people have basically not changed much in traditional concepts and thoughts, which is also a reason why some of today's somewhat deformed worlds have long been present.
……
……
On this day, Wang Yang and Hongyue finally came to see this house, which is called Specialeffectsmakeup, which means special effects makeup in English.
However, this name does not mean that it is very powerful, in the magnesium country, there is a school called MAKEUPFOREVER Makeup Academy.
This school has a title and is known as the "Harvard of makeup".
Special effect makeup, in fact, is a kind of makeup, plus in the makeup, some very oriental thinking is adopted, that is, some fillers, plus some rubber faces and other auxiliary materials to achieve a realistic disfigurement effect.
In ancient times, in many martial arts novels, you can see the existence of disguise, Wang Yang also feels that in fact, for the difference between ancient people and modern people, he thinks that it is not so big, the difference between everyone may only be in biochemistry, if you talk about wisdom, modern people are not necessarily how smart they are than ancient people.
Anyway, from the perspective of development, Wang Yang doesn't think that in a few hundred years, in such a short period of time, the brain capacity of the human brain will be greatly improved.
But from an evolutionary point of view, it must be that all human beings have always been progressive.
"These are the work of our company."
"The crow in the corner, the city in the sky, the man on the pirate ship......"
Wang Yang and Hongyue are very serious in this company with the abbreviation SEM, looking at some of their special effects makeup artists' more powerful works, makeup is different from other makeup artists, makeup is more required to show a more biochemical color, artistic color, simulation of realism color.
"I'm going to be a makeup artist who has a special idea for the characters."
"Alright, you follow me." The magnesium woman said, and took the two of them and continued to walk inside.
"Our special effects makeup artist Zack, he's a master."
That's probably what this woman said.
The servants came to a hospitality room, and after waiting for a while, there came a man who looked a little European and was not particularly strong, but his figure was actually a little soft.
The age is not particularly old, just in his twenties.
Wang Yang and Hongyue glanced at each other, naturally they were absolutely a little incredulous, because of such a young age.
However, Wang Yang is still very respectful, age is not everything, some people are born with their own talent in this.
"Zach, these two are our important guests and the people who ordered the movie."
After Zack shook hands with Wang Yang and Hongyue, he looked at Wang Yang and said: "Director, I can basically understand the style you want, but there are some details, and I still need to have some more certainty." ”
"Why don't we find a model and make a zombie first?"
"That's fine." Zach agreed.
Special effects makeup, Wang Yang is actually relatively unfamiliar, for Chinese films, special effects makeup is relatively rare, because the film industry has not yet formed a process of industrialization, all kinds of movies are less this and that, it is impossible to do it at will.
As far as Wang Yang knows a lot of movie stories, it basically presents such a truth.
The empty shell of the rocket launched in "Blooming Heart" is the one in the desert, and the story behind it is that the director found his own factory to make an iron one, and then transported it back to divide it after it was finished, and then made other products.
There is also the fact that when Director Feng was filming in 1942, there was no particularly professional aerial photography drone in China, so that a very large-cost war shot was almost all restarted.
There is also the lack of props in China, and it has reached a point where it is difficult for people to imagine, let alone props, imagine that a Li Jiacheng, the richest man in Asia in the previous life, and now it is also one of the top ten in Hong Kong, and he also made a fortune by buying toys, and toys need abrasives, and many props actually need these.
Of course, if it weren't for the base of 3D printers, there would be many, many games, movies and other peripheral works that would not be seen at all.
It can be said that it is exactly like a show where you have a play tonight, and for the talent of the movie, what is lacking is really not a little bit.
"Oh my God!"
"Even-bought karma!"
"It's scary." (To be continued......)
