Chapter 259: What Is Really Cool?

When the war between "Fatal ID" and SAW3 ended, the most media attention revolved around the youngest phenomenal director Zhou Shaoming and the veteran director Peter . The box office battle between Jackson.

However, for the battle between these two directors, the media is more optimistic about Peter. Jackson, after all, after watching the trailer of "The Lord of the Rings", the whole country is full of affection and curiosity about the wonderful and epic medieval world.

"You can't expect three hundred warriors in pants to achieve much success." The Sun reporter quickly forgot the wounds left by the last war, and still bombarded Zhou Shaoming with impunity.

On the other side, Frank, the chairman of Lionsgate, seems to have formed an alliance with The Sun, and Frank, who had been depressed for more than half a month after the failure of SAW3, seems to have regained his strength, and there are a lot more words at this time.

"Although there is no movie that has not yet been released, I know from watching the slightly magical trailer that Smith Chow, who has left Lionsgate, is no longer as talented as before. It can be seen from the trailer that compared to the epic magic masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings", "Spartan Three Hundred" is a completely bad movie! ”

However, The Lord of the Rings director Peter. Jackson is an old man, and he didn't say much about the competition between him and the young and vigorous Smith Chow, and remained silent, but everyone could see that the other party also cared very much about the power of the director, and was nervously preparing his own film, and the propaganda offensive was wave after wave.

The time is October 27th, Zhou Shaoming is still working hard, time is too precious for him, in just five or six months, he has to complete the year-long film production in the original time and space. Even if he is not afraid to spend money. In order to save time, the use of real-life combined green cloth technology, as well as the use of more powerful and personnel advantages of industrial light and magic and the annexation of Xiluo's special effects company, but still a little clumsy.

The first thing Director Smith Chow does is come to the special effects production department and continue to supervise the progress of the whole work.

As soon as Zhou Shaoming walked into the studio, George, the assistant of the special effects director Ciro, had already walked in front of him with a smile on his face: "Boss." You're finally here, come and see what I did last night. ”

“OK。 You worked overtime last night, and you are still so energetic this morning, worthy of being a young man. Zhou Shaoming smiled. He patted him on the shoulder, not realizing that he was as young as George, and walked over to the computer.

George listened to Zhou Shaoming's words. His face glowed red, and he was a little excited. It was as if the praise of the father of chainsaws had made him a little unable to find the north.

"Boss, you are also very young, you are the youngest and most successful director I have ever met." George trotted all the way to Zhou Shaoming's side, with a smile on his face, and said with a slight compliment.

Zhou Shaoming can see too much about sycophants, and he has been praised proudly from before. I don't like it until now, but I'm starting to like it less. Seeing that George, a young man, was patting his ass, he just smiled noncommittally, and then said: "Okay, okay, play it for me, if the effect is not good, you are busy today." ”

"Oh, I forgot." George hurriedly opened the professional software on his computer, and then clicked on the scene he had designed yesterday.

Soon, there was a picture of yellow sand all over the field, gloomy and depressing, everything was done according to Zhou Shaoming's requirements yesterday, and with the transfer of the camera, Astino, played by Christian, appeared on the screen in a scarlet robe.

Because Zhou Shaoming took special care of it when he left yesterday, he wanted to make the clothes more eye-catching, so when Zhou Shaoming came to see this scene again today, the strong color difference was clearly reflected, and all the surrounding backgrounds seemed to highlight the blood-colored Spartan robe, so that the flowing blood overflowed.

Astino's image at this moment, like a raging flame, where the flame went, slowly left black and red blood stains, the switch between fast and slow motion was relatively smooth compared to yesterday, much faster, one fast and one slow, highlighting the bravery of the Spartan warriors, the scimitar in his hand was like a sleeping devil, from time to time to transmit a deep light.

Zhou Shaoming clasped his fists to his chest, stared at the computer screen, and watched the entire clip without blinking his eyes, and after it was over, Zhou Shaoming just smiled and nodded at George, and said one word: "Perfect!" ”

Just such a word, but it brought George a stronger pleasure than taking stimulants, and he struggled hard all night, for the boss's words, isn't it? So at this moment, George only felt that his heart was beating faster, and his face did not look tired after the night, and he became extremely excited.

After watching this clip, Zhou Shaoming seemed to have a feeling of unfinished, and said to George with a smile: "George, you hurry up and complete the production later, and I will ask Ciro to inform the other teams to work harder." I'm waiting now, waiting for Sparta to regain its glory! ”

"OK, boss, I'll definitely complete your mission." After listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, George hurriedly patted his chest and assured Zhou Shaoming seriously.

"Well, just work hard, just do this." After speaking, Zhou Shaoming patted George's shoulder, moved his footsteps, and came to John, the industrial light and magic special effects producer who was also red-eyed and worked hard to get the movie on the big screen as soon as possible.

At this time, John was manipulating the mouse, and it seemed that he was still cutting something, and he was engrossed until Zhou Shaoming walked to his side, and John came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Boss, good morning." ”

Zhou Shaoming responded with a smile: "Well, good morning, John." After saying hello, Zhou Shaoming went directly into the theme and asked, "John, have all those characters from yesterday been inserted into the movie?" ”

John didn't speak, but directly opened a document, and then clicked play, before saying to Zhou Shaoming: "It's done, boss, you can take a look, but the background and the tone of the picture inside were designed by George for me, speaking of which, I have to thank him." ”

Seeing that John was so modest, Zhou Shaoming smiled with satisfaction, and then glanced at George with an approving gaze, and looked at the picture in front of him.

Yesterday, John only designed those grand and spectacular images, but now he has added creative and warlike images to the movie.

The background and color palette have been adjusted by George to maintain a consistent dark style, and there is nothing to be desired.

And the huge rhinoceros on the screen, full of flames rising into the sky, because of the great pain, and irrationally waved its thick four hooves, frantically only knew that it was moving in a straight line, rushing towards the Spartan warriors, the shock of the earth, the roar of the warriors, at this time all in sight.

As it went on a rampage, the flaming rhinoceros's huge, sharp horn pierced the chest of a Persian warrior who stood in the way, and a torrent of blood flowed out of the unfortunate man's body, but the rhinoceros ignored it, shook its head and threw the corpse aside, and continued to rush towards the battle formation of the Spartan warriors in a frenzy.

Zhou Shaoming could even clearly see the muscle contraction on this monster's body, the scorched black lines under the flames, and the crazy and ferocious eyes of the rhinoceros when it was facing death.

As if the whole ground was trembling, in the face of such a monster, the Spartan warrior did not flinch, still young Astino, carrying a cold spear in his hand, standing in front of the Spartan warrior holding a shield to form a battle array.

Handsome and sunny face, chic and brave movements, Astinos faced this rampaging behemoth, threw the spear in his hand violently, and then, the spear that rushed away went straight into the monster's head, bringing out a splash of blood, but the monster just shook its head violently, still like a monster rushing out of the forbidden land of death, opened its mouth and roared, the sharp edge of the horn was cold light, and rushed towards Astino like thunder.

But there was no fear or fear on Astino's face, he just stood at the front of the whole team so quietly, his blood-colored robes moving lightly in the wind, just such a person, facing a monster.

The camera shifted from Astino's young and resolute face to his back, and it could be clearly seen from behind that the monster was still rushing towards the young Spartan warrior, even Zhou Shaoming, the director, was sweating for him, and then the camera kept moving down, and the whole picture was the scarlet robe of the Spartan warrior.

When the picture finally freezes between Astino's legs, you can see through the gap between his feet that the huge rhinoceros has lost its life, falling to the ground, moving helplessly on the ground due to inertia, and finally stops at Astino's side.

After slaying such a huge monster, Astino did not have any pride on his face, as if he had done something insignificant, and then pulled the spear that was already in front of him from the head of the giant rhinoceros.

HOHO, creative and perfect VFX! Zhou Shaoming secretly praised in his heart, because of the potential stimulated by competing with each other, Industrial Light and Magic also showed 120% of his ability, and the visual impact of this scene on the screen was simply indescribable.

This will let the audience know what it means to be really cool! (To be continued.) )
