Chapter 175: The Pit Daddy of Special Effects (Redeem 420 Monthly Pass)

However, in addition to rewarding the special effects team, Wang Shang also asked Bi Han to draft a penalty decision, which Bi Han was responsible for releasing - the special effects team will be fined 90% of the floating salary (bonus) for this violation, which is equivalent to 80% of the salary!

And for a year!

This sudden move instantly made the special effects team members who were ecstatic about the salary increase hard.

But they didn't dare to resist in the slightest, because they were really wrong, and they were very wrong.

The rewards are clear, and when they are more loyal, they also make them more in awe of Wang Shang.

As for the second thing - the decision to postpone the release of "Jaws", Wang Shang thought about it for a while.

There are several reasons, one is whether "Jaws" can break out of the encirclement among the many blockbusters in the Chinese New Year, Wang Shang is not confident; Second, I feel that movies like "Jaws", where beach tourism occupies most of the space, should be more appropriate in the summer.

The third is that Wang Shang is showing a kind of attention and affirmation to the special effects team members, which can better stimulate their fighting spirit.

The time for the IMAX and 3D revolution in the film industry is gradually approaching, and Wang Shang needs to grasp the military spirit and prepare for the arrival of the technological revolution.

While straightening out the unreasonable plan, you can also gain people's hearts, why not Wang Shang?

……

The delayed release of "Jaws" announced by Tianwang Studio did not bring much anticipation to fans, anyway, compared to other new and exciting movies, this shark film is obviously not so attractive.

However, there are many media speculating about whether Wang Shang is not confident in this movie, so he deliberately postponed it, and whether it is related to some recent reforms of Tianwang Studio.

However, they soon stopped paying attention to the inconspicuous movie "Jaws", because the Chinese New Year file was about to start.

On November 15, "Love Apartment" won a total of 520 million box office in the 47 days of its release, and it is another movie with a small investment and a big return. However, the media is not surprised by the results of this movie, they are used to it anyway, and this movie can only be regarded as low-end compared to Wang Shang's big-grossing movies.

So the media only introduced it a little, and they didn't continue to pay attention to "Love Apartment", they wanted to put more energy into the New Year movies.

The first film released by Hanhai Group, "Xiuzhen Fengyun", which is the first film in China adapted from the well-known Xiuzhen novel on the Internet, has tens of thousands of fans of the novel and has been anticipated by tens of millions of online novel fans. The release of this movie can be said to have opened up a new situation for the online novel industry.

Immortals, who emerged from ancient mythology, have been legends for a long time since ancient times, and have been worshiped by countless Chinese people. Therefore, Xiuzhen still has a very large market in the country.

And in the past few months, Hanhai Group has started a vigorous publicity campaign, TV stations, bus videos, shopping mall videos......

Everywhere, it extended its tentacles to all corners of society.

Holding a flying sword, in and out of the green underworld, flying away from the sky, thousands of miles in an instant, between the bullets, turning over the mountains and the sea...... These splendid cultivation methods have shocked countless people after watching them through video clips.

"Is this Xiuzhen? What a **!! ”

"Look at that old man, with a palm, a giant palm appeared in the endless sky, grasping thousands of mountains in the palm of his hand! Domineering!! ”

"I like that sword immortal even more, with a command, countless flying swords flew out of thousands of lands, and then turned into countless sword rains and rushed towards the enemy under his command!! Countless kills in seconds,**!! ”

"That demon path is called domineering, as soon as the ghost flag came out, countless black skulls flew out, the mountain peak was directly swept away, and thousands of beasts instantly turned into dry bones! Stimulate!! ”

In just seven or eight clips, countless people feel a sense of spiritual shock.

"Looking forward to the release !!"

On November 19 (Saturday), "Xiuzhen Fengyun" was officially released, and the Hollywood blockbuster "The Birth of Batman" was also released at the same time.

On the day of the release, countless people with strong curiosity rushed to the theater, wanting to witness this special effects movie that cost more than 200 million yuan.

Rise of Batman? I'm sorry, but in the grand scene of traditional cultivation, its attraction is not big enough. You punch me and kick me, can you have flying swords, giant palms, ghost flags or something?

So most of the fans rushed to "Xiuzhen Fengyun", and there are many fans of online novels in it, as the first online novel to be adapted into a movie, they reciprocated with great enthusiasm.

Wang Shang was also driven to the cinema and watched.

At the beginning, the plot of the protagonist's Xiuzhen family being destroyed by another Jindan real person, although the fight scene is only a few simple tricks, and sometimes it becomes a little blurry and fake, but the scene is indeed very magnificent, which makes fans scream.

However, with Wang Shang's professional eye evaluation, this fight scene should have spent a lot of time and energy to make special effects, and this level of special effects cannot last for a whole movie, and the whole movie adds up to 5 minutes.

Sure enough, as Wang Shang continued to look back, there were scenes of small fights, and there were several very beautiful scenes in the middle: endless sea of flowers, endless wilderness, and tens of millions of mountains...... Wang Shang estimated that these should be the same as those suspended and steep mountains in the previous time and space "Avatar" Pandora Star were taken from Zhangjiajie and then used in the later stage.

After watching a movie, there are many advantages and disadvantages.

After the box office data came out the next day, "Xiuzhen Fengyun" got a total of 90 million at the box office, shocking the entire film industry.

This is the highest-grossing movie in Chinese history!!

Countless filmmakers exclaimed: "The box office market of this movie is getting crazier and crazier!! ”

The filmmakers were so excited that they seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood!!

Hot money investors see this scene and are also frozen!!

Major news media rushed to report on this breakthrough in history!!

The box office of "The Birth of Batman" is a bit bleak, with a box office of less than 50 million, although it is okay compared with the previous results, but compared to the terrifying 90 million of "Xiuzhen Fengyun", it can be said to be a fiasco~~

In terms of online evaluation, "Xiuzhen Fengyun" can be said to have mixed reputations.

"Took me into a new world of Hongqi, everything is amazing, thank you Hanhai Group for bringing me a magical journey......

"The four fight scenes are very well done, I can't help but get my blood boiling, and that endless sea of flowers is also very beautiful, I like the scenes, but what I want to say is - why don't you xx do more scenes like this? If you do too much, you'll die!! "I guess he doesn't know that if he gets too much, Hanhai Group will really die.

In addition to positive comments, there are also a lot of negative comments: "I feel that the plot is incoherent, and some details are a little incomprehensible, I heard that it is adapted from a novel, maybe it is a problem that I haven't read the novel......"

"The level of special effects needs to be improved, and if you look closely, those grand fight scenes are a bit anticlimactic, and the feeling of random addition ......"

"I can't say it's a person who cultivates truth at all, it feels like a composite version of an ancient martial arts film + several big special effects scenes, and there is a big gap between me and the full-screen fight, in a word, the pit daddy ......"

And those who have read the novel scolded directly: "What kind of movies are you making, it's so disappointing to me, bad movie!" ”

The reviews on the Mtime online can be said to be a film that has surprised and disappointed countless people, with a score of only 6 points, in the true sense of the word, it is a movie that won the box office with a gimmick.

But in any case, this song of 90 million already shows the success of "Xiuzhen Fengyun".

On the second day, the popularity of the two movies dropped a lot, but "Xiuzhen Fengyun" still got an amazing box office of 70 million, which surprised Hanhai Group!!

And "The Birth of Batman" only got 20 million, which can be called a foil harlequin!

"The Birth of Batman" is obviously a bit unsuitable, and it is not happy with Chinese fans, saying that the fight is not as good as the Chinese martial arts, and that the technology is not as good as those agents and science fiction films.

……

Just when "Xiuzhen Fengyun" was being released, Wang Shang had already got the first version of "Fast and Furious".

"It's been a long time coming~~~"

Wang Shang took a few studio professionals to watch it carefully from beginning to end, and thought it was very good, and it was on par with the one in his previous life. However, there are also some flaws that need to be improved, and after Wang Shang pointed them out one by one, they were handed over to the post-production team to improve and correct.

The one hundred and thirty-fourth

And "Death Comes 3" is still in hard work, and it is expected to be finished by mid-December.

……

Following the poor reputation and big box office of "Xiuzhen Fengyun", Beihai Film and Television Group's "Fantasy Continent" also began to be officially released.

"Fantasy Continent" is also the same as "Xiuzhen Fengyun", and the publicity is everywhere in the first few months of its release, whether it is on the Internet or in various video transmission places in reality, you can see the excitement of "Fantasy Continent" everywhere.

The scene of smashing the mountain with one punch and waving the sky full of fire clouds is no worse than "Xiuzhen Fengyun", and the promotion of the all-round trailer through the Internet and reality has naturally attracted countless fans.

Moreover, "Fantasy Continent" and "Xiuzhen Fengyun" are the same movie types in the minds of the audience, and fans who like big scenes and adventures will naturally not miss it.

On November 26 (Saturday), "Fantasy Continent" and "Heavenly Dynasty" officially landed in major theaters in China at the same time.

At the time of the premiere, it repeated the hot movie-watching tide last Saturday, and countless fans enthusiastically poured into the cinema to watch "Fantasy Continent", wanting to see what is the difference between this fantasy world and the Xiuzhen world.

And "Heavenly Dynasty", which has always been called an epic blockbuster by Hollywood...... What the? Epic? Compared with the historical Huaxia, this is also an epic?

It's better to watch "Fantasy Continent......

"Fantasy Continent", like "Xiuzhen Fengyun", achieved a shocking high box office of 80 million for the first time, and it quickly decreased, and his evaluation was extremely similar to "Xiuzhen Fengyun", all praising the huge fantasy fight scenes, which were only a short five minutes in total, and all the others were evaluating it as a martial arts film.

"Fantasy Continent" hurriedly came out to explain, saying that just those few scenes, each scene cost 30 million to 40 million special effects production costs, adding up to a total of 150 million households, and there are other grand scenes in the movie that are not fights, which require a lot of special effects fees.

The special effects are definitely the most naked gold eaters, and most of the money for the movie is wasted there.

When this explanation came out, countless filmmakers, fans, and production companies gasped: "**!! ”

"This special effect is too bad, isn't it? It even accounts for the majority of the production cost!! ”

In the end, Wang Shang considered that these news would scare off many production companies, and hurriedly stood up to defend the two group companies of Hanhai and Beihai: "Special effects are the development direction of films in the future, and now special effects need to use foreign countries, so it will naturally cost so much money." As long as Huaxia learns special effects technology by himself after experiencing labor pains, he can naturally reduce the cost of special effects and serve the movie. ”

"The future wave of movies is special effects, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you want to impact Hollywood, or even establish Chinese Hollywood, special effects must be mastered by yourself."

Although Wang Shang has only been in the film and television industry for four or five years, as soon as this remark came out, it also attracted the attention of many film and television people.

Subsequently, other film companies that have cooperated with foreign special effects companies also came out to complain, shouting that this special effects is not shallow, but some companies announced that they would continue to invest money in it to train their own special effects artists.

For a time, special effects became a hot word on the Chinese Internet.
