Chapter 111: Movie Special Effects Technology (Xie Demon Dragon Alliance Leader!) )

The branch of Beihang Group welcomed a unique guest today.

He's coming to jerk off...... Oh no, it was to buy an airplane, and to buy a scrapped plane.

This purpose is truly astonishing.

"Mr. Bi, welcome!!" A vice president of the Beihang branch came down directly to greet him.

"Haha, Mr. Huang, long time no see!"

The two are obviously quite familiar with each other, and they don't have too many politeness.

Bihan went straight to the point: "Take me to see it now." ”

Mr. Huang took Bi Han into a car: "Aren't you making movies?" What do you do when you buy a rotten plane? ”

Huang always knows about the current work of Bi Han, an old friend, and it is precisely because he knows that he will be confused. Why does a company that makes a movie want a plane? Can't fly normally, use it as an ornament? It's also unlikely that you will buy scrapped aircraft to dismantle and sell them.

However, if people want to buy it, there is no reason why they should not sell it.

Soon took Bihan to the large flat field where the scrapped aircraft was stored.

As a large-scale aviation enterprise in China, Beihang naturally has a lot of scrapped aircraft, and dozens of scrapped planes have been parked in Dapingchang.

"I want the kind of passenger plane with no damage to the appearance, the cheapest, more than 100 seats......"

"Is it okay for an aircraft that has disassembled the device?"

"Yes, we don't need to buy one that can fly, as long as it remains in good shape."

"If you want to be as cheap as possible, and you don't need to fly, it's going to be airliners that have removed the elements inside. Kobayashi ...... You take us to find a few planes in this condition. ”

Xiao Lin is obviously very familiar with the situation here, and he directly took a few people to several targets without looking at the information. On the way, Bihan could also see several planes being disassembled.

Mr. Huang explained: "The plane is full of treasures. The various instrument components and engines in it are all relatively expensive. In addition to recycling and reusing aircraft, it can also be sold to other industries. For example, the engine. It can be applied to large-scale industrial equipment, and it is a rare treasure outside. ”

"In addition to these, the aluminum skin outside is actually quite good, but there is no unified deployment in the industry yet, so the price of waste treatment is not high."

Bi Han smiled: "It's not high, I can save some money, my boss, I really don't feel distressed at all when I spend money, I am his general manager." ...... every day."

"Haha, isn't the generous boss bad? It's definitely good for you employees, too. ”

"Hehe, I really don't have anything to say about us, my salary is much higher than yours right now!!" Bihan said triumphantly.

"I'm jealous!!"

The two talked and laughed, and then looked at the four planes under the guidance of Kobayashi.

Bi Han looked at it, compared it, and finally chose one of the large passenger planes, although the color of the exterior is old, and the important things inside have also been hollowed out, but it looks more domineering in appearance. Bihan loved it.

"Sell it to you for 2 million, friendship price!"

Bi Han thought about it, this time the budget is 3 million, and the price is good: "Okay." It's only 2 million, but you have to promise me two conditions, the first is to cooperate with our propaganda. Second, repaint it. Just brush it up like the American Boeing 707 airliner, it looks like a new plane. And it has to be a little more flashy. Third, help lift the plane to the outskirts. ”

Soon an agreement was reached. Beihang agreed to cooperate with Tianwang International's publicity, while helping with paint painting and helping to move the plane to a sparsely populated suburb.

……

In fact, Wang Shang doesn't need to buy a plane to shoot the plane explosion at all, he can use the airline's aircraft explosion video as a clip, and "Death is Coming 1" did just that.

But Wang Shang is not ready to make such a rough production, what Wang Shang wants is to keep improving!

It's a simple four words, but it's not simple behind it.

For example, when an airplane exploded, Wang Shang wanted to buy a scrapped airplane, then create a live explosion, use the best camera to shoot all the scenes, and then use post-production special effects to make it look like it explodes in the air.

Just to make the scene of the plane explosion, Wang Shang had to pay about 3 million yuan to purchase things from the plane, blasting experts, and explosives.

There is also the problem of cameras, Wang Shang did not use domestic cameras, but specially entrusted the relationship to rent a few more advanced cameras from the United States, the particles are fuller, the light sensitivity is higher, and the picture quality is clearer and brighter.

The cost of the camera, from rent to film, is even more expensive.

However, the biggest head is not the two pieces mentioned above, but the post-production of special effects, and the estimated cost will reach more than 40 million.

At this time, Wang Shang had rushed to the United States with the studio's newly recruited technicians to look for a special effects production company to do post-production special effects for "The Grim Reaper".

Special effects will bring a stronger visual experience to the movie.

For example, in "The Grim Reaper", a character is directly cut off by a piece of iron, and the special effects will be more realistic, more terrifying and bloody.

Whether it's an airplane explosion or the slightest danger of death, the use of special effects can magnify that desperate, suffocating scene.

Although there are special effects technology processing companies in China, Wang Shang took a look and did not find anything that he was satisfied with.

Wang Shang went straight to Hollywood, Los Angeles, and visited several special effects companies, including the famous Pixar Studios, Weta and Framestore, as well as the lesser-known DigitalSquires.

Wang Shang watched the results of their special effects production, although the technology is not as awesome as the previous time and space, but it is already very good.

For Wang Shang's special effects requirements, several special effects companies said that there was no problem, but the asking price was very high.

Pixar is offering $5 million, Weta is offering $4.8 million, Framestore is offering $5.2 million, and the lesser-known DigitalSquires is only $4.5 million.

In the end, Wang Shang still chose DigitalSquires, the first is that the asking price is relatively small. The second is that the special effects technology it has is enough to meet the special effects requirements of "The Grim Reaper".

On top of that, DigitalSquires readily agreed to Wang's offer to invite the two special effects artists to China.

After the agreement is signed. Wang Shang rushed back to the magic capital with two special effects artists.

After the special effects artist was hired, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" began to be promoted on a large scale.

"The Grim Reaper is Coming" spent 5 million yuan to buy an abandoned plane. Used to shoot airplane explosion scenes!! ”

"Generous!! Tianwang Studio spent 50 million yuan to process post-production special effects for "The Grim Reaper"!! ”

"Director Wang claims to make a special effects blockbuster!! Let everyone feel the kind of desperate horror that death designed!! ”

"The cameras used to shoot "Death is Coming" are all rented from the United States, which are more high-end and atmospheric than domestic cameras!!"

After the news came out, countless Grim Reaper fans immediately went crazy and praised Wang Shang one after another.

"The king is the best!!"

"The king is mighty!!"

"Strongly looking forward to the release of "The Grim Reaper"!!"

"The conscience of the industry!!"

Zhao Baogang and Hanhai Film and Television Group, who played against the stage, were so angry that their blood pressure soared when they heard the news. At that time, when they were making the script, they considered all kinds of hot scenes, and some invited big stars to participate. So their expense budget is more than 100 million.

But now, "The Grim Reaper" suddenly announced that it was going to do special effects and took out 50 million funds. also said that he bought an airplane to make an explosion scene or something, and instantly compared "Death Comes".

Than the scene? People spend 5 million to buy an airplane to shoot the explosion scene!!

Than a gimmick? People spent 50 million to invite a famous Hollywood special effects company to do special effects processing!!

Now compared with "The Grim Reaper", "The Grim Reaper" is simply a cabbage, although it is bigger than "The Grim Reaper" in terms of investment, but in terms of gimmicks, it is indeed obviously a big difference.

Just look at the comments on the Internet, most of them are praising "The Grim Reaper" and Tianwang Studios.

And "Death Comes", although the investment is larger. But it is clearly not pleasing to movie fans.

"Pretentious, contrived!!" Zhao Baogang and Hanhai Film and Television Group secretly scolded Wang Shang. After thinking about it, in the end, I still forced my face hard, gritted my teeth and made a decision: "Increase investment!" Increase the budget by 50 million to Hollywood to invite special effects companies!! ”

Soon "Death Comes" announced: it will increase the budget by 50 million. It is used to invite Hollywood special effects companies for post-production.

However, in the eyes of fans, this move is a bit like picking up the teeth of "The Grim Reaper", so the enthusiasm is not high.

This result almost didn't make Zhao Baogang, who had high expectations, so depressed that he vomited blood.

The odds offered by the casino are starting to adjust as a result of this.

"The Grim Reaper" odds are 2.1.

"Death Comes" odds of 1.9.

Obviously. Despite this, the casino is still not optimistic about "The Grim Reaper".

……

July 20th. A notice was announced on the official website of Tianwang Studio-

The plane explosion scene will be filmed on July 26 at a distance of 3 kilometers south of Juma in Fangshan District, a suburb of the magic capital, and the general public is welcome to visit at that time. However, it would need to cooperate with the arrangements of the Working Group. Do not move around at will, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused great repercussions in the society!!

"You agreed to let us see the explosion?"

"Domineering!! I must go and see it!! ”

"It's the first time ever, I have to go see it!"

Countless fans have taken action, asked for leave in advance, and rushed to the magic capital from all over the country, and the magic capital and the surrounding provinces and cities are even more lively.

"Let's go see the plane first!!"

However, when they arrived, they were disappointed, and they didn't see any planes at all, only a field that had been leveled.

What's even more embarrassing is that in the center of the leveled venue, a big sign was set up, which read: "Sao Nian, why are you here so early?" If you have such vigorous energy, why don't you go to the regular foot-washing city!! ”

There is also a smiling QQ emoji in the back.

“……”

"I lean on !!" (To be continued......)

ps: The monthly pass is powerful, and I am working hard to code the word!! Pain and happiness......
