""Savage Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" revealed the second wave of trailers, and the special effects scenes are amazing."

This is the headline news report of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, accompanied by two stills in the report, one is Caesar standing in front of thousands of apes and shouting, and the other is Caesar and the leader of the giant clan Eugene looked at each other in a solemn atmosphere, and then wrote in the report: "In this summer file, the grand release of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan" recently revealed a new trailer, this video was broadcast on the global video website represented by Youtobe, compared to the previous trailer, This trailer further showcases the film's gorgeous visual effects, which are addictive.

As we all know, Lin Yuquan's movies have never lacked wonderful visual effects, even the earliest "Huo Yuanjia", in the case of extremely limited funds, still presented classic fight scenes, and then, "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin", "Hurricane Rescue", Lin Yuquan's every movie, has shocking visual effects, and as Lin Yuquan's highest investment film so far, it is also the longest film, only from the two trailers currently released from "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan", You can get a glimpse of the whole leopard and know the extraordinary response of the visual effects of the film."

"Unveil the amazing special effects of Savage Tales: Rise of the Apes."

This is a news report on the entertainment section of the Washington Post, and the picture accompanying the report is the monster in the second wave of trailers of "Savage: The Rise of the Apes", which wrote: "The Wild Story: The Rise of the Apes, which will land in the world on June 20, has attracted the most attention from fans around the world, in addition to the fact that it is directed by Lin Yuquan, extended with the best-selling novel of the same name, and super high investment." There are also the film's otherworldly visual effects. So how did the amazing special effects of "Wild Wilds: Rise of the Apes" come about?

Weta Digital, a four-time Oscar winner for Best Visual Effects for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong and The Chronicles of Narnia, served as the visual effects for the film. Using the special effects technology specially developed for "Avatar", the head-mounted motion capture camera captures the actors' movements, and for the first time, it stepped out of the closed studio environment controlled by the machine to shoot visual effects in outdoor scenes, which can be called another major breakthrough in the history of special effects technology. ”

And the headline of USA Today's report is even more striking: "Gorgeous and unparalleled visual effects, "Savage: Rise of the Apes" puts blockbusters to shame."

There is a paragraph in the report that reads: "In the 21st century. Visual effects have become an integral part of blockbusters, and play an increasingly important role in the impact on the box office of the film, 170 million US dollars, "Wild Wild: The Rise of the Apes" has undoubtedly become the most expensive film in Lin Yuquan's directorial career, and this high-budget super blockbuster has not lived up to everyone's expectations, the visual effects of the trailer are gorgeous, according to Lin Yuquan's previous films, the final visual effects scene of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" is definitely worth looking forward to

In recent years, including the blockbusters released this year, many of them have a higher investment than "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes", such as "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" with $300 million, "Superman Returns" with $260 million, "Spider-Man 3" with $258 million, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin" with $225 million, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Cassine" with $225 million, "X-Men: Last Stand" with $210 million, "King Kong" with $207 million, "Spider-Man 2" with $200 million, " 007: Quantum of Solace $200 million, Terminator 3: The Awakening of the Machine $200 million, Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight $185 million, Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 $185 million, Golden Compass $180 million, The Chronicles of Narnia $180 million, Mobilization of the Machine $180 million, Fake Gods 2 $175 million, and Troy $175 million.

However, these 17 big-scale zuò films. In particular, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "Superman Returns", "Spider-Man" series, "King Kong", "The Chronicles of Narnia" series, "X-Men: Last Stand", "Compass d'Oroy", "Troy" and other films should definitely be ashamed, and their proud visual effects were completely exposed in front of "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes". What's even more puzzling is that it's hard to imagine where their expensive investments are going. ”

"Smack." With a loud clapping of palms touching the tabletop, a dissatisfied voice rang out in a luxury villa in Los Angeles: "Isn't this nonsense? Completely ignorant of the situation, purely misleading fans. ”

As the producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, Jerry . Bruckheimer is deeply angry and of course aggrieved by the high investment in the film that "USA Today" questioned.

At present, outside reports on "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" say that the film has an investment of up to 300 million US dollars, making it the most expensive film in the world.

But in fact, how can the production cost of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" be so high, if there is such a high investment, Disney will not make any money, and the number one masterpiece of last summer's file will not be considered "Spider-Man 3" with an investment of 258 million US dollars.

In fact, the second and third parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" were filmed together, and the total production cost of the two films was only 450 million US dollars, of which the investment in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was only 200 million US dollars, which was not as high as the investment of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

There are such reasons, not only because "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was not ready for filming at the beginning before filming, and the scenes built in the Universal studio were dismantled and thrown away, and the reconstruction of these scenes alone made Disney throw away tens of millions of dollars in vain, and because of continuous shooting, so in terms of sets, the convenient method of location sharing can be implemented, so the main location shooting of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was solved as early as the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

The so-called $300 million is actually a total of $300 million for the production and publicity of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

Jean Jerry. Bruckheimer is not only aggrieved, if you look at the actual investment amount announced. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 do have a higher investment than Savage: Rise of the Apes. But here's the thing. Is the real investment in Savage Tal: Rise of the Apes $170 million?

On the surface, this is true, but in fact it is completely wrong, because the $170 million does not include Lin Yuquan's directing fee, as one of the world's most eye-catching commercial directors, how much is Lin Yuquan's directing fee, according to his past return on investment, if Lin Yuquan is willing to direct other films, some Hollywood studios are willing to pay $30 million plus box office shares. Therefore, the real investment of "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" should be $200 million.

Not only that, but the outside world agrees that the visual effects of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" are not as good as "Savage", well, he himself admits this, but the question is, shouldn't this be a very normal thing?

For commercial blockbusters, the cost of the film generally depends on two aspects, the actors' salaries and the production of computer special effects, compared to "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan". "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" is undoubtedly much higher in terms of actors' salaries. Depp's salary is $25 million, Orlando. Bloom and Kate. Knightley totaled $25 million, Chow Yun-fat $8 million, plus a number of other actors. The film's salary reached 75 million US dollars, plus the director's fees, his production costs, the actual production cost of the film is about 110 million US dollars, it is not difficult to imagine how much can be used for special effects after deducting shooting costs.

In contrast, the actors' salaries in "Wild Wilds: Rise of the Apes" don't cost much money at all, and the specific shooting doesn't cost much money, and the actual cost of special effects production is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars.

What's more, when considering the difference in visual effects between the two films, there is another factor that has to be mentioned, that is, the directors of the two films have the ability to grasp the special effects. Before filming the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, Verbinski could only be regarded as a good director, and he had little involvement in gorgeous visual effects, while Lin Yuquan had already demonstrated his amazing ability in special effects with works such as "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin" and "Hurricane Rescue".

After summarizing the above situation, in the face of the accusations of "USA Today", Jerry , who is a gold medal system. How Bruckheimer doesn't feel angry and aggrieved.

The same situation also happened to the producers of other films, "Superman Returns", which was reported by many media to invest 260 million and 270 million US dollars, actually invested only 223 million US dollars; Maguire's salary can be as high as 25 million US dollars, although the investment is 258 million US dollars, but the actual cost of special effects is similar to "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes". Remy's ability to grasp special effects is far inferior to Lin Yuquan, before directing the "Spider-Man" series, he mainly made horror films, and Sony Pictures' technical strength could not compete with Weta Digital; The total investment of "Troy" is only 175 million US dollars, but the remuneration including the director and actors is not a small amount, coupled with the high cost of sets, the cost of special effects is not as good as "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", and the investment of 180 million US dollars in "The Golden Compass" is also a huge salary for the main creator, and the cost of special effects is far from comparable with "Savage: The Rise of the Ape Race", not to mention Lin Yuquan, an X factor

Of course, for the producers of the vast majority of these films, they are just complaining about the situation, after all, "Wild Things: Rise of the Apes" has no substantial impact on them, and after the release of "Transformers" last year, they have also been questioned, you know, the amazing visual effects of "Transformers" is only $150 million investment, just because the special effects highlighted in the trailer of "Wild Ages: Rise of the Apes" are better, which makes them more questioned.

In fact, they are also very aggrieved for media fans to compare the special effects of "King Kong in Disguise" with them, everyone only sees that the investment of $150 million in "Transformers" is less than theirs, but they selectively ignore many things, first of all. "Transformers" doesn't have big-name stars. The actor's salary is basically negligible. Secondly, "Transformers" has received support from the U.S. military and a lot of advertising sponsorship, such as the U.S. military not only opened two air bases, provided 300 soldiers for filming, but also allowed film crews to be stationed in the Pentagon, which has not been open since 9/11.

Therefore, although the investment in "Transformers" is only 150 million US dollars, due to the existence of these two factors, the cost of special effects production in "Transformers" is as high as 125 million US dollars, which is more expensive than the special effects cost of "Wild Wilds: Rise of the Apes".

However, for those filmmakers who will be battling "Savage: Rise of the Apes" head-on in the summer. The visually stunning trailer of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" brought them more than just a grumbling about the love, but more anxiety, because the quality of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" will have a direct impact on their movie box office revenue.

Because it was directed by Lin Yuquan, although they had known that "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape" would become a blockbuster box office bomb in the summer file, but after the second trailer came out, at this time, many filmmakers found that "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape" was even better than they imagined.

In the face of such a situation, how can they not be in a hurry, for a while, film producers such as "Kung Fu Panda", "Confused Detective", "Wanted", "Machine Qì People Mobilization", and "Superman for All" have held emergency meetings. Discuss coping strategies

"I cut it. Oh, it's lunchtime, okay, everyone hurry up and eat. Lin Yuquan got up and said with a smile that the storm caused by the trailer of "Savage: The Rise of the Ape Race" did not affect him and the crew of "Heartbeat" in a small town in northern Michigan, and the filming work was carried out in an orderly manner.

"Oh, that's great." Many people in the crew cheered and cleaned up the props with quick action.

Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, after packing up his things, he walked to the place where he picked up the food happily, his work was indeed unaffected, but his mood was quite good, as a director, what he wanted to see most was that his works were well received by the audience, followed by profit.

Although the lunch time is not short, enough to drive back and forth to the town restaurant and have a hearty lunch, Lin Yuquan did not choose to do that, he is not a squeamish person, a hearty meal, he can eat at any time on weekends or when there is no filming, but during the filming, he always eats with the crew, in fact, this is not wronged himself, in terms of eating, he will never be stingy with the crew, maybe the food is not a delicacies, but it will definitely not be unpalatable.

"Wow, director, you've been named to Forbes magazine as one of the top 10 most outstanding single-body men in the world." Dakota is eating a sandwich and playing with her phone. Fanning exclaimed suddenly.

"Oh, where?" "Boss? This is normal, the boss is young and handsome, talented, and amazingly wealthy, he shouldn't be at the top of the list, who should be? "Hey, Dakota, who are you, for everyone." The crowd gathered for lunch immediately responded enthusiastically.

Lin Yuquan smiled and shook his head, but did not stop Dakota. Fanning read it to the others.

This year, Forbes magazine selected 110 bachelors with an average worth of $4.1 billion around the world, including pure bachelors, divorced and widowed, and among these 110 candidates, the 10 most outstanding single men in the world were selected for women around the world. Among them, the first is the director, who introduces the director as an outstanding commercial director with global attention, with a keen investment vision, 24 years old, single, with a net worth of $8 billion, followed by Fahd. Hariri, the late former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq. Hariri's youngest son, 27 years old, single, $2.3 billion; His Royal Highness Albert, the third youngest billionaire in the world, is the heir to the empire of von Thorn and the Taxis, 24 years old, single, with a net worth of $2.3 billion; Mark. Zuckerberg, the new darling of the technology era, the world's youngest billionaire, the creator of Facebook, 23 years old, single, net worth $1.5 billion; Li Zekai, the youngest son of Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, is 41 years old, single, and has a net worth of $1.4 billion.

"Sure enough, Dafa is worthy of being one of the top ten bachelors in the world, each of them is so powerful, of course, the director is the most powerful."

"That's for sure, but Mark. Zuckerberg is also powerful, only 23 years old, and like the boss, he is self-made. ”

"As soon as this list comes out, there must be many women who covet the director and can't wait to marry them, and of course, there will be many men like me who can only envy and hate."

Listening to the comments around him, Lin Yuquan couldn't cry or laugh, of course he wouldn't admit to being on this list, he actually had a little joy in his heart.

"It seems that everyone is in good spirits, in this case, we may be able to take more pictures in the afternoon." Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes.

"Oh, director, don't, it's finally Friday!" As soon as Lin Yuquan's words came out, there was an instant wail.

"Now I know, it's too late." Lin Yuquan smiled.

said so, but how could Lin Yuquan really process and shoot, as far as he knew, many crew members had already bought tickets in advance and would fly back at night.

Lin Yuquan himself didn't do that, he is back in Los Angeles now, and he has nothing to do, he will only waste time, if he flies to China, there is not enough time, hey, he misses his private jet waiting to be built more and more, so as in the previous two weeks, he continues to stay in the town, except for maybe going out to visit Michigan, the rest of the time to write his "Wild Tales: Hundred Clans".

After dinner, I returned to the hotel room, turned on the computer, and browsed the news about "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" and "Fatal Bend 2", Lin Yuquan immediately dialed Yifei's phone, Yifei has now finished the filming of "Liao Zhaiqi Woman", and will go to shoot "Old Boy" in a few days, and when the filming of "Old Boy" is finished, there will be a period of time between the "Empire of Babel" that will be launched in mid-May, and then the girl will fly to Los Angeles to accompany him for a few days, to be honest, although it has only been separated for more than a month, he has already missed the second daughter very much, but unfortunately, Two days ago, Shi Shi just joined the crew of "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", and as the heroine, she is expected to end filming until mid-August.

"Brother Yuquan, do you know? You've been voted by Forbes as one of the top five diamond kings in the world. Just chatted with Yifei for a while, Yifei suddenly said.

"Heh, I know, but Yifei, I'm not the fifth king of diamonds, I should be the fifth king of diamonds, my age is not that old." Lin Yuquan chuckled: "And I am such an outstanding bachelor now that you have caught it, other women can only envy you." ”

"Stinky beauty." Liu Yifei snorted lightly, but it was difficult to hide the happy mood in his tone: "Brother Yuquan, how are you going to spend the weekend?" ”

"Tomorrow, I'm going to go to Sault Ste. Mary in Michigan, across the river from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, where I can enjoy the view, eat the local food, and the day after tomorrow stay in the hotel and write a novel" (to be continued......
