Chapter 308: Eighth Master Yuan

readx;

In Hollywood, the current special effects companies are actually quite simple, because no company has begun to use special effects on a large scale. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info or computer special effects, it was only after the release of Terminator that everyone really began to pay attention to it, and then countless special effects companies were established, and then countless special effects companies went bankrupt.

The special effects are on the Hollywood side, that is, they are popular, and they are not popular. The most popular thing is that when you receive an order, the price is often very powerful. But the reason why it is not popular is that the special effects company in the early stage, if there is no continuous list, then the eventual closure is the norm. Not to mention the lowest-level special effects companies, even those large special effects companies are closed down or transferred, which is a normal thing.

It's no wonder that in the future, those special effects companies will shout higher prices than the other, it is completely because the initial investment is too large, there is no stable source of income, and seeing a customer is not slaughtered, it is a complete waste of resources.

Special effects is a rather money-burning industry, and it's not unusual for a few seconds of footage to cost millions of dollars. Li Mingbao's future film career will definitely expand very widely, especially in the mainland market, which is a place not to be missed.

Therefore, such a company must be established, and the sooner it is established, the better. For others, the special effects company is still in danger of losing money, but for Li Mingbao, to open such a special effects company by himself, just for his own movies, you can share the cost very low, the horror film market is a major field of special effects, especially high-cost horror films, the use of lenses in special effects is not a small amount.

Raising special effects with movies is a good way out for Li Mingbao. After the development of a certain scale, there will be additional oil and water after receiving foreign orders. Therefore, Li Mingbao attaches great importance to the matter of special effects companies.

And Li Mingbao's attention is Mary's attention, so it didn't take two days for DreamWorks' special effects company to be officially established. And put all the special effects technology used in the company in the past, and then use the movie as the benchmark to expand the territory purposefully.

In fact, Li Mingbao attaches so much importance to special effects, and now he has established such a special effects company, with the idea of raising special effects, and there is another unknown purpose, that is, to open the gap between companies.

DreamWorks has come to this point by a complete accident. But since Li Mingbao is determined to make this accident his own background, for the horror film market, it is natural to have some means to block the eyes of others.

DreamWorks' current advantage in horror films is that Li Mingbao has brought most of Hollywood's famous horror film directors into his company, but this is not a strong barrier to other companies entering the market.

After all, people on the Hollywood side, as long as they have interests, it is not surprising what kind of actions they make, even if they can't dig into the corner of Li Mingbao, when they see that there are large profits, they will cultivate a group of suitable directors and carve up the market. For such a situation, Li Mingbao has no way to solve the problem from the human level, so he can only solve the problem from the technical point of view.

The special effects company is the key, in the era of rampant special effects in the future, even low-cost movies will use some cheap special effects to raise the level of their own movies. After Li Mingbao established a special effects company, he could directly block some speculative small companies from this type of film, because they didn't have the funds to engage in this thing, and the quality of the movies they made would be lower, which was obviously a foil to the status of DreamWorks.

This company alone can block the eyes of many people who are greedy for the market. If they entrust DreamWorks to produce special effects, then their creativity will be used by DreamWorks, if they don't entrust DreamWorks to produce them, find another special effects company to do this, there will be a big problem in cost, plus they don't have a clear idea of special effects, they will waste more money, and Li Mingbao's low cost, they don't have any advantages.

The most important thing is that special effects are so expensive, not that his single technology is very expensive, the key is that the special effects companies that have explored in advance, they don't know which special effects can be used in the movie, and once developed, it is a blockbuster, even if the price of a technology is not high, one piece of technology, it will cost people's lives, and in the end, their costs will be difficult to control.

But a person like Li Mingbao has a very complete main line, he doesn't have to work hard to make a lot of useless techniques, and then among these useless techniques, he selects useful techniques, and his special effects company can walk in the right direction. In this way, his cost will be the lowest cost among all special effects companies, but the effect is the most cutting-edge, on this piece alone, mature special effects companies can save hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars every year, and other special effects companies widen the gap.

Not only that, but the company can also rely on the perfect effect of special effects to exaggerate the investment amount of the movie, the special effects that could have been done with 10 million US dollars, Li Mingbao spent 50 million US dollars to get this special effect, which can also increase the company's momentum, and outsiders can't blame anything, because other people's special effects companies do have to spend so much money to get the same effect as Li Mingbao's movie. How could Li Mingbao not see all kinds of benefits, so he had high hopes for the special effects company.

Of course, now DreamWorks' special effects company has just begun to get up, and even the most basic research and development will have to wait for the company to stabilize, and it will take at least half a year to play a role. So after Li Mingbao gave Mary an order, Li Mingbao began to be busy with other things.

It doesn't matter if a boss like him is irresponsible, or that his brain is too jumpy, anyway, Li Mingbao's thinking is quite clear, because there were not many people available under him, so he had to worry about everything, but now that there are so many suitable talents under his command who are doing things for themselves, they have to do everything themselves like in Hong Kong, and they are purely looking for something to do, and such a boss is similar to a contractor.

Li Mingbao told Cameron before that he would add an action director to the filming of the Terminator. Li Mingbao will definitely not be able to do such a thing himself, although he himself has also learned Wing Chun, he is not too big or too small to be a master, usually five or six people, he can win it casually.

But a person who can fight does not mean that his movements are good-looking. There are two ways of martial arts, routines and actual combat, and the routine is the kind of thing that plays well but the actual effect is not obvious, but the actual combat pays attention to one hit must be hit, and it will knock people down at once.

Li Mingbao knows this kind of practical things, but what is needed for film shooting is that kind of routine thing, which pays attention to aesthetics, and if you want to show the fist and embroidered legs on the movie, you also need professional knowledge and experience, these things, Li Mingbao will not know at all.

So if you want to achieve the martial arts stunts in the Terminator, you must find a person who knows how to do it, Hong Kong's martial arts instructors, after twenty or thirty years, are quite famous all over the world, but now, those martial arts instructors can only hang around in Hong Kong, many famous instructors in the future are still doing miscellaneous work, and there are not many people who can really be famous. And Li Mingbao knows even less.

But there are two people, Li Mingbao will never forget, one is Yuan Baye, who is now working with Chen Long quite happily, and the other is Lin Zhenying. Yuan Baye's awesomeness does not need to be explained, and he will be indispensable in the action director position here in Hollywood in the future. But Lin Zhenying, everyone's biggest impression of him may be Uncle Ying's Maoshan Taoist role, but few people know that Uncle Ying mixed Hollywood earlier, earlier than anyone else, Uncle Ying directly followed Bruce Lee, and was Bruce Lee's action director, and even reached the point where Uncle Ying would not make films if he was not in Bruce Lee.

If Bruce Lee hadn't died early, Uncle Ying would definitely have mixed quite well in Hollywood. But as soon as Bruce Lee left, Uncle Ying's glory also declined, and it wasn't until the back that he filmed Maoshan Taoist that Uncle Ying became famous from another angle.

If you want to talk about your understanding of Hollywood, Uncle Ying must be much better than the eighth master. But Li Mingbao thought about it, but he didn't plan to let Uncle Ying come over, but asked Yuan Baye to come over to help. It's not that Li Mingbao underestimates Uncle Ying's ability, it's mainly Uncle Ying's set, which doesn't quite fit Li Mingbao's impression of the Terminator, but Yuan Baye's good-looking design is in line with Li Mingbao's mind. And Li Mingbao also thinks that Uncle Ying's market should be an actor in Hong Kong, not an action director in Hollywood, if a genius like Uncle Ying is brought to Hollywood, who else can carry the flag in Hong Kong's fantasy movies?

When Li Mingbao was thinking about things in Hollywood, Yuan Baye in Hong Kong, who was also the second monk, was confused. Speaking of which, when Yuan Baye and Li Mingbao were in Hong Kong, there was not much intersection at all, or this is still a gold statement, in fact, Yuan Baye did not even meet Li Mingbao a few times, even if those few meetings, in fact, it was not a separate meeting, but a group of people to see Li Mingbao. Li Mingbao and Yuan Baye didn't say a word at all before this phone call.

is such a two people who are not even general friends, but Li Mingbao suddenly called Yuan Baye to go to Hollywood and have a job for him. Such a call made Yuan Baye not know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Hollywood, everyone knows that it is a good place to make money, especially Li Mingbao, if it weren't for the money made in Hollywood, he would not have become a role that cannot be ignored in the Hong Kong film industry, even people like him have to look up to people...
