Chapter 382: What's the Pandora Format?
For a long time after the Pandora format was introduced, this film format was a hot topic of discussion. The general audience naturally discusses its effect, with the Pandora helmet Pandora format of the movie looks like a real story that happened completely around you, you put on the helmet, play the film as if you are in the film, you can watch any scene, task, set, props at close range, you can move your position at will, switch different perspectives, of course, the perspective recommended by the film itself certainly looks a little better, but there are also such people in the audience, They look for the possibility of breaking through the convention, trying to find out the hidden differences in the Pandora format themselves, so they are surprised to find that in the Pandora format, you can see a lot of things that you can't see in the original film format, for example, when the original shot focuses on the face of the main character, you can't see the laughter on the face of the supporting characters at this time, or the ridicule on the face of the villain. But in Pandora, as soon as you switch the perspective, you'll be able to see what you want to see, and it's no wonder why the Pandora text is always unusually large.
Professionals are naturally not as addicted to the game that everyone comes to find fault with like ordinary audiences, they are more sensitive to technology, there is no doubt that the Pandora format is actually a panoramic reproduction of the movie, which means that this format is presented to the audience not only in front of the camera, it has a panoramic thing, the audience is like a god, can see the development of the story, the panorama in every moment of the story. For example, in a war movie, the audience can certainly follow the camera and follow the footsteps of the protagonist, but at this moment, the protagonist is not the only one fighting on the battlefield. The battle between thousands of army soldiers is also real at this moment, and you can see it. It's like bringing the world of the movie back to life and pushing you into the world.
It's no wonder that many people call Pandora's helmet a dream-like machine, and they feel that watching a movie is like a dream, and they naturally hope that the next step in the machine's progress is that they can be the protagonist in this dream. And not as a bystander. And now, this development that achieves their hopes seems to be unfolding in front of them, whether it is the new direction announced by Microsoft or the announcement of Kasuga, which makes them rejoice, and it is predictable that whichever game can be one step ahead of this battle, it will be more profitable.
Professionals feel that Pandora helmets are also influencing their work, because of the characteristics of the Pandora format, the most popular discussion in the industry right now is to be able to attract audiences under the Pandora format. How should a movie be filmed?
They don't even know how a Pandora-format movie should be made. Shen Zhenghui made the first attempt, and now the whole world is waiting for his effect to come out. The Apprentice of Magic prequel not only carries the hopes of Apprentice of Magician fans, but also attracts the attention of audiences who are looking forward to the new Pandora format. It's as if the technological revolution in Avatar has created a preference for visual effects. The immersion of the Pandora format has forced professionals to think about what is the main point of the Pandora format that attracts the audience. Although the current situation of Pandora format films is still a bit in short supply, it is clear that with the large number of film productions, in the end, the audience will have a choice, rather than what they have to watch.
It's like this. The prequel to "Apprentice to Magic" was released. The booked summer vacation schedule completely detonated the box office as soon as it was released. On the one hand, it is certainly the expectation of fans of Shen Zhenghui's new director, in fact, strictly speaking, the release of his works has not actually been broken, even if he slept in the hospital for more than a year, but when he started the camera again, he was still ahead of this era. Especially technically. Hollywood film directors pay more attention to the release of this film than film directors elsewhere, so to speak, this is a big breakthrough in the film industry after Cameron turned over in 3D and Imax, making movie theaters different from television, so short time. The effect is just the opposite of Cameron, he makes the effect of private cinema in a sense more than cinema, and even more fun, everyone wants to see if there is a shock effect, whether Hollywood is ahead of others in terms of business and technology.
So when the 3D and Imax screens, the magnificent scenes unfold one after another, even those who are used to looking around in the Pandora helmet can't help but be caught by the gorgeous shots, playing in the cinema, the storyline maintains a certain tension, this feeling of being grasped by the story is completely different from wearing a Pandora helmet to entertain yourself, but this does not prevent the audience from buying the movie and enjoying a different immersive feeling when the film is released in the Pandora format.
However, those same directors were not attracted by the superficial splendor of their attention, and they still had the mind to think: there should be more elements of post-production zuò in this picture, right? It is said that this was filmed in China, is the scenery in China so beautiful?
Because there are too many plots in the movie, Shen Zhenghui is unwilling to streamline, so the first part of the prequel is divided into two parts, "Up" and "Down", and the next part will be released a little later than two months, which is simply a conspiracy to dominate the summer vacation file. Many large companies also have to set up some kind of plan for their own movie arrangement, if the prequel has a fierce momentum, they will naturally not put their main film on it to be impacted, and can only try to arrange different types of films to attract different types of audiences. Some newspapers have claimed that this year's annual box office champion should undoubtedly be the prequel to "The Magic Apprentice", the upper and lower parts are released at the same time, if they can't get more than two billion dollars at the box office, this is a failure for Shen Zhenghui, and with a box office of two billion dollars a year, there is no doubt that Shen Zhenghui is launching a fierce impact on the status of Cameron and Spielberg.
And Spielberg and Cameron are sitting in the cinema at this moment, enjoying this serious work after Shen Zhenghui woke up, not only to watch the movie, but also to buy a USB flash drive containing the movie when the Pandora format movie is released. Now everyone's general consensus is to follow in the footsteps of Shen Zhenghui closely, so as not to be abandoned by the times. All of them believe that the Pandora helmet and the Pandora format of the movie is Nick. Anderson is the result of more than a decade of deliberate investment. It is not known whether Shen Zhenghui played a role in it, but it is clear that he was the first director to understand and use this format of film. Nature makes people think about it.
"I don't think it's much different from ordinary 3D movies!" Cameron whispered.
"Obviously, he's improved again," Spielberg stroked his beard incessantly, "and all the switching of perspectives is fairly fluid. It gave me a special feeling that I was sitting right behind the camera. ”
Cameron pouted, "I'm interested in Pandora-format shooting, I've heard that when shooting on location, it's all multi-camera shooting. ”
"Isn't that normal? You and I do this a lot. ”
"No, it's not, I think he used multicam maybe to better accumulate material for the perspective in the Pandora format, I really don't understand how to switch the perspective in the Pandora helmet, the position changes, the image changes completely, and it can also zoom in and out. unimaginable. ”
"Maybe the whole scene is completely realistic 3D modeling, with a computing module in it." Spielberg replied.
The people next to him couldn't stand these directors who could be distracted and used for two purposes, "I said, can't you two discuss it after watching it?" ”
So the two big directors closed their mouths.
However, their thinking is correct, and there is really no other way to solve the visual problem except for directly establishing a 3D virtual all-round model without dead ends. But doing so seems to be unusually costly.
Nick. Anderson took a method that best harnessed the power of known technology, and he directly took the story of the movie and fed it into the virtual world system. Let the computer replay the whole story in a virtual world.
Do you remember Shen Zhenghui's dream? In his dreams, he thought that he might be able to shoot a movie in the virtual world. And then take it to the real world to broadcast and sell, and that's how it is now, if you shoot it in the virtual world, you don't even need actors. Nick. Anderson made good use of the productivity he had, and if the cost was not calculated, the cost of the film transformation seemed to only pay for the hardware that was stored. But on the surface. To the uninformed, the production of Pandora-format films seems to be sky-high, although in the end they all earned back, but it is obvious that Nick. Anderson earns more.
After providing a network interface to a subsidiary in Tokyo. Tokyo has established a set of spare parts for a virtual system, which can also be used for the production of Pandora-format films, and a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" may be ready in 80 days, which is the result of Shen Zhenghui's great efforts to edit. But now, the cycle drags on to one to two years.
Superficial cover-up should also be done, at least Monty. The Pandora version of Ohm's 3D animation was made by himself and his team with a computer, of course, the virtual world system provides auxiliary help, which can help them save a lot of time in the already designed scenes and characters, and many of the later productions are nominally taken over by overseas studios, but in fact the virtual world system is in charge. Of course, Shen Zhenghui often has to play his role as a leading actor, and he just makes decisions on many designs. Now, the dilemma he is facing is that many things he expects must be thrown out step by step, and cannot have a big impact on society.
And Nick. Mr. Anderson, as if he had completely forgotten his original purpose in making these achievements, may have been just to make himself not bored in the basement of the underground anti-nuclear bomb, anti-alien, and anti-biochemical virus. Oh, and of course, maybe there's a salvation complex, you know, in that kind of world, people can use the wifi node in the basement to connect to the Internet and play an addictive online game to make people forget about the unpleasantness.
Whenever he thinks that the final result is such a painting style, Shen Zhenghui feels full of irony, and he can't help but want to ask Mitsumi Fukuda: Is there really an end of the world? Nick. Mr. Anderson prepared this for the end of the world?
Of course, it would be nice to be able to find out what Mr. Sauron had prepared for the end of the world, which could be regarded as a reference, but now it seems that the things that the two of them have prepared are related to the filming of the movie, and Shen Zhenghui is deeply benefited by it, "Or is he still an American businessman at heart?" ”
"I think the word essence is very good, and you can take their actions as a stress response after a thousand repeated experiences of the destruction of the world."
"Hah, what does that mean?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.
"It's like obsessive-compulsive disorder, you always feel lost when you don't do anything, especially if this memory is still formed through the body's memory."
"Is there a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
"Of course." Mitsumi Fukuda replied confidently.
"Speaking of which, I feel as if something is missing this year, as if something hasn't happened, but it hasn't happened, but I always remember it feeling like it should have happened."
"I know what you're trying to say."
"Is this obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
"This should be regarded as the dark psychology of you Chinese." Mitsumi Fukuda pursed her lips, "But don't worry, it's going to happen." ”
"You know what I'm talking about?"
"I know you've always wanted to remake Japan Sinking."
"Actually, I've never been interested in this film," Mr. Shen said, "Fundamentally, I prefer movies with a plot and characters driving the plot rather than the other way around." I'm still quite distant from Japanese aesthetics. ”
"Don't say this kind of thing outside," Mitsumi Fukuda narrowed, "hurt the feelings of your fans." ”
"Well, maybe after staying for a long time, I'll be less obsessive-compulsive, but a little numb." Shen Zhenghui sighed, "The current era always lacks a little idealism, which is a little disappointing. ”
"So how difficult do you think it is to prosper?"
"As I said, I prefer movies with plots to the other way around," he scratched his head, "but that's the case with modern society, after all, suffering is the better way to show the brilliance of human nature." ”
"What do you think of my plans for this Japanese studio?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked, she took out a plan, Shen Zhenghui had already read it, and felt that it was a little nonsense.
"For Japan, a studio is enough, right? That's too expensive, isn't it? ”
"There's an opportunity right away, and I think I have to take it as much as I can." Mitsumi Fukuda smiled and said, "I also want to do something for Japan." ”
"How difficult is it to prosper the country?"
"How difficult it is to prosper the country." (To be continued......)
