Chapter 534: Movie Special Effects

"When filming a film, when the models have to be moved, the crew can move them in any of three ways: by hand, mechanically, or electrically, and it takes a long time to move them by hand, because the model needs at least 24 movements in a second on the screen."

Lin Xiaoying became more and more surprised, is this really the big brother of the club? She only listened to these professional knowledge, they all seemed to understand or not, what 24 movements, she didn't understand if she wanted to break her head, she had the heart to ask, and she was worried that the other party's answer would be more outrageous, so she couldn't help but dispel this thought.

"Mr. Wang, as we all know, our Hong Kong movies rarely use special effects, so to speak, Hong Kong produces several highest-grossing movies every year, none of them use special effects, since the movies can be a big hit without special effects, why do you want to add special effects elements to TV dramas?"

"This question seems simple, but in fact it is very complicated, and to put it simply, it can be divided into two aspects."

"Mr. Wang, can you explain it to us?"

"Of course, first, the content of film and television works and the scenes in the film are completely fictional, and there is no zài in reality, such as monsters, as well as specific planets, etc., since there is no zài, but it needs to be presented in film and television, so professionals in this area are needed to create and solve it."

"This is very understandable, may I ask Mr. Wang, what is another reason?"

"Second, reality can be saved, but it is impossible to make a specific effect, and special effects are also needed to solve it."

Lin Xiaoying bit her lip and said angrily, "Mr. Wang." Can you explain it in more detail? ”

Wang Zichuan was dumbfounded, is it difficult to understand what he said? Ponder for a while. A more vivid statement comes to mind.

"I'll give you an example, like a movie script that asks someone to jump from thirty floors. In reality, it is impossible to make an actor do this, and no actor will do it...... Cheng Long? Cheng Long is not a normal person, and it is impossible to encounter such a script, so let's go to Cheng Long as a stand-in...... No actor wants to do this, which requires computer synthesis, and the other is that it can be presented in reality, but because the cost is too high or the effect is not good, it must be solved with special effects, such as the explosion of airplanes that are common in war movies. ”

"Mr. Wang. You just mentioned computer synthesis? ”

"I think everyone has seen the computer, now science and technology are changing with each passing day, especially in the movie, in 1977 in the United States released "Star Wars", the use of computer technology, after ten years of exploration, computer technology has achieved initial results, in this regard, we soar entertainment stunt department and the United States at the same level. Because the backbone of their middle is hired by me from the United States with a high salary, in addition to being responsible for the core technology, they also work part-time as mentors, and we set up a professional training class for Tengfei Entertainment. ”

Lin Xiaoying is a little proud of Tengfei Entertainment. With such advanced technology, Hong Kong is actually in a leading position in the world, and it is reported. What an inspiring thing!

"Mr. Wang, when it comes to movie special effects. All we think of is high-tech, but it's like ...... The scene here. It's really unexpected, can you explain it to us? ”

"Yes, in the filming of the film, in addition to the on-site shooting, the special effects also need a specific way of scenes, such as scenery, blue screen, model, digital skylight painting and other shots, in order to meet the requirements of keying, the actors will shoot in the blue screen studio, just like our studio, because in the blue screen studio, there is no scene, it all depends on the imagination of the actors, and it is also required that the emotional action of the performance is consistent with the scene in the synthesized picture, which is undoubtedly a challenge to the actor's experience and performance skills. It is very helpful for their acting growth. ”

Lin Xiaoying's face flushed, she still didn't seem to understand, but now she felt that this was normal, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all, she recorded Wang Zichuan's words word for word just now, thinking of the 24-grid question just now, her curiosity was great.

"Mr. Wang, I don't really understand the 24 grid you mentioned just now, can you explain?"

"24 squares?" Wang Zichuan thought for a while, then knew what Lin Xiaoying was asking, and couldn't help laughing: "This is very easy to understand, at a normal speed, the film can shoot 24 still pictures per second, changing the number of pictures shot in each second can create some basic special effects, more than 24 pictures per second will produce a slow-motion effect, on the contrary, if there are less than 24 pictures per second, then the action in the movie will be accelerated, so that it will appear more intense and exciting." ”

Lin Xiaoying closed the notebook with satisfaction, and before she knew it, she had filled three full pages, which were enough for her to go back and hand in the errand.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang...... cooperation! ”

Wang Zichuan said meaningfully: "In the future, we will cooperate often!" ”

Since Lin Xiaoying is a reporter of "Apple Daily" and an employee of his subordinates, the two still have some overlap in their lives and work.

Huang Xizhao saw that the interview ended so quickly, and ran over to compliment: "Mr. Wang, you are still so good, you sent the reporter away so quickly." ”

Wang Zichuan said: "The crew is normal, right?" ”

Huang Xizhao said: "Mr. Wang, rest assured, one qiē is normal, thirteen episodes have been filmed, and I plan to arrange the episodes to be broadcast on Asia TV Diamond Channel next month, two episodes a day." ”

Wang Zichuan was surprised: "Two episodes a day? Can you keep up with the shooting speed? ”

Huang Xizhao explained embarrassedly: "Mr. Wang, this is the unspoken rule of all TV stations in Hong Kong, to move the drama to the screen for experimentation, if the ratings are high, we will let the crew of "Zhu Xian" speed up the filming. ”

"And what if the ratings are low?" Wang Zichuan had a faint premonition.

Huang Xizhao said: "The ratings are low, so it will be cut in half, sometimes I hurriedly arrange the ending of the TV series, or directly broadcast other TV series, Mr. Wang, not only our Asian TV will do this, but also the wireless side, all of them are for the ratings, and the advertising business will increase in value if there are ratings, and the TV station can be profitable." ”

Wang Zichuan said tentatively: "Then what do you think of the ratings of the TV series "Zhu Xian"? ”

Huang Xizhao said: "This ...... I can't guarantee that a TV series with the theme of Xianxia is the first time in Hong Kong after all, and as the general manager of the TV station, I should make other preparations. ”

"You're doing the right thing! However, I believe that the ratings of "Zhu Xian" must have risen sharply. ”

Wang Zichuan has reason to be confident that in just half a year, "Zhu Xian" has sold well, only in Hong Kong, 500,000 copies have been sold, one out of every ten Hong Kong people has read Zhu Xian, and Taiwan has set a record of one million copies, and there is also a market in Southeast Asia, and its influence is no less than that of Gu Long.

Huang Xizhao looked inexplicable: "With the fame of "Zhu Xian", the ratings are not a problem, but there are also actions on the wireless side. ”

"What move?" Wang Zichuan saw Huang Xizhao's solemn face and comforted: "I already expected that the wireless side would fight back, don't worry." ”

Huang Xizhao said: "The wireless side has gathered all the leading Hua Dan and Xiaosheng to produce a TV series, Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, Lu Liangwei, Liang Chaowei, Lan Jieying, etc., and it is a costume drama, I am worried that this will affect the results of "Zhu Xian". ”

Wang Zichuan said: "Real gold is not afraid of fire, it's good to have action on the wireless side, let's let them see, ATV has been reborn, the rise is unstoppable, and they have the greatest ability to block it is in line with my mind." ”

Huang Xizhao smiled bitterly, Mr. Wang said so, he only had to fight with wireless, if it was Li's era, he was fully confident to take over the wireless offensive, but Qiu Degen has mastered ATV in the past few years, wantonly reducing the cost of production and reducing operating expenses to achieve the purpose of profitability, and many talents in the TV station have flowed.

This month, he took a lot of effort to save half of it, and he was about to face the attack of wireless Taishan, even if he had the trump card of "Zhu Xian" in his hand, he was still a little lacking in confidence, after all, the ratings of TVB have been pressing Asia TV in the past few days.

Wang Zichuan said the rise, remembered a lot of classic TV episodes, although he couldn't write the plot, but he could still remember the general content, and he could also express it, glimpsing Huang Xizhao's dry smile, Zhengse reminded: "Lao Huang, in the future, we must reduce the number of costume dramas, and shift the focus to fashion dramas, above the grievances of the wealthy, love and hate, and the ups and downs of the stock market, these are all scripts that ordinary people love to see, where there is such a talent, you can dig it up for me, you can also dig it up for me, wireless can also be there, Wei Jiahui of the screenwriting department is my friend, He has a lot of ideas about that. ”

Huang Xizhao was surprised: "Mr. Wang, how did you think of making a zuò fashion series, what is popular now is ...... Costume martial arts drama! ”

Wang Zichuan said in a domineering tone: "You don't have to ask about this, the audience is also aesthetically fatigued, can you watch martial arts dramas all day without being annoyed, do as I say, just shoot a TV series with a wealthy theme first, I think it's very interesting." ”

"Alright! I immediately ordered to go down, after "Zhu Xian" is finished, the new drama will start immediately. Huang Xizhao just hesitated for a while, and then compromised, Wang Zichuan is the president of ATV, if this face is not given, the position of the general manager should be replaced.

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "If you want to win TVB, you can't stick to the rules, we Asian TV have to create a few more high-rated programs, such as the Newcomer Singing Contest, Miss Asia Beauty Pageant, and Millionaire Program, these are just the beginning." ”

Huang Xizhao kept nodding, thinking of the Miss Asia beauty pageant, he couldn't help reminding: "Mr. Wang, Miss Asia's response exceeded expectations, and many constituencies couldn't catch up with the finals because of time. ”

Wang Zichuan said: "This is okay, you can collect the list of participants before the year, and the constituency should not be limited to Asia." (To be continued......)
