Chapter 352: The Return to the Digital Realm

The movie "Shijie Doomsday" can be said to be piled up with special effects lenses, a 150-minute movie, one hundred and twenty minutes of it all need more or less special effects shots, in a bad word, the acting skills of the actors in this movie can not be taken care of, but the special effects shots must be kept improving, Luo Yang understands this very well, and naturally grasps the special effects work of this movie very strictly, but it is very depressing that the special effects lens requirements of this movie are too high, and Poplar Special Effects Studio cannot complete this huge work at all, Luo Yang had no choice but to turn to Shijie's well-known special effects studio, the digital field special effects studio, and Poplar special effects was responsible for some corners.

Before the filming of this movie started, Luo Yang contacted the digital domain studio and asked them to make a sample film, and if Luo Yang was satisfied, he would hand over all the remaining special effects shots to the digital domain studio, but he didn't expect the digital domain to produce what Luo Yang asked for so quickly.

"Okay, when we arrange this grumpy consultant here, we will leave for the digital realm immediately, you hang up a phone call over there and ask them to wait for two days", Luo Yang nodded and said to Zhao Yang.

"Understood", Zhao Yang finished reporting the two things and left Luo Yang's office

On the Poplar movie side, Luo Yang and Zhao Yang had a very easy time, but on the other side, in a five-star hotel in Huaguo, Spike, the director of "Deadly Run 2", was very irritable, the box office of "Deadly Run 2" premiered in China was a terrible mess, and only more than 10 million Chinese yuan was harvested on the day of the premiere, which was 108,000 miles away from the box office that Spike originally imagined.

Therefore, when the assistant with an ugly face handed the premiere box office report to Spike, who was still unaware, he suddenly made Spike, who was not very good-tempered, angry, glared at the assistant and scolded: "God, this is impossible, are you counting wrong"?

"Mr. Director, I swear I counted three times because I also thought it was incredible", the assistant hurriedly stated that it was not his own work mistake.

"Then Weishenme will have such a situation, such a huge Chinese country, the box office of the movie premiere is only more than 10 million, the investor will kill me", Spike yelled angrily, the assistant looked at Spike helplessly and sympathetically, the box office this time is too miserable, if the investor knows, their anger will be vented on Spike's head, you must know that there are now more than one billion people in China, and there are more and more people who have the habit of watching movies, and the box office of the first release of more than 10 million is really unreasonable, You must know that this is not the kind of small-budget movie, and the box office of more than 10 million yuan in the premiere is enough to make those small directors ecstatic.

"What's the matter, weishenme's box office is so bad, have you found out the reason?" Spike's anger calms down and he asks his assistant why, and Spike is convinced that something must have happened to make the film's premiere so bleak.

"Figured it out, here's why", Spike's assistant pulls out a tablet and hands it to Spike.

"What is this thing"? Spike saw the screen full of Chinese and didn't understand what the assistant meant.

"This is Huaguo's post bar, which is equivalent to our forum in country M, there are various classifications, many Chinese young people like to chat and make friends on it", the assistant explained to Speyer, and also understood that Speyer couldn't understand the Chinese on it, and clicked twice on the tablet, and then the tablet's built-in translation software translated the full screen of Chinese into M Chinese.

"Unite, boycott foreign blockbusters, boycott "Deadly Escape 2", support our Chinese films", the Chinese language above was translated into M Chinese language, Spike understood it at once, and when he saw this title, his already ugly face was even more unsightly, and he clicked on this title angrily, and looked at the message inside, which made Spike angry, and it was full of content scolding Spike.

"Chinese people are so rude", Spike threw away the tablet, if he looked at it any further, Spike assured that he would be angry with the cerebral hemorrhage, and scolded angrily, Spike stared at the assistant: "Do you know the reason?" weishenme will cause such a situation"?

The assistant nodded, after learning that the box office of the premiere was only more than 10 million, Spike's assistant naturally investigated the matter in an unbelievable way, otherwise Spike's anger his assistant did not want to bear: "The cause of this incident was caused by Mr. Wang's interview with Chinese reporters at the movie promotion ceremony two days ago."

The assistant's reminder reminded Spike of this incident, indeed two days ago the reporter asked him about the "box office battle", thinking of this, Spike nodded and said that he remembered this incident, and the assistant then went on to tell Spike what happened, how the Chinese reporter distorted Spike's words, so that the Chinese young people were very dissatisfied with Spike's remarks, so there was this boycott.

"Shit, these journalists are so hateful, so disgusting"! Spike angrily scolded the Chinese reporter for a long time, and now the matter has finally come to light, it turns out that the root is in the distorted report of the Chinese reporter, Spike now also understands why those young people boycott their films, after this report by the reporter, but all young people who are a little enthusiastic will definitely be dissatisfied with themselves, so it seems that the premiere has a box office of more than 10 million, and it is really lucky.

After scolding for a long time, Spike calmed down, no matter how much he scolded here, it was useless, the matter naturally had to be resolved, otherwise maybe the boycott would get more and more intense, and maybe the box office would be worse at that time, thinking about the results after the box office fiasco, Spike shuddered, and hurriedly shook his head to shake off these thoughts, he must not tolerate things to continue to develop like this.

"In this way, first of all, increase the publicity of our film in China, and spend money to find two Chinese reporters to clarify this matter, it is best to find those influential media, and help me contact the embassy, so that the embassy can help negotiate with the Chinese government, and you can't use such despicable means to interfere with the box office of the movie", soon, Spike made up a few ideas, although he was overshadowed by the Chinese reporters, but now it is not to criticize those Chinese media who distort the facts, otherwise the Chinese reporters will be dissatisfied, Maybe the report will be even more unfavorable to their own films, the top priority is to clarify this matter first, so that Chinese young people stop this kind of boycott, to achieve this effect, there are only two ways, one is to open the way with money, let the Chinese media bite it by themselves, and have no time to care about the follow-up of the box office battle, and the second is to use administrative means to intervene, presumably the Chinese government does not want its own country's films to be treated like this in country M.

"This matter must be fast, otherwise those treacherous theaters will see that our movie has no interests and violate the contract to draw in advance, then we will really fail"!

Spike, who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, still grasps the severity of things, and after a series of orders, the assistant can't help but nod his head, admitting that Jiang is still old and spicy, and in this case there is still such a clear mind.

Seeing the assistant leave, Spike pressed his temple with a headache, although so many remedies have been used, but Spike doesn't know how big the effect is, sometimes once the seeds of dissatisfaction germinate, it is not so easy to eliminate, and then you can only take one step at a time, blame these damn Chinese reporters and that Luo Yang, especially that Luo Yang, if it weren't for his wild words, how could these reporters make up nonsense.

In addition, Spike hates Luo Yang, and swears in his heart that he will have the opportunity to definitely give this Luo Yang a good look in the future, unless the other party never wants to develop in country M

Just when Spike had a headache and tried to make up for the impact of this "box office battle", Luo Yang was also busy with his own affairs, and after welcoming the 3D film consultant introduced by Chen Yimou, after settling the people, Luo Yang stepped on the plane to country M, and the digital field studio was still waiting for Luo Yang to decide.

The plane flew in the sky for sixteen hours and arrived at L City, the capital of country M, this place Luo Yang also came for the third time, and he was more familiar, and walked along the airport passage towards the airport waiting room with people, and the digital field studio had already sent a car to pick up Luo Yang and his party.

Just like at the beginning, it was Mr. Will who came to pick up Luo Yang and his party, but obviously this Will couldn't remember that he had met Luo Yang, and when he saw Luo Yang, he shook hands with Luo Yang with a smile and greeted Luo Yang in Chinese: "Mr. Luo Yang, welcome to Country M."

This sentence made Luo Yang a little surprised, after all, when Luo Yang first met this Mr. Will, his Chinese pronunciation was still very weird, and the words were very unclear.

"Hello Mr. Will, I didn't expect your Chinese to improve so much", Luo Yang was a little surprised and gave a thumbs up to Will, you must know that Chinese is particularly difficult for foreigners to learn, anyway, it is much more difficult than Chinese people to learn foreign languages.

"Xiexie Director Luo's praise, in the past two years, the special effects business of Huaguo has gradually increased, and there are more and more Chinese guests who need to be received, so I have been practicing hard for a while, but Director Luo's meaning seems to have seen us"? Will was also very happy with Luo Yang's praise, and after accepting it happily, he quickly discovered the subconscious meaning in Luo Yang's words, and asked Luo Yang a little puzzled.

"Of course, but it was more than a year ago, when I was the assistant director and came here with my teacher," Luo Yang explained with a smile.

Will nodded, didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Director Luo, please get in the car, the company has prepared a hotel for you, you can have a good rest for a day."

"Xiexie", Luo Yang nodded, and led his group to follow Will to the luxury car sent by the digital realm to pick him up.

The hotel is booked by the digital field studio for Luo Yang and his party, and the room payment has naturally been paid by the special effects studio in the digital field, which is also the consistent habit of the digital field studio.

Luo Yang will naturally not be polite, peace of mind in the hotel, all the way tired, but also let Luo Yang a little tired, after a full meal in the hotel, Luo Yang will rest, as for the companions, Luo Yang did not have a hard rule that they must rest in the hotel, willing to go out to play or shop, as long as you don't go too far.

This time, Luo Yang came with the young directors of Poplar Company, Luo Yang also intended to let them see the world, and saw that Luo Yang did not forcibly ask them to rest, and went out shopping happily, after all, it is not easy to come to country M, at least bring some specialties back to the family

After a day of rest in the hotel, Luo Yang, who was full of energy, prepared the materials he needed, got into Will's car, and came to the digital field studio.

With Will's leadership, the reception lady in the digital field did not stop asking Luo Yang and his party at all, and Will directly led Luo Yang to Richard, the president of the digital field studio. Taylor's office, as for the young directors of Poplar who came with Luo Yang, have already been led on a tour of the digital realm studio.

"Come in", after Will knocked on the door, a voice came from inside the office, Will opened the door, took Luo Yang in, and said respectfully: "President, Mr. Luo Yang has arrived."

"Welcome, welcome", Richard. Taylor stood up from behind his computer and greeted Luo Yang with a smile: "Mr. Luo Yang, I've been waiting for a long time."

"President, I'll go out first", seeing that his mission was completed, Will nodded to Richard and left the office.

"Xiexie, I'm in trouble with Mr. Richard this time", seeing Will leave, Luo Yang smiled and shook Taylor's hand.

"The tenet of the digital field is that the customer's trouble is never a problem", Richard listened to Luo Yang's words, smiled slightly, and then invited Luo Yang to sit down: "Mr. Luo Yang, may I ask what to drink, coffee or tea, of course, red wine is also fine".

"Tea is enough, red wine can be tasted after our cooperation is successful, it is also a good choice", Luo Yang smiled and nodded, taking advantage of the gap between Richard making tea for himself, Luo Yang carefully looked at Richard's office, and saw that his eyes were full of various prop models and sketches, except for the desk in the middle of the office, the computer and the bookcase in the back, this room seemed empty.

According to Luo Yang's understanding, the reason why the digital field can do so much is because of Richard's leadership, and Richard's Jishu is top in the digital field, so it will attract so many special effects personnel to work and study here.

"Huaguo tea, my favorite drink, so I only have this kind of tea here, if Mr. Luo Yang doesn't like it, please forgive me", at this moment, Richard brought Luo Yang a cup of tea, more than ten tea leaves floating in the cup, the tea is green and fragrant, obviously good tea.

"Very good tea, and I've never been picky", Luo Yang nodded and smiled and took the water cup handed over by Richard, and after tasting it, he exclaimed: "The fragrance is natural, good tea is good, it seems that Mr. Richard knows a lot about our country's tea culture"!

"There, there, I pondered the bubble by myself, and I didn't study it seriously", hearing Luo Yang's admiration, Richard was a little proud: "Mr. Luo Yang, let's start working."

"Haode, this is also what I think now", Luo Yang didn't know much about tea culture, but just praised it casually, Richard's words were naturally in line with Luo Yang's meaning.

"Mr. Luo Yang, this is a sample film made according to your requirements, please enjoy it and see if you are satisfied"? Richard spun his computer and opened one of the files, and suddenly the sample that Luo Yang asked for appeared in the player, and the landslide cracked, the buildings collapsed, the car was thrown into the air, and then fell to the ground and rolled for a long time, Zuihou became a pile of scrap metal, and the sea water poured onto the shore, gradually flooding the city

"This section has a three-dimensional effect, although it is not very obvious without glasses now, but it will be better to cover one of your eyes", Richard explained to Luo Yang, Luo Yang covered one of his eyes according to Richard's words and looked into the computer, and sure enough, the three-dimensional effect was very strong, as if there was an immersive feeling.

"Mr. Luo Yang, does this sample meet your requirements", Richard asked with a smile when he saw the satisfied look on Luo Yang's face.

"Very good, this is the special effects in my mind, the digital field is really professional", Luo Yang sincerely admired, this kind of special effects, Poplar special effects can't be completed, even if Luo Yang invests a lot, but compared with a big special effects studio in the digital field, the difference is not only money, equipment, but also jishu and heritage.

"Of course, if we can't meet Mr. Luo Yang's requirements in the digital field, no other studio in Quan Shijie dares to guarantee that it can do so", Richard's words were full of confidence and pride, but Luo Yang didn't feel that Richard was boasting at all, because it was a fact, and the digital field did have this kind of strength.

"This is also my idea", Luo Yang nodded and smiled, praised Richard, and then continued: "Mr. Richard, my next movie is a disaster movie, called "The End of Shijie", which roughly says that Blue Star is going to be destroyed, and the whole Shijie is full of various disasters, and then my protagonists are looking for an ark that can enter the space flight in order to survive, so what I need is a real disaster scene, all kinds of disasters, floods, volcanic eruptions, sky collapses, etc., It's all my request for this movie", Luo Yang roughly described the plot of his movie.
