Chapter 291: Do You Think I'm Sick?
After practice and understanding, there is still a lot of magic, and Lin Dong has already completed casting spells with his bare hands.
I don't know if Xu Lang will go to the scene.
If he can go, he can give him a hair growth spell on the spot, which will definitely blow up the audience.
Of course, it can only be just words.
If he really planted Xu Lang's hair, he would probably die happily, and he would never shave his hair in order to cover up for Lin Dong.
The crew of "Monster Hunt" also saw Lin Dong magically a few times.
But no one connected this to magic.
Lin Dong finally realized one thing: even if he grabbed someone and told people very sincerely that he knew magic, it was estimated that no one would believe it.
Monster hunting uses a lot of virtual characters.
Playing against the air is a test of an actor's ability, and many scenes and interactions have to be imagined by themselves.
Lin Dong originally didn't like this play, but after he actually acted, he realized that he had encountered a new challenge.
Wanting to act in a blank green screen environment with air is really a test of a person's imagination and adaptability, and sometimes even the director can only rely on imagination to judge how well the actor plays.
That's what I think.
Oh, that's what I thought.
After the communication, neither of them understood what the other party thought.
The director had to get someone to play all sorts of virtual roles so that he could finally understand what was going on.
But this is still not enough, whether it can be made or not, that is up to the people of the special effects team.
There is another kind of person that cannot be missing on the scene of this movie - special effects personnel.
Xu Chengyi, who was born in Hollywood DreamWorks, did not hire a special effects team from Hollywood, but used a domestic Base.
"Pacific Rim", "Change 4" and "Special Forces 2" are all made by this company.
It is a well-known film and television special effects company in Asia, with the largest film special effects team in China, and production bases in many places, with a team of more than 300 people.
The person in charge of communicating with Lin Dong about special effects is a young man named Hu Hailang.
Hu Hailang is a fat man.
After graduating from school, I plunged headlong into Base.
Take the lowest salary, and rush to the life of the exhausted.
When I applied for the job, I told him that if he wasn't busy, he would leave work at 6 o'clock.
In fact, there's never a time when you're not busy, and the workload is basically about 2.5 times that of other companies.
With a high workload, he had to rely on food to maintain his physical strength, so the young man who was less than thirty years old had already eaten a weight of one hundred and eighty pounds.
However, the guy's enthusiasm for work is very high.
tirelessly explained to Lin Dong what he needed to do with the special effects and what kind of effects he could make his work into.
Lin Dong listened to it speciously, and when he was fine, he always liked to pull Hu Hailang to talk about special effects.
He once asked Du Qixi to help find someone who knew how to play special effects, and planned to establish a special effects team belonging to Kleist's own family.
As a result, Du Qixi searched and searched but did not find a suitable one.
Regarding the special effects team, Lin Dong didn't want to find an unreliable person - otherwise he would have asked Pei Baohu to work on special effects before.
You'll have to find someone who knows how to do this.
If you don't develop, you won't be able to burn money at all.
From Hu Hailang, Lin Dong learned that the current special effects factory is not doing well.
Digital Domain, which Cameron participated in founding, went bankrupt in 2012, and then changed hands several times, and even Maben Film and Television accepted it, but after only half a year, he realized that it was a big hole and threw it out.
Digital Domain is not the only one in financial crisis, ILM was acquired by Disney in 2012.
When Lin Dong was chatting with Hu Hailang, he found that although this guy was not very old, he really studied the special effects very deeply.
"Monster Hunting" is a domestic project, but Base attaches great importance to it.
Being able to hand over such an important project to him shows that Hu Hailang is really level.
"What do you think of Base?" Lin Dong observed for several days, and finally planned to start.
"It's good, what's wrong?" No matter what you think in your heart, it is absolutely impossible for an outsider to denigrate your own company, especially if there is a partnership.
"Can it represent the future of domestic special effects, and can it lead domestic special effects personnel to catch up with and surpass Hollywood's special effects team?"
Lin Dong began to talk to him about life and ideals.
The question is profound.
Hu Hailang was silent for a moment and shook his head.
Because the owner of the company Base is actually a native of the United States.
To put it simply, it is a privately owned enterprise owned by foreigners, which has grown from a small team of a few people ten years ago to a scale of more than 300 people today, and there have been several turbulences in the middle, but it has persevered and developed steadily.
Base's ability to survive in an environment where special effects companies are generally losing money and even going bankrupt is inseparable from an important factor, which is to use cheap domestic labor to produce projects with relatively high prices abroad, that is, to receive foreign orders.
This is something that no other foreign special effects company can compare.
His success has also attracted a lot of foreign capital to set up special effects companies in China or India.
This contribution may be able to promote the development of the domestic special effects industry.
But BASE is still just a processing factory, compared with some big foreign special effects companies, BASE just uses cheap labor to process foreign goods, and after the fame arrives, use the fame to process domestic goods at the same time.
It is not possible to represent the future of special effects in Chinese films.
People won't give you the real thing at all, you're just a screw on the assembly line.
"Are you interested in shouldering the heavy responsibility of the future of Huaxia film special effects," Lin Dong asked with anticipation.
“...”
People didn't speak, but Lin Dong knew this kind of look.
You're sick.
But it's normal to think about it, if someone comes to you and asks if you're willing to shoulder a future.
You probably have the same expression as him.
Lin Dong pulled him aside, the two of them squatted in place, and Lin Dong began his great cause of fooling.
Finally, he solemnly introduced himself and said: "I am Kleist's boss, I want to get a special effects team and shoulder the responsibility for the future of special effects in Chinese films, do you think I am sick?" ”
"Shhh...... You are...... No, no, of course not. ”
Hu Hailang shook his head again and again.
The previous assumption, if you were to be told by a big guy, you really have to think about it seriously.
Maybe it's something you don't know you have.
Now it's appreciated.
Start the lucky mode of your life.
"I'd like to ask you to finish this with me." Lin Dong stretched out his hand to him.
"But I'm just an ordinary special effects artist, I don't know enough things......" Hu Hailang is at least an honest man, he said embarrassedly: "Even if we have money, it is impossible to get special effects out of thin air, our special effects in China and Hollywood are still at least ten years away." ”
