After several months of filming, coupled with the outflow of various stills in the early stage, the audience's expectations for Raiders of the Lost Ark 2 have reached the launch.

And this day.

Raiders of the Lost Ark 2 has officially announced its entry into post-production.

The post-production team, under the vigorous recruitment of Hope Film and Television, has increased to a team of 400 people. The post-production special effects processing team directly accounted for more than 300 people. And almost half of them were recruited from abroad. Fortunately, during this period of time, Huaxia movies gradually became famous, and more and more people began to be unable to get along in the fiercely competitive Hollywood, and some of them ran to Huaxia, which has been in the limelight recently.

And the Modu Film and Television Alliance, which has the highest exposure rate, has naturally become the first choice.

Coupled with the popularity of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", when the crew recruited post-production special effects personnel. Soon recruited a lot of excellent special effects personnel.

As for why recruit so much. It's all about getting ahead of the introduction of movie restrictions in the United States. Make the film good and release it worldwide.

The post-production time is about 2 months, and everything has to wait until April, when "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" can officially meet fans.

And "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" is expected to be completed even later. At least it won't be officially completed until the summer vacation.

――――――

February 6, 2008, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Lin Mu put down his work in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" early and began to accompany his parents for the New Year.

Lin Mu's family has long since moved out of their original place and lives in a small area within the area of the Demon Capital Film and Television Alliance. All of the people who live here are the families of the crew members involved in the film. As soon as my parents moved here, they quickly got rid of the initial discomfort. Blended in here, in the words of Father Lin: "Your mother has found a new group of friends. I am dancing in the square every day, which is very hilarious! ”

"Square Dance~~~" Lin Mu heard this at that time. I couldn't help but immediately think of the feat of Aunt Huaxia in the previous time and space who took square dancing to the world, and couldn't help but cover my forehead and wipe my sweat.

Throughout the morning and afternoon, paste the door god, paste the Spring Festival couplets, paste the blessing word, paste the window flower, paste the New Year's painting, and paste the thousand ......

The traditional culture of this time and space is better preserved than the previous time and space, so the Spring Festival process is three or four times more complicated than that of the previous time and space. After completing a series of Chinese New Year's Eve procedures, Lin Mu was almost tired and weak.

The New Year's meal is the earliest in the year, and at four o'clock, the meal is already finished.

After eating, Lin Mu received a red envelope from his parents, and embarrassed Lin Mu's face: "Such a big person." Also receive a red envelope......"

Blushing ahah~~~~

Soon it was 20:00, and the family was sitting in front of the sofa, waiting for the start of the National TV Spring Festival Gala.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve is a very unified activity for the people of the whole country, and now decades have passed, it still has not changed in the slightest, and it is still an important entertainment item for countless families in China on Chinese New Year's Eve.

However, despite this, with the aesthetic fatigue of the people, it is becoming more and more difficult to do this Spring Festival Gala program, and the praise has been decreasing in the past two years. And the complaints are gradually increasing.

According to CSN ratings statistics, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve have dropped from more than 70 percent to more than 60 percent.

Soon the Spring Festival Gala began.

Lin Mu shrunk his legs and lay comfortably on the soft sofa while watching. While looking at this Spring Festival Gala.

"It seems that something modern is becoming more and more obvious......"

"There are so many songs, and many of them are praises of merit and so on......"

"The feeling of sketch cross talk or something is ...... in general"

Lin Mu took a closer look and compared the Spring Festival Gala in previous years. Indeed, many things are constantly repeated, and there is greasy taste and aesthetic fatigue.

"No wonder there are more and more complaints about the Spring Festival Gala ......"

In the process of watching the Spring Festival Gala. The phone calls came one after another, all of them to greet the New Year. At this time, it is estimated that it is the busiest time for communication in the country.

In half an hour, in 30 minutes, Lin Mu received 20 calls, an average of 1.5 minutes. And Tang Zongshi was the first to call, and Liu Hope and Xie Tingfeng followed.

Although Lin Mu has rarely given people phone calls over the years, he has accumulated over a long period of time, and many people have known his phone number.

The phone rang non-stop, and as soon as it was over, it came in, and there was no gap at all.

And Lin Mu's parents are constantly calling.

At ten o'clock, Lin Mu received a call from Liu Xi, only to see a dissatisfied complaint from the other side: "The big director is really busy, he made more than a dozen calls before he came in......"

Lin Mu didn't think it was wrong, but said proudly: "No way, who made me popular?" ”

"That's it, I'll go to Haizhu to find you in a few days~~"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Fan Ye smiled happily and squinted.

After chatting for ten minutes, Lin Mu received another phone call from Mizuki University, who said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, we have succeeded......

"Really!!" Lin Mu jumped in surprise.

"Hahaha~~3D, I'm here!!"

The "D" in "3D" is the first letter of the English dimension, and 3D refers to three-dimensional space. Internationally, 3D movies are used to represent stereoscopic films.

The principle of 3D cinema comes from the different visual angles of the left and right eyes of the human eye - the image of the scenery is different from the left and right eyes.

It uses two side-by-side cinema cameras, representing the left and right eyes of the human eye, to simultaneously shoot two cinematic images with slight horizontal parallax. During the projection, the two movie clips are loaded into the left and right movie projectors. When the picture is projected in front of the movie screen, a "subtle" double image of the left and right is formed.

The special polarized glasses can superimpose the left and right "double shadows" on the retina, and produce a three-dimensional visual effect from the brain nerves, thus showing a coherent three-dimensional picture, allowing the audience to feel the magical illusion of "immersive" scenery.

The market exploration of 3D stereoscopic films actually began as early as the 80s of the last century, when it was mainly dominated by horror films. For example, "Friday the 13th", "Devil May Cry 3", and "Jaws 3D", the audience seems to be more willing to accept the horror atmosphere with enhanced three-dimensionality.

But. Its disadvantages were quite obvious, and digital technology was not developed at that time. A set of cameras weighs thirty or forty pounds, and in the digital age, 3D cameras are less than 10 pounds. At the time of projection, the previous film 3D film had to be played on two projectors at the same time, and the slightest out-of-sync film was ruined.

This kind of 3D cinema was soon forgotten by the market, and filmmakers were no longer enthusiastic about 3D stereoscopic films, which were technically difficult. So throughout the 90s of the last century, stereoscopic live-action films have never had any big productions.

However, in the 21st century, film technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. A lot of technology is starting to support 3D shooting.

Just last year, in 2007, Lin Mu began to pay part of its attention to the research and development of 3D technology.

Lin Mu knows that "Avatar", which became the king of the world box office in the former time and space and brought the 3D craze to the world, has been preparing since 2007. Lin Mu also began to pay attention to the information of this movie early on in this time and space.

Fortunately, Lin Mu didn't see any news about Avatar on this plane (Avatar was created by Cameron in 1995 in the previous plane). Presumably it was harmonized by the butterfly effect. At the time, James Cameron was directing another movie.

However, Lin Mu is still a little vigilant, and the 3D technology should almost be able to come out, and then not out. This head will be taken by others.

At that time, the reason why "Avatar" could harvest so much horror box office. Part of the reason is the gimmick of 3D.

The Huaxia of this time and space is quite powerful. Although there is a slight gap between the technology and industrial level and the United States. But not very far.

Since then (2007), Lin Mu has invited hundreds of experts to form a 3D research team. Research and development of cameras, projectors, audio equipment, and operation processing systems.

During this period, dozens of foreign leading technology equipment were dismantled, and the cost was as high as more than one billion.

But these are secondary, and the most important thing is that the forest provides the key technology for this. The forest trees are connected to the network of pre-space-time in their brains. At this time, the time and space began to develop to 2020, and the technology about 3D is also developing rapidly. A lot of outdated technical data has also begun to be cracked and published. However, these expired technical materials have been obtained from the current time and space that has lagged behind for more than ten years, which is advanced enough.

In the last year. When Lin Mu sent out an invitation to develop 3D technology. All the invited experts couldn't help but be shocked by Lin Mu's idea. But when Lin Mu gave them some information, they began to become ecstatic. If he got the treasure, he also began to join the R&D team obediently.

In the outside world, many people know about this R&D team, but they don't know what this R&D team does, it has always been mysterious, and even almost all the employees of Hope Film and Television Company don't know, and only Lin Mu and General Manager Bihan know about it.

However, General Manager Bihan does not pay much attention to this part at present, and sometimes he is still depressed, and in addition to the special effects investment, the company has a huge black hole of capital consumption.

Now that it has just arrived on Chinese New Year's Eve, such good news has come, how can Lin Mu not be overjoyed? ?

"Good!! That's great!! ”

The next day, Lin Mu couldn't wait to get on the plane to Yanjing, and arrived at a building near Mizuki University at noon that day. The R&D headquarters is here, and Lin Mu specially bought a 3-story building here for research. I saw that the entire 3 floors were divided into pieces by glass, and there were a variety of green plants inside, which was super amazing at a glance, so that people could still feel the breath of nature after work.

Soon Lin Mu met the leader of the research team, Liang Zhenyu, a professor at Mizuki University, an old researcher in his sixties. He was wearing glasses that resembled the bottom of a beer bottle, directing a young researcher to debug a computer.

After seeing Lin Mu coming, he became happy and pulled Lin Mu straight to a laboratory.

"The camera and projector were developed two months ago according to the information you gave, and although there were a lot of problems in the middle, we were able to overcome them. But at first, after the images were projected. I didn't feel good, so I checked it out at the end. It was found that there was a problem with both the polarizer and the processing system. ”

"Now that's finally it!!" Professor Leung couldn't help but feel very excited.

Lin Mu looked at the two machines in front of him with data cables falling all over the ground, looking strange and unaesthetic, and asked, "These two are cameras and projectors??" ”

Very bulky. Especially the projectors. However, this is crude after all, and it needs to be further developed.

Professor Liang nodded, and introduced: "According to the technical information given by Mr. Wang, as well as foreign machine materials, this digital camera was made, which has two high-definition digital camera lenses, so that the 3D film picture has increased from two levels in the past to four levels, and has a sense of spatial hierarchy. ”

"We call it the PaceFusion3D camera ......"

"Pacefusion cameras? Good ......" Lin Mu praised it, because this name robbed the name of the camera developed by Cameron for the filming of "Avatar" in the previous space.

Soon Lin Mu put on polarized eyes and began to watch the film. This 3D film is a short film. The content is a wild scene, with grass, trees, and small animals, all shot at close range. In the process of viewing, Lin Mu can see and feel the obvious 3D stereoscopic effect, but ...... There are a lot of disadvantages.

The brightness is not high: if you shoot a night scene, it is estimated that it will look dark......

The resolution is not enough, the projection results are not as good as the 1.5K projectors in the previous life, and the images projected onto the screen are slightly blurry, and there is no way to form a good visual sense at all, just like watching an old movie from the 80s. This is only on the small movie screen, if you go to the two-story screen of the movie theater, it is estimated that it will be a splash......

Professor Liang probably understood Lin Mu's feelings, and explained: "Camera projector or something. There should be no problem, the key should be to deal with the system is not done well, if the system is updated and perfect. That should be a big improvement. ”

Lin Mu nodded, agreeing with his statement. A good system makes the technology better. Just like a computer operating system, a good operating system will be better than a bad operating system in terms of security and processing power. It makes your PC more powerful.

However, after only a few months, it can have such an effect, which is enough to surprise Lin Mu.

"You guys should hurry up and study it, and I'll think of a way to do it here."

Lin Mu finally allocated 50 million reward funds to the whole team.

Before leaving, Lin Mu made another request: "By the way, if you can, open another project - update the technology of expression capture and motion capture." It is best to attach 95% of the information of the expressions and movements of the live performance to the virtual characters (CG characters) generated by computer animation, so that they have a high sense of reality. If there is a shortage of people, you can recruit as long as you sign a confidentiality agreement. ”

Because of the expansion of 3D technology, this Spring Festival, Lin Mu is also very happy. However, in addition to the Chinese New Year, I am also paying attention to the Internet in my head that links to the previous time and space, and trying to find out if there is any relevant operating system technical information.

In addition to this, Lin Mu is also thinking about which movie he should shoot if the 3D photography technology is mature.

Is it Avatar?

Or Transformers?

Or is it something else?

"If you shoot "Avatar", it will take a little longer, and although all kinds of preparations have been done, the production time of more than a year and a half is absolutely indispensable."

"The basic script of "Transformers" is already available, and it only needs to be revised to form a 3D shooting script."

"There is also "The Matrix", I have always wanted to shoot it, but I haven't started filming it yet."

"Or Pirates of the Caribbean isn't bad......"

Lin Mu thought about it, and found that there were quite a lot of movies he could choose from. As for the TV series, the original plan could only be put on hold temporarily because of the appearance of 3D.

Just when Lin Mu was suffering and happy because of too many choices, suddenly news came from abroad that made Lin Mu extremely nervous and extremely painful.

Warner and Paramount jointly announced that the two film companies will work together to produce "The Lord of the Rings 1 - The Lord of the Rings Reappear", which is known as the ancestor of magic, and the director is to shoot "Titanic" James Brown. Cameron.

"Oh my God!!"

Lin Mu can be said to be dumbfounded: "Cameron actually took over "The Lord of the Rings"?? ”

However, what made Lin Mu even more stunned was still to come, "The Lord of the Rings" was announced to shoot 3D directly!!

Lin Mu: "......"

The world is completely chaotic. (To be continued.) )
