442 Technology Doesn't Mean Everything?
As Han Yi expected, Dengfeng International's negotiations with Universal Pictures were full of twists and turns.
When Wu Jing reported the plan here, Universal Pictures vetoed it and resolutely disagreed;
Then Dengfeng International sent the special effects PPT made by Tianyi to the past, and after thinking about it for three days, Universal Pictures gave the answer: technology does not represent everything!
Wu Jing was not discouraged, and personally rushed to the headquarters of Universal Pictures in Philadelphia to communicate with the producers.
The details of the negotiation will not be expressed, but Universal Pictures has once again reversed itself on the premise that it has clearly agreed.
Agreed to Dengfeng International to join one of the special effects producers, and excluded Tianyi's Light and Shadow Vision Co., Ltd.
Wu Jing's ideas about stunts are based on augmented reality technology, and if Tianyi is not allowed to join, what is Dengfeng International going to do?
20th, Sunday.
Today is the "Great Cold", Wu Jing called Han Yi in the morning and conveyed the meaning of the world.
Han Yi was not annoyed.
If you think about this kind of thing, you all went to other people's turf to grab food, can the American Special Effects Alliance agree?
But then again, businessmen are profit-seeking, and no matter what alliance of interests they have, nothing is absolute in the foreseeable market outlook.
The other party can think about it for three days, and after Wu Jingfei goes over, he agrees to hand it over to Tianyi, which at least shows that Universal Pictures is willing to cooperate with Tianyi;
It's just that some interest coalitions put pressure on them, and they eventually had to compromise.
Since Universal Pictures said that "technology is not everything", Han Yi wants to see if technology can break Hollywood's intertwined alliance of interests.
In order to find a stable way to make profits for light and shadow vision, Han Yi spared no expense this time!
Let the light and shadow vision rip off the classic special effects scenes of "Super Eight" and re-use augmented reality technology to simulate and create.
He just wants to show Universal Pictures what real technology is?
......
Since we want to let those Americans see the level of special effects production of Tianyi, it is necessary to analyze it in depth.
"Furious Eight" begins with a five-minute drag racing scene in the exotic city of Havana, Cuba.
Vin Diesel drove a near-scrapped car through the streets and alleys, the body caught fire, but the person was unscathed.
This scene has always been talked about by people and is known as one of the classic scenes of Super Yari.
Especially when he was halfway through the drag race, he saw that he couldn't catch up with the Cubans, so Vin Diesel pulled something off with his hand below, and the tattered old antiques under his seat accelerated like eating Wei and Ge, and soon caught up with his opponent.
After a deep digging by Tianyi, the old car that Vin Diesel drove was a Chevrolet Fleetline, produced between 1941 and 1952, equipped with a 3.5L inline 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine.
However, it was modified with a turbocharging system.
And what Vin Diesel pulled off is called a "wastegate pipe".
You know, our turbocharged models currently on the market, this wastegate valve is not closed at full throttle, only part of the exhaust gas is used to flow through the turbine, and part of the exhaust gas is bypassed.
Pull off this pipe, so that the wastegate valve will be closed, all the exhaust gas will flow through the turbine, and the boost pressure will instantly increase a lot, so the antique classic car in the movie will explode instantly.
But the consequences of unplugging this tube are serious, not only causing serious damage to the engine, but also indirectly affecting the brakes.
And the Chevrolet Fleetline that Vin Diesel drove is also old after all.
So everyone also saw that the cabin was on fire.
In view of this, Light and Shadow Vision remodeled the classic car and Vin Diesel as a whole, starting from the details.
When Vin Diesel pulls off the pipe, the video is from God's point of view, so that everyone can intuitively see the exhaust gas pressurized in the pipe;
And when the engine compartment is on fire, the camera advances, and the raging flames scorch the windshield;
Tongues of fire raged through the side window panes, scurrying into the cab and licking Vin Diesel's body;
Vin Diesel's eyebrows on his face and the hairs on the backs of his hands began to curl, and the sweat particles on his forehead were visible.
Its soul-stirring scenes make everyone who sees it feel like they are there.
Whether it's a car or a person, it's so realistic that no one suspects that it's a virtual scene created by augmented reality.
Looking back and comparing the original film, there is no comparison at all, and the two are judged!
......
Then there's the villain Seifer played by Charlize Theron.
Remotely "hijacking" a private car on the streets of New York to confront the "Furious" family.
The streets are full of zombie cars, and it rains on high-rise buildings, and the scene can be called hot, making people's blood boiling, blood, and spraying!
But everyone knows that it is unrealistic to shoot such a choking scene in the largest metropolis in the United States.
In this section, the director used a lot of CG special effects;
In order not to let the audience see the real or fake, the scene was also shot at 22 frames per second, and the feature film was played back at the normal 24 frames per second, so that the locomotive action would look faster than the scene.
Plus the "street replacement". It's a glimpse of the New York Public Library and Times Square, which were actually filmed in other cities.
Let's not talk about the filming technique and street substitution, this is the director's business, Tianyi Technology focuses on CG special effects.
This is also a difficult technical job.
You can't make the audience feel like "Damn, this shot is so realistic, I almost believe it!"
"It's not going to be a real shot, is it?"
None of this counts.
After all, the audience realizes that "this may be fake", which is simply a play.
Its classic CG is to say that the heroine in "Fifty Shades - Gray" is a fruit play.
Since the actors have the habit of shaving their body hair, the director gave her the following P **** in the later stage.
I guess no one knows that Mao Mao is P.
As for the choking fire on the streets of New York in Super Eight, everyone knows that it is impossible;
If it weren't for the tense and exciting CG scenes, the audience's adrenaline soared to the point that they didn't have time to think about the question of truth and falsehood, and it was estimated that the play would be played in minutes.
Don't Americans always talk about big scenes, big productions, Han Yi will let them see what a big scene is this time?
All CG is "live-action".
cut out the daily video footage of New York Street, and then fused that section of zombie cars with car rain pictures to make a production.
The picture made can no longer be described as shocking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is magnificent.
The whole process is high-energy, and the audience is presented with the most "real" drag racing scene with the largest picture wide-area.
Super Eight also uses zombie cars, and the light and shadow effects are directly used to hit the moving car;
All the cars that fell were shot in close-up.
Of course, the final "sports car vs. nuclear submarine" must not be missing.
In short, those directors can't deceive the audience, and the things that are brushed by the Spring and Autumn brushwork are all perfectly reproduced by the light and shadow vision.
......
A team of more than 40 people spent 9 days to create a 15-minute special effects album.
After that, it was sent to Dengfeng International.
Yanjing Haiding District, 1st Floor, No. 16, Zhufang Road, which is the headquarters of Dengfeng International.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Keliang, the head of the CG team of Dengfeng International, was doing picture construction in front of the computer.
At this moment, the mobile phone on the table rang, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was the boss calling.
"I'm Zhao Keliang. What does Brother Jing command......
Good... Good... I got ......."
While speaking, Zhao Keliang showed an excited look on his face.
Since the last time I watched the PPT made by Tianyi, Zhao Keliang is very envious of Tianyi's augmented reality technology.
How much trouble can people save by "building" a person, a car, or even an airplane out of thin air directly through digital graphics technology?
It's a pity that those domestic directors don't want to take advantage of this, and think about finding little fresh meat all day long, which is really stupid.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Keliang opened his mailbox and received the video from his boss.
Once downloaded, pick up your mouse and click play.
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
The opening scene of Super Eight immediately attracted Zhao Keliang's attention, and he found that the CG technology seemed to be ......
"Damn—"
Zhao Keliang slapped the table and exclaimed.
"What's the matter, boss......"
Dozens of people in the CG group all gathered around.
When everyone saw the roaring tongue of fire licking Vin Diesel's cheeks on the screen, everyone's goosebumps rose.
"Oh......! This one is also infiltrating......"
Several girls couldn't help but rub their arms.
However, this is just the beginning.
The picture of the zombie car battle "Rush" family in the back makes the augmented reality technology of light and shadow vision vividly depicted.
What is CG, the light and shadow vision all give you a "real person" impact.
"Bang bang bang-"
"Da Da Da-"
Its ultra-realistic scenes made the people in the Dengfeng International CG group forget the time.
After the 15-minute screen was played, everyone's mouths opened wide, including Zhao Keliang......
