Chapter 328: Exposure

The Raiders of the Lost Ark trilogy, although still a long way from greatness, is undoubtedly a classic, and he will not be absent from the list of any authoritative commercial film classic trilogy.

Even decades later, in the era when the heroes have crossed over, the humorous scenes and action scenes in the film will still be imitated by commercial films around the world.

As the originator of adventure films, his status in the rivers and lakes is undoubted, and the heroes can still watch these old films with relish after watching these old films decades later, which is the charm of the classics.

However, as a remake of this time and space, Ying Shuai cannot completely follow the original film, as a film known for special effects, almost every part of the Raiders of the Lost Ark trilogy has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, but if the special effects of the original time and space are copied over, Ying Shuai himself will find it unchallenging.

So he actually made a lot of changes to the special effects scenes when shooting, and the consequence of this was that the special effects shots increased a lot, so he also deleted some irrelevant details to make the plot more compact.

As a consequence, the shooting cycle was greatly shortened, while the post-production time was much longer.

So during this time, almost all of the heroes spent time in industrial light and magic, even if the special effects have cheating across time and space software, but the production of special effects shots is still a complicated and time-consuming work, and every detail is slowly cut out.

Fortunately, Yingshuai does macro command work, similar to the creative director and technical director, only the problems that technicians can't solve need him to help, as for the specific modeling and mapping work, where can he do it himself.

Even though he was tortured for a few weeks, he didn't have to do it anymore, and looking at thousands of detailed drawings every day was enough for him to be busy.

Fortunately, under his guidance, Tony and other technicians have developed a rapid technical level, and the level of the works produced has also improved by leaps and bounds. Now when Tony is asked to look at his previous works, he feels miserable, which is a side effect of the improvement of his vision.

"Ying Shao, come and see this!"

On this day, Hero Marshal came to ILM as usual, but saw Dennis grabbing him with worry and asking him to watch a video.

"Looks like I'm right, Tony's computer has been tampered with. Ying Shuai said lightly.

"Oh cake seller! Ying Shao, don't you feel angry at all? This is the thief act of Chi Guoguo, they not only steal, but they also dare to put it on the Internet, this is a demonstration to us. ”

Dennis, the entrepreneurial director of Industrial Light & Magic, saw that Yingshuai was indifferent to the video in front of him, but he couldn't hold his breath at first, and he burst into a rage.

It turned out that the video he showed to Yingshuai was the rat tide special effect made by Tony last time, which was put on the Internet, and it broke hundreds of thousands in one click, and this special effect is really shocking for the current audience.

This is an audio-visual feast for the audience, but it is not a good thing for Yingshuai, which means that the movie is exposed in advance, and if the audience has no freshness to the film, how can they spend money to go to the theater to watch the film.

This kind of exposure is different from the filmmaker's planned exposure for promotional purposes, the clips are uploaded in high-definition format, and everyone can download and view the details, so it's easy to find fault and lower expectations for the film.

"Dennis, don't get excited, we didn't expect them to get the video, it's not a big deal. Yingshuai comforted.

But after listening to this, Dennis's worried expression did not subside at all, and he frowned and said: "But Ying Shao, have you noticed that this video has been greatly improved compared to the one Tony originally made, and the jamming and jagged phenomena almost no longer exist." ”

As soon as he said this, a trace of solemnity appeared on the handsome face.

But he smiled again: "Yes, this is what I'm most worried about, the other party got our CG software, so it seems that this worry has come true."

The video leak is actually not a big problem, we can say that it is a crude version, and the video with better results is released through official channels to remobilize the audience's interest, but the other party has obtained the software, and what will happen next is the most worrying. ”

Hearing Yingshuai's words, the worry on Dennis's face became more obvious, but he couldn't think of a way for a while.

。。。。。。。。

At Pierce's headquarters, Jobbus sat opposite a middle-aged man with a slightly bald forehead.

This middle-aged man's name is Cattermole, who is the founder and soul of Pixar, and Geebuus is the same as the original space-time, but Pixar's funding boss, of course, he also contributed a lot of creativity and technical support.

Catmore said: "Steve, it seems to be working well, the video we let people put out has broken a million views, and now the rhythm of the other party's publicity is going to be disrupted." ”

Qiao Busi said: "Hehe, this is just an appetizer, Yingshuai wants to use special effects to open the moldy market, this is the cultural invasion of Chiguoguo, how can we, as moldy people, let him get his wish." ”

Although Cattermor does not have such a strong national pride as him, it is also unpleasant to see that a Ming man has mastered special effects technology more than himself, and as an operator, he thinks more.

Carter said: "Yes, he should be dumbfounded now, but this can only harass him for a while, but I am afraid it will be difficult to stop his movie." ”

"Yes. Jobbus nodded.

He picked up his coffee and took another sip, but smiled mysteriously, "Carter, do you remember our rabbit project?"

Carter asked suspiciously, "You mean the project that was finished but found that the post-production was too difficult and gave up?" Do you want to restart the project because the film is still eating dust in the warehouse?"

Jobbus smiled but didn't answer, but his look confirmed Carter's guess.

Seeing him so hurriedly, Carter said: "Steven, you can't be impulsive, although I also hate the Ming people, but I have to admit that the other party's technology is indeed much ahead of us, if they agree to help us make the post-production, there is no problem with the restart of that project, after all, the film has been filmed, but... ”

"But the other party said that they want to make their own company's projects, and they can't spare people, right?" said Jobbus.

Carter nodded slightly awkwardly, they had actually been in contact with ILM at the beginning, but they were rejected, which was one of the reasons why Gebbus cut off Marvel.

Carter spread his hands and said: "Yes, Steve, you also know the difficulty of this matter, although I am not reconciled, but I have to say that with our current technical level, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete this project." ”

"Not necessarily," Chobbus smiled strangely again, "what if I say I've developed special effects software that surpasses the other party?"

"What! it can't be!" Carter exclaimed.
