Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, the Hong Kong branch of a digital special effects company.

A computer was surrounded by people, and Kang Jianfei stood behind the computer operator, his eyes fixed on the screen on the monitor.

The computer monitor is full of abstract lines, representing the constant curve of the lines of the hydra cypress rattan, and the zombie played by Xiong Xinxin is also outlined with lines.

Traditional film special effects are used to replace the shots of characters, and they are generally shot by "inverting molds", while computer special effects in the future are made by using sensors and signal capture equipment to make virtual pictures. Now we are in a transitional phase, with some lenses processed with traditional inverted molds and others with new digital scanning technology.

The picture displayed on the computer in front of Kang Jianfei was captured by digital scanning technology, and the special effects personnel then used the computer post-production to make the originally rough physical props come to life on the movie screen. Similarly, for example, the footage of the corpse turtle exposing itself in the back also needs to be digitally scanned and then made with computer special effects.

"The twisting of those rattans should be made more weird and flexible," Kang Jianfei pointed to the monitor and made his request, "How to say, let every branch give people the feeling of being a living poisonous snake." ”

"OK, OK, I know what you mean, boss." Kuhn? Jereif said as he dragged the mouse.

The 42-year-old Kuhn? Jerry Fern is the computer special effects master that Kang Jianfei spent a lot of money to dig up from Industrial Light and Magic, and is now the leader of the CG special effects team of "Tomb Robbery Notes".

If possible, Kang Jianfei would prefer to put the pillar of Industrial Light & Magic, Dennis? Mullen dug it up. The guy is a regular at the Oscars and Saturn Awards for Best Visual Effects. After the 80s, the "Star Wars" series, the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, "The Abyss" and other movies, are Dennis? Mullen led the team to produce the computer special effects, and he was also responsible for the most critical part of the computer special effects in "Terminator 2".

Pity. Dennis? Mu Lun is thriving in industrial light and magic, and Kang Jianfei's money is still not looked down upon. Finally in Scott? Ross was built under the construction of Kuhn? Jereif gave to the digital realm.

Kuhn? Jereif has always been Dennis? Mullen's assistant has been involved in the post-production of most of Hollywood's special effects blockbusters for nearly a decade. This guy is undoubtedly a very capable person, but it's a pity that his talent is all about Dennis? Mullen's powerful aura is overshadowed, and people only know that Industrial Light & Magic has Dennis? Mullen, but few people know about Kuhn? Javifer's efforts and contributions to the field of computer special effects.

In Scott? Rose waved a check after handing out the invitation. Kuhn? Jericho only thought about it for two days before agreeing. He had been living in Dennis before? Under the shadow of Mullen, perhaps to prove his strength, this guy worked more than ten hours a day after coming to Hong Kong. The next day was still in good spirits, and it was a model for hard-working employees.

After putting forward his request, Kang Jianfei squeezed out of the crowd to go outside to breathe, and made the scene just now perfect. The CG team will take at least two days. He could only stare at it as he stood there.

"Mr. Kang, how are the special effects in post-production?" Zhang Meng didn't know when he came behind Kang Jianfei.

"It's still early, if you're interested, I'll take you in and have a look." Kang Jianfei said, but what he was thinking about was when the theme song of Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui's movie would be completed, and they had written two songs before that failed to satisfy Kang Jianfei.

Zhang Miao followed Kang Jianfei into the room, looking at the strange picture on the monitor and the unconscious operation of the special effects staff. Exclaimed: "Foreign technology is so advanced, you can make movies with computers." ”

In this day and age. There are still very few home computers, and the main buyers of personal computers are companies and government agencies, and computers are really high-tech in the eyes of ordinary people, not to mention the use of computers for post-movie special effects.

Kang Jianfei is worried about the kind of terrorist offensive that swept the world after the rise of Hollywood special effects blockbusters a few years later, and overnight it seems that the world's film market has been occupied by American blockbusters, and Hong Kong is no exception.

Hong Kong counterparts are obviously still satisfied with the current situation of dumping Hong Kong films in East Asian countries, and now as long as they are under the banner of Hong Kong films and Hong Kong stars, no matter how bad the film is, it will sell for money. As a result, many directors are now keen to be fast gunners, and from writing the script to completing the post-production, they can make a movie in less than a month to make money.

For example, Wang Jing is a guy who only shoots one film a year at DreamWorks, but he shoots five or six films for other companies. Naturally, the films made for DreamWorks are high-quality, and the other five or six movies are undoubtedly bad movies, anyway, as long as he can earn the director's salary, he will be satisfied, and Wang Jing, who has a reputation or something, doesn't care at all.

Now the output of Hong Kong films is rising every year, but the overall quality has begun to decline significantly. Once a certain movie hits, its success and routines will be analyzed and borrowed by other directors, and then countless follow-up works will be produced in batches. Many originally talented directors have slowly become mediocre in one assembly line work after another.

Once a Hollywood special effects blockbuster hits, with the attitude of most Hong Kong filmmakers who don't want to make progress, how can they resist it at that time?

Of course, Kang Jianfei doesn't want to care about the life or death of other film companies, but if a large number of Hong Kong film companies go bankrupt, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Hong Kong film industry, and he Kang Jianfei and DreamWorks don't want to be alone.

"I hope Jiahe and Vientiane can hold on." Kang Jianfei sighed as if talking to himself.

Among the many film companies in Hong Kong, only Zou Wenhuai's Golden Harvest and Huang Baiming's Vientiane Pictures can enter Kang Jianfei's eyes. Zou Wenhuai has always had a keen international vision, while Huang Baiming (including the New Art City era) adheres to the comedy route of combining foreign and local culture, both of which have made great contributions to the development of overseas markets for Hong Kong films.

As for other companies, they are nothing more than money-making opportunities in the tide of Hong Kong films. There may be companies or directors who are doing the art of film, but they don't help in resisting Hollywood's future blockbuster offensive.

Zhang Meng heard Kang Jianfei's whisper very clearly, but he didn't understand why he was worried about Jiahe and Vientiane, those two were competitors of DreamWorks.

Kang Jianfei is not a person who feels sorry for himself every day, and his worries and worries can only stay in his mind for a few minutes, and in a blink of an eye, he said to Zhang Meng with a smile: "Aren't you looking for something with me?" ”

"Oops, I forgot the script at home," Zhang Meng had a remorseful expression, and then looked at Kang Jianfei with ** eyes, "Mr. Kang, why don't you go to my house and sit down, you can help me see if the script is appropriate." ”

"Okay, I'm just free today." Kang Jianfei agreed with a smile.

In order to avoid suspicion, the two of them divided into two ways again, one after the other and came to Zhang Mian's house.

Zhang Meng took out a script in a similar way, Kang Jianfei took a cursory look at it, it was an old-fashioned urban romantic comedy, and he asked: "What is the salary that Yongsheng Company promised you?" ”

"350,000." Zhang Meng said.

Kang Jianfei shook his head: "Reject the other party, 350,000 is too little." ”

Asking Kang Jianfei to help read the script was just an excuse for Zhang Meng to seduce him, and Zhang Meng had already decided to take this film. However, hearing Kang Jianfei say this, Zhang Miao was surprised: "350,000 is a lot, this is a relatively high price among second-tier actresses." ”

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "You don't have any works that have been released now, why did Yongsheng ask you to be the heroine?" ”

Zhang Meng complimented: "Of course, it's because of Mr. Kang, but now there is a saying in the circle, called 'If you become a flying girl, your salary will rise sharply'." ”

"Do you think that after the release of "Tomb Robbery Notes", your salary is only 350,000?" Kang Jianfei asked rhetorically.

"But Yongsheng is open to the family, will it be troublesome to refuse their invitation?" Zhang Meng still doesn't want to give up this film, in fact, she takes a fancy to the 350,000 salary. It is certain that her salary will rise sharply in the future, but "Tomb Robbery Notes" will not be released until a few days before the Spring Festival, if Zhang Mian takes over this drama, at the current filming speed, it will almost be finished by the Spring Festival, and by the time "Tomb Robbery Notes" is released, she has already earned the 350,000 yuan in her hands, why not?

With the brokerage contract that Zhang Meng has signed with the company now, the salary of 350,000 yuan can be divided into her hands of more than 130,000 yuan after deducting taxes, which is a huge amount of money for Zhang Mian, who is used to being poor.

Kang Jianfei looked at Zhang Meng's reluctant expression, and after thinking about it, he understood, and he smiled: "You can take it first, although this script is old-fashioned, it shouldn't be too bad to shoot." ”

Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that Kang Jianfei would let her give up this movie. Zhang Mian, who didn't want to continue talking about the script, went directly into the whole, glanced at Kang Jianfei a little shyly, and said: "Mr. Kang, why don't you continue to teach me how to act, I think my acting skills are still very average." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled and asked, "Then what should I teach you?" ”

Zhang Mian bit his lip, looked at Kang Jianfei shyly and said, "Just continue to teach me how to act in a kiss scene. In the hotel in Beijing, people have just understood a little, and you are called away by a phone call. ”

Kang Jianfei said with a stern face: "It seems that you are still very motivated, then I will pass on my experience in filming kissing scenes to you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Kang." Zhang Miao said gratefully.

Kang Jianfei coughed and corrected: "As an actor, you should enter the state at any time, now we are playing a pair of lovers, you should call me Feige." ”

"Well, Brother Fei!" Zhang Mian's voice was tender, a pair of jade hands were already on Kang Jianfei's shoulders, his little face was slightly raised, and his seductive red lips were waiting for the man to taste it.

At this time, it was winter, Kang Jianfei thought that Zhang Mian had too many clothes on her body, and while hugging the beauty in his arms, his other hand had already unbuttoned her coat very skillfully. He lowered his head and bit the delicate little mouth, pried open his open teeth and tasted it, the taste of the clove tongue was soft and soft, sweet and delicious. (To be continued......)
