135: Big Leader Movie-watching!
After the film was shot, it was time for the long post-production.
It's really just like Wang Huan said before, don't hand it over to any foreign production company.
Leave it all to your own company.
It is said that stunts must not wait for the filming to be completed, but need to be filmed and produced at the same time.
However, in the past year, Wang Huan did not let them make the stunts of this movie.
Instead, he hired some directors at a high price, shot some short films, and then handed them over to his own company to practice.
After making sure to be in the best condition, start the stunt production of the "Three-Body Problem" movie.
It's also money burning.
The whole company was shocked by Wang Huan's generosity.
Spending a lot of money to shoot short films, just to practice stunts?
After practice, these short films are useless.
Why don't you practice if you have already made a movie "Three-Body Problem".
But the whole company belongs to Wang Huan, and he has the final say.
So for the whole year last year, not a single frame of stunts in the "Three-Body Problem" movie has been made, but it has already cost Wang Huan hundreds of millions of dollars.
The entire company also has thousands of people, and more than 20 million yuan have been spent on salaries alone.
The average monthly salary is 20,000 yuan, which makes other IT companies drool with envy.
And all of them are equipped with the highest performance computers and the most advanced software.
At the time of final acceptance.
The results were better than expected.
The stunts of those short films have been completed, and several versions have been made.
One is better than the other.
Facts have proved that the investment regardless of the cost is still effective.
But...... This stunt is still very, very far from Hollywood.
It's probably more than a dozen years behind.
Wang Huan knows that the Hollywood film industry is not only about computer stunts, but also about models, makeup, and so on.
It's all-encompassing, system-wide.
..........................................
After the film was made.
Wang Huan still didn't take out some production software from the Tower of Doom, but let his stunt company use the existing transfer to make a stunt production of "The Three-Body Problem".
Of course, it's just Three-Body Problem 1, although there are a lot of stunts in it, but compared to the second and third parts, it is much less.
Although the release date is only a year away.
But Wang Huan didn't panic at all, because the worst result was that the stunt company couldn't complete the final production of the movie, and Wang Huan completed the final production in the Tower of the Last Days, and he didn't have time for that day.
Exactly two months later.
More than 1,000 people in the company worked overtime every day for 70 days.
The special effects of "Three-Body Problem 1" have finally been made.
Wang Huan edited it in the shortest possible time, because he knew too well what the finished film was like, and he didn't need to struggle and hesitate at all.
In the end, it was cut into a 203-minute film, which is slightly different from the 2035 version, which is about a minute shorter.
After the film was edited, Jiang Wen, Liang Jiahui, Chen Zhiming and others couldn't wait to watch.
Because of these three movies, how difficult it is to shoot, they know best, especially Jiang Wen from beginning to end.
Spent astronomical sums of money and traveled all over the world, just for the best picture.
This film has invested the efforts of countless people.
Especially the shooting of a few super big scenes, it was really painstaking.
And those scenes, I really can't find extras to shoot them.
The conditions were too tough, and they were all filmed in the wild.
When it's good, there are tents to sleep in. When the conditions are poor, it is really just a sleeping bag.
Zhang Yimou's "Hero" used tens of thousands of troops and filmed for a few days.
And Wang Huan really used tens of thousands of people this time, and the longest time was half a month.
Just for this piece of footage, in less than a minute, more than 100 million were spent.
All the actors involved in this movie have a sentence in their hearts.
If this movie is not good, it really makes no sense.
There will probably not be another domestic movie that is so extreme and crazy.
And so far, all of Wang Huan's manuscript fees have been spent.
But once again, he rejected other people's investment, and in his own name, borrowed 500 million from the bank.
Actually, you really don't need to spend so much money.
Because the above completely agreed, rent planes, tanks, warships, etc., just pay for fuel, don't rent it.
Use the army, just give the soldiers food money, no performance fees, and even sleeping bags can be carried by themselves.
But Wang Huan, every money has been spent.
Because he knows that there are a lot of things that you can't get for any money.
So what can be solved with money, with money.
Others don't know, but the leading actors and cores of the movie clearly know that for this movie, Wang Huan has changed from a billionaire to a bank that owes hundreds of millions.
Therefore, if this movie is not good, there will be no reason in this world.
Not only the assistant director came, but also several core actors, as well as the action team and the props team.
The leader of the Film Bureau, or even more than that, a certain national-level leader has also come.
Of course, in another world, the three-body problem, which was filmed very ordinarily, the national-level big leaders also came, and after watching it, this film was permanently sealed, and it could not be broadcast, and the king of the three-body problem could not be destroyed.
Eventually, everyone was anxious to watch the movie.
Everyone knows that this movie is too important.
There is no problem with filming, there is no problem with the actors, and there will be no problem with all the live shooting scenes.
The key is computer special effects.
Don't hold back.
In this immense anticipation, the movie finally played.
"Wow!"
Many people present couldn't help but exclaim.
Because this is IMAX, the frame is extremely huge, and it is super clear, because Wang Huan bought the most advanced camera at a huge price.
So the picture played at this time is an unprecedented 6K clarity.
At this time, most of the domestic cinemas were still 2k-level.
The impact of this giant screen, as well as the impact of ultra-high definition, is indeed incomparable.
Watching a movie on such a huge screen and in ultra-high-definition format is simply an incomparable enjoyment.
Of course, this movie is in 3D, but the 3D effect has not yet reached the best, so the 3D version has not been put for the time being.
But it's shocking enough.
Soon, many were immersed in the movie.
It's really a really amazing feeling.
Everyone present has read the original three-body problem very well, and the plot is clear.
But now it's amazing to see the characters in the book come alive in front of you.
When the picture shifts to the Great Khing'an Mountains.
The colorful primeval forest is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated, and even creepy.
It's really a visual treat.
The giant screen is 22 meters wide and 16 meters high, almost five stories high.
Specifically looking at the scenery of the Great Khing'an Mountains, it makes people feel that it is extremely enjoyable.
Next up is the Red Bank base.
Although it is a backward secret base, that kind of grandeur and enormity comes directly to the face.
This is a whole territory, from afar.
This kind of shock, oppressive force, is too strong.
The country-level leader asked, "Is this a computer stunt? It's so realistic." ”
Wang Huan said: "No, it's a live shooting, and I specially built a model of the Red Bank base." ”
The big leader was suddenly a little shocked, he had read the book many times, of course he knew that the time when the Red Bank Base appeared in the movie was actually not very long, but the amount of work was very huge.
Wang Huan actually built one directly.
"You should have spoken at the time, we have similar bases, some of which are abandoned and can be used by you. The big leader said.
Wang Huan said: "I am already very grateful, when I heard that I was going to build the Red Bank base, the infrastructure division of the army strongly supported me and helped me build it in the shortest possible time, and only charged the cost." ”
The big leader said: "That also cost you a lot of money." ”
Wang Huan said: "This base can become an attraction in the future and become a part of the Three-Body Theme Park. ”
The big leader was stunned and said, "Just like Disney, and Universal Studios?"
Wang Huan said: "Yes. ”
The big leader said: "It's too thoughtful, it's very good, when you want to do it, just hand over a report, we strongly support it, ask for money for money, and ask for land for land." ”
Next, everyone continued to watch the movie.
Soon, everyone was blown away again.
Because this is the first time that the landform of a three-body exoplanet has been shown.
The feeling of mystery, strangeness, and desolation came to my face.
"It's also live-action. Wang Huan said.
The big leader said: "There is still such a place on our earth, which is too much like an alien planet. ”
Wang Huan said: "I hired dozens of geographical experts and traveled through some special geomorphological areas in the world, and finally found this place. ”
In fact, the 2035 version of "The Three-Body Problem" also found an alien landform area, and directly marked the address, Wang Huan felt a little dissatisfied after reading it, so he spent money to find it again.
Finally, he found a place that most resembled the three-body planet.
Therefore, in many places, Wang Huan has done more extreme and better than the 2035 version of the three-body problem.
"Your spirit is amazing, amazing. The big leader sighed with emotion: "If you do things like you, why shouldn't our country be rich and strong?"
The film continues.
But...... Then everyone had mixed tastes.
Because, finally it's time for the computer special effects part.
Honestly, there were surprises.
Compared with other domestic films, it is simply a qualitative leap.
But......
Not up to the standard of this movie.
The other standards of this movie are just too high and too high.
Wang Huan used tens of millions of dollars to build the real scene of the Red Bank, as well as the huge radio telescope full of characteristics.
It's not a stunt, it's all built one-to-one.
There are also dozens of photographers and geographical experts, who searched all over the world, and finally found the special landform that best suits the setting of the three-body planet.
All of this, all of which are top-notch.
There are also performances by several core actors, which are also the top.
This computer special effect, if placed in other movies, can even be said to be excellent.
But in this movie, it is far from qualified.
It's still about a decade behind Hollywood.
The movie is over.
Everyone was excited, but ...... It's also painful.
Jiang Wen said: "It's painful, our country's film industry is really not worthy of this movie." ”
Liang Jiahui said: "This is the best movie I've ever acted in, and it's also the best movie I've ever seen, but the special effects of this movie are really not enough, can't Director Wang really hand it over to a foreign production company?"
Wang Huan shook his head.
Lin Bing said: "In some aspects, this movie is completely at the top level in the world, even surpassing Hollywood. For example, its clarity, its frame, its real scene, etc., but the special effects are too far behind, and the special effects part of this movie is too much. It set an unprecedented box office record at home, and it is not difficult at all. But...... If you want to conquer the world, it is difficult. It's harder to overtake the Star Wars Prequel series. ”
Assistant director Ning Hao said: "This is the first part, and the requirements for computer special effects are the lowest. The second and third parts have higher requirements for computer special effects, so the expressiveness will be worse. ”
Yes, the second part of the Earth Fleet and the Trimaran War.
And the destruction of the lunar base.
And so on, all of them are epic cosmic wars.
Not to mention the dimensionality reduction strike in the back, the two-way foil strike, the entire solar system has changed from a three-dimensional three-dimensional to a two-dimensional plane.
This is an unprecedented image in all science fiction movies on Earth, and it is also a picture that infinitely shocks the human imagination.
If this stunt is not done well, the whole movie will not stand.
And the first part of this three-body problem also has a super sci-fi picture, that is, the manufacturing process of Zhizi.
The Trisolarans continuously unfolded a nine-dimensional proton into eight dimensions, seven dimensions, and finally into a two-dimensional space.
And in this process, this proton also contains a cosmic civilization.
As we all know, protons are almost the smallest form of matter, second only to quarks and smaller than atoms and molecules.
And in such a small proton, there is also a cosmic civilization.
In the process of unfolding, the civilization in this proton world also fought back.
Expand the nine-dimensional proton to the two-dimensional, the area is infinite, and then the circuit is etched on it, turning it into a supercomputer, and finally into the eleventh latitude of the microscopic world.
In this way, this supercomputer is extremely small, flying to the earth at almost the speed of light, blocking the entire earth's technology.
This was one of the most challenging computer effects in the first film.
As a result, the finish is very average.
The entire stunt company has racked its brains to complete the shooting plan given by Wang Huan.
But...... It's still a far, far cry.
Expressiveness is very, very average.
The big leader said: "Comrade Wang Huan, is there still room for upgrading this computer special effect?"
Wang Huan said: "There must be, there are still more than nine months before the release." ”
The big leader said: "We can send the best computer experts to help." ”
Wang Huan said: "If necessary, I will definitely call you." ”
The big leader clenched Wang Huan's hands, and even came up with both hands together, and said, "Come on." ”
Then, with some trepidation, he left. He wanted to help, but he also felt powerless, because this kind of technology China lagged behind the United States, and it could not be done overnight.
..........................................
All judged in unison.
This movie is very, very awesome, but the real-life part is taken to the extreme.
But......
The special effects part, it's too bad.
The first special effects are not very demanding, and it is already like this. The second and third parts are even more unimaginable.
Many actors remember that a large part of the filming was carried out in front of a green curtain.
These parts need to be processed with computer special effects.
According to the expressiveness of the first computer special effects, the second and third parts are simply a disaster, which will completely ruin the entire movie effect, and even the better the other parts, the more a disaster.
"Huan, our country's film industry is not worthy of your movie, otherwise you should use it to be produced abroad. Jiang Wen said: "At this stage, nationalism is very important, but ......"
"It's a shame, it's a shame......"
"For these three movies, you have spent more than 2 billion, and Hollywood movies can't spend that much. ”
"If you smash the more than 200 million, you have really raised our country's film industry to a big level, but unfortunately it is probably difficult to recover this money. ”
Everyone sighed.
"What is the final global box office of "Star Wars Prequel 3"?"
"$1.03 billion, the trilogy grossed $2.7 billion. ”
In another world, the final box office of "Star Wars Prequel 3" was $890 million, but in this world, because of the gamble between Wang Huan and the President of the United States, the box office soared to $1.03 billion.
According to the agreement, Wang Huan's "Three-Body Problem" trilogy will have a box office of more than $2.7 billion.
This...... It's completely impossible.
At least according to the current movie, it is completely impossible.
People in this world are very picky and will basically only stare at your worst places and squirt.
According to the current level of special effects, once it is released, it will be scolded immediately.
Especially the second and third films, although the level of special effects is already much better than other domestic films.
But in other domestic movies, there is no space war, and there is no interstellar war.
According to the current release of the finished film, it will only suffer a humiliating result.
will be ridiculed by countless people for the backwardness of the Chinese film industry, and Wang Huan will be ridiculed for not being able to do anything, let alone defeat the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy.
"It's not me saying it, in terms of plot and depth alone, compared with our "Three-Body Problem", "Star Wars Prequel" is not a little bit worse, it's too petty. Although it seems to have a grand background, it is an ancient power, a galactic republic, and a galactic empire, and it is countless light years away. But in fact, the pattern is very small, and it is completely the love affair between the children of several family forces, which is not atmospheric at all. In the face of this cosmic situation, individuals are very small. The great achievements of individuals are full of chance and inevitability. But in Star Wars, the fate of the whole world seems to be pinned on the hands of one or two people, as if it is like the master of destiny, the pattern is too small and too narcissistic. ”
"Look at our "Three-Body Problem", there is no savior at all, and there is no master of destiny. Even if you want to destroy the world and the universe, it is an accidental inevitability in the countless causal chains, and the ability of individuals is very small in it, but it is accidentally amplified by the causal chain and becomes a decision on the fate of the world. ”
"We all know that, but what's the use. Audiences all over the world don't tell us about this, they just think that the special effects are bad, and the scenes are not good. ”
"It's so aggrieved, it's so aggrieved. ”
..................
Wang Huan did not issue a gag order, nor did he ask people to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Someone even asked him what he could and couldn't say if a reporter asked.
Wang Huan said bluntly, he could say whatever he wanted.
Next, reporters interviewed these well-known actors who had seen the first finished film.
Jiang Wen said: "This is the most awesome movie, there is no one." Not only in China, but also in the world. This is a historic moment for Chinese films, and since then the Chinese film industry has been divided into two moments, one before "The Three-Body Problem" and the other after "The Three-Body Problem". ”
The reporter asked, "Then do you think this movie can finally beat "Star Wars Prequel"?"
Jiang Wen said: "In my eyes, it is more than ten times better than "Star Wars Prequel", and it is not a grade at all. But if you ask me if I can beat "Star Wars Prequel" at the box office, I don't think so. ”
"Why?"
Jiang Wen said: "China's film industry is not worthy of this movie, and the computer special effects are too crotch-pulling. In fact, I want to suggest that Huanzi wait ten years before this movie is released, and then the computer special effects may be able to keep up with this movie. ”
Next, it's not just Jiang Wen.
The other core actors of "The Three-Body Problem" had the same attitude when they were interviewed by reporters.
It's an extremely good movie, not even one of them.
The film is the ultimate in almost everything, and it's a revolution in the world of cinema.
But...... The computer special effects can't keep up.
It's a pity, it's heart-wrenching.
Next, the BOSS of Industrial Light & Magic flew to China to watch the finished film of "Three-Body Problem 1".
Then in an interview with reporters, he used three incredible.
"It's totally unbelievable that this movie would be so good. ”
"It's amazing. ”
"The scenes are superb, the actors' performances are superb, the pacing, the imagination, the script are superb. ”
"But it's a pity that the computer special effects here are so backward, more than a decade behind Hollywood. ”
"In other movies, this special effect may be reasonable. But on a science fiction movie like "The Three-Body Problem", this kind of special effects is simply a disaster. ”
"If a movie also conforms to the barrel theory, then in the movie "Three-Body Problem 1", the other boards are very, very high, only the computer special effects are terrifyingly low. ”
"And what determines the ultimate success or failure of a movie is not the longest plank, but the shortest one, because this is a science fiction movie. ”
"So I decided that after this movie was released, it would be a disaster. Bad computer special effects can ruin the whole movie. ”
"What? You ask me if it can defeat "Star Wars Prequel", or don't make this kind of joke, Mr. Wang Huan should forget about this gamble, what he needs to be mentally prepared for most now is the saliva and abuse of countless people around the world after the release. ”
"Because the better the rest of the film, the angrier the audience will be, because the bad computer special effects really ruin everything. ”
"Our Industrial Light & Magic also expressed that we were willing to help the special effects production of "The Three-Body Problem", and were willing to give Mr. Wang Huan a very favorable price, but it was a pity that Mr. Wang Huan refused us. ”
"Mr. Wang Huan's nationalist sentiments ruined the film. ”
The senior management of Industrial Light & Magic did repeatedly lobby Wang Huan and was willing to help "The Three-Body Problem" produce special effects, and the three films cost 100 million US dollars.
They know that there is almost no money now.
Therefore, Industrial Light & Magic took the initiative to bring in Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC, using the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" as collateral, and was willing to loan Wang Huan $150 million with relatively preferential interest.
Because, at least tens of millions of dollars will be needed for the next publicity.
This is still now, and after the Hollywood masterpieces, the publicity cost is one or two hundred million dollars.
However, Wang Huan refused.
The head of ILM left China with great regret and returned to the United States.
During this time, this period of news was overwhelming.
Chinese actors say so, and foreign bosses say the same.
So, it's almost completely a nail in the coffin.
Countless people in the country wailed.
At this time, almost no one attacked Wang Huan.
Because of the filming of the past year or so, many media have followed the whole process.
Those who insulted Wang Huan before were also suppressed.
Because Wang Huan's work attitude is too scary and serious.
There is no film production of this scale, even in Hollywood.
The crew is usually thousands of people, and at most tens of thousands.
In order to shoot a picture, tens of thousands of people were mobilized to shoot in the desert for more than ten days, spending hundreds of millions.
How can you criticize this kind of work attitude?
If it is spent on investors' money, if it is spent on the state's money, it can be said that it is a loss of life and money.
But Wang Huan spent all his own money.
The three books of "The Three-Body Problem" have sold tens of millions of copies around the world.
There are other peripheral products, which have also sold countless others.
The royalties received are converted into RMB, which is about 2 billion, because books in Europe and the United States are expensive and the royalties are also large.
So Wang Huan is the first on the list of the world's richest writers last year and this year.
With this money, he can live this life comfortably.
But he didn't, he spent all his two billion, and he still owed hundreds of millions to the bank.
Throughout last year, the other actors worked hard.
But the hardest and most desperate is him as a director.
The wind and rain, the stormy waves, the wind and sand, the terrible cold, the scorching heat, he endured them all, and more than anyone else.
How do you criticize him in such a situation?
Whoever dares to criticize will be drowned out by the spittle.
Countless actors and professionals have said that Wang Huan's film may lose all its money, but it can push the entire Chinese film industry forward for many years and cross a huge step.
Therefore, countless people across the country are lamenting, regretting, and even wailing.
As for defeating the Star Wars Prequel trilogy.
I didn't dare to mention it, and I didn't dare to think about it.
That's $2.7 billion.
The current global box office record for the best Chinese film is $177 million.
And the computer special effects and completion of "The Three-Body Problem" are currently showing.
It's just miserable.
$2.7 billion globally?
It's already a blessing not to be sprayed to death.
Of course, Wang Huan also said that there are still 9 months before the release, and there is still time to improve the special effects.
But......
No one dared to hold out hope.
The progress of the film industry is slow, and film special effects cannot be achieved overnight.
If you want to make leaps and bounds in nine months, that's a pipe dream.
And at this very time.
Wang Huan was in the Tower of the Last Days, using three hundred points.
Purchased the full software for the 2039 version of Movie Effects Magician.
This software is definitely not the most advanced in the Tower of Doom, the more advanced is the "Virtual Reality Magician", and the most realistic is the "Dream Universe" production system.
But with today's most advanced computers, none of them can run these software.
Even the 2039 version of the full set of software for "Movie Special Effects Magician" is difficult to run on computers in this world.
Wang Huan also used fifty points to get Civilization Star to modify and simplify the software to ensure that it could run on the computer in 2006.
Wang Huan took a hard disk and left the Tower of the Last Days.
Back to his Dream Tech.
Dream Technology is Wang Huan's special effects company, with more than 1,000 people.
At this time, no words can describe the despair and pain in their hearts.
At this time, in the hearts of all Chinese, they are almost national sinners.
Boss Wang Huan's movie is so well made, it is completely unprecedented.
But their special effects company pulled the crotch and ruined the whole movie.
This is a movie that the boss made after spending more than 200 million yuan, spending countless efforts, mobilizing tens of thousands of people, using countless planes and warships, and getting support from many countries.
But now this movie is going to be a joke.
Because the special effects are so bad, especially for the quality of the film.
The release date is getting closer and closer.
But there is no hope for improvement.
But the more than 1,000 people in the special effects company are really desperate.
They volunteered to work overtime, and many of them stayed awake, eating and living in the company all day long, sleeping five hours a day.
But...... They've done it to the extreme, too.
I really can't go up anymore.
They really tried their best.
Because this kind of thing really doesn't happen overnight, it needs a little bit of progress.
But reality has run out of time for them to progress.
They have seen some of the finished films themselves, especially the cosmic wars, and the two-way foil attack, the dimensionality reduction blow to the solar system.
Despite their best efforts.
But the picture effect is still too bad.
Although they were also aggrieved, they also knew that the people of the whole country were rightly scolded.
This great movie is really going to be ruined by special effects.
These special effects, especially the second and third special effects, are really a huge disaster.
After the release, it will definitely be scolded by countless people.
Defeating the Star Wars Prequel trilogy is completely out of the slightest possibility.
So every time I see my boss, the manager of Dream Technology, I have a feeling that I need to commit suicide and apologize.
His annual salary is 2 million, and the average monthly salary of the company's employees is 20,000 yuan, which is seven or eight times more than the national average.
The best office environment, the best computer, the best software.
But the special effects made are still ten years behind Hollywood.
But they really tried their best.
Wang Huan walked in, and the manager of Dream Technology Company's hair was like straw, and his eyes were red and blank.
Trembling, he said, "Boss, I'm ...... I resigned, we really can't finish it, it's less than half a year before the release, and this special effect will really ruin the whole movie. ”
Wang Huan handed over the hard disk in his hand and said: "This is a new set of software for "Movie Magician", install it on every employee's computer, and try again, the special effects of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy will all be remade. ”
..............................
Note: The first update was delivered, ten minutes earlier than yesterday.
is only less than 10 votes away from the top 10 of the new book monthly ticket list, can you help me?
