In addition to the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong Island's return to the motherland, there is another thing worth mentioning.

That is, the Institute of Plasma of the National Academy of Sciences announced that China's superconducting tokamak experimental device EAST has achieved a stable and highly confined operation mode of more than 100 seconds for the first time in the world.

EAST, that is, the Oriental Super Ring.

The superconducting tokamak is the well-known artificial sun, a nuclear fusion device.

Regarding this, with Lu Yu's current knowledge reserves, it is difficult to express any opinions for the time being.

It's not something he can study or should study now.

Maybe in the future, because of the need to step into the starry sky, he will go to research, but definitely not now.

This kind of product that subverts the existing energy system of the Blue Star human race, once successfully born, will bring unpredictable and serious consequences.

The slightest carelessness can lead to an uncontrollable heat war.

With the weapons of war currently in the hands of Blue Star, it will cause serious damage and destruction to the human civilization that has not yet left the home planet.

So even if Lu Yu has the ability and possibility to succeed in development, at this stage, he will not do so.

His ideal is to see the rest of the universe, not to be trapped in the Blue Star forever.

……

Apart from these two news, there is really not much to pay attention to, and it is lackluster.

However, there is a movie that has only been released for a few days and has been praised and sought after by many netizens, Wolf Warrior 2.

The first part of the wolf warrior, Lu Yu has also seen it, and it can only be said that it is not bad.

Compared with the domestic commercial blockbusters in the same period, it can be regarded as excellent.

So now seeing so many netizens praising the second part, Lu Yu suddenly wants to see it.

Not only to watch the sequel, Lu Yuke has never forgotten that he wants to invest in a film about the final struggle of another civilization.

I went to watch this movie in order to learn more about the top level of the domestic film industry today.

After all, there are too many pseudo-commercial blockbusters and magic movies now.

The screen full of small fresh meat, clumsy acting skills, and special effects of five cents are all tricks of capital and money.

Lu Yu is not interested in investing in such a movie.

If he wants more people to see it, he has to invest in making top-notch movies.

Not only should the script be top-notch, but the actors should also be top-notch, and the special effects should be top-notch.

Otherwise, it will not be able to show the height of another civilization at all, nor will it be able to show the vastness and grandeur of the universe.

If the current domestic level cannot be reached, he would rather wait a little longer and wait for the domestic film industry to gradually mature before implementing the plan.

……

Looking through the news and thinking about these things, time flies.

Shi Zixuan and Qin Xiaomian came home from work, and when they opened the door, they saw Lu Yu sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone.

Qin Xiaomian ran over and threw herself into Lu Yu's arms:

"Uncle~I'm back~"

Shi Zixuan also bent the corners of her mouth and walked over to sit next to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu rubbed Qin Xiaomian's head: "This time I went out to shoot a promotional video, are you tired?" ”

Qin Xiaomian and Shi Zixuan both shook their heads, Qin Xiaomian:

"I'm not tired, it's fun."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Then go, I'll invite you to watch a movie today." ”

Qin Xiaomian tilted his head and blinked his eyes:

"Are you dating me?"

Lu Yu rolled his eyes: "If you want to make an appointment, it's also about you, not you." ”

Qin Xiaomian pouted: "Hmph! ”

After speaking, he pulled Shi Zixuan upstairs to change clothes.

Both of them are dressed a little seriously and solemnly in the company, and now when they go to the movies, of course, they have to change into casual and relaxed makeup.

……

After a while, hearing the sound of the two girls going down the stairs, Lu Yu turned his head and looked, and it was difficult to turn his neck back.

Both women wore wide, loose white long-sleeved sweatshirts, white socks with three black bars on their knees, and a pair of white sneakers.

Exactly the same dress, exactly the same hairstyle.

The two women approached Lu Yu one step at a time, their little hands only showing their fingertips and grabbing their sleeves, with a timid expression, don't come here and bully me.

Seeing that Lu Yu almost didn't want to go out to watch a movie.

Biting the tip of his tongue vigorously, he recited the mantra in his heart, and finally calmed down a little.

Lu Yu let out a long sigh: "You are forcing revolutionary comrades to make mistakes!" ”

Shi Zixuan and Qin Xiaomian received their magical powers at this time, and smiled a little proudly.

Lu Yu retracted his burning gaze and said, "Let's go, watch a movie or eat first?" ”

The two girls thought about it and chose to go to the cinema to eat casually.

In summer, the appetite is not very good, not to mention that the two girls should also pay attention to their diet to avoid gaining weight.

……

The three of them soon arrived at the commercial plaza near the community and ate all kinds of snacks.

The two women gathered around Lu Yu to talk and laugh, but they were envious of others.

After eating snacks, Lu Yu and the two girls entered the cinema, and after buying tickets, they waited in the lounge area of the hall.

Lu Yu looked around, asked the two girls, and went to the beverage store to buy three glasses of chilled watermelon juice.

came back and handed it to the two girls, and drank it with a straw himself, which was refreshing.

The two girls have been using their mobile phones to check various movie reviews about the movie on the Internet.

It didn't take long for the ticket check for the purchased show, and the movie was about to be screened.

Lu Yu took the two daughters and checked in the theater together, found a seat, and waited for the movie to start.

The two girls who read the movie review were not very interested in it at first, and they also had a little expectation.

……

The movie opens quickly, and it is an exciting action scene as soon as it starts.

Lu Yu watched it carefully, and didn't just care about playing like he used to watch movies with the two girls.

I have to say that this movie has made a new height of modern domestic military action movies.

The pacing is tight, the story is not boring, and the fighting action is well chosen.

In particular, the strong patriotic atmosphere makes people think of the humiliation suffered by the motherland and the decades of catching up with hardships.

It's burning and passionate in my heart.

There is a professor abroad who summed it up very well:

In the eyes of every Chinese person, they are not trying to dominate the world.

In their eyes, the number one in the world is their place.

Now, they're just trying to get back to that position.

……

In China, this movie can be called the most successful action commercial blockbuster.

Even the two women, who have never liked to watch action movies, are very involved in watching them, and they are even more infected by patriotic feelings after watching them.

Lu Yu thought more after watching the movie.

It can be seen from this movie that there is no shortage of people who can write good scripts in China, there is no shortage of actors who can play good roles, and there is no shortage of directors who can make good movies.

What is lacking is just a little bit of goodwill capital, which can allow filmmakers to create good films with peace of mind.

And not leeks for the quick harvest of small fresh meat vermicelli.

If you can gather a group of people who want to make a good movie, coupled with strong special effects support, there is still a high probability that you can make the movie Lu Yu wants.

However, in the current domestic special effects industry, Lu Yu is a little hehe.

Lu Yu walked outside the cinema while thinking about his plans for the near future.

……

Originally, Lu Yu planned to start with basic materials and basic industries and start to climb science and technology.

However, due to various factors in the industrial system and the lack of sufficient financial support, it is not possible to start for the time being.

Pink and white and black have achieved outstanding results in the past four months, and the profits are also very high.

However, in addition to the tax payable, expand the raw material supply chain, and prepare to enter the overseas market next year.

The amount of money that can be used on the company's books is really limited.

And basic materials research is an endless gold-swallowing beast.

Lu Yu is also empty now, but he has nowhere to play his martial arts.

However, just after watching the movie, Lu Yu was thinking about whether to develop a set of advanced digital special effects software first.

There are too many times to say, at least on the same level as foreign digital special effects software, or even slightly ahead.

It shouldn't cost much to lead the development of the entire set of digital special effects software and set up a programming team, right?

Take advantage of the fact that you still have more spare time to do a set?

It is also the right to run in the team and prepare for the subsequent development of artificial intelligence.

The more Lu Yu thought about it, the more feasible it became, and the pace of going home accelerated a little.

……

returned home with the two daughters, and Lu Yu went directly into the study.

Shi Zixuan and Qin Xiaomian knew that every time he entered the study, he either read and studied or had something to do, so they didn't bother him.

The two of them were swiping various social software in the living room by themselves.

Lu Yu turned on the computer when he entered the study and looked up the information related to the digital special effects software.

I thought that developing such a set of digital special effects software was not too complicated, but now that I took a closer look, I found that he still thought too simply.

Digital special effects, just from the perspective of images, can be roughly divided into three types:

The first is digital image processing.

To put it simply, it is to use image processing software to process the actual picture taken by the camera or the picture generated by the software, so as to produce the new image that is actually needed.

This is widely used in film and television special effects, such as erasing the seat belts on actors' bodies, and some small items that are inadvertently worn by goofs.

and the thousands of shots, all of which are shot by a small number of actors many times, and then replicate the images to transform into more different images.

The second is digital image synthesis.

This is the use of software to process the actual images taken by the camera and produce the newly synthesized visual effects required for the film.

Not only can we synthesize new images, but we usually hear about actor cutouts, which is to transplant the image of one actor to another.

The third is digital image generation.

This is the use of computer graphics and animation technology to directly generate the required images, and the whole process does not require the camera to be involved.

Digital image generation can produce both hand-drawn cartoons and realistic and natural images.

……

And that's just for the images.

The special effects of the entire film and television work should be divided into pre-shooting and post-production.

The pre-shooting is mainly a variable speed special effect, which is achieved by using different shooting speeds and playback speeds.

Or computer-controlled special shots, such as fast and slow motion, time freeze, rewind and freeze frame, etc.

Post-production special effects are the most important step in the special effects of film and television works.

It includes not only text effects, transition effects, but also the most important image effects.

Image special effects are a kind of comprehensive special effects, including all effects on the screen except text, mainly including filters, animation, 3D, virtual, composite effects, etc.

This includes image processing, compositing, generation, and so on.

In addition, the complete special effects of a film and television work also include pre-planning, image design, model building, prop production, etc.

It's not enough to rely on special effects software alone, you also need to be good enough practitioners.

This is also the reason why film and television special effects are called the "special effects industry".
