136: That's it!
"Boss, where did this software come from?" Tan Zhao, the manager of Dream Technology Company, asked cautiously.
He felt that this was advanced software that Wang Huan bought from abroad.
But...... It's useless, he's just a guy in the industry.
The company used the most advanced software in the world, and the company spent a lot of money to buy it.
But computer special effects are not something that can be done with advanced software. And the top special effects companies even have their own special tools, and they don't sell them.
Tan Zhaozhen doesn't think that one software can change everything.
And with a full set of new software, does it mean that these special effects have to be redone?
Wang Huan said: "I spent a lot of money to find a special technical master to design and write the software, and it took a whole year and a half to finally develop it. ”
As soon as these words came out, Tan Zhao couldn't believe it.
Although this kind of thing exists, there are indeed such supergods in the computer world.
As soon as you make a move, you change the world.
John Carmack, for example, rewrote the history of the game.
But there are still very few such legendary characters.
A certain supergod has been in retreat for a year and a half, and has written a huge program that has changed the whole world.
This sounds like martial arts, a person who has been in retreat and practiced for ten years, and after he comes out, he is the best in the world.
But is there a problem with Wang Huan's statement?
Will anyone doubt the source of this software?
No problem.
There is a certain professor who bought the source code of the Motorola chip and named it Hanxin No. 1. It still passed the report meeting, applied for hundreds of millions of funds, and won a huge honor.
In today's world, all that matters is whether you can solve the problem, and how do you solve the problem?
..................
Although he didn't dare to hold out any hopes, Tan Zhao still let the technology install the full set of software of this movie magician on every engineer's computer.
After installing it, I found that the volume of this software was so large.
It took a long time and finally the installation was complete.
Then, Tan Zhao himself opened this movie magician software.
He was originally a technical expert, and he was thinking about whether this software needed a hands-on tutorial.
As a result, he found himself overthinking.
Because the difficulty of the whole software is too low to get started, it's a bit foolish.
Immediately after that, he began to work on special effects for a certain picture.
And then......
He was utterly stunned.
Damn! this ...... This software is too ...... That's awesome, isn't it?
The material in this is too rich, isn't it?
Many things don't need engineers to do little by little, adjust little by little, and are completely automated.
He was a little scared, and he thought it was a little ridiculous.
Because in this way, isn't it too easy to make special effects?
You don't need any senior engineers at all, do you?
The most terrifying thing is that the pictures automatically generated by this software are many times better than the pictures they carefully made before.
This three-dimensionality, this realism, this shadow effect.
It's horrible.
This is the spike effect of technology.
In 2020, even Douyin players who don't understand any computer technology can use fool-like programs to do special effects.
And the key is that this special effect is much more realistic than the special effects made by computer experts more than ten years ago.
And what Wang Huan gave this time is a professional movie magician software in 2039.
Tan Zhao was directly fascinated by it, just like a child getting the best toy, and he was completely happy.
It's awesome.
That's great.
Next, he was obviously debugging the software, and ended up sitting in front of the computer for three hours.
In these 8 hours, he completed 30 seconds of special effects by himself.
It was completely impossible to change it before.
He produced 60 frames per second, and 30 seconds is 1,800 frames.
Before the change, dozens of people had to do it for a long, long time.
And now it only took 8 hours for him to complete the 30-second picture alone.
Then, he took out the eight images and played them again.
Suddenly, he was stunned.
The people behind him were also stunned.
This...... That's too realistic, isn't it?
Compared to the special effects that took more than 1,000 people in the entire company to make in the past and spent several whole months, it is simply not too much.
The difference between cloud and mud is the difference between nature.
Next, he immediately found the best special effects part of "Star Wars Prequel".
It's still a judgment.
The computer effects of the Star Wars prequel are already good and represent the highest level of the era.
But in the eyes of their group of professionals, it is still a fake.
Especially if you look at it frame by frame, it's even more fake.
For example, alien spaceships, cosmic cities, and robot armies.
It's all very fake, it feels like a computer game.
And the special effects made by the magician of this set of movies are really too realistic.
Especially the shadows and three-dimensional effects, it's completely stunning.
No, no!
Tan Zhao immediately warned himself, how could he be so satisfied.
In the past 30 seconds, he was just an experimental result, not counting, and it was not perfect.
The actual effect may be better.
Suddenly, he yelled: "The special effects of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy have all been reversed. ”
"From now on, I will eat and live in the company, and I will not go home for a day if I don't finish my work. ”
"Enough coffee, enough tea, enough steak, enough rice, enough buns. ”
"With such a good tool, such a top-notch tool, before the release, if it is not done well, I think I can jump from the top floor of the company. ”
"Next, start assigning work!"
"Meeting, meeting, meeting!"
Two hours later, the meeting was over.
The work of each group has been assigned.
Of course, these tasks have already been allocated, but they are just being assigned again.
Everyone knows exactly what they have to do.
After all, it has been working for almost half a year.
Then, more than 1,000 people in the entire Dream Technology Company, especially more than 300 backbone engineers, worked day and night.
First use your own energy to support, and if you can't hold it up, you can use coffee to support it, and the coffee can't hold it anymore, so you go directly to the bed on the ground and lie down, and after sleeping for a few hours, you get up to work again.
With such advanced production tools, in fact, the special effects work of the entire trilogy has become very easy.
But......
It's really because of such awesome production tools that the whole company is more serious than before.
It's really a frame by frame adjustment, and a pixel by pixel is deducted.
And the passion for work is completely different from before.
The previous work was painful, because I probably knew what the effect would be after making it.
For example, the finished film of "Three-Body Problem 1", after the production is completed.
Tan Zhao almost pushed back, as if he was going to the execution ground, and he was unwilling to hand it over to Wang Huan.
Been begging to give them a little more time.
There is really a feeling of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.
And when the first stunt was completed, no one in the whole company applauded, because of absolute dissatisfaction with the effect.
It's just too painful.
At the time of production, I already knew that the effect was not good, and after I made it, it was really not good.
But now it's different.
Every time it is made, the effect is surprisingly good.
And the higher the requirements, the better the effect, even better than they imagined.
This kind of work is so cool, it seems that every piece of work can be rewarded.
And after it's done.
You'll be fascinated by it, and it's a great result, it's amazing.
But that's exactly what it is.
The people of Dream Technology are getting more and more discerning and picky.
The company has set up an audit team, composed of 20 people at the highest level.
After each special effect is completed, it is submitted to this review team for review.
As soon as more than five people are not satisfied, it is necessary to hit back and redo.
For each special effect, make the most detailed comments, which part is good and which part is not good.
Every working group has a work task.
If you don't succeed, you will deduct your salary and bonus, and you will continue to do it until it is done.
In the past, when the production effect was not good, the atmosphere of the company was quite relaxed.
Now that there are awesome production tools, the atmosphere of the company has become extremely serious, a bit militarized.
Truly more work, less work.
Make the best team and get a lot of prizes.
In this atmosphere, more than a thousand people in the entire company seemed to have entered a combat state.
Previously, the whole public opinion was criticizing them.
Boss Wang Huan spent so much money to support you, and you can't do special effects well, you want to ruin this movie, destroy Boss Wang Huan's hard work, and ruin his billions of investments.
And now, everyone is holding their breath.
With such an awesome tool, it must be done to the extreme, and everyone must be completely shocked.
Blind everyone's eyes.
In this atmosphere, many people can't even tell the difference between day and night.
This kind of crazy work, are you not afraid of sudden death?
It was a huge scandal.
.......................................
And just like that, time passed day by day.
July 18, 2007 is getting closer, and the release date of the movie is getting closer and closer.
The film really doesn't need publicity.
In the past two years, it has never faded out of the world's vision.
Especially when the time comes to 2007, next year is the Beijing Olympics.
There are more and more frictions and disputes taking place outside.
Some countries, as if grasping China's desire to host the Olympic Games as a weakness, have made all kinds of provocations and stimuli.
I don't know why.
Wang Huan's movie seems to have a certain sense of blood connection with the entire Olympic Games.
Not only domestic people think so, but world public opinion is also hyped up in this way.
Everyone knows that his "Three-Body Problem" is a disaster, and no one can save this movie. So did the Chinese run the Olympics well? The answer is obvious, their Olympics are also a disaster. ”
"Looking at the sky in the capital, the smog, the wind and sand, I feel that our lungs can't stand it for a few hours living there, let alone competing in the entire Olympic Games? ”
"I really admire the Chinese, they are really invincible, in this living environment, are their lungs okay?"
"I suggest that all athletes who go to Beijing to participate in the Olympics next year must wear masks, otherwise they will have lung disease when they return home. ”
Of course, to some extent, this is not a fiction, the weather in those years was really bad, and the smog was really serious.
But tying the three-body movie to the Olympics is nonsense.
In another world, China presented its best Olympic Games.
And the president of the United States has been asked two questions a lot lately.
Do you remember the gamble between you and Wang Huan? Now that two years have passed, are you ready?
The President of the United States laughed and said, I was ready all the time, but I don't think he was ready.
And one more question: Mr. President, will you go to the opening ceremony of the Olympics next year?
The President said: I don't know yet, because I'm very disappointed in some things.
The reports of the previous months have been broadcast in turn.
It's an interview with someone who watched the first version of the film.
At that time, it was completely unanimous in decline.
But almost all the interviewees were full of absolute affirmation about the film's live shooting, the film's script, and the movie's picture, and even called it a miracle in film history.
But now, most of the media have deleted all the good side of these interviews.
The whole story is on the bad side.
"This movie is a disaster, the special effects of the first part are so bad, I can't imagine how bad the second and third parts will be. ”
"Wang Huan's stubbornness ruined the film, and we Industrial Light & Magic were willing to help him make special effects, but he refused, ridiculous nationalism. ”
Next, many reporters interviewed top Hollywood production companies, as well as the world's top special effects studios.
"Hello, in the past six months, has Wang Huan asked you to help make movie special effects?" the reporter asked.
"Not at all. ”
The reporter asked again: "Then do you think that in the past half a year, Wang Huan's company has improved the special effects enough?"
In the past six months, Wang Huan's Dream Technology Company has been very unable to improve the special effects of the movie, and it will be even worse. The finished film that everyone saw before was the first one, and it was already the easiest with special effects and the least number of special effects. In the latter two films, the special effects workload has increased dramatically, and the difficulty is I don't know how many times, so they can complete it on time, which is already very remarkable, and they can't be demanding effects at all. ”
"You mean, the effect of the second and third parts of "The Three-Body Problem" will only be worse than the first, right?" the reporter asked.
"Yes, that's what it means!"
The reporter asked, "If you were Wang Huan's, what would you do at this time?"
"Delay, keep delaying, don't release on schedule, or it's a complete disaster. ”
It's not just one Hollywood giant that says this, it's almost all of Hollywood's top production companies that have this attitude.
Several of the world's top special effects studios also have this attitude.
Postpone!
Don't take out the semi-finished product for release, otherwise it will be completely ruined.
But if it is postponed and cannot be released as scheduled, Wang Huan and the President of the United States will lose the gamble completely.
..........................................
The Hollywood giants are this attitude.
And the countless people below are two completely opposite attitudes.
One of the parties believes that the release will be postponed until the special effects technology has improved and can match the movie, and then it will be played. Don't ruin this movie just because you're in a hurry.
Those who hold this opinion are all fans of Wang Huan, and they are also very iron fans.
They love the three-body problem from the bottom of their hearts and like Wang Huan.
I can't bear to see a classic ruined.
This is the same as the three-body fan of another world.
What? The three-body movie that was made before has no news about its release?
That's really good news, don't release it, don't release it.
The other side believes that it must be released as scheduled.
No matter how bad or bad the movie is, it must be released on schedule.
This group of people is not a big deal to see the excitement.
In short, everyone remembered July 18.
This movie really doesn't need publicity.
Turn on the TV, open newspapers and magazines, open the website.
The news about this film is completely overwhelming.
Of course, no one cares about the three-body problem movie and the victory or defeat of "Star Wars Prequel" now.
Because everybody knows the result.
The special effects of the three-body problem movie are so bad, how can you win?
The "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy grossed $2.7 billion at the global box office.
It's impossible to dream of it.
Therefore, the gamble between Wang Huan and the President of the United States will undoubtedly be lost.
According to the agreement, Wang Huan will be completely hidden and disappear from the vision of everyone in this world.
Countless people around the world are looking forward to the arrival of July 18.
Whatever?
The ugly daughter-in-law is going to see her in-laws.
A work that has been in the making for two years must be brought out to meet people.
Let's see, how bad is it?
..........................................
June 30th.
Eighteen days until July 18.
More than 1,000 employees of Dreamland Technology have been working hard for more than half a year.
Finally, all the special effects of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy have been made.
Wang Huan also edited out three movies in the shortest possible time.
Next, it is necessary to make copies and distribute them to all theaters in China.
Wang Huan has already seen the effect of the finished film.
That...... It's ......
There are no words to describe it.
At least more than a dozen years ahead of this era.
Amazing.
It's shocking.
But even so, Wang Huan still entered the Tower of the Last Days with this movie.
Give Civilization one final improvement.
This time it's the color contrast that has improved.
And even more important is to improve the 3D stereoscopic effect.
This three-dimensional effect is already very awesome.
After the transformation of the Tower of Doomsday Civilization Star, it suddenly went to the next level.
There is an epoch-making work about the 3DIMAX movie, and that is "Avatar".
Many people say that this is a revolution in cinema, dividing the entire film industry into pre-Avatar and post-Avatar.
Of course, this is an exaggeration, but the weight of the avatar can be seen.
And in this world, there is also this movie, but it is still being filmed, and it will not be able to meet the world until the year after tomorrow.
In another world, Avatar swept the world and swept the domestic film industry.
The domestic box office was 1.4 billion, which directly more than tripled the record.
The world box office is $2.7 billion.
Is it because of his plot?
It's good, but it's not that good.
It's all because of the so-called visual revolution, the so-called creation of new worlds, the so-called 3D effects, the so-called IMAX and so on.
However, with Wang Huan's investment regardless of the cost and the support of the state regardless of the cost.
Under the full software production of Movie Magician in 2039, after the final civilization star renders the entire movie.
This movie surpasses "Avatar" in every aspect of its effect
On the 3D effect, exceed.
In terms of big scenes, it is far more than that.
On the depth of the plot, exceed.
On the phenomenal power, on the impact of the picture, on the mystery, it is still exceeded.
The ecology of Pandora is wonderful and fascinating.
But in terms of mystery and attraction, it should not be as good as the deep space of the universe, because it can't compare to multi-dimensional space, and it can't compare to the war of cosmic civilizations.
Especially the unfolding of the nine-latitude proton.
There is also a drop of water from the Trisolarans, which has wiped out countless starfleets on the entire earth.
There is also a two-way foil attack, and the entire solar system is hit into a two-dimensional plane.
These pictures are incomparable.
That kind of impact is really not comparable to the avatar riding hundreds of dragons to attack human helicopters.
As for "Star Wars Prequel", it was killed in seconds.
..........................................
July 1st.
Wang Huan once again invited the core members of the "Three-Body Problem" crew, as well as the leaders of the Film Bureau, and which national-level leaders came to see the finished film.
Of course, this early broadcast is in the capital.
Performed in one of the best IMAX theaters.
Before the broadcast, Wang Huan smiled and said: "Leaders, colleagues, before this movie is played, I ask everyone to prepare for it, because the movie effect you see next will be too shocking and far beyond your imagination." ”
"Please everyone, wear your 3D glasses and keep them clean, because you are about to have an unprecedented 3D storm. ”
The actors and directors present immediately burst out laughing.
All well-intentioned, of course.
Huanzi, don't bluff.
Isn't it just a 3D movie? It's not that I haven't seen it, and it's mysterious.
But everyone was finally relieved.
Seeing Wang Huan's attitude so confident, it is a good thing after all.
They were really worried that when the screening period came, the finished film would still be terrible, and it would be a disaster.
Looking at Wang Huan's attitude now, it should be not bad.
But...... In just over half a year, what great progress can Wang Huan's newly established stunt company have?
Can't think of it at all?
Unlikely.
The film industry is too difficult to progress.
It doesn't need to be too effective, it can reach the level of the United States ten years ago.
Everyone is satisfied, and it is not considered to destroy this not a huge book.
As for winning the "Star Wars Prequel" series, then everyone dare not think about it.
After putting on your glasses.
The movie has officially begun!
Almost instantly.
At the first minute, everyone was stunned.
This...... This effect is too good!
..........................................
Note: The second update was delivered, 15 minutes earlier than yesterday.
The monthly ticket list will be exploded at any time, and the distance is more than a dozen votes.
