Chapter 480: Zhou Yi who started the involution [6K] [Repair]
There's an old saying:
Difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart!
In fact, Goofy has never understood the relationship between film and television special effects and animation production.
After all, the special effects in domestic TV dramas in recent years are almost the same as those in cartoons.
Therefore, for a long time, Goofy thought that the people who did animation and film and television special effects were the same people.
It wasn't until more and more movies were made later that Gao Fei gradually understood that although there is a blockbuster intersection between animation and film and television special effects, they also have their own reserves.
In short, you have me, and I have you.
This is also the reason why many animators can do film and television special effects, and film and television special effects artists sometimes participate in animation films.
Therefore, when I learned that Goofy had acquired Digital Domain, I was happiest than the animated film studios under Dream Valley Pictures.
From "Big Fish and Begonia", "The Return of the Great Sage" to "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World".
Several animation directors counted one by one, and they all rushed to the Zhouyi Building as soon as possible, lest Gao Fei forget that there was still a group of them.
However, the reason why dumplings and others are so anxious is mainly because of software patent issues in the field of special effects production.
Technically speaking, the level of the top domestic special effects artists is not bad.
After all, there are actually a lot of special effects production experts in China who have come back from Hollywood.
But special effects production is different from movies, and it can't be supported by one person, or a few people.
Because you don't have a patent for some special effects software, then even if you use it, you can't see the light.
And this is not a problem of one or two software, but a problem of the ecology of special effects production.
You must know that a Hollywood special effects movie often requires the use of more than 50 professional software in the post-production process of special effects.
For example, Cameron's "Avatar", which swept the world a few years ago, had a production cost of $237 million alone, of which the special effects production cost accounted for $150 million.
Special effects accounted for more than 60% of the total investment.
This is also the reason why such a big investment movie has a group of unknown people starring.
First, you really don't need the fame of an actor to support the scene.
Second, it is also because the producer really has no money.
At least the dads don't dare to let Cameron go big anymore, otherwise they will go to the San Fernando Valley to sell their butts en masse.
But then again, special effects funds are accounting for an increasing proportion of Hollywood films.
But the price to be paid is also staggering.
For example, a workstation-level computer configuration worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, special effects companies often have to buy hundreds of units at every turn.
In this way, there is often no way to eat the special effects work of the next movie.
For example, the post-production of special effects for "Avatar" was led by Digital Domain, which united 48 special effects companies and hired 1,858 special effects personnel, thus building a huge rendering factory.
Thousands of workstations worked day and night for more than 250 days to complete all the special effects work.
Therefore, the work of special effects rendering is far more than any part of the filmmaking process.
If it weren't for this, Hollywood would not have the news that special effects blockbusters are frequently exploding, but special effects companies are frequently bankrupt.
Of course, now those Mi devils have also learned to be smart.
Because of the acquisition of Digital Domain, Goofy has also heard about the movement over there.
I heard that a group of small and medium-sized Hollywood special effects companies have recently begun to try to outsource the heaviest work and the most labor-expensive rendering business.
To put it simply, it is to follow the example of the industrial group of the United States and transfer labor-intensive industries out.
In this way, they can rely on their special effects software patents to do the easiest job and share the most money.
And their strategy is already paying off.
At present, in the world, the OEM special effects market is basically a three-point world, Huaxia and Stick.
Southeast Asian countries, where labor costs are lower, are also faintly showing interest in this market.
But in general, there are still the most special effects foundries in Huaxia at the moment.
And this is actually the underlying logic of Goofy's training business for Digital Domain.
After all, no matter how good the technology is, the trained people must always have a job to do!
Otherwise, no matter how strong the strength of Digital Domain is, no matter how many honors there are, it may not be able to open up the market for special effects training.
But then again, the reason why Goofy let Digital Domain open up the training section is actually hidden a very important purpose.
That is to reduce the labor cost of Digital Domain in the process of special effects production in disguised form by means of special effects training.
Because the trainees trained from Digital Domain are equivalent to their free-range supernumerary employees.
Once they have a big job, they can come as soon as they are called, and they can come!
In this way, the company spent money in vain to support a group of post-production special effects artists in the off-season.
Therefore, after listening to his thoughts, Gao Fei directly sent this group of people to Jiang Hong's side.
After all, most of the dumplings have done a lot of side jobs before making animated movies.
Many of them have been involved in game production circles, and have even been key members of some game studios.
In this way, how could the goose give up this opportunity if it was too high to pluck its feathers.
So it was obvious that they were here to ask for money and people, but this group of animation directors were pulled by Jiang Hong to do coolies in a daze.
I have to say that in terms of being inappropriate, Gao Fei is becoming more and more inappropriate!
……
I don't know if I was stimulated by Goofy's words at the racecourse.
After filming "Heart Flower Road", Ning Hao wanted to rest for a few months, but was aroused by Gao Fei's speculation.
Although he didn't even have the most basic script idea, this did not prevent Ning Hao from pretending to be forced in front of Gao Fei and others.
Not to mention, Gao Fei was really taken aback by his idea.
You must know that he has long wanted to expand Zhou Yi's film genre, but he has never found a suitable project.
Therefore, as soon as Ning Hao started to speak, Gao Fei immediately set him up.
For a while, good words were stuffed into him one by one, and in the end, Ning Hao was embarrassed.
After all, before he had even skimmed the eight words of "sci-fi blockbuster", Gao Fei said that he was a master director of the founding school.
This...... No matter how thick-skinned this is, I can't stand it!
So Ning Hao, who originally just wanted to pretend to be in front of Gao Fei, was put up on a ladder by him and couldn't get up and down.
It hurt Ning Hao until he joined the investigation team of China Film, and he was full of science fiction films.
This situation made Xing Na look funny.
After all, she knows Ning Hao's temper best.
If Gao Fei hadn't forced him, then Ning Hao might have been lazy for a while!
You must know that when it comes to fishing, Ning Hao is at the level of the ashes!
Of course, Ning Hao is not the only one who is rising.
After the internal discussion meeting, Liu Yifei finally stopped salting fish.
Zhao Liying gave her a good start, which made Liu Yifei finally stop sitting at home and wait for the script to come to the door, and decided to take the initiative.
But not to mention, although the influence of the head film and television company is invisible and intangible.
But once Zhou Yi's artists take the initiative to collect, there are still far more opportunities than others.
It's like Liu Yifei, who accidentally found a good book under the recommendation of a friend.
……
"The whole book is so good! It's true! ”
"If it wasn't for Nana who recommended it to me, I really didn't expect that there would still be such a person as Xiong Dun."
Early the next morning, when Gao Fei had just arrived at the company.
Liu Yifei hurried to his office and talked to Gao Fei for a long time, trying to persuade him to agree to the project of "Get Out, Tumor".
Seeing her say this, Gao Fei suddenly spread his hands helplessly and said:
"Then you have to show me the script, what's the use of just listening to you!"
"If you don't give me a notebook, how can I set up a project?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yifei suddenly realized that the script was still in her hand, so she hurriedly handed it to Gao Fei.
Seeing this, Gao Fei shook his head speechlessly, and then opened the script and looked at it silently.
The script is not long, and Gao Fei finished reading it in less than ten minutes.
It's just that after reading the script, Gao Fei frowned and thought for half an hour.
How so......
Just like Liu Yifei said, "Get Out, Tumor" is indeed a rare good book.
Of course, the most impressive thing about this book is actually in Xiong Dun.
Because this book is based on Xiong Dun's comic of the same name "Get Out, Tumor-kun".
Its general content is mainly to tell the story of Xiong Don, who is suffering from cancer, and still laughs at life in the days of fighting against illness.
To be honest, after reading the information at the back of the script, Goofy could hardly imagine how the girl named Xiong Dun could have drawn such an optimistic comic despite suffering from illness!
You know, she has non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma will be very painful in the later stages.
Thinking of this, Goofy couldn't help but shake his head with emotion.
Ashamed? Or admiration?
Goofy doesn't know how to describe his mood at the moment!
However, after determining that the script was indeed feasible, Goofy also found an important problem.
So he immediately pressed his right hand on the script, looked at Liu Yifei on the sofa with inquiring eyes, and said:
"Have you ever thought about if you want to play Xiongton...... Then you have to shave your head when you shoot. ”
Even if Liu Yifei is Zhou Yi's veteran artist.
But when it comes to film and television production, Goofy won't give in.
After all, once he is satisfied with quality control, the quality of film and television dramas produced by Zhou Yi will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the scheme of disguising himself as a bald head by means of special effects makeup does not exist here at all.
It's just that I didn't expect that Liu Yifei didn't hesitate or fear at all when she heard this, and nodded solemnly:
"Don't worry, that's not a problem."
Seeing her say this, Gao Fei remembered that Liu Yifei had always had a deep obsession with shaving her head.
Although I don't know why she has such a strange idea, it is obvious that the problem of shaving her head is not a problem for Liu Yifei at all.
Thinking of this, Gao Fei immediately nodded, so he skipped this point and continued:
"Well, if shaving your head is acceptable, then you can give it a try."
"But let me warn you first, this kind of role is not so easy to play."
"Although Xiong Dun is optimistic, she is not the kind of heartless giggle."
"You must know that there is a great terror between life and death, and she can face life and death optimistically, which must have courage and faith that ordinary people are far from imagining."
"So, it's not so easy to bring out the essence of her."
"You'd better be prepared!"
As soon as Gao Fei's words came out, Liu Yifei couldn't help but be silent, because she really hadn't thought about it so deeply before.
Therefore, after listening to Gao Fei's words, Liu Yifei was not only a little hesitant in her heart.
However, after a moment of silence, Liu Yifei's eyes gradually became firm.
"I understand!"
"Tomorrow I'll go find a hospital to experience it on the spot."
"If it doesn't work in one day, it will take ten days, and if it doesn't work in a month, it will be half a year."
"I'll be able to do it!"
Seeing her say this, Gao Fei suddenly had nothing to say.
After all, this is a proven and very feasible approach.
You must know that the older generation of actors in the past will experience life before filming.
It can be as short as a few days or as long as a few months.
Anyway, the actors at that time would do this as long as they had time.
It's just that as the domestic film and television industry becomes more and more popular, these old habits are gradually forgotten.
Of course, there are not no actors in the circle who do this now.
For example, Gong Li, her habit of filming is to spend 2 to 3 months to experience life after receiving the book, and then spend 3 to 4 months acting in movies.
This makes her film production not high, and often there may not be a movie released in a year.
But to be honest, experiencing life is really very helpful for actors.
Therefore, seeing that Liu Yifei had done this, Gao Fei thought for a moment and then simply said:
"Okay, then in half a year!"
"By the time I finish filming "Fireworks in the Day", I think you should be almost ready here."
Seeing that Gao Fei finally nodded, Liu Yifei smiled at this time.
It's just that it's her first time working as a filmmaker after all, so there's still a lot she doesn't know.
So after rejoicing for a while, Liu Yifei didn't care about chatting with Gao Fei anymore, and turned around and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Gao Fei suddenly couldn't help but smile proudly at the corners of his mouth.
Sure enough, women shouldn't be too idle.
How nice it would be to arrange like this!
Let these strong women be busy, and naturally no one will come to trouble him!
Thinking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help but praise his wit.
It's just that compared with Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying, Yang Mi's luck is obviously worse.
Although she also wants to be like Zhao Liying, she can taste what it is like to be a producer.
But God didn't fulfill people's wishes.
She searched for a long time and didn't come across a decent film project.
Angry, Yang Mi had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and began to search for suitable adaptations into TV series in the company's copyright library.
……
Not to mention how Zhou Yi's three aunts and grandmothers are involuted.
After more than a month of running back and forth between the racecourse and the Zhouyi Building, Goofy soon joined the group again.
But this time, the location of Goofy's filming is a bit special.
Because the location chosen by the director happens to be Goofy's hometown - Ice City!
In the words of the director, Bingcheng's style is more in line with the movie.
Especially the ice city in winter, which is simply a background city that came out of the script.
To be honest, when Gao Fei heard director Diao Yinan say this reason, he really didn't know whether to thank him or beat him up.
After all, the city that is very compatible with the "heavy taste" elements of "adultery", "love", "broken corpses" and "throwing corpses" really doesn't sound like a good place!
Of course, the ice city in winter is not a good place.
It is important to know that since the beginning of meteorological records, the lowest temperature in Har Ice has reached -52.3°C.
And even in normal years, the outdoor temperature in winter is mostly around minus 30 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, when the average southerner first comes to the ice city, most of them will be frozen into everyone's girlfriends - the door is not out, the second door is not stepped, and they can only hide in the house and rely on the heating to survive!
Even if they resisted the cold outside temperature, Ice City still had a trick up their sleeve.
Because the city is located in the heart of Northeast Asia, there is a strong winter monsoon every winter.
This wind often blows from Siberia with a biting chill.
Wind speeds can reach 60 kilometers per hour or even higher at their peak.
In this wind, the cold sensation will be more intense and it will be more difficult for people to walk.
To put it mildly, if a girl is lighter, she will really be blown away by the wind!
For example, when she first arrived in Bingcheng, Gui Lunmei almost suffered a big loss by accident.
If it weren't for the agent around her who grabbed her in time, she would probably be blown upside down by the sudden wind!
Compared with Gui Lunmei, Gao Fei is much easier.
After all, this is the northwest wind from Siberia, which he has drunk since he was a child and has long been used to it.
It's just that to be honest, no matter how used to it, it should be cold and cold.
And when he thought that the entire film, the entire 260 scenes had to be filmed in the ice city, and it was still filmed in the coldest time period of the ice city, Gao Fei had the urge to kick a man.
Diao Yinan didn't care about this.
Even if he was frozen into a dog, he still couldn't help but laugh and ridicule Gao Feidao:
"As the old saying goes, the son is not ugly, and the dog is not poor."
"Teacher Gao, this is your hometown."
"It's not easy for you to go home, and if you don't have a little joy of returning to your hometown, why are you still buried!"
Hearing this, Gao Fei suddenly rolled his eyes angrily.
"Nonsense, if you really don't dislike it, then those northeasterners in Hainan are ghosts every winter?"
As soon as these words came out, Diao Yinan was speechless.
……
Nov. 1, 10 a.m.
Ice City, Delhi Community.
After a simple start-up ceremony, "Fireworks in the Day" finally officially started filming.
It's just that this first scene made Goofy quite painful.
Because this opening scene is the scene where Zhang Zili and his daughter-in-law have sex in the hotel.
It was also after this applause that his daughter-in-law left him completely.
Let's not talk about the moral of such a plot, this scene alone is very embarrassing.
Because Gao Fei and the actor Ni Jingyang, who plays his wife, that is, the heroine "Pei Pei" of "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", can count the words they have said in private with a single slap.
It can be said that the rusty cannot be re-sparse.
Therefore, let two men and women who have known each other for less than three days filming a bed scene, you can imagine how uncomfortable both parties will be.
But Diao Yinan is stubborn and thinks that the current state of the two is just right.
Because Zhang Zili and his wife are now the most familiar strangers.
Even if the two ended up breaking up, it was a condition that his wife had to agree to in order to get rid of him.
So Ni Jingyang's sense of alienation from Gao Fei now is exactly what Diao Yinan wants.
That's what he wants...... The two are obviously doing the most intimate things, but it seems to be thousands of miles away.
Only in this way can the image of the character of Zhang Zili be established at the beginning of the movie:
He is a middle-aged man with strong desires!
This kind of confusion between desire and reality, as well as the helplessness that was forced to be suppressed in the end, is what Diao Yinan wants.
It can be said that at the beginning of the movie, he has already revealed the core of the movie.
Seeing that Diao Yinan said so, Gao Fei didn't say anything more.
As for Ni Jingyang, it's even harder to say anything.
So after a simple play, the two went to bed unfamiliarly and skillfully.
I have to say that Ni Jingyang is worthy of being a female model, she is beautiful and smooth, and her figure is really speechless.
As soon as Gao Fei got started, he noticed that the delicate body under him was not good.
Of course, there was nothing he could do in plain sight.
Therefore, we can only act on the illusion of intimacy without touching the bottom line according to past experience.
It's just that the bed scenes in literary films are different from the bed scenes in other film and television dramas.
Some directors demand poetry, some focus on romance, and so on.
And Diao Yinan is a naked desire in this scene.
So that's it, for the first time, Goofy was not rough enough in the bed scene.
This made Goofy really speechless, after all, he didn't want to go to the sea.
In the end, Ni Jingyang took the initiative to speak and asked Gao Fei to come as soon as possible, everything was for the sake of the play.
Gao Fei was presumptuous, and although the flirtatious Ni Jingyang looked resistant, he still couldn't help panting.
Seeing this situation, Diao Yinan behind the monitor nodded with satisfaction.
An imbalance of desire! That's how he wants it to feel......
