"Hahaha, how could it be that I arranged it on purpose? This time it really was pure coincidence! ”

When Wang Wei came to the crew of "Fury Road" again, he noticed that director Lu Le's eyes were a little awe-inspiring, and he didn't know why for a while, until Shen Zhenyi revealed the other party's brain supplement about his "deliberate thinking", and couldn't help laughing.

"Mainly, is this too much of a coincidence?"

Shen Zhenyi blinked.

- Dunhuang just needed to "show weakness" to win more people's hearts, and the next three movies released were all by female directors who were not well-known, which was originally a disadvantage, but to some extent it became an advantage.

As Shen Zhenyi said, if this is God's will, then God is too close to his father!

However, this is really one of the rare coincidences that Wang Wei did not have any cheating, or rather, luck.

"In fact, just think about it, even if there is no such thing as the five major joint suppression, the release schedule of these three movies will not change much."

Wang Wei crossed his fingers and explained,

"Director Liang Guanyi likes to work slowly and carefully, so her "Barbarian Sister" will not be released until at least this summer, considering the subject matter, it is naturally suitable to be released on Valentine's Day in early August;"

""Resident Evil" directed by He Wenying, because it has to cooperate with the linkage of film and games, and the special effects studio was initially built, everything is starting from scratch, and the progress is not fast, so it will be delayed to the National Day file;"

"As for this "Fury Road", you know that the project was established the latest, the special effects are the most complicated, and it can be released before the end of the year, and Director Lu Le can be regarded as controlling the filming schedule very well......"

Well, it's not unreasonable, wait-

"It's not because of this coincidence that the Big Five feel that Dunhuang is not a big threat in the second half of the year, so they are so simple to start, right?"

Shen Zhenyi suddenly realized a problem.

Wang Wei was stunned, thought about it, and nodded helplessly, "Maybe you're right......

Because of these three films, Wang Wei only gave a story framework, and then handed it over to the director and editorial department for reference or improvement, so he did not sign the script, and in the eyes of outsiders, this is obviously not "produced by Wang Wei";

Look at the director again, in addition to the theme of "Savage Sister" is suitable for female directors, "Resident Evil" and "Fury Road" are relatively grand sci-fi films, can women really hold up?

This is placed in the big five, no, in the eyes of all competitors, isn't it a soft persimmon?

- However, if the Big Five really think so, it is definitely the wrong "persimmon"!

Wang Wei thought silently.

Don't look at the production team of this film, most of them are women, and he has to learn from them in terms of level.

No, as "Fury Road" only has some shots left in the studio, Wang Wei is also coming more and more frequently - on the one hand, he has to supervise the post-production, and at the same time, he also sees what new technologies can be used for the shooting of new films.

In this regard, director Lu Le both refused and hoped.

On the one hand, she certainly wants to be in full control of her work – which can be said to be the instinct of a director.

There is no way, as the boss of the investor, Wang Wei is in the name of producer. And unlike the average producer who is not actually proficient in directing films, he is an excellent director of commercial films.

In addition, the leading actor and another producer is his girlfriend, if he often hangs around on the set, then Lu Leke will become a complete puppet.

But on the other hand, she also hopes to be guided by a better director to minimize the risk.

This made her very conflicted.

Wang Wei is also a director himself, so naturally he will not fail to see this, so he rarely directly intervenes in the filming of the crew; Even if he frequently appears on the set now, it is more in the name of communication rather than guidance.

So, in addition to him, there were also directors He Wenying and Zhuang Geng.

Needless to say, He Wenying has long been familiar with director Lu Le because of the contact in the production of special effects; Although Zhuang Geng is not a technical maniac, he is also very interested in new technologies.

At this time, several people were watching the filming of a green screen scene-

This is the scene in which the convoy rushes into a storm mixed with lightning, tornadoes, and dust, and the animation preview of this scene was made before filming to determine the scale of the scene, the distance between the storm and the car, the shape of the tornado, and so on.

When filming officially began, the set was surrounded by green screens, and some giant blowers blew the set into dust, and the actors could only imagine themselves surrounded by a storm in the dust, making very nervous, frightened expressions......

After filming this scene, several directors gathered in front of the monitor to discuss the effect of replacing it with CG special effects in post.

"In this way, regardless of the cost, all-green screen shooting is already possible?"

At the end of the discussion, Zhuang Geng, who was not even skilled in ordinary green screen techniques, was shocked.

"I can't do it with the current technology, and even if I can, I still prefer the combination of live action and CG compared to full green screen shooting, which has a sense of substance and can save a lot of costs."

Lu Le said disapprovingly.

He Wenying shook her head: "When all-green screen shooting becomes popular on a large scale, the cost will come down; If the cost of game development is evenly apportioned, the overall cost is lower; In comparison, whether it is artificial scenery or physical props, it can basically only be used once, which is actually quite wasteful......"

——After Wang Wei proposed the business strategy of film and game linkage, He Wenying, as a pioneer, is certainly a blue thread, but her harvest is also great.

At least, she has a clear direction for the evolution of green screen and special effects technology.

And Shen Zhenyi, the only one on the scene who is not a director, has a wilder idea: "Actually, it's not impossible to have the best of both worlds, at least for a series of big productions." ”

As soon as she rolled her eyes, she took Wang Wei as an example, "Your "Jurassic Park" must set up a video studio, I think, it is better to build a real Jurassic Park!" ”

"While the cost of the scene will definitely go up a lot, overall, it's a lot of benefits—"

"First of all, it can significantly reduce the cost of renting a space in series; Secondly, as long as there are enough details, many of the pictures that originally required the use of computer special effects can be shot in real time. ”

"Although it is still inevitable to use computer technology to retouch pictures, the workload and cost must have been reduced a lot. In this way, the extra cost of building a 'park' has been basically flattened. ”

After a pause, the corners of Shen Zhenyi's mouth hooked,

"What's more, if all goes well and the series is a success, the studio can also be used as a tourist attraction – and that becomes the biggest merch for the film!"

“……”

Several others were stunned.

Nowadays, the revenue from peripheral products accounts for an increasing proportion of the revenue of film companies, but generally speaking, a peripheral such as a "park" is really not something that anyone can think of.

Lu Le was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but applaud: "This idea is so good, why didn't I think of it?" In this way, these custom vehicle props of "Fury Road" can also be sold as peripheral products! ”

"Leave me that fire-breathing guitar, I'm going to collect it!" He Wenying immediately booked a "peripheral".

For a while, the maid provided a number of feasible solutions on how to squeeze the value of new technologies and movie props.

Wang Wei and Zhuang Geng were dumbfounded.

After a while, they looked at each other, and the same thought welled up in their hearts - if anyone dared to underestimate this group of women, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
