"OK, we're here, thank you all for your participation!"
In a training center of Paramount Company, the American instructor finished the course for the day and walked out without stopping too much.
"..."
Guo Fan looked at his notes and frowned. It had been a week since he knew it, but he was not satisfied with today's class.
Because what we are talking about today is special effects, the overall description is very detailed, but when it comes to the specific process, it is all a mosaic. These things are core technologies, how can we let others know!
The English proficiency of the five directors varies widely. There are interpreters, Chinese courseware, and real-person translators on site, so they can basically understand it.
There was also a filming team that was like tarsal maggots, oh no, they followed the filming closely, saying that they would cut it into several episodes and put them on the grain of wheat. It is said that Mr. Yu even gave it a name "Where Are We Going, Director?"
"This beauty is so stingy. She made a bunch of mosaics and let us watch pornographic films!"
Wu Jing is the number one social hero. He is curious about everything and dares to say anything. He slams his notebook down to show his dissatisfaction.
"You know it, but it's impossible to show it to us. It's all patented."
Ning Hao packed up, stood up and said: "There is no class in the afternoon, I will go to Hollywood for a walk, which of you will go?"
"Still spinning? I want to go back to sleep!"
"I'm watching the game today!"
"What game? Kobe?"
"Of course Kobe!"
"Oh, let's go together!"
The five people have different personalities. They acted together in the beginning, but now they are living their own lives. After all, they are all successful people. Can they really act like international students?
While talking, everyone packed up their books, carried their bags and prepared to leave.
They glanced at each other inadvertently, but they were not as leisurely as before, but there was a hint of seriousness and crisis hidden in them.
Before coming, everyone knew that there was a gap, but they didn’t know where it was. After coming, the instructors took apart American film and television production, crushed it into pieces and told them how this part was made and how this part was made.
Except for special effects, every link will be introduced to them in detail.
It is in this meticulousness that everyone truly understands what the gap is!
Domestic production is like a handicraft workshop, lagging behind in all aspects from concepts to management methods to specific technologies. Several people unanimously thought of what Yao Yuan said in the show: "If Hollywood stagnates, we will continue to catch up, at least
It will take 10 years to equalize.”
This week, they did not get together to discuss, and no one mentioned the word "industrialization," but they could tell by looking at each other that the impact was in their hearts.
In reality, Ning Hao, Guo Fan, Chen Sicheng, Xiao Yang, and Lu Yang went to Hollywood to study, and they all handed in their homework when they came back.
Ning Hao filmed a movie called "Crazy Aliens" and then transitioned to work behind the scenes.
Guo Fan really started grinding "The Wandering Earth".
Xiao Yang's talent as a director is low, and "Weather Prediction" hits the market.
Lu Yang had an idea, but reluctantly tied up the big power and made a film "Assassination of Novelists" that was anticlimactic but ended very well.
Chen Sicheng is the smartest. He played a new trick: first find a foreign masterpiece, then remake it, set it overseas, and then find domestic actors to transplant it commercially.
Not only did he do this for himself - "Detective Chinatown 2", but he also became the boss and producer, supporting a group of directors to join this kind of gameplay, such as "Manslaughter" and the newly released "Her Disappearance".
In terms of directing level, he is not that high, but he is smart and can hit the G point of the market.
So why set the background overseas?
The themes of these films he made are not harmonious, and there are restrictions on domestic production. This is similar to Yao Yuan, but Yao Yuan's scale is larger, and the basic purpose is to go overseas. Does Chen Sicheng go overseas and sell domestically, or is it for the domestic market...
Shan said that at this moment, the five of them were about to go back.
The assistant lady hurried over and said, "Mr. Yu wants to see you. The car is waiting outside!"
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I'll let you go. I heard that Mr. Yao is here too."
The five of them were confused, so they had to carry their bags, get in the car, and head to Hugelive's Hollywood office building. Along the way, Wu Jing was only worried about the NBA game in the evening.
…………
"Yao!"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
In a screening room in the Hollywood Building, Sequoia Capital's Rouloff hugged Yao Yuan, and representatives from General Atlantic Investment Group came over to greet them.
These two companies are Hugelive’s major U.S. shareholders.
"Time flies so fast, and it's been a year before I know it. We are all looking forward to your first original work. Don't let us down. This is worth 200 million US dollars!"
Rouloff said half-jokingly - they invested US$200 million in advance.
"With 200 million US dollars in exchange for 2 million paying members, do you think the business will be successful?" Yao Yuan said with a smile.
"Two million? Is this your goal for this year?"
Ruloff was a little surprised and reminded: "Netizens all over the world don't like to pay to watch movies, including the United States. It's not easy to take $8.9 out of the pockets of these stingy people."
"No, no, our initial positioning will be in North America and Asia. I will dig out these 2 million people in the United States and Hong Kong."
"Oh fine……"
After thinking for a while, Roeloff understood his development route and said: "If you can really complete the task, Wall Street will line up to pay for you! But before that, I want to see how good your quality is.
"
With that said, the two of them took their seats in the front row.
This is a small screening room that can accommodate 100 people. Shareholders, internal staff, media, senior practitioners, and random audiences were invited to the final screening of "The Black Robe".
People came in one after another. Yu Jiajia came and sat on the right side of Yao Yuan. After a while, Ning Hao and five other people also came. They didn't dare to go up and sat at the back consciously.
Not long after, the first episode of "Black Robe Pickets" started to be played, and only this episode was played.
This is a world where superheroes and ordinary people coexist.
A company has mastered Compound No. 5 and can mass-produce superheroes, and they have created the most popular "Super Seven", like an idol group.
Among them was a guy named Locomotive, a black man who liked to take drugs. His only other ability was that he was fast and could run like a train.
Not long after the opening, the protagonist was holding his girlfriend's hand and making love to each other on the street. Just as the two were about to kiss, the girlfriend suddenly disappeared.
Here is a set of slow motion shots.
As if a strong wind blew by in an instant, the protagonist's hair fell to one side, the muscles of his cheeks rippled, and a puff of blood burst out in the air and splashed on his face.
Follow the camera pan.
It was not a pile of blood, but his girlfriend's whole body became mushy as if she had been thrown into a blender for five minutes. Large pools of blood and flesh were floating in the air, mixed with teeth and pieces of meat.
