"If Cameron accepts the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" and says he wants to shoot 3D, he, a technical geek, will probably study with his team to improve the camera, and maybe he will actually develop a private 3D camera, but not necessarily..."
Just as Wang Shang was analyzing, another piece of news hit him again.
Universal Pictures at Paramount and Warner announced another movie project after "The Lord of the Rings" - "Harry Potter", with a planned investment of US$200 million! The director is Alfonso Cuaron, the former
The director of "Harry Potter 3" directed by Time and Space.
And they also confidently announced that "Harry Potter" will also start production in 3D!!
The only thing left for Wang Shang at this time is to be stunned!!
"Harry Potter is out too?"
Speaking of "Harry Potter", we have to say that it has created brilliant achievements in time and space. The eight "Harry Potter" movies have grossed a total of 7.806 billion US dollars around the world. Using the current ratio, it is directly 71 billion yuan.
The box office is extremely crazy!!
Last year, Wang Shang noticed that the novel version of "Harry Potter" began to become popular around the world, driven by several behind-the-scenes promoters. Its extremely realistic (principle) explanations made countless people believe in the existence of magic.
.
Now that 2008 has begun, the popularity of the "Harry Potter" novels is no less than that of the ancestor of magic novels, "The Lord of the Rings", and it has considerable popularity in China.
When Wang Shang saw that "Harry Potter" was gradually selling well all over the world, he felt terrible. He felt that it would be put on the screen soon.
Things turned out just as Wang Shang expected, "Harry Potter" was really put on the screen, and he resolutely chose to hit 3D.
"It seems that the plan needs to be advanced! We need to fight for the first soup!!" Wang Shang thought.
"There is no way to shoot "Avatar". It takes too long. It is probably difficult to complete it before "Lord of the Rings 1" and "Harry Potter 1"."
""The Matrix" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" have no basis in novels in this time and space. There is no way to compare with "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" which have huge readership support. Even if they win, they will lose, so
Not for the moment."
Wang Shang thought about it, and finally fixed his eyes on the four characters "Transformers" written on the table...
""Transformers" toys, comics, animations, and games now have a high reputation around the world. And it is no smaller than "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". It is a good target for filming. And the Transformers models are all
It has already been designed when making toys, and the script is also ready..."
"Okay, that's it!!"
Finally, Wang Shang made the decision to film "Transformers"!
But if you want to shoot in 3D, you need to modify the script. The scenes in 3D and 2D will be slightly different.
Moreover, the camera is still a little bit warm, so there is no way to officially start shooting for the time being.
After Wang Shang returned to the company, he quickly summoned all the current computer special effects production members of Tianwang Film and Television Company. He issued a task to them: "You must be familiar with "Transformers". Some of you used to be familiar with it."
Someone has participated in their image design. Now I ask you to transform the images of each Transformers inside based on their original appearance."
"For example, Optimus Prime's current shape is a bit earthy. He needs to be more majestic and majestic!!"
"The other Autobots are far less domineering than the Decepticon Transformers. I need you to improve on this."
"Another point is to design them to consist of at least thousands of moving digital parts."
Wang Shang kept saying requests one after another.
Everyone in the special effects team felt like big trouble was coming as they listened.
The birth of a Transformer can be roughly divided into seven steps: conceptual design, mechanical setting, drawing the internal mechanical skeleton and external armor, and preliminary attempts at three-dimensional transformation, deepening the Transformer design to a level close to completion, detail modification and polishing, and head design.
Members of the modeling team will 3D the design.
Take Optimus Prime as an example. The parts currently designed on it include a total of 10,108 parts, 1.8 million polygonal faces and 2,000 material maps.
Trying to improve it is definitely a huge project that affects the whole body.
However, everyone felt extremely excited: "Boss, are we going to start filming "Transformers"?"
Wang Shang smiled and nodded.
Seeing Wang Shang's response, everyone was pleasantly surprised!!
"Very good!!"
“It’s finally done!!”
"I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and now it's finally here!"
"Transformers" has long been famous all over the world. As a product of Tianwang Film and Television Company, the employees of Tianwang Film and Television Company can be said to have a unique feeling about it. In their view, "Resident Evil" and "Fast and Furious"
》In terms of background, it cannot be compared to "Transformers" in any case. In their hearts, "Transformers" should be the signature, honor and symbol of Tianwang Film and Television Company.
Therefore, they had long hoped to make it into a movie, but unfortunately they waited and waited, but there was no news, which disappointed them.
And now, Wang Shang personally admitted this, how could they not be overjoyed.
"Promise to complete the mission!!" They said decisively, as if they had been given a shot of blood.
——————————
Ever since Paramount, Warner, and Universal announced that "Lord of the Rings 1" and "Harry Potter 1" would be filmed in 3D, the world's movies have begun to take off.
We are currently filming "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", "Wall-E", "Batman Begins 2", "The Day the Earth Stood Still", "Up" and "New Moon", which are scheduled to be released this year or next year.
》 and so on can not help but be eclipsed by it.
3D seems to be the theme this year.
Although 3D has already existed, there is currently no investment exceeding US$200 million.
Because 3D is still a pitfall, there are still countless problems to be solved. Due to technical problems, it is difficult for the movie to exceed 100 minutes, and many viewers said that not only did they not feel the visual feast after watching it, but they also felt dizzy, nauseated and made them want to vomit.
So when "Lord of the Rings 1" and "Harry Potter 1" bravely announced that they would be shot in 3D, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. However, other film companies did not dare to try it easily, thinking that they would already have it anyway.
It's hard to catch up if you're one step behind. It's better to wait and let "Lord of the Rings 1" and "Harry Potter 1" explore the road ahead. If the market is broad, follow up quickly.
In China, there are basically no 3D movies that have appeared. At this time, due to the news of the start of filming of "Lord of the Rings 1" and "Harry Potter 1", the concept of 3D movies began to enter the public eye.
“It’s amazing that there is such a thing~~”
“Although I don’t understand what it is, it looks awesome.”
"3D has appeared in the United States since the 1960s. And many theaters in North America have already started showing 3D short films early. There is not much movement in China. It is lagging behind..."
In China, most people don't know what 3D movies are.
At this time, the topic of 3D began to become increasingly popular in China.
Many film companies saw this opportunity and wanted to get involved. However, after seeing the technical requirements required for 3D movies, they were immediately discouraged. It was too high-end and they almost looked up.
Within two days, some film media and newspapers began to analyze the major domestic film companies and the domestic technical level. They quickly came to a conclusion: With China's current film technology, there is no way to do it without receiving foreign aid.
A 3D movie was made. And no director in China had experience in 3D shooting.
After Wang Shang and Liu Xi played at the Haizhu City Playground, they bought a newspaper and read it while eating. As a result, they happened to see the analysis of this newspaper.
Wang Shang was happy.
Without myself, really no one would make a long 3D movie, but now that I have myself, nothing is a problem. I am not lacking in technology, money, and courage, and there is nothing that can stop me.
"What are you laughing at??" Liu Xi asked curiously as she put two bowls of corn keel soup on the table. The weather was still a bit cold at this time, so Liu Xi wore a sports winter coat and added a pair of
The ponytail is suitable for a light touch, and the dimples are full of youthfulness.
Wang Shangcai flew from Shanghai to Haizhu last night. He was taken to the amusement park early this morning and started playing like crazy. He was really tired at this time.
Wang Shang didn't answer, just smiled and handed the newspaper over.
"3D?? What is 3D?" Liu Xi looked sideways at Wang Shang, with two question marks on her head, and her two big eyes were very cute.
Wang Shang smiled and explained to her: "3D is the abbreviation of 'threedimens' in English, which means three-dimensional. In movies, after certain technical processing, people can feel that the things in the movie appear on the screen.
Outside, surrounding the audience, this is a 3D movie."
Then Wang Shang introduced her to the principle of 3D, which is the visual deviation of the eyes, and then told her about the production methods, such as polarizers.
Liu Xi: "It doesn't sound difficult, right?"
Wang Shang shook his head: "No, it's quite difficult. The first thing is the camera. Without a good camera, it can't even capture the real scene, let alone the computer's CG image turned into 3D. It's even more difficult than shooting the real scene."
"In other words, the teams that filmed "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" have found new technologies for shooting 3D?"
Wang Shang nodded: "Yes, even if not, it's not far off, because the old technology can't support the demand for making big movies."
"If China wants to make 3D movies, won't it have to wait a few years?"
Wang Shang heard this and smiled: "Haha, you underestimate me. I will not lag behind them. I will take you to see 3D next time."
After Wang Shang's explanation, she realized that her boyfriend had started preparing for it early and had now successfully developed a new 3D shooting technology.
"Uncle is so awesome!!"
