Wang Shang stood in the office, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the densely packed cars parked in front of the Tianwang Building, as well as the somewhat crowded flow of people flowing towards the Tianwang Building.
It is obvious that most of these people are media people carrying cameras and microphones.
"There are so many people." Wang Shang sighed.
Once upon a time, I had such influence that so many people came to a small press conference, and they were not invited by me.
The entertainment industry is changing rapidly. I feel full of accomplishment.
"In the previous time and space, I was just a small director, struggling with money, fame and fortune, and human nature. In this time and space, I can control these by myself, and I will no longer be confused and lost."
Facing the sun and looking down at the busy figures below, Wang Shang unconsciously felt a surge of pride in his chest.
"Thank you for this time and space..."
"But it's not too early to be happy. I still have a lot to do." Wang Shang reminded himself not to be arrogant and complacent.
I looked at the watch, it was 8:30, the press conference started at 9:30, there was still an hour to go.
At this time, in the reception hall No. 1 on the first floor of the Tianwang Building, nearly 200 media reporters and photographers had arrived, and the first half of the entire venue was already full of people.
Many reporters and photographers put some things on their seats as 'space holders', and at the same time focused their attention on the two huge Transformers models.
The flash keeps flashing when taking photos.
Someone soon discovered something was wrong: "It seems that this model has changed a bit. It doesn't look like the previous model."
"Hey, I wouldn't know it if you didn't tell me. Now that I take a closer look, I see that it has really changed a bit. It feels a little more powerful, and it looks a little more pleasing to the eye."
Just as reporters were vying for photos and talking a lot, the press conference officially began.
When Wang Shang appeared, a bunch of reporters seemed to be on the verge of being shot, and the cameras kept flashing, but fortunately they knew to keep order and did not cause chaos at the scene.
"This press conference is mainly to announce some specific production matters of "Transformers"." Wang Shang spoke into the microphone while the reporters were watching, ""Transformers" has been around since 2002.
When I came up with this idea, the comic was created for the purpose of filming a movie. However, the technical conditions in recent years are not enough to support the entire movie. So I temporarily stopped the movie plan. Now, the technical conditions are enough to support this movie.
It’s a movie. So, I decided to make it.”
The reporter can be said to be quite experienced, and asked in cooperation with Wang Shang: "I wonder what technology Mr. Wang is talking about?"
Wang Shang replied: "First of all, it's the CG technology of computers. I think all the reporters here should know about it." Wang Shang clapped his hands, and a technician who had already been arranged came to the stage.
"Now I'm going to show you the CG technology we currently have."
The technicians originally planned to display a three-dimensional virtual model composed of countless white lines without any color on the large screen. The technicians then performed operations such as circling, walking, and running on the model.
Wang Shang introduced from the side: "This is our model of Optimus Prime. Its body is composed of more than 10,000 parts."
The reporters watched and listened intently and wrote down something in their notebooks from time to time. When they heard that it was composed of more than 10,000 parts, they couldn't help but be surprised.
But this was just an appetizer. Under Wang Shang's instructions, technicians began to color Optimus Prime, which was composed of white lines. In the eyes of reporters, Optimus Prime gradually began to appear in other colors, blue, red,
Silver, black, the model began to gradually become fuller, no longer just a bunch of lines.
"In terms of special effects, we call it rendering. Don't underestimate the technical content. For this static standing Optimus Prime model alone, our company used 10,000 CPU chips to calculate and render it for nearly a week to complete. And its running
Moving and walking require additional rendering, which will consume more resources."
"Wow……"
"So perverted??"
"Ten thousand chips perform calculations for a week? It's too scary, it's just a small picture..."
Although these reporters have a certain professional foundation, they can be said to be ignorant of more internalized technologies, so Wang Shang's words shocked the reporters.
Many reporters stood up and asked: "Is this true?"
Some reporters in the United States look proud. They have known about film rendering technology for a long time. It is used in many Hollywood blockbusters. They have long been familiar with it: "Chinese reporters are really rubbish."
For them, this technology cannot be regarded as big news. They can only make news with the headline "China Film Technology only realized the application of small-scale film rendering technology in 2008."
Soon an American reporter started to turn to another question and asked in fluent Chinese: "Apart from CG technology, are there any other technologies?"
His tone was a bit proud, and his eyes looked down at the others.
Journalists from China and other regions were sensitive to this reporter's pride, and the atmosphere couldn't help but feel depressed, and a sense of dissatisfaction inevitably arose in their hearts.
Wang Shang also felt the mentality of this proud American reporter, smiled, and then said to all the reporters: "CG technology is only the basis of this movie. In addition, this movie will be similar to "Harry Potter".
Just like "The Lord of the Rings", it uses the latest developed 3D film technology."
“3D technology??”
All the reporters looked at each other. Of course they understand 3D technology. Ever since "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" announced that they would use 3D movie technology, these reporters have begun to make up the principles of 3D technology. But... when?
Are Chinese films also involved?
"really??"
"Absolutely impossible, you are lying!!" The American reporter who had been arrogant just stood up excitedly and said in disbelief: "Which company in the United States provides the 3D technology?? At present, it seems that except "
Apart from the two special effects companies contracted by "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" that have such technical conditions, no other company has announced that it has 3D technology, right?"
He didn't think about China, because China's film technology has always lagged far behind that of the United States.
All reporters focused their attention on Wang Shang at this moment.
Wang Shang remained calm and said with a smile: "The 3D technology currently used by Tianwang Film and Television Company is independently developed and funded by Tianwang Film and Television Company. It can be regarded as a new generation of technology. It has applied for more than 60 international patents.
In terms of technology, because I have never seen foreign 3D technology, I don’t know what its advantages and disadvantages are compared to foreign 3D technology.”
"Wow~~~~" Wang Shang's answer immediately caused an uproar in the hall.
“It’s actually true??”
“It’s not foreign 3D technology? It’s independent research and development??”
All the reporters couldn't believe it. They pinched their arms and felt severe pain: "This is true! I heard you right..."
"It shouldn't be a lie, right?"
Just when all the reporters were talking in disbelief, Wang Shang continued: "The following is a 3D short film. It only lasts one minute. You can see its effect."
The reporters quickly got a pair of 3D glasses and looked at them over and over with curiosity.
The lights in the reception hall were turned off, and a huge screen appeared on the stage, comparable to the screen in a movie theater.
The 3D short film officially started, and the reporter soon discovered that there were two lights being projected, instead of the original one.
In a forest, several people are exploring inside, and scenes of three-dimensional scenes are unfolding, creating a unique visual effect.
Reporters held their breath.
Soon the expedition team was attacked by giant spiders, pythons, and indigenous people. Reporters exclaimed from time to time because they wore 3D glasses and saw spiders spinning silk, pythons flying, and indigenous people flying guns... a lot of scenes.
It seemed like it was coming directly to my own eyes.
After watching the 3D short film, all the reporters couldn't help but press their left chests with their hands.
"This scene is so exciting."
I have seen 3D movies before, but they were very rough. There is no limit to this kind of delicate picture quality, and the visual experience is superb.
"Play it again!!" Many reporters suggested as they felt they were still unsatisfied.
The proposal quickly received responses from many reporters.
All the reporters looked at it with gusto. Although some asked to watch it a third time, Wang Shang did not agree this time.
And those American reporters who were a little arrogant at first couldn't help but feel a little lost. They had seen the 3D picture effects of "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings", but this time the 3D picture effects of China were no worse than those of the United States.
.
The last bit of luck in my heart was gone. I didn't expect that China's film technology level would reach this level.
Journalists from other countries couldn't help but feel disappointed. After the United States, China's technology began to advance by leaps and bounds, but what about their own country? There was still no progress.
The domestic reporters felt honored and privileged at this time, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously. They looked at the American reporters who were still arrogant just now with a joking look in their eyes: "Wasn't it awesome just now? Look.
Look how awesome you are now."
While all the reporters were still digesting the impact of Tianwang Film and Television Company's 3D technology on them, Wang Shang began to announce the third news - the production budget of "Transformers" will reach 1 billion yuan.
When the domestic reporters heard the news, they almost went crazy.
"1000000000??"
They looked at Wang Shang like a madman.
