Fang Yi and Guo Fan once again went to Lao Ke's base company to inspect, and this time they wanted to get serious.
For China Film and Television's film and television base, only the large-scale hardware equipment in the early stage is reliable to him. Those things are dead and will not cause harm.
At first, Fang Yi thought that China Film Group was a big company and even a bad ship could be nailed. Unexpectedly, the post-production of "Let the Bullets Fly" was actually helped by the Huairou Film and Television Base. Jiang Wen made literary films, so he didn't think there was a big problem in that part.
Or maybe you think you can compromise, but Fang Yi can't stand it.
In his expectation, the special effects were equal to the dialogue and lens language. If the movie was a commercial film, this status would be even higher. If "Love Letter" didn't have the bicycle riding scene and the shocking tower collapse, the score would be
It should be at least 0.5 to 1 point lower.
For example, "Transformers 2", released last year, had a lot of plot bugs, and the language of the shots was not worth mentioning. The imdb score was 6.2, almost below the passing line. The review said "the scenes are grand but the content is empty, the logic is confusing, and the editing is stiff."
"
When this film was released in China, many theaters did not have 3D laser halls and only had 2D screens. However, the audience was still fascinated by it. After coming out, they didn’t know what they were watching, but it was very enjoyable.
This film won the highest number of awards in both China and the United States.
Obviously, "Let the Bullets Fly" could have performed better at the box office, but Jiang Wen is not very sensitive to special effects. The environment in which he grew up prevented him from being exposed to these, and he does not put big scenes in a high position.
There is a scene in "Let the Bullets Fly" where Mr. Huang and the bunker were blown up together. When Jiang Wen filmed this scene, he planned to add a huge roar and then a black plain picture. The combination of the two represented Mr. Huang.
It died and the tower collapsed.
It's equivalent to fooling around to save costs.
Although Mark, who was proficient in distribution and marketing, knew nothing about film shooting, he urged Jiang Wen at the time, "Just blow it up... Do you want several million? It doesn't matter. Just blow it up. This is not where you should save money."
"
On the contrary, in the scene at the Hongmen Banquet of the Three Best Actors, a certain old man paid 30 million to sponsor Jiang Wen, and the sign asking for money to be given to him was clearly displayed.
Jiang Wen didn't compromise at all and had a big fight with Mark.
Now, Base's Lao Ke has made timely news that even if someone buys shares of Base, he will continue to be a foreign expert as one of the founders, instead of cashing out and leaving.
Fang Yi wore a baseball cap and had no other disguise. He grabbed his two core apprentices, saw Fang Yi from a distance, and made a New Year greeting gesture, "Congratulations on getting rich, Fang."
Then he greeted Guo Fan, "And you, Guo Fang."
"Lao Ke, my name is Guo Fan. Second tone, Fan."
"Guo Fang."
"Fan, Fanfan's Fan."
"Guo Fang?"
"Okay, I have nothing left. You just need to recognize me as Guo."
Lao Ke introduced his two disciples, "This is the first group of disciples I brought. Some of them left and went to my hometown, and some jumped to other industries in your country... It is always difficult to persist.
"In 2007, the entire base team only had 20 people, and now it has expanded to 170 people!"
"China's special effects market will definitely take off just like your economy!" Lao Ke made a superman flying gesture and laughed, "We will also take off. The cost invested now will be earned back a hundred times in the future."
Fang Yi chuckled, "Lao Ke, you are a technician, so don't do cake painting. I have seen someone who is professionally responsible for painting cakes. He will resign next year and let him contact you in the future."
"Your investment manager?"
Fang Yi nodded.
After Lao Ke was found out, he didn't care about his shame, "What I said is true, please believe in my business reputation." There are densely packed cubicles on the first floor of the base, and the lights are turned on to the brightest, which makes the people inside appear to be very energetic.
.
Lao Ke whispered, "Don't disturb them."
Soon, several people arrived in the office, and Lao Ke's apprentice made tea for them. Fang Yi and Guo Fan looked at each other and said directly:
"I have seen the strength of Base. You can handle ordinary special effects. Now I have a problem. I plan to make myself twenty years from now. The expressions and movements must be delicate. Can Base do it?"
Lao Ke analyzed with him, "Hollywood has shot a lot of scenes like yours, it's not a big deal. Usually it's a very special dress...dressing, decoration..."
"Special makeup."
"Yes, Fang, that is special makeup. On this basis, we will repair the areas where you may have worn out frame by frame. You may not know... This thing is not technically difficult, but the cost is not low. Now
There is no one in North America who can do it because it is very time-consuming. We have done something similar before and the principle is consistent. But it is also very difficult because it requires responsibility and patience."
Fang Yi: "In principle."
"Yes, in principle, in principle. I have the source of the film at that time, you can take a look."
On the screen was a very ordinary video, where several Americans were having a conversation, one saying something to the other, and then they got into a fight for no apparent reason.
Lao Ke asked, "Is there anything you can help me with?"
Fang Yi, "Play it again."
"Okay, let me remind you, pay attention to the person in the upper left corner."
The video was played again.
Guo Fan couldn't help but said, "Is it because the screen is too small and there are gaps, but we can't see it?"
Fang Yi shook his head, "This frame is a TV series, not a movie. It's enough that we can't see it now - Lao Ke, don't play riddles."
Lao Ke then released the source material, and it is obvious now. There is a watermark left from home DV shooting in the upper left corner, covering the character's hair.
He said: "This is the first task that HBO has given us. We have to cut out the time mark in the upper left corner frame by frame, and fill in the people in the shot that were lost due to the erasure of the time mark.
Hair image. This is a bad job, a stinky job, and no one wants to take it except us."
Fang Yi: "So you have a long-term cooperation with HBO based on this, and that's why you have the big deal "Pacific War"?"
Lao Ke said sincerely, "HBO didn't give us the most core special effects. They gave us a higher level of dirty and tiring work. Due to the schedule of the series, HBO could only give us two months to produce it."
Samples, and the usual sample production cycle is several months or even half a year."
"However, I believe that we will be two or three levels higher in the future until we completely catch up. I don't want to deceive you. The key to base's survival is these dirty and tiring jobs that no one wants. We must
Working overtime, we have to make what others do in a month in a week, otherwise no one will ask us to come."
He took a few people to the second floor. Here, you can see the employees working silently below. It seems that the only sound is the sound of the server and the monotonous sound of machinery.
Fang Yi said, "After the movie starts filming, you first make a special effect and send it to me. If it's suitable, we sign a long-term contract and pay you according to the market price."
"Fang, is this just why you came here? I can no longer support so many people. I am very tired. I should not be a technical training teacher. I have been doing this for seven years."
"I will definitely invest more in you than HBO. The bigger the investment, the more cautious I will be."
Lao Ke heard that he was willing to pay for it, and silently waved his fist. He said excitedly, "We are also working on many projects at the same time. One of them is said to involve your Chinese actors. I think you can take a look."
"what is it call?"
"empiresofthedeep."
"Underwater empire?"
"Your place is called "Mermaid Empire"."
