Chapter 881 Special effects and martial arts (4000+ chapters~)
"We'll talk about whether it's enough or not later. For now, just continue according to this budget!" Wu Jianye didn't care too much about budgets.
As he said, if it is not enough, it is very simple, just continue to invest more when the time comes.
This is what makes Wu Jianye different from ordinary directors. Any director will have a headache for the budget of a movie. This is why there will be so many directors in later generations who mortgage their properties to support their movies.
It must be admitted that every director who does this has great courage. It is almost an unspoken rule in the industry that directors do not invest in their own movies.
But obviously, every rule is meant to be broken.
As for Wu Jianye, he naturally has no such worries. For him, there is no movie in the world that he cannot afford to invest in. At this moment, there is no problem for him to make a real Truman Show in the real world.
.
Just like what Wu Jianye said to others before, his movies only need to be responsible for himself and the audience!
Zhao Fei nodded and said: "Since you have already made a decision in your mind, that's fine. Then I will organize people to inspect the shooting location now and bring you back photos and videos in three months!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Then I'll trouble you!"
Zhao Fei chuckled and said, "It's a shame to say this!"
Zhao Fei now has his own dedicated photography team, many of whom are students who graduated from the photography department of the Film Academy in the past few years. Just like Wu Jianye supported Wang Xiaochuan in his last movie "The World of Chu Xing", Zhao Fei also uses
He supports his disciples in his own way. I believe that more than ten years later, in the Chinese film industry, there will also be a group of photographers from Zhao Fei's team.
After Zhao Fei left, Wu Jianye got up and came to the special effects area!
At this time, Liang Zhengting, Huang Zilu and others had also returned to work. After seeing Wu Jianye, they all stood up. At this time, their eyes on Wu Jianye were still a bit complicated.
When they came back, Qin Feng had been fired from the digital field, and the woman who Qin Feng stayed for love chose to leave him after seeing that Qin Feng had no job after he was fired from the digital field.
Qin Feng approached Wu Jianye at that time and hoped to follow Wu Jianye back to China to continue his development, but Wu Jianye directly rejected him.
When they got on the plane, they were still chatting privately. Although Qin Feng later found a job at a special effects company, the salary and benefits were incomparable to those in the digital field.
Losing his wife and losing his troops, this is Qin Feng's current fate.
"Welcome home, everyone!" Wu Jianye looked at everyone and said with a smile, "How are you, are you used to working here?"
Liang Zhengting quickly replied: "I'm used to it. I didn't expect that our environment here is no different from that in the digital field!"
Others also nodded.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Okay, don't say anything about flattering me. It's not like I've never been to the digital field, so how could I not know the gap between the two sides? But you don't have to worry, the company's office building will be opened soon."
Once the decoration is completed, everyone will move there to work, and I guarantee you that the working environment there will definitely exceed your environment in the digital field!"
Because of Xia Xiaohong's reminder, Wu Jianye also discovered that the company's space was not enough, so he rebuilt an office building next to Tangting Culture. It has now been completed and is being renovated, and you can move in this summer!
By then, it will become the new office building of Tangting Culture. At the same time, this three-story building will still be retained. Wu Jianye doesn't want to move around so much, and he also has certain feelings for this place.
This has also led to a legend that has been circulating in Tangting culture in the future, that is, only those who have been to the third floor are the real senior leaders of the company.
Upon hearing this, Liang Zhengting and others showed a happy smile on their faces and said: "Director Wu, this place is actually quite good, much better than other companies in the country!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Flattery again, I remember you came to Tangting Culture after graduation. You have been to other companies!"
Although they were scolding, the worries that Liang Zhengting and others had before disappeared. They felt that Wu Jianye like this was the boss they wanted.
People who do special effects are basically nerds or people with jumpy personalities. They are two extremes, with relatively few people in the middle. At least we don’t see people like that in this team now.
So their thoughts are actually very simple.
It felt like Wu Jianye was closer to them when he spoke like this.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense anymore. Now I will give you the mission of coming back this time!" Wu Jianye said pretending to be serious.
"Director Wu, just tell me if you have any orders, we are all ready!" someone said with a smile.
Wu Jianye said: "Has everyone read "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?"
Everyone looked at each other, some said they had seen it, some said they had not!
Wu Jianye waved his hands and suppressed his voice and said: "Your first task this time is to give me some of the mythical beasts and monsters in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" through CGI technology and model building technology for you to learn in the digital field.
Make all kinds of knowledge for me!"
Then Wu Jianye took out a piece of paper with the name of the mythical beast they needed to make written on it.
After handing it over to Liang Zhengting, he continued: "I can tell you clearly that the mythical beasts you make will most likely not be used in the end, but you must do it seriously for me. I need you to do more than
The special effects in "Jurassic Park" are even better, you know?
After six months, I want to see the results. If you can't complete it, I can only find someone in the digital field..."
Wu Jianye didn't say what to do when people from the digital field came, but these people were proud in their hearts. So after Wu Jianye said this, even though he knew that this matter was very difficult,
Still showed great enthusiasm.
This kind of thing is both an experience and an opportunity for them to prove themselves.
"Director Wu, don't worry, we guarantee to complete the task!" Liang Zhengting, as the person in charge of Tangting's special effects, said seriously.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "In the past six months, you need money and people. If you don't have enough people, you can go to the film school to recruit people. Even if you want special effects talents from Hollywood, I will do it."
I will find it for you, but again, I will see results in six months!"
The task Wu Jianye gave them this time was not only a test for them, but also an important verification of Wu Jianye's own plan, because these people represent the future of Chinese film special effects.
Wu Jianye no longer needs to elaborate too much on the role that film special effects will play in future film shooting. Liang Zhengting, Huang Zilu and others are the pioneers of Chinese film special effects.
After coming out of the special effects area, Wu Jianye called Tan Yang again.
Tan Yang was first followed by Wu Jianye when he was filming "New Dragon Inn". At that time, Tan Yang had just retired from the martial arts team and was recruited by Wu Jianye to Tangting Culture. Later, the group of them was
He was sent to Xiangjiang to learn martial arts coaching techniques from Hong Jinbao, Yuan Baye, Cheng Xiaodong and others.
Later, Tan Yang became the martial arts director of "The Last Days" and "Jurassic Park".
Now he is a man of his own.
After Wu Jianye finished filming "Jurassic Park", he returned to China and participated in the filming of several domestic martial arts films as a martial arts director.
But this time their task is not easy either.
"This movie is different from previous movies. It will require a lot of your professional abilities." Wu Jianye and Tan Yang said.
Tan Yang's temperament was a little dull, he nodded and said: "Understood!"
Wu Jianye knew Tan Yang's temperament and continued: "This time you have to design at least three styles of martial arts routines!"
Tan Yang looked at Wu Jianye seriously, waiting for his request.
"The first type, the kind of movement I requested is an ethereal martial arts style similar to ancient dance. The second type is a punch-to-flesh, sharp style. The third type is weird, but this
This kind of weirdness must contain cunning..."
Wu Jianye told Tan Yang all his requests, and Tan Yang's expression became more solemn the more he listened.
After Wu Jianye finished speaking, Tan Yang thought for a moment and said seriously: "Director Wu, our team cannot complete these actions alone!"
Wu Jianye didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Who do you need to help?"
Tan Yang didn't think about it and said: "Yuan Baye from Xiangjiang, only he can design some moves. I don't have enough experience. Even if I design them, I won't be able to meet your requirements!"
Wu Jianye nodded, not dissatisfied because of what Tan Yang said. In fact, action guidance is a job that tests experience. This is why the older Yuan Baye and others are, the more beautiful the actions they design.
.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Jianye dialed Yuan Baye's phone number directly.
"Side seat?" Yuan Baye quickly answered the phone.
"Director Yuan, I am Wu Jianye!" Wu Jianye revealed his identity.
When Yuan Baye heard the call from Wu Jianye, he immediately laughed loudly and said, "It turns out to be Director Wu. Do you have any instructions?"
Yuan Baye's status in Xiangjiang is very high, but he is still very polite when facing Wu Jianye.
"Director Yuan is like this. I have already started preparations for my new movie, but in terms of martial arts, I still need you to come over and control the scene!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Yuan Baye thought for a moment and said: "Director Wu, I am definitely fine with it, but my schedule has been booked by Fengge Pictures. You may need to tell Fengge Pictures!"
Yuan Baye is not a contracted director of Fengge Pictures, but he has a relatively in-depth cooperation with Fengge Pictures.
For example, the schedule mentioned by Yuan Baye was actually booked by Wang Jing. Now Wang Jing is ready to copy "Once Upon a Time" and has invited Li Lianjie, Zhang Min, Chen Baixiang and others to prepare for the filming of "Once Upon a Time in the Iron".
Chicken fighting centipede.
Chen Baixiang was regarded as Wang Jing's golden partner during this period. Some friends who were in the 70s and early 80s know that the early movies Wang Jing shot for Shaw Brothers usually starred Chen Baixiang.
As for why Chen Baixiang stopped starring in the later period, it was not because he was not popular enough, but because of Shaw Brothers' filmmaking system. At that time, Shaw Brothers' filmmaking system had starring and supporting roles in the movies, but there was no difference in pay.
.
The lead actor naturally takes longer to participate in a movie than the supporting role. Chen Baixiang, who claims to be the smartest in Hong Kong, after doing some calculations, came to the conclusion that being a leading actor is not cost-effective. On the contrary, it is better to play a supporting role, which can make him rich and earn more.
I have more time to shoot more movies and earn more money.
So later Chen Baixiang slowly started to play supporting roles...
"No problem, I'll tell Fengge Pictures about this!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Wang Jing's "Once Upon a Time: The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede" itself is a hype movie. Even if Yuan Baye is gone, other martial arts instructors can be found, but Wu Jianye's movie is different. Wu Jianye devoted all his energy to it.
After a lot of hard work, he can't tolerate any flaws.
"Haha, if Wu Dao shows up, then there won't be any problems on my side. When do you need me to fly to Yanjing?" Yuan Baye asked.
Wu Jianye glanced at Tan Yang and said, "The sooner the better!"
Yuan Baye said: "Well, I will book a ticket to Yanjing now!"
After hanging up the phone, Wu Jianye did not call Jiang Zhiqiang directly, but called Wang Jing first, although this kind of thing did not require Wu Jianye to call himself.
When Wang Jing heard that Wu Jianye wanted to hire Yuan Baye, he didn't think much about it and readily agreed. Just as Wu Jianye thought, with Yuan Baye gone, Wang Jing could definitely find another martial arts instructor.
His requirements in this regard are not high.
Then Wu Jianye called Jiang Zhiqiang and told Jiang Zhiqiang the situation.
"Okay, Master Yuan Ba will be arriving in Yanjing soon. Then he will study hard with Master Yuan!" Wu Jianye said seriously to Tan Yang after hanging up the phone.
Hearing that Mr. Yuan Ba was coming to Yanjing, Tan Yang showed a happy smile and started to talk more: "That's great. After learning from Mr. Yuan last time, I know what it means to be outside."
There are people out there, and if I can continue to study with Yuan Baye this time, I will definitely study hard!"
Wu Jianye nodded and continued: "Next, the company will formally establish Wuzhi Company, and you will be responsible for it. I have seen the company's talent pool before, but it is still not enough. You can discuss it with the teachers at your school.
For a moment, if those students who are about to retire soon want to come, they can be recruited. At the same time, let’s see if there are any talents you need in society, you can recruit them!”
Wu Jianye is also delegating power to Tan Yang.
"Well, thank you, Director Wu, I will go to the school tomorrow to check it out!" Tan Yang said with a smile.
