Chapter 455 The Special Effects Team of the Flagship Works in the Chinese Film Industry
Chapter 455 The flagship work of the Chinese film industry, the special effects team descended from the sky
The movie script Wang Xuan prepared for Chen Kai is "Farewell My Concubine".
There really is no need to say much about this movie. Whether it is artistic or ornamental, "Farewell My Concubine" is unique. While retaining the director's creative concept, it also takes into account the audience's aesthetic taste well. It is an almost perfect movie.
classic movie.
As a flagship work in the Chinese film industry and a film that enjoys world-class honors, "Farewell My Concubine" has both epic structure and cultural connotation. Against the background of the profound Peking Opera art, it powerfully demonstrates the role dislocation and misalignment of people.
Multifacetedness and richness in the face of disaster.
By describing the art of Peking Opera, which has the deepest cultural heritage in China, and the lives of Peking Opera artists, the film passionately narrates a story that lasts for half a century, and delicately demonstrates the thinking and understanding of traditional culture, people's living conditions and human nature.
The joys and sorrows of the little people are shown in a spiraling way mixed with the development of Chinese history over the past half century. The power of humanity contained in it and the actors' wonderful performances have conquered many movie audiences around the world.
The film was not only artistically recognized by the international film community, but also a success in distribution. The film sold well in Western countries such as the United States and even Eastern Europe and Africa.
If this movie is made, it will be a god in the director world. If the other party is not Chen Kai, if Chen Kai didn't help Wang Xuan when Wang Xuan was at his lowest, or if Wang Xuan can hold the title
There are not many movies by God, so Wang Xuan was really reluctant to leave this movie to Chen Kai.
Let Chen Kai use this movie to make a comeback.
What's interesting is that in another time and space, Chen Kaige first filmed "Farewell My Concubine" to become a god. Later, he had a funny head and changed the character of Qin Shihuang to film "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", but encountered Waterloo. And in this time and space, Chen Kaige
In the same way, the filming of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" encountered a slippery slope, but it was possible to turn around during the filming of "Farewell My Concubine", which is like a reincarnation.
Under Wang Xuan's stimulation, Chen Kai's morale temporarily returned. Whether he can return to the confident Chen Kai before will depend on Chen Kai's next movie.
After appeasing Chen Kai, on the morning of the 24th, Wang Xuan and Chen Xueqi, together with several singers from Tianhai, boarded a plane to Lucheng, known as "Oriental Hawaii".
This year's annual music festival will be held in Lucheng.
In the evening, Wang Xuan and others checked into the Lucheng Seaside Hotel and booked all luxury suites. Today was definitely not Chen Xueqi's dangerous period. Unfortunately, Chen Xueqi was thin and embarrassed to share a room with Wang Xuan in front of so many people.
Wang Xuan lost this opportunity to go further.
On the other side, when Wang Xuan and others were heading to Lucheng, several young people suddenly came to the front desk of Tianhai, claiming that they had cooperation and wanted to discuss it with the person in charge of Tianhai in detail. However, they did not make any reservations. After some inquiries, the front desk acted as usual.
Send them the same and let them contact the senior leaders of Tianhai.
These young people are not too young to say they are young. They are all in their late twenties. They are the founders of magic light effects in Hollywood. They were famous for Wang Xuan's "Descendants of the Dragon" years ago.
I have thought about returning to my country for development, and I just came back from Eagle Country.
After returning to China, they originally wanted to set up a special effects company, but after some investigation, they found that it was difficult to set up a special effects company on their own. The location of the company was a problem.
Hua Country is different from Eagle Country. Eagle Country has a Hollywood movie and television city. Many famous film companies are gathered here, and film and television-related supporting companies can also be directly nearby. However, Hua Country does not have a decent movie and television city.
Entertainment companies are relatively scattered, making it difficult to choose locations.
If you choose the center of a big city, you won’t have enough money. If you choose a remote area or a small city, if you don’t have a good reputation, you won’t be able to receive orders.
Dilemma!
Later, a few people simply split up and visited large domestic entertainment companies one by one. They wanted to discuss cooperation first and see if the large entertainment companies had any films or TV series that required special effects production. They would first take over the business and make some money to become famous.
As a result, everyone was rejected. Once people heard that they were here to promote special effects, they lost all interest.
Several people also know the reason. Those big entertainment companies usually have special effects departments. Even those small and medium-sized entertainment companies also have fixed special effects companies for long-term cooperation. Although they are confident that their special effects technology is enough to beat any domestic special effects company and special effects team.
, but people won’t even give you a chance, so what’s the use of your special effects skills no matter how awesome they are?
This was a blow to a few people, and their morale was almost gone. They were full of confidence before returning to China, but now they find that it is even more difficult to get along in China than in Hollywood.
Later, several people thought of Wang Xuan, who sang "Descendants of the Dragon". After some searching, they found that Wang Xuan was not only a top domestic superstar, but also owned a Tianhai Entertainment company.
So a few people decided to come to Tianhai to try their luck.
But now, they were rejected again. The front desk asked them to contact Tianhai's senior management, but how could they have the contact information of Tianhai's senior management?
Just when they were about to give up, perhaps seeing that they were a little downcast and couldn't bear it, Tianhai's front desk whispered again: "I would like to ask, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with our Tianhai?"
"Cooperation in the production of special effects for film and television dramas."
"Special effects? How are your special effects skills?" Tianhai's front desk asked with her eyes lit up. She knew that Tianhai didn't have a decent special effects team yet. If the special effects skills of these people in front of her were passable, it wouldn't be impossible to help report them.
.
"We all graduated from the Apple City Film Academy, majoring in film and television special effects. We previously opened a special effects company in American Hollywood, and have also taken on the special effects production of several American Hollywood movies. We can't say that our technology is unique to American Hollywood.
, but it is definitely not a problem to defeat most domestic special effects production companies." said the leader.
Tianhai's front desk eyes lit up even more when he heard this. Apple City Film Academy is one of the top five art exporters in the world, and American Hollywood's special effects are world-famous. It cannot be ruled out that these people in front of them are bragging, but they can gain a foothold in American Hollywood.
, the special effects skills of these people should not be much different.
"In this case, you guys sit on the sofa in the living room, and I will make an exception and inform you."
"OK."
The lady at the front desk reported. Soon, Li Tao came to the front desk in person. Seeing that the people in front of him were so young and looked like they were tired from work, Li Tao was a little skeptical about their special effects technology.
"Hello, I am Li Tao, the head of Tianhai Artists Department. What do you call me?" Li Tao asked.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Tang Yue, this person next to me is Zhou Hong, he is He Weiwei, and this is Su Liyun." Tang Yue introduced on behalf of several people.
"I heard from our front desk lady that you specialize in special effects for film and television. You stayed in Hollywood for a while before. May I ask why you are no longer in Hollywood now?"
"We went to study abroad in Eagle Country when we were in high school. Later, because of our interest, we were admitted to the Apple City Film Academy. We both enrolled in the film and television special effects major. We were destined to be in the same class. After graduation, we had similar aspirations. However, the domestic film and television market was lagging behind at that time.
, we set up a special effects company together near Hollywood. But in recent years, hasn’t our domestic film market developed? So a few of us returned to China to contribute to our Chinese films." Tang Yue said, this
The words are half true.
It was true that they studied abroad and jointly established a special effects company, but the reason for returning to China was half-true and half-false, not as high-minded as Tang Yue said.
Why contribute to Chinese movies? It's just because a few people couldn't get orders in American Hollywood and saw the rapid development in the country, they thought of returning to China for development.
Li Tao nodded when he heard this, but he didn't fully believe Tang Yue's words. After all, it was the first time they met, why should they care about you? In fact, Li Tao was not interested at all in why a few people returned home. He was only interested in a few people's special effects.
Interested in technology.
So he asked: "I heard from our front desk lady that your special effects technology is pretty good. Can you show it to me?"
"certainly."
Several people moved to Tianhai's special effects department.
Yes, Tianhai actually has a special effects department, but it just doesn’t have many talents. The previous special effects team was packed away by Enlight Media.
The reason why Wang Xuan hasn't filmed TV series such as "Dragon" and "Sword" is because these TV series require special effects, and Tianhai currently does not have a special effects team that is good at it, so it can only delay it again and again.
After arriving at the special effects department, Tang Yue and the others inserted the USB flash drive they carried with them into Tianhai's computer, then copied the special effects software installation package on the USB flash drive to the computer desktop and installed it.
"Is this Houdini?" Li Tao asked.
"Yes." Tang Yue replied without raising his head.
After hearing this, Li Tao gained some confidence in the special effects skills of several people.
Houdini is a special effects software, known as Movie Special Effects Magician in China. It is the flagship product of Side Effects Software and is an effective tool for creating advanced visual effects.
Nowadays, the special effects of every American Hollywood blockbuster seen in China are produced by Houdini. It is one of the most widely used film special effects software, and it is also a difficult software to learn. Houdini Master is also for those who want to make computer animation more exciting.
The animators offer unprecedented capabilities and productivity.
Since Tang Yue and others use Houdini, their special effects skills must not be much different.
There is a long way to go before I can reach 1,000 monthly tickets. I was so shocked that I only received 100 monthly tickets when I opened the bill. However, I am still grateful to many book friends for their support. If I cannot reach 1,000 this month, I will continue to work hard next month.
