404. Chapter 404 The 404th game CG is difficult
Not only him, many people in the crew were crying, and Lan Xin also held Li Xiaole's hand, crying loudly like a child, holding him and never letting go...
As the moving soundtrack sounded by the glowing curtain, the images on the curtain were stringed together to shoot what happened on the scene. Maybe others seemed to be just trivial matters, but everyone on the scene looked so huge... Until the end of the film, no one made a sound... Only the cries twitched and sighed.
Three months, countless difficulties, pain, and torture, but at this moment it makes people so reluctant...
After the video ended for a while, Elder Peng Mingzheng slowly stood up, took out more than 1,000 commemorative coins from a cloth bag, and sent them to everyone one by one.
"I have nothing to give to everyone, I can only give this coin to everyone as a souvenir... Thank you." Peng Mingzheng let his hands loose to everyone, repeating this sentence tirelessly.
According to tradition, many parents with young children on the scene came to Peng Mingzheng for a small baptism, hoping that the ancestors could bless the children with good health. But this time more young parents found Jiang Wen, hoping that he could give them blessings on behalf of Seidk's leader Mona Ludao.
"I'm not Mona Ludao, I'm an actor." Jiang Wen had already taken off his wig at this time, completely different from the scene, and he said very embarrassedly.
"It's okay, we can feel the soul of Chief Mona from you. Please bless our children~" The young parents said unyieldingly.
Jiang Wen had no choice but to imitate Peng Mingzheng's actions and performed a simple ceremony. The couple was moved by blood, as if the person standing in front of them was the leader of Mona Ludao... and the rest of the crew were ridiculous...
But a couple came with their children, and everyone was extremely pious. Everyone's feelings changed. They seemed to feel the sincerity of these Seedk people. Jiang Wen was also touched in the end. He turned around and looked for something, but immediately saw Li Xiaole reaching out to hand over the wig of "Mona Ludao"...
"Director Li, do you think this is a little pretentious?" Jiang Wen said embarrassedly wearing a wig.
"No... Sometimes external things are fake, but inner feelings are real." Li Xiaole helped him straighten his wig and said, "These things are worth a lifetime to them..."
Jiang Wen put on his wig, turned to look at Li Xiaole, and nodded softly: "Director Li, I want to thank you... I have been an actor for so long, and this is the first time I can feel that making a movie is more meaningful than I thought..."
Li Xiaole couldn't help but nodded as she heard this, looking at the simple indigenous people, and her heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction she had never felt before... Making a good movie, this process is a kind of growth, for Seidke, Jiang Wen, and for himself...
In June, the whole of Taiwan had already entered summer. The wet outdoor air made people feel extremely stuffy and uncomfortable. Young people are accustomed to indoor activities with air conditioning. At this time of year, Taipei's cinemas are one of their favorite places.
Like movie fans around the world, young people in Taipei know that the beginning of summer means that all kinds of exciting movies begin to appear on the big screen.
"Star Wars Prequel 3: The Sith's Counterattack" which was launched on the screen last month swept across the entire Taiwanese theater in advance. Legendary director George Lucas once again became the king of the film industry with the "Star Wars" series that spanned nearly 30 years. Evan McGregor, Natalie Portman, and Hayden Christensen, the shining names appeared on the list of "Star Wars" actors, causing more young fans to join the film culture crazily, and the box office has accumulated NT$700,000.
In June, Christopher Nolan, a recognized genius director in the film industry, came to Taiwan with a dark style "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow". When everyone thought that Christopher Nolan could end George Lucas' box office dominance, no one expected that the first movie "Initial D" starring the Asian little king Jay Chou came out of nowhere and actually won these two Hollywood blockbusters in the first three days.
The popularity of racing, the original animation, and the combination of popular singers seem to have caused a craze in a short period of time. Although "Initial D" won 'million yuan in 3 days and obviously began to fall rapidly, it is still a hot topic in the summer season. Taiwanese filmmakers discovered for the first time that popular idols are important to the box office of the movie ^...
Jay Chou’s agency revealed that within one week of the movie’s release, the little king was invited by several mainland film companies, including a new picture of Zhang Yimou… It seems that the focus of the summer season has gradually shifted…
Just when the outside world was attracted by these three movies, Li Xiaole was busy with the final work of "Sedek Barre".
At this moment, the Black Sail Studio under Black Pearl is in full swing. More than a dozen Korean CG teachers, who are also 8 Chinese, are processing thousands of special effects in front of multiple computers.
The later CG of "Saidek Bale" was handed over to three Korean CG companies, which was carefully selected by Li Xiaole. All three companies participated in the production of "Tai Chi Flag Flying" and also accepted some CGs from "Hanjiang Monster", which were very technically excellent.
Especially the bald designer Kim Tae-young in the team, he is a big-name. He used to be a designer at Vita Digital and participated in the "Lord of the Rings" series. He is the leading figure in the Korean CG special effects industry. The other Korean CG teachers present are basically his apprentices.
Overall, although the CG team participating in "Sedek Barre" this time is not as good as the top teams in Europe and the United States, it is enough for this movie.
Li Xiaole asked the Black Sail Special Effects Studio led by Lei Ting to assist the Korean side in the entire process and learn from it.
Ladies will think that the special effects CG are only used in science fiction films, disaster films, etc., such as "Jurassic Park" and "Independence Day". In fact, in war films, the special effects of CG are a crucial part.
The real scenery is always difficult to perfect when it is put on the screen. If you want the picture to be beautiful, everything has to be repaired. This time, "Seedek Barre" requires more than 1,800 cg shots... First of all, Black Sail is responsible for the simplest work, synthesis:
The static natural vision in the movie, towering rock walls, trees and forests, and cherry blossoms in full bloom are all composed of different pictures, and each detail needs to be processed through more than twenty technical processes.
The difficulty of synthesis is also the effects of light and shadow and particle, dynamically enhancing the flow of streams, increasing the sparks of blasting and guns, the number of people in certain scenes, the distribution range of rain and fog, etc.
Li Xiaole observed from the side that although it was all composed of domestic teams, Heifan Studio, led by Wu Wei, a designer who once worked in Industrial Light and Magic, completed this work quite well, and is not technically inferior to the Korean team.
The real gap is not in this place...but=animation...
In the movie, the animations include running boars, crowds in the distance, Japanese bombing planes, Japanese destroyers in the Shimonoseki Treaty signing ceremony, the scattering of leaves on fire, and the most time-consuming whole = forest, etc.
Li Xiaole found that the domestic CG has no problem with technical operation... but in terms of aesthetic literacy, such as establishing wild boars = animation, they can easily model according to size and attach hair, but once the wild boar moves, the problem will be big...
Chinese CG teachers do not understand the principle of mammals at all, and they look very unreal, and in terms of light and shadow rendering, they are completely unable to achieve the light and shadow effect of fusion with the environment.
What's more serious is that the presentation of CG in the movie not only requires reality, but also requires the pursuit of beauty. There is a scene where the Japanese army's diverging incendiary bomb exploded in the woods. The explosion was not complicated, but the true color of the explosion flame reached the leaves, and the fired leaves flew away. This scattering was a level of beauty, and it was necessary to create an atmosphere of fire rain that seemed to fall in the forest.
This alone made several Chinese CG teachers with Black Sail completely stunned. They had only received technical training and had no idea what the beauty of the picture is...
Whenever this happens, Li Xiaole can only stop and describe it little by little, instilling the aesthetic concept of the movie into Heifan's CG teacher, and Lei Ting is also a translator next to him, telling them some of the experiences of Korean CG teachers talking to them, and learning while watching.
"I really don't know what Director Lee is doing, why he told them this, it's a waste of time... Our team can do it directly! A group of dogs..." Kim Tae-young, the leader of the Korean special effects team, couldn't help but complain privately. He looked down on these despicable Chinese people who secretly learned their skills, but if there is any way, he must complete the contract.
Li Xiaole is certainly clear about the complaints of the Korean team, but he is still unmoved. He continues to follow his pace. Why are these CG personnel in China always able to be at the downstream of technology? In the final analysis, they lack knowledge. The domestic education model makes them very narrow-minded in design thinking, and domestic directors do not understand technology at all. This is very unfavorable to the growth of CG teachers' overall quality and the movie itself.
Not only him, many people in the crew were crying, and Lan Xin also held Li Xiaole's hand, crying loudly like a child, holding him and never letting go...
