Chapter 602 Special effects, come and burn money!

A few months later.

A small special effects studio finally waited for the big order from Lin Fan.

The order is very simple.

Just make the ten-second shot of Shen Gongbao transforming into a leopard.

The requirements are: above the passing line, and the degree of excellence.

What is the level of sophistication is that every subtle expression, even every strand of hair, must be synthesized separately and vividly.

When the special effects manager saw such a request, he was immediately worried.

But when I saw Lin Fan giving half of the deposit readily, it was 150,000.

The person in charge felt comfortable immediately.

After completing these ten seconds of shots, the studio will finally get a total cost of 300,000 yuan.

No wonder the requirements are so high.

It is said that Lin Fan plans to spend 80 million yuan on the production cost to make special effects.

However, in the opinion of the person in charge, this was not surprising.

You know, good special effects are the most expensive place for a movie.

The production cost of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" released in 2007 was US$342 million, while the special effects cost US$200 million;

In 2016, Captain America 3 produced a production cost of about $250 million, while the special effects cost $150 million;

In 2017, the production cost of "Transformers 5" was $217 million, and the later special effects production cost $130 million.

It can be seen that good special effects are how expensive it is.

From the cost of special effects, you can see the level of attentiveness of a movie.

So the studio formed a five-person team, and several people started to make special effects shots of Shen Gongbao.

Two months later.

"Boss, have our special effects not passed yet?"

Several special effects masters asked helplessly to the person in charge.

The person in charge shook his head: "Let's wait a little longer, there is no result yet."

"Isn't it rejected again this time?"

"It's the sixth time."

At this time, the phone of the special effects manager rang.

When I saw the caller ID, I was so nervous that I was sweating profusely.

They work overtime.

Every day, I rack my brains for Shen Gongbao's special effects shots.

From the beginning, it was quite qualified.

If you slowly polish it to what you are now, no matter which movie you put it in, you will be illuminated by the eyes.

However, Xingdong Animation Company is still not very satisfied.

After listening to the phone, the person in charge subconsciously grabbed his hair.

He faced the project members with a bitter face and shook his head.

"ah!"

The subordinate let out a shrill cry: "For the seventh time, I'll go!"

"It's so difficult. Is the special effects I have worked hard for ten days to make have changed again?

Oh my God!"

"Their requirements are too high!"

“Excellent, isn’t that good enough?”

The person in charge said dryly: "They said that they still need to adjust the details slightly, but the hair of Shen Gongbao after his transformation was a bit unnatural!"

It's a hair problem again.

But the problem is that they are a small special effects company and have put in their energy. They all agree that they can make a move.

Unexpectedly, it still won't work.

"Oh my God, I'll stop doing it. If I continue to grind it, I'll go crazy!"

"So too, I apply for a change of teams, whoever wants to do it will do it."

The project leader was silent for a moment.

Dragging heavy steps, he walked towards his boss's office.

After coming out, he left the company with his personal belongings in his arms.

This is resignation.

Because I really don't want to continue to get it any longer.

I have never seen such a high demand in history.

And the boss insisted that he endures any more, how could he endure it?

The person in charge, who had been angry and had already become angry, burst into anger and quit.

I cursed Xingdong Animation Company several times at the same time.

Why not cooperate with large companies if you have such high requirements?

I have to torture their small company.

After changing a company.

Because of his previous work experience, this person in charge still works as the project leader in the new company.

As a result, I got the project content and took a look.

“Customer:Shaping Animation Company

Movie name: "The Devil's Comes to the World"

Requirements: Processing of Shen Gongbao's semi-finished product special effects

Requirements: above the passing line, excellent level.

Budget: 150,000”

The person in charge: "..." looked at the new boss numbly: "Does our company have other projects?"

Boss: "There are people in charge of other projects, and this is the only one. The special effects time of this project is very short, and only the semi-finished products need to be processed, and the budget is also very high!"

"I am optimistic about you and gave you such a big order!"

Person in charge: "…"

After going around, the project fell into my hands again.

In the end, I had to take the new members and gritted my teeth and continued to persevere.

In the Shadow Animation Company.

Lin Fan looked at the person in front of him with a headache. An animator wanted to resign.

He symbolically tried to keep it, and what he got was the other party's very firm answer:

"Absolutely, you can't stay any longer!"

"I tried my best, this scenario is too difficult to do!"

"No possibility of negotiation!"

"The salary increase is not enough!"

"Boss, I'm bald, no matter how much money I can't buy my hair!"

Lin Fan: “…”

Another animator who was driven crazy left without hesitation.

The reason why animators are going crazy.

It is because the project has encountered a bottleneck now.

The plot of Nezha being traveling to the fairyland by Taiyi Zhenren in "Mountains and Rivers Map".

Taiyi Zhenren is like Ma Liang, who is carrying Nezha while traveling, while using his magical brush to draw the next stepping stone.

Go up to the sky, down to the waterfall, and cross the cliffs.
