We also need capable manpower to take charge here. Wang Zhengfei was handed over to Liu Yu, which shows that he is very at ease with him.
However, it turns out that it is not unreasonable for Wang Zhengfei to be so relieved about Liu Yu. Wang Zhengfei looked at the preliminary version that Liu Yu cut and was very satisfied. It basically matched what he meant, and he had roughly connected all the fragments in
Together, we also did some general technical processing, which saved Wang Zhengfei the pain of watching pornographic movies.
"Very good, very good!" Wang Zhengfei said with satisfaction. It is only a preliminary version now, and the total time is more than 150 minutes. When the film is officially released, about 30 minutes will be reduced, leaving only 100 minutes.
Twenty minutes, and the rest will only be the essence.
"Well done!" Wang Zhengfei has nothing to be picky about. Basically, a version like this is pretty good. As for the more detailed work, director Wang Zhengfei will be responsible for it.
In post-production, in addition to conventional issues such as picture editing and dubbing, there is another very important aspect, and that is the post-production of special effects.
Especially for the martial arts blockbuster "Qin Shi Mingyue", the performance of martial arts is absolutely inseparable from the application of special effects, as well as various gorgeous fighting movements, as well as various super powers of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth.
Post-production special effects.
This is the first time for Wang Zhengfei to contact a special effects company. In the past, when "Immortal" was made, Wang Zhengfei did not need post-production special effects. After all, although it was called a science fiction film, it was mixed with various academic discussions. To put it bluntly,
, in fact, it is a TV series that sells dogs over sheep's heads. But this time it is different. There are a lot of needs, and Wang Zhengfei doesn't dare to do it casually.
As early as when he was still filming "Qin Shi Mingyue", Wang Zhengfei had already asked Gao Yan to find a suitable stunt company. Finally, Gao Yan chose a stunt company called Technicolor for Wang Zhengfei.
According to the information given by Gao Yan, Technicolor is a visual effects technology company with international production standards. It has a 90-year history of specializing in film and television post-production technical services in Hollywood, USA. It provides technical production and services for about 200 films to Hollywood every year.
Its subsidiaries are located in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Thailand, etc.
technicolor's production team is composed of professionals with rich experience in film and television post-production. Some very classic international blockbusters, such as "Alien", "Harry Potter" 1-5, "Trojan Horse", "Tomb Raider", "Batman"
Technicolor is responsible for the special effects work of movies such as "The Da Vinci Code", "X-Men 3" and "Poseidon", and has won multiple Oscar technical awards.
Even Technicolor’s mainland subsidiary, Technicolor, has successively produced visual effects for the movies "The Banquet", "City of Golden Armor", and "Assembly". These movies have provided very shocking effects to domestic audiences.
The audio-visual effects also achieved very good box office results.
According to the information given by Gao Yan, Gao Yan feels that this company is quite suitable. It is not that he has not done post-production before, but relatively speaking, the special effects part of post-production is much less. But this time, "Qin Shi"
"Ming Yue" is full of places that require the use of special effects, so naturally we need to find a professional company to do it, and this Technicolor company is still the first-class special effects company.
Although there is a saying that 90% of the world's special effects are concentrated in Hollywood in the United States, and 90% of the special effects in Hollywood in the United States are concentrated in DreamWorks, but in fact, relatively speaking, other companies also have good technology, even domestic stunts.
, it is not as bad as outsiders imagine. As Wang Zhengfei knows, in today's developed society, it is actually difficult for computer technology to form a substantial monopoly. It basically has advantages, but it is impossible to achieve a complete monopoly.
Completely leaving everyone else behind.
The same goes for computer stunts in the later stages. Domestic technology is not as bad as most people think. So what caused the special effects to look so rough to the audience? To be honest, the main reason is that there is no money, excluding domestic and foreign technicians.
Not to mention the wage gap, the key point is that domestic companies are not very willing to invest money. The movie is okay, after all, it is only about a hundred minutes, and the parts that require stunts are only a few dozen minutes. It can be compared.
Sufficient funds are spent on this, but TV is different. The areas that require special effects range from ten to dozens of times that of movies, and the investment is usually only a fraction of that of movies. In this case,
Under such circumstances, how can film and television companies spend a lot of money on stunts? And they all think so. Anyway, everyone is like this. The audience has to accept it even if they don’t accept it. The audience who has no choice can only choose to accept it, so it seems like
It’s because the special effects are particularly bad, but that’s not the case. As long as they are willing to pay for it, domestic stunt companies can produce first-class effects, which is enough, because after all, although special effects are important, they are not everything, just like the Japanese film "
"Final Fantasy" claims that the characters' hair can be half as long as a real person's. This is incredible, but once it came out, the audience didn't buy it, and the box office was also a hit.
This time, the investment given by Star Entertainment for "Qin Shi Mingyue" is 30 million, which is almost as much as the investment in ordinary TV series. Even for a so-called big production like Zhang Jizhong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", its investment is only 30 million.
It's only 45 million, but Xingchen Entertainment invested 30 million in one breath to do stunts, which is definitely a huge investment.
Spending 30 million to create a luxurious visual enjoyment must be spent wisely. If it is not enough, Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan can continue to invest.
In short, Wang Zhengfei will never allow any shoddy situation that is usually encountered in China to happen to him.
After confirming that there were no problems with Liu Yu's editing, Wang Zhengfei set off for Technicolor's mainland branch. He had already made good friends with the company's boss and discussed the production of this stunt.
Wang Zhengfei took no one else with him and hit the road alone. After a traffic jam, he finally arrived at Technicolor Company.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Technicolor, I saw a quarrel. Two young men and women were angry at Technicolor.
"That's too much. I, Yang Guang, swear that you will regret treating us like this!" The person who spoke was a young man in his twenties, with a pretty face full of indignation.
"Guangzi, let's go. This technicolor company will regret it sooner or later!" Next to the young man named Yang Guang was an indistinguishable man who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had a pair of watery big shoes.
Baby-faced girl with bright eyes.
The girl also had an indignant look on her face, and she was holding a CD in her snow-white hand.
Seeing that the two of them were still chattering, the security guards of Technicolor Company became very impatient. One of them said: "Are you two finished? You have already said that our boss is not here. The Blue Sky Special Effects Studio did not see where we are."
What? It’s ridiculous to come to us to sell your technology!”
Another security guard next to him also laughed wildly, and it seemed that he didn't take these two people seriously at all.
"Frog in the well, although your technicolor is a first-class company in the country, and although our Blue Sky Special Effects has not been established for a long time, it will definitely not be worse than you. What do you people know!" Yang Guang said angrily.
"Yeah, we don't know anything. We're just gatekeepers, so don't talk nonsense here, or I'll beat you up!" The security guard also said angrily.
"Photon, why are you talking to them so much? Let's go. There will be companies that appreciate our technology!" The girl pulled Yang Guang's sleeve and said.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Wang Zhengfei suddenly said: "You two, please stay!"
In the doubtful eyes of the two people, Wang Zhengfei quickly walked up to them and said: "I wonder if you two are from a post-production studio!"
"Yeah!" Yang Guang nodded and said.
"I don't know how to address you two, but my name is Wang Zhengfei!" Wang Zhengfei took the lead in introducing himself, staring at the two people with bright eyes.
What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century is talent, no matter what kind of talent it is, it is talent, and these two people are obviously the talent to do the post-production special effects that Wang Zhengfei needs most now.
"Wang, Wang Zhengfei... you are Wang Zhengfei!" The girl recognized Wang Zhengfei first. Originally, Wang Zhengfei was wearing a pair of wide-brimmed sunglasses. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to recognize Wang Zhengfei. Now Wang Zhengfei looks like this
After introduction, and walking in front of the two of them, they were recognized easily.
"Yes, I am Wang Zhengfei!" Wang Zhengfei nodded with a smile. Now that his name is very famous, it is not surprising for others to recognize him.
"Hello, Mr. Wang Zhengfei, my name is Yang Guang (this role is played by San Huo), and this is my partner, Fang Yun'er (this role is played by Liu Hu)!" Yang Guang is still more experienced than that girl after all.
Some of them reacted immediately and introduced themselves.
