Question marks popped up on several people's heads.
Does the original film Lu Tian mentioned refer to the original film of the new movie?
Has he finished filming?
"In the Mouth of a Madman" has just been released. Has the new movie solved the most difficult part of filming?
Is this really as fast as humans can do it?
Compared with their previous doubts about the work and their expectations of seeing clips from Lu Jian's new movie, this group of film and television practitioners were more shocked.
Many of them originally thought that Lu Jian was just recruiting some people for his team. By joining Lu Jian, they could learn the most advanced post-production experience, get to know some big shots, and accumulate connections to help with future work.
When they saw the brand new office, the most they thought was that Lu Jian might be expanding his business and opening a new studio here.
But now it seems like he is really just here to do post-production work?
Why did Lu Tan spend so much money and conduct such weird interviews?
Several people followed Lu Tiao into the screening room.
Lu Tan didn't explain much, so he played the sample video he showed Qin Tiantian last night and selected some unprocessed clips for these people to see.
"...The current progress is like this. What you have to do is to post-process the original film into a sample. I will give certain instructions on the specific details. Of course, I also hope that everyone has ideas to put forward.
All of you are leaders in the industry, and I believe you will also have unique insights.”
Lu Jian turned on the lights in the screening room and explained.
"..."
Everyone sitting in the screening room looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"Is this really the original film?"
Bai Qiquan muttered.
Originally, he thought that the original film Lu Jian was talking about was the kind of original video that was shot with actors in front of a green screen or with rough props and scenery. This kind of video not only requires special effects, but also requires post-production.
The film quality is extremely rough.
However, the "original film" that Lu Jian played to them had already been completed except for some side work such as filters, post-production color correction, and depth of field processing.
No, not only was it done, but it was done perfectly.
The movements of monsters, the movement of hair, the effects of snow, the particle expression of bows and arrows, and the processing of large scenes and buildings. It can be said that there is no problem in watching this original film directly as a feature film.
There are even a few people who specialize in this field who feel that even if they were given a year or two and unlimited funds to make these pictures, they might not be able to do better.
These special effects are the biggest workload during post-production.
Good guy.
At first, I thought Lu Jian asked him to do the entire film, but later he found out that he would only be responsible for the post-production. Now, everyone sitting in the screening room realized that he was asked by Lu Jian to be the tinker to complete the final aftermath.
of.
This is like a jigsaw puzzle with thousands of pieces. Lu Tan has put it together until only the last two or three pieces are left, and then hired several people to finish the puzzle. It is also like Lu Tan has proved Goldbach's conjecture, but is too lazy to copy it.
And I invited them to come over and help me copy and print it.
In fact, your work does not require too much technical content. As long as you work normally for a few years, you can complete it successfully.
Most of the salaries offered by Lu Tian are more than twice what they were before they changed jobs.
Is this Lu Tan doing charity?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion until Bai Qiquan raised his hand.
"Well, Director Lu, your original film is already completed at a high enough level. Is it enough for us to just do the post-production chores?"
"That's understandable."
Lu Tan agreed without hesitation.
Click——
Several people's worldviews were shattered.
Are rich people so willful?
Or is Lu Tan using money to humiliate us?
No, no, no, if I give him so much money, I wish Lu Tan could be humiliated even more.
Wait, think about it on the other hand, if Lu Tian does these chores that don't require much technical content by himself, wouldn't it be a waste of his precious creative time?
It turns out that this is because director Lu Jian had too much inspiration and wanted to spend more time creating, so he left these simple repetitive tasks to us.
Some people have already begun to make up their minds.
Since it was his first day on the job, Lu Tan did not arrange formal work. He only asked everyone to get familiar with each other and the work environment, and by the way, he helped arrange houses for employees who had no place to live.
After settling the company's affairs, Lu Tiao came to the office building of Jiangcheng Industrial.
Here, he made an appointment with the manager of AMC theaters, a Chinese named Thomas Lee.
AMC is one of the largest theater chains in the world. In contrast, Jiangcheng Cinemas of Jiangcheng Industry only has a relatively large influence in the southeastern region, while AMC firmly occupies the European and American markets. In addition, there is Empire Entertainment Group
Smaller cinemas such as Cinemas and Cinemas are the main players in the overseas film market. If Lu Jian wants his movies to be released simultaneously overseas, he needs to contact these cinemas and convince them to provide schedules and film schedules.
.
In the domestic market, Lu Jian's box office appeal is already very strong. After all, there are not many directors who can make two consecutive films with a box office of more than 2 billion, let alone a niche genre such as horror and thriller.
But in foreign markets, Lu Jian's reputation is not that great.
The domestic box office of 2 billion US dollars is only more than 300 million US dollars abroad. There are many movies that far exceed this figure. In the eyes of people who are not familiar with Lu Jian, Lu Jian is just a pretty good commercial film director.
In addition, due to domestic and foreign market preferences, many domestically successful movies are actually not popular abroad.
Let’s not talk about the island country next door. Apart from blockbusters such as superhero movies, the remaining top-grossing films are cartoons. Many popular domestic crime films and comedies do not have satisfactory box office returns abroad, and they have a certain national flavor.
The military films have no sound abroad.
Prior to this, the highest-grossing Chinese-language film abroad was a martial arts film with a box office of US$210 million, followed by a historical war film with a box office of US$140 million, and the third with a box office of only US$80 million.
Most foreigners like kung fu movies and costumed martial arts and war movies. Even movies from island countries where horror movies are popular can hardly get good reviews in Europe and the United States, which have the largest box office. For those upright foreigners, traditional style horror is not as good as chainsaws and plasma chaos.
fly.
As for Lu Jian, he needs to initially convince the theaters to recognize his movie.
In the reception room of Jiangcheng Industrial Office Building, Lu Tian met Thomas Lee, who had grown up abroad.
"Mr. Li, I brought you some small gifts."
Lu Tan put the bag in his hand on the coffee table and took out the contents.
"These are the CDs of my two previous movies. I think no matter what conclusion our cooperation will reach today, you can watch my movies for entertainment."
