From wilderness to palace

Chapter 308 First Experience of Special Effects

The arrival of the crew not only brought stable income to the backer, but also brought a glimmer of hope to the film and television city under construction.For the villagers of Niujiantun and the local government, they actually have doubts about this investment.

Although the initial investment of [-] million yuan has already entered the company account of the film city.But for many people, they also doubt that after the film and television city is built, will there be crews coming to film?Will there be tourists coming to play?

Now a crew has finally arrived, which means that the film and television city has played a role.Even if the crew's arrival, it seems that it will not bring any obvious benefits to the villagers and the local government, but at least it will increase some popularity!

Not to mention anything else, just a few villagers in Niujiantun were invited by the crew to play a temporary cameo as extras.Even if the wages paid for a day are not too much, for these villagers, it can be regarded as an experience of what it is like to film a movie.

Compared with the villagers in the surrounding villages, they have more content and fun to chat in their spare time.For the crew stationed in Kaoshantunhe Film and Television City, after a short period of adaptation, they also began to enter the intense shooting work.

For the three leading actors, filming is both a profession and a job, so naturally they dare not slack off in the slightest.But for Liu Yaozu, who is a production consultant, although he did not participate in the filming, he was not idle either.

Looking at the shot, Liu Yaozu, who was sitting in the temporary office of the special effects working group, also said directly: "To capture the essence of this movie, special effects are very important. Therefore, your next task is very heavy."

"Director, there are only a few of us making so many special effects shots, I'm afraid we have to work overtime every day!"

The special effects artist called Director Liu Yaozu is also an IT expert transferred from Jianyue Technology.The most important thing is that he was Liu Yaozu's subordinate earlier, so he naturally knows how powerful this young director's computer skills are.

Facing the complaints from his former subordinates with a smile, Liu Yaozu also scolded with a smile: "What? You want to raise wages before you start working? Don't worry, I will send you a software later to combine special effects with the materials.

Based on your technical level, I believe the speed of special effects production should be able to keep up with the speed of movie shooting.What you really need to do is hand over the completed special effects shots to me and the director for review. "

As soon as this remark came out, the special effects artists instantly rejoiced and said, "Director Liu, if it's these jobs, then we have no problem."

Liu Yaozu sent the pre-made special effects software to the computers of these special effects artists.Seeing that a large amount of special effects materials have been stored in this software, they can even find a lot of special effects infrastructure from it.

With these basic structures, they can save almost half of their workload in the subsequent synthesis process.Several special effects artists specially recruited by the company were so surprised when they saw this special effects software that they couldn't control their expressions.

He even said quickly: "Director Liu, did you develop this special effects software independently?"

"Well! I believe you all know that this movie will use a lot of special effects shots. If you want the movie to have a truly shocking effect after it is released, the special effects must also reach the international first-class level. So I took the time to make a software by myself.

For a short time, you can use this software yourself, don't spread it for the time being.I believe you should have signed a non-disclosure agreement before accepting this job.We are all from IT background, so I don’t need to emphasize too much, right? "

"understand!"

Until now, the IT engineers in charge of film special effects production finally understood why the special effects team only had a few of them.For other film and television companies, with so many special effects shots, I am afraid that they will have to hire foreign special effects companies to be responsible.

Only in that way, the cost of filming the film will increase exponentially.What really excites and admires these special effects artists is the special effects software produced by Liu Yaozu. The release of its professional effects is believed to shock the entire special effects circle.

With this powerful special effects software, the special effects production department of Shengshi Entertainment will become another profitable department of the company in the future.Even in the future, we do not rule out the possibility of separating from the company and becoming a special effects company.

What these special effects artists look forward to even more is that when the movie is released, the special effects shots produced will surely shock the major domestic film and television companies, and even make those domestic special effects companies dumbfounded.

Even a well-known foreign special effects company, seeing the special effects of this movie, may doubt it. Is this really a special effects shot produced by a domestic special effects company?Of course, these are all things to say, and the final result will not be known until the movie is released.

When the crew was shooting the shots of the nine-story demon building, Liu Yaozu, who had already produced the special effects in the underground fortress, also called the director, producer, and actors to show them the special effects shots made of special effects.

Ye Chaokun and others, who have been busy shooting recently, learned that the special effects shots were completed, and they all looked forward to the final composite effect.In many cases, it is somewhat difficult for them to shoot without real objects.

If they have already shot it in place when they don’t have the real thing to shoot, but the composite special effects are stretched in the end, then the viewing experience will be greatly reduced.They are naturally very concerned about whether this drama can be promoted to a higher level.

In order to ensure that the source of the film will not be leaked before the film is released, those who are qualified to enter the conference room to watch the film are naturally trustworthy.Most importantly, they are all prohibited from bringing electronic devices before entering the impromptu conference room.

When everyone gathered in the temporary conference room, Liu Yaozu said without much hesitation: "Release the special effects video you have made for everyone to appreciate. If everyone is satisfied, then our group of special effects shots will be considered complete."

"Okay, Director!"

When they heard that the team leader in charge of special effects respectfully called Director Liu Yaozu, the actors were naturally a little puzzled and curious.But they all know that Liu Yaozu, as the production consultant of the crew, is mainly responsible for post-production special effects production.

When the video was put on the big screen, several actors and directors immediately knew that this was their earlier shot of the underground fortress.With the effect of music, they still feel that the horror atmosphere has increased a lot in an instant.

What they didn't expect was that when the child's cold laughter suddenly came from the camera, everyone tensed up.And in the camera, the virtual shadows of two children flashed quickly, making the viewing effect instantly tense.

What the actors admire most is this sense of horror, which is seamlessly connected with the shots they shot.If they didn't know, they didn't have these things at all when they were filming, I'm afraid several actors would think that it's a hell in broad daylight.

Compared to the astonishment of the actors, the director and producer in charge of the filming felt that the combined effect of the special effects was amazing.When it is turned into a 3D lens in the later stage, I believe that the audience watching the movie will be shocked and scream again and again!

And this effect, is it not what they want to see?Without thrills, how to impress the audience and harvest the box office?
