Chapter 108 Special Effects Scene

Chen Jingxing did not intend to pay attention to Zhang Weiping's troubleshooting.

This person might be looking forward to his public rebuttals online. After all, this guy should have seen Chen Jingxing refute the rumors on Weibo and slapping Wu Tingxuan in the face.

Moreover, when Zhang Weiping was sarcastic, he was not good at pulling out his own movie, which would seem too stiff, so he might still be looking forward to Chen Jingxing's tough counterattack and bringing his movies.

For example, "Mr. Zhang Weiping is not worried about me, but he should care more about the box office of his own movies. Criticizing other people's movies will not make his works more popular."

Or, "Since you are so unfavorable, Mr. Zhang Weiping and I will make a bet to see which of our movies has a higher box office? The loser..."

What would he do?

Of course it is impossible. Zhang Weiping did not give him anyway. Anyway, Wu Tingxuan's fans are there, "Signal" will not lack popularity even during the filming process. Why should he give Zhang Weiping the camera?

Even if he wants to retaliate, he will only wait until the box office of "The White-Haired Witch" fails.

As for the doubts and concerns that a few viewers have developed about Chen Jingxing’s new film, he has no choice.

If Chen Jingxing heard that director of China wanted to make a science fiction film with an investment of over 100 million yuan, he would also have doubts.

It would be better to save money to hire more traffic stars than to invest more money in the later stages.

Lei Jiayin walked over panting with the blue inflatable man.

"Director, please let me take a break first, I'll drink a bottle of water first." Lei Jiayin sat on the ground panting.

The reason why Chen Jingxing used a large number of special effects shots in these two movies was to test Mo's technical capabilities in the special effects company that he had just invested in, and secondly, it also made Mo's experience increase.

The difficulty of shooting this scene is that Lei Jiayin has to complete complex movements, and also has to carry her personal and speak her lines on her back, and at the same time expresses the characters' emotions, especially when choosing the escape path in the end, the characters' struggles and desperate bets.

He can only choose a special effects company and use demand to artificially improve its technical strength.

In fact, Hollywood special effects companies are also demand-oriented. The director's demand drives the improvement of technology, which is an important driving force for the development of special effects companies.

In China, in 2014, this is still the top special effects technology in the minds of many industry professionals, and in practice, the green screen is very fake.

The producer was happy to be fooled in the later stages, so he thought that the domestic special effects were at this level. I have tried my best, so the audience can do it.

This is actually not easy.

Of course, we must invite top foreign special effects companies to participate in the production, but Mo also has to take on part of the work.

Chen Jingxing replayed it back behind the monitor, touched his chin and said, "Do it again. When you make a choice, you will have to lengthen the pause time. And when you look at this section, why did your waist suddenly rise up? You must always pay attention that you are carrying a person's weight."

"Director, how about it? Is this time okay?"

Of course, real shots have the benefits of real shots. There are many famous directors who can use real shots without special effects. The texture of real shots is that no matter how fine the special effects are, they cannot be completely imitated.

In the United States, green screen special effects have been fully penetrated into the normal production of American dramas. Actors basically do not leave the studio, and many outdoor scenes and even street scenes are completed in the late stage of green screens.

...

What supports a science fiction blockbuster is a complete system. Even directors with awards are unable to complete an industrial film without the support of this system.

Because workshop-style movies and industrial movies are really two completely different things, no matter how exciting the filmmaker's previous low-cost movies were.

Of course, Chen Jingxing has reduced the difficulty for him. He will definitely not be able to complete the shooting with a real person on his back. Although Lei Jiayin had half a month of weight gain and training before the shooting, this was far from enough. The strength of elite firefighters cannot be achieved through short-term training.

The plot that Chen Jingxing is filming is about the father played by Lei Jiayin in the warehouse fire. In order to save people, he went deep into a dangerous place in the building. When he chose the escape path, he remembered what the mysterious man who claimed to be his son said on the intercom and made another choice. His fate of dying in this fire changed.

In particular, the estimated production cost of "Source Code" is more than 80 million, so the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars Zhang Weiping mentioned is not an exaggeration.

Of course, the shooting location is not a real warehouse, but a studio.

Because the movie Chen Jingxing really wanted to make after "Signal" and "Source Code" was a real industrial blockbuster.

Most of the domestic film and television drama production and post-production special effects are in a relationship of mutual confusion.

The producers are stingy and even delinquent in post-production costs, the cramped post-production cycle, and the extremely unprofessional shooting process caused by the amateur understanding of special effects. These all force the post-production special effects company to fool Party A.

In Chen Jingxing's plan, these two movies are the standard "special effects invisibility" movies, which means that the audience feels that there are no special effects shots in the movie, but in fact, special effects shots are everywhere.

This is also why the emergence of a small broken ball in the plane in his previous life brought great shock to many movie fans, including him.

It's a bit funny to say that many domestic special effects companies have improved their technology in recent years mostly through outsourcing of foreign special effects companies.

So what he carries is actually a dummy for "snaping the blue". In addition, some dangerous moves have also been used as a stand-in, but Lei Jiayin still has to complete the scene.

Moreover, this vicious cycle has even caused the working environment of employees of special effects companies to deteriorate in the later stage, and the talent loss is relatively serious.

The technical strength of domestic special effects companies is not enough to improve in the process of Party B fooling Party A and Party A fooling audiences.

In fact, in Chen Jingxing's mind, "Signal" and "Source Code" cannot be called a real industrial film.

For example, in "Signal", many of the environments in China in the 1990s, street scenes have to be completed by green screens.

Chen Jingxing has no time to wait for the domestic special effects industry to gradually improve in outsourcing, or wait for technical tycoons like Guo Fan or Lu Yang to improve the domestic visual effects level.

Although the production cost is indeed a lot.

The production cost of "Signal" also reached 50 million.

Luo Chen walked over. Although there was no scene in this plot, he still stayed in the studio. After all, filming is inevitable and waiting, and the studio environment is quite comfortable, larger than the RV space.

"Tsk tsk, Brother Lei, you are not strong enough. You're so panting after three times. Fortunately, my sister-in-law didn't come to visit the set today."

Lei Jiayin said angrily: "If you have the ability, do it again? What can I do if I put my age here? If I were ten years younger, it wouldn't be a problem. You are also a four-year-old. Don't gloat."

"...I'm just thirty this year, where did I get to the fourth place? Fortunately, my fans are not here, otherwise you won't be able to leave the studio."
