Perfect Life

On the seventh floor, Minghu Cultural Image Processing Center. "",

Li Qian had been in the No. 1 studio, which was called the "Visual Effects Department" by Minghu Culture, for two hours.

And what he has done is actually only one, and that is: acceptance!

After so many days after returning to China, although He Runqing's concert was to be attended, there was also the final exam of the Film Academy in June, and then he had to talk to Huaxia TV and Shuntian TV again and again for the variety show. The time was still squeezed out by him as much as possible, and he devoted himself to the editing in the later stage.

Finally, at the beginning of July, he basically completed all the editing of the TV series.

Next, it is necessary to wait for the video special effects to process his final cut version from beginning to end, and then make some fine-tuning of small details according to the specific situation, then add the opening and ending and subtitles, and then adjust the audio Once the track is sorted out, it can be completely announced that the production of this TV series is complete.

In fact, the subtitles and so on are relatively simple. In the later stage of the play, special effects are being done while cutting, so when he has completely completed the editing, in fact, the special effects have already been done almost three times. It's two-thirds.

The most important thing is that several major technical difficulties have been overcome, and the next work is actually just adding rendering to the places where the screen rendering has not been performed, and the difficulty of the work is already very low.

Therefore, if not expected, the final completion of this TV series will probably be at the end of July.

The staff accompanied him, Li Qian pulled the progress bar himself, and re-read the clip just now, especially Fahai's cassock spinning in the sky, red bricks sprinkled on the ground, and automatically built into brick walls to block During the flood, he pressed pause every second or two, and then zoomed in on the image to take a closer look at the junction between the brick wall and the flood.

Then, after this time was over, he finally let out a breath, nodded with a smile, turned his head to Lu Ming, the director of the Image Processing Center, and said, "That's right, it's really delicate at this level."

Lu Ming heard this and smiled proudly: "Don't talk about the level of TV broadcast, even if it is made into the highest standard DVD format, so that viewers can buy it back and watch it on the latest technology plasma TV, our resolution is guaranteed to be without any Grainy!"

After a pause, he said again: "Although it's not as high as "Titanic", we are definitely the best in China!"

Li Qian smiled and nodded, then continued to look back.

Compared with the Titanic, where there is no fakeness at all and everything is in front of you, it should be said that the effects of the special effects artists of Minghu Culture are definitely inferior. What Ming said, in the current country, this is definitely the top level, and even if it is put into Hollywood, although it is not comparable to the best two special effects companies, it is still qualified to stand on and pick up some TV level. , or the less demanding schisms in movies.

Frankly speaking, this is the best level Li Qian could have imagined before.

You must know that in the current domestic film and television circle, not to mention TV dramas, even the so-called "special effects" made in China for movies that require higher picture standards, in fact, there are still many that just stay in the later stage and wipe the Weiya on the screen. or a certain hero has made a great effort, giving him some red light or something—really, this level of special effects, from the perspective of those who have experienced the bombardment of Hollywood special effects movies after more than ten years, it is simply It's a low burst!

However, the reason for staying at this stage is not that the country does not have the technical level at all, but that many film companies, many directors and producers do not pay much attention to special effects from the bottom of their hearts.

Only a small number of commercial film directors have a clear understanding of special effects for a long time, but their power is limited, and they are unlikely to affect the film and television company's production company to spend money to set up a special effect company, so they shoot The films that come out are often taken to the United States, Japan and other places for post-production special effects, and even some directors who have higher requirements on the picture, even go abroad to do the printing - Li Qian, Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun. When I help people sit and chat, I feel that the domestic film market has fallen off a cliff since the beginning of 1998, and it is still shrinking collectively until this year. With these domestic production companies and film and television companies, hardware-including Story hardware and technical hardware - not enough attention, there is a considerable relationship.

To put it simply, the audience is no longer a frog at the bottom of the well. Everyone has seen foreign films, especially Hollywood blockbusters, how well-produced they are. Therefore, in the past, it was a good time to make money by making a casual martial arts film online. past.

Because of this, so far this year's summer season, there has been a situation in which domestic filmmakers are extremely blushing - you said that the film market is not good, "Titanic" was full at the beginning, and it has been almost a month since its release. In many places, the attendance rate is still as high as 40%, and it can even reach 70% to 80% on weekends. However, the domestic films released at the same time also have big directors and "big productions", but they always face extremely low attendance rates. , I happened to see it on weekdays, and you may even encounter a situation where one person is booking the venue!

For the filmmakers who have consistently sang the domestic film market, this is an extremely loud slap in the face!

Of course, even if you include "Titanic", which performed exceptionally well, this year's summer season is still underperforming. Compared with the data after last year's slump, this year may not drop significantly, but that's just Because it has already reached the bottom, and there is still a big hit "Titanic" to support the bottom and save the market.

Overall, the domestic film market this year is even worse than last year.

Recently, Cao Zhan went to several small-scale movie salons. In fact, he was just a group of old friends sitting and drinking and chatting about movies. According to the information he fed back, it seems that there are quite a lot of filmmakers in China. In the face of failure, I finally started to calm down and reflect on some things - for example, the article written by Cao Zhan that was written by Cao Zhan when Li Qian just crossed over, about the hardware upgrade of domestic movies, organized by some people in the film circle recently. In small-scale salons, people began to take them out.

And according to Cao Zhan, once, a vice president of a major domestic production company specifically mentioned the issue of special effects.

When these situations came back, Li Qian was really happy.

Of course, it is not true that there are no companies that do special effects at a high level in China. For example, the famous domestic director Liu Chengzhang opened a special effects studio with huge sums of money. It was only in 1994. The studio opened. At that time, he invested almost all of his net worth, which is said to be more than 13 million. But in the end, he couldn't make the highest-level ones, he needed that level, even his own films, he still had to go to the United States to make them, and the low-level ones, he asked for too expensive - the picture of the TV series , I ask not so fine, you just help me erase those ropes and that's ok!

Therefore, the result of high performance and low performance is that his studio has been facing a situation of insufficient work since its establishment. In Li Qian's view, this situation is the most typical of only having ambitions, and there is not enough market for him to release production capacity.

If there is not enough work, then either layoffs or pay cuts. In short, can't keep people.

And not being able to retain people will make you even less able to take on high-level jobs. Moreover, the lack of work will also make it impossible for your technology to gradually improve after overcoming difficulties again and again.

What's more deadly is that his own film production is very limited, so he doesn't even have confidence in his own studio, but after the studio opened, his ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. Two years later, He opened his own film studio, which eventually led to a falling out with the company, which directly led to the loss of a big customer for his special effects studio.

So, until now, that studio has been operating in a bleak way. It is said that it was only in 1996, when Liu Chengzhang's film was a big hit, and he was so proud of it that he paid a sum of money to update some equipment for the special effects studio. Then, in 1998, his film was tragically in Waterloo, and the studio was only half-dead. Hold up.

There have been many rumors in the industry before that his studio is about to run out of steam.

Of course, the collapse of the movie market has attracted domestic filmmakers, power-holders and production companies to reflect on the present. What can't be said is that, as one of the few special effects studios in China with certain technical strength, his work It is said that many production companies are very interested in his studio.

Come to think of it, if he wanted to take the opportunity to let go, even if he lost a little, it wouldn't be too much, it should be a good time.

For Li Qian, the failure experience of his studio brought Li Qian a very important wake-up call - now that it has been opened, it is also clear that special effects will be used in the future film and TV drama market. How important, then at the moment, not only must we continue to do it, but we must strive to do it better and better!

So, the most important thing is that this studio always has work to do!

And even if they can't get outside work for the time being, they should set higher requirements for their work, so that they can continuously improve their overall technical level while overcoming difficulties time and time again.

In short, the special effects studio must not be allowed to follow the old path of Liu Chengzhang!

Therefore, "The Legend of the New White Lady" is just the beginning.

…………

Li Qian continued to watch the film, and when he encountered important special effects, he slowed down and watched it carefully, bit by bit, while encountering the usual plot, and those who have seen it many times and are sure that there will never be any The small special effects of the problem, then watch it normally, or even drag the progress bar directly, jumping to watch - by now, he has already reviewed the sixteenth episode.

This TV series was originally scheduled for thirty-two episodes, but after it was filmed, it was cut and cut again. Although the sub-shots had been clearly drawn before, it was really the turn of the knife. Those shots that were shot before were many. I'm not willing to cut them out. I always have to go through repeated cruelty and remind myself that I must give the highest priority to ensuring the smoothness and precision of the story before finally cutting them out cruelly. Up to now, the final cut version of the finalized version is still up to 40 episodes, and each episode is 55 minutes long!

With the beginning and ending, this is a proper one hour episode!

The editor Da Liu repeatedly suggested that he should still cut it according to an episode of forty to forty-five minutes, but Li Qian thought it over and over again, and felt that the storytelling rhythm of an hour and an episode was the most attractive. It can not only guarantee a great progress in the story of this episode, but also leave enough suspense and anticipation for the following stories. So, in the end, he decided to complete the final cut according to forty episodes.

After watching this episode, Li Qian nodded with satisfaction and stretched.

The person in charge of the special effects side of the film, Lu Ming, snapped his fingers and asked him to change the film, and laughed, "Are you tired?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "I'm happy no matter how tired you are! It's awesome! What a great job!"

Facing the special effects studio, he has always been generous with his praise and praise.

What's more, even from such a critical eye, he has to admit that they are really amazing to be able to achieve this level - it would be a bit exaggerated to say that the special effects are comparable to the movie-level of later generations. Yes, but really, just by looking at it with the naked eye and feeling it, even if Li Qian is blowing the soil to find cracks, it is basically impossible to see the fake.

Bai Suzhen made her gong, and a little bit of Bai Yingying's light would still appear on her fingers, but it was no longer the simple white light in Li Qian's mind, and even her palm was covered. In fact, to put it bluntly, then It is to greatly reduce the frame number of the piece with special effects, sacrificing clarity for special effects. In short, it looks fake.

But now, after the processing of this batch of special effects staff, such a picture has become a little more delicate and translucent light that appears on her fingertips. You can clearly see Bai Suzhen's fingers, and you can see that her fingers are glowing!

Based on this alone, it goes without saying that the special effects of the original seckill, even the special effects done by many domestic movies, may not be comparable to that!

As for the special effect of the white snake's cultivation and transformation into a human form, it is even more - well, just that special effect, all the staff in the studio have been busy for a month and a half! If you calculate the amount of money spent, it probably cost about 5 million in that section! So, you can imagine how beautiful it is!

At the moment, not to mention domestic ones, it is some medium-cost commercial films in Hollywood, which is probably at this level.

In the past two days, after watching more than ten episodes in one breath, Li Qian is more confident the more he watches.

Li Qian is of course confident in the story, plot, and character creation of this TV series. The music is also done by himself, and he is also very confident. Only in the picture, Jin Han is responsible for completing the first half of the process. , it's done beautifully, and now, the special effects studio is about to complete the second half of the process, and it's also done beautifully.

Therefore, such a TV series comes from the legend of the White Snake, which is familiar to Chinese people. The story is wonderful, the characters are vivid, the characteristics are distinct, and the picture is so beautiful that it almost reaches the level of a movie. If it is not popular, is there any reason for it?

…………

The staff took out the production master for the next episode and brought it to Li Qian to replace it, but before he could start watching, Li Qian heard movement at the door, and then someone knocked on the door, Lu Ming first said "please come in", and the door opened. When he opened it, Xie Mingyuan came in.

When he saw Li Qian, he first smiled and said: "You are indeed here. I went to the ninth floor to find you. When I heard that you were not here, I knew that you must be here." After speaking, he nodded to Lu Ming. signal.

Li Qian asked, "Is something wrong?"

Xie Mingyuan asked in turn, "Are you... busy?"

Li Qian laughed when he heard the words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ said to Lu Ming: "It seems that something really happened!" While speaking, after thinking about it, he simply stood up, stretched again, and said, "Then first I'm just too tired to get here, so I'll try to come and watch two more episodes in the afternoon."

Lu Ming nodded happily, "Yes!"

Then, Li Qian turned to look at Xie Mingyuan, "Then... let's talk in my office?"

Xie Mingyuan nodded and said, "Okay."

I just don't know what to say, the big guy's monthly pass is so powerful!

A must have chapter two today!

And then... what? Someone actually said that I was helping to promote the game "Undefeated. Legend"? Do you think people like me who don't play games will help promote the game? Do you think I would be such a person?

Yes.

I am that kind of person.

The key people said that they supported genuine reading, and they also sent 10 million starting coins to book fans. Although I'm not sure if I can send Durex, and I think it's basically impossible, but just sending the starting coins is enough, right?

It is said that there will be an internal test on July 22. There are many benefits. Everyone should try it and see if they can get some starting coins or something. Anyway, it doesn't cost much.

Moreover, my wife is indeed playing this game recently, this is not a lie.

Well, the second update, I strive to deliver it before twelve o'clock! (To be continued.) u
