Chapter 902: Two Fists
Yin Jun quickly thought of his "The Lion King".
As the pinnacle of 2D animation and the last swan song, "The Lion King" is, of course, the absolute representative of American hand-drawn animation.
However, after many years, "The Lion King" was still converted to IMAX and 3D versions, and after its release, the box office was actually good.
Now having The Lion King, like The Matrix 2, release the 2D and IMAX versions together, is actually a good choice.
Anyway, there is no IMAX anywhere else, only ordinary 2D screens, and if you want to have a better enjoyment, come to the IMAX theater!
Calculate the time, in another month, almost the artists should also return from the African savannah.
They passed in March, and the students selected from more than a dozen art academies across the country on the Huaguo side, under the leadership of a group of senior artists such as Chang Huanxi of the Shanghai Art Factory, went directly from China to Africa.
There are a total of 120 people on the Chinese side, plus 80 Disney artists, a total of 200 people, plus a line of staff, a total of 300 people, camping in Africa, and changing directions from time to time with the migration of animals.
Only these people will definitely not work, Disney has hired more than 200 guides and logistics personnel in Africa alone, plus a team of 100 people directly invited by the government, which can be regarded as sufficient security guarantees.
Both sides are the top artists from their respective countries, and when they get together, of course, they are not convinced, and they want to suppress each other.
As a result, a healthy competition has been formed, and you are chasing after me to sketch, compare, and discuss...... In the past three months, I have basically drawn all the animals that should appear on the African savannah, and they are frontal, sideways, flying, running, sleeping...... and so on, there are hundreds of copies and corrections.
With another month of missing and correcting and an overall depiction of the environment of different countries and regions, it is almost time for them to return to the United States in July for the second step of depiction and composition.
Because Disney has a tradition of hand-drawn animation, Yin Jun insisted on using the old tradition in this "The Lion King", which was recognized by most of the old Disney employees.
They don't care what expenses are big and time-consuming, as long as they can use their strengths to complete the animation best, that is the most appropriate, and it is the most suitable for Disney's tradition!
It takes about four months to paint, another three months to make, and finally to check and fill in the gaps, which is about 11 months, that is, a year.
As for the IMAX version, there is no way to shoot directly with IMAX equipment at this stage, so it is still only possible to use IMAX to convert, which will take about half a month.
Then in March next year, all the preparations will be completed.
If the schedule is set in advance, it will definitely be a good schedule to start releasing in June before next summer.
However, Yin Jun felt that this speed was too slow.
Of course, the teenager definitely didn't want to order the crew of "The Lion King" to speed up the production and speed up.
He himself is a person who likes to work slowly and carefully, and "The Lion King", a classic in his previous life, should not be destroyed in his own hands.
Yin Jun just thinks that according to the planned speed, 100 IMAX theaters will be built in February next year, and he can't let it be left there for a few months, right?
Although there must be other movies, I hope to use the ordinary screen version to release my own movie, but you don't use your biggest advantage this time, but use the ordinary 2D screen with the flow, my IMAX reputation has not been played, and the omen is a little bad!
I think the first one was to show my own film.
My own IMAX movie!
Now in June, it will be released at the end of February and early March next year, and it will take 8 months.
It's definitely too late to make movies with those complex special effects.
Only movies that have gimmicks, good box office, and suitable for IMAX viewing can have a sensational effect.
So which one am I going to make?
Yin Jun thought about it for a long time, and suddenly a familiar picture appeared in his mind.
That super classic poster, Schwarzenegger riding a Harley motorcycle, wearing black leather pants, wearing black glasses, and driving on the road with a blank face.
"Terminator"!
This super movie that has made both Mr. Bodybuilder and a truck driver popular!
The first part of "Terminator" created the classic idea of robots coming back from the future, and it was also the first time that an anthropomorphic robot came out, still so powerful and irresistible.
Schwarzenegger doesn't know if it's because he eats too much, he has a paralyzed expression, and he will be scolded by the director when he stars in other films, but in "The Terminator", there is no second person who is more suitable than him to play the cruel and indifferent robot.
In 2017, the most famous "Movie Weekly" once launched a poll for the audience to choose which 20th century film you think is the most collectible, and unexpectedly more than 40% of the respondents chose "The Terminator".
From this, you can imagine the shock and joy it brought to the audience at that time.
Recall carefully, although this movie was released in 1984, its general idea should already exist now.
Quite simply, the truck driver has now gone to Italy and has already filmed the first movie in his life - "Piranha 2".
Because of the contradiction with almost everyone such as the producer, actors, and production staff, he was fired in a week.
Then he stayed in Italy, quietly went to pry the door into the production studio, and edited the film he filmed by himself, but in the end there was no bird use, and after the producer found out, all of them were destroyed by him.
Overall, the film was very unpleasant and painful for the truck drivers.
However, it is precisely in that humiliating, embarrassed, and helpless environment that the truck driver has nightmares every day, and he has achieved a dream of a robot from the future chasing him.
When he returned to the United States, he wrote down the dream and made it into a script.
It is precisely because of the painful experience of "Piranha 2" that the truck driver made up his mind that from now on, as long as I make a movie, I will be in control!
Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to sell the script of "Terminator" to the female boss of a medium-sized production company for $1, and asked for just three: I shoot, I produce, and I control the overall situation!
The female boss is also a discerning hero and agreed to him.
Then the truck driver soared into the sky and became an irreplaceable card god in the minds of thousands of fans!
Oh, by the way, this female boss, also the first wife of a truck driver.
And the truck driver has basically become the director that Hollywood has ever been able to control the entire crew and post-production on his own from the start.
The only one who is the same as him, there is only one Spielberg.
Spielberg too, after the first movie "Jaws", he had the power to control everything.
Now Yin Jun can't guarantee that the truck driver has written the script, but he dares to guarantee that even if the truck driver writes the script, he will not be able to make a movie.
Why?
Because Yin Jun registered a very detailed script for "The Terminator" in 1979!
It's been two years now, and if you talk about how you got it in your dreams, it's completely useless.
However, this did not prevent Yin Jun from inviting him over and letting him shoot this "Terminator".
It is true that the truck driver has a thousand kinds of shortcomings, but his seriousness and devotion to movies is definitely something that all filmmakers should learn.
Not to mention anything else, tying himself to the plane and accompanying Schwarzenegger to shoot this scene, such a crazy move is not something that ordinary people dare to do.
Yin Jun knows the characteristics of the truck driver and knows his ability, so he will definitely give him the greatest support.
I'm not afraid of the truck driver burning money, I'm not afraid of him procrastinating, and I'm not even afraid of him reshooting.
As long as he can make the movie according to his own heart, it will be enough.
Cameron made films, but the speed was not very slow.
If you look at the previous 90s, he almost made a film a year and a half to release it.
That is, after "Titanic", in order to pursue the ultimate 3D and IMAX technology, he filmed "Avatar" for so long.
is like "The Terminator", in Yin Jun's impression, Cameron seems to have only been filmed for less than 6 months.
So giving him 8 months is enough.
In addition, Cameron is still a worthless little director, Yin Jun is strict with him, so that he must complete all the post-production in February, I think he won't resist, right?
After all, this truck driver has a very stubborn personality, and in order to achieve his goal, he is willing to suffer any hardship.
What is the point of speeding up the progress and working more overtime?
This is the card god of the future!
Now Yin Jun's only worry is whether Cameron can use IMAX shooting equipment smoothly.
IMAX shooting equipment is not an ordinary camera, you can carry it alone, but it is very large and bulky.
Even in 2020, the best way for it to appear is still controlled by a robotic arm.
Or...... Or is it the same as "The Lion King", shoot the ordinary version first, and then switch to the system at the end?
Yin Jun began to groan.
Of course, the two methods have their own merits, and you can't say that one method is necessarily better than the other.
But in order to succeed, you have to make a choice, or rather a compromise.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yin Jun finally made a decision.
When the truck driver returned to the United States, he was asked to go to IMAX immediately, so that he could see the IMAX shooting equipment and know the characteristics of IMAX, and then make his own choice.
However, if because of this, the release time of "The Terminator" becomes late, then what should be done?
Could it be that together with "The Lion King", the front and rear feet occupy the May and June schedules?
Or pull "Terminator" to the official summer file in August?
The boy was a little entangled for a while.
