Chapter 670: Shocking Special Effects!

These technicians that Su Yang poached from other companies actually have the ability. Otherwise, "Wolf Warrior" would not have been able to do so many special effects.

However, their strength can indeed only be regarded as average, even if they are accompanied by Su Yang, at most they are only at the level of the second tier in China, and they are not even the first tier. The key places need to be done by Su Yang himself.

This is not enough to see in front of Su Yang, who now has [ultimate film and television post-production capabilities].

In addition, Su Yang now has a [fully automatic special effects production server] at the same level as him, and their role is even smaller.

But Su Yang did not cross the river and tear down the bridge and dismiss them, but discussed letting them transform, from being responsible for all special effects to being responsible for special effects design.

It's actually cutting their workload in half, which is a good thing for them. But... People are competitive.

Although Su Yang didn't say it explicitly, he asked them to only do the special effects design in the early stage, and the rest of the special effects rendering was handed over to another team, obviously looking down on their level. So the special effects staff in the company felt uncomfortable.

They think that their strength is actually very good, and they have been improving, they are fully qualified for the special effects of "The Wandering Planet", and they can reach the level that Su Yang is satisfied with, and they hope that Su Yang can give themselves a chance.

Su Yang couldn't resist this group of stubborn technical nerds, so he had to agree.

So the two sides decided to have a competition:

The special effects team of the film and television company and "Su Yang's other special effects team" each made a special effects clip of "The Wandering Earth", and then competed to see whose special effects were outstanding, and finally let Su Yang and Guo Fan decide whose clip to use, and whoever won.

Because of this one-clip appointment, the group of technical nerds in the film and television company are riveting, and they all want to win.

Another team of Su Yang... Well, it's himself, but he doesn't have much pressure. As he got more and more virtual servers, he tried to make more and more special effects demos, and Su Yang's understanding of his technology became more and more comprehensive.

For the first time, he knew... It turns out that I am so good!

Sometimes he himself is surprised that "he" can make such excellent special effects.

So he chose a very simple, but very technical special effects clip, ready to represent "another team" and compete with the company's tech nerds.

Even... Even after explaining which team made this clip, Su Yang was ready.

He tried to get through it perfectly, and then put the filmmaking of "The Wandering Planet" on track.

The day of the competition came soon, and on that day, all the production staff of the film and television company came to the company early.

One by one, they rarely changed into neat... plaid his shirt, and then combed the few hairs on his head, waiting for Su Yang's arrival.

While waiting, several more active special effects personnel were chatting quietly.

"Do you think we can win?"

"I don't know..."

"I think it's enough to choke..."

Special effects personnel are actually a kind of technician, but technicians are coding code, and they are stacking "hairs".

It's really stacked with hairs, because they need to render the hairs frame by frame to make special effects, and finally form a vivid character and animal.

For example, when a special effects artist makes a wolf, he needs to design what direction its hair is when it is moving, and what direction it will be when it is stationary.

In the end, all the hair, limbs, and eyes formed a wolf, which condensed into a single shot.

This level of boring and tedious work can drive even a technician crazy.

Therefore, most of the people who can be special effects producers are also otaku: only by living in a house can they withstand loneliness.

And the minds of otaku are relatively simple, they are not used to lying, thinking that one is one and two is two.

Their strength in China is good, but compared to Su Yang, they are nothing.

And now Su Yang has decided to use another team to do special effects, and they also know in their hearts that if Su Yang is not 100% sure that the other party is better than them, he will definitely not make such a decision.

So even though their competitive spirit led them to make this competition, they were completely unsure of their hearts.

"Which team did you say Mr. Su was looking for? There shouldn't be many people in China who are better than us, right? I haven't heard that they have a job? ”

"I don't know."

"Why don't you know anything?"

"Then you know, you say."

"I don't know. But I know we have to be ambitious. can't be looked down upon by Mr. Su. Mr. Su has cultivated us for so long, and encountered such a big project, if we are thrown off, we will regret it for life. ”

What this special effects person said said was to speak everyone's mind. Everyone is not stupid, when I first watched the project "The Wandering Earth", I felt that this project was too big. Bigger... Almost incomplete.

But later, when Guo Fan came with realistic props, they made special effects lens designs one by one, and even the first special effects demo, they slowly gained confidence.

It is believed that this project is likely to be successful.

This is a domestic sci-fi masterpiece shot with special effects throughout the film! It is said that Mr. Su invested a full 500 million!

500 million! The current domestic film box office champion "Thai Embarrassment" is only 1.2 billion!

It is equivalent to losing money if it does not exceed "Thai Embarrassment"!

What an ambition!

This is a film destined to be etched in the history of Chinese cinema.

There's not a single special effects guy who doesn't want to be involved.

That's why they're so competitive.

Just when several people were discussing, the vice president of the film and television company, the original director of the special effects department, also came to the company, and he came with the current head of the technical team. The two walked into the company and chatted easily.

An employee who has a good relationship with the two of them couldn't help asking, "Mr. Fang, today is the day of betting with Mr. Su, why are you so relaxed?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Fang couldn't help but smile and said, "It's because today is the day of betting, so I'm happy." I'm telling you, we might even win this time! ”

The employee was surprised, "Really? ”

Mr. Fang nodded, "Of course it's true." You'll see. ”

Saying that, Mr. Fang and the person in charge of the technical team went to the office, not knowing what to do.

The active tech nerds are talking again.

"Have we been under too much pressure lately?"

"I feel like that too. He's recently lost several handfuls of hair for the final material composition. ”

"I left the last night, and when I was leaving, I saw him in his office drinking and not eating."

"He looks like he hasn't eaten any food."

While a few people were chatting, Su Yang and Guo Fan also came.

As soon as they entered the company, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone couldn't help but look at the two of them in unison. The active special effects personnel didn't speak, but just secretly looked at Su Yang and Guo Fan.

Su Yang and Guo Fan looked at each other and smiled, both of which knew that today was very important for these special effects personnel.

And Su Yang thought more. He was sympathetic to the group of technicians in his company.

They have no idea who they're up against.

And... I am both a player and a referee. How do they win?

Everyone arrived, so everyone packed up and went to the screening room together, ready to watch the video of the two "teams".

The first one to be screened was a video made by the special effects team of Jiadian Pictures.

Before the broadcast, Mr. Fang, the person in charge of the project, came up to explain, and he said to the people below, "Mr. Su, Director Guo, the special effects clip that our team did this time is the best special effects clip I think designed in the movie "The Wandering Planet". ”

"That's the first time the hero and heroine came to the surface of the earth, and then saw the [steering thruster], a one-shot special effects shot."

"When we designed this special effect, we first made the basic concept setting, made a total of 13 seconds of clips with 3D models, and then worked with the company's prop master and Director Guo to make a miniature model of the [steering thruster], [planetary thruster], and even the earth."

"Then shoot the entire special effects shot first, and then render the material particles layer by layer, and finally form this set of special effects demos."

As soon as he finished saying this, the active special effects personnel in the company exploded, and they discussed in a whisper,

"The prop master actually made the miniature?"

"No wonder Fang always said that he was likely to win! It's not the same thing to have a model and not to have a model! ”

"Is this a victory?"

"How so. The prop making itself is also part of the special effects. ”

They were surprised, and so were the rest of the company, obviously Mr. Fang had been hiding this from everyone, and only some of the employees who were involved in making models or final composite renderings knew about it.

And those who were in charge of these two pieces of content, at this time, were also enjoying the envious and surprised eyes of others in the company, and they straightened their chests one by one, with smug on their faces.

They are still very proud to be a killer-level existence at such a critical moment.

After Mr. Fang finished explaining, he took out a copy of the ten-second clip on the hard drive, and then played it back.

In a moment, the screen played a clip of the special effects shot of the [Transformation Thruster].

Su Yang watched the clip on the big screen while recalling the plot of this special effects clip.

This special effects clip is that the protagonist and his party have just come out of the underground base and come to the surface of the earth.,And then the female protagonist saw a huge thruster.,Ask the male owner what this is.,And then the male protagonist explains the clip.。

This clip is a very test of the level of special effects production.

Because it uses a one-shot lens design, starting from the [Transformation Thruster] on the ground, advancing the lens all the way up along the thruster, to the planet's atmosphere, and once again too high a lens, from small to big, into a spectacular scene of thousands of thrusters around the world breathing fire together.

Generally speaking, normal movies end here.

But Guo Fan designed a higher sublimation.

After filming the spectacular scene of thousands of thrusters breathing fire together, he zoomed in again, pulled out the whole picture of the planet, and then pulled out the [Navigator Space Station] whose visual effect was larger than the planet. made a point-point foreshadowing.

The whole special effects design is simply shocking.

At that time, when he saw the special effects script, Su Yang sighed that Guo Fan was really a talent, worthy of being born in comics, and the lens of this design was amazing.

And now, when this special effects clip appears in front of him, witnessing this spectacular scene with his own eyes, and even the details are very perfect, even if this is the work of the "opponent", Su Yang has to say that it is really wonderful!

The whole special effects clip, although it is still a little rough, has surpassed the special effects of most domestic movies, which makes people have a heart-pounding visual enjoyment.
