Chapter 1922： Special effects ready

The latest chapter of the strongest rebirth in life

This year's Oscar, Yin Jun got his wish, but there was a little boy who was very depressed.

He is Gu Tianle.

With the excellent reputation of "Sixth Sense of Soul", he was selected as the best supporting actor in Oscar, but the result was not obtained, which made Gu Zi naturally unhappy.

He didn't care about it at first, but the newspapers and TV's eyeballs in order to attract attention, boasted that he had a very good chance of winning the best supporting actor in Oscar, which made Gu Zai have great expectations.

The more expectations, the more disappointment.

In the end, I hoped that it would be impossible for Gu Tsai to stay alone in Lin Qingxia's manor for two or three days before he could get out and walk around.

When Yin Jun returned to Los Angeles, he met him at Stan Winston's digital headquarters.

Since the acquisition of Stan Winston's studio in April 1980 and reorganization into the digital field, this special effects company has been developing rapidly.

Before Yin Jun did not have much money, he promised to inject at least 10 million US dollars every year to help the company's development, and will not dilute the shares.

After Yin Jun was rich, after obtaining the consent of Stan Winston and others, Yin Jun began to inject a huge sum of US $ 100 million in three years from January 1984 to help companies in the digital field continue to grow.

In this way, although Yin Jun's shares rose to 90%, the value of the shares in everyone's hands has risen a lot compared to before.

The most important thing is that because the digital field is very powerful, the company has 760 employees. In the past few years, it took over 30% of the special effects production in Hollywood.

The remaining 40% is the largest industrial light magic in Hollywood, and all the other special effects companies add up to only 30%.

Industrial Light and Magic is backed by Lucasfilm, with two series of "Star Wars" and "Raiders" to help out, of course, can eat the fattest piece of meat.

In the digital field under Yin Jun, one of the biggest special effects these two years has done is the stealth and alien monsters in "Blood Warrior". This is done very well, which makes Cameron very satisfied.

In addition, there is a similar one, "Resident Evil" directed by Spielberg, but in the first episode of this drama, it is only the special effects on makeup, so it is not as good as the use of "Blood Warrior". Kinds of machinery and special effects resources.

One of the biggest expenses in the digital field today is spending on hardware and software for special effects.

Hardware naturally refers to the production of various models. This requires countless people to take the time to make it slowly. Labor and materials are the biggest expenditure.

On the other hand, software special effects are much more expensive than hardware.

Not only is the continuous production of hundreds of workstations drawing and synthesizing various pictures, but also the continuous purchase of computers and various computer software.

Yes.

In the past few years, the digital field has asked software companies all over the world for various kinds of computer-generated special effects software.

All of them are high prices, so many software companies have increased their investment, and they have successively bought more than a dozen professional software every year.

This not only requires more capital, but also requires more technical personnel to understand and understand these software, so as to make better use of these software to create special effects.

The effect of the alien monster stealth in the "Blood Warrior" produced by the software is much more detailed than that of Yin Jun in the previous life. It greatly shocked people's visual senses and made the box office skyrocket.

Therefore, only 760 employees are needed in the digital field to prop up the structure of the entire company.

And according to Stan Winston, I am afraid that in the next three years, they will add 200-300 employees in order to keep up with the upgrading of various technologies and the production of larger-scale special effects scenes.

This is also an important factor why they should actively accept Yin Jun ’s three-year capital injection of US $ 100 million.

For this group of technology houses, any shares are secondary, and it is most important to meet your own needs and make the best special effects technology.

Although Yin Jun diluted their shares, they did not treat them badly.

Stan Winston, the executive president, has a salary of one year plus bonus bonus of at least 1 million US dollars, the remaining technical team leaders also have 6-7 million, and the technical backbone is at least 400,000 US dollars, even ordinary new employees, one The annual salary is not less than 100,000.

In a country like the United States, people in more than 30 states with an annual income of 50,000 can already be classified as a middle-income class, and more than 120,000 can be said to be a wealthy class.

Everyone is naturally very satisfied with this salary.

Shares are one thing, and salary is another. Only when both meet the demand is the best and the most reassuring job.

After all, staying in the company all day long, at least more than 10 hours, if there is overtime or something, 12 hours a day is very common.

The Americans, the Chinese, and the Japanese are all the same, not to mention their longing for free work, which is highly mobile.

In fact, those with high mobility are those low-grade jobs.

For example, restaurant waiters, ordinary workers, ordinary employees, etc.

Really above the middle class, few people are willing to change jobs often.

This is especially true of technology-related companies like the digital sector.

Now that the boss has solved his worries, they can devote themselves to the work more fully, and they can do the work more finely.

Yin Jun came to the company, Stan Winston naturally took him to look around, and by the way, introduced the company's development status and business progress.

These are actually written almost every half-yearly report, but it still looks more on the scene.

"At present, because of the limitations of special effects technology, movies do not dare to shoot those with a lot of special effects, so usually the special effects lens of a movie is controlled within 10 minutes." Stan Winston introduced, "Our Kirin Group movies It is necessary to pursue perfection even more, reaching about 15 minutes, which has caused a huge increase in cost. "

Yin Jun knew this in his previous life.

Not to mention 10 minutes, basically in the 1980s it was controlled within 5 minutes.

Don't think this time is too short.

Because the effect time is calculated in seconds.

Scattered into various scenes, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, and 10 seconds are innumerable. These dozens of shots mixed together into a special effects movie, and the effect is not bad.

Even in Marvel ’s hero movies in the previous life, the effect time rarely surpassed 30 minutes.

The 30-minute special effects cost an average of more than 100 million yuan, and at most exceeded 300 million US dollars. It can be said that every second special effects are accumulated with money.

Some of the most exaggerated scenes, such as the fast silver of "X-Men Prequel Reverse the Future", the thrilling special effects that rescued everyone in the fire for more than ten seconds, burned tens of millions, with an average of more than 1 million per second! !

Hua Guo ’s films meet the pinnacle of these industrial films, and they can only be ashamed, and they can only start with comedy films.

Of course, the 10-minute and 15-minute special effects that Stan Winston said here are completely two levels compared to the special effects after 2012.

The current 10 seconds can't be used for the next 1 second.

But in today's era, it is very enough.

At least the special effects of Cameron's "Terminator 2", after 20 years, are still not inferior.

Speaking of Cameron, it happens to be here now.

To be precise, he came with Gu Tianle.

Cameron remembered his commitment to Yin Jun. After he discovered that the special effects in the digital field can already be his own liquid robot, he began to participate happily.

"With regard to the special effects in this regard, we deliberately bought 3 software patents, and prepared to use more than 70 workbenches, as well as more than 20 high-performance computers, to make the liquid robot he wants together." Stan Wins Suddenly sighed, "It took so much thought, so much money, and I don't know if I can pay it back."

"Hello, Stan, you are not kind." Cameron stared, "You go to see my movie, are you at a loss? I tell you, this idea is given by Jun Shao! You don't To make it well is to doubt Jun Shao ’s vision ... Of course, if it takes too much and the box office fails to meet the requirements, then it is not my business, because I am ready to show Jun Shao to the maximum. The effect to be shown! "

Yin Jun laughed, "It's expensive, it's my sin!"

"Isn't that right?" Cameron spread his hands shamelessly.

Gu Tianle was already fluent in English at this time, and he laughed when he heard the words.

"Our Guzai is very spiritual and fits our script very well." Cameron also pointed at Gu Tianle at this time. "Now you give him to me. After half a year of shooting time, you can return it. is you!"

If "Sixth Sense of Insanity" just makes Cameron feel that Gu Tianle is indeed qualified as a young leader of "Terminator 2", the big red "The Devil is the Home" makes him willing to let Gu Tianle star. .

As a commercial director ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The box office is still very important!

"Don't be so polite, you can also give him more pointers." Yin Jun said seemingly casual.

Cameron himself would not know how powerful he was for those actors.

If Gu Tianle gets his advice, even if he cannot become a talented actor like Tom Hanks in the future, it is more than enough to be a Johnny Depp.

Gu Tianle already knows that he will soon be the No. 2 male in the Cameron movie.

For director Cameron, he likes it very much.

Especially when I was looking for myself, it was actually a teenager who was the leader of the future rebels in Terminator 2, which is more appetizing for him.

Little kids, I always like the hot performance!

...

A glance passed in February, and I feel that the time is so fast. If the Chinese New Year holiday is a month, it would be better ^ _ ^
