Dreams of the Fragrant River

Chapter 2: zero】

Tseung Kwan O Studio City, Hong Kong branch of digital special effects company.

A computer was surrounded by people, and Kang Jianfei stood behind the computer operator, staring at the screen on the monitor.

The computer monitor is full of abstract lines, which represent the lines of the Hydra cypress rattan bending constantly, and the zombie played by Xiong Xinxin is also outlined with lines.

When the traditional film special effects are used to replace the characters, the actual shooting is generally made by "reversing the mold". Now it is in a transitional stage, with some lenses using traditional casting and others using new digital scanning technology.

The picture displayed on the computer in front of Kang Jianfei's eyes was captured by digital scanning technology, and the special effects personnel then used the computer post-production to make the original rough physical props come alive on the movie screen. Similarly, for example, the scene of the self-exposure of the corpse turtle in the back also needs to be digitally scanned and then made using computer special effects.

"The twisting of those vines should be made more bizarre and flexible," Kang Jianfei pointed at the monitor and put forward his own requirements, "How should I put it, let every branch feel like a living poisonous snake. ."

"ok, ok, I understand what you mean, boss." Kuhn Jerefer dragged the mouse and said.

The 42-year-old Kuhn Jerryver is the computer special effect expert that Kang Jianfei spent a lot of money dug from Industrial Light and Magic, and is now the team leader of the CG special effect team of "Tomb Notes".

If possible, Kang Jianfei would like to dig Dennis Murren, the pillar of Industrial Light and Magic, who is a frequent visitor to the Oscar and Saturn awards for best visual effects. After the 1980s, the "Star Wars" series, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, "Abyss" and other movies were all led by Dennis Mullen to produce computer special effects. The most critical part of the computer special effects in "Terminator 2" was also produced by He is in charge of finishing.

It's a pity that Dennis Murren is doing well at Industrial Light and Magic. People don't like Kang Jianfei's money. In the end, at the suggestion of Scott Ross, he personally gave Kuhn Jerryver to the digital realm.

Kuhn Jerryfer has been Dennis Mullen's assistant and has been involved in the post-production of most of Hollywood's special effects blockbusters in the past decade. This guy is undoubtedly a very capable man. It's a pity that his talent was overshadowed by Dennis Mullen's powerful halo. People only know that Industrial Light and Magic has Dennis Mullen. But few people know about Kuhn Jerryver's efforts and contributions in the field of computer special effects.

After Scott Ross waved a check and issued an invitation, Kuhn Jerefer only thought about it for two days before agreeing. He had been living in the shadow of Dennis Mullen before, perhaps because he wanted to prove his strength. This guy worked more than ten hours a day after coming to Hong Kong, and he was still in good spirits the next day. He was a model of hard-working employees.

After making his request, Kang Jianfei squeezed out of the crowd and went outside to breathe, perfecting the picture just now. The CG team will take at least two days, and he can only stare blankly there.

"Mr. Kang, how are the special effects in the later stage?" Zhang Dan did not know when he came behind Kang Jianfei.

"It's still early. If you're interested, I'll take you in to see it." Kang Jianfei said, but he was thinking about when Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui's movie theme song would be completed. Kang Jianfei was satisfied.

Zhang Dan followed Kang Jianfei into the room. Looking at the strange screen on the monitor, and the unawareness of the special effects staff, he exclaimed, "The technology in foreign countries is so advanced. You can even make movies with a computer."

In this era, home computers are still very few, and the main buyers of personal computers are still companies and institutions. Computers are really high-tech in the eyes of ordinary people, not to mention the use of computers for post-production special effects in movies.

What Kang Jianfei is worried about is that after the rise of Hollywood special effects blockbusters a few years later, the kind of terrorist offensive that has swept the world, it seems that overnight the world's film market has been occupied by American blockbusters, and Hong Kong is no exception.

Hong Kong counterparts are obviously still content with the status quo of dumping Hong Kong films to East Asian countries. Now, as long as they use the banner of Hong Kong films and Hong Kong stars, the films will sell for money no matter how bad they are. As a result, many directors are now keen to be quick shooters. From writing the script to finishing the post, they can make a movie in less than a month to make money.

Such as Wang Jing this guy. He only does one movie a year at DreamWorks, but he does five or six for other companies. The pictures taken for DreamWorks are of course fine. And the other five or six movies are undoubtedly bad movies, anyway, as long as he can earn the director's salary, he will be satisfied. Wang Jing, who is famous or something, doesn't care at all.

Now the output of Hong Kong films is rising every year, but the overall quality has begun to decline sharply. Once a certain movie sells, its successful plots and routines will be analyzed and referenced by other directors, and then countless follow-up works will be produced in batches. Many directors who were originally very talented have gradually become mediocre in a pipeline of works.

Once the Hollywood special effects blockbuster hits, with the current attitude of most Hong Kong filmmakers, how can they resist it?

Of course, Kang Jianfei doesn't want to worry about the life and death of other film companies, but if a large number of Hong Kong film companies go bankrupt, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Hong Kong film industry.

"I hope Jiahe and Vientiane can hold on." Kang Jianfei sighed like he was talking to himself.

Among the many film companies in Hong Kong, only Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe and Huang Baiming's Vientiane Pictures can get into Kang Jianfei's eyes. Zou Wenhuai has always had a keen international vision, while Huang Baiming (including the Xinyicheng era) is a comedy line that adheres to the combination of foreign and local, both of which have made great contributions to the development of overseas markets for Hong Kong films.

As for other companies, they are nothing more than money-making machines in the tide of Hong Kong films. There may also be companies or directors for cinematic art, but that won't help in resisting Hollywood's future blockbuster offensive.

Zhang Dan could hear Kang Jianfei's whispers clearly, but he didn't understand why he was worried about Jiahe and Vientiane, who were rivals of DreamWorks.

Kang Jianfei is not someone who complains about himself every day. Anxieties and worries can only stay in his mind for a few minutes. In a blink of an eye, he said to Zhang Dan with a smile, "Didn't you ask me for something?"

"Oops, I forgot the script at home," Zhang Yan said with a remorseful expression, then looked at Kang Jianfei with a dazed look, "Mr. Kang, why don't you come to my house and sit down, can you help me see if the script fits? Suitable."

"Okay, I happen to be free today." Kang Jianfei agreed with a smile.

In order to avoid suspicion, the two of them split up again and came to Zhang Yan's house one after the other.

Zhang Dan pretended to take out a script, and Kang Jianfei glanced at it. It was an old-fashioned urban romantic comedy. He asked, "What is the salary that Yongsheng Company promised you?"

"350,000." Zhang Dan said.

Kang Jianfei shook his head: "Rejecting the other party, 350,000 is too little."

What asked Kang Jianfei to help read the script was just an excuse for Zhang Dan to seduce him. Zhang Dan had already decided to take this film. But after hearing what Kang Jianfei said, Zhang Dan was surprised: "350,000 is a lot. This is a relatively high price among second-tier actresses."

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "You don't have a single work that has been released yet. Why did Yongsheng invite you to be the heroine?"

Zhang Dan complimented: "Of course it's because of you, Mr. Kang, but there is a saying in the circle now, 'If you become a flying girl, your salary will increase greatly'."

"Do you think that after the release of "The Tomb Raiders", your salary is only 350,000 yuan?" Kang Jianfei asked back.

"But Yongsheng was opened by Xiangjia, will it be troublesome to refuse their film invitation?" Zhang Dan still didn't want to give up the film. In fact, she was interested in the salary of 350,000 yuan. It is certain that her salary will increase in the future, but "Notes of the Tomb Raiders" will not be released until a few days before the Spring Festival. If Zhang Dan accepts this drama, at the current filming speed, it can be almost finished by the Spring Festival, and "Notes of the Tomb Raiders" will be completed after the Spring Festival. When it was released, she had already earned the 350,000 yuan, so why not do it?

Based on the brokerage contract Zhang Dan has signed with the company now, after the 350,000 film remuneration is deducted from tax, she can probably get more than 130,000 yuan, which is a huge sum of money for Zhang Dan, who is used to being poor.

Kang Jianfei looked at Zhang Dan's reluctant expression, and after a second thought, he understood. He smiled and said, "You can take it as you go. Although this script is old-fashioned, it shouldn't be too bad."

Zhang Dan was relieved, for fear that Kang Jianfei would let her give up the movie. Zhang Dan, who didn't want to talk about the script any more, went straight to the whole. He glanced at Kang Jianfei shyly, and said, "Mr. Kang, why don't you continue to teach me how to act, I think my acting skills are pretty average."

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "Then what should I teach you?"

Zhang Dan bit his lip~lightnovelpub.net~ looked at Kang Jianfei shyly and said, "Just continue teaching me how to act in a kissing scene. Last time in a hotel in Beijing, people just realized that you were caught by a The phone is gone."

Kang Jianfei said with a serious face: "It seems that you are still very motivated, then I will pass on my experience of shooting kiss scenes to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Kang." Zhang Dan said gratefully.

Kang Jianfei coughed and corrected: "As an actor, you should enter the state at any time. Now we are playing a pair of lovers. You should call me Fei brother."

"Well, Brother Fei!" Zhang Dan's voice was soft and tender, a pair of jade hands were already on Kang Jianfei's shoulders, his small face was slightly raised, and those attractive red lips were waiting for the man to taste.

It was winter at this time. Kang Jianfei thought that Zhang Dan was wearing too many clothes. While hugging the beauty in his arms, his other hand had already unbuttoned her jacket very skillfully. He lowered his head and bit his delicate little mouth, prying open his jaws and savagely tasting it. The taste of the clove tongue was soft, sweet and delicious. (To be continued)()
