Chapter 814 I will be back!

  The five performances in Los Angeles finally came to a successful conclusion. The consulate also held a special banquet to celebrate the success of all the cast and crew.

  They had already passed the news to the embassy, ​​and then the embassy sent it back to the country, and they also received instructions from the country, so there was this celebration banquet.

   All parties are very satisfied with the performance of the Heart to Heart Art Troupe that exceeded expectations.

   As for the next stop, of course it is the Big Apple, where three performances have been booked.

   There was a three-day short break in the middle, and I happened to have a good time in Los Angeles.

   Going to the beach this month is not very interesting, so Liu Qingshan will lead everyone to visit Hollywood first.

  When you come to Hollywood, of course you must visit the Avenue of Stars. These singers under the big tree are also very excited.

   "If only I could have my own star here, too."

  The words of the little stool express the inner thoughts of most people.

   "Then you have to strive for the multi-habitation development of film and television songs." Liu Qingshan patted her little head with a smile.

  The little stool shook his head: "Forget it, I'll be satisfied if I can sing well."

  Look at these people under Liu Qingshan, it is true that they have developed in the music world, but for acting in movies, let’s forget it, only Huanzi and Uncle Teng, unless they are acting in comedies.

   Coming to Hollywood, another wish of everyone is to see how other people make movies.

  This is also easy to handle. Hollywood has a special studio, which is open to tourists, and you can learn about movies and some special effects shooting.

  So Liu Qingshan asked everyone to sign up for the "Cinema Tour", and watched a group of people set off on the tram, while he rushed to the set of The Matrix.

  At present, the main plot of this movie has been filmed and post-production is in progress.

  The studio is also a busy scene. The director, editor, dubbing and soundtrack, etc. are all busy with the work at hand.

   Only Xiao Li was alone, playing computer leisurely there, playing a small game that Liu Qingshan couldn't name.

  The game screen is rough and very simple, but Xiao Li plays it with gusto, Liu Qingshan can't help but feel contemptuous.

  The two major investors of this movie have gathered together today.

  Xiao Li still shows up occasionally, and Liu Qingshan is the first time to come to the film crew. If Liu Qingshan is not famous in this country, he might be kicked out as a passerby.

  Shake hands with the director, producer, etc., just in time for the first screening of the sample, and everyone sat in the small screening room to watch.

  The directors are still the original Wachowski brothers. They are still very satisfied with this film, and they also complimented Liu Qingshan.

  After all, Liu Qingshan is not only the investor, but also the main screenwriter of this movie.

   Needless to say about the plot, it’s a very novel setting. In terms of action design, Long Ge’s team was hired, which is quite different from the original Hollywood fighting.

  Brother Long's performance in it is also very brilliant, and Neo and other leading actors also have distinctive characteristics.

  When the screening was over, both the director and the producer were all smiling, obviously very satisfied.

   It was also the first time for Xiao Li to watch the film, and he was also very excited: "Oh, it's great, the fighting plot is so cool!"

  While talking, he also gestured and drew, but he didn't hang a wire, so of course he couldn't achieve the effect in the movie.

  Besides, this guy spends his days drinking and drinking, and his foundation is a little empty. When he kicked up one kick, he kicked a little high, and the other leg couldn't support it, so he leaned back.

   It is estimated that the back of the head should have a close contact with the ground.

  Amidst Xiao Li's exclamation, he suddenly stretched out a foot and gently placed it on Xiao Li's back.

   It was Liu Qingshan who acted in time to avoid Xiao Li's embarrassment.

  Seeing Liu Qingshan flicked his feet lightly, Xiao Li immediately stood up straight, and then looked at Liu Qingshan in disbelief: "Oh, Liu, you should be the leading actor in this play."

   "Wonderful!" The director brothers and others applauded straight away. This is really not flattery, just like them, they didn't react at all just now.

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand and asked, "What do you think of this movie?"

   "Very good, the box office is at least 200 million." Xiao Li was very optimistic.

  The director brothers also nodded, and seemed to agree with it.

  Liu Qingshan asked rhetorically: "Then how much is our investment?"

  Xiao Li blinked: "The total investment is about 150 million."

   After speaking, he also understood a little bit. If he calculates this way, he may have to lose money.

   After all, the box office needs to be divided among multiple accounts. Theaters, distributors, etc. all have to divide the money. It is not bad for their investors to get half of it in the end.

  Even if audio-visual products are sold, plus overseas distribution or something, if the box office is 200 million, then at most it can protect its capital.

   "Liu, what do you think?"

  Xiao Li can only ask Liu Qingshan for advice. He believes in Liu Qingshan's vision and ability to solve problems.

  No one underestimates Liu Qingshan among the director brothers and producers. Everyone is an insider, and they all know Liu Qingshan's deeds.

   Not to mention anything else, the two films in Home Alone, combined, have a box office of over 500 million, which is not something ordinary people can do.

  The Hurricane Video and Video Company, which was originally unknown, was about to go bankrupt, and thus got out of the predicament, and its valuation increased significantly.

  People who can make such achievements are of course not movie idiots, or even production and creative masters, so everyone also wants to hear Liu Qingshan's opinions.

  Liu Qingshan nodded towards the people: "It is undeniable that this is a movie above the standard, thank you for your hard work."

  This must be made clear first, otherwise it will come up with a lot of faults, and the efforts of others will not be in vain. Even if they don’t say it, they will not be happy in their hearts.

   "But I want to make a comparison with everyone. How about comparing it with the Terminator?" Liu Qingshan then asked another question.

  People shook their heads after thinking about it for a moment: Although they thought this movie was not bad, it was definitely inferior to The Terminator.

  The fact is so, it is impossible to deny it.

  Liu Qingshan continued to ask: "Then everyone has thought about it, where is the main gap?"

   Obviously no one had considered this question, and everyone began to think seriously.

   After a long while, the elder brother of the director brothers said: "I think there is still a lack of shocking shots like in Terminator."

  Especially an action movie, if it doesn't have a wonderful scene that can be remembered by the audience, it will definitely not be considered a success.

  Often when the audience talks about a certain film, what they talk about the most is the one or two most exciting scenes in it.

  Just like in Terminator, when T-800 appeared on the stage, thunder billowed. When the smoke dissipated, T-800 appeared naked and kneeling down. The scene was quite shocking.

   There is also the classic I-will-be-back, telling the audience: I will come back!

   And now this The Matrix obviously lacks such a hot spot.

  After listening to it, other people also nodded their heads in praise. This is like a song, the overall standard is good, but there is no climax part of the song, so it always feels a little bit weak.

  Liu Qingshan snapped his fingers: "OK, what we need to do now is how to solve this problem."

   "We need a classic shot that the audience will always talk about when discussing this film in the future, which is the soul of this film."

  Everyone is also getting excited. If this can be done, then the box office may be doubled again.

  But everyone calmed down very quickly. After a year and a half of filming, everyone in every position did their best.

  If there is a better idea, it would have been researched long ago.

  So at the end, everyone's eyes were on Liu Qingshan.

   Liu Qingshan asked the editor to rewind the sample, and found a clip, which is a scene where the protagonists shoot each other with guns. Both sides can avoid each other's bullets, and the shooting is already very cool.

   "It's right here." Waiting for the picture to freeze, Liu Qingshan pointed to the screen:

   "Can you add a special effect, when the protagonist is dodging the bullet, the trajectory of the bullet will be displayed on the screen, just like this."

He asked someone to find a piece of paper, and drew a simple sketch. The protagonist leaned back on an iron bridge, and the bullet was shot from the muzzle of his opponent, with a spiral trajectory, shooting all the way, and then passing over the protagonist's nose. .

  Liu Qingshan looked at this piece of paper: "We can call this stunt bullet time, if we can make it, then it will become an eternal classic in this movie."

   "Bullet time, this name is so cool." Xiao Li turned around excitedly, and then remembered something:

   "However, making movies is not drawing comics. Such shots cannot be captured at all."

  Even Xiao Li, an amateur, knows the difficulties, let alone directing experts, everyone is happy and worried.

  Happily, this is definitely a classic idea.

  The worry is that there is no way to achieve it, just like a beggar who sees the delicious food in the window and can see it but not eat it.

   "If there is no difficulty, how to create a classic?"

   Liu Qingshan's eyes were piercing, and everyone in the team looked at each other.

  Everyone was also aroused by him, and Xiao Li also punched his fist hard to show his determination: "This lens is worth 10 million yuan, and we will pay for it!"

  The director brothers even waved their fists: "Yes, we must shoot bullet time!"

  As directors, they certainly hope that the film will be a greater success.

   Seeing that everyone's energy was mobilized, Liu Qingshan said:

   "Theoretically, I think it can be achieved. When I was in college at UCLA, I took photography as an elective."

  UCLA is also very famous because of Hollywood.

Everyone listened carefully to Liu Qingshan's speech: "This is when I was listening to a professor's lecture, I was inspired. If we place 120 cameras precisely on a route set by the computer tracking system superior."

   "Then let the shutter of the camera take pictures at intervals according to the sequence and time pre-programmed by the computer."

   "Finally, all the photos taken from various angles are scanned into the computer, and the computer will perform virtual repairs on the differences between two adjacent photos."

  “In this way, we may be able to get a coherent and smooth movement, and then composite it at the end. It is very likely to shoot the bullet time we want.”

  Liu Qingshan finished his vision in one breath, which he learned later on the Internet, hoping to inspire the director brothers.

   "Sounds good, but we still need a few computer experts." The leader of the special effects production team was the first to express his opinion.

  He also seemed more excited. Based on his feeling, he felt that it might be possible.

  Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile: "This is not a problem, don't forget, I also have a Earth Network, and Wang An Computer Company, there are many experts, I will call now, I have a very good classmate."

   There was a burst of cheers in the room, and the most excited one was the director brothers.

  If this design can really be completed, it will be a unique creation in the entire film history, and they may also be included in the film history because of this bullet time.

   "I've done it, I want money for money, and people for people." Xiao Li also made up his mind, and no matter what his considerations were, he had no reason to refuse.

   Just thinking about how cool this special effect is, it is absolutely amazing.

  Everyone quickly unanimously agreed that this set of shots doesn’t even need to find the leading actor to reshoot, as long as the bullet time is shot and then synthesized by the computer.

  Liu Qingshan also quickly called Yu Miao: "Old classmate, there is something I need your help with."

   After chatting for a while, it turned out that Yu Miao and Jiang Renyi were also at Wang An Computer Headquarters together.

  After listening to Liu Qingshan's description, Yu Miao also expressed his interest and immediately led the team over.

   "Then please, everyone, I'm leaving Los Angeles tomorrow, wish us success!" Liu Qingshan and the people present hugged one by one.

  The original Matrix would not be filmed until several years later. At that time, computer stunts were relatively mature, so the difficulty of filming was much less.

   The result was advanced by Liu Qingshan by several years, and it is not known whether the technology can meet the requirements. If the shooting is a four-dimensional image, it will be worthless.

   "We will succeed!"

  The director brothers issued their own vows, and everyone looked at Liu Qingshan with eagerness and relief.

  Everyone watched Liu Qingshan leave, and everyone's heart was full of passion: it was Liu Qingshan's arrival that brought new hope to the crew, and of course it was also a new challenge.

   But challenges also represent opportunities, and now each of them is extremely eager to succeed.

   After Liu Qingshan gathered the singers under the big tree and had lunch together, he reluctantly left Hollywood.

  This is Vanity Fair, but it is also the place where many people's dreams come true.

  The next day, Liu Qingshan led the Heart to Heart Art Troupe and set off for the Big Apple City to continue their peaceful journey.

   And Yu Miao also led a small team to Los Angeles to devote themselves to the research and design of bullet time.

  At the same time, the fourth and fifth children who went to school in the capital of China finally ushered in the summer vacation.

  The two little guys had good final grades, and Shan Xing ranked first in the entire grade group.

  Xiao Lao Si is slightly inferior, ranking third. The main reason is that she is a little less meticulous than Shan Xing.

  The family members have already completed the formalities for going abroad, and they are just waiting for the two of them to go on vacation.

   This time, even the old hater and uncle went abroad together, only Li Tieniu and his wife, because Xiaocui had just given birth, so they were unable to travel.

  Xiao Cui picked up a fat boy, and her natal mother took care of the confinement child.

   Li Tieniu was so happy, when he washed his diaper, he grinned...
