337. Silicone?
To put it bluntly, the drama "Luoyang Galan Rain" doesn't have so many things to be sophisticated.
Although this is related to historical allusions, in fact, the story has changed a long time ago.
This drama is not difficult to film in most places, but the only war drama is the most troublesome part of this drama.
Controlling the shooting of hundreds or even thousands of people is not a simple task.
Even if there were well-trained military help, these group scenes and war scenes still made Wang Yifan busy for more than a month.
When watching a movie, when I see the war scenes in the play, the first thing I see is the long-term view and the scenes of the confrontation between the army.
The second is to look at the details, the details of the battle between the two armies, and the third is to look at the costumes and prophecy.
As we all know, group dramas are always the most difficult to shoot. The more people, the more details there will be. Even if you don’t want to stand out, you will not make any mistakes in a glance. Otherwise, this shot will not be used.
However, compared to Wang Yifan's movies that have been filmed for more than two months, Xu Cang's movies seem to be more troublesome.
In "The Story of Silk", there is actually no problem with the male and female protagonists. It is much easier to find than Wang Yifan. The trouble lies in the props.
Especially, the puppet who plays with silk.
Wang Yifan has visited the special effects company commissioned by Xu Cang before, and designed several versions, but none of them satisfactory.
In fact, the biggest problem is that even Xu Cang himself is a little uncertain about what kind of puppet he wants.
The same was true for Wang Yifan. He was so anxious that he was asked by Xu Cang, so he felt like he was following him.
Then, the people who suffered from the Aurora Special Effects were hurt.
Now, they designed another one, and Xu Cang called Wang Yifan and wanted the author Wang Yifan to see if it was in line with the puppet man in his mind who could make the performers of silk-slim dramas obsessed with it.
Aurora Special Effects are actually quite technical among special effects companies in China.
The main reason is that several shareholders of Aurora Special Effects are from several giants, so they can be said to be special effects companies built with large productions.
In terms of ability, perhaps Aurora special effects are not as good as Hollywood's top special effects companies in some technical aspects, but most of the effects can actually be achieved by Aurora special effects.
Just like Chen Hang's previous science fiction movies and Yang Long's movies, most of the special effects are completed by aurora special effects.
Chen Hang was ambitious this time and wanted to surpass Yang Long, so he chose to go abroad to find top special effects companies to cooperate with.
Special effects is not to say that the strength of domestic special effects technicians is worse than that of foreign top special effects companies. The reason why there is a technical gap is mainly because studying special effects technology does not necessarily depend on the brain, but on money, manpower and material resources.
Why did Hollywood's special effects companies become the world's top?
The main reason is that they have a huge market, and the current market capacity of China is definitely difficult to compare with North America.
For example, in China, the production cost of 100 million US dollars is already a super big production, but in Hollywood, 100 million can only be said to be the initial stage of blockbusters.
At the door of Aurora Special Effects Company, Wang Yifan saw Xu Cang.
"Why are you waiting here?" Wang Yifan asked with some amusement.
"Aren't I worried about being disappointed again?" Xu Cang said with a wry smile.
"Let's go and have a look, don't overestimate it. After all, it's hard to cook without rice. You can't explain what kind of effect model you want. How can you give you satisfactory answers?" Wang Yifan stood up and said without a pain in his back.
Xu Cang couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart and said, "It seems that you are the screenwriter of this film. You should have a better say than me."
"Haha, you are the director, you know, this is your movie, I don't mean to intervene." Wang Yifan hurriedly left it clear.
"Director Wang, Director Xu, you are here!" A middle-aged man in his thirties greeted him with a wry smile.
Wang Yifan and Xu Cang were both a little embarrassed.
"Let's go and see the latest design results." Meng Fei hurriedly held Xu Cang's hand and said.
When they entered the model design studio of Aurora Special Effects, Wang Yifan and Xu Cang were both a little surprised because this time, Aurora Special Effects directly made samples of the models, not just designs.
But Wang Yifan and Xu Cang both frowned because...
The model in front of them made both of them have some not very healthy ideas.
"Is this the only one?" Xu Cang asked with a cough twice.
"Isn't this that one? What I asked you to design a puppet model for the puppet show, but you didn't want you to make this kind of silicone doll." Xu Cang finally couldn't help but point to the lifelike legendary rubber doll.
Because this is so shameful!
"Ahem, Director Xu, you misunderstood. This, this is not." Chen Fangyuan, the design director in charge of designing the model, said with an awkward look on his face.
"Ah? No? Then this..." Xu Cang was also a little embarrassed and a little confused.
"Ahem, we bought this from the island country for reference, and this is not an ordinary silicone inflatable doll. This is the latest imitation girlfriend robot from the island country! We changed the clothes, cough!" Chen Fangyuan coughed twice and explained.
Not to mention, island countries may not work. For example, movies are generally typical for self-entertainment. Well, most domestic movies are actually self-entertainment.
However, the island country is really unique in Chengren Toys, probably because there are too many otakus and women, or because this is a magical country.
Anyway, this simulated girlfriend robot, putting aside other factors, um, it does give people a feeling of a real person.
"Ahem, Director Xu, this is our latest design." Chen Fangyuan said, pressing the switch of the remote control in his hand.
Then, Wang Yifan and the others saw a 3D projector, showing a simulated human model.
"According to Director Xu's requirements, we will use imitation wood materials to make this model. However, because Director Xu said that the model cannot be too big, because the puppet master needs to carry it with him, and in the video, we will add color to the puppets, so we designed a modular puppet model..." Chen Fangyuan explained.
"Because it is a puppet and has wooden material characteristics, we designed moderate mechanization in terms of connection, and of course it can also adjust, low mechanization, and the flexibility of the simulated person." Chen Fangyuan continued to explain.
But Xu Cang still frowned slightly.
"What do you think?" Xu Cang looked at Wang Yifan with some uncertainty.
This is really something that has been delayed for too long.
"How do you say it? Still don't feel right!"
"But, actually, I think we are trapped in a misunderstanding?" Wang Yifan suddenly added.
