To put it bluntly, "Mad Max Furious Road" is still quite Hollywood.

Although this movie will be very manic and irritable, and will go all the way to the end.

But in fact, in the final analysis, this is still a commercial movie!

For example, "Mad Max: The Furious Road", it actually includes Ferosa's settings, world background, environment settings, etc., as well as plot settings. These settings are also in line with the usual paths of Hollywood movies. In Hollywood movies, the future is either a good mess or a madness that turns into the end of the day.

"Mad Max Furious Road" is obviously the latter.

But the same is not separated from the core of Hollywood movies, that is, the theme of the movie is definitely not a dark cult, but a rush to freedom!

Of course, this movie cannot start filming immediately, there are still many things to prepare.

The literary scenes in this film are almost too few to be ignored, and all the preliminary work is almost always preparing for action scenes.

After gaining Wang Yifan's approval, various prop cars quickly moved to the modification stage, but the huge amount of more than 150 vehicles is not something that can be completed in the short term. In this regard, Wang Yifan also left enough time for the prop group and other departments. Of course, he also wanted to shoot it as soon as possible, but some things were unhurried.

In fact, most of the time, many science fiction special effects blockbusters use cg special effects and cg special effects, which often consumes more money, but it does not mean that the shooting of "Crazy Max: The Road of Furious" is easier.

On the contrary, because many special effects require real-life shooting, such a movie is much more complicated to shoot than those green screen videos.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is two directions.

Special effects movies can always be divided into two aspects. One aspect is to focus on real-life shooting. Real-life shooting has more complex requirements for the shooting, so the shooting time is often longer. But similarly, compared to the CG special effects, green screen shooting is much simpler, but the CG special effects are cost-effective and time-consuming.

One is that it takes more time when shooting, and the other is that it takes more time when doing special effects. It is difficult for you to tell which one is better and which one is worse.

For the movie "Mad Max: The Furious Road", the cg special effects are difficult to achieve the effect Wang Yifan wants. And if the cg special effects are really used to make this movie, the funds consumed will definitely be astronomical.

Because "Mad Max: The Furious Road" can be said to be full of excitement from beginning to end, and it is burning. If all of these are done with CG special effects, Wang Yifan dare not imagine how much money it will cost.

It is undeniable that the mainstream special effects nowadays are actually CG special effects, but compared to on-site shooting, the cg special effects that are outstanding are often more expensive.

As we all know, making movie CG special effects is a very expensive thing, but specifically, where is the money spent? How much does a movie cost to produce satisfactory special effects?

There are many places that cost money to make movie special effects, and the largest proportion is labor costs. Large productions like this, with post-production often use teams of hundreds of people.

Some people may say that the labor cost in China is lower, so why not use the special effects company in China to do it?

Don’t Wang Yifan want to? Of course not. In fact, this movie itself has participated in the Aurora Special Effects Company in China, but the labor cost here is not something that anyone can do, because a lot of labor is technical.

In China, after all, the development in this area is still relatively backward. It is not only technology but also talent!

In Hollywood, many major investment movie special effects are handled by more than ten or even more than twenty special effects companies and studios. Many are animators, synthesisers, etc. with many years of work experience, and their salaries will definitely not be low.

At the same time, the production cycle of a considerable number of films can last up to several years, so the expenses are naturally indispensable.

To put it simply, good special effects are piled up with money.

Not only that, because the special effects are made by computers, and the configuration of these computers is also professional-grade. Such computers are not cheap in themselves. In addition, computers that make special effects need to be updated at any time.

This alone costs tens of millions of dollars every year.

Because special effects are often not one or two computers, not one or two hundred computers, but thousands of computers.

Even some special effects need to be used in supercomputers!

Therefore, making special effects is really a burning money. Not only does it burn money manually, but also machines and equipment.

This is also why, every year, special effects companies go bankrupt and winners take all.

Because top special effects companies do not lack orders, they can constantly develop new software and stand at the top of technology.

And these software, other special effects companies, cannot develop them from scratch, because the cost is definitely higher, so most of the time, they will buy these software.

Such a top-level special effects company can develop new technologies and sell them with old technologies at the same time, but other special effects companies cannot do it.

Not only is the movie expensive to make special effects, but in fact, the operating costs of special effects companies are also very high. Without continuous order support, it is easy to make the special effects company bankrupt!

This is also why many special effects companies suddenly collapsed overnight, because some large orders require them to purchase more equipment and recruit more labor. However, when the large orders are over and their equipment needs to be updated, then at this time, if no new orders appear, they will definitely not be able to afford the cost.

There is a very interesting thing in the special effects industry. If you want to achieve 80% of the quality in your mind, 20% of the capital and time may be enough, but often the 20% of the quality in the end will take 80% of the time and money!

This is why, you will find that many movies seem to be different, but the cost is a huge difference.

Because the last 20% effect is the most expensive!

It can be said that shooting only takes up a very short film production cycle. Even people like Wang Yifan who can cheat have to spend several times the time in pre-preparation and post-production. Sometimes he also wants to know how the legendary directors' films that do not need to participate in pre-preparation and post-production are successful?

In fact, many domestic celebrities and film companies know about Wang Yifan's new movies.

But this time, Wang Yifan went abroad again.

Earlier, when I was filming "Midnight Bell" in the island country, it was a little better, after all, the island country is also an Asian country.

But this time, I went to Hollywood to shoot movies. Most of the teams are also Hollywood, and the characters are also Hollywood stars.
