China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

The big screen dimmed and the lights in the venue came on.

Immediately, thunderous applause broke out and lasted for a long time.

The plot of "Legend of the Little Soldier" is not complicated. It is that Tang Long mistakenly chose the private branch. In a training camp that has been inactive for 456 years, he received the most comprehensive, harshest and most effective recruit training, and then became cannon fodder by chance. " The story of a member of the "self-propelled naval gun" army, but relying on his keen sense of smell and military talent to defeat the enemy's forward troops and successfully return to the Federation.

But it is precisely because of this simple, direct and refreshing plot that the audience enjoys it very much.

After all, the online novel adapted from the script is a very enjoyable story.

It is said that when Jiang Heng watched "Legend of the Little Soldier" for the first time, he was really shocked by Tang Long's series of operations. The guests and audience at the venue had similar feelings.

Of course, what shocked the audience the most were the gorgeous, realistic and grand visual images.

The IMAX 3D version was played at the premiere. The xenon lamp brightness of the projector was adjusted to the highest level, and the viewing effect was better than that of ordinary theaters.

In addition, the "production cost" of the film is as high as 500 million, so every shot and every frame is done to the extreme.

The first feeling given to the audience is that of reality, as if what the audience is watching is not a movie, but a story that really happened in another time, space and universe through 3D glasses.

Especially the scene when Tang Long was training in the recruit training camp, both the military facilities inside and the various weapons that appeared in the film were all deduced by the "super microcomputer".

After all, the original novel did not describe these contents in too much detail.

And "deduction" means that there are certain principles for the existence of these things.

Therefore, when the audience watches it, they will subconsciously feel that the weapons in Wanluo Federation should look like that.

Unlike when watching "Black Panther", I don't feel that Wakanda is using the highest technology to fight the most primitive fight, which is full of contradictions.

In addition, the most exciting and unforgettable thing for the audience is naturally the super gorgeous space battle in the second half of the film.

First, the "Cold Energy Laser Light" killed 90% of the self-propelled gunboats, and then Tang Long made a desperate counterattack, destroying two thousand battleships of the Silver Eagle Empire.

These scenes were shot very grandly, brilliantly, realistically and shockingly...!

Many people subconsciously compare these pictures with "Avatar" and immediately come to a shocking conclusion, that is, they are completely surpassed, which is a bit scary.

However, Chen Kaitian's expression became dull after watching the movie.

Because he has watched the 3D version of "Havoc in Heaven" and "Avatar", and as a director with a very high level of professionalism, he can even tell the pros and cons of the film's rhythm, composition, and color.

Although Lao Chen is a bit awkward when making commercial movies, these are due to personality factors and he is really capable.

He really knows his stuff, so he understands more and more how difficult and good the film "Legend of the Little Soldier" is to make.

Just like when he later directed "Legend of the Demon Cat", the shot of Concubine Yang looking back and smiling happily, the first thought of ordinary viewers was that this shot is amazing and Concubine Yang is so beautiful.

But professional directors understand how difficult it is to light a scene like this.

At the end of the film, Chen Kaige even had the idea, why should I compete with him?

Yes, the two of them are incompatible.

Jiang Heng will never be able to make a literary and artistic film like "Farewell My Concubine", or in other words, within a few decades, there will not be any artistic film that surpasses this film.

And he will never be able to make a commercial movie like "Legend of the Little Soldier", and neither of them will ever be able to surpass the other's peak achievements.

Thinking about it this way, he will always be invincible!

The commercial films you make don't have a high box office, so what? I'm an artist!

Thinking of this, Chen Kaigan's mind suddenly broadened.

Chen Hong on the side felt that her husband's whole spirit had changed. Was he so stimulated?

But Chen Kaitian stood up and walked to Jiang Heng in a few steps. With a sincere smile on his face, he shook hands and said, "Congratulations, Director Jiang. This is an epoch-making great work. This will be a film that will surpass the "Star Wars" series. It will also be a film that surpasses "Avatar" at the box office. You are the pride of Chinese filmmakers!"

After saying that, he hugged and patted Jiang Heng on the back, showing off his big brother attitude.

Jiang Heng was stunned by Chen Kaiji's series of actions. What happened?

Irony?

But looking at his expressions and movements, he is very sincere!

The rest of the people on the side were also a little puzzled, but had no time to ponder these details, and all congratulated Jiang Heng without mentioning it.

This was followed by a brief interview session and then a reception dinner.

In the banquet hall of a five-star hotel not far from the Olympic Stadium, dozens of tables were set up to entertain the guests who came to attend the premiere.

Jiang Heng naturally sat with the group of people with the highest status and status, but no one felt slighted. After all, everyone in Vanity Fair was ranked equally according to status and status.

If you really want to put a third-tier actor at Jiang Heng's table, he will probably be uneasy and frightened.

The topic at Jiang Heng's table was naturally inseparable from "Legend of the Little Soldier". Some predicted that the global box office would surpass "Avatar", and some asked Jiang Heng how difficult it would be to shoot a film like this. If the cost was lower, how would the scenes in space look like? A little less is about right, right?

Everyone predicted that "Legend of the Little Soldier" was going to be a box office hit, and it was only human nature to follow suit.

Although it is extremely difficult to follow the trend of this film, there are still ways to do it.

Wang Jing, who was sitting at the bottom of the table, came up with an idea for "Little Soldier Chasing Girls".

He had already thought of the name of the male protagonist, Tang Xiaohu, who fell in love with the instructor's daughter after various training in the recruit camp after joining the army.

The two bad friends in the same class fell in love with the "senior sister". Adding more life scenes and jokes would greatly reduce the cost.

Finally, a shot of a space war was added. The three brothers made contributions in the war and each got a beautiful woman. Haha, perfect!

As for props, I will ask Jiang Heng if there is any leftover that can be lent to him.

If there are any useless film materials that were cut out of "Legend of the Little Soldier", especially those involving space and planets, it would save more money if he could use them.

Thinking of this, Wang Jing thought, why don't I just ask him for investment directly? Anyway, his iQiyi Films has plenty of money.

But when he thought of the investment cases that Jiang Heng had rejected in recent years, he was a little hesitant.

While thinking, he saw Yu Dong, who was in high spirits and stood up to toast.

Fatty Wang smiled and narrowed his eyes into a line, thinking, isn't this the candidate for cooperation?

The development of Bona Films to this day is not entirely the result of distributing Jiang Heng's films, but also because a large number of Hong Kong films were introduced to the mainland and distributed through Bona Films.

As one of the more prolific directors after the decline of Hong Kong films, Wang Jing has dealt with Yu Dong a lot, and the two have a very good relationship.
