I’ll Add Points To All Things

The technicians that Su Yang poached from other companies are actually capable. Otherwise, there are so many special effects in "Wolf Warrior".

However, their strength can only be regarded as mediocre. Even with Su Yang leading them, they are at most at the second-tier domestic level, not even the first-tier. Su Yang needed to do all the key things by himself.

This is not enough for Su Yang who now has the [ultimate film and television post-production ability].

Coupled with the fact that Su Yang now has a [Automatic Special Effects Production Server] at the same level as him, their role is even smaller.

But Su Yang didn't cross the river to demolish the bridge and fire them, but discussed to make them transform, from being in charge of all special effects to being the main special effects designer.

This is actually equivalent to cutting their workload in half, which is a good thing for them. But... people are competitive.

Although Su Yang didn't say it clearly, asking them to only do the special effects design in the early stage, and hand over the rest of the special effects rendering to another team, obviously looked down on their level. So the special effects personnel in the company felt uncomfortable.

They think that their strength is actually very good, and they have been improving all the time. They are completely qualified for the special effects of "Wandering Planet" and can reach the level that Su Yang is satisfied with. They hope that Su Yang can give themselves a chance.

Su Yang couldn't resist this group of stubborn technical nerds, so he had to agree.

So the two sides decided to have a competition:

The special effects team of the film and television company and "Su Yang's other special effects team" each made a special effects clip of "The Wandering Earth", and then competed to see who had the best special effects, and finally let Su Yang and Guo Fan decide which clip to use, and whoever would win.

Because of this fragment agreement, the group of technical geeks from the film and television company worked hard, thinking that they could win.

Su Yang's other team... well, it's himself, but actually there isn't much pressure. With more and more virtual servers, he tried to make more and more special effect demos, and Su Yang's understanding of his own technology became more and more comprehensive.

For the first time, he knew... So he is so awesome!

Sometimes he himself is surprised that "he" can make such excellent special effects.

So he also chose a very simple, but very technical special effects clip, ready to represent "another team" and compete with the company's technical nerds.

Even... even explaining afterwards which team made the clip,

Su Yang was ready.

He tried his best to get through this incident perfectly, and then get the film production of "Wandering Planet" on track.

The day of the competition came soon. On that day, all the production staff of the film and television company came to the company early.

One by one, they changed into neat...plaid shirts, and then combed their few hairs, waiting for Su Yang's arrival.

While waiting, several active special effects personnel were chatting quietly there,

"Do you think we can win?"

"have no idea..."

"I think it should be enough..."

Special effects personnel are actually a kind of technician, but the technician is coding the code, and they are coding the "hairs" one by one.

It’s really wearing hairs one by one, because when they do special effects, they need to render the hairs frame by frame, and finally form a vivid character or animal.

For example, when a special effects artist makes a wolf, he needs to design the direction of its hair when it is moving, and the direction of its hair when it is still. These must be calculated by combining fluid mechanics, and then rendered frame by frame come out.

In the end, all the hair, limbs, and eyes make up a wolf and condense into a lens.

The level of boring and tedious work can even drive a technician crazy.

Therefore, most of the people who can be special effects producers are also nerds: only those who live in nerds can endure loneliness.

The minds of nerds are relatively simple, they are not used to lying, they think that one is one and two is two.

Their domestic strength is pretty good, but they are nothing compared to Su Yang.

But now Su Yang decided to use another team for special effects. They also knew in their hearts that if Su Yang was not 100% sure that the other party was better than them, he would definitely not have made such a decision.

So even though their competitive spirit made them make this competition, they had no idea at all.

"Which team do you think Mr. Su is looking for? There shouldn't be many better than ours in China, right? I haven't heard that they have taken jobs?"

"I have no idea."

"Why don't you know anything?"

"Then you know, tell me."

"I don't know either. But I know we have to be ambitious. We can't be looked down upon by Mr. Su. Mr. Su has trained us for so long, and we have encountered such a big project. If we are left behind, we will regret it for life."

What this special effects person said was the voice of everyone. Everyone is not a fool. When I first watched the project "The Wandering Earth", I felt that the project was too big. Big ones... barely finished.

But later, when Guo Fan came with realistic props, they made special effects lens designs one by one, and even after the first special effects demo, they gradually gained confidence.

It is believed that this project has a good chance of success.

This is a domestic sci-fi masterpiece shot entirely with special effects! It is said that Mr. Su invested a full 500 million yuan!

Five hundred million! The current domestic film box office champion "Tai囧" is only 1.2 billion!

It's equivalent to losing money if you don't exceed "Tai囧"!

What an ambition!

This is a film destined to be engraved in the history of Chinese film.

There wasn't a special effects guy who didn't want to be involved.

That's why they are so competitive.

While several people were discussing, the vice president of the film and television company and the original director of the special effects department also came to the company. He came with the current head of the technical team. The two walked into the company while chatting relaxedly.

The employee who has a good relationship with the two couldn't help asking, "Mr. Fang, today is the day to bet with Mr. Su. Why are you so relaxed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Fang couldn't help but said with a smile, "It's because today is the day for betting, that's why I'm happy. Let me tell you, we might really win this time!"

The employee was surprised, "Really?"

Mr. Fang nodded, "Of course it's true. You can see it then."

With that said, Mr. Fang and the person in charge of the technical team went to the office, not knowing what to do.

The few active technical geeks started to discuss again,

"Is our President Fang under too much pressure recently?"

"I feel the same way. He recently lost several hairs for the final material synthesis."

"I was the last to leave last night. Before leaving, I saw him drinking in the office and not eating."

"He looks like he hasn't eaten."

While they were chatting, Su Yang and Guo Fan also came.

As soon as they entered the company, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone couldn't help looking at the two of them. The few active special effects crews stopped talking and just looked at Su Yang and Guo Fan secretly.

Su Yang and Guo Fan looked at each other and smiled, knowing that today is very important for these special effects personnel.

But Su Yang thought more. He was sympathizing with the group of technicians in his company.

They don't even know who they are competing with.

And... I am both a player and a referee. How do they win?

Everyone arrived, so everyone packed up and went to the screening room together to watch the videos of the two "teams".

The first one to be screened was a video made by the special effects team of Jiadian Pictures.

Before the broadcast, Mr. Fang, the person in charge of the project, came up to explain. He said to the people below, "Mr. Su, Director Guo, the special effects clip our team made this time is in the movie "Wandering Planet". I think the design One of the best special effects clips ever."

"That's the special effect shot of the hero and heroine coming to the surface of the earth for the first time and seeing [Turn the propeller]."

"When we designed this special effect, we first made the basic concept setting, and made all the 13-second clips with 3D models, and then worked with the company's prop artist and Director Guo to make [turning forward] device], [planetary thruster], and even a miniature model of the earth.”

"Then shoot the entire special effects shot first, then render layer by layer material particles, and finally form this group of special effect demos."

As soon as he finished speaking, the active special effects personnel in the company exploded. They discussed in a low voice,

"The prop master actually made the miniature model?"

"No wonder Fang always said that he is likely to win! Having a model and not having a model are not the same thing!"

"Is this considered invincible?"

"How could it be? The production of props is also part of the special effects."

They were surprised, and other people in the company were also surprised. Apparently, Mr. Fang has kept this matter from everyone. Only some employees who participated in the modeling or final composite rendering knew about it.

And those who are in charge of these two pieces of content are also enjoying the envious and surprised gazes of other people in the company at this time, each of them straightened their chests with smug faces.

They are still very proud of being able to become a killer level existence at this critical moment.

After Mr. Fang finished explaining, he took out the copy hard disk of the ten-second clip and played it.

After a while, the special effects footage of the [Transformation Thruster] was played on the screen.

While watching the clip on the big screen, Su Yang recalled the plot of the special effects clip.

This special effects clip is a clip where the protagonist and his party have just left the underground base and came to the surface of the earth, and then the heroine saw the huge thruster, asked the hero what it was, and then the hero explained it.

This segment is a segment that tests the production level of special effects.

Because it uses the lens design of one shot to the end, starting from the [Transformation Thruster] on the ground, advancing the lens along the propeller all the way up to the atmosphere of the planet, and again the lens is too high, from the small to the big, to the world's few The spectacular scene of thousands of propellers blowing fire together.

Generally speaking, normal movies end here.

But Guo Fan designed a higher sublimation.

After shooting the spectacular scene of thousands of propellers blowing fire together, he zoomed out again to show the whole picture of the planet, and then pulled out the [Navigator Space Station], which has a visual effect larger than the planet. Made a foreshadowing of the problem.

The whole special effects design is simply shocking.

When he saw the special effects script at that time, Su Yang felt that Guo Fan was really a talent, he deserved to be from a manga background, and the lens design was amazing.

But now when this special effects clip appears in front of his eyes, after witnessing this spectacular scene with his own eyes, and even the details are perfected, even though this is the work of his "opponent", Su Yang has to say that it is really wonderful. !

Although the whole special effects clip is a bit rough, it has surpassed the special effects of most domestic movies, giving people a heart-pounding visual enjoyment.
