Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 131 "Myth"

In order to make up for his own decision last time, Shi Nansheng acted quickly. In just three days, he compiled a detailed information.

However, there are not many powerful special effects companies involved, and the most obvious one is George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic. It is currently the fastest growing and most powerful special effects company. It is also the third largest special effects company on the surface. A special effects company specializing in film and television post-production services.

It is currently impossible to reach out to this company. After all, the influence of "Star Wars" is still there. Their operations are very healthy and they will not resell.

Except for the special effects company, the rest are some well-known talents in the industry who are good at special effects. Most of them were learned by Shi Nansheng from James Cameron.

At this time, Su Chengcai suddenly realized that before James came to Tengyue Entertainment, he was also doing special effects work. Maybe, through him, he could also recruit some great talents!

Instantly, he was reminded of the famous Stan Winston, the great talent who pioneered the digital field of special effects companies with James in later generations. The two of them were still working on the movie "Alien 2" that had already been assigned to their Tengyue company. , we got to know each other while doing special effects. I’m afraid we’ll get to know each other in advance now!

When it comes to special effects companies, there is a saying in later generations: "One fifty cents, one Vita."

Wumao special effects, that is, "special effects models that are so fake that you can see through them at a glance."

Weta refers to the Weta digital special effects company founded by Peter Jackson and Charlie Taylor. The models they produce can look so fake that they can be indistinguishable, as if they are bringing the virtual world into reality. This is evident from this. .

As for the representative works of Weta Digital Special Effects Company, there are many, famous ones include "Lord of the Rings", "X-Men", "Avengers", "The Hobbit", "Avatar" and so on.

However, the current two founders are not very old, so let’s try to win over them!

Finally, there is the special effects master Joe Letteri recommended by James. No matter what his ability is, it will not go wrong if he is at least praised by Cameron.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng directly asked Shi Nansheng to start poaching these people. As for the other people, he should first capture these people and establish a framework. Then let them slowly screen them. Anyway, Su Cheng now has a large sum of money in his hands. Funds, don’t be afraid to spend money.

Just when Su Cheng was about to leave the office, Jiang Zhiqiang called and said solemnly: "Boss, in addition to the theater chain we acquired, I think our Tengyue theater chain can continue to expand."

"Expanding outward?" Su Cheng was a little confused.

Jiang Zhiqiang said: "That's right, boss, I have carefully studied the big movie companies in Hollywood. If a blockbuster is to be released, there will be at least 1,500 to 2,500 theaters showing it. And we are currently there. But there are only more than 1,000 theaters. Movies like "Dragon Tiger" can completely support it. But when it comes to movies like "Back to the Future" and "True Lies", I'm afraid the box office will be a lot less. After all, we are Tengyue The coverage of theater chains in Hollywood is not broad enough.”

After listening to what he said, Su Cheng finally understood that the market in Xiangjiang is different from that in Hollywood. Although they have acquired theaters owned by two film companies, in Hollywood, for the screening of blockbusters, the two major Movie companies, or theater chains owned by the three major movie companies, usually show the movie together in about 2,000 theaters.

In this way, we not only consider the movie box office, but also cover all areas of medium and large cities as much as possible.

On the contrary, Tengyue Entertainment Company is currently working alone, cooperating with 20th Century Fox in terms of production, but it suffers too much when it joins theater chains.

After thinking about it, Su Cheng said: "It just so happened that Angkor went to Hollywood in the past few days. I will tell him. You first design the plan and complete the layout of the theater chain as soon as possible. Money is not an issue. I hope that in the shortest time

Within a short period of time, we can leapfrog the theater chain and occupy a certain position in Hollywood."

"Got it, boss!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng shook his head slightly. Many things were whimsical. It seems that in the future, when releasing blockbusters, he will have to find partners. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be targeted and even isolated by major film companies.

came out. At that time, I was afraid that even the production would be in trouble.

Why……

With a deep sigh, Su Chengcai slowly walked out.

…

The novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is much more popular than Su Cheng's previous series "Quest for Qin" and "The Myth". No matter where you go, you can hear people discussing it.

From time to time, names like Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, Jiujianxian, and Lin Yueru popped up one after another.

However, at this time, Tengyue TV officially broadcast the large-scale costume TV series "Myth" that had been in preparation for nearly a year.

Su Cheng had never seen the finished film before. Now he turned on Tengyue TV and glanced at it briefly. He could tell that both the director and the entire crew were working hard to produce this drama.

What surprised Su Cheng was that the male lead Yi Xiaochuan was played by Tony Leung, the female lead Yu Shu was played by Zhu Baoyi, Yi Dachuan was played by Simon Yam, Zhao Gao was played by Liao Qizhi, and Lu Fei was played by Wen Xueer.

Lu Su is played by Zhuang Jing and Xiang Yu is played by Kaohsiung.

Although it is very different from the version in his memory, the quality of the TV series and the many martial arts moves are beautiful, atmospheric, elegant and unrestrained. Especially the fight between Yi Xiaochuan and the tiger is very intense and very interesting to watch.

.However, the tiger is fake and is a special effect made from a model. For this reason, the production cost is much higher.

Not to mention the scene where Yu Shu danced in front of the King of Qin was so wonderful that even the subsequent scenes in "Qin Ling" took a lot of thought to design and spent a lot of money on special effects.

But this is only limited to the filming of TV series. If it is changed to a movie, perhaps further changes will be required.

Speaking of which, a lot of the filming for this TV series was inland.

It's not that Xu Xiaoming and the others ran it themselves, but asked the assistant director to go there. Firstly, it would not attract anyone's attention. Secondly, it would save a lot of trouble.

After all, there are no magnificent ancient cities for filming here in Xiangjiang. The last filming of "Looking for Qin" was too makeshift. But "The Myth" is Su Cheng's own hard work and cannot be messed with. He still wants this version to become a

It’s a classic! Of course it has to be refined.

It is also worth mentioning that Su Cheng chose the original Mandarin version of the episode "The Myth of Stars and Moons" instead of the Cantonese version. That is just one song. The other songs were all completed by Li Xiaotian's music department.

.

As for the Mandarin version of "The Myth of Stars and Moon", he gave it to Ye Qianwen, who speaks Mandarin well.

I am afraid that among the female singers in Tengyue Entertainment, she is the only one who can sing with an original feeling! The accents of Anita Mui and others are quite different. It sounds a bit weird.

But what Su Cheng didn't know was that his "willfulness" this time gave an inspiration to the singers within Tengyue Entertainment and even many singers in Hong Kong, and he slowly recorded a small number of Mandarin songs in the Cantonese album.

As a result, after the Hong Kong-British negotiations, a large number of Mandarin songs emerged in Hong Kong. This also led to the rapid rise of many "unknown singers".
