Chapter 981 The market is unfavorable, and the cost of special effects is huge
Emma's kiss had an impact on Zhang Zifeng far beyond that.

In the next few days, Emma would always go to play with Zhang Zifeng, and then play tricks on Zhang Zifeng.

Xu Yuan was stunned.

This is……

Unexpectedly, Emma turned out to be such a woman.

Attempt to eat all men and women!

It's terrifying.

You know, the three of them were already outside the mall at that time.

There are bound to be paparazzi who candidly take pictures.

At that time, if one didn't handle it well, Xu Yuan and Zhang Zifeng might overturn directly.

Although Emma's behavior was self-destruction, it saved Zhang Zifeng.

Otherwise, no matter how Xu Yuan handles the cream on Zhang Zifeng's face, the media will add fuel to the association.

However, even the news of "Emma passionately kissing Zhang Zifeng" still did not make the headlines of the major media the next day.

Because from this day on, Hollywood's battle of the century officially started.

"Terminator: Dark Fate" and "The Expendables" are about to land in theaters, and let's start this summer's fight.

This is the first confrontation between Disney and Xu Yuan's Millennium "Galaxy Battleship" after forming the "Marvel Universe".

This battle will affect the entire world.

Disney and Paramount took the initiative to sound the horn of war.

A senior executive of Paramount directly used a speech to criticize the films of the new millennium: "How much do we invest? How much do they invest? These two films should not be compared together at all."

"In addition, I admire Stallone as an actor, but as a screenwriter and director, I'm sorry, I can't agree with it for the time being. I think he needs to start as an assistant director, and after he understands more about the real operation of the movie, he can start with small productions. , step by step."

"The current situation is very obvious. It is Xu Yuan who wants to use Stallone's gimmick to fight with us. Facts will tell them the difference. I just want to emphasize one sentence. Our special effects are [-] times better than the special effects shots of The Expendables! Special effects The cost is at least five times that of theirs!"

"How to compare?"

"Tell me, how did we lose this battle?"

The smell of gunpowder was drawn to the full level by this senior from the very beginning.

Stallone immediately responded to the other party's evaluation: "Doesn't that idiot know that senior actors are the easiest to transform into directors? I know movies, and I know more about Hollywood film production, not to mention that I spent more than ten years carefully. Study the art."

"I have confidence in myself and my fans must have the same."

"I can't say bad things about Arnold, but I know that a good movie depends not only on special effects, but also on a sincere heart. I have it, but Paramount doesn't!"

After that, the two sides successively had actors for their respective platforms.

Soon, the interviewer found Xu Yuan, hoping to hear Xu Yuan's opinion.

But Xu Yuan actually accepted an interview with Twister Times and recorded a one-on-one conversation with their host.

Moderator: Xu, you must be very clear about the dispute between the Terminator and The Expendables.

Xu Yuan: Of course, after all, I arrange the release time.

Moderator: Oh?Don't you worry about...

Xu Yuan: Of course not, it should always be my opponent who should be worried.I just don't want them to lose and have an excuse to say it's a different release date than ours.

Host: Hahaha, that's true. So far, you have had zero failures in Hollywood, which is unbelievable.

Xu Yuan: On this point, I hope everyone can calm down a bit.It's only been three or five years, and it doesn't matter if you don't fail.In two or three years, or more than ten years, some day in the future, everyone may suddenly realize, oh, it turns out that Xu still hasn't lost!At that time, please start to sigh again, now it is just basic exercises.

Moderator: Keke cough!
Moderator: Okay Xu, then the next question, I think it is more targeted.And very realistic.What do you think of the huge gap in investment and quantity of special effects shots between the two films?

Xu Yuan smiled: Only talking about investment, only talking about the number of special effects details, without considering the overall effect, is just playing hooligans.

Xu Yuan's words caught the host's attention.

Because he had a hunch that Xu Yuan might be about to make a big move.

Sure enough, what Xu Yuan said next had a huge impact on the film industry, especially in the selection and use of special effects.

Xu Yuandao: "Maybe everyone knows that I currently have one of the best special effects companies in Hollywood and even in the world, Magic Mirror. Therefore, I am also considered a half special effects person, and I know the way of this industry."

"To give a simple example, in Transformers, after Megatron's transformation, he flew by the Empire State Building and smashed a corner of the Empire State Building with a punch, causing countless blocks of cement and glass to splash out."

"How many special effects elements are there in this shot?"

The host shook his head, who knows.

"From a production point of view, there are probably thousands of places! That's right, it's a few thousand! Exaggerated numbers, right!"

"Every small piece of glass, dust, and air waves, and the details of every part of Megatron's body, including reflections, etc., have all been processed with special effects."

"The cost is absolutely staggering."

"But what about the audience? Is it necessary to make expensive special effects for things that the audience can't even see? Do you need to use so many special effects in places that the audience can't even notice?"

"This is one. Second, in many shots, the audience only pays attention to the core subject, only Iron Man, and only the light waves emitted by him. As for other things in that shot, it is not important."

"It's still the Transformers example. The first two movies are fine, but the later the robot transforms, the longer the special effects will be. But tell me, has any of you seen the transformation process clearly? No, right, because I can’t see clearly, it’s too fast, and it’s too long. Originally, a one-second special effects shot has to be made into a five-second special effects shot, which actually affects the rhythm of the film.”

"I can't think of any better explanation than raising the cost of special effects."

"Keep improving is certainly worthy of respect, but it is not good to reverse the priority. I Xu Yuan makes movies, and I am not a person who is reluctant to spend money. I am definitely not stingy in the use of special effects shots. But why has my special effects budget never been so exaggerated? ?”

"Is it because I'm poor? Or because I'm the boss and don't have to pay my own company? Neither, but I don't want to let a lot of special effects steal what I want to express."

"Special effects are just one of the auxiliary technologies of a movie. When it becomes the main theme of a movie, unless you want to promote this technology, such as the amazing 3D movie "Avatar", otherwise, excessive Rendering special effects, either they are not doing their job properly, or they were cheated by the special effects company, that's all!"

"So, not only will the Terminator spend a lot of money on special effects, it will not worry me, but it will make me feel relieved. This shows that they have deviated from the main plot. In such a movie, Death Squad can play ten!"

The host was stunned.

Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books.

Is the special effects industry so dark?
One second and five seconds, the cost difference is four or five times!

So, the Terminator and Paramount were actually scalded by the special effects company?

Be cheated?
　I predicted the plot in reality again, but I didn’t expect V Bo to be sanctioned. Should I not continue to predict, what if they mess with me?
　　When you usually read it, please vote for Da Chan's new book, thank you.

　　[Chapter 3 will be updated at [-] o'clock, and I will continue to write after having a meal. It's too bad that I haven't saved the manuscript]
