China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 101 It's Not That Simple

Chapter 101 It's Not That Simple

After bidding farewell to Wu Tianming, He Fang was very touched. He didn't dare to think about the development of Chinese films, and he was not a savior.

He just felt the sincere love for movies of the older generation of filmmakers, and they still want to learn new film techniques when they are in their 80s.

This is the real filmmaker, and only a real filmmaker can make a good movie, but now the entire Chinese film industry is controlled by people who make money from the film industry.

Those restructured film groups have all built up fixed assets, set up profitable theater chains, and carried out capitalization.

A money-losing thing like a movie?Can there be real estate stability?Can real estate make money?The income of a suite can equal the annual income of a movie studio.

If the movie cast within a year loses money, it is not as good as a house.

The film studios and film groups that really understand the risks of films are staying away from film investment, while those rich bosses who don't understand are being pulled into the water one by one. This world is so absurd.

Except for the old film studios, no one plays movies anymore, do those private companies really love movies?
For example, Huayi, are they true love movies?

Of course not, when they make money in the stock market, they will go to film.

So, the rise and fall of the movie has nothing to do with them?They only care about making money, whether they can play female stars.

This is also why when He Fang was industrializing films at Huying Group, the whole industry was laughing and preparing to see a joke.

Of course, there are still a few words of encouragement from the leaders, as well as related supporting policies.

At the end of the round, He Fang found that the only ones who supported them were the officials, who gave money, policies, and land.

Others are just gloating and talking about what they can do with all the money and land to do anything they want to make money and have lower risks than movies.

To waste money making movies means not understanding economics and not making money.

Tsk, even if the government supports it like this, there are still countless people criticizing the government for intervening too much.

This kind of thing can't be said, do your own thing.

Xi'an is the last stop of the "Single Zoo" promotion. This stop is completed, that is, all the promotion of "Single Zoo" is completed, and everyone can go home and find their own mothers.

"Director He, don't you plan to take a two-day break?" Fan Bingbing was the most difficult to deal with, the others had left, but she didn't, so she was going to pester He Fang.

He Fang fixedly looked at Fan Bingbing, who was writhing wildly but staring at him, "You, no matter how strong a cow is, it can't stand your rest!"

"Who is resting? It's a waste of my hard work. I won't twist, you come..." Fan Bingbing was immediately discouraged.

"I'll come if I come, see if I don't let you scream..."

……

After the promotion of "Single Zoo", He Fang returned to Changsha. He was going to watch the preparation work of "Pacific Rim" and the preparation work of "Happy Comedian".

Of course, there is another important task, that is the promotion of "People on the Journey".

He will take the main creators of the crew to participate in the recording of "Happy Camp" and the recording of the second season of "The Voice".

"Fang Yazi, you are amazing. Mom is proud of you. Tell me, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you." After returning home, He Fang became the treasure in Zeng Jinghua's heart.

"Chopped Pepper Fish, Money Eggs, Stir-Fried Bacon with Lettuce, and Dried Tofu." He Fang reported several dishes in one breath.

"Okay, then you wait, mom will go shopping now."

He Fang lay down at home and had a good rest for a day. He didn't dare to rest too much because he had too many things to do.

On July 7, he came to Malan Mountain, which has become a large industrial site, but fortunately, there are two huge studios, which are very conspicuous, blue and white.

According to visual inspection, it is at least 60 meters high, 80 meters long, and [-] meters wide. This is the main indoor studio specially built for "Pacific Rim".

He Fang remembers that Wanda later built a studio with a height of over [-] meters in Qingdao.

But this studio is enough, the one hundred meters high is not necessary.

In the main studio, there are nearly 0.5:1 models of an aircraft carrier and a warship. The key point is that this model is not a simple two-ship model, but a detachable and reinstallable model.

That is to say, it can be a ship now, and in the future it can be a spaceship or other large things.

In addition to being detachable, its bottom can be moved or even hoisted as a whole. Several huge gantry cranes are installed on the top of the studio to lift the whole boat.

What are you hanging up for?
Of course, it is possible to simulate the attitude of the ship driving in the ocean, or simulate the effect of capsizing the ship, etc.

When designing this thing, I have already thought about its various applications in the future, so it is impossible to let such a construction go to waste.

Think about it, in the future, domestic movies can shoot naval battles, large aircraft carriers in flight, large warships, and even come here to shoot scenes in space and alien planets, and spaceships in space.

Then the post-production company of Huying Film and Television Base also provided various special effects materials for modeling, and solved the problem in one package from props to special effects.

With such conditions, will there be fewer people thinking about these stories?Will there be fewer crews making this kind of production?
This is the importance of infrastructure construction in film industrialization. Once you have these infrastructures, then everyone dares to think about stories and themes that were not dared to shoot before.

You don't, everyone cringes at the thought of doing sci-fi.

Because there is no venue, no equipment, no special effects, no talent...

Fox's team is in charge of the construction here, and Lake Film Group has also established a special effects workshop department. Since the beginning of this year, special people have been docking with Fox's team and started construction.

In fact, it is not difficult to build such models, the difficulty is how to master them proficiently.

"Director He, welcome to guide the work. Now our main framework has been basically completed, and now it is the details. Give us two months to ensure that the task is completed."

He Fang was talking to Yang Guangqing, the newly appointed special effects workshop director of Huying Group, a dark and stocky middle-aged man.

"Ha, Director Yang, I trust you. The key is that you have to learn how to operate this in this period of time. After Fox's team leaves, you have to play well by yourself." He Fang said.

"Don't worry about this, Secretary Gu and Mr. Huang have already given thousands of instructions." Yang Guangqing took out a cigarette and gave He Fang a cigarette.

He Fang took the cigarette with a smile, and then lit the fire that Yang Guangqing handed over.

"That's good. You have to keep an eye on the progress, ensure the safety of the construction, and even consider the safety of shooting in the future. Later, I will ask the photographer to come over to see if your camera position is feasible. Don't install the model. As a result, our seats were lost, so what a fart."

"Ha, Director He, you should feel more at ease about this. The Fox team is very professional. They have thought of the room, the cab, the war room, and even the kitchen and toilet. There are 360 ​​degrees left, right, up and down. "

"Well, you have to learn this. Any modeling is for film shooting, so how to build it is as convenient as shooting, this is the purpose..."

After He Fang inspected the big ship in the special effects workshop, he went to the underwater photography workshop.

Yang Guangqing was also in charge. He took He Fang to another studio. This studio was much smaller, only about 30 square meters and about [-] meters high.

The pool was built into a half-slope shape, and the highest height from the ground reached about ten meters. Following Yang Guangqing's introduction, He Fang understood the function of this thing. It is mainly used to create waves, and then to create islands and the like , which is reserved for future changes.

Then a sandy beach was built on both sides of the pool, and a small high slope like a cliff was built on the other side.

"This pool can simulate [-]-level typhoons and waves, and it can be separated. It can divide the [-]-square-meter water area into three parts... Look at our roof, which is arc-shaped. It has not been installed yet, and it can be simulated after it is installed. The sky, pull up the green screen, and you can make the sky effect at will in the later stage..."

Following Yang Guangqing's introduction, He Fang is very satisfied with the current progress and construction, which is in line with his requirements.

After visiting the special effects workshop, he went to the props workshop.

The director of the props workshop is called Zhuang Hanlin, who was recruited by Huying Group from the Bayi Factory. He is 41 years old this year, only 167 in height, and thin. He looks like a craftsman, and he doesn't like to talk much.

"Director Zhuang, what happened to the mecha model?" He Fang took the initiative to hand out a cigarette to Zhuang Hanlin.

"Ah, smoking is not allowed here, and some special materials here are flammable." Zhuang Hanlin said seriously.

"Oh, I'm sorry, this is right, you should always pay attention to safety in this workshop."

"Well, we purchased some of the mecha props from island countries and the United States. It's just that it is difficult to localize and copy." Zhuang Hanlin frowned.

"What's the difficulty?"

"There is no factory in our country that can copy it, and there is no way to repair it. Now the island countries and the United States are the most powerful in making robots. Therefore, it is almost impossible for us to copy it ourselves. I am afraid we can only go to them to purchase. In addition, that They don’t allow us to Sinicize the software, we have to pay for Sinicization.”

"Hiss..." He Fang took a breath, "Let's go and see the finished product first."

Zhuang Hanlin took He Fang to a room to see a sample of the mecha. The height was indeed high, three or four meters high, and it was very cool.

"Does it have a voice system?" He Fang asked.

"Yes, I'll give you a try." Zhuang Hanlin walked up to the mecha, pried open a cover towards its thigh, and pressed a switch inside.

Then the mecha starts up.

"Hello, Diego."

"Hello, do you want to start boarding preparations?" The mech made an electronic sound.

"Yes, ready to board."

"receive."

After the mecha was lit up, he knelt down with both legs, and then opened the door in front of his chest, and there was a driver's seat inside.

"Director He, do you want to take a look?"

He Fang nodded, and leaned over to listen to Zhuang Hanlin explain how this thing works.

Don't look at this thing that looks bluffing, but in fact it only has this function. At most, it can put people in it and walk a few steps. It is impossible to really fight like a mecha.

He Fang sat in and tried to operate it, it was really cool.

It's just... Our current industry is still too backward. We can only do primary processing and produce light industrial products such as shoes and socks for others.

Therefore, the industrialization of film actually follows the degree of industrialization of the country. The industrialization of the whole country is not perfect, and without upgrading, the industrialization of film cannot be advanced.

"Well, yes, if it doesn't work, just buy it. Then create two batches of different styles according to what is written in my script and drawn by the artist, and the system is the same. There must be a batch of Chinese versions."

"Okay, then we'll do that."

……

After He Fang walked out of these two studios, he looked at the Huying Film and Television City, which was under construction not far away, and gritted his teeth secretly.

In a few years at most, he will definitely make this a more advanced and complete film industrialization base than Hollywood.

In a few years, I believe that our industry will rise in a few years, and we can also make this kind of robot props.

As soon as He Fang finished expressing his feelings, his phone rang, and it was Wang Baoqiang.

"Hello, Brother Qiang."

"Oh, Director He, don't call me Brother Qiang, just call me Baoqiang. This brother, brother, I can't bear it." Wang Baoqiang is a real person.

"Ha, what can't you bear when I call you?"

"You should still call me Baoqiang."

"Okay, Baoqiang, can't you come on time for the call?"

"No, I'm just telling you that I will be there on time tomorrow."

"Haha, okay, it's time to invite you to eat snake flavors, this season is just right."

"Yeah, really? Alright, then I'll wait for your treat. Oh, by the way, congratulations to the director "Single Zoo" for breaking through [-] million at the box office."

"haha, thank you……"

After hanging up Wang Baoqiang's phone call, he remembered to check the box office. The box office in the first two days of the third week was not bad, with a few million per day, not much drop. Maybe this movie can break [-] million.

By the way, before, General Manager Huang Ke told him that the group proposed to apply for an extension, but He Fang didn't reply. Now it seems that it is possible.
