China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 98 Shortlisted, New Principal, Wild Child Guorong

The castration of the "X" software was actually done after Lu Pingan got the programming skills, and it took more than half a year to get it done.

Before that, he only knew how to use "X".

But it's impossible to split and castrate, because he doesn't know how to program.

Now that I have programming skills, I know the true power of this software.

Take "Kung Fu Panda" as an example.

It is useless to use only a few software for movie-level 3D animation like "Kung Fu Panda". For software such as 3DMAX, MAYA, XSI, and ZB on the market today, each software is not perfect and has its own advantages. Disadvantages, the key is how to use them in combination, how to use your own experience to make the best animation.

Among them, 3DMAX is the most powerful in polygon modeling and image rendering, MAYA is the strongest in irregular surface modeling and special effects rendering, character skeleton animation, skinning, XSI is the strongest, and ZB is the strongest in model detail modification and engraving.

Experts use a lot of software in combination, and sometimes film companies even develop a set of plug-in embedding software independently, just to perfectly merge a large number of 3D software.

A strong film company will definitely have a greater advantage with its own embedded software.

At this point, the "X" special effects software can be understood as a set of the strongest embedded software, which accommodates the functions of various advanced software, and all functions are integrated together, and then use intelligent algorithms, just like intelligent input The same as the method, one letter can give you countless choices, the more instructions, the more accurate, and then click to choose.

So what Lu Pingan has to do now is to disassemble the animation module of the "X" software and create a castrated version of the embedded software.

With this software, it can accommodate all the 3D software currently on the market. "X" has its own compatibility mode, and there is no need to consider authorization issues when using it.

Combined with the various functions that come with "X", even if it is a castrated version, it can make the animation process easier than other companies.

At this point, "X" has left enough room for castration, and Lu Pingan couldn't help but give Golden Finger a thumbs-up, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do it in ten years on his own.

Now, the embedding software has been completed, and there are more than 30 related professionals.

The next step is to train how to use their own software on the basis of various software in the world.

When the training is almost done, I will use the unproduced Venice short film to practice.

The Venice short film is called "Dinner for a Few". It is a 2D animation, and it can also be made into 3D. one.

It's just right for practicing.

"Come here first today, what do you think of this software?"

After training all afternoon, Lu Pingan asked everyone.

"The software is powerful."

"Better than the ones on the market."

"It will be started soon."

"."

More than 30 animators praised it one after another, and it seems that the situation is good.

"Then eat first, and then everyone will work hard. After finishing the short film, let's try to start "Kung Fu Panda" as soon as possible."

"understand!"

It took five days, and the team was basically familiar with the performance of the chimera software.

Everyone also started to try to make some simple models.

It's quick to get started, but it takes some time to master it.

But it doesn't matter, it is still possible to deal with a film like "Dinner for a Few". This year's Venice Film Festival submission deadline is at the end of May. In five months, it is not a big problem to make a simple 10-minute short film.

After another two days, after inspecting everyone's familiarity with the software, he decided to start making the Venice short film tomorrow.

There are still talents in China, learn quickly!

Lu Pingan distributed the script and the storyboard, and everyone immediately started researching.

After another shock, everyone began to work together and try to make samples.

After everything was done, he asked Bao Qingqing: "Where is Guorong, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Bao Qingqing was about to speak when Guorong's car came back.

When Guorong got out of the car, Lu Pingan frowned when he saw him, with a look of disbelief.

Now Guorong has a lot of scraping marks on his body, his legs and pants are wet, and his shoes are full of dirt, just like a mud child coming back from the wild.

"Brother, what's your situation? It's not like you rolled down the mountain."

"It's raining, isn't it normal to have soil?"

Guorong patted his trouser legs with a smile, he didn't care, and then greeted Lu Pingan, "Let's eat, let's eat, I'm so hungry."

With that said, he went to the cafeteria.

Lu Pingan looked puzzled, why did Guorong feel so much better in this state?Is it really so interesting to shovel panda shit?
But just be in good spirits.

Lu Pingan didn't ask much.

"Let's go, let's go eat too, what's in the cafeteria today?"

Bao Qingqing quickly answered: "There is snake meat, it ran into the park in the afternoon!"

Lu Pingan: "I like it!!"

The two chatted and went to the cafeteria.

Guorong began to share what he saw and heard today as usual, with a bright look on his face.

What kind of panda can't wake up when it thunders while sleeping. After waking up, it is so energetic that it can't be watched at all, and then it laughs as it talks.

That's all for one meal.

It's just that Lu Ping'an's nose can always smell the fragrance of bamboo.

Then I thought about it again, and the national treasure Baba suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and I couldn't eat much.
"A friend will come over in a few days, safe, is it convenient to come in here?"

After eating, Guorong asked.

"It's fine to have a look at the workshop, just don't delay too long."

"No problem, I won't bother you."

"When did you come over?"

"Probably in three or four days."

"Then I may not have time to entertain, I have to go out."

"Go and do your work, don't worry about me."

"Okay, don't hold back if you have any questions, call anytime."

After dinner, Yan Danchen called: "When will you be back?"

"Tomorrow."

"Oh, are you all right over there?"

"It's okay, it tastes delicious, and I lick pandas every day, haha."

"You will envy others to death!"

"Well, it's actually Guorong who is masturbating every day, I'm so hairy that I don't see it."

The two chatted for a while, and the topic returned to "Time and Space Evil".

Time and Space Crimes is coming out these days.

The current schedule is actually not good.

But compared to this year, it is already a very good schedule.

Hollywood blockbusters are released in March and April.

There will be Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in March.

SARS began in April, and theaters were closed.

July is the summer holiday season, and films like "Spacetime Evil" are dead in that period.

So February is the best date.

At this time, Lu Ping'an's remaining prestige is still there.

"Source Code" won a super high box office and word of mouth.

This is of great benefit to his new work.

In addition, "Time and Space Evil" was also shortlisted for last year's Venice Film Festival.

This is another propaganda point.

So in reality, the current schedule is actually no worse than the summer schedule.

In addition, the cost of this film is very low.

There is almost no pressure to make money.

So this time is just right.

That night, Lu Pingan greeted the team well.

I flew back to the capital the next day.

On the 19th, "Time and Space Evil" will be screened in Beijing and other coastal cities.

Shortlisted in Venice!

Directed by Lu Pingan!
Continue to burn brain suspense!

Many people walked into the theater.

However, they found out after they entered the theater.

There are only four and a half actors in this movie!
Now everyone understands.

The cost of "Spacetime Evil" is ridiculously low!

However, the video quality is quite good.

After watching the movie, the first wave of media people and netizens began to express emotion:

"None of Lu Ping'an's movies are simple!"

"A masterpiece with only five actors!"

"Brain-burning suspense, a standard Luping-style movie."

"If you don't understand it once, you will understand it twice."

"..."

So a week later, on February 2th.

"Time and Space Evil" successfully won a box office of 1100 million and achieved a large profit.

For a while, Lu Pingan became the focus again.

At this time, Lu Pingan had already been in Bashu for several days.

Not long after "Time and Space" was released, seeing the box office of 110 million on the first day, he knew that there was no need to worry about it.

Profit is a sure thing.

And the film was already profitable.

The copyright fee is 135 million US dollars.

So don't worry.

"Okay, that's it."

On the 25th, Venice Short Film finished two shots at the beginning and the end.

Lu Pingan nodded to confirm the approval.

The two shots totaled 36 seconds, the waves, rain, the building and the "dinner protagonists" in the room of the building, the camera zoomed in, zoomed out, and ended.

There is no more complicated "action scene" in the feature film.

So these two shots are relatively the easiest in the whole film.

It took 15 days to make, which is a bit slow, and it takes ten months to make a 10-minute film, which is not in time for the Venice submission deadline in May.

But Lu Pingan wasn't worried at all.

The left and right elements in the film and the camera decomposition have been done, and everyone is familiar with the software, so it will be done very quickly in the future.

In addition, Lu Ping'an didn't plan for this short film to surpass, as long as the plot is restored.

After all, the core is drama.

So in the future, the entire film will still be completed within 3 months, which can catch up with Venice.

"I won't be here in a few days, so feel free to communicate with me if you have any questions."

After confirmation, Lu Pingan and Bao Qingqing, the head of the project production team, said.

He has already drawn the shot script in great detail, as long as he follows it, he won't fly, and Lu Pingan can leave with peace of mind.

Bao Qingqing was full of confidence: "Don't worry."

"gone."

That afternoon, Lu Pingan returned to Beijing again, this time he was going to Laomei, and the matter of "Chain Saw" and Oscar came.
