Go abroad to become a director and overturn Hollywood at the box office

Chapter 25: First exploration of Industrial Light and Magic, strolling through Chinatown at night
Cars drive all the way.

In the afternoon, we arrived in San Francisco.

San Francisco is a port city on the ocean coast, a world-famous tourist destination and the fourth most populous city in California.

It is also one of the areas with the highest density of Chinese in the Western Hemisphere, and the total number of Chinese is second only to New York.

Qin Feng talked on the phone with the person in charge there.

The person in charge suggested that they take a night's rest before going to the company the next day.

Qin Feng adopted the other party's suggestion and they first found a hotel.

The next day, I came to the headquarters of Industrial Light and Magic.

The company was born in 1975 with George Lucas' "Star Wars".

In this world, as a science fiction film, "Star Wars" only had three films filmed, and the subsequent ones were stranded.

Qin Feng parked the car and the two got out of the car.

Bill, the person in charge, stood waiting at the gate.

"Director Qin, Dr. Orna, welcome to Industrial Light & Magic."

"Hello, Mr. Bill."

Bill led the way, and the three of them walked into the company lobby together.

When you walk into the lobby, you will see its logo and slogan.

A logo is like a glowing light bulb.

The slogan is: Movies are more important than technology.

Both sides of the hall are filled with large-scale models, figurines and posters about "Star Wars".

Qin Fenghe looked at the dazzling array of things.

"So impressive! So awesome!" Qin Feng sighed.

Bill smiled politely, with a look of emotion on his face.

If it hadn't been able to receive a small number of special effects film projects, the company would probably be in even greater difficulty.

The three of them entered a large conference room directly.

Bill called the relevant special effects team leader over.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Qin Feng, the deputy director and chief screenwriter of "Jurassic Park"."

"This is a paleontologist who is very familiar to everyone and has been communicating with us online recently - Dr. Jack Orner."

Everyone applauded.

I was surprised:

"This assistant director is so young! He is also Asian."

"I didn't expect that he wrote the script of the movie. It's really amazing."

"He replaced Director Spielberg to communicate about special effects issues."

"..."

Bill said to Qin Feng: "Director Qin, if you have any questions, you can just ask."

Qin Feng stood up and looked around with a smile.

"Hello, special effects team teachers."

"In my mind, I admire the post-production personnel who do movie special effects very much."

"You put the emotions we wanted to express and the images we wanted to realize on the big screen. You are the heroes behind the scenes."

"When I was in junior high school, I watched the "Star Wars" movie in China. It was not convenient to watch the movie in my hometown, so I rented a CD to watch it."

"After many years, the scene at that time is still shocking."

"Here, I would like to pay tribute to all the teachers!"

Saying that, Qin Feng bowed slightly.

Everyone listened quietly, feeling moved in their hearts.

This young man spoke sincerely, and what he said was not just a show of words.

"I also know that today's special effects movies are in a slump, and your company's development has now entered a bottleneck period."

"Because of this, we must make more and good science fiction movies to boost morale."

"With this, Director Si's "Jurassic Park" project has been launched, and it has now entered the most critical stage." "I hope that all teachers and people in charge will complete the special effects shots on time and in sufficient quantities, so that our movie can be released as soon as possible." Meet the audience.”

"I believe that there will be more and more special effects movies in the future and they will become more and more exciting!"

"I also believe that our cooperation has just begun!"

The voice just fell.

The people present applauded.

Although Director Qin is young, his words and deeds show that he has seen big scenes!
He really deserves to be someone who hangs around Director Spielberg.

sharp!sharp!
Bill said: "Director Qin, please rest assured, and Director Si, please rest assured that our work is progressing relatively smoothly and will never exceed the work plan."

"When you say that, I feel relieved."

Bill said to one of the people present: "Charles, let Director Qin and Dr. Orna take a look at what has been done."

"OK." Charles agreed and turned on the big screen.

There are more than a dozen clips appearing in the interface, each lasting between tens of seconds and 2 minutes.

"Director Qin or Dr. Na, this is what we have already generated. Of course, it still needs some color correction and sound effects, but we can get a rough idea."

He said clicking on the first video.

This is the first scene in the movie where Brachiosaurus appears.

In the video, the brachiosaurus was huge, with thick limbs and a long swinging tail. It was very shocking as it walked past several starring actors and off-road vehicles.

After a few seconds, the Brachiosaurus squatted back, raised its forelimbs, stretched its neck, and went to eat the leaves at the top of the treetop.

After taking two bites, he lowered his forelimbs. Although there were no sound effects, it felt like the earth was shaking!
Qin Feng looked carefully, and he was surprised to find that this special effect was actually better than the one in his previous life!
More natural and more realistic!

The dinosaurs seemed to be alive!
He thought for a moment and then felt relieved.

After all, this is 2009, and hardware configuration and software performance have been greatly improved.

Although Industrial Light & Magic has not done many projects, it has accumulated technology and talent and has not lost its talent. With the good development of software and hardware, it will soon be able to catch up.

Qin Feng nodded, "That's great, I think there's no problem."

Turning to look at Orna, "Doctor, what do you think?"

Dr. Orner also nodded, "This lens has been touched before and has been modified several times. I can't see any problems."

"OK, next."

In the following time, everyone watched all the more than a dozen videos.

For the recent special effects shots, Dr. Qin Fenghe or Na provided some opinions.

The special effects artists marked the problems so that they could be modified later.

In the next few days, Qin Feng stayed at the Industrial Light and Magic headquarters, communicating frequently between the director and the special effects artists.

Dr. Orna worked with the special effects artists to discuss the dinosaur's habits and movement patterns to achieve the greatest possible restoration.

According to the plan, they will work here for a week.

On the night of the fourth day, Dr. Orner was working overtime, and Qin Feng came out of the company alone.

Finally came to San Francisco.

Where to go for a walk?

correct!I heard that Chinatown here is very famous.

Why not go and have a look.

Thinking of this, he lit the fire and opened the navigation.

It is the rush hour after get off work, and there is a constant flow of vehicles on the road.

We arrived near Chinatown and parked the car.

When I got out of the car, I saw a long plaque in front of me from a distance, with three characters written on it: Chinatown.

Colored lanterns are hung high, and red lanterns are lined up on both sides.

There are countless real estate markets in the gates, and there are many large and small plaques and advertisements sticking out horizontally and vertically.

I can’t tell whether it’s the style of the Republic of China or Hong Kong, but it looks like a place where Chinese people live.

There was an endless stream of pedestrians.

What a lively scene!
