Don't call me Master, call me Director

But Shen Er, who has greater ambitions, can't do that, because he needs to grab the audience's attention at the first time, and let them feel the shock of the 3D special effects movie.

The most important thing in online novels is the first one to three chapters, and the most important thing in movies is the first 10 minutes before the opening.

Almost all excellent action special effects movies will inevitably arrange a wonderful action scene in the opening 5-10 minutes.

This scene may not be the most exciting action and the most grand scene in the whole movie, but it is the most critical of the whole movie.

Because this scene will determine the audience's impression of the entire movie.

In fact, the opening two scenes represent the core theme of Shen Er's shooting of "Super Eight"-feelings and special effects.

In order to let the audience feel the hugeness of the huge creatures fighting, Shinji focused on referring to the two movies "Pacific Rim" and "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", and put the battle scenes on a rainy night.

Don't look at the rainy night scene that has been complained about as the most jerry-built special effects environment, but once the two elements of lighting and rain are used well, it can bring unprecedented happiness to the audience.

"The effect of this rainwater is too realistic! It's almost as if it's about to hit your face!"

The picture of rainwater pouring on the camera became more realistic with the blessing of 3D effect, which directly stunned Li Riying.

Although he has seen many special effects and special effects movies, including the previous test screenings of "Super Eight", this is the first time he has seen such a visually realistic picture.

Coupled with the IMax large screen, the amount of information is far beyond the average picture quality, and Li Rixiong can clearly feel the depth of field effect of the picture.

He knew that this was the 3D special effect that the producers of "Super Eight" had been repeatedly promoting.

"At first I thought the test footage was already the limit of this movie, but I didn't expect the shot effect of the finished film to be more delicate!"

"It's almost like being sucked into the screen of a movie unknowingly. Is this what the title said just now, entering a movie?"

Li Riying found that he became more and more interested in this movie. Being able to watch such a wonderful movie, all the troubles in work and life before were swept away.

If Li Riying's excitement was only in his mind, then the children's excitement was directly expressed through behavior.

"It's amazing——!! It's awesome!!"

Li Riying's little nephew bit his finger and screamed while drooling.

"This Ultraman and the monster feel more powerful than Tiga!"

Children like to use visual expression to speak the most. Seeing Mengbius's fighting scene is so handsome, this bear child immediately changed from a steadfast Di Chui to a persistent Meng Chui.

"Uncle, what's the name of that fish-like monster? It looks very strong! Why haven't I seen it before?"

"You kid who doesn't watch Showa, of course you haven't seen it."

Li Riying replied casually, now he is fully devoted to the movie and doesn't want to talk to the children at all.

How can it be fun to watch a movie if you teach Amway to bear children? !

Then, Lao Li was kicked by the unhappy brat.

"You kid is going to rebel!"

Li Riying slapped his little nephew speechlessly, and then explained impatiently: "That monster is from "Altman Jack", but the story is a bit difficult to understand, it's better not to read it."

Thinking of the plot of "The Messenger of the Monster and the Boy", Li Rixiong's mood was mixed, and even the excitement of seeing such frequent scenes was a little less.

"Is this intentional to make old fans depressed?" Li Riying complained with his arms folded, "It can't be a movie director's bad taste, right?"

Of course, this is not Shen Er's bad taste, but it is also the second master's intention.

Shinji will arrange for Murucci to appear on the stage, just to commemorate the three major issues of Showa that he likes very much.

The enemies that appeared in these three episodes have all been reproduced to varying degrees in the Heisei era.

Jamila had an American remake in "Pavat", and Nongmalt appeared in Seven OV, and continued to write the story of the year.

Only Muluqi did not show his face in the Heisei era, after all, the episode that was supposed to appear was cut off by the second master~

In order to pay for his own actions, and also for his own selfishness, Shen Er simply used Murucci as the opening monster of the "Super Eight" movie.

In order to pay tribute to the full set, Shen Er also specially took a long shot of Mebius and Murucci fighting to commemorate the classic scene of the Showa episode.

Of course, here are just simple scenes and fights to commemorate, and naturally there is nothing related to the plot.

There is only so little time in the movie, and if we start talking about "The Messenger of the Monster and the Boy", the audience will be overwhelmed.

So after a few minutes of wonderful fighting, allowing the audience to appreciate the charm of 3D special effects, Mebius threw Murucci out with a precise throwing skill, and killed it with Mebius' ray.

Just when Xiaomeng was about to follow the Ultraman standard procedure and draw an arc in the sky to leave, a little girl in white clothes and red shoes appeared on the roof not far away and looked at him.

"who are you?"

"A certain world is being targeted by invaders."

"what?"

"Please hurry up, there is no Ultraman in that world." The girl's figure gradually blurred, "Let's defeat the invaders with the other seven brave men."

Then, a time crack suddenly appeared under Mebius' feet, taking his whole body, no, the whole Ultraman away.

After Mebius disappeared, the big screen went black.

Then, the voice of the narration and the solemn BGM sounded.

"Do you remember? Our heroes who once defended the Earth."

On the screen appeared the figure of Brother Man of the first generation, as well as his TV screenshot animation.

This introduction to the role is based on Shen Er's reference to the opening of the movie "Super Galaxy Legend" in the competition.

Even the plot of time and space teleportation after Xiaomeng defeated the monster, Shen Er also moved it here.

However, because there are only 8 Ultramans in "Super Eight" this time, and the Heisei Three Heroes are not from the Kingdom of Light, so in the introduction of the characters, Shinji puts more emphasis on the introduction of individual characters, not as comprehensive as in "Super Galactic Legend". .

When the last Ultraman Gaia was introduced, the picture began to gradually brighten.

"Now the brand new story will take place in a world without Ultraman, a world where they didn't become heroes."

The title of the movie hit the movie screen, "Fighting Battle!"The story of Super Ultra Eight Brothers has officially begun.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"The fight just now was so powerful!"

"Is this the limit of modern film special effects technology?"

"Si Guoyi! I never thought about Ultraman, no, it's because the movie can still have such a powerful expressive power!"

......

As the movie entered the short daily plot, the audience began to chat about the shocking episode of the battle that made them want to watch it again immediately.

The outsiders watch the excitement, and the insiders watch the doorway. Compared with the audience who only know how to shout "great", the hearts of filmmakers are more shocked.

Because even they don't know how it was filmed!

Hanoi Yiping and another film critic sitting next to him turned their heads to look at each other. They exchanged glances quickly, and the same thought arose in their hearts:

Those so-called special effects movies in the past, such as FSN and its ilk, were nothing more than a joke, but now this "Super Eight" can be regarded as a real special effects movie!

It's no wonder they think so, even if they don't want to see Matou Shinji, whether the movie is grand or not, and whether the special effects are good or not, they still understand these basic elements.

These film critics' comments on Matou Shinji have always been that special effects are abused, and the plot has no connotation, but they never criticize him for not doing well in special effects.

The reason is very simple. Matou Shinji's special effects are really at the top level in the current film industry, which even these "two blacks" can't deny.

I thought Matou Shinji would be complacent about FZ's achievements and stop updating the special effects technology.

But seeing this "Super Eight", Kawachi Ippei soberly realized that Matou Shinji actually left all other filmmakers far behind.

"This is not a good thing..."

Hanoi Yiping twisted his beard with his hands, his face was full of sorrow.

Shinji Matou's continuous pursuit of extreme special effects will make his status in the field of special effects movies continue to rise, and his right to speak will continue to increase.

The most important thing for film critics is not the so-called right to speak!

"No! We must find a way to stop this brat, otherwise our position will be even more precarious."

Hanoi Yiping clenched his fists, his mind was no longer on the movie.

"That junior Matou Shinji is really generous!"

Grandpa Kitagawa sighed with emotion.

He suddenly felt that he was really old. Although he, Johnny, did not directly engage in movies, countless movie projects had passed through their hands over the years.

But he has never seen a movie as majestic as "Super Eight".

Among other things, Shinji Matou is taller than the entire Japanese film industry in terms of courage alone!

"It's really a big deal to invest so much money in a movie and develop so many special effects technologies. It's just..."

Sister Fujishima Yasuko did not continue the following words, although this movie also brought her an unprecedented shock.

But when I think about the film-related shooting and technology research and development cost report I have seen (mostly the latter), it costs hundreds of millions of yen.

Matou Shinji didn't feel distressed, but Fujishima Yasuko felt distressed for him.

If the money is handed over to Johnny's to operate, it will be split into several movies, and then handed over to the starring idols under his banner.

Not only is the risk less risky than putting all the money into one movie, but the benefits are definitely much more than just making one movie.

The movie "Super Eight" is as shocking as it is shocking, but if you want to recover those technology research and development costs, you need to make at least a few more movies.

Yasuko Fujishima guessed that Shen Er was going to use this movie to promote new technologies, but if the movie failed at the box office, it would only have the opposite effect.

The old lady didn't know that in order to cover up the existence of magic, Matou Shinji poured a lot of water into the external research funding report.

In fact, including the technical research and development funds, the shooting cost of "Super Eight" is only a little higher than that of FZ.

What really accounts for the most is the promotion of projection equipment, but if that kind of money is included, there will be no end.

It can only be said that Matou Shinji deceived everyone, this guy is very cunning.

Chapter 235 This is too real......

Mr. Kitagawa, who was sitting next to the old lady, of course understood what Yasuko Fujishima meant.

They have been sisters and brothers for decades, even if the elder sister only said half a sentence, how could he not understand as a younger brother.

"Hey... my sister still doesn't look far enough."

Grandpa Kitagawa shook his head secretly in his heart.

In the final analysis, Yasuko Fujishima’s structure is still a bit small. She is more than enough to manage Johnny’s success, but it is too much to ask her to lead the company to a further step, or to look at the problem from the perspective of the entire industry’s development.

For a movie like "Super Eight", the income can never just look at the book.

Even though Matou Shinji lost money investing in "Super Eight", he at least set a new technological benchmark for the film industry in Japan and the world.

Even if the technology shown in this movie is only so small, for a long time in the future, when everyone mentions stunt movies, "Super Eight" will be an unavoidable topic.

Everyone subconsciously feels that the best special effects movies in the world are in Japan, and the best special effects movies in Japan are produced by Shinji Matou's Xingyue Film Company.

Once this kind of thinking becomes the fixed thinking of audiences and filmmakers, and there is a wave of special effects movies all over the world, the funds lost by Matou Shinji in "Super Eight" can also be doubled through the special effects technology OEM.

This is the advantage brought by technology monopoly. If I have it, you can only buy it from me.

And the benefits that "Super Eight" can bring to Matou Shinji are not limited to this.

If "Super Eight" can cause a sensation on a global scale, Shinji Matou's position in the Japanese film and television industry will be further consolidated, and at the same time, he will also have considerable influence in the world's film and television circles.

At that time, Matou Shinji will no longer be just a director, but a bigwig in the industry.

In the film and television industry, capital and technology are hard power, while reputation and influence are soft power.

If someone has these two strengths at the same time, he will soar into the sky.

Mr. Kitagawa knows this well because he went from a boy playing baseball to the apex of the Japanese entertainment industry step by step.

But now, Mr. Kitagawa has seen a junior who is similar to himself rising rapidly, and his rising speed and influence are far beyond his own.

"It's true, the younger generation is terrifying."

Grandpa Kitagawa let out a long sigh, his eyes full of helplessness.

Matou Shinji has great ambitions, which can be seen from the current wrangling between Xingyue and Johnny about the cooperative boy group.

That was supposed to be a prerequisite project for the two parties to co-produce "Super Eight". Now that the movie has been released, the two sides are still arguing.

"Would you like to take a step back?"

Recalling the shock of the movie scene just now, Mr. Kitagawa suddenly had such an idea in his heart.
