China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 382: Focus on cutting-edge new technology - virtual production technology

The employees of Tuanhuo Culture were very happy that night. Not to mention having a big meal in a five-star hotel, there were also lottery draws, awards for outstanding employees, and big bosses giving out big red envelopes...

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and everyone has gained a lot.The lottery guarantees that everyone will win. The lowest prize is daily chemicals such as paper towels, laundry detergent, and shampoo that can be used for a year. The highest prize is cash worth 5 yuan. Most of the middle prizes are popular at the moment. Electronic products, including Huawei P7 mobile phone.Of course, there are also travel packages such as 7-day tour to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and 7-day tour to Japan and South Korea.

Finally, there is He Fang's big red envelope. The red envelope is determined by rolling dice on the spot. This depends entirely on luck.

So everyone had a great time and the atmosphere was high.

After everyone held the annual meeting in the hotel that night, the company paid for a few large KTV boxes to sing. The company that didn't want to sing asked everyone to spend 108 for foot-washing services.

Anyway, the purpose is to let everyone relax after working hard for a year and make everyone feel happy.

On February 2th, the annual meeting of Xingyao Company was held again, and He Fang attended it again and gave out a big red envelope.

On Valentine’s Day on February 2th, where did I go to Sanchen Animation… and to China Southern Airlines…

Anyway, it’s not always like this at the end of the year.

He Fang, the big boss, has to be exposed to both rain and dew, right?Otherwise, what do people in other companies think?
February 2th... was the premiere of "Alita: Battle Angel". He Fang took several people from the company who were also going north to fly to the 15 city on his special plane.

That's right, everyone in 404 knows which city it is, and they are not allowed to tell their real names.After getting off the plane at 404 City, everyone met up with colleagues from the 404 branch, and then started busy work.

Fortunately, everyone is familiar with premieres and there are no difficulties.

At the premiere at the China Grand Theater, the crew gathered together, and then Chairman Wang Tiejun of Huying Group came.

"Hey, Director Wang, are you done?" He Fang shook hands with Wang Tiejun.

"Well, in order to attend your premiere, I finished my work today at noon. It's the end of the year, and there's nothing else to do except reporting work to the leaders." Wang Tiejun said with a smile.

"Do you want to make progress in your reporting work?"

"Ha, a soldier who doesn't want to make progress is not a good general." Wang Tiejun said with a smile.

"Well, um, there's something I've always wanted to tell you face to face."

"What's the matter, you said."

"I think Huying's technology studio needs to be upgraded. Nowadays, Hollywood's virtual production technology has become more and more mature. Can we also use it?" He Fang said.

"Oh? Virtual production technology? You mean to use LED screens to project scenes instead of green screens to connect the projection lens with the real lens and make the shooting more realistic?" Wang Tiejun asked.

"Wow, Director Wang, I didn't expect you to know cutting-edge technology quite well." He Fang was very surprised.

"Ha," Wang Tiejun chuckled, "How did we, Huying, rise? The re-industrialization of film. As the helmsman of Huying, I don't understand the cutting-edge technology of film industrialization. How can I be at the helm? How can I keep letting people go? Will Huying maintain its leading edge in film industrialization?”

As Wang Tiejun spoke, he took out a cigarette and gave one to He Fang. He Fang quickly took out a lighter and lit it for Wang Tiejun.

Wang Tiejun blew out a puff of smoke, and then said slowly: "Actually, we have been paying attention to this technology for a long time. "Gravity" quoted related technology at that time, put aside the green screen cutout, and realized virtual scenes and real shots. linkage.

We have been researching it for a long time. We have not taken any action because we want to make our own products. This thing is not difficult at all.We can't always rely on introduction. Relying on introduction will not last long, and we can only be followers.

How do followers transcend?Therefore, we have to catch up with technology and then surpass it at the right time.We have almost researched the technology that you mentioned. Previously, the special effects department also asked whether we should install a set to try it out.

Do you want to try "Pacific Rim 2"?If you want to try it, we'll install one. "Wang Tiejun took a long drag of his cigarette after speaking.

He Fang gave a thumbs up. To be honest, he hadn't paid attention to the specific details of the Huying Group for a long time. He didn't expect that Wang Tiejun and the others had quietly done so much work.

"You have to pretend. I have already used it this time when I was filming "Jurassic World" in the United States. This thing is really powerful. It not only helps the actors to refer to the actual scenes, but also helps the on-site creators to create more intuitively. Especially In the future, TV dramas with a lot of special effects will probably be more likely to use them." He Fang said with a smile.

"Well, your "Fights Break the Sphere" director Zhang Mo has already made a request to us. She wants to use it in "Fights Break the Sphere". Now she is doing CG modeling of each scene of "Fights Break the Sphere" in the later stage. This is for convenience when the time comes to use virtual production.”

"Should I go? This... Zhang Mo didn't tell me." He Fang was shocked.

"Ha, she just wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to bring it up too." Wang Tiejun said with a smile. "Hiss..." He Fang took a breath of cold air. This woman still wants to surpass me even once?Huh, how could she succeed?
"Ha, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't worry, as long as you ask, we will follow up. Anyway, we have almost done research in the past two years, and it should be slightly improved than the Hollywood method." Wang Tiejun smiled and patted He Fang on the shoulder.

Next, He Fang had no time to chat with Wang Tiejun. Many big guys from the industry came one after another. He Fangde greeted them one by one and then sent them to the rest area.

Just after five o'clock, the red carpet ceremony for the premiere of "Alita: Battle Angel" began.

Backstage, He Fang also met the host team who came to congratulate them, and Tu Jingwei greeted everyone happily.

Seeing Tu Jingwei, He Fang was stunned for a moment and remembered that she would go to New York University to further her studies this year. Unfortunately, she did worse and worse after coming back.

"Hi, Teacher Jingwei, I heard that you are going to New York University for further studies?" He Fang asked Tu Jingwei in a low voice.

"Huh?" Tu Jingwei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect anyone to know about this?Isn’t it just a limited number of people who know?
"Director He, how did you know?" Tu Jingwei asked.

"Oh, I just heard it accidentally."

"That's what happened. Thank you Director He for your concern." Tu Jingwei said with a smile.

"That's good, but let me give you a suggestion, don't leave CCTV, otherwise you may not be able to do better outside than you are at CCTV. If you have to leave CCTV to study, then don't study. Going to New York University for further study will not help you. What real benefits will it bring to you? This kind of superficial thing is not as strong as the real benefits of being at CCTV."

He Fang suggested and smiled. He just wanted to say more and had no other meaning.

He has nothing to do with Tu Jingwei. He has just hosted He Fang's movie premieres for so many years. He has also been interviewed by her countless times over the years. They are considered friends. They are just a reminder between friends. As for her listening It's her own business not to listen to her.

"Oh, okay, okay, thank you for your suggestion." Tu Jingwei was stunned for a moment, and then thanked He Fang.

He Fang just smiled and didn't say anything else. It would be nice to have this kind of friendship as a reminder.

Next, Tu Jingwei came on stage with mixed emotions to start hosting this issue's "Premiere" column. He was also hosting the premiere of "Alita: Battle Angel".

"Welcome to the audience and those in front of the TV to watch this "Premiere" program. The movie we are going to premiere today is the new film "Alita: Alita" brought by my country's most famous international director He Fang. Battle Angel".

This movie is a science fiction movie co-starred by powerful actors such as Pan Zhilin, Li Xuejian, Cheng Yi, Sun Honglei, Xie Miao, Xu Qing, etc. The film is adapted from the island country's comic book "Guangmeng".The story of the film is set in the 26th century. It tells the story of a mechanical girl who is lucky enough to be reborn in the end of the world and fights bravely to change the world and embarks on a journey to explore the truth...

Now we move on to the first item of the premiere, the guest red carpet ceremony. First, the creators of "Alita: Battle Angel" are invited to take the stage.

Let us use warm applause to invite Teacher Xie Miao, Teacher Cheng Yi, Teacher Xu Qing, Teacher Sun Honglei, Teacher Li Xuejian, Teacher Pan Zhilin... Finally, let's invite our screenwriter and director Director He Fang to the stage..."

"Click, click, click, click" the flashing lights kept ringing. Fortunately, this was indoors, so everyone was dressed coolly and warmly, and they could also pose in front of reporters.

"He Fang, sign your name, sign your name for me..."

"Pan Zhilin, sign your name..."

Fans on both sides shouted excitedly, so He Fang and the others ran over to help people sign autographs and take photos.

After struggling like this for several minutes, I finally walked up to the host Tu Jingwei.

"Director He Fang, it's the Spring Festival again, and I can see your new film again. Let me tell you what kind of new experience this new film will bring to everyone."

"Well, if no one has seen this anime, you are in luck, because our movie will restore the imagination of the anime to the greatest extent. Of course, we will be more shocking than the anime. This is a very imaginative movie Movies, science fiction + animation style images are a type of science fiction that few people have been exposed to before. I believe you will have a different experience.

Although this is not a movie about fighting aliens, it does have its romance and grandeur. I believe everyone will see all of this when they enter the cinema.Believe me, with my many years of film quality assurance, this is a film that can meet your expectations or even exceed them.

You must watch it during the Spring Festival. Watching it will bring good luck to you in the new year. "He Fang works hard to advertise.

"Well, it seems that Director He Fang has already advertised it, so let me ask Director He another question. Predict the box office of "Alita". How much do you think you can get?" Tu Jingwei asked.

"The domestic box office strives to surpass "Operation Mekong", and the global box office strives to surpass "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
