Chapter 342 Exoskeleton Mecha (Please subscribe for the third update! Please ask for a monthly pass!)
Chang Hongsong and Xiao Yang looked at the concept map seriously. Although Tang An's art skills were mediocre, he could at least tell them what it was. It had everything it should have, and it was not a work of art.

Tang An was not in a hurry, he leaned on the chair with his legs crossed and waited.

After three or four minutes, they exchanged drawings, and it took another few minutes to put them down.

The two looked at each other, and Chang Hongsong said.

"Mr. Tang, your drawing is very intuitive, and we immediately have a three-dimensional image in our minds."

Chang Hongsong boasted again, this is not to be afraid of farts, these pictures are definitely not beautiful.

But Tang An has worked as a director for so many years and has seen countless drawings of art drawings. The most basic thing is to let others know what you are drawing.

Otherwise, no matter how gorgeous it is, no matter how good the color is, it's useless, and you won't even take a look at it.

"Mr. Tang, this shouldn't be a power armor, right? Hollywood sci-fi movies should use less mechas." Chang Hongsong first raised his own question.

Xiao Yang answered immediately, "This should be similar to the exoskeleton in "Special Forces", but it's a little different."

Compared with Chang Hongsong who is switching to management, Xiao Yang knows a little better.

Tang An nodded, "That's right, this is an exoskeleton, which is a bit different from the "Special Forces" released in the summer."

Tang An took one of the drawings and began to talk about his thoughts, "The exoskeleton is not power armor. One of the important reasons is its highly modular main frame. The suits that appear in this picture are more flexible and equipped with weapons. There is a relatively balanced relationship with the defense force, focusing on protecting the torso, forearm, and legs, which are more important for combat. This concept comes from the cuirassiers in the era of queuing and shooting. In order to increase flexibility, they Only some of the main torso was protected."

Chang Hongsong and the others nodded. Judging from the blueprints, this is not the iron man's whole body covered with iron bars, which can't see people, but protects some key parts.

Xiao Yang asked again, "If you are fighting alien creatures, even if you are hit elsewhere, you will be seriously injured."

"Mr. Xiao is right, but if you want to cover the whole body, you will lose your flexibility. The armor worn by the soldier is mainly to protect him from the attack so that he can continue to fight, not to stand there and take half of the body." To attack an unscathed artifact for hours, to pursue the defensive power of Tony Stark is to be utopian."

"This is a design issue, and it's also related to the plot. Don't worry about it." Tang An said with a smile.

Since it was related to the plot, Xiao Yang didn't say anything anymore.

Tang An continued, "Then comes the attack method. The main weapons used for the firing effect are gunpowder and Gaussian propulsion, and its fire control system and weapon safety are integrated in the handle of the forearm weapon rack, and some are operated by buttons."

"It's at this position." Tang An pointed to the arm on the drawing and said.

"4 firing points that can be fired at the same time: the firearms of the two-handed assembly, and the weapons stored in the telescopic mechanical arm on the back, small-caliber guns and guided rocket pods."

These soldiers in the movie are similar to paratroopers who airborne behind enemy lines, without armored vehicles and artillery support, and more emphasis on individual combat capabilities.

In addition, the distance of firefighting with alien tentacle monsters within 200 meters has already determined the principle of exoskeleton carrying firearms: the more guns and ammunition you carry, the better, and the more violent the firepower within the same time period, the better.

"Then what style do these weapons use?" Chang Hongsong asked.

Tang An thought about it and said, "Using the top-level equipment of the same type in our country as the prototype, it looks more lethal and more mysterious. You can make a few more plans. I'll take a look when the three-dimensional map comes out. "

Chang Hongsong nodded, "No problem."

Now advertising requires a few more plans, let alone such an important thing.

"The weapons on the back robotic arm should be capable of non-direct aiming and curved shooting. When using them, the free movement of the hands will not be affected. The weapons on both arms use magazines, but the process of changing magazines is automatic. It is bound on the rotorcraft as a turret. belt-fed when used. Spare ammo, pistols like PDW and grenades are stored inside the tactical vest and leg sleeves worn inside."

"These two sets are somewhat different from the standard suits. One set does not have a weapon rack for both hands and supporting firearms, and there are fewer armor plates on the legs than the standard set. The other set is a bit thicker, with larger machine guns and artillery."

This is the one for the heroine. People use a ship-cutter knife, so be flexible.

The other set of thick ones provides heavy fire support. These exoskeleton soldiers are in teams of ten, and each team is equipped with a heavy weapon hand.

The price of thick armored cannons is slow movement. In the movie, the first teammate who received a lunch box was wearing this heavy armor suit and was smashed alive after he failed to avoid the downed rotorcraft after a successful airborne.

It was not until after one o'clock in the afternoon that Tang An explained clearly his thoughts, the characteristics of all exoskeletons, the attack methods and characteristics of mimicry.

Although it is enough to make special effects just for the appearance, only by fully understanding can we really do it well.

Chang Hongsong looked at the time, only to realize that it was already past lunch time, and quickly said apologetically, "Mr. Tang, it's getting late. I've reserved a place at a nearby hotel, why don't we go have dinner first."

"Alright." Tang An nodded.

I haven't felt any better after talking about it all morning, and I feel a little hungry when I stop.

Came to a hotel next door, four-star, passable.

After eating two bites, we still have to talk about things. In China, there is no one who can concentrate on eating half of the job.

"Mr. Pang, the exoskeleton mecha needs to be made first. It will be used for this shooting, and after the shot script is out, you can calculate the specific time-consuming, cost, and what hardware and software are needed. You can decide on your own. In this regard, you It is professional. If the funds are not enough, Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen and I can invest a little more.”

Tang An didn't say that he prepaid the special effects fee before the project started, and he is not a bad person.

The company didn't have enough start-up funds, so they just increased their investment and increased their own shares. In the end, the profits from the special effects fees were not shared by several of their shareholders.

"No problem, Mr. Tang. In the afternoon, I will have someone make a three-dimensional model first, and make a few more. After Mr. Tang decides, he will have someone start making the exoskeleton mech immediately, so as to ensure that it meets your requirements." Chang Hongsong readily agreed.

This is also impossible. If there is no technology but no capital, the company must accept external funds if it wants to develop, and it is inevitable that their shares will be diluted.

Otherwise, when you develop slowly, others in the same industry will have already come ahead of you.

Any fool knows how to choose between 5% of Fujixun's shares and 100% of a small company's shares.

Tang An also said that Ye Jintian would come over tomorrow to study with them as the art director of the film.

After all, the things you make still have to be photogenic. Maybe the real thing is handsome, but it doesn’t look good in the camera.

The crew has always been a whole, and photography, lighting, art, props, and makeup must be coordinated with each other.

After eating, I went back to Tiangong Yicai and had a chat with the designer who made the three-dimensional images.

Almost when the exoskeleton mechs are finished, the scripts, actors and other preparations should be ready on his side.

Leaving Tiangong Yicai and going home directly, I will go to Huayi tomorrow and ask Chen Guofu to help find the location.

Most of the shots in this movie were shot in real life, and the actors had to be found first, so that the actors could adapt to the exoskeleton mecha.
