Chapter 389 Millions of troops cross the Yangtze River
"Fake 3D is flooding, just to make money!" - Xinlang News!
"Shocked! Converting to 3D is actually a scam, and you can do it with a computer at home!" - nc news.

"The 3D producer owes the audience an apology!" - Sohu News.

"True 3D? Pseudo-3D? The real face of 3D transformed from dialysis!" —— Mtime.com.

"Exclusively revealed the difference between 3D conversion and 3D movies!" - Zhihu.

In early April, along the desolate Yangtze River.

There were still the last few big scenes left on the beach battlefield. While the crew was preparing, Tang An checked some news.

Basically, websites and media with traffic are discussing these two recently re-transformed 3D movies, and they are all full of curses.

Whether it is the media or the audience, there are not many good things to say.

Even cents who always think that the moon in foreign countries is relatively round rarely come out to wash the ground, which also shows that the conversion to 3D has reached the point where everyone is screaming.

After paying attention to it for several days, apart from the negative marketing of the two films, the promotion of the other domestic films is still going on as usual without any change.

Even if it's aimed at competitors, it shouldn't be aimed at imported movies, not to mention that I have a bad reputation, so I don't want to give myself public relations if I have the energy and money.

Tang An basically guessed that someone was going to mess with him, and it must be Hua Yi.

Attacking Tang An would give "If You Are the One 2" greater confidence in winning the Lunar New Year competition, and it could also save Wang Zhongjun's face. After all, he was poached by Tang An with three executives and a first-line star.

For large companies, especially listed companies, sometimes face is much more important than a mere 3000 million RMB.

As long as "If You Are the One 2" kills Tang An, Chen Kaige, and Jiang Wen, it will greatly improve Huayi's brand.

Not only the value of the stock, but also the movie town plan that Wang Zhongjun is promoting, and he is more confident in convincing Hengda, Biguiyuan and other large real estate groups to cooperate, which is a big project that costs more than one billion.

If you want to do negative marketing for the weakness of "Edge of Tomorrow" converted to 3D, you have to label the converted 3D as a fake 3D.

Before Tang An decided to switch to 3D, he had already thought of a countermeasure, so naturally he would not let him succeed.

Movie quality is king!

In the case of sufficient quality, unless Tang An's publicity resources are far inferior to Huayi, it is impossible to lose.

Tang An is so confident, but the rest of the crew, including the actors, are very nervous.

"Director Tang, do you think it will be effective to convert our movie into 3D?"

"What, are you worried?" Tang An closed the laptop and smiled.

Deng Chao rubbed the back of his head and said worriedly, "A few nights ago I found time to go to the cinema to watch the 3D versions of these two movies, basically there was no 3D effect, especially "Clash of the Gods". I have to take off my glasses in a few minutes, otherwise I can't bear it, and the buddy next to me is already short-sighted and wears glasses, and I feel uncomfortable looking at it."

The others nodded.

"Yeah, "Alice in Wonderland" is better, and "Battle of the Gods" is completely unwatchable."

"I didn't watch it after watching it for half an hour, and went to buy a 2D version, which is much better than the 3D version."

"I was a little tired that night, but I became more dizzy when I saw it."

Tang An stopped their discussion, and said with a smile, "These two movies were made on the spur of the moment, so naturally they didn't have much effect. "Alice in Wonderland" is a little better, it's an animated movie, and most of the scenes were originally shot They are all made in CG, "Clash of the Gods" is basically to cut out those images, do a little depth, and do it casually, of course it is uncomfortable to watch."

"This is called the replacement method, which is equivalent to copying it again, acting as the lens for the left eye and the right eye respectively."

"There is also a projection method, which is to project the converted image virtually, similar to the effect of scene restoration, to form a virtual three-dimensional scene, so as to view the formed three-dimensional effect, and perform relief effect processing to achieve a well-proportioned, well-defined, primary and secondary Obvious and better stereoscopic effect.

Even under ideal conditions, it can exceed the stereoscopic effect of real shooting, and further enhance the stereoscopic effect of the picture. "

"Actually, quite a few shots of "Avatar" were shot in 2D, and then converted into 3D. Let you watch it again, can you see which ones are converted into 3D and which ones are real shots?"

Theoretically, 3D conversion can exceed the effect of real shooting, but it is only a theory, and it consumes a lot of time and labor.

It also depends on what scene is scored. Some scenes are not as good as the conversion effect of 3D real shooting, and some conversions cannot achieve the real shooting effect. Even those real 3D blockbusters have some scenes that are shot in 2D and then 3D converted.

Tang An was here explaining the conversion to 3D and 3D. It didn't take long for the assistant director Zhang Yiping to inform that it was ready and the filming could start.

Tang An clapped his hands and stood up from the chair, and smiled at everyone, "Let's go, I'll show you an epic battle."

This scene is the scene where the army crosses the river. The setting of the script is that the south of the Yangtze River has fallen. The Huaguo military has developed a new generation of exoskeleton mechs. Victory is preparing to launch a general attack on aliens.

The battles in the original film are still a bit small, unlike everything else, it is at most a local battle.

As the first sci-fi blockbuster in which Huaguo saves the world, its significance is undoubtedly huge.

Moreover, in Han Sanping's report, the American Hollywood giant intends to purchase the global copyright, so that audiences all over the world can watch the movie on the big screen.

This is not only to show the strength of the country to the common people, to give the masses a sense of security, but also to allow people all over the world to experience the military strength of the country of Hua.

Opto passed the report to the Propaganda Department, then to the Ministry of Defense, and then the Military Commission for approval.

The Nanjing Air Force Military District dispatched half an air division, 50 combat aircraft of various types, and dozens of auxiliary aircraft.

The East China Sea Fleet, one of my country's three major fleets based in Ningbo, dispatched two destroyer brigades, and a total of 8 other transport ships for transporting armored vehicles and tanks.

Aircraft carriers are impossible. Big guys like battleships have long been eliminated, and there are no such things.

However, the military promised to provide some aircraft carrier videos, which can be added later.

Later, the aircraft carrier that appeared in "Wolf Warrior 2" was extracted from other video materials and added in.

The number of warships and fighter jets is still not enough, so they can only be modeled and produced in the later stage. The military can also provide part of the appearance data, which saves most of the calculation time.

There are also coastal defense forces on the shore, equipped with shore-to-ship missiles.

All the troops were ready, and the 6 helicopters for aerial photography took off.

In addition to aerial photography, this shooting also used 8 photographers to shoot close-ups everywhere.

After confirming all the details, the blasting team coordinated the time with military commanders and fighters. After half an hour, the shooting began.

Thousands of group performances and hundreds of officers and soldiers are ready, and the decks of each transport ship are already full of soldiers wearing exoskeleton mechs, neatly lined up.

These exoskeletons that don't use close-up shots are a little simpler than those used in filming, and they don't look much different from a distance.

As the director, Tang An couldn't go up to the sky to see this grand event, so he sat in front of the monitor on the shore and yelled "Let's go!"
With high spirits and high spirits, millions of troops cross the Yangtze River!

Twenty or thirty warships of various types set sail and whistled. They were full of soldiers, armored vehicles, and tanks. The missiles on the warships were also ready to go.

In the sky, large transport planes transported teams of mech soldiers to the opposite bank, and more than 50 fighter jets roared past in battle order.

Coastal defense forces and warships fired missiles at the opposite side angrily.

The cruise missiles and machine guns carried by the bombers also plowed the ground.

Originally, Tang An wanted the military to use live ammunition, but there was no one on the other side, so he waited until he had landed before planting explosives.

But was ruthlessly rejected.

The first scene was filmed for more than an hour, and it was an extremely simple exercise for the army, without any difficulty.

Then the landing scene was filmed for another two full days, and this location was completely over.

PS: The eyes are very uncomfortable these two days. Basically, after staring at the screen for five or six seconds, I can’t help but close my eyes. It’s sore and swollen, and my head is dizzy. I hope everyone can understand.
