- Lin Qingxia was surprised when she heard this and couldn't help but ask: "Did you really invest 100 million in this "Tomb Robber"?"
"Yes, this is a special effects blockbuster. The shooting cost is only 20 million, but the production of special effects requires 80 million. Special effects are very expensive, even if there is special effects production software. You must know that the same thing is produced in the United States. For a special effects blockbuster, these 80 million would have to be converted into U.S. dollars. The special effects production software invented by my friend has already saved me a lot of money!"
"With such a high investment, do you think you can get your money back? You know, Hong Kong has never made special effects blockbusters. I participated in one, and the result was a huge loss!"
Wang Yiyi laughed and said: "Are Sister Qingxia talking about the "New Shushan Swordsman" filmed by Old Monster Xu? Haha, don't worry, my "Tomb Robbers" will not end up like that. Wait until Sister Qingxia watches it. You will know after reading the script. The important thing is that my film is oriented to the international community. It will not be incomprehensible to foreigners like "New Legend of Shushan Swordsman", and it will not only focus on special effects but not the plot. Secondly, this film Even if I really lose money, I don't care. I just want the whole of Hong Kong and the whole of Asia to know about my movie and know that our company has such a set of amazing effects, and the special effects production is better than the American Industrial Light and Magic. Just software!¡±
"So, your main purpose of making this movie is to promote your friend's special effects production software?"
"Well, this can be considered one of the purposes. What do you think, Sister Qingxia%, are you willing to join? Considering that you were recommended by Xiaoqian and you are an actress that I admire very much, I can give you five million in salary to sign the contract Then I will pay you a lump sum, so that you can take pictures with confidence!¡±
""
After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Qingxia finally agreed to join "Tomb Raiders" and play the heroine.
It wasn¡¯t the 5 million salary that impressed her, but mainly that she was impressed by Wang Yiyi¡¯s confidence. In addition, I was very curious about the special effects production software mentioned by Wang Daodao, so I joined it.
The next night, TVB began to broadcast the cartoon "Qin Shi Mingyue" produced by Wang Yiyi. Lin Qingxia was immediately shocked after watching it. Her doubts about Wang Yiyi were gone and she began to look forward to the movie "Tomb Raiders". Come.
"Qin Shi Mingyue" is because it is a cartoon. Although it is not a cartoon for children, TVB still broadcasts it at 5 pm and only plays one episode every day.
Although five o¡¯clock is the time when people in Xiangjiang start cooking dinner, many people still saw this cartoon.
The theme song sung by Zhang Xueyou, the unprecedented CG animation effects, and the exciting and suspenseful plot make people unable to take their eyes away after watching it.
As a result, not only children were attracted, but adults were also attracted.
The ratings for the first episode of "Qin Shi Mingyue" were only 14 points. It reached 20 points on the second day, and suddenly reached 25 points on the third day. The ratings not only surpassed the drama "Burning Rain" currently broadcast by ATV, but even came close to the TV drama "This Life". No Regrets".
People in Xiangjiang, regardless of gender or age, as long as they have watched "Qin Shi Mingyue", they will be attracted by this unprecedented historical martial arts cartoon. They will forget to change the channel or do other things, and will finish watching the entire episode without realizing it. After watching an episode. Many people found it unsatisfactory and called wireless stations one after another to request to play two or three episodes a day.
It¡¯s a pity that this is a cartoon. In addition, Tianxia Comics Company still needs to publish comics. Even if Wang Da can produce all five animations of "Qin Shi Mingyue" with hundreds of episodes in one go, it is impossible to agree to broadcast two or three episodes every day, two or three times. Just finished playing.
Fortunately, after the wireless station saw the influence of "Qin Shi Mingyue", although it did not agree to broadcast two or three episodes in a row, it did arrange a rebroadcast. That is, after playing once at 5 p.m. It will be played again at 7am the next morning.
In this way, if you missed "Qin Shi Mingyue" at night due to work, you can still see it when you have breakfast the next day.
Within a week, almost everyone in Xiangjiang knew about this cartoon, and the ratings not only beat the TVB drama. It also set an unprecedented ratings record for cartoons.
When Jin Yong, the famous master of martial arts novels, also watched this cartoon and wrote a review in Ming Pao, giving a big "like", the fame of "Qin Shi Mingyue" immediately spread overseas.
There are TV stations in Baodao, Nanyang, Japan, South Korea, and even inland countries that are contacting Tianxia Comics Company to acquire the rights to broadcast on overseas TV stations.
Ma Rongcheng was in pain and happy.
The comic single volume of "Qin Shi Mingyue" has been put on the shelves for sale. Due to the influence of wireless broadcasts, it was sold out as soon as it was released. It did not take long to break the sales set by his "Chinese Heroes" and his new work "Wind and Cloud" record.
Buy comic book listCustomers of this book are in awe of a treasure. A tenth-level professional painting skill is not a guarantee. Almost every page of paintings is of high quality, and there are even one or two figure paintings that are comparable to master-level paintings.
?Those who are addicted to collecting have realized that such comics are definitely high-quality products worth collecting, and may be sold for a high price in a few years.
The popularity of "Qin Shi Mingyue" naturally cannot fail to attract the attention of the media. Almost all newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong sent reporters to investigate and covertly investigate, and finally got first-hand information from Ma Rongcheng, the president of Tianxia Comics Company.
Wang Dao, the author of "Qin Shi Mingyue", was born in the mainland. He once studied in the United States and studied in the Directing Department of the Film School of the University of Southern California. He has successfully graduated.
When I was studying at the Film School of the University of Southern California, I met some like-minded Chinese friends. One of them, Wang Da, had amazing talents in computer programming and software development and developed a software for film special effects production.
Wang Dao used the special effects production software developed by Wang Da to produce twenty episodes of the 3D effect animation series "Qin Shi Mingyue" in just one month.
Wang Dao also has an amazing talent for music creation. He composed the theme song, ending song and interlude of "Qin Shi Mingyue", which was unanimously praised by Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, two Hong Kong music masters.
After Wang Dao graduated from the Film School of the University of Southern California in the United States, he came to Xiangjiang with several like-minded friends such as Wang Da and collaborated with Xiao Qian, who became famous for her role as the heroine in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and was known as the "most beautiful ghost". , acquired the "Yingzhijie Film Company" that went bankrupt due to "Days of Being Wild" and changed its name to "Qianlong Film Company".
Secondly. Wang Dao also acquired 51% of the shares of Feitu Records, becoming the largest shareholder and actual controller of Feitu Records.
Wang Dao wants to use special effects production software to shoot a special effects blockbuster with the best and most exciting special effects in Hong Kong, with an investment of up to 100 million. Lin Qingxia has been cast as the heroine, and Cheng Long was originally cast as the male lead. However, because Cheng Long went to Africa to film "Eagle Project", a newcomer named Lu Xiaofeng was replaced.
This newcomer named Lu Xiaofeng is Wang Dao¡¯s classmate. He studied film and television acting at the University of Southern California Film School. He has good acting skills and is also a kung fu master.
Wang Dao invested 100 million in a special effects blockbuster called "Tomb Robbers". It is an archaeological adventure film that is somewhat similar to Cheng Long's "Eagle Project", but it has a bit of a magical color.
"All the characters in "Tomb Robbers" have been selected and filming is about to begin. Wang Dao will serve as the director himself, and it is said that he also wrote the script.
¡¡
After several days of overt and covert investigations, Xiangjiang media reporters got so much information.
The most important and eye-catching news about these news is that Wang Da developed special effects production software that produced 20 episodes of the "Qin Shi Mingyue" animated series in just one month. And there is news that the heroine of the special effects blockbuster "Tomb Raider", which Wang Dao invested 100 million yuan, is Lin Qingxia.
As soon as the report was released, the entire Hong Kong film and television industry was shocked.
No matter it¡¯s Golden Harvest, New Art City, Debao, the discontinued Shaw Brothers, or the bosses of Yongsheng Film Company, which is said to be secretly controlled by the Qinglong Gang, they can¡¯t help but pay attention to these news.
The name Wangdao also attracted their attention.
It¡¯s not that the investment of 100 million shocked them, but the special effects production software developed by Wang Da was so amazing.
The bosses of these film companies have all watched "Qin Shi Mingyue" broadcast by wireless stations, and naturally know the high level of this animated series.
Even the Disney Company in the United States may not be able to produce such a high-level 3D animation, let alone produce twenty episodes in just one month.
¡°If this thing is true, then there will be a big earthquake in the film and television industry in Hong Kong.
? ? If amazing special effects production software, if only it were so easy to use. And if the price is not high, Hong Kong's movies can enter the era of special effects blockbusters like American movies. Maybe you can shoot a special effects blockbuster like "Star Wars" for not much money.
Of course, whether all this can be realized depends on the effect of Wang Dao's so-called 100 million special effects blockbuster "Tomb Robbers" after it is produced?
¡°If it¡¯s just a special effects film like ¡°The Legend of the New Shushan Swordsman¡± or a garbage film like ¡°The Legend of the Swordsman¡± after it¡¯s filmed, then it¡¯s all just a joke.
It means that the special effects production software can only produce cartoons!
Out of these considerations, the bosses of the film company in Xiangjiang have a surprisingly tacit understanding. He did not make any comments or suppress Wang Dao, a newcomer who had entered the Hong Kong film and television industry, and was calmly waiting for the release of his special effects blockbuster "Tomb Raiders".
Journalists from Hong Kong newspapers all want toInterviews with Wang Yiyi, Wang Da or Lin Qingxia confirmed the news, but no one could be found.
Wang Yiyi and the actors of "Tomb Robbers" have already hid at the filming site of Qianlong Film Company and started a closed shooting plan.
Because of the support of Wang Da's special effects production program, "Tomb Raider" does not need to go to the desert to shoot. Therefore, Wang Yiyi directly asked someone to set up a huge green screen at the filming location in the backyard of Qianlong Film Company. Let a group of actors put on makeup and perform directly in front of the green screen.
Lin Qingxia and other actors were surprised by Wang Yiyi's filming method, but they had already received the money and signed the contract, so they had to comply. In addition, these actors had already seen the effects of "Qin Shi Mingyue" and had a little confidence in Wang Da's special effects production software, so they did not question Wang Yiyi.
"Performing in front of a green screen requires risky acting skills, but almost all of the actors Wang Yiyi hired are serious and dedicated, and several of them have won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress and Supporting Actor. In addition, Wang Yiyi's "Tomb Robbery" script was a split-shot script drawn directly using his professional level 10 painting skills, and the drawing was almost as exquisite as a comic.
Not only is it detailed, but every action and expression of each actor is also drawn. Lin Qingxia and others were familiar with these storyboards, so they just had to follow the script, which didn't take much effort.
The only troublesome part is the action scenes.
Although Wang Yitong is responsible for the action himself, Lu Xiaofeng is a master from martial arts novels, and his kung fu and understanding are far beyond that of any action star. Wang Yiyi's action scenes are thrilling and comical, and the style is somewhat similar to Cheng Long's. Lu Xiaofeng did a good job, but the supporting characters and supporting actors who played with him were not.
These supporting actors who fought with Lu Xiaofeng were all employees of the original Yingzhijie Company. In order to save money, Wang Yiyi did not hire dragon and tiger martial arts masters and let them go into battle directly. He thought that with his personal guidance and Lu Xiaofeng's superb skills, it would not be difficult to complete these action scenes, but the result left him speechless.
After being stuck for more than ten times in a row. Wang Yiyi finally gave in and gave Wang Da a sum of money to contact the Longhu martial arts masters of Hongjiaban or Yuanjiaban.
After these experienced dragon and tiger warriors who had acted with Cheng Longhong Jinbao and others came, the situation turned out smoothly. Within three days, the fighting effect was produced that Wang Yiyi was very satisfied with.
In less than a week, all the action scenes related to the extras were completed, and the filming progress of "Tomb Raiders" is nearly halfway. It is estimated that it will be completed in another week at most.
Wang Yiyi was very satisfied with the rapid filming progress, but the main actors such as Lin Qingxia and Wu Zhenyu couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Actors such as Lin Qingxia and Wu Zhenyu have made many movies and have also been shot in front of a green screen. But what makes them suspicious is how can a special effects blockbuster with an investment of 100 million be shot in front of a green screen from beginning to end without changing the location once?
Is that so-called special effects production software really so powerful that it can even create environmental backgrounds without any flaws?
Even if this special effects production software is really that powerful, any environment and background can be created, but is it necessary? How troublesome can it be to change the venue to suit the occasion? If it were really shot in front of a green screen from beginning to end, and the environment and background were all synthesized by special effects production software, how much would it cost? Wouldn't it be such a waste?
No matter how much money you have, there is no need to spend it like that!
After shooting like this for a week. The doubts in the minds of these actors reached their peak, and some people couldn't help but wonder whether the 100 million investment Wang Yiyi said was just a scam. In fact, he just invested several millions, maybe less than one million, but deliberately hyped it to 100 million, in order to deceive the audience into selling tickets and entering the cinema?
Even Lin Qingxia, who had already received a salary of five million, had such doubts in her heart.
The most suspicious person is Zeng Shiwei, who plays the heroine¡¯s brother.
Because Wu Mengta was going to film "The Dragon Back to School" with Zhou Xingxing, Wang Dayi thought of Zeng Shiwei, the actor Luye, who was more famous than Wu Mengta, so Wang Da tentatively contacted him, and finally successfully recruited him.
It's just that Wang Yiyi didn't expect Zeng Shiwei to be willing to join "Tomb Raiders". It was for his special effects production software.
¡°After filming for a week in front of a green screen, Zeng Shiwei became suspicious of Wang Yiyi.
Especially after a week of observation, Zeng Shiwei discovered a huge problem.
The cameraman Wang Da who controls the camera next to director Wang Yiyi is definitely an amateur, and the lens of his camera almost never moves. What's even stranger is that the camera's film seems to have never been changed.
Zeng Shiwei is also a director. sinceHowever, we know that the film film used in the camera controlled by Wang Da is 35mm. A box is 400 feet long. Basically, it can only shoot for four minutes before having to change a box.
"But Zeng Shiwei secretly observed that Wang Da's camera had a box of film that he had not changed during the entire day of shooting.
Zeng Shiwei, who felt extremely strange in his heart, took advantage of the absence of his role to pretend to drink water and rest, walked behind Wang Da, and looked towards the camera controlled by Wang Da.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????off out, Zeng Shiwei suddenly felt like 10,000 grass-mud horses were stepping on them, and 10,000 crows were floating above his head.
Damn it, this camera is not turned on at all!
Is this Wang Yiyi a liar? Is he just playing tricks on them by investing 100 million and letting them act in front of a green screen for a week?
No, if he is a liar, what is the purpose of doing this?
Could it be that Wang Yiyi and Wang Da are both delusional mental patients?
Thinking of this, Zeng Shiwei couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and his legs could not help but tremble.
¡¡
After the seventh day of filming, Zeng Shiwei, who suspected that Wang Yiyi and Wang Da were mentally ill, secretly made appointments with the actor Lu Xiaofeng, the actress Lin Qingxia, the villain Wu Zhenyu, Ye Yuxin, and Peter Lai who played the actor's comrade Benny. We met privately and explained our findings and speculations.
Lu Xiaofeng remained calm, while Lin Qingxia and others were shocked and half-believed in Zeng Shiwei's statement.
However, Zeng Shiwei could not help but swore again and again that he was not lying, so Lin Qingxia and others decided to go to Wang Yiyi to ask him about the matter.
"If what Zeng Shiwei said is true, even Lin Qingxia, who has received Wang Daodao's 5 million salary, will insist on returning the money and leaving, so as not to become a laughing stock in the future.
Lu Xiaofeng had no objection to this and followed Lin Qingxia, Zeng Shiwei and others to Wang Yiyi's office.
When I arrived at Wang Yiyi¡¯s office, I saw Wang Yiyi showing a movie on the small screen in front of his office.
Seeing Lin Qingxia and others coming in, Wang Yiyi greeted him enthusiastically: "Why are you here? I was just asking Wang Da to find you! Come on, come and sit down. I have already talked to Wang Da about the filming of this week. I worked overtime overnight to edit for fifteen minutes and added special effects. Let¡¯s see how it turns out!¡±
Lin Qingxia, Wu Zhenyu and others couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. After taking a look at Zeng Shiwei, they all knew the reason and did not mention that they came to see Wang Yiyi. They came to sit next to Wang Yiyi without saying a word and sat down with Wang Yiyi. Watch the video together.
"Whether what Zeng Shiwei said is true or false, you will know after watching the video!" (To be continued) i1292 - Didn't finish reading?
