    In Hollywood, the current special effects companies are actually quite rudimentary, because no company has begun to use special effects on a large scale.  In other words, when it comes to computer special effects, it was only after The Terminator was released that people really started to pay attention to it. After that, countless special effects companies were established, and then countless special effects companies closed down.  Special effects are both popular and not popular in Hollywood.  What's popular is that when you receive an order, the price is often very good.  But the lack of popularity lies in the early stage of special effects companies. If there are no continuous orders, it is normal for them to eventually go bankrupt.  Not to mention the lowest level special effects companies, it is normal for even those large special effects companies to close down or be transferred.  It¡¯s no wonder that in the future, the special effects companies will ask for higher prices. It¡¯s simply because the initial investment is too high and there is no stable source of income. If you don¡¯t sell a customer, it¡¯s a complete waste of resources.  Special effects is a very expensive industry. It is not uncommon for a shot of a few seconds to cost millions of dollars.  Li Mingbao's future film career will definitely expand very widely, especially the mainland market, which is a place not to be missed. With his status, if he establishes a special effects company, it will be inherently easier to take over jobs than the special effects companies in Hollywood.  .  Therefore, such a company must be established, and the sooner it is established, the better.  For others, the special effects company is still in danger of losing money, but for Li Mingbao, if he opens such a special effects company, he can spread the cost very low just for using it in his own movies. The horror film market is the special effects application  In one major field, especially in big-budget horror films, the number of shots used in special effects is not a small amount.  Using movies to support special effects is a good way out for Li Mingbao.  After it develops to a certain scale, there will be additional revenue from receiving external orders.  Therefore, Li Mingbao attaches great importance to the special effects company.  And Li Mingbao¡¯s attention was Mary¡¯s attention, so within two days, the special effects company under DreamWorks was officially established.  And all the special effects technologies used in the company were put into the company, and then the territory was expanded purposefully based on the movie.  In fact, Li Mingbao attaches great importance to special effects and has now established such a special effects company. He has the idea of ????developing special effects and has another unknown purpose, which is to widen the gap between companies.  DreamWorks¡¯ journey to this point was a complete accident.  But since Li Mingbao is determined to make this accident his own, he naturally needs some means to block the eyes of others in the horror film market.  DreamWorks¡¯ current advantage in horror films is that Li Mingbao has brought most of the famous Hollywood horror film directors into his company, but this is not a strong barrier to other companies entering the market.  After all, it¡¯s not surprising that people in Hollywood will do anything if there is a benefit. Even if they can¡¯t poach Li Mingbao¡¯s corner, they will cultivate it themselves when they see a huge benefit.  A group of suitable directors can carve up this market.  For such a situation, Li Mingbao had no way to solve the problem manpowerly, so he could only solve the problem technically.  Special effects companies are a key factor. In the era of rampant special effects in the future, even low-cost movies will use some cheap special effects to enhance the quality of their movies.  After Li Mingbao established a special effects company, he was able to directly block some small speculative companies from this type of film. Because they did not have the funds to make this kind of thing, the quality of the films they produced would be lower. It was obviously to set off DreamWorks.  status.  This company alone can block the eyes of many people who are greedy for the market.  And if someone follows up on special effects technology, they will fall even more into Li Mingbao's network. If they entrust DreamWorks to produce special effects, then their creativity will be used by DreamWorks.  If another special effects company does this, there will be a big cost problem. In addition, they do not have a clear special effects idea, which will waste more money. Compared with Li Mingbao's low cost, they have no advantage.  The most important thing is that the reason why special effects are so expensive does not mean that individual technologies are very expensive. The key lies in the early exploration of special effects companies. They do not know which special effects can be applied to movies.  Development is a large area. Even if the price of a technology is not high, one piece of technology will cost people's lives. In the end, when added up, their costs will be difficult to control.  But people like Li Mingbao have a very complete main line. He does not have to work hard to come up with a lot of useless technologies, and then select useful technologies among these useless technologies. His special effects company can move in the right direction.  .  In this way, his cost will be the lowest among all special effects companies, but his effects will be the most cutting-edge.?On this aspect alone, mature special effects companies can save hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars every year, widening the gap with other special effects companies.  Not only that, the company can also rely on the perfect effect of the special effects to exaggerate the amount of investment in the movie. The special effects that could have been completed for 10 million US dollars, Li Mingbao claimed that it took 50 million US dollars to complete the special effects. This can also increase the company's investment  The momentum, and outsiders can't blame it, because other people's special effects companies really have to spend so much money to produce the same effects as Li Mingbao's movies.  How could Li Mingbao not see all the benefits, so he had high hopes for the special effects company.  Of course, DreamWorks¡¯ special effects company has just started to work on it now. Even the most basic research and development will have to wait for the company to stabilize. It will take at least half a year for it to be effective.  So after Li Mingbao gave Mary the order, Li Mingbao started busy with other things.  Whether you say that a boss like him is irresponsible or that he is too out-of-the-box, Li Mingbao has a very clear mind. In the past, because there were not many people available for him, he had to worry about everything, but now that his subordinates  There are so many suitable talents working for them, and if they still do everything by themselves like they do in Hong Kong, they just look for things to do when they have nothing to do. This kind of boss is almost the same as being a contract worker.  Li Mingbao told Cameron before that he would add an action guide to the filming of The Terminator.  Li Mingbao himself would definitely not be able to do such a thing. Although he himself had learned Wing Chun and was considered a master, he could easily defeat five or six people.  But just because someone can hit doesn¡¯t mean that his moves are good-looking.  There are two types of martial arts: routines and actual combat. Routine is the kind of thing that looks good but has no obvious actual effect. But actual combat is about hitting the target with one hit and knocking people down in one go. In terms of enjoyment, it is basically useless.  .  What Li Mingbao knows is this kind of practical stuff, but what movie shooting requires is the kind of routine stuff, which emphasizes aesthetics, and if you want to show your tricks in the movie, you also need professional knowledge and experience. These things,  Li Mingbao doesn't know that at all.  Therefore, if you want to realize the martial arts stunts in The Terminator, you must find a knowledgeable person. Hong Kong's martial arts instructors will be quite famous around the world twenty or thirty years later, but now, those martial arts instructors are just  I can only hang out in Hong Kong. Many coaches who will be famous in the future are still doing odd jobs. In fact, there are not many people who can really make a name for themselves.  Li Mingbao knew even less.  But there are two people that Li Mingbao will never forget. One is Yuan Baye, who is now working very happily with Chen Long, and the other is Lin Zhenying.  There is no need to explain Yuan Baye's awesomeness. From now on, he will be indispensable in the action director position in Hollywood.  But Lin Zhenying, perhaps the biggest impression everyone has on him is Uncle Ying's role as a Taoist priest from Maoshan. But few people know that Uncle Ying started working in Hollywood earlier than anyone else. At that time, Uncle Ying directly followed Bruce Lee, who was Bruce Lee.  His action guidance even reached the point where Uncle Ying would not make a film if Bruce Lee was not around.  If Bruce Lee hadn¡¯t died early, Uncle Ying would have done quite well in Hollywood.  But once Bruce Lee left, Uncle Ying's glory also declined. It was not until the filming of Maoshan Taoist that Uncle Ying became famous from another angle.  ¡°When it comes to understanding Hollywood, Uncle Ying is definitely much better than Master Ba.  But after much thought, Li Mingbao didn't plan to ask Uncle Ying to come over, but asked Yuan Baye to come over to help.  It's not that Li Mingbao underestimated Uncle Ying's ability, it was mainly because Uncle Ying's style didn't quite fit with Li Mingbao's impression of the Terminator. On the contrary, it was Yuan Baye's good-looking design that suited Li Mingbao's thoughts.  And Li Mingbao also believes that Uncle Ying's market should be as an actor in Hong Kong, rather than coming to Hollywood as an action director. If a genius like Uncle Ying is brought to Hollywood, who else can make Hong Kong's fantasy movies?  What about carrying the flag?  When Li Mingbao was thinking about things in Hollywood, Yuan Baye, who was also a monk in Hong Kong, was confused.  Speaking of which, when Yuan Baye and Li Mingbao were in Hong Kong, they didn't have much interaction at all. In other words, this is still a "golden" statement. In fact, Yuan Baye didn't even meet Li Mingbao a few times.  Even those several meetings were actually not individual meetings, but a group of people meeting Li Mingbao.  Li Mingbao and Yuan Baye had not said a word at all before this phone call.  For two people who were not even casual friends, Li Mingbao suddenly called Yuan Baye and asked him to go to Hollywood and find a job for him.  With such a call, Yuan Baye didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.  Everyone knows that Hollywood is a good place to make money, especially this guy Li Mingbao, if it weren't for the fact that HollywoodWith the money he has earned, he is now not a character that cannot be ignored in the Hong Kong film industry. Even people like him have to look up to others.
