Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 325
Which is more important, special effects or story?
This question is estimated that neither special effects control nor story control can convince anyone. But undoubtedly, it is possible to win by relying on special effects, and there is only one movie that directly hit Qiao Feng, and that is the Avatar made by James Cameron. .
Qiao Feng can’t remember the story of this film. But the special effects inside are very memorable, and he has communicated with people around him. Basically, all of them are cheering for the gorgeous and exciting special effects of this movie. Few said they were impressed by the stories they told.
And this movie's big sales is also because it is the first movie that really promotes 3d viewing, which is accepted and sought after by the audience.
When the movie was released, the entrances of movie theaters with 3D theaters were surrounded by long queues buying tickets, and they still queued up all night to buy tickets.
This situation, Qiao Feng guessed it was just such a time in the history of movies. I dare not say that the newcomers must be unprecedented.
At that time, it was this movie that completely substituted the audience into the era of special effects blockbusters. Since then, movies, especially Hollywood movies, have increasingly focused on special effects.
But no matter how big the proportion of special effects is, the later blockbuster special effects first have a smooth story. It doesn't matter whether the story is novel or not, whether it is pleasant enough, vulgar or old-fashioned may be better. There is a smooth one. It is a prerequisite to be able to justify the story that the audience can see, otherwise the special effects are useless.
In Qiao Feng's opinion, the importance of stories precedes special effects, and a good story is the basis for the success of a movie.
Unless the ability and luck are as good as James Cameron, there is no good story, and basically no one can make a good movie with special effects.
Just like the New Shushan Swordsman, if the story and plot are still like this, let alone now, it will be more than ten years, and the special effects will not work after a few decades, and it will not become a successful movie.
In the original time and space, Xu Ke’s dissatisfaction with the new Shushan swordsman continued for nearly two decades. Then, after entering the 21st century, Xu Ke felt that special effects technology could meet his requirements, so he restarted a new one. Shushan.
The story is no longer the original story, but Xu Ke's obsession with special effects has not changed. In the middle of a smooth and suitable story and special effects, Xu Ke chose special effects again.
He sacrificed the integrity and fluency of the story for the special effects shots he liked and loved.
In order to film the follow-up work of Shushan Legend, the new Shushan swordsman, Xu Ke invited 4 Hollywood computer stunt companies to help out. During the production process, he also used professional software such as Maya and Softimage, which are heavily used in Hollywood movies, to produce An illusory space that does not exist in the real world.In terms of image calculation, it took a year to complete the image using more than 100 computers linked together, costing more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars.The shooting budget of "The Legend of Shu Mountain" exceeded and exceeded again, and the final budget was close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
However, no matter how good the special effects technology is, no matter how many special effects, more than 1600 special effects shots were used in total, creating the history of special effects shots in Hong Kong movies and Chinese movies at that time. In front of the Zong, it was broken into thousands of pieces, making the audience tremble, as if someone really broke into countless pieces in front of him, and it would splash on himself, but what can he do?
No amount of special effects shots can conceal the story of this movie and the hollowness of the characters.
A commercial film must say what depth, must express what depth, it must be nonsense. But the plot is so pale that you can see the separation of good and evil at a glance, which is too unreadable.
The whole movie is like watching a summary of the story, there is only a skeleton and no flesh at all.
This movie really has enough special effects shots, so many that there is no story content at all, basically it is played from the beginning to the end without breathing, watching people's optic nerves and nerves tired.
This movie can be said to be a perfect interpretation of what it means to be the master,
The original time-space Shushan film Xu Ke failed twice, and the failures were completely complete. Qiao Feng didn't think that Xu Ke could succeed now.
Xu Ke's obsession with special effects is too deep. Qiao Feng doesn't feel that he has the ability to persuade Xu Ke to change. If Xu Ke insists on persuading him, he will end up in separate ways.
Just like the two good friends of the original space-time Xu Ke and Wu Yusen, Wu Yusen first helped Xu Ke, and then Xu Ke helped Wu Yusen. However, after the two people got together, it didn’t take long because of their movie philosophy. The difference caused contradictions, and in the end the good friends completely broke up.
No friends have to do it.
Qiao Feng didn't want to be like this. Fortunately, Qiao Feng and Xu Ke basically didn't have any conceptual conflicts.
As long as Xu Ke doesn't even think about asking Qiao Feng to invest in Shushan or other special effects films that Qiao Feng thinks is not good, Qiao Feng can allow Xu Ke to do whatever he wants.
Want to invest in Xu Ke's special effects film, Qiao Feng felt that at least he would have to make Xu Ke a terrible failure again, just like the miserable defeat of the Shushan Biography in 2001, Xu Ke seemed to wake up from the obsession of special effects. The same.
After several years of precipitation, Xu Ke took another special effects film, but this time the special effects film is Xu Ke's best martial arts special effects film.
Di Renjie’s Heavenly Empire has an investment of 130 million, and the box office in the mainland alone has 300 million. In addition, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan can definitely make a lot of money.
After the Dragon Gate Flying Armor, Di Renjie’s god is the Dragon King, and he outsmarted Tiger Mountain, it can be said to be quite successful, whether from the story, the special effects, or the box office.
Qiao Feng didn’t want to step into Xu Ke’s pit called Shu Mountain. That’s why Qiao Feng told Xu Ke that the current special effects could not produce a good story of Shu Mountain. It will be possible after 20 years, in 1986. Twenty years later, it is already 2006. By then, it is estimated that Xu Ke's Shushan pit must have pitted others.
Or maybe Qiao Summit did give Xu Ke an investment in Shushan, but the movie story and special effects gate Qiao Feng will definitely find someone or come to get stuck in person, anyway, Xu Ke can't let it go.
Of course, it is still very early to think about this. Qiao Feng first drew a pie for Xu Ke, and also let Xu Ke know his attitude in advance. He does not support the shooting of a new Shushan movie in a short time.
In this way, Xu Ke’s head can be avoided, he figured out a new story about Shushan, and then he came to Qiao Feng for investment. At the beginning, Qiao Feng said that as long as Xu Ke comes to his company, what investment Qiao summit is responsible for, even if he does not invest. Will find someone to invest in Xu Ke. Qiao Feng doesn't want to pit himself.
A vaccination in advance can avoid everyone's embarrassment at that time, and will not cause estrangement.
