"It's so realistic, it's breathtaking." It took a long while for Lizhi to recover, and then her beautiful eyes flashed with admiration.

Qiao Feng nodded in agreement, it was really amazing.

In the entire movie history, no matter in Europe, America, Asia, or other regions, there are few sequels that can surpass the previous ones.

But the Terminator is definitely an exception.

Terminator 1 is a powerful beginning, but Terminator 2 does not have a stubborn dog. It is rare to surpass Terminator 1 in terms of story and artistic value.

The entire Terminator series, as far as Qiao Feng has seen, are very good, but to say the pinnacle must be said to be the second one.

When he shot Terminator 1, Cameron didn't have any fame, he didn't have much investment, and he couldn't say much about his experience.

But now is different.

After "Terminator" in 1984, Cameron received widespread attention in the film industry and got the opportunity to direct the science fiction film "Alien 2".

You must know that the first "Alien" was directed by Hollywood director Ledley Scott. Both the word of mouth and the box office are very good. No one thinks that anyone can surpass it.

But Cameron once again proved his talent in this area. His self-written and directed "Alien 2" is not inferior to the first episode in all aspects, and it also bears a distinctive Cameron brand.

After "Alien 2", Cameron still did not film the "Terminator" sequel, but made a personally meaningful science fiction film "The Abyss", in this slightly dull film discussing the communication between humans and alien life In, Cameron used a lot of computer-generated images, which is a very cutting-edge technology, "Abyss" also set a milestone for the development of film special effects.

There is a scene in the film. It is said that the alien turns into a water column and runs into a human submarine to contact humans. The effect of the liquid transforming into a human face is amazing.

Although Cameron has never prepared to shoot Terminator 2, it does not mean that he is still the same Cameron.

Whether it is Alien 2 that has a good reputation at the box office or a reputation that is better than the abyss of the box office, this is a proper special effects blockbuster.

The special effects used in it are all the most cutting-edge, top and most cutting-edge special effects technology.

It can be said that although Cameron has made three or two films in the past few years, he has played all the best and latest special effects technology.

Now shooting Terminator 2, Cameron’s years of accumulated experience are all used.

This film is expected to invest 60 million U.S. dollars, and the actual investment may be as big as Cameron’s urgency of a mega production of 100 million U.S. dollars, which is definitely a record of investment in Hollywood movies.

And why Terminator 2 is the pinnacle of the Terminator series, firstly, because Schwarzenegger is the same year in appearance, body shape and acting, and secondly, it is also the most important thing, that is, special effects and super big brain holes.

One-third of the huge investment is expected to go to special effects. This is comparable to the 60% to 70% of the investment in the movies of later generations, which is given to the actors, and the remaining 30% to 40% is the production cost. .

One-third is spent on special effects, another third is other production costs, and the remaining one-third is the salary and compensation of the cast and crew.

And the starring Schwarzenegger in the pay is the majority, but it is only 10 million US dollars in pay.

Of course, this remuneration is absolutely sky-high at this time, and only a few superstars can get it.

This is also one of the reasons why the investment in sequel movies will generally be much larger, that is, because of the success of the previous film, the remuneration of the actors has to be greatly increased.

But this is still an extremely reasonable investment share ratio.

The result of the extremely reasonable share ratio must be that the sophisticated production gives the audience unparalleled audio-visual enjoyment.

Schwarzenegger's performance in "Terminator 2" is more mature. In addition to continuing to shuttle through the bullets, the relationship between him and Xiao Kangna is like a father and son, which has moved many fans.

Schwarzenegger’s weapons and equipment are fully upgraded in this episode,

But what is cooler than the T-800 played by Schwarzenegger is the villain terminator in the film-T-1000, he is a liquid metal robot, more advanced than T-800.

The production of T-800 in Terminator 2 has made considerable progress from the Terminator 1 that year.

The T-800 in Terminator 2 is no longer a simple model, it has been given more science and technology content in it.

Because what appeared in front of Qiao Feng and Li Zhi was not the immovable model of the year, but could be counted as a real robot.

If you don’t get closer, you won’t be able to tell that it is fake just by looking at the face.

Stan Winston, the chief special effects master of Industrial Light and Magic, took his staff to make a scale model of Schwarzenegger's head.

Then the head is filled with artificial skin that can simulate 90%, and the muscles are filled with special materials.

After that, it’s not a big deal. The model head covered with artificial skin has reached 80% similarity, but Industrial Light and Magic still has the top artists to make up the model.

The makeup of later generations can make ugly monsters into big beauties and handsome guys.

At this time, the make-up technique is not bad at all. After the fine art makeup is made up to the hair, the similarity of the mold head can reach 99% similarity.

Just like those celebrities in later generations who made particularly good wax figures, standing with people who are not professionally making them personally, there is absolutely no difference between the true and the false.

"If this movie can be successful, this special effect will definitely account for 50% of the factor." Seeing the special effects artists and artists working on each point in detail, Li Zhi couldn't help sighing.

"Well, yes." Qiao Feng nodded in agreement.

The most powerful special effect in Terminator 2 is definitely not T-800, but T-1000.

The T-1000 can be arbitrarily deformed (but cannot be turned into a complex machine or something larger or smaller than it), and the body can be recovered if it is pierced or broken into pieces.

Making such a character is definitely a challenge for Stan Winston and Industrial Light & Magic. Unlike T-800, which can be modeled, it is impossible for T-1000 to use model and makeup in the same way as the first part. carry out.

The special effects team of Industrial Light and Magic thought of computer-generated image technology (CGI) and computer synthesis technology. At this time, there were not many using this technology. Similar technology was used in Cameron's "Abyss".

The alien in the abyss turned into a water column and ran into the human submarine to contact humans. The effect of the liquid transforming into a human face is amazing. In a sense, it is actually a comparison of the liquid metal robot in "Terminator 2" A preview of.

But the amount of shots and "Terminator 2" can not be compared.T-1000 is an epoch-making achievement in the history of movie special effects.
