Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 816 Xu Ke's Special Effects Dream
"Listen to Xu Ke, the people from the special effects company are ready to take over the special effects of this film?" Wang Cuxian asked concerned.
The first special effects Wang Cuxian still remembers clearly that Qiao Feng’s special effects company was still in the state of technology accumulation, and the investment was not very large at the time, and the special effects budget was not much.
Therefore, from the beginning, the special effects were made with earthen methods.
I have to say that Xu is currently the most popular technical control among Chinese, and Cheng Xiaodong is also a rare person in Wuzhi who likes to ponder special effects technology.
How about Cheng Xiaodong is a versatile Wuzhi, he can design the actions the director wants according to the requirements of all the directors, and he can also use his brain to make very realistic and magical props to match his work when shooting gods and monsters. Action design.
When Xu Ke met Cheng Xiaodong, the duo was called "a fellow man who strives to serve the past for the present and the foreign for China in the field of fantasy and romance".
Back then, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was only part of the special effects technology, and it was destined to be full of extraordinary splendor of breaking through tradition and boldly innovating.
Xu Cheng joined hands to create distinctive light and shadow technology with novel technology combined with indigenous steelmaking, just like in "New Shushan Swordsman". On the one hand, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was inspired by overseas special effects production processes and received "new visual effects" "Help, so as to create scenes such as the tree demon sucking blood, resurrecting the corpse, and saving the beauty from the underworld, especially the protagonist breaks into the ghost gate, fights with the magical warfare, is bitten by the ghost heads out of the nest, and even the soul comes out of the body, and the sword kills the enemy. , From the beginning to the end, the oriental colors are displayed in the bizarre and mysterious, such a strong visual effect, thanks to the excellent special effects design.
On the other hand, Xu Ke and Cheng Xiaodong also specially invented some earth-style special effects for the film. This is especially reflected in the huge tongue of "grandma": the aggressive and terrifying tongue like a monster of the opposite sex is essentially a long dyed sponge. The momentum of its sweeping attack is made by the staff constantly pulling outside the camera and tapping under the floor with wooden sticks, but the effect is not so beautiful for the computer special effects, and it also reflects the superb creativity of the two.
"Speaking of which, Xu Ke should be the director who has made the most special effects films in Hong Kong?" Wang Cuxian said with some sigh.
"Well, yes." Qiao Feng nodded after thinking.
From Xinshu Mountain Swordsman to the Queen’s Secret Order of the Best Partner, to Happy Ghost Crashing Ghost, to A Chinese Ghost Story, to Ironclad Invincible Maria, to Happy Ghost Saving Happy Ghost, Xu Ke can let him or the director every time, Or the supervised movie presents more exciting and different special effects to the audience.
"I thought you were going to shoot Terminator 2 in the U.S. and cooperate with Industrial Light & Magic. Xu Ke will definitely invite a few people from Industrial Light & Magic to do special effects. I didn't expect him to talk to Chen Jia. After doing it once, it is decided that your company will do all the special effects."
"Because our company's special effects don't need to be as bad as Industrial Light and Magic at the moment." Qiao Feng smiled very contentedly.
Although Chen Jiashang is now a director, he is the veteran of the special effects company and the earliest person in charge.
The company's accumulation of special effects and many of the creativity of the films that participated in the production have the shadow of Chen Jiashang.
Therefore, Chen Jiashang is regarded as the director who knows most about special effects in Hong Kong, and he also knows the business capabilities of Qiao Feng, a special effects company with a large capital, best.
Since Chen Jia said that his own special effects company has enough capacity, Xu Ke can no longer go to the expensive Industrial Light and Magic even in order to support his own market.
"Chen Jia said that Xu is the person who can use special effects most in Hong Kong." Wang Cuxian laughed.
"This is really true. Of course, Chen Jiashang understands the special effects better than Xu Ke, but if you say you can use it, you can use it well. It is Xu Ke that can make the movie more colorful when used." Qiao Feng recognized this evaluation.
I have to say that Xu is really technically controlled.
He is very similar to James Cameron.
Very similar.
Both of them are crazy people.
They are all people with big brains.
And they are all people who have their own ideas and can perfectly photograph their ideas.
even,
As early as 1982, when James Cameron was not famous and did not shoot the Terminator, Tsui Hark ushered in his first special effects blockbuster.
At that time, at the time when Golden Harvest was inviting him to direct a major production at a high cost, he himself was obsessed with George Lucas's "Star Wars", and he had a new idea: "After watching the stunt film "Star Wars", people have a spaceship. , Death Gun, the space has expanded so much, how do we view our own special effects? I want to shoot our Chinese own special effects blockbuster."
However, it is no easy task to bring the masterpieces of martial arts by the original poster to the screen, because the original depicts a fantasy swordsman world between humans and gods. There are all kinds of strange tricks, almost every action. Dramas require considerable manpower and material support.
To this end, Xu Ke persuaded Jiahe Zou Wenhuai to hire some of the technicians from the "Light & Magic Industry" company who had produced special effects scenes for "Star Wars" to join, and for the first time introduced a blue screen set for Hong Kong movies. In the film, Di Mingqi and Yi The climax of meeting Li Yiqi and using the purple and green swords against the Gorefiend is the product of combining with the set after shooting under the blue screen.
As for another scene where a large number of Western-style stunts are used, the protagonist is confronted with the demon cult. The heroine can steer the sword at any time, and can even fly with a sharp sword. The demon leader can cast laser light-in fact This is also an early attempt to combine computer animation and laser effects in Hong Kong films. It is a great improvement compared to the "laser" effect created by similar films of Shaw Brothers.
As for Ding Yin and the main body of the ice castle chasing stone beasts in the air, they are action scenes created by combining stunts and Wia.
There is no one who knows better than the Hong Kong filmmakers when it comes to lifting Avia.
In addition, Xu Ke also used editing techniques and even local steelmaking to create special effects in "New Shushan Swordsman". Therefore, in the film, the knight flies from one end to the other and then flies back under a single shot, and he worships a series of short shots. Given.
Ding Yin was poisoned and exploded after being possessed by the blood demon. The fairies of the fairy castle were frightened and flew up at the same time. It is also the effect of multiple martial artists pulling up hundreds of "via" outside the studio at the same time. At that time, Xu Ke's special effects techniques for the whole film advocated "the combination of Chinese and Western".
I like to use the soil method to make special effects, even if the special effects artists of Light and Magic can make better computer special effects, but in some aspects, Xu Ke prefers to insist on shooting in a way familiar to Hong Kong filmmakers.
Although "New Shushan Swordsman" caused some stunts and poor connection due to the hasty production cycle, it did not prevent it from becoming a landmark classic.
It is because it has improved the special effects face of the entire Chinese film industry, and used different screen technologies to add a touch to the Chinese martial arts world. Xu Ke's control of various techniques in the film has brought qualitative development to the development of Chinese martial arts films. Leap has a far-reaching impact.
After Qiao Feng opened a special effects company, it can be said that on the one hand, he knows that special effects blockbusters are the future trend, and special effects companies will be very profitable.
On the other hand, I also feel that Xu Ke, a person who has not been reborn, can work so hard for the development of Chinese-language movies and watch so far ahead. Qiao Feng feels that he can't be compared to a person who has passed through.
Qiao Feng feels that it is not an exaggeration to say that Xu is the father of special effects in Chinese movies.
It is because of him that promoted the exploration of special effects technology by Chinese filmmakers, and promoted such a huge development and progress of special effects in Chinese films.
