Shadow queen development plan

pS: Mijiang always feels that the aesthetics of domestic special effects teams is a big problem.

The aesthetic style of many crews still stays at the 2005 online game special effects aesthetic._

Last year's "Wandering Earth" was Mijiang's favorite movie in terms of special effects style.

Hope it won't be short-lived.╮(╯▽╰)╭

Chapter 969 The End Screen of "The Final Chapter"

Gaetia's design can only be regarded as a part of the art design of "The Final Chapter", like the design style of the main battlefield of the Temple of Time and so on.

These are all part of the design style of The Final Chapter.

Therefore, the production of special effects for movies is a very money-consuming thing. It is not only brain-consuming, but also time-consuming and expensive.

Many people know that a special effects movie costs money to succeed, and it costs a lot of money.

But where exactly is the money spent?

What should be spent on?

And how much does a movie cost to make satisfactory special effects?

These not only test the production level of a special effects team, but also test the cost planning ability of the film crew.

As a veteran of special effects movies, Qiye certainly has his own arrangements.

The special effects of a movie cost a lot of money, but the biggest proportion is definitely the labor cost.

Although computer technology is very advanced now, it is only more convenient when modeling and mapping.

If you want to make sufficiently detailed texture materials, there is no good way other than using manpower.

For commercial blockbusters like "The Final Chapter", Qiye needs a team of thousands of people in post-production.

Not only Jiufeng Entertainment’s own special effects department, many other special effects production teams have also joined the huge special effects production of "The Final Chapter".

Many of this huge team are experienced modelers, animators, compositors, etc., and the pay is certainly not low.

Based on Qiye's years of experience, he is very clear that in developed countries, the most expensive is definitely the labor cost.

In the budget of "The Final Chapter", the budget for special effects is far above the actor's salary.

The least expensive is the cost of shooting.

To put it bluntly, this film is not only selling stars, but also selling special effects.

After all, there are many stars in "The Final Chapter", but most of them are just a cutscene, just like the countless soy sauce stars in the "I've seen the uncle".

Audiences may count stars happily, but if only the stars let them count, they will definitely feel bored soon.

To keep the audience excited at all times, a lot of special effects are needed to stack and support.

There is a universal truth in the film industry, that is, the investment scale of a film determines its special effects.

The obvious example is in the celestial dynasty. Many special effects movies claim to invest hundreds of millions of yuan, but the effect is not only "five cents special effects" or "fifty cents special effects".

The audience's perception of these blockbusters has always been "scumbags can't be scumbags anymore."

Many people like to blame this result on the investors who invested money in the actors.

But the cruel reality is that even if investors invest money in special effects production, the evaluation of these films will still not change.

To give a very simple example, the current Hollywood special effects blockbusters start at $100 million.

One of the typical representative works is "Venom".

In this movie, you can clearly feel what the standard of a $100 million movie is.

Except for the final battle and the interspersed battles, "Venom" rarely used special effects shots.

A film with an investment of 100 million US dollars, in order to maintain the level of special effects that the industry should have, is so nervous in the use of special effects pictures.

You know that this is Hollywood, where the special effects industry system is very mature.

It is nearly 700 million RMB under the conversion of 100 million US dollars!

With 700 million to make a movie, it is estimated that no Chinese filmmaker is willing to take such a risk.

It has been said before that the cost and effect of special effects are an exponential function.

The special effects invested in RMB 60 to 70 million are actually not much different from the special effects of RMB 100 million.

That being the case, why not use some of the money invested in special effects to invite big stars?

Anyway, the special effects are of the same standard, it is better to increase the bargaining chip of the movie elsewhere.

This is a very simple truth, and it is also a multiple choice question that elementary school students will do.

But it is certainly not a result that everyone can accept.

On the other hand, special effects production is not a matter of one or two teams, but a highly industrialized field.

Although the process of special effects production around the world is much the same, the final effect is very different.

No matter how strong the general special effects studio is, it can only do textures. If you want to unify these materials and reach the highest standards, only Hollywood can do it in the world.

Not only because Hollywood is willing to spend money on special effects, but also because they know how to use the special effects team.

This is why Nanaya never thought of developing world-class special effects in Japan.

He did not have the obligation to revitalize the special effects industry in Japan, so of course he was able to make his own movies more convenient.

Hollywood is the place with the highest level of special effects in the world, so use them to achieve the effects you need.

And after more than ten years of experience, Qiye has long been accustomed to making movies with the Hollywood process.

In Qiye's crew, the special effects team is a very important member.

This sentence is not just talking. From the moment the film project was established, he has not separated the special effects team from the crew.

In order to facilitate management, many film crews clearly divide film production into pre- and post-production, and separate the two parts from each other.

This approach seemed very stupid to Qiye.

To get the best special effects, the shooting team needs to communicate with the special effects team all the time.

Qiye did just that.
