The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 242 This group of women will make them dumbfounded

"Hahaha, how could I have arranged it on purpose? This time is really a pure coincidence!"

When Wang Wei came to the crew of "Fury Road" again, he noticed that the director Lu Le's eyes were a little awed, and he didn't know why for a while, until Shen Zhenyi revealed the other party's brain supplement about his "deliberate deliberation", and couldn't help laughing.

"The main thing is, isn't this too coincidental?"

Shen Zhenyi blinked and said.

——Dunhuang just needed to "show weakness" in order to win more people's hearts. The next three films released were all produced by unknown female directors. This was originally a disadvantage, but to some extent it became an advantage.

As Shen Zhenyi said, if this is God's will, then God is too dear!

However, this is really a rare coincidence without any cheating by Wang Wei, or luck.

"Actually, if you think about it, you will know. Even if there is no joint suppression by the five major parties, the release schedule of these three films will not change much."

Wang Wei clapped his fingers and explained,
"Director Liang Guanyi likes to work slowly and meticulously, so her "Savage Senior Sister" will not be released until at least this summer. Considering the subject matter, it is naturally suitable for release on Qixi Valentine's Day in early August;"

"Director He Wenying's "Resident Evil", because it has to cooperate with the film and game linkage, and the special effects studio has just been built, everything is starting from scratch, and the progress is not fast, so it will be delayed until the National Day file;"

"As for "Fury Road", you know that the project was approved the latest and the special effects are the most complicated. It can be released before the end of the year. Director Lu Le has controlled the shooting progress very well..."

Well, it’s not unreasonable, wait—

"Could it be because of this coincidence that the Big Five felt that Dunhuang was not a big threat in the second half of the year, so they acted so simply?"

Shen Zhenyi suddenly realized a problem.

Wang Wei was startled, thought for a while, then nodded helplessly, "Maybe your guess is really right..."

Because of these three films, Wang Wei only gave a story frame, and then handed it over to the director and editorial department for reference or improvement, so they did not sign the script. In the eyes of outsiders, this is obviously not "produced by Wang Wei". up;

Looking at the director again, apart from the subject matter of "Savage Senior Sister" which is suitable for female directors, can women really support such relatively ambitious sci-fi films as "Resident Evil" and "Fury Road"?

In the top five, no, in the eyes of all competitors, isn't it just a persimmon?

——However, if the Big Five really think so, then they definitely picked the wrong "persimmon"!
Wang Wei thought silently.

Regardless of the fact that most of the production teams of these three films are women, in terms of level, he had to learn from them.

No, as "Fury Road" only has some shots left in the studio, Wang Wei also comes more and more frequently - while supervising the post-production, he also sees what new technologies can be used in the new film shoot on.

Director Lu Le both rejected and hoped for this.

On the one hand, she certainly hopes that she can fully control her own work-this can be said to be a director's instinct.

There is no way, as the boss of the investor, Wang Wei has the title of producer.And he is also different from the general producers who are not proficient in directing movies. He is an extremely outstanding director of commercial films.

In addition, the lead actor and another producer are also his girlfriend, if he hangs out on the set frequently, then Lu Leke will become a complete puppet.

But on the other hand, she also hopes to get the guidance of a more powerful director, so as to minimize the risk.

This made her very conflicted.

Wang Wei is also a director himself, so naturally he can't fail to see this, so he seldom directly interferes with the filming of the crew; even if he frequently appears on the set now, it is more for communication than guidance.

So, apart from him, director He Wenying and director Zhuang Geng also came together.

Needless to say, He Wenying has long been familiar with director Lu Le because of his contact with special effects production; and although Zhuang Geng is not a technical madman, he is also very interested in new technologies.

At this moment, several people were watching the shooting of a green screen scene——

This is the scene where the convoy rushes into a storm mixed with lightning, tornado, and dust. Before shooting, an animation preview was made for this scene to determine the scale of the scene, the distance between the storm and the car, and the shape of the tornado etc;
After the official shooting started, the set was surrounded by green screens, and some giant blowers blew the set into dust. The actors could only imagine themselves surrounded by the storm in front of the dust, and made a very nervous and fearful expression...

After filming this scene, several directors gathered in front of the monitor to discuss the effect of replacing it with CG special effects in the later stage.

"In this way, regardless of the cost, full green screen shooting can already be realized?"

At the end of the discussion, Zhuang Geng, who was not even proficient in using ordinary green screen technology, was shocked.

"The current technology should not be able to do it, and even if it can be done, compared to full green screen shooting, I still prefer the combination of real shooting and CG, which not only has a sense of reality, but also saves a lot of cost."

Lu Le said disapprovingly.

He Wenying shook her head: "When full-green screen shooting becomes popular on a large scale, the cost will drop; if the game development costs are shared equally, the overall cost will be lower; in comparison, whether it is artificial scenery or physical props, basically It can only be used once, which is actually quite a waste..."

——After Wang Wei put forward the business strategy of film and game linkage, He Wenying, as the person who opened the way, was certainly a difficult road, but she also gained a lot.

At least, she already has a clear direction for the evolution of green screen and special effects technology.

Shen Zhenyi, who was the only one on the scene who was not a director, thought even more wildly: "Actually, it's not impossible to have the best of both worlds, at least for large series productions."

She rolled her eyes and took Wang Wei as an example, "You must set up a studio for "Jurassic Park". I think it's better to build a real Jurassic Park!"

"Although doing this will definitely increase the cost of the scene, but overall, there are many benefits—"

"First of all, this can greatly reduce the cost of renting venues for the series; secondly, as long as there are enough details, many scenes that originally required the use of computer special effects can be shot in real scenes."

"Although it is still inevitable to use computer technology to edit pictures, the workload and cost must have been reduced a lot. In this way, the extra cost of building the 'park' has been basically eliminated."

After a pause, the corners of Shen Zhenyi's mouth curled up,
"More importantly, if all goes well and the film series is a big success, this studio can also be used as a tourist attraction-this becomes the biggest peripheral product of the film!"

"..."

The others were stunned.

Although the income from peripheral products has become more and more important in the income of film companies today, generally speaking, no one can imagine peripheral products like a "park".

Lu Le was shocked for a moment, but couldn't help applauding: "This idea is so good, why didn't I think of it? In this way, these customized vehicle props in "Fury Road" can also be sold as peripheral products." !"

"Leave me that fire-breathing guitar, and I'll keep it for my collection!" He Wenying immediately ordered a set of "peripherals".

For a while, the three women offered several feasible solutions on how to squeeze out the value of new technologies and movie props.

Wang Wei and Zhuang Geng were dumbfounded.

After a long while, they looked at each other, and the same thought came to their hearts - anyone who dared to underestimate this group of women would definitely make them dumbfounded.
