King of Special Effects

The yard is actually huge!

After removing the land area of ​​the two bungalows, there is still a yard the size of a basketball. There are a few pomegranate trees. The open space is covered with weeds as tall as a person. The wall waits until summer to hide snakes easily.

Old Bai, have you asked your old man?

Bai Tang nodded: You can use it if you want. This yard is mine, so you can do whatever you want, but it will take a lot of effort to renovate this place. The tiles on this house should also be turned over and repainted. Ash.

So, go ahead and do it!

Bai Tang borrowed a hoe and sickle from the neighbor next door, and the three of them started tidying up the yard.

Remove the weeds, and get rid of the creepers that grow everywhere on the fence.

With such a simple move, the yard also has a new look.

The weeds are easy to get rid of, but it takes a lot of effort to get these two houses. It takes a little money to renovate them, and they are no problem for living and working.

I don't have enough time today, so I can only get rid of these weeds first. I will study the design of other specific requirements tomorrow.

...

Early the next morning, Yi Yang was woken up again by Tian Jian's phone call.

It's okay for this guy to wake up early, and he didn't plan to let himself sleep well, so he answered the phone with a sleepy and depressed face.

President Tian, ​​is it so early?

Tian Jian seemed to be able to hear Yi Yang's displeasure: You should have received the 50,000 yuan, right?

That's why you called early in the morning? Yi Yang was also helpless: Thank you, Mr. Tian, ​​I have received the money.

That's good. I called you to tell you that there will be a film and television special effects competition next week. You can sign up online. Are you interested in participating?

Film and television special effects competition?

Yi Yang didn't seem to be interested: Well, not at all, Mr. Tian, ​​you can just play.

The judging committee sends the same material to each team of contestants, and completes the production of the specified special effects shots within a week. Professional special effects artists invited from abroad will score the judges, and the one with the highest score will be the champion.

Yi Yang thought for a while: I'm still not interested!

It only needs to make a special effects shot, the champion team will have a certificate issued by the jury, and a bonus of one million yuan will be provided by the 'Brother Huayi' film and television media, and the champion or runner-up team will have a joint production with their company Opportunities for special effects shots for film and television.”

Brother Huayi, a well-known domestic film and television production company, has produced many classic movies and TV series, and many big-name directors and stars have cooperated with them.

This bit of news, Yi Yang saw it from the usual news, so he didn't need to do much research to find out.

Although the championship conditions are very attractive, Yi Yang doesn't intend to show off.

He knows where his special effects come from, and he doesn't intend to let the world know the secret of this phone.

Mr. Tian, ​​it's better for you professional players to go to this kind of professional competition. Amateurs like us can only shoot some short videos to make friends. Small fights are suitable for us!

Tian Jian chuckled and said, Okay then, since you're not interested, I won't force it, but now I doubt that the source of those videos you uploaded came from your hands?

A friendly reminder, the infringement is neither big nor small. When the original creator is unhappy, you will suffer a lot.

Upon hearing this, Yi Yang felt like laughing: Thank you, Mr. Tian, ​​for reminding me. Don't worry, I know about copyright infringement, and the video is our original creation, and it doesn't infringe anyone's intellectual property rights.

Better like that!

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yang was trying to figure out what Tian Jian was thinking.

Shun Ning is so big, and Lighting is Shun Ning's only film and television production company. He set up a special effects team just to develop in this field of film and television special effects, and there is a special effects team around him that can do better than them, which will help them develop cause a lot of trouble.

No matter who it is, if they can't be recruited, they are competitors. The so-called competitors are similar to enemies on the battlefield. When necessary, they can fight to the death.

As for a business-minded person like Tian Jian, he is very clear about the possible threats around him, not to mention the few short videos with high-quality special effects uploaded by Yi Yang this day, and even a few of Shun Ning's online jokes All young people are regarded by him as possible objects of competition.

As for the film and television special effects competition, Yi Yang really has no interest at all right now.

Get up and wash up, and help Ling Lan cook breakfast by the way.

Going to clean up the yard today and have to go early.

Rice noodle with minced meat is Ling Lan's specialty. It's delicious and easy to cook: Have you finished making the video we shot the day before yesterday?

Yi Yang was taken aback, and shook his head hastily: How could it be so fast?

Aren't the videos you usually make very fast?

It's not a question of whether it's fast or not. It's very troublesome to edit the video and add special effects. Well, it's because of this that the cost of making special effects is very high. Otherwise, why do the producers say they don't have the money to do it? What about special effects?

Ling Lan seemed to understand, she nodded and told Su Qi to get up and eat.

Yi Yang was right.

The production of special effects shots is very difficult, and those special effects shots in Hollywood movies cannot be done by one or two people at all.

Taking simple AE as an example, to make and synthesize a video requires not only mastering AE itself, but also mastering color correction, keying, tracking, expression application models, material lighting, animation, etc.

In addition to these, many special plug-ins are also involved, such as the now well-known Red Giant series and P Particle plug-ins.

Each plug-in is enough for you to learn for a long time. It is impossible for a person to digest so many technical things well.

Like Arnold, Trapcode plug-in and E3D, etc., most of the special effects artists in China have not mastered these special effects processing processes.

To make relatively perfect special effects requires the construction of a huge knowledge network, and it is simply impossible for one or two people to complete it.

And Hollywood-specific special effects software like Houdini, except for blockbuster special effects movies with an investment of hundreds of millions, basically has little to do with ordinary people.

Yi Yang knew this, but he didn't know the magic power of the software 'Book of Changes' to make the special effects so perfect.

Maybe it's because this software gathers the wisdom of all the special effects masters in the world, or it's not a product of earthlings at all.

As for the special effects team formed by Tian Jian now, the special effects blockbusters with an investment of over 100 million yuan are not in their turn, and even if they are given a chance, they will not be able to do it, so they can only take some domestic anti-Japanese dramas to do 50 cents special effects explosion scene.

But it doesn't matter, because Tian Jian's intention of forming this special effects team is not to contribute to domestic special effects, but just to make money.

Compared to these, what Yi Yang thinks about now is how to hide the secret of the 'Book of Changes'.

It is a way to postpone the release of some videos with strong special effects, but in the future, there must be a special effects studio dedicated to idlers.
