The Director of Music Department

"Mad Max Fury Road" is actually plain, the core is still quite Hollywood.

Although this movie will be very manic, very irritable, all the way to the end, all the way to the end.

But in fact, in the final analysis, this is still a cool commercial movie!

Like "Mad Max Fury Road", in fact, it includes the setting of Ferrosa, the setting of the world, the setting of the environment, etc., as well as the setting of the plot. These settings are also in line with the usual Hollywood movies. Number of ways. In Hollywood movies, the future is either a beautiful mess or a doomsday madness.

"Mad Max Fury Road" is obviously the latter.

But the same is not divorced from the core of Hollywood movies, that is, the theme of the movie, which is definitely not a cult and dark, but to freedom!

Of course, it is impossible to start shooting this movie right away, and there are many things that need to be prepared.

The literary dramas in this film are almost negligible. All the preliminary work is almost in preparation for the action dramas.

After receiving Wang Yifan’s approval, various prop cars quickly moved to the refitting stage, but the huge amount of more than 150 cannot be completed in a short time. For this, Wang Yifan also set aside enough time for the props team and other departments Of course, he also wants to shoot as soon as possible, but there are some things that he can't rush.

Many sci-fi special effects movies actually use CG special effects most of the time. CG special effects often cost more money, but it does not mean that the shooting of "Mad Max Fury Road" is easy.

On the contrary, because many special effects require live shooting, such a movie is much more complicated to shoot than those green screen movies.

In fact, to put it plainly, it means two directions.

For a long time, special effects movies can be divided into two aspects. One aspect is to focus on real-time shooting. Real-time shooting has more complex requirements for the venue and shooting, so the shooting time tends to be longer, but the same, compared to CG In terms of special effects, green screen shooting is much easier, but CG special effects are expensive and time-consuming.

One is that it takes more time to shoot, and the other is that it takes more time to make special effects. It is difficult for you to tell which is good and which is bad.

For the movie "Mad Max Fury Road", CG special effects are difficult to achieve the kind of effect Wang Yifan wants, and if you really use CG special effects to make this movie, then the cost is absolutely It is an astronomical figure.

Because "Crazy Max Fury Road" can be said that it is blazing and burning from beginning to end. If all these were done with CG special effects, Wang Yifan could not imagine how much money would be spent.

It is undeniable that the current mainstream special effects are actually CG special effects, but compared to shooting on the spot, enough brilliant cg special effects often cost more money.

As we all know, making movie cg special effects is a very expensive thing, but specifically, where is the money spent? How much does a movie cost to make satisfactory special effects?

There are many places where money is needed to make movie special effects, and the largest proportion is labor costs. For large-scale productions like this, post-production teams often use hundreds of people.

Some people may say that Huaguo’s labor costs are lower, why not use Huaguo’s special effects company to do it?

Don't Wang Yifan? Of course not. In fact, this movie itself has the participation of the Chinese Aurora Special Effects Company, but the labor cost here is not for anyone, because a lot of labor is technical.

In China, after all, the development in this area is still relatively backward. It is not only technology but also talents!

In Hollywood, there are ten or even more than twenty special effects companies and studios responsible for many large investment movie special effects. Many of them are animators and compositors with many years of work experience. The salary will certainly not be low.

At the same time, the production cycle of many films can be as long as several years, and the cost is naturally indispensable.

Simply put, good special effects are piled up with money.

Not only that, because the special effects are all made by computers, and the configuration of these computers is also professional. Such computers are not low in cost. In addition, the computers that do special effects need to be updated at any time.

These alone cost tens of millions of dollars each year.

Because special effects are often not one or two computers, not one or two hundred computers, but thousands of computers.

Even some special effects need to be applied to super calculations!

Therefore, doing special effects really burns money, not only manual burns, but also machinery and equipment.

This is why, every year, special effects companies close down, and the winner takes all.

Because top special effects companies have no shortage of orders, they can constantly develop new software and stand at the pinnacle of technology.

And these software, other special effects companies, can not develop their own from scratch, because the cost is definitely higher, so most of the time, they will buy these software.

Such top special effects companies can develop new technologies over and over again, and use old technology to sell money over and over again, but other special effects companies can't.

Making special effects not only costs money for movies, in fact, the operating costs of special effects companies themselves are also scary. If there is no continuous order support, it is easy to bankrupt the special effects company!

This is why many special effects companies suddenly collapsed overnight, because some large orders require them to purchase more equipment and recruit more labor, but when the large orders are over, their equipment has to be replaced. At this time, if no new orders appear at this time, then they will definitely not be able to afford the cost.

There is a very interesting aspect of the special effects industry. If you want to achieve the 80% quality in mind, 20% of the money and time may be enough, but often the last 20% of the quality will cost 100%. 80% of the time and money!

This is why, in many movies, you will find that it seems that the difference is not too big, but the cost is so different.

Because this last 20% effect is the most expensive!

It can be said that shooting only takes up a very short period of time in the film production cycle. Even someone like Wang Yifan who can cheat will consume several times the shooting time in pre-production and post-production. Sometimes he wants to know. In the legend, how did the director’s films succeed without participating in the preliminary preparations and the post-production for only a few weeks?

In fact, many domestic stars and film companies know about Wang Yifan's new movie.

But this time, Wang Yifan went abroad again.

When I filmed "The Ring of Midnight" in the island country earlier, it was a little better. After all, the island country is also an Asian country.

But this time, I went to Hollywood to make a movie. Most of the team is from Hollywood, and the roles are also Hollywood stars.
