Chapter Sixty-Six The Wandering Earth Special Effects Team, Under the Command!!

Alabama Hills, Central California.

It is one of the highest elevations on the west coast of North America, just a few dozen kilometers from Death Valley National Park.

This vast desert highland is covered with strange rocks and the scene is very spectacular. In the plot of "Iron Man", Afu Khan's filming location is here.

That's right, the entire film was shot in California and didn't go anywhere else.

The crew is ready, and Infinity Pictures' first comic adaptation movie "Iron Man" has officially started!

On the first day of shooting, Chu Xuan even felt a little relaxed.

Since Chu Xuan independently shot a film like "The Godfather", he has a new understanding of the art of directing.

Even without the help of his own film library, he can direct a decent movie.

According to the concept in the game, Chu Xuan is basically the peak of Lv.3 and the big director of the half-step Lv.4 level.

Or the Glory King comes to the Golden Bureau to fry fish, and Chu Xuan can kill randomly in the canyon while brushing the drama.

On set, he didn't have as much pressure as the first two films.

It was like coming out on vacation.

“Cut！ This one is over! Robert, your performance is great. "

Chu Xuan praised Robert Downey Jr.'s performance.

He went to that stop with playboy Tony Stark, and the real performance was good

This scene is where Tony Stark travels to Afu Khan to show the explosion.

Robert Downey Jr. performed that billionaire, playboy debauchery temperament.

Between shooting, the crew temporarily rested.

"Little Pepper" Gwyneth did not know when to come over and hand Chu Xuan a bottle of drink.

The weather in California has become increasingly hot, and the crew is sweating.

"Chu, the drink is iced to relieve the heat... By the way, can I take a look at the footage I just shot? "

"Okay, come and see."

Anyway, they are all members of the crew, and there is nothing to avoid.

As a result, Gwyneth's whole body was almost attached to Chu Xuan's body, and the humorous perfume went straight into his braincase.

Even a glance next to Chu Xuan Yu Guang Wang could see Gwyneth's "career line".

Gwyneth looks very serious in front of outsiders, and is a gentle sweet girl.

She is only 29 years old this year, much younger than in her previous life.

The kind of style that was revealed intentionally or unintentionally simply made Chu Xuan scream that he couldn't stand it, and it wasn't he who suffered the loss anyway.

Chu Xuan remained silent and continued to let her bend down next to her to watch.

"Thanks, it's the best director, it's a great shot."

Chu Xuan's smile was a little stiff, and The little pepper began to blow awkwardly without a word.

And there was no role for her here, she could have come to the crew tomorrow to report and go to the seaside mansion to shoot.

But Gwyneth did not know why, took the initiative to come over, and called it a beautiful name: I want to know more about the plot and facilitate entry into the drama.

Anyway, the appearance is not bad, and it is good to put it in the crew to raise eyes.

Little Pepper casually chatted with Chu Xuan again, looked at Chu Xuan charmingly, twisted his waist and turned to leave.

Sigh, really good tea.

At this time Robert Downey Jr. passed by, with a bad smile between men, and gave him a "you know" look.

"Whoops...... Chu, your casting is really good. Come on, I am optimistic about you Chu Xuan suddenly a little helpless. "

Things are not what you see, I don't want to sneak rules! Unfortunately, he had already gone far, and Chu Xuan didn't have time to explain.

"Iron Man" was only one day old, and Little Pepper intentionally or unintentionally approached Chu Xuan.

No wonder Robert Downey Jr. wanted to be crooked.

With the help of the Russo brothers, the live-action shooting part of "Iron Man" is not difficult for the original version of the Mark1 Steel Armor, and Chu Xuan also ordered someone to create a 1:1 prop armor!

The material is made of new alloys, epoxy resins, flexible polyurethanes and other materials, and a layer of metallic chrome paint is applied.

This set of Mark 1 armor looks bulky and textured.

Worn on the body is quite lightweight, even without the use of stunt doubles can be flexible.

Robert Downey Jr. put it on and tried it, not feeling tired at all, and even thinking it was fun.

So simply let him wear the whole battle armor to perform the scene of escaping from the cave.

Mark1 can be rougher, but the next Mark2, Mark3 must be combined with a certain CG effect.

All the special effects production of Marvel movies in the past life came from the famous "Industrial Light and Magic"!

It was George Lucas' first professional digital effects studio in Hollywood for Star Wars.

Later, "Star Wars" was successful, and Industrial Light and Magic became a hit, almost monopolizing all the Oscar technology awards in the following years.

Almost all of Hollywood's biggest directors are vying to work with Industrial Light and Magic.

Spielberg, Cameron, they are all loyal to Industrial Light and Magic.

In the parallel world, Chu Xuan had planned to cooperate with Industrial Light and Magic.

However, after George Lucas' Star Wars, IML didn't receive many orders.

In recent years, they have only been involved in the production of films such as Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, and Strangers in Disguise.

Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter series, Avatar don't exist at the box office.

IML followed the special effects blockbuster one after another.

Scared those Hollywood movies didn't dare to work with them.

This also led Lucasfilm into crisis, which led to being acquired by Disney for $2.1 billion.

Chu Xuan's Infinite Pictures want to cooperate?

Disney will never agree! Unless Chu Xuan gives in and gives a large proportion of box office accounts.

Chu Xuan naturally could not cooperate with Disney.

Now you can only look for other special effects teams.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe after that, coupled with other big-budget films, is inseparable from the top special effects team.

Even before the filming of The Godfather, Chu Xuan had asked marketing manager Mark Lawrence to search the world for a good special effects team.

In the middle of the filming of "The Godfather", Chu Xuan himself also talked with a number of special effects team leaders.

Either the other party bids too high, and the lion opens his mouth for $4 billion.

Either the technology is too bad, not much better than the 5-mao special effect.

In short, after looking for half a day, Chu Xuan did not meet the right team.

At the time, he even wanted to postpone the filming of Iron Man.

Later, when I accidentally chatted with Mai Zhaohui about "Infernal Affairs", Chu Xuan casually mentioned that he was looking for a special effects team recently.

Mai Zhaohui suggested at the time: "Gu Zai is a partner of a special effects company, do you want to talk to him?" "

Chu Xuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and his mind flashed! Gu Tim Le, a special effects company?

Wait......The Wandering Earth!

Chu Xuan suddenly remembered that in the past life, "The Wandering Earth" exploded, and the special effects team of Dragon Kingdom, MORE-VFX and BaseFX, also became famous.

The team invested by Gu Tianle is only a small part of The Wandering Earth.

The "Tianxia Group" in which he participated in the investment includes 4 teams: FAT.face, Gotong Digital, ONE-COOL, and Xena Mofu.

All of the vehicles and motion platforms in The Wandering Earth were subcontracted to Xena Mofu.

MO. RE—VFX and BaseFX are the main forces behind special effects.

Chu Xuan quickly sent someone to investigate, and it didn't take long for the results to be found.

MO. RE-VFX is also the special effects of advertising films.

Not long ago, I just finished filming the movie "The Great Gold Robbery" directed by Ning Hao and starring Lei Jiayin.

The first time they made a movie, they underestimated the difficulty of the special effects of the movie.

It was almost hard to get the job done.

The special effects of the movie are really good, but they are also seriously injured, and the membership of 70 people is reduced to 15 people, leaving only the core backbone...

And BaseFX is still in the capital, usually only receiving some TV series special effects.

Their production level is world-class, but they have not cooperated with Industrial Light and Magic and have no visibility.

After Chu Xuan saw these materials, he immediately had a thought.

Bring these two companies together and start your own special effects company! Do it when you think of it!

Immediately after the Oscars, Chu Xuan approached the heads of the two companies.

When they heard that the Oscar for Best Director wanted to buy their company, the other side couldn't believe it.

After some fierce negotiations, Chu Xuan only bought MORE-VFX for 10 million US dollars, and spent 35 million US dollars to buy BaseFX!

At this point, Chu Xuan fused the two special effects teams and established his own special effects company - Matrix!

The special effects company "Matrix", the founding of the thing, did not cause any waves.

At that time, everyone was paying attention to "The Godfather", and then the whole network was hotly discussed Chu Xuan's acquisition of Marvel, and then Chu Xuan announced the filming of "Iron Man".

Even if some attentive fans noticed the news, they didn't understand the "matrix" and its meaning.

Until one day after that, when people saw the red pill and the blue pill, they saw a screen full of green code.

Fans then thought of this news and thought of Chu Xuan's special effects company.

The crowd was terrified!

Of course, these are all afterwords, after Chu Xuan's integration, the original two teams are also integrated.

Chu Xuan did not place the company in Luoshengdu, but directly established it in the capital.

The whole team is their own people, this is 100% dragon country team!

In theory, our own talent strength is not bad, and even the comprehensive ability is better.

The reason why domestic film and television dramas are full of "5 mao special effects" lies in two points: time is not enough, and money is not in place.

In fact, the special effects do not have too advanced technical content, it is completely based on careful polishing, dead details!

For example, the dragon in "Game of Thrones", every subtle expression, scale, and action is carefully designed.

When the fire is blown, the head will shrink slightly backwards to complete the charge, and there will be subtle changes in the eyes and face.

In general, domestic teams lack financial investment, while investors are eager to succeed.

Many semi-finished products are taken out and placed on the screen, and there is no time to cut the details.

They usually ignore these micro-expressions and just stick their heads out and spit fire.

The viewer may not notice these differences, but it is clear to the senses that they are contradictory.

Chu Xuan was different, he was not short of money, nor was he in a hurry.

The steady stream of box office revenue is his biggest confidence!

Chu Xuan only has one requirement for the special effects of "Iron Man", that is, to be as fine as possible!

Strive to blur the boundaries between virtual and real!

Whenever he shoots a piece of content, he sends it directly to his own special effects team and asks them to start production.

"Iron Man" is also gradually taking shape with the efforts of everyone.

While Chu Xuan was busy shooting, other Giants in Hollywood also announced their plans for the release of summer movies.

Dwayne Johnson's Brave Game; Angelina Jolie, The Sleeping Curse;

Directed by the Wachowski Brothers, Matt Damon starred in the sci-fi film Jupiter Ascending!

Directed by Tim Burton, Anne Hathaway starred in the magic film Alice in Wonderland!

Plus Chu Xuan's Iron Man! Fans around the world can't help but exclaim.

"This summer, it's a fairy fight!"

"Magic—Chu is going to Waterloo..."

"It's over, how does Iron Man fight them?"
