Chapter 389 Target 3D
Seeing Jiang Feng's performance, the director couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Chen, where did you find the stand-in actors, your skills are very good!"
As a director, of course, I hope that what I took can bring a very real feeling to the audience. The stunt that can be used to not use a wire rope is the best. Therefore, Jiang Feng's jump not only saved a lot of time and money investment, but also brought the best shots to the camera.
Chen Xiaowei, the general manager of Jiangshi Entertainment, was sitting next to the director. After listening to the director's words, she replied a little embarrassedly: "Director, that's my boss."
"Your boss?!" The director was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "No wonder people can make their career so big. This jump alone is beyond the reach of others!"
The second part of "Myth" that is now filmed is filmed using 3D technology. For this reason, Jiang Feng also asked Jiang's Information Technology Company, a subsidiary of Jiang's Group, to acquire "imax" company in Canada.
Imax was founded in 1967 and is headquartered in Toronto, Canada and New York, USA, and its Asia-Pacific offices are in Shanghai, China. In 1994, Imax was listed on the Nasdaq, USA. In 1997, the company won the independent Oscar awarded by the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences for its scientific and technological achievements.
IMAX was invented by three Canadians: Graemeferguson, Romankroitor and Robertkerr. Because at the World's Fair held in Montreal in 1967, their multi-projector-type large-screen projection system had many technical problems, prompting them to design a new single-projector-type system with single-camera.
Imax is the owner of Imax technology and related equipment. It is mainly committed to the research and development of film and digital technology, mainly including 3D technology, post-production and projection technology. The business scope includes the design, leasing, sales, repair and operation of Imax cinema and projection systems; the shooting, production and distribution of Imax format videos; the development and production of cameras and projectors. Imax also has some subsidiaries, such as the dkp/70mm company, which has frequently won awards in image quality control and post-production.
The imax video museum preserves more than 200 films. The content of the film is both educational and entertaining, and is mainly shot by independent film production agencies including imax. It covers the natural wonders of the Amazon jungle, sharks, corals, bears, wolves, dolphins, beavers and other animal ecological records, volcanic eruptions, storms and other exploration topics such as the great power of nature, deep-sea shipwrecks, flying mysteries, the magnificence of flying over the Grand Canyon, the mystery of atomic particles, the fantasy adventures of outer space, etc. Many of these videos are converted into high-definition (HDTV) format and broadcast on high-definition TV channels in North America, and on high-definition or projection websites such as Ideas. This type of imax high-definition documentary is generally well received and is even regarded as a special video file for testing machine demonstrations.
The acquisition of IMAX company cost Jiang Feng billion US dollars.
Jiang Feng asked Jiang's Information Technology Company to acquire imax, which was a helpless move, because there was a law in the United States that production companies only regulate production and are not allowed to operate both distribution and cinema businesses. They cannot form a monopoly. If Jiang Feng's "Jiangshi Entertainment" acquires "imax" company, it will undoubtedly touch this "anti-trust law", which will bring great trouble to "Jiangshi Entertainment" at that time.
If it was acquired by "Jiangshi Information Technology", the final film production rights, distribution and screening rights still belong to Jiang Feng, but the US law cannot find any solution that can impose sanctions on its monopoly, which can be said to be the best of both worlds. The only drawback is that this is somewhat suspicious of being a false public for personal gain.
Of course, Jiang Feng’s acquisition of IMAX is not just for the purpose of shooting 3D movies. He wants to get involved in the 3D industry.
The 3D industry is still an emerging industry at present, but the future prospects are predictable. Human department level has been developing. For example, game screens, from the initial grid screen, but the subsequent two-dimensional to the current three-dimensional, the department level is changing with each passing day, and the pictures are becoming more and more gorgeous and more realistic.
But no matter how gorgeous or realistic it is, the picture is still flat, not really three-dimensional. And this Canadian "imax" company is undoubtedly the best real three-dimensional production company in the industry.
At present, all countries are studying 3D technology, but they have not invested a lot of financial resources or manpower in it for the time being. After all, for example, the TV industry is currently mainly based on LCD or plasma, and there are huge profits in these two aspects. As a manufacturer, naturally no one will spend a lot of financial resources to study 3D technology now. They will only recommend newer technologies after the LCD and plasma technologies are mature and the market has been completely saturated.
Judging from the current market forecast, 3D technology is undoubtedly the development plan for the next decade in the future. Most of the 3D on the market are red and blue glasses. Although the 3D effect can be seen, after watching it for a long time, not only can the eyes not stand it, but there is no obvious screen release effect, which is far from comparable to the cinema. If you can feel the effect like a cinema at home, that feeling and that kind of enjoyment are undoubtedly very exciting and stunning.
Not only in terms of movies, but also in other aspects such as games, 3D technology also has bright prospects. The gaming field is also one of the future development directions of Jiangshi Network Company, a subsidiary of Jiangshi Group.
Of course, the main direction at present is still movies.
Because there is no IMAX theater in China at the moment, Jiangshi Group has invested 100 million yuan to build the first batch of IMAX theaters in ten cities in China, including Beijing, Mingzhu, Haimen, Jiangzhou, Jiaozhou, Jinling, Jiangkou, Tianfu, Chang'an and Jianghan.
As the director of "Myth II", he naturally knew about these actions of Jiangshi Entertainment, and he envied the investors' wealth. It is unknown whether this drama makes money, but the investment is a considerable amount of money. There has never been a film in China that can spend so much money.
You should know that there are thousands of extras used in this film, and the cavalry inside are composed of a cavalry team specially hired from Inner Mongolia, with hundreds of people. As for the troops used to participate in the performance, it is not a small number. However, this is mostly a favor and the expenses are not large. But the total amount of these investments are really shocking.
The jump of Jiang Feng is equivalent to taking a cold shower. Although it is only mid-March and the water temperature is still very low, Jiang Feng doesn’t feel anything.
Because Jiang Feng felt very happy after fulfilling his dream of two lives, so he stayed aside and watched Liu Yifei put on makeup. In the "Mythology" series, Ye Lanqiu played the heroine. In addition, Liu Yifei and Su Chang also have some scenes in it. Among them, Liu Yifei wants to play a modern girl and have some intersections with the protagonist in the real world. The director made her very urbanized based on her characteristics, which made her look even more charming.
A shot is being filmed there. An actor is about to turn off the horse's back and finally trampled to death by Ranma. The death is naturally extremely miserable. This shot is about to be a stand-in actor. Props are putting on him in thick protective suits, and then the jockey guides him and the horse to walk first, and finally get on the horse and make a whole series of actions.
The danger of this kind of action is very high. Once it is made wrong or something goes wrong with the horse, it is easy to hurt or die the actor. Therefore, everyone is on guard and dare not be careless at all.
Fortunately, the actor is very familiar with his skills. The whole set of movements was completed in one go, which was extremely smooth. He was safe and had a lot of camera sense. The director was very satisfied and called for the end of the work. Even if the main task today was completed, the next few small shots were completed by others.
As a director, he only takes charge of shooting and directing some important shots, telling the protagonists a play, etc., or talking further. If you have time, you can also use the male and female actors to unspoken rules. It is impossible for them to watch every shot in all aspects.
Jiang Feng chatted with everyone for a while and finally decided to invite everyone out for a meal. The director, several important characters from the crew, and several important actors in the play were invited.
However, just as everyone was about to pack up, end today's shooting mission, and go to the big guy who was eating Jiang Feng, the temporary actors on the opposite side who were filming a cavalry battle scene suddenly became in chaos.
Jiang Feng and the others were a little far away from there, and they saw that the cavalry first became chaotic, and then the infantry joined the chaotic camp. Everyone was squeezed into a group, as if they were divided into two groups and began to fight.
"Damn, what's wrong with this?"
The people here were stunned because they found that the conflict on the other side had expanded in a short period of time, and the conflict between several people seemed to have turned into a battle of hundreds of people at this moment.
"I'm going to shoot war scenes, not to shoot a group fight!" the director cursed. He was a little panicked. If something out of control happens, wouldn't it ruin his reputation?!
Because the distance is relatively long, when Jiang Feng and the others rushed over, they had already fought over. When they glanced over, they found that some people were already bleeding.
Jiang Feng suddenly felt very anxious. This was a movie he invested in and filmed. If it was not finished, his life would be killed first. That would be great?!
So Jiang Feng thought about how to deal with the situation. At this time, a "Dragon Teeth" bodyguard rushed over and said to Jiang Feng: "Young Master, fire a gun to warn you? Otherwise, the situation will not be cured!"
Jiang Feng nodded, stood on the back of a horse, then took his gun from the hand of "Dragon Teeth" and fired five shots in a row.
The crisp gunfire immediately woke up the minds of the people in the fight. They separated them into two groups and retreated, but it seemed that they would have the intention of killing them at any time.
Chapter completed!
