After driving for half an hour, the car drove into Century Film City and stopped in the parking lot. Getting out of the car, Urshan took Chen Daomin to the No. 3 studio where "The Returning No Way" is located.

Chen Daomin received a call from Zhang Ran three days ago, and Zhang Ran told him that he hoped he would play an important role. Chen Daomin has worked with Zhang Ran twice, including the TV series "Before Dawn" and the movie "Three Fools". The collaboration was quite pleasant. When he heard that Zhang Ran asked him to play an important role, he agreed without any hesitation and did not even ask what he did.

Walking in the Century Film Capital factory, there are magnificent studios all around. There are movie posters hanging outside each studio, including Chinese and Hollywood. Outside studio No. 3, there are large posters of "Scarlet Sun". These posters indicate that these movies were completed in the studio.

Chen Daomin had never visited Hollywood, but the huge studios in front of him still convinced him that Century Film and Television is now comparable to Hollywood.

As soon as he walked into studio No. 3, Urshan and Chen Daomin were stopped by the venue and said that they were filming and could not go over. Urshan told Chen Daomin that this movie was a VR movie, filmed 360 degrees, and the staff did not walk around like an ordinary movie, and could only wait until the filming was finished before going over.

After waiting for almost three minutes, the venue told Urshan and Chen Daomin that he could go there. Urshan took Chen Daomin to the command center. The staff along the way saw them and greeted them very enthusiastically. The two smiled and nodded in response.

When he arrived at the command center, Chen Daomin was shocked by the scene. The scene was filled with surveillance cameras and various equipment, and there were dozens of staff. It was a busy scene and it seemed like he had entered a rocket launch center.

Zhang Ran sat behind a row of monitors, pointing at the largest monitor and saying something to the staff. When he saw Wuershan leading Chen Daomin over, he said, "Didn't you ask you to lead the old Taoist to the hotel and let him have a good rest? Why did you bring the person to the set?"

Chen Daomin hurriedly said, "I asked Urshan to bring me here. This movie is a VR movie. I have not seen what a VR movie looks like, so I come and see it. Why, don't I welcome?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Why is it not welcome? I hope you have a good rest today and we will start shooting tomorrow." After Chen Daomin came, he asked the staff to take a chair and greet Chen Daomin to sit down, and briefly introduced the situation of the movie. He knew that Chen Daomin had never been in contact with VR, and felt that Chen Daomin should have a general understanding of VR first, so that Chen Daomin would be more attentive when filming later, so he said to Urshan: "Take Teacher Chen Daomin to the VR group and see the sample we took in the past two days." After that, he ignored Chen Daomin and came to the shooting site to point out the problems in Jingtian's performance just now.

After Zhang Ran finished the play and returned to the command center after returning to the command center, Urshan and Chen Daomin had already watched the VR clip and sat behind the monitor of the director team. Zhang Ran asked, "Old Dao, how do you feel?"

Chen Daomin was shocked by VR. The sense of presence brought by the 360-degree full frame made him feel like he had entered another world. He said sincerely: "It's so shocking, I don't know how to describe it. No wonder you would spend so much money on VR movies. This thing is definitely an epoch-making product!" Speaking of this, he couldn't help asking: "There are so many cameras shooting at the same time in VR movies, and the picture is 360 degrees, which must be very high, right?"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "The cost of a VR movie is indeed very high. The cost of a VR movie is two to three times that of an ordinary movie. The cost of our movie being made into a VR is about 500 million US dollars."

Chen Daomin was shocked when he heard that the cost was $500 million: "The cost was $500 million, plus the publicity fee, it would cost $7.8 billion. Can so much money be used to pay back?"

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded and said, "Not only is the cost high, but VR movies are new things. Without a special VR cinema, it is impossible to be released on a large scale around the world like ordinary movies. Just shooting the VR version will definitely be a huge loss. Therefore, while shooting the VR version, we will shoot the normal version and make money back through the ordinary version."

Chen Daomin couldn't help but say, "With the vr version plus the ordinary version, it will cost 1 billion US dollars. Can you make a profit?"

Zhang Ran said with a relaxed look: "In fact, making money by making movies is very low-end, and it doesn't make much money. What really makes money is the industrial chain. For us, movies are a large-scale advertisement. Through advertising, hundreds of millions of viewers around the world understand our products, and then make money by selling corresponding products. Spending 1 billion to advertise is not expensive. Large companies like Samsung have tens of billions of advertising annually."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Yesterday, Teacher Zheng Dongtian came to visit the set. He said that he had a chat with the Disney sales director a few days ago. When talking about the film and television industry chain, the director said that they had a movie "Tomorrow World" this year that they lost more than 100 million US dollars, but through theme parks and Disney's industrial chain, they could make money back in two years. I told Teacher Zheng Dongtian that Disney's industrial chain is nothing, just TV stations, theme parks, and various authorizations. If "Tomorrow World" is handed over to us, the income will definitely be higher than Disney."

Urshan nodded gently. "Full-band Blocking Interference" is about to start filming. The cost of this movie is very high, close to US$250 million, and it is a pure Chinese film. The risk is undoubtedly very high. But Zhang Ran always told him that you don't have to worry about the box office, just make the movie well. As long as the movie is of good quality, even if you lose money, you can easily earn money through the industrial chain.

Urshan understands that it is precisely because of the strong industrial chain as a guarantee that the peak of the century dared to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to allow him and young directors such as Yang Qing to make top blockbusters.

Chen Daomin heard that Disney had lost more than 100 million US dollars, but was able to easily make money back through other channels, and couldn't help but say, "Today I finally know what a big capitalist is!"

Zhang Ran laughed: "There is no way, there is no businessman!"

Chen Daomin said again: "VR is a new technology, and the gap between us and Hollywood should not be big!"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "The gap is not big, it's only one or two years."

Chen Daomin remembers that when he was filming "Three Fools", Zhang Ran said about the film industry. At that time, Chen Daomin did not particularly understand. In his eyes, industry is an assembly line product, while movies are works of art, and the two are not connected. However, in recent years, with the release of films such as "The Future Apocalypse" and "The Scarlet Sun", Chen Daomin realized that movies made by the film industry may not be artistic; without strong industry as support, movies like "The Scarlet Sun" would not appear.

Looking at all this in front of you, thinking about the strong shock from the VR generation, Chen Daomin thought to himself that Chinese film technology is really about to catch up with Hollywood, the dream of many generations of Chinese filmmakers! He sighed: "It is only one or two years away from Hollywood. If it were released ten years ago, it would be something I would never dare to think about!"

Zhang Ran laughed when he heard Chen Daomin say this, and the staff present laughed too.

Urshan smiled and told Chen Daomin: "Teacher Chen, Teacher Zhang is not saying that there is a year or two gap between us and Hollywood, but that there is a year or two gap between Hollywood and us. In VR film and television, we are the strongest in the world!"

Chen Daomin was completely shocked when he heard this. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word. A passionate feeling rolled in his heart. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to cry!

At this moment, the deputy director came over to tell Zhang Ran that the preparations were all ready and that the filming could be re-filmed.

Zhang Ran picked up the stepper phone, stared at the monitor and shouted the command: "Start! Start!"

Chen Daomin, who was sitting next to Zhang Ran, found that at the moment when Zhang Ran shouted out this "start", Jing Tian's temperament suddenly changed, and he felt a hint of loneliness and sadness all over his body. This feeling reminded him of Tony Leung in "Infernal Affairs". He had acted in "Infernal Affairs 3" and worked with Tony Leung. On the set of "Infernal Affairs 3", Tony Leung gave him this feeling.

But Tony Leung is one of the best actors in the Chinese film industry, and Kyung Tam is just a girl in her twenties. She can actually perform the feeling of Tony Leung in "Infernal Affairs", and it is incredible that she can perform zero-degree performances!

Chen Daomin turned his head to look at Zhang Ran, thinking that this is really a monster apprentice taught by the monster master!

Jingtian's hand gently waved in the air, as if operating the holographic keyboard: "Look, these traces were left by the government's potential agents in and out of my database after we left, but did you find that these traces seemed to be left by novices, and seemed very clumsy. In fact, they were left intentionally, and wanted to mislead us to the government and potential agents. If this is the case, then the person who left these traces might be..."

Beside Jingtian, the actor who walked through a tight green coat and replaced the black cat Aksha with a frown, frowned and said, "Yuanyin? What do you mean is that Yuanyin is eyeing us? Why do they do this? We have nothing to do with them anymore."

"You have to take over the business before you know." Jing Tian pressed his hand in the air twice, as if he was recalling data through the holographic network, "13330573885, Cheng Liang. Let's have a good talk with this university professor tomorrow." After saying that, Jing Tian reached out and pressed his right hand heavily in the air, which meant that she had withdrawn from the Internet.

Zhang Ran immediately stood up and shouted: "Stop! Jingtian, this time it was a good performance! You have a break and let's take a look at the effect!"

Zhang Ran made a look at the scene taken in front of Jingtian. After confirming that there was no problem, he went to the VR group to see the synthesis effect. The synthesis effect was also very good. Zhang Ran was very satisfied and asked Urshan and Chen Daomin to look at it, and then asked Chen Daomin: "How is Jingtian doing it well, right?"

Chen Daomin smiled and shook his head and said, "You are showing off nakedly, just to make me praise you, the master, to teach your disciple well. But to be honest, your disciple is acting really well. That lonely state is not performed, but revealed from the bones. The whole performance is very attractive."

Zhang Ran laughed. Under his guidance, the famous bad movie queen of the previous life, even Chen Daomin applauded. He felt a little proud and shouted hard: "This shot has passed!" He gave Jingtian a thumbs up and praised: "Advisor, this shot is amazing! Teacher Chen Daomin praises you! You took the VR camera and rest for a while. Let's take the regular version below!"

The staff surrounded and helped Jingtian take off the VR camera from his head.

The vr camera weighs more than ten pounds and is always wearing it on your head. It is hot and tired. Jingtian sat on the ground without caring about the image of a lady, wiped the sweat from his head, and slapped the air with his hands and said, "I'm so tired, I'm so tired!"

At the same time, two robot arms were hanging down from the top of the studio. The crew of the photography team carried two cameras and trotted over, installed the camera on the robot arms, and began to adjust. The lighting engineer began to re-lay the light. Ordinary movies and VR movies had different requirements for light. Although the shooting content was exactly the same, the light had to be redistributed. The recording, makeup, and other groups were moved, and the scene was busy.
Chapter completed!
