Meiman: Filming can make you stronger

Chapter 18 Journey to the West
Of course, Andy is just talking about building temples, but it is necessary to design an Olympia complex.

Shooting a movie involves all aspects, but background rendering is definitely a very important part. The Temple of Olympus built by Andy when shooting the Apollo series was still very simple. The splendid hall of the gods.

But if you really want to build a temple of the gods in Andy's heart, the money spent can only be afforded by Iron Man and Batman. Andy decided to spend money to numerically model the entire Olympia Temple, which will save a lot of money.

On the second day after the Orcas incident, Andy found a special effects company called Digital Ark for consultation. This company is a second-rate special effects company that has done special effects for "Clash of the Gods". Requirements are not a problem.

There were three people receiving Andy, a technician, a business manager and a business assistant.

"Refer to Rivendell in "The Lord of the Rings" and the ruins of the temples in Greece. The temples should be magnificent and have holy light, the garden should be full of fantasy colors, and it is best to put some goblins. Every main god has a small god world. , The Apollo Palace is located on a high mountain by the sea, similar to the LinK Memorial Hall. There is only one throne inside. Behind the temple is a hibiscus tree. Next to it is a soup valley where the gods bathe. A sun is suspended above it. The temple is within one kilometer It's a meadow, a forest in the distance, and a mermaid in the sea."

"The Moon Temple of Artemis is located in the laurel bushes on the moon. The main color is moon white, similar to that of Galadriel, the elf queen in Lord of the Rings. Her bow and arrow are hung on the laurel tree."

"The temple of Ares is located in the ancient battlefield. Heroic spirits are fighting every day. We must do it more tragically. The temple of Athena is located."

Andy made a lot of requests and talked for about twenty minutes.

"Mr. Huang, if all of these are realized with 3D numerical panoramic modeling and every detail is taken care of, the estimated cost will be 1000 million to 3000 million US dollars, which will take more than a year. How much will we need to make a demand document for you? It can only be finalized after confirmation, if you think it’s ok, let’s go through the process now?”

The business manager's expressionless quotation made Andy almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. He came here just for the sake of cheapness, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive!

But a coward with a wallet can't be cowardly, and Andy bit the bullet and said: "Money is no problem, but you must produce a demo (meaning a sample) so that I can see your strength, otherwise I don't feel relieved to entrust this job to you."

The other party nodded and said: "This is a normal request from the customer, there is no problem, but we will charge 30% of the fee in advance to provide the demo."

Take an intermediate value, then the whole set will cost 2000 million U.S. dollars. Andy just mentioned 130 temples, a garden and a Mount Olympus, so the average cost is about 30 million U.S. dollars each, so let them make two first, If you pay 80% upfront, it will be [-] US dollars, so you can afford it.

"Okay, then let's discuss the requirements for the Temple of the Gods and the Temple of Apollo."

It’s not that Andy is stupid and rich, because Barbara has confirmed her acceptance of Andy’s offer by email. After the script comes out, Andy has to look for investment everywhere. It’s easier to find investment for an effect film, so the background needs to be prepared to some extent.

After three hours of discussion, Andy's requirements document was finally finalized. He had a lot of detailed requirements. There are various reliefs and fetishes in the temples. There are fairies and goblins as maids, and Greek spirits as guards. The horse tethering stones that park the chariots of the gods, and Apollo’s God Realm requires more, and there are many characteristics of the Eastern sun god, such as the soup valley where Apollo bathes, the hibiscus tree where Apollo hangs weapons and the sun that Apollo manifests. etc.

The other party of the quotation contract will send it to Andy's mailbox within two days, and the contract will be established after the Apollo email confirms that the scanning contract is sent, and the payment is waited for the demo to be completed.

"You have to keep making money!"

Thinking of the lack of money, Andy hated the black cat Felicia. Maybe the numerical model of the crown can support six or seven temples. Pay the bill?
Black cats are so expensive!

In the afternoon, when Andy came home, Johnny was reading the "Heart Sutra". This guy has become interested in such things since he came into contact with Buddhism at Andy's suggestion.

Seeing Andy coming back, Johnny asked, "Andy, when will the temple you mentioned be built?"

Andy shrugged and said, "Lack of money, why are you interested in Greek temples?"

"I have a suggestion to put the statue of Buddha in it, so that I have a place to pray."

This... put Apollo and Buddha together?It's a bit too inconsistent, and Apollo is Andy, and Andy has put himself on the same level as Buddha, and panicked.

"Let's talk about it when we have money, but I think it's better to suggest and encourage yourself than to pray to the Buddha."

Johnny shook his head and said, "Andy, I need Buddha's encouragement. Human will can't fight against demons. It's too difficult for me."

This... makes sense, but Andy decided to continue fooling around.

"Let me tell you a true story. There is a god in Longguo called Guanyin Bodhisattva. There are many believers. One day, an old lady went to the Guanyin Temple to pray. Exactly the same, she asked in amazement, who are you? Better ask yourself."

"As for your matter, I feel that if you rely on external forces, you will always be limited by others. If you continue to suppress the will of hell with your own efforts, then you will become an existence that you still admire in the future."

Andy spoke very seriously, and Johnny listened very seriously.

"Andy, I didn't expect there to be such a wise god in Longguo. Although what you said is right, mortals' thinking is limited. I still need to be guided. I think I should believe in a wise god like Guanyin Bodhisattva."

After finishing speaking, Johnny chanted the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, turned to the study, and was going to check the information of Guanyin.

Andy shook his head. It's not good for these Westerners not to believe in something. Unlike the people of Longguo who have no faith in anyone, for example, they usually worship the Dragon King, but if it doesn't rain in a drought, the Dragon King will be dragged out to beat him up.

Is this the correct way to open up faith? The exchange of interests can last for a long time.

However, Andy is really worried that he doesn't have enough money now.

In Marvel or DC movies, the two children who are often troubled by poverty are the two children of Spider-Man and Flash. Few other superheroes are particularly troubled by money.

It's not that Andy never thought of robbing villains to make some money, but now SHIELD or SkyEye are too strict in monitoring personal information, once Andy's account suddenly has a large amount of money from unknown sources, it will definitely It is not good to be found after being monitored and analyzed.

Andy wouldn’t be happy if it was connected to the plot, such as helping Iron Man Stark and Batman and asking for some money. Andy never wants to be counted in sacrificing other people for the safety of the earth.

When his strength reaches 100% of the god level, and when he is able to challenge the strength of these organizations, Andy will miss Jinbing Hydra and the like.
