Crazy, 500 yuan also dare to make a science fiction blockbuster

It is somewhat surprising to hear that they have succeeded now.

As soon as he arrived at the company, the leader of the second group came over.

"Director Ye, my name is Chao Chen, and I'm the leader of the second team."

The man introduced that he seemed worried that Ye Heng would forget all of them after too long a time.

"Just now you called to say that bullet time is done?"

"Well, it worked, please follow me."

As he said that, he took Ye Heng to the studio and couldn't help but introduce him to Ye Heng.

"The design of this 'bullet time' took us nearly 3 years, and we tried a lot of methods."

"There are five methods that seem to be more usable at present."

Ye Heng was obviously taken aback when he heard this, "Five ways!"

He originally thought that what they meant by completion meant that it was enough to make this kind of effect, but he didn't expect them to come up with five methods directly!

"Well, there are five methods. The first method was completed two years ago, but the technical level is a bit low, and it is difficult and the effect is poor, so we chose to continue."

Ye Heng nodded when he heard that, "The Matrix" is an epic blockbuster after all, if it is made with too bad effects, it must be not very good.

Not long after, Ye Heng accompanied Chao Chen to the studio.

After entering the studio, Ye Heng saw the employees sitting there, who seemed to be divided into several groups.

"Director Ye, let me introduce you."

"Because up to now, we have researched a total of five types that can capture the time of bullets, so we divided the interior into five groups, each of which conducts its own experiments."

Ye Heng took a look, but he found that among the so-called five groups, there were no one sitting on the office seats of two groups.

After speaking, he led Ye Heng to a group, but there were only computer seats left, and no one was sitting.

"This team is responsible for multi-camera repeated shooting. To put it simply, it is to set up the camera, the actors do the action, and then change the camera position, and do it again."

"That way, after a lot of repetitions, we can get that bullet-time effect that you want."

Ye Heng nodded, looked down at the computer, but found a small layer of dust attached to it.

He touched it with his hand and was sure it was dust, so he frowned.

"Have no one sat in these places for a long time?"

Super Chen nodded, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"This method is the one I just told you about. We are the first to develop a method for shooting bullet time."

"Although this shooting method can greatly reduce the cost, after all, it only needs a camera and actors to move constantly, but it is very troublesome."

"And the effect of shooting is different. After all, it takes a lot of time to turn around, and it is impossible for actors to stay still."

"So it didn't take long for the team responsible for the multi-camera reshoots to give up and join other teams."

Ye Heng nodded, then turned to look at the same empty space on the other side.

Super Chen immediately realized what was happening and explained it.

"That team was shooting with a single camera. The method is to use a high-frame rate camera, and use a mechanical rocker or an electric fan to rotate, so that the camera installed at the end produces a large-scale displacement."

"The effect of shooting in this way is also good, and it is cheaper than other methods, saving time and space."

"The disadvantage is that he can only 'slow down' the speed relatively, but cannot achieve the effect of almost pausing."

"After all, even the speed of the machine's swing is limited, and the time freezing effect cannot be shot."

Speaking of this, Chen Chao seemed to think of something, and added silently, "Of course, if you can develop quantum technology, then it's not impossible."

Hearing this, Ye Heng smiled helplessly.

Quantum technology, I am afraid that I will have to wait decades or even hundreds of years after my death to make this movie.

"What about the remaining three?"

Ye Heng said, looking at the remaining three groups.

Upon hearing this, Super Chen immediately stood up straight and smiled.

I saw him walk to the middle, pull down a projector, then pull down the curtain, and close the window.

"Array group, show Director Ye your research results!"

As soon as the voice fell, a circular camera array appeared on the curtain.

It looked like a large circle with dozens of cameras installed on it.

At this time, Super Chen came over again and explained to Ye Heng.

"Ye Dao, this is called a camera array. A row of cameras surrounds a circle. When an object or a person passes by, control the camera and press the shutter at the same time. The photos taken by each camera become a frame. After connecting these frames, the alright."

Ye Heng nodded, the picture he imagined in his mind sounded pretty good.

"Scene group!"

Super Chen yelled again, and then the image of a person being punched while standing on the green screen appeared on the screen.

"Ye Dao, this is called scene stillness, which is to artificially create a relatively static environment. The camera is constantly shuttling in the scene, and it is completed with some post-production CG."

"This method is more suitable for interspersing large scenes. It can be done with one camera, and the cost is relatively small, but it is only relative."

After speaking, the picture on the screen disappeared.

"What about the last group?" Ye Heng couldn't help asking.

Upon hearing this, Super Chen showed a helpless smile on his face.

"The last team is actually a complete CG technology team. This team can be said to be almost omnipotent, but there is a disadvantage that it burns more money than all the ear methods mentioned above."

"Unless it's the kind of special effects that require [-] cents from the beginning, the speed of burning money is still very fast."

Ye Heng nodded, he understood this quite well.

If you play games and see the CG, you will feel amazing, so you will take a look when you are bored.

As a result, people are directly stupid.

The 3-minute CG cost almost 2000 million Canadian dollars.

And this seems to be the price of more than ten years ago. Now, it may be several times higher.

To be as realistic as possible, and there are so many necessary shots in a movie, I am afraid it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, more than one billionRMB.

If an ordinary director saw this price, he might just give up without saying a word.

But Ye Heng is different, this amount of money is not a big deal to him!

Chapter 323 Striking

After Ye Heng went back, he exchanged the scripts of the "Matrix" trilogy in his mind without any hesitation.

This script costs [-] points, but fortunately, Ye Heng is neither short of money nor points, so he redeemed the scripts of the three movies without the slightest hesitation.

After that, Ye Heng spent a day and a half writing out the thick script, and then printed three copies with a printer.

"it is finally over."

Ye Heng looked at the three scripts in his hand, with a smile on his face.

"Is this the script for the new movie?"

Looking at the heavy script in Ye Heng's hand, John asked curiously.

Ye Heng looked at John with a smile.

"That's right, guess who is the leading actor."

John froze for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

"I?"

"so smart."

With that said, he directly handed a script to John.

John took the script and sat on the sofa beside him, with a smile on his face.

He looked at the name on the script, "The Matrix".

"About hackers?"

"No, you'll understand after reading it."

Seeing this, John didn't ask any more questions, and opened the script to read it.

The beginning of the script was quite normal, but just after reading the beginning, John was stunned by the next paragraph.

real and virtual!Blue Pill and Red Pill!The world of data...

Seeing these incomparably novel concepts appear in front of his eyes, John was deeply shocked.

He just turned over a few pages of the script, perhaps even before reading one-twentieth of it, and was completely shocked by these concepts.

"It seems that I have to digest these things well."

John said with shock in his eyes.

"Look slowly, I'm going out for a while."

"OK."

Not long after, Ye Heng came to the company, handed over the script to Chen Chao, and then talked to him about his film concept.

When he heard the concepts Ye Heng said, he was also extremely shocked, and it took him a while to understand what Ye Heng meant.

"If you shoot a trilogy according to the idea I just said, how much do you think it will cost?"

Super Chen remained silent, this is definitely not a small deal.

"I made a rough estimate. Maybe, probably, at least, this number."

He said, showing a finger.

"1 billion?"

"10 billion, and it's the minimum starting point. I'm afraid it will cost more to actually shoot it. If something goes wrong, 20 billion is not out of the question."

After hearing these words, Ye Heng nodded.

This is not a small investment, starting with a base of 10.

But Ye Heng can be sure that after the film is made, the return he can get will definitely be much higher than the effort.

So after thinking for a second, Ye Heng smiled.

"Start preparations from tomorrow. I will be traveling abroad in the next two days. You are responsible for preparing various measures for special effects."

"In terms of actors and venues, I will let the people in the company handle it."

Seeing Ye Heng agree so readily, Chao Chen couldn't help being taken aback.

But thinking about the global box office of over 100 billion after "The Truman Show" was released, one can understand Ye Heng's confidence.

Even if all kinds of dividends are discarded, what Ye Heng can get is at least about 200 billion RMB.

It doesn't seem like a big deal to spend a tenth of it to make a movie.

Then, Ye Heng asked the company's people to arrange actors. Although he was in Longguo, Ye Heng still wanted to restore the original appearance of "The Matrix" as much as possible.

In addition, Ye Heng also found several large domestic prop companies to produce props.

Moreover, Ye Heng seemed to intend to let people know the news, making it so loud that many people were attracted to it.

And such a big move quickly attracted the attention of netizens.

"Director Ye is preparing some blockbuster movie again. I see a lot of action in the new era movies recently."

"Can I watch Director Ye's movie again! I'm so excited!"

"I remember that Director Ye not only filmed "The Truman Show" abroad, but also made a manga movie. Why didn't that one come out?"

"That movie seems to be still working on special effects. It can be regarded as the one that uses special effects more than any of Director Ye's films. I'm looking forward to it."

"Isn't there another one that was filmed in China? It seems to be filmed at the same time as "Zombie"."
