A different director [entertainment circle]
Chapter 100 100 Years
"Fortress Earth 2" rushed into the box office like Godzilla, rampaging all the way, and the enemies in front of it were ruthlessly crushed by it. The achievements it has achieved are too exaggerated.
In China, the first week of "Fortress Earth 2" directly reached an exaggerated 3700 million Chinese dollars.The box office in North America also reached 4800 million US dollars in the first week!
What kind of data is this?The opening box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" released in the summer vacation of the same year was around 5000 million US dollars!
What makes "Fortress Earth 2" so powerful?
IP influence?You must know that these two movies are sequels of global IPs, and their popularity is definitely higher than the original "Fortress Earth"!
actor?No matter Anis, Xie Beiyang, or Chen Lingfeng, at most they can only be regarded as the appeal of second-tier Hollywood movie stars.
Special effect level?The blockbuster of the same year was not lost to "Fortress Earth 2".
Indeed, the combination of these elements is doomed to success, but the real qualitative change is the Huaguo director named Qin Yan!
A film made by a Chinese director can rival Hollywood's top IP!
The Huaguo film industry is not the only one that is excited about this achievement. Except for the United States, film and television companies all over the world feel that they are shouting for it.
The world has suffered from Hollywood for a long time!
As a lighthouse country that claims to be a lighthouse, it is no exaggeration to say that it controls the most cutting-edge film technology, the most abundant theater resources, and the most influential publicity channels...
It is like a monster, sucking blood from the global film market.
It is not to say that Hollywood has any original sin. All the capitals in the world want to make money and monopolize, without exception.
It's not that Hollywood movies are not good-looking. Hollywood does contribute wonderful movies every year.
It's just that human beings have the instinct to challenge the rulers.
What script is more thrilling and exciting than the change of dynasty?
The birth of Qin Yan made everyone see the possibility of challenging Hollywood.
Of course, Qin Yan has a clear understanding of himself, he knows that his achievements cannot prove that he has defeated Hollywood.
You must know that the production team of "Fortress Earth 2" is also closely related to Hollywood.
Distributors, special effects companies, designers, actors other than Chinese...these are all inseparable from Hollywood's industrial film system.
The current situation, at most, is qualified to cooperate with Hollywood on an equal footing.
Before the arrival of 2008, the global box office has exceeded 3.1 million US dollars.
Originally, after the end of the first week, the box office growth rate of "Fortress Earth 2" slowed down, but because of the appearance of the "Dasha // Forced" event, the box office of "2" rose again.
Some people lament that no matter whether Qin Yan postpones or advances the release, he can launch a powerful challenge to the annual box office champion.
What shocked the global film and television industry the most was the box office of Hua Guo and Sun Guo.
In 2006, the total box office market in Huaguo was only 26 billion. Converted into US dollars, a commercial blockbuster movie can crush it.
But this time Huaguo contributed 11 billion Chinese dollars to Qin Yan's box office!This number made the Beacon Country feel terror and excitement.
They also did not expect that the Huaguo market has such great potential, and they have already begun to think about how to invade Huaguo's box office market.
Make a movie about China?But it seems that such movies are not very popular in the Lighthouse Country, so consider making a Huaguo style cartoon like Disney?
Even conservative directors have begun to consider adding some Chinese characters to the film.
They don't have any nationalism/ethnicism, as long as they can make money, these film and television tycoons can do anything.
Another market that surprised them was the reaction of Sun Nation.
Although the country of the sun is small in size, the box office market of the country of the sun has always been among the best in the world due to its population and per capita income.
But such a country has always been a forbidden area for Hollywood.Hollywood doesn't know how many times it has failed.
Sun Country has always been a very magical market. They do have many wonderful literary and artistic films, but their domestic commercial films are hard to describe.
Except for animation, their commercial films basically cannot go abroad, but commercial films from other countries are also difficult to invade.
But this time, the Sun Kingdom contributed billions of solar dollars to the box office of "Fortress Earth 2"!
Even in Sun's country, this number is enough to be among the best.
Qin Yan has done something that no one else can do.
In addition, some countries that are not dissatisfied with the lighthouse country, such as Tsarist Russia, the Middle East and other countries, also set off a wave of watching "Fortress Earth 2".
在2008年1月底下映的时候,《地球要塞2》的全球票房达到夸张的9.7亿美,仅次于2007年的年度票房冠军《加勒比海盗3》。
Huaguo audiences and other box office markets felt sorry for such a result, and it was almost able to beat the myth of Hollywood.
Hollywood, on the other hand, was shocked into a cold sweat.
While Warner Bros. is making a lot of money, it also feels its position is being challenged.
They need absolute hegemony in the field of film and television. Only a monopoly can bring excess benefits. Their hegemony does not allow anyone to provoke it.
There are two reasons why "Fortress Earth 2" can achieve such a good box office. One is because the quality of "Fortress Earth" is already quite enjoyable. Qin Yan really spent the investment of 1.4 million US dollars on the film.
Moreover, the energy Qin Yan put in to adjust the script before was really unimaginable to others.
Although it can't be called "reading for ten years, adding and deleting five times", it definitely changes its manuscripts a lot.This is the reason why today's "Earth Fortress 2" has a passionate and tearful plot.
Of course, another direct reason is that Qin Yan's propaganda offensive is too exaggerated.
In the lighthouse country alone, the "Earth Fortress" crew held more than ten live events.
Don't doubt Qin Yan's appeal in the Lighthouse Country. Overseas students, ethnic Chinese, and sci-fi fans are enough to block the event venue.
Some media directly said that Qin Yan's publicity method is "begging", selling the popularity of actors and celebrities in exchange for box office.
With Qin Yan's usual temper, he probably wouldn't pay attention to the other party, and it wasn't worth his time wasting.This kind of media is estimated to be able to catch a hot spot in peace.
But what he met was Qin Yan during the business period, a man who used everything to promote the movie.
You want to choose to bombard me?Alright, let's see whose speech is sharper.
"If running publicity can increase the box office, then I can run 365 days a year."
"I run publicity because people read it. Does anyone read the news you write?"
"If you don't want to give me alms, don't write about me and "Earth Fortress"."
A series of sharp remarks directly made these news media speechless.
Qin Yan also admitted that box office performance and publicity are absolutely inseparable.
This is the film market, and audiences can only learn about films through the media and publicity.
If Qin Yan had a global publicity channel, he wouldn't have worked so hard.
How could it be that Qin Yan didn't know that Hollywood's veteran film industry was afraid of him?
What he has to do now is to establish an image that does not rely on publicity channels, so that more and more people will look forward to the movie even after hearing his name.
However, this kind of bombardment and propaganda will indeed make people feel tired.Some people are even praying, "Hurry up and let "Fortress Earth 2" be released, and let Qin Yan enter the long vacation period.
When "Fortress Earth 2" was released, it was already approaching the Chinese New Year.
But considering that there is no news about the shooting of "Fortress Earth 3" at all, according to the shooting speed of "1" and "2", I am afraid that it will have to wait for the release in 2009.
Qin Yan might have to enter the hidden mode again, so thinking about it, the public felt a little lost again.
Human emotions are so complicated.When I could see Qin Yan every day, I would think that this person was chattering, but when I thought that Qin Yan would suddenly fall into the suspension period again, everyone felt sorry.
Sure enough, Qin Yan seemed to evaporate from the world in an instant, and no one knew what he was doing.
The sign that Qin Yan is now closed is also very obvious. When the word Qin Yan cannot be seen on the homepage of Shuidi Video and Weiweidou, it proves that he is "off work".
Everyone can only focus on other Lunar New Year movies. I have to say that 2008 started with many impressive movies.
The quality of many movies was even better than Qin Yan remembered.
I just received the bombing and baptism of "Fortress Earth 2". Everyone knows that only high quality can win the box office.
Nowadays, the number of movies that want to make money with gimmicks is decreasing, and many film industries have begun to make movies in earnest.
"Fortress Earth 2" can be regarded as a successful end to 2007 and a perfect prelude to the film industry in 2008.
No one would have thought that Qin Yan would suddenly jump out 2008 days before the 7 Spring Festival.
He released his fourth Olympic made for the Olympic Games - "Year".
In fact, some people guessed that Qin Yan would definitely continue to shoot Olympic promotional videos, and they had been waiting in secret. They wanted to see what else Qin Yan could do.
Now they have also discovered the characteristics of the promotional film, which is to choose a topic that the West is most interested in, arouse their likes and attention, and let them take the initiative to understand Huaguo culture
Now, everyone guesses that the scope of the theme of the promotional film is even smaller.
Many people mentioned "Spring Festival"
"Spring Festival" has always been a particularly important symbol in China, and its importance is not even less than that of Christmas in Western countries.
Isn't such a festival that highlights national traditions and cultural customs worthy of publicity?
So when they suddenly found a promotional video called "Nian" on Waterdrop Video and Youtube, many people were very excited!
I finally guessed Director Qin's idea correctly!
There is a sense of accomplishment that finally defeated Director Qin!
But when they clicked on "Nian", they found that their imagination of Qin Yan was still too lacking.
If you were asked to shoot the theme of the Spring Festival, what would you do?
If you think about it carefully, you will be able to photograph the happiness and dissatisfaction of Chinese people during the Spring Festival, and you will also be able to photograph the various traditions and customs of the Chinese Spring Festival.
Whether it is Spring Festival couplets, explosions, lion dances, or Lantern Festival, they are indeed very attractive to foreign audiences.
The tone of the promotional video is also very clear, big hits, laughter, family joy, traditional customs...
In any case, the atmosphere of the video must be bright and cheerful.
This is not rigid or boring, just like if you ask Westerners to shoot a video about Christmas, they will definitely choose a romantic and happy tone, after all, this is a happy holiday.
But who knew that when they clicked on "Nian" and looked at the first subtitles, they already felt that something was wrong!
How can the word "Nian" be written in black and withered fonts?
At the beginning of the video, the entire scene and camera are dark, coupled with bursts of inexplicable roars, making the audience feel a little depressed.
Then there are dark clouds, lightning and thunder, squalls and showers. In the face of this extremely bad weather, human beings are too weak and powerless.
From top to bottom, the camera is still a painful reality.On the earth where the people were devastated, blood continued to spread on the earth.
Famine, war, natural disasters, man-made disasters...
From the famine with frozen bones on the road, to the rich villages with smelly wine and meat, all appearances prove that all these disasters happened on the land of Huaguo.
Everyone had one thought in their hearts at that time, it is not appropriate for you to tell me that this is the Spring Festival in Huaguo.
Of course, the audience also found that the scenes in "The Year" were all produced with special effects, not real scenes.
Could it be that Qin Yan wanted to show them a new year in "Earth Fortress".
It's not right, the style of the fortress is not like this either, it is obviously the style of ancient China.
At this time, a huge wild beast suddenly rushed out of the ground and wreaked havoc in the village.Using its horns as weapons, not even armor or walls can stop it.
The body is covered with a red mane, blue eyes and fangs, horns on the head, and shining claws...
It is powerful, rampant, and cruel by nature, killing humans. In just ten seconds, dozens of humans have died under its claws.
The scene was so bloody that some people even began to suspect that maybe "Nian" is not the meaning of "New Year" in my imagination.
Many people who know something about the history of the Spring Festival in Huaguo know it in their hearts.
"Director Qin, unexpectedly chose to approach from this angle. Unexpected, but reasonable!"
Why is the last day of the year called "New Year's Eve"? It is rumored that there is a "Xi" monster that ravages the world.
Some people say that "Xi" is "Nian", which is the same kind of monster; there are also legends that "Nian" is a god who destroyed "Xi".
No matter which version of the legend, "Xi" is an extremely cruel monster.
This is the origin of "New Year's Eve". Due to various reasons, the legend of "New Year's Eve" has been gradually forgotten by people, leaving only various celebration activities.
Western audiences were even more surprised when they saw this scene. When they saw the title and cover, there was only a big word "year", they didn't connect this with the important Spring Festival in Huaguo. What a weird promo.
If it wasn't because this was Qin Yan's official account, they would never have clicked on it.But from the beginning of the video, they couldn't go out again.
The battle of "Xi" is really bloody and cruel. For these plots, the Huaguo audience may feel a little disgusted. After all, the image of "Xi" and "Spring Festival" is too different.
But for Western audiences, they like such bloody plots and scenes.
"Is Director Qin planning to make a stunt again? Doesn't this bring haze to a happy festival?" Many people thought with some concern.
Moreover, Qin Yan did not have the slightest tact when dealing with these shots.
Since it is talking about the monster "Xi", Qin Yan has shown the ferocity of "Xi" in a straight-forward manner.
Everyone feels desperate because of the strength of "Xi". Can ordinary people really resist such a monster?
The plot changed suddenly, and countless human beings came from all directions to fight "Xi".
There is no storyline, no dialogue.
It's just a battle between humans and "Xi"!And it's a life-and-death battle where you will die if you are not careful!
It is indeed a bit boring without a plot explanation, but this part of the battle scene was shot so wonderfully that it completely mobilized the audience's emotions.
And among humans, they also saw many, many familiar faces, all actors who could be named.
These actors are not playing big heroes, but ordinary people.
For example, they saw Xie Beiyang, playing an ordinary soldier with a spear.He didn't even have complete armor on his body, and he didn't have any special abilities at all, but he still held a spear and walked onto the battlefield without fear.
I also saw a lot of older faces, such as Liu Tianming and Xu Hongyi who had worked with Qin Yan. They all had one or two close-ups, but only one or two close-ups.
Even the only time Liu Tianming showed his face was when he was kicked to death by "Xi" and fell to the ground to die, unwilling to die.
Although it was just a glance, everyone could see that Liu Tianming's performance was quite good.But Qin Yan didn't give Liu Tianming more shots at all.
Such a good performance is not close-up.This is an extremely wasteful thing for any director.
There is no way, Qin Yan has too many shots to choose from.
The addition of too many powerful actors has contributed countless wonderful performances.
In "Year", they are ordinary soldiers, fighting desperately for the war.
In this war, there is no one hero, but everyone is a hero.
In fact, for Western audiences, this kind of role arrangement is very uncomfortable.
In the mythology of the West starting from ancient Greece, there are always one or two heroes who can change their fate against the sky, such as Achilles and Odysseus.
Until the superhero comics that were particularly popular in the West in the last century, and the superhero movies that have begun to be adapted now, such as "Superman", "Spiderman", "Batman", etc., all reflect that the West is a person that pays special attention to the individual. A civilization of heroism.
They prefer one or two extremely divine characters who stand up to save the people from fire and water.
They originally thought that there would be gods coming down to earth, heroes coming to reality, and defeating "Xi", but what they saw was endless ordinary people, stepping forward and dying bravely.
Qin Yan's "Nian" is indeed deliberately catering to the favorite themes of the West, such as war, blood, monsters, violence...
But the core of "Nian" is the spirit of Huaguo.
Usually Western audiences are not so interested in such a plot, but "Fortress Earth" has just been released.
Many people are still immersed in the end of the world constructed by Qin Yan, experiencing the conflict of different civilizations.
Now many viewers are willing to learn more about Huaguo culture and people of Huaguo, and are willing to seriously watch the promotional video brought to them by Qin Yan.
It is this subjective liking that allows them to have more and more understanding of the core of Huaguo culture.
Even if this understanding is not clear enough now, but one day, it will spew out.
On the other hand, it is because Qin Yan's narrative structure and camera use are so wonderful.
The terrifying combat power of the monster "Xi", the soldiers and even the people defending their homes one after another, the scenes of the war... make people feel immersive.
And the confrontation between tiny human beings and monsters beyond reality makes people can't help but get excited!
Although there is not a single supernatural hero in "Nian", isn't it also a kind of greatness for human beings to overcome the terror between heaven and earth with their own small bodies?
Isn't the history of human development just like this?
Fight with the sky, fight with the earth, and fight with fate!
The audience vaguely felt the death scene conveyed by Qin Yan behind "Nian".
However, the audience is a little bit dissatisfied, especially the audience in the West who are more accustomed to various special effects of movies. They are keenly aware that the special effects of the promotional film "Year" this time are much lower than their expectations. few.
Also Qin Yan's work, "Earth Fortress 2", which was released just now, can be said to be one of the top special effects movies in the world.
It was only a few weeks ago that I saw such advanced special effects technology. At this time, Qin Yan suddenly brought out a dish that was not so exciting, and there would naturally be a gap.
But they thought about it again, this is just a promotional film after all, how can the special effects of an event promotional film be compared with a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars?
What's more, most of them have heard of it, especially the domestic audience. Qin Yan made a promotional video for the Olympics, and he paid most of the funds.
200. Movie lovers know in their hearts how far [-] million special effects technology can achieve.I'm afraid it's almost enough to build a model for this super big monster.
It is also impossible for them to ask for a free promotional video, how beautiful and perfect the special effects are.
And the flaws are not concealed, the plot and rhythm are really attractive to them.
In the end, after human beings finally defeated "Xi", it was really "the sound of firecrackers to celebrate the year, and the spring breeze to bring warmth into Tusu".
Human beings can settle down and start a business, science and technology develop rapidly, and the family can be reunited every Spring Festival...
"Xi" may not be a real existence, everyone is feeling what "Xi" represents behind.
That is the poverty, disease, hunger, ignorance, and natural disasters that have shrouded human history...
These are the meanings contained in monsters, and human battles are actually the history of human struggle.
After eliminating "Xi", the picture suddenly became brighter.
Those existences that human beings feared the most have been gradually defeated by human beings.
And "Spring Festival" and "Chinese New Year" are the greatest rewards that human beings give to themselves.
At this time, "Nian" finally began to show the customs of the Spring Festival, posting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, giving new year's money...
Western audiences no longer find these Huaguo traditions boring, but find them full of historical charm.
At the same time, this part is completely an artistic display of personal aesthetics.
The same is shooting firecrackers, how the firecrackers explode, the order of the explosion, where to put them, what is the background behind...
If you want to exclude good-looking pictures, it all depends on the skill of the director.
In fact, a lot of content is actually Chinese cultural symbols that foreigners have seen badly.
However, because of Qin Yan's previously foreshadowed, exciting battle plot, coupled with this Qin Yan's picture performance that completely conforms to the common aesthetics of China and foreign countries.
Everyone felt the exciting feeling similar to "Fortress Earth", which made the effect of the whole promotional film infinitely higher.
In terms of the final effect, although the "Year" promotional film was a bit unexpected at the beginning, it got back on track at the end, and the effect must be quite good.
Everyone who saw this felt that Qin Yan's promotional video this time was beyond their expectations.
It's not that the effect of "Nian" is not good. When the Huaguo Spring Festival is approaching, releasing such a promotional video will definitely help promote Huaguo culture.
The problem is that "Nian" is a bit too normal, so normal that it doesn't look like a film made by director Qin Yan.
After all, Qin Yan's showmanship is too much, and the previous few promotional videos are in the front, so everyone is a little surprised.
But this is just a promotional video. Everyone's aesthetics and creativity have certain limits.
Even Qin Yan cannot arouse the shock and attention of the whole world every time.
It can only be said that the promotional film "Nian" has reached the passing line, which is much less stunning than the previous "Sword" and "Food".
""Nian" should be the same as "Wine". Qin Yan is only in charge of directing."
When the credits were played, the result was exactly as the audience guessed.
People in the industry suddenly discovered a very important problem. When they saw the special effects company, they found that Light & Magic was indeed involved in the list of special effects.
But this time, Guangmao was placed in the second place, and the first name was the little-known "Fortress".
In fact, it cannot be said that they are unknown. After all, their exit efficiency is quite high. You can often hear what companies and schools they have cooperated with, how many free lectures they have given, and what kind of cooperation they have with Qin Yan... …
From the point of view of prestige, Fortress Special Effects is vaguely the leader in Hua Guo's current special effects field.
But apart from a few MVs by a few heavenly kings, Fortress has never produced any convincing works.
Moreover, the difficulty of making an MV is not at the same level as the difficulty of making a movie, it is simply a world of difference.
Suddenly telling everyone that the promotional video this time was actually produced by Fortress Special Effects Company, the domestic movie circle was naturally happy and surprised.
The domestic special effects industry is like a tree without roots and helpless. Everyone has been bullied by big foreign companies for too long.
Seeing such a result suddenly now, everyone will feel excited.
They began to study the various special effects in "Nian" carefully, and they finally found out where did they feel that the special effects were inconsistent just now?
It is true that the special effects produced by the Fortress Company are not as sophisticated as Western companies. They do not have so many cutting-edge equipment and professionals.
But this is not the reason for the sense of disobedience, but because the modeling, screen rendering, and artistic expression of "Xi" are all different from those of Western special effects companies.
For example, the image of "Xi" is really in line with the myths and legends of the Chinese people.
Soon some netizens posted on the Internet the "Xi" recorded in various historical myths.
"Its head has tentacles and sharp teeth; its eyes are fierce and fierce."
"It is said that the Nian beast has a big head and a small body. Its body is more than ten feet long. Its eyes are like copper bells, and it comes and goes like the wind.
"Horrible in appearance, ferocious in nature, and specializes in eating birds, beasts, and scales and insects."
"Wherever he went, there were thousands of miles of red land and famine everywhere."
"Nian" has made some changes to the image of "Xi", but still retains most of the descriptions of myths and legends.
This is completely in line with the aesthetics of the people of Huaguo and the legend of Huaguo!
Everyone felt excited. Does this mean that Huaguo's special effects company is about to stand up completely?
When there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, Fortress Special Effects and Weiweidou announced some interesting stories about the production process of "Nian".
Among them, director Qin Yan made another strong appearance, after all, he is the director of "Nian".
When he was in "Earth Fortress 1" before, Qin Yan announced how to make special effects.At that time, Qin Yan communicated with foreigners in English.
Although everyone was impressed by Qin Yan's fluent English, everyone found it painful to share their thoughts with Westerners, especially those with cultural attributes.
There are differences in the basic aesthetics of art, coupled with the gap between language and aesthetics, communication is always difficult.
And the hero communicated with the "Fortress" company without any difficulty at all.
After Qin Yan selected the theme of this promotional film, he sent invitations to several special effects companies to bid for the project.
Although it can't compare to the tens of millions of dollars invested in big movies, Qin Yan also spent a full $100 million in production costs this time.
For a promotional film, this is already an exaggerated price that is unimaginable.In addition to the special effects of the fortress, there are still many companies in the world participating.
100 million US dollars is already a sky-high contract in the eyes of the current Huaguo Company.
But for these Western special effects companies, it can only be regarded as a piece of tasteless food, which is a pity to discard.
The various design plans they came up with were not enough to impress Qin Yan.
Especially after these companies heard that Qin Yan wanted to shoot a monster, they took out the monster models in their material library and pieced them together.
Indeed, there are many well-known monsters, Godzilla and so on.
Their images can all bring a sense of fear and oppression, but the problem is that they are completely different from the images in the traditional Chinese mythology.
Fortress Special Effects learned that they were making "Xi", they began to collect Huaguo documents, and based on these documents, they drew 2D concept sketches.
They drew a total of more than 10 versions of "Xi", and the others did not hesitate to join the community.
At this time, Qin Yan appeared in the camera as the director and expressed his opinion:
"In terms of special effects, Fortress is not as good as foreign teams. But whether it is for the image construction of 'Xi' or the art style, I believe the Huaguo team must be more suitable."
Because of the confidentiality agreement, Qin Yan could not name other companies, let alone show their bidding works for the audience to compare.
But Qin Yan's credibility among the audience is too high now. He said that the fortress company is good, and everyone is willing to believe it.
Immediately, the media conducted an exclusive interview on the special effects of the fortress. In the past, no one and the media would want to interview a special effects company, but now they are flocking to it.
The reason is simple. The special effects of the fortress are related to Qin Yan, which is the degree of attention.
They talked a lot about the problems in the special effects production process.Of course the most important issues are:
"Now that Fortress Special Effects has the ability to produce a promotional film like "The Year", does that mean that Fortress Special Effects has the ability to produce special effects movies? How long will it take for us to see special effects movies belonging to Huaguo?"
The person in charge of the fortress company answered directly, he said:
"I am very grateful to director Qin Yan for giving us such an opportunity, but during the production process, we found that the accumulation of the fortress is still too little."
"Don't watch our promotional video, it's only about 10 minutes, but it took our entire team the first half of the year."
"Those old special effects companies want to make a flame special effect, just call the corresponding special effects directly from their material library. But we need to make it from scratch."
"Flame performance, burning special effects, light feedback...these all take time to accumulate."
"In terms of efficiency, we are still completely inferior to those big companies."
"Working with the current efficiency, it will take 2 years to complete a film, which is unacceptable for any film."
In fact, when it comes to this, the fortress company has already said euphemistically:
For the time being, they have no way to make a movie.
The reporter was also a little disappointed. He was about to smooth things over, but who knew that the person in charge of the fortress company suddenly changed his mouth:
"But you can expect that we will continue to work in this direction."
The reporters were stunned. Are you humbled, or are you making a promise to the audience?
How do you feel that the person in charge of the fortress company answered the interview in a very similar style to a person?
The reporter tried hard to think back, who else could it be besides Qin Yan?
Is this the so-called those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black?
Oh my god, in the future, people in charge of the film industry related to Qin Yan will not answer questions like this, so how will they continue to work in the future?
Qin Yan had indeed discussed these issues with the person in charge of the fortress in advance. Before the final results came out, he must keep a low profile as much as possible and avoid discussing special effects movies.
Although the outside world is very satisfied with the effect of the "Nian" promotional film, the enthusiasm has gradually faded, and the Spring Festival is still a few days away.
Qin Yan finally returned to the country, and has been busy with various jobs, and even failed to have a good time with Xie Beiyang.
In the end, they were about to separate again, so he was naturally a little reluctant, he hugged Xie Beiyang and said:
"Don't go back, stay at home with me."
Qin Yan also did not expect that one day he would make such a gentle request to others, nor did he expect that he would have such a greasy day.
Xie Beiyang has not been home for almost half a year, and has been urged by his family for a long time, so of course it is impossible to agree.
Qin Yan actually knew that he was just selling misery for welfare.
Xie Beiyang suddenly said to Qin Yan.
"Why don't you go to my house to celebrate the New Year this year."
Qin Yan, who has always been fearless, showed a rare hesitant expression at this moment, and he said:
"Is this really appropriate?"
"What's wrong?"
Perhaps the Spring Festival in 2008 is a happy and peaceful day for ordinary people.
But Qin Yan was about to encounter the biggest crisis in his life.
In China, the first week of "Fortress Earth 2" directly reached an exaggerated 3700 million Chinese dollars.The box office in North America also reached 4800 million US dollars in the first week!
What kind of data is this?The opening box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" released in the summer vacation of the same year was around 5000 million US dollars!
What makes "Fortress Earth 2" so powerful?
IP influence?You must know that these two movies are sequels of global IPs, and their popularity is definitely higher than the original "Fortress Earth"!
actor?No matter Anis, Xie Beiyang, or Chen Lingfeng, at most they can only be regarded as the appeal of second-tier Hollywood movie stars.
Special effect level?The blockbuster of the same year was not lost to "Fortress Earth 2".
Indeed, the combination of these elements is doomed to success, but the real qualitative change is the Huaguo director named Qin Yan!
A film made by a Chinese director can rival Hollywood's top IP!
The Huaguo film industry is not the only one that is excited about this achievement. Except for the United States, film and television companies all over the world feel that they are shouting for it.
The world has suffered from Hollywood for a long time!
As a lighthouse country that claims to be a lighthouse, it is no exaggeration to say that it controls the most cutting-edge film technology, the most abundant theater resources, and the most influential publicity channels...
It is like a monster, sucking blood from the global film market.
It is not to say that Hollywood has any original sin. All the capitals in the world want to make money and monopolize, without exception.
It's not that Hollywood movies are not good-looking. Hollywood does contribute wonderful movies every year.
It's just that human beings have the instinct to challenge the rulers.
What script is more thrilling and exciting than the change of dynasty?
The birth of Qin Yan made everyone see the possibility of challenging Hollywood.
Of course, Qin Yan has a clear understanding of himself, he knows that his achievements cannot prove that he has defeated Hollywood.
You must know that the production team of "Fortress Earth 2" is also closely related to Hollywood.
Distributors, special effects companies, designers, actors other than Chinese...these are all inseparable from Hollywood's industrial film system.
The current situation, at most, is qualified to cooperate with Hollywood on an equal footing.
Before the arrival of 2008, the global box office has exceeded 3.1 million US dollars.
Originally, after the end of the first week, the box office growth rate of "Fortress Earth 2" slowed down, but because of the appearance of the "Dasha // Forced" event, the box office of "2" rose again.
Some people lament that no matter whether Qin Yan postpones or advances the release, he can launch a powerful challenge to the annual box office champion.
What shocked the global film and television industry the most was the box office of Hua Guo and Sun Guo.
In 2006, the total box office market in Huaguo was only 26 billion. Converted into US dollars, a commercial blockbuster movie can crush it.
But this time Huaguo contributed 11 billion Chinese dollars to Qin Yan's box office!This number made the Beacon Country feel terror and excitement.
They also did not expect that the Huaguo market has such great potential, and they have already begun to think about how to invade Huaguo's box office market.
Make a movie about China?But it seems that such movies are not very popular in the Lighthouse Country, so consider making a Huaguo style cartoon like Disney?
Even conservative directors have begun to consider adding some Chinese characters to the film.
They don't have any nationalism/ethnicism, as long as they can make money, these film and television tycoons can do anything.
Another market that surprised them was the reaction of Sun Nation.
Although the country of the sun is small in size, the box office market of the country of the sun has always been among the best in the world due to its population and per capita income.
But such a country has always been a forbidden area for Hollywood.Hollywood doesn't know how many times it has failed.
Sun Country has always been a very magical market. They do have many wonderful literary and artistic films, but their domestic commercial films are hard to describe.
Except for animation, their commercial films basically cannot go abroad, but commercial films from other countries are also difficult to invade.
But this time, the Sun Kingdom contributed billions of solar dollars to the box office of "Fortress Earth 2"!
Even in Sun's country, this number is enough to be among the best.
Qin Yan has done something that no one else can do.
In addition, some countries that are not dissatisfied with the lighthouse country, such as Tsarist Russia, the Middle East and other countries, also set off a wave of watching "Fortress Earth 2".
在2008年1月底下映的时候,《地球要塞2》的全球票房达到夸张的9.7亿美,仅次于2007年的年度票房冠军《加勒比海盗3》。
Huaguo audiences and other box office markets felt sorry for such a result, and it was almost able to beat the myth of Hollywood.
Hollywood, on the other hand, was shocked into a cold sweat.
While Warner Bros. is making a lot of money, it also feels its position is being challenged.
They need absolute hegemony in the field of film and television. Only a monopoly can bring excess benefits. Their hegemony does not allow anyone to provoke it.
There are two reasons why "Fortress Earth 2" can achieve such a good box office. One is because the quality of "Fortress Earth" is already quite enjoyable. Qin Yan really spent the investment of 1.4 million US dollars on the film.
Moreover, the energy Qin Yan put in to adjust the script before was really unimaginable to others.
Although it can't be called "reading for ten years, adding and deleting five times", it definitely changes its manuscripts a lot.This is the reason why today's "Earth Fortress 2" has a passionate and tearful plot.
Of course, another direct reason is that Qin Yan's propaganda offensive is too exaggerated.
In the lighthouse country alone, the "Earth Fortress" crew held more than ten live events.
Don't doubt Qin Yan's appeal in the Lighthouse Country. Overseas students, ethnic Chinese, and sci-fi fans are enough to block the event venue.
Some media directly said that Qin Yan's publicity method is "begging", selling the popularity of actors and celebrities in exchange for box office.
With Qin Yan's usual temper, he probably wouldn't pay attention to the other party, and it wasn't worth his time wasting.This kind of media is estimated to be able to catch a hot spot in peace.
But what he met was Qin Yan during the business period, a man who used everything to promote the movie.
You want to choose to bombard me?Alright, let's see whose speech is sharper.
"If running publicity can increase the box office, then I can run 365 days a year."
"I run publicity because people read it. Does anyone read the news you write?"
"If you don't want to give me alms, don't write about me and "Earth Fortress"."
A series of sharp remarks directly made these news media speechless.
Qin Yan also admitted that box office performance and publicity are absolutely inseparable.
This is the film market, and audiences can only learn about films through the media and publicity.
If Qin Yan had a global publicity channel, he wouldn't have worked so hard.
How could it be that Qin Yan didn't know that Hollywood's veteran film industry was afraid of him?
What he has to do now is to establish an image that does not rely on publicity channels, so that more and more people will look forward to the movie even after hearing his name.
However, this kind of bombardment and propaganda will indeed make people feel tired.Some people are even praying, "Hurry up and let "Fortress Earth 2" be released, and let Qin Yan enter the long vacation period.
When "Fortress Earth 2" was released, it was already approaching the Chinese New Year.
But considering that there is no news about the shooting of "Fortress Earth 3" at all, according to the shooting speed of "1" and "2", I am afraid that it will have to wait for the release in 2009.
Qin Yan might have to enter the hidden mode again, so thinking about it, the public felt a little lost again.
Human emotions are so complicated.When I could see Qin Yan every day, I would think that this person was chattering, but when I thought that Qin Yan would suddenly fall into the suspension period again, everyone felt sorry.
Sure enough, Qin Yan seemed to evaporate from the world in an instant, and no one knew what he was doing.
The sign that Qin Yan is now closed is also very obvious. When the word Qin Yan cannot be seen on the homepage of Shuidi Video and Weiweidou, it proves that he is "off work".
Everyone can only focus on other Lunar New Year movies. I have to say that 2008 started with many impressive movies.
The quality of many movies was even better than Qin Yan remembered.
I just received the bombing and baptism of "Fortress Earth 2". Everyone knows that only high quality can win the box office.
Nowadays, the number of movies that want to make money with gimmicks is decreasing, and many film industries have begun to make movies in earnest.
"Fortress Earth 2" can be regarded as a successful end to 2007 and a perfect prelude to the film industry in 2008.
No one would have thought that Qin Yan would suddenly jump out 2008 days before the 7 Spring Festival.
He released his fourth Olympic made for the Olympic Games - "Year".
In fact, some people guessed that Qin Yan would definitely continue to shoot Olympic promotional videos, and they had been waiting in secret. They wanted to see what else Qin Yan could do.
Now they have also discovered the characteristics of the promotional film, which is to choose a topic that the West is most interested in, arouse their likes and attention, and let them take the initiative to understand Huaguo culture
Now, everyone guesses that the scope of the theme of the promotional film is even smaller.
Many people mentioned "Spring Festival"
"Spring Festival" has always been a particularly important symbol in China, and its importance is not even less than that of Christmas in Western countries.
Isn't such a festival that highlights national traditions and cultural customs worthy of publicity?
So when they suddenly found a promotional video called "Nian" on Waterdrop Video and Youtube, many people were very excited!
I finally guessed Director Qin's idea correctly!
There is a sense of accomplishment that finally defeated Director Qin!
But when they clicked on "Nian", they found that their imagination of Qin Yan was still too lacking.
If you were asked to shoot the theme of the Spring Festival, what would you do?
If you think about it carefully, you will be able to photograph the happiness and dissatisfaction of Chinese people during the Spring Festival, and you will also be able to photograph the various traditions and customs of the Chinese Spring Festival.
Whether it is Spring Festival couplets, explosions, lion dances, or Lantern Festival, they are indeed very attractive to foreign audiences.
The tone of the promotional video is also very clear, big hits, laughter, family joy, traditional customs...
In any case, the atmosphere of the video must be bright and cheerful.
This is not rigid or boring, just like if you ask Westerners to shoot a video about Christmas, they will definitely choose a romantic and happy tone, after all, this is a happy holiday.
But who knew that when they clicked on "Nian" and looked at the first subtitles, they already felt that something was wrong!
How can the word "Nian" be written in black and withered fonts?
At the beginning of the video, the entire scene and camera are dark, coupled with bursts of inexplicable roars, making the audience feel a little depressed.
Then there are dark clouds, lightning and thunder, squalls and showers. In the face of this extremely bad weather, human beings are too weak and powerless.
From top to bottom, the camera is still a painful reality.On the earth where the people were devastated, blood continued to spread on the earth.
Famine, war, natural disasters, man-made disasters...
From the famine with frozen bones on the road, to the rich villages with smelly wine and meat, all appearances prove that all these disasters happened on the land of Huaguo.
Everyone had one thought in their hearts at that time, it is not appropriate for you to tell me that this is the Spring Festival in Huaguo.
Of course, the audience also found that the scenes in "The Year" were all produced with special effects, not real scenes.
Could it be that Qin Yan wanted to show them a new year in "Earth Fortress".
It's not right, the style of the fortress is not like this either, it is obviously the style of ancient China.
At this time, a huge wild beast suddenly rushed out of the ground and wreaked havoc in the village.Using its horns as weapons, not even armor or walls can stop it.
The body is covered with a red mane, blue eyes and fangs, horns on the head, and shining claws...
It is powerful, rampant, and cruel by nature, killing humans. In just ten seconds, dozens of humans have died under its claws.
The scene was so bloody that some people even began to suspect that maybe "Nian" is not the meaning of "New Year" in my imagination.
Many people who know something about the history of the Spring Festival in Huaguo know it in their hearts.
"Director Qin, unexpectedly chose to approach from this angle. Unexpected, but reasonable!"
Why is the last day of the year called "New Year's Eve"? It is rumored that there is a "Xi" monster that ravages the world.
Some people say that "Xi" is "Nian", which is the same kind of monster; there are also legends that "Nian" is a god who destroyed "Xi".
No matter which version of the legend, "Xi" is an extremely cruel monster.
This is the origin of "New Year's Eve". Due to various reasons, the legend of "New Year's Eve" has been gradually forgotten by people, leaving only various celebration activities.
Western audiences were even more surprised when they saw this scene. When they saw the title and cover, there was only a big word "year", they didn't connect this with the important Spring Festival in Huaguo. What a weird promo.
If it wasn't because this was Qin Yan's official account, they would never have clicked on it.But from the beginning of the video, they couldn't go out again.
The battle of "Xi" is really bloody and cruel. For these plots, the Huaguo audience may feel a little disgusted. After all, the image of "Xi" and "Spring Festival" is too different.
But for Western audiences, they like such bloody plots and scenes.
"Is Director Qin planning to make a stunt again? Doesn't this bring haze to a happy festival?" Many people thought with some concern.
Moreover, Qin Yan did not have the slightest tact when dealing with these shots.
Since it is talking about the monster "Xi", Qin Yan has shown the ferocity of "Xi" in a straight-forward manner.
Everyone feels desperate because of the strength of "Xi". Can ordinary people really resist such a monster?
The plot changed suddenly, and countless human beings came from all directions to fight "Xi".
There is no storyline, no dialogue.
It's just a battle between humans and "Xi"!And it's a life-and-death battle where you will die if you are not careful!
It is indeed a bit boring without a plot explanation, but this part of the battle scene was shot so wonderfully that it completely mobilized the audience's emotions.
And among humans, they also saw many, many familiar faces, all actors who could be named.
These actors are not playing big heroes, but ordinary people.
For example, they saw Xie Beiyang, playing an ordinary soldier with a spear.He didn't even have complete armor on his body, and he didn't have any special abilities at all, but he still held a spear and walked onto the battlefield without fear.
I also saw a lot of older faces, such as Liu Tianming and Xu Hongyi who had worked with Qin Yan. They all had one or two close-ups, but only one or two close-ups.
Even the only time Liu Tianming showed his face was when he was kicked to death by "Xi" and fell to the ground to die, unwilling to die.
Although it was just a glance, everyone could see that Liu Tianming's performance was quite good.But Qin Yan didn't give Liu Tianming more shots at all.
Such a good performance is not close-up.This is an extremely wasteful thing for any director.
There is no way, Qin Yan has too many shots to choose from.
The addition of too many powerful actors has contributed countless wonderful performances.
In "Year", they are ordinary soldiers, fighting desperately for the war.
In this war, there is no one hero, but everyone is a hero.
In fact, for Western audiences, this kind of role arrangement is very uncomfortable.
In the mythology of the West starting from ancient Greece, there are always one or two heroes who can change their fate against the sky, such as Achilles and Odysseus.
Until the superhero comics that were particularly popular in the West in the last century, and the superhero movies that have begun to be adapted now, such as "Superman", "Spiderman", "Batman", etc., all reflect that the West is a person that pays special attention to the individual. A civilization of heroism.
They prefer one or two extremely divine characters who stand up to save the people from fire and water.
They originally thought that there would be gods coming down to earth, heroes coming to reality, and defeating "Xi", but what they saw was endless ordinary people, stepping forward and dying bravely.
Qin Yan's "Nian" is indeed deliberately catering to the favorite themes of the West, such as war, blood, monsters, violence...
But the core of "Nian" is the spirit of Huaguo.
Usually Western audiences are not so interested in such a plot, but "Fortress Earth" has just been released.
Many people are still immersed in the end of the world constructed by Qin Yan, experiencing the conflict of different civilizations.
Now many viewers are willing to learn more about Huaguo culture and people of Huaguo, and are willing to seriously watch the promotional video brought to them by Qin Yan.
It is this subjective liking that allows them to have more and more understanding of the core of Huaguo culture.
Even if this understanding is not clear enough now, but one day, it will spew out.
On the other hand, it is because Qin Yan's narrative structure and camera use are so wonderful.
The terrifying combat power of the monster "Xi", the soldiers and even the people defending their homes one after another, the scenes of the war... make people feel immersive.
And the confrontation between tiny human beings and monsters beyond reality makes people can't help but get excited!
Although there is not a single supernatural hero in "Nian", isn't it also a kind of greatness for human beings to overcome the terror between heaven and earth with their own small bodies?
Isn't the history of human development just like this?
Fight with the sky, fight with the earth, and fight with fate!
The audience vaguely felt the death scene conveyed by Qin Yan behind "Nian".
However, the audience is a little bit dissatisfied, especially the audience in the West who are more accustomed to various special effects of movies. They are keenly aware that the special effects of the promotional film "Year" this time are much lower than their expectations. few.
Also Qin Yan's work, "Earth Fortress 2", which was released just now, can be said to be one of the top special effects movies in the world.
It was only a few weeks ago that I saw such advanced special effects technology. At this time, Qin Yan suddenly brought out a dish that was not so exciting, and there would naturally be a gap.
But they thought about it again, this is just a promotional film after all, how can the special effects of an event promotional film be compared with a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars?
What's more, most of them have heard of it, especially the domestic audience. Qin Yan made a promotional video for the Olympics, and he paid most of the funds.
200. Movie lovers know in their hearts how far [-] million special effects technology can achieve.I'm afraid it's almost enough to build a model for this super big monster.
It is also impossible for them to ask for a free promotional video, how beautiful and perfect the special effects are.
And the flaws are not concealed, the plot and rhythm are really attractive to them.
In the end, after human beings finally defeated "Xi", it was really "the sound of firecrackers to celebrate the year, and the spring breeze to bring warmth into Tusu".
Human beings can settle down and start a business, science and technology develop rapidly, and the family can be reunited every Spring Festival...
"Xi" may not be a real existence, everyone is feeling what "Xi" represents behind.
That is the poverty, disease, hunger, ignorance, and natural disasters that have shrouded human history...
These are the meanings contained in monsters, and human battles are actually the history of human struggle.
After eliminating "Xi", the picture suddenly became brighter.
Those existences that human beings feared the most have been gradually defeated by human beings.
And "Spring Festival" and "Chinese New Year" are the greatest rewards that human beings give to themselves.
At this time, "Nian" finally began to show the customs of the Spring Festival, posting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, giving new year's money...
Western audiences no longer find these Huaguo traditions boring, but find them full of historical charm.
At the same time, this part is completely an artistic display of personal aesthetics.
The same is shooting firecrackers, how the firecrackers explode, the order of the explosion, where to put them, what is the background behind...
If you want to exclude good-looking pictures, it all depends on the skill of the director.
In fact, a lot of content is actually Chinese cultural symbols that foreigners have seen badly.
However, because of Qin Yan's previously foreshadowed, exciting battle plot, coupled with this Qin Yan's picture performance that completely conforms to the common aesthetics of China and foreign countries.
Everyone felt the exciting feeling similar to "Fortress Earth", which made the effect of the whole promotional film infinitely higher.
In terms of the final effect, although the "Year" promotional film was a bit unexpected at the beginning, it got back on track at the end, and the effect must be quite good.
Everyone who saw this felt that Qin Yan's promotional video this time was beyond their expectations.
It's not that the effect of "Nian" is not good. When the Huaguo Spring Festival is approaching, releasing such a promotional video will definitely help promote Huaguo culture.
The problem is that "Nian" is a bit too normal, so normal that it doesn't look like a film made by director Qin Yan.
After all, Qin Yan's showmanship is too much, and the previous few promotional videos are in the front, so everyone is a little surprised.
But this is just a promotional video. Everyone's aesthetics and creativity have certain limits.
Even Qin Yan cannot arouse the shock and attention of the whole world every time.
It can only be said that the promotional film "Nian" has reached the passing line, which is much less stunning than the previous "Sword" and "Food".
""Nian" should be the same as "Wine". Qin Yan is only in charge of directing."
When the credits were played, the result was exactly as the audience guessed.
People in the industry suddenly discovered a very important problem. When they saw the special effects company, they found that Light & Magic was indeed involved in the list of special effects.
But this time, Guangmao was placed in the second place, and the first name was the little-known "Fortress".
In fact, it cannot be said that they are unknown. After all, their exit efficiency is quite high. You can often hear what companies and schools they have cooperated with, how many free lectures they have given, and what kind of cooperation they have with Qin Yan... …
From the point of view of prestige, Fortress Special Effects is vaguely the leader in Hua Guo's current special effects field.
But apart from a few MVs by a few heavenly kings, Fortress has never produced any convincing works.
Moreover, the difficulty of making an MV is not at the same level as the difficulty of making a movie, it is simply a world of difference.
Suddenly telling everyone that the promotional video this time was actually produced by Fortress Special Effects Company, the domestic movie circle was naturally happy and surprised.
The domestic special effects industry is like a tree without roots and helpless. Everyone has been bullied by big foreign companies for too long.
Seeing such a result suddenly now, everyone will feel excited.
They began to study the various special effects in "Nian" carefully, and they finally found out where did they feel that the special effects were inconsistent just now?
It is true that the special effects produced by the Fortress Company are not as sophisticated as Western companies. They do not have so many cutting-edge equipment and professionals.
But this is not the reason for the sense of disobedience, but because the modeling, screen rendering, and artistic expression of "Xi" are all different from those of Western special effects companies.
For example, the image of "Xi" is really in line with the myths and legends of the Chinese people.
Soon some netizens posted on the Internet the "Xi" recorded in various historical myths.
"Its head has tentacles and sharp teeth; its eyes are fierce and fierce."
"It is said that the Nian beast has a big head and a small body. Its body is more than ten feet long. Its eyes are like copper bells, and it comes and goes like the wind.
"Horrible in appearance, ferocious in nature, and specializes in eating birds, beasts, and scales and insects."
"Wherever he went, there were thousands of miles of red land and famine everywhere."
"Nian" has made some changes to the image of "Xi", but still retains most of the descriptions of myths and legends.
This is completely in line with the aesthetics of the people of Huaguo and the legend of Huaguo!
Everyone felt excited. Does this mean that Huaguo's special effects company is about to stand up completely?
When there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, Fortress Special Effects and Weiweidou announced some interesting stories about the production process of "Nian".
Among them, director Qin Yan made another strong appearance, after all, he is the director of "Nian".
When he was in "Earth Fortress 1" before, Qin Yan announced how to make special effects.At that time, Qin Yan communicated with foreigners in English.
Although everyone was impressed by Qin Yan's fluent English, everyone found it painful to share their thoughts with Westerners, especially those with cultural attributes.
There are differences in the basic aesthetics of art, coupled with the gap between language and aesthetics, communication is always difficult.
And the hero communicated with the "Fortress" company without any difficulty at all.
After Qin Yan selected the theme of this promotional film, he sent invitations to several special effects companies to bid for the project.
Although it can't compare to the tens of millions of dollars invested in big movies, Qin Yan also spent a full $100 million in production costs this time.
For a promotional film, this is already an exaggerated price that is unimaginable.In addition to the special effects of the fortress, there are still many companies in the world participating.
100 million US dollars is already a sky-high contract in the eyes of the current Huaguo Company.
But for these Western special effects companies, it can only be regarded as a piece of tasteless food, which is a pity to discard.
The various design plans they came up with were not enough to impress Qin Yan.
Especially after these companies heard that Qin Yan wanted to shoot a monster, they took out the monster models in their material library and pieced them together.
Indeed, there are many well-known monsters, Godzilla and so on.
Their images can all bring a sense of fear and oppression, but the problem is that they are completely different from the images in the traditional Chinese mythology.
Fortress Special Effects learned that they were making "Xi", they began to collect Huaguo documents, and based on these documents, they drew 2D concept sketches.
They drew a total of more than 10 versions of "Xi", and the others did not hesitate to join the community.
At this time, Qin Yan appeared in the camera as the director and expressed his opinion:
"In terms of special effects, Fortress is not as good as foreign teams. But whether it is for the image construction of 'Xi' or the art style, I believe the Huaguo team must be more suitable."
Because of the confidentiality agreement, Qin Yan could not name other companies, let alone show their bidding works for the audience to compare.
But Qin Yan's credibility among the audience is too high now. He said that the fortress company is good, and everyone is willing to believe it.
Immediately, the media conducted an exclusive interview on the special effects of the fortress. In the past, no one and the media would want to interview a special effects company, but now they are flocking to it.
The reason is simple. The special effects of the fortress are related to Qin Yan, which is the degree of attention.
They talked a lot about the problems in the special effects production process.Of course the most important issues are:
"Now that Fortress Special Effects has the ability to produce a promotional film like "The Year", does that mean that Fortress Special Effects has the ability to produce special effects movies? How long will it take for us to see special effects movies belonging to Huaguo?"
The person in charge of the fortress company answered directly, he said:
"I am very grateful to director Qin Yan for giving us such an opportunity, but during the production process, we found that the accumulation of the fortress is still too little."
"Don't watch our promotional video, it's only about 10 minutes, but it took our entire team the first half of the year."
"Those old special effects companies want to make a flame special effect, just call the corresponding special effects directly from their material library. But we need to make it from scratch."
"Flame performance, burning special effects, light feedback...these all take time to accumulate."
"In terms of efficiency, we are still completely inferior to those big companies."
"Working with the current efficiency, it will take 2 years to complete a film, which is unacceptable for any film."
In fact, when it comes to this, the fortress company has already said euphemistically:
For the time being, they have no way to make a movie.
The reporter was also a little disappointed. He was about to smooth things over, but who knew that the person in charge of the fortress company suddenly changed his mouth:
"But you can expect that we will continue to work in this direction."
The reporters were stunned. Are you humbled, or are you making a promise to the audience?
How do you feel that the person in charge of the fortress company answered the interview in a very similar style to a person?
The reporter tried hard to think back, who else could it be besides Qin Yan?
Is this the so-called those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black?
Oh my god, in the future, people in charge of the film industry related to Qin Yan will not answer questions like this, so how will they continue to work in the future?
Qin Yan had indeed discussed these issues with the person in charge of the fortress in advance. Before the final results came out, he must keep a low profile as much as possible and avoid discussing special effects movies.
Although the outside world is very satisfied with the effect of the "Nian" promotional film, the enthusiasm has gradually faded, and the Spring Festival is still a few days away.
Qin Yan finally returned to the country, and has been busy with various jobs, and even failed to have a good time with Xie Beiyang.
In the end, they were about to separate again, so he was naturally a little reluctant, he hugged Xie Beiyang and said:
"Don't go back, stay at home with me."
Qin Yan also did not expect that one day he would make such a gentle request to others, nor did he expect that he would have such a greasy day.
Xie Beiyang has not been home for almost half a year, and has been urged by his family for a long time, so of course it is impossible to agree.
Qin Yan actually knew that he was just selling misery for welfare.
Xie Beiyang suddenly said to Qin Yan.
"Why don't you go to my house to celebrate the New Year this year."
Qin Yan, who has always been fearless, showed a rare hesitant expression at this moment, and he said:
"Is this really appropriate?"
"What's wrong?"
Perhaps the Spring Festival in 2008 is a happy and peaceful day for ordinary people.
But Qin Yan was about to encounter the biggest crisis in his life.
