Chapter 405 Do Your Best

Saturday, December 4th.

The seventh floor of the building where Minghu Culture Company is located.

In an office, the staff was repeatedly playing a nine-second video to Li Qian.

Around Li Qian, there were three or four staff members around, and they watched the picture played on the screen with him repeatedly—the White Lady, Bai Suzhen folded her hands together, and suddenly there was a cloud of lustrous white light condensing above her fingertips , Then, she stretched out her finger, and a pale white light beam shaped like a lightsaber quickly struck out!

On the screen, landslides and rocks crack!

Anyone who watches TV dramas knows that this is definitely a fake, and even those with a little imagination can understand that the scene of landslides and rocks cracking must have been blown up with explosives, but it doesn’t matter if you know it, everyone knows that this is acting, It’s telling a story, but the problem is, as the storyteller and the filmmaker, you can’t use this as an excuse to relax the requirements for the picture.

Outside the story, everyone knows that it is fake and it was shot on purpose, but inside the story, it is and must be true—even, for a film and television drama, the top picture is , Let the audience clearly know that it is fake, but it still feels true!

To achieve this step, it is necessary to rely on the actor's entry and performance in the place where the play is performed, but the effort outside the performance must be processed and processed in the later stage.

The original "Legend of the White Lady" in Li Qian's memory is of course extremely high-level in terms of actors' performances, but limited by the background of the times, technological strength, and the amount of investment at that time, although the special effects have been achieved It was of a high standard at the time, but it has to be said that it was still very fake.

The development of the times is really too fast. When a top-level work like "Legend of the White Snake" was filmed in the early 1990s, I had to leave such a regret, but in fact, it took less than ten years. The foreign "Titanic" has made the special effects of the 2D era almost perfect!

But now, in another time and space, the time when Li Qian shot it was already at the same time as the big boat. According to Li Qian’s knowledge, the big boat was photographed there for two full years. It is in the later stage, so, theoretically speaking, since the big ship can achieve that level, it means that the era of special effects is about to begin, and although the domestic scientific and technological strength is slightly weaker, as long as you put your heart into it, at least you should not compete with the other party. There is that qualitative gap.

In fact, in this time and space, domestic technological strength and economic strength are far superior to those of the same time and space in another time and space. Therefore, Li Qian is confident and has prepared enough money to make the best use of the special effects of this drama. It is possible to do the best at the moment, and strive not to leave any regrets for myself and this drama.

For this reason, when he decided to make this film, he has already started to contact several small and medium-sized image processing studios in China, whether it is acquisitions or joint ventures, in short, he wants to recruit those people, and then, she He also authorized Qi Jie to buy the sixth and seventh floors of this building in his own name.

At the beginning of September this year, the signboard of the Minghu Cultural Image Processing Center was put up on the seventh floor where Li Qian is located, and then intensive decoration was carried out. The image processing equipment has been stationed and installed, and detailed decoration has been carried out. By the end of November, dozens of people have moved in here, and they are ready to start working at any time while debugging the equipment.

At the beginning of December, after the TV series "Legend of the New White Snake" officially closed, and Li Qian returned to Shuntian Mansion, the place became more and more lively, seven days a week, at least ten hours a day, there were dozens of computers and large professional Advanced image processing equipment is in operation.

To be honest, it doesn’t cost much to buy those small and medium-sized studios. Although you have to promise future equity and dividends to the other party, in Li Qian’s view, it is from the perspective of the future, after understanding the gold content of special effects. Look, it's not that much of an investment. It's the equipment that's really worth the money.

That's it, in fact, what Minghu Culture bought was only a batch of relatively ordinary equipment, the real first-class technology, the company over there in Hollywood would never sell it!

But even so, after spending a large sum of money, Li Qian still couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of accomplishment when he saw the first scene of special effects made by this group of staff!

Of course, it's not perfect.

Li Qian watched it over and over a dozen times, then motioned for a pause, turned his head and said to Lu Ming, the leader in charge of the image processing center, "Although I know that the current domestic satellite signal is good, it is still the resolution of TV dramas at home. , It’s not enough to see too much clearly, but you pay attention...Give me the first frame, yes, stop! When Bai Suzhen has this ball of light in her hand, pay attention to this place, this area, Obviously, the frame is dropping, the color is wrong, and the clarity is not up to the normal level! Perhaps, it can’t be seen on TV, but will sell VCD in the future? What about DVD? Or, with the advancement of technology in the future , The audience wants to buy a very high-definition version for collection? This place becomes a deficiency, right? "

Lu Ming licked his lips and nodded.

He graduated from the Department of Computer Science at Suncheon University. After graduation, he went to the United States to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D., and then worked in Hollywood for three or four years. Quite good, but he is an outsider, and he has never been able to get any work in the film and television industry. After two years, his wits and confidence when he started his business have been worn down. When Li Qian contacted him , he is already considering disposing of the company and going back to the United States.

Then, for his half-dead company, Li Qian bought it at a premium of 50%, and, in addition to high salary and bonus, he also promised him a certain amount of dividends and options in the future. Then, he decided to join at that time, and Served as the manager of the image processing center of Minghu Culture Company.

And now, obviously, the time has come to test his strength and the strength of the new team formed after integrating several small companies and small studios with him.

He is a technical person, but of course he is also an absolute practical person.

After understanding Li Qian's new request, other than nodding his head in agreement, his response was only one sentence, "It's a bit difficult. The jobs I took in the past were not so demanding, but let me give it a try. In a few days, we can definitely do it!"

Li Qian really likes this kind of technical school and practical school!

Upon hearing this, he patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work!" Then he asked, "By the way, how did you think about that long transformation? Do you have any ideas?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Lu Ming was immediately excited. He snapped his fingers and made a gesture to the technician in front of the computer, so the technician quickly called up a video.

This is a simulated video.

The background of the video is that Jin Han filmed some mountain scenery in Zhangjiajie according to Li Qian's request. After the crew closed the film and returned to Suncheon, Li Qian edited this part first.

Basically, this is the scene that will appear in the first episode of the whole play-Bai Suzhen has cultivated a human body!

The scenery was beautiful at first, but what was cut in later was the scene of lightning and thunder that Lao Jin finally captured after guarding Zhangjiajie for seven or eight days. Cutting here means that the white snake has reached a critical point and is about to cross the border. After the thunder calamity, she became Bai Suzhen.

On the screen, there is a very simple line swimming between the peaks. Lu Ming pointed to the line on the screen and said: "Right here, we are going to let her raise her head to the sky, and she will roar when she is dubbing, and then, It just swims like this, going faster and faster, and then, yes, pause, she spits out the beads, let her own snake beads be baptized by the thunder, and then swallows them back, it's OK! How? Oh, yes, Bring out the white snake that Zhu Mingyu helped us design..."

During the conversation, the technicians brought up a design draft, which has not yet been painted, but it has begun to appear.

Huge snake god, dense scales, wide open mouth——

Li Qian looked at it for a long time, and said, "Is this painted by Zhu Mingyu?"

Lu Ming shrugged and said, "Of course, oh, after we discussed it, she drew it according to the results of our discussion!"

Li Qian nodded, and said: "Basically, it's good, but, pay attention, remove a little bit of its ferocious and wild taste, and now this white snake... By the way, there is also the one with the head held high that you just said. The sky roars, don't want that, the image of the white snake is gentle and kind, we don't want this animal side."

At this time, before Lu Ming could speak, someone beside Li Qian couldn't help but said: "But the white snake is a monster? And its cultivation should be to fight against the law of heaven and survive the thunder disaster. If she was so gentle when she was a snake, Isn't that a little unreasonable?"

Hearing this, Li Qian turned his head to look at that person in surprise, then smiled and said: "You are right, you can cultivate an adult for thousands of years under such difficult conditions, let alone animal nature, her ferocity, even What we can't imagine, simply speaking, let alone cultivation, she must have adapted to the law of the jungle after so many years of survival, but this is not the story we want! In our story, Bai Suzhen is so kind! "

After a pause, he said with a smile: "The "Journey to the West" filmed by Huaxia TV is so classic, you can see how demonic it is when you look at that stone monkey? In fact? It's the demon king! So, if you really want to So a fierce white lady, let others analyze it in the future, let's ask for one thing now, consistent in order. It can't appear fierce in the front, kind and gentle in the back, then it's a bit off topic!"

Several staff members looked at each other, then nodded, and Lu Ming snapped his fingers, "Okay, no problem, you are the director and the boss, what do you say, how do we work!"

Li Qian smiled and patted him on the shoulder. At this moment, someone knocked on the door suddenly. When Li Qian turned around, he saw Jin Han pushing the door and coming in with a bag on his shoulder.

While entering the door, he smiled and said, "I knew that as long as you were not on the eighth floor, you would definitely come here!"

Li Qian smiled and waved at him, "Lao Jin, come and have a look! Let's see how our studio works!"

Jin Han walked over and nodded to Lu Ming.

The technicians called out the special effects clip that was cut into the White Lady vs. Maoshan Taoist just now, and clicked to play. Jin Han stood beside Li Qian. After watching it for the first time, his brows were already wrinkled, but seeing After the second time, his brows loosened instead.

Li Qian smiled and asked: "How is it?"

Jin Han smiled and nodded, "Not bad not bad!"

Li Qian just laughed, "You are an expert in video games, why, do you really think it's good?"

Jin Han turned his head to look at Li Qian, smiled "hehe", and pointed to the screen, "There are obvious frame drops in this picture that has been processed by special effects, and the pixels of the picture have dropped too much, but there is nothing wrong with it." Question, this is not a movie or a TV series, even if it is Huaxia TV with the highest technical level, if the satellite signal is sent out, you can’t see anything. Besides, even if your signal frequency is high enough, the TV set at ordinary people’s homes will not work. ! This is not a one-sided thing, as far as this level is concerned, it is enough for the moment!"

Li Qian smiled again when he heard the words, turned his head to look at Jin Han's bag, and patted Lu Ming's shoulder again, "I won't delay things here, you hurry up and start working!" Then he said to Jin Han: "Go, let's go upstairs Go up and talk!"

…………

The two came to the eighth floor, Li Qian's office.

Jin Han walked in and sat down on the sofa, while Li Qian checked his work schedule first, and then sat down on the sofa——

After entering the junior year, the photography department's courses are much more relaxed. There are only eleven major classes a week, and they are all concentrated from Monday to Thursday, completely freeing up the three days from Friday to Sunday.

To some extent, although the school still does not support students going out to pick up jobs before their senior year, it is not rigid enough to strictly guard against it. In this society, employment is king. Just look at this schedule and you will know that from the school’s From a perspective, there is still a certain amount of time for the students of this school to go out to pick up jobs.

But even so, Li Qian's daily time is still not enough.

Even now that the episode of "Legend of the New White Snake" is being rehearsed, Li Qian has no time to go and listen to it. He can only wait for a few days to get a clue before meeting He Runqing and the others.

Li Qian went over to sit down, and while watching the secretary Qi Jie arranged for him make tea and pour water, he asked, "Brother Yu called me yesterday afternoon and said that "Love in Scallion" has been cut, let me watch it in the afternoon." , did he call you too?"

Jin Han nodded and said, "Yes, we will go there together later."

Just this sentence, after finishing speaking, he fell silent again.

Normally, he is a talkative person, but today, he is a bit abnormal.

So, when the secretary finished pouring the tea, Li Qian smiled and asked again, "Where's the book? Have you corrected it? Since it's all here, why don't you take it out?"

Jin Han looked up at Li Qian, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to grab the bag on his shoulder, took out a bound script, held it in his hand, paused for a long time, and said: "I know, that book, nine times out of ten, I still need it." Losing money! So, I suppressed it first, this is another book!"

After finishing speaking, with a "snap", he slapped the script on the coffee table, raised his head, and said, "I don't dare to say that I earn too much from this book, but I promise you, I can't pay it back!"

"Yo?" Li Qian was surprised, and smiled immediately: "It's rare that you, Brother Jin, are going to start making movies that can make money? What kind of subject?" While speaking, Li Qian reached for the script, but Jin Han's hand was firmly pressed down, Li Qian pulled it, but it didn't move.

He raised his head in surprise and looked at Jin Han.

Jin Han looked at him, "You can read the script later, even if you are not satisfied, I can change it again! But, I have a prerequisite, let's talk about it first."

Li Qian raised his eyebrows, smiled and retracted his hand, thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, tell me."

Jin Han looked at him, pursed his lips tightly, and then, after holding back for a long time, he finally spoke, "You play the male lead in this play!"

Li Qian froze for a moment, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Me? Play the leading role?"

Jin Han nodded without hesitation.

***

Last night's single chapter on asking for leave, in fact, the original intention was really just to ask for a leave, because I felt that the entry point of the orgasm that I thought of was not cool enough, so I wanted to think about it again, but I was afraid that everyone would not be able to continue to ask for leave. I was happy, so I made a little joke. I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and it seems to make many readers and friends unhappy. This is really... Of course, I don't blame you, but me.

Don't say anything, I'll code the words, and you can just read the book.
