Chapter 122 Interstellar Is Complete!

On the morning of August 10, the capital.

Chen Xiao drove into the parking lot of the film and television city.

Post-production starts today.

Post-production includes editing, sound processing, color grading, visual effects, film output and quality inspection.

The actors' performances were done during the filming process.

The next task is to shoot the shots of the universe, color grading and special effects.

In a breakfast shop 500 meters away from the studio of "Interstellar".

Two special effects artists of the crew are eating breakfast.

The lady on the left is nearly 40 years old and has a capable black short hair.

She is a famous special effects artist in the industry, named Fan Yue.

She drinks soy milk while checking her schedule.

"Lao Zhang, it's written on the schedule that we'll start working on the unmanned scenes in the universe today. These are all big scenes, right? But we don't have a special effects director."

"The chief director, he's also the special effects director."

"Director Chen has a good idea, he can give us ideas. But we still need a special effects director to provide production plans and design special effects, right? Although we can do it, who will take the lead?"

"Oh, I've thought about this too. I heard from Director Fang that Director Chen will definitely do special effects, and he's very good at it, although he hasn't seen it either."

Fan Yue frowned slightly.

Most people are very confident, but Director Fang is very confident.

However, there seems to be no other explanation for the scenes in the universe except that the director designed the special effects himself.

Maybe Director Chen is really a master of special effects.

Lao Zhang put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "Okay, let's go, let's meet."

The two left the breakfast shop and walked towards the studio.

...

Ten minutes later.

"What? Real shooting?!"

The two stood at the door of the studio, a little confused.

Real shooting of the spacecraft in space?

This is even more outrageous than telling them that Chen Xiao is a special effects expert.

Chen Xiao was holding a pile of documents and was a little confused. "Yes, I didn't notify you yesterday, did I?"

The two looked at each other.

Yesterday, Chen Xiao x-on:a group of people in the group, saying that they would come to make the universe scene.

They thought they were missed, so they came directly.

"Since you are here, come in. I will tell you about the special effects by the way."

The two followed Chen Xiao into the studio.

I saw a 5-meter-high model of the Eternal Space Station was erected.

Ten meters away, a round hole with a diameter of ten centimeters was dug in the middle of a huge black curtain.

A yellow-white light passed through the round hole. But it did not hit the Eternal directly, but hit it sideways.

A faint halo appeared on the Eternal.

"You two take a seat first, I will be back later." After saying that, Chen Xiao walked towards the cameraman.

As soon as he left, Fang Rong also passed by with documents.

"Hey, Director Fang." Fan Yue stopped him, "Which scene are you shooting?"

Fang Rong replied, "The sun shines on the Eternity."

"But it's very dark."

"Use long exposure to shoot, the effect is very good."

The two looked at each other in surprise.

So it was really shot all the time?

I thought Director Chen would do special effects if he didn't need a special effects director, but after all the fuss, there weren't many special effects.

In fact, they were not wrong. Chen Xiao not only knows how to do special effects, but also has master-level special effects technology.

But the purpose of special effects is to simulate reality.

The end of the sense of the future is also the reality of the future.

So, the final approach became almost all real shooting. If it doesn't work, then add special effects.

"Director Fang, do you have other tasks after shooting this scene?"

Fan Yue asked tentatively.

She suddenly felt a little worried. Would the special effects team have nothing to do?

Fang Rong thought for a moment and replied, "Blow up the space station. There is also a large model that is more than ten meters high. I plan to shoot it at a speed of 72 frames per second to capture the details clearly."

The two of them took a breath.

They had seen the model before and thought that they would take it to exhibition and construction after shooting to recover the investment.

It was blown up directly?

Old Zhang asked in surprise, "Is the budget enough?"

Fang Rong shrugged indifferently, "Chen Xiao paid, he can blow it up if he wants."

Seeing that the two did not understand, Fang Rong added, "He is also the producer, investing 70%."

The two were slightly stunned and suddenly felt a little jealous.

So rich!

No wonder they keep blowing things up, and they are not afraid of accountability from the superiors.

So they pay for it themselves!

This is shooting an interstellar journey, and blowing up the crossing tool. If they shoot something about the earth, they will blow up the earth as well?

"Sit down, both of you. I have work to do. I'll leave you first."

Looking at Fang Rong's busy back, Fan Yue sighed slowly.

Who would have thought that in a sci-fi film crew, the special effects team would have such a low presence.

Lao Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay. There will definitely be work in a few days."

Fan Yue nodded helplessly.

...

18 days later, on August 29, the special effects team ended their short week of work and went home.

Others were left to continue to output the film and quality inspection.

Two days later, on August 31.

Chen Xiao came to the Ministry of Culture with the CD and knocked on the door of Li Zhiming's office.

"Come in."

Chen Xiao pushed the door open.

Li Zhiming saw that it was him, and a kind smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Xiao Chen is here." He stood up and opened the cabinet door next to him, looking up and down at various teas, "What do you want to drink?"

"No, no, you're welcome."

This enthusiasm made Chen Xiao a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention the first time I met Li Zhiming, even when we met at the hotel last month, he was a dignified old cadre.

Now he is as kind as an old grandfather, which makes people feel a little cold.

Chen Xiao put the disc on his desk, "Minister Li, this is the finished film."

Li Zhiming took out a box of tea leaves, pressed the bell on the desk, and said, "I will check with the Ministry of Science and Technology to see if there is any problem, and then go through the process. I estimate that I will give you a reply within a week."

"Okay."

Chen Xiao nodded in agreement.

He filmed according to the script, so there should be no problem.

After the review is completed, there are still 20 days to arrange the release.

If it were another movie, the time would be very tight.

But he doesn't have to worry. More than 50 distributors at home and abroad have contacted the crew. As long as it passes the review, let alone 20 days, even if there are only 10 days left, they can release "Interstellar".

Just as Chen Xiao was about to say goodbye, there was a knock at the door.

Secretary He walked in.

Li Zhiming handed him the tea leaves, "Xiao He, help me make some."

"Okay."

"Chen Xiao, come, sit down." Li Zhiming walked towards the sofa, "You plan to start a company, right?"

"Yes, probably in February or March next year."

"Well, it's good to start a company. I'm optimistic about you if you keep the quality of your work." After a few compliments, Li Zhiming paused and smiled, "What do you plan to do during that time?"

At this point, Chen Xiao also guessed it.

It's time to work, right?

Of course he is willing to continue to cooperate with the Ministry of Culture.

The purpose of the Ministry of Culture is to spread culture, and his purpose is to make money.

There is no conflict of interest, and it is quite comfortable to cooperate.

Unfortunately, after the establishment of the company, it is not so convenient to cooperate with Li Zhiming in the name of a private enterprise.

Li Zhiming is easily accused of "helping monopoly".

But he is still a free director now, and with the success of "Farewell My Concubine", he does not have so many concerns for the time being.

Chen Xiao replied, "We should make another movie."

Li Zhiming smiled and said, "Want to work together on one?"

"What's the theme?"

Li Zhiming took out a stack of documents from the side and handed them to Chen Xiao, "Take your pick."
