The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 329 326.Open the door

  In November, Bomi Pictures’ "Wandering Earth" was demonstrated internally in the Bomi Hall of the Imperial Capital.

   said it was an internal demonstration, in fact, it was to give the boss a look, let Cao Yang see the actual effect of the film, and also make some preliminary preparations for the upcoming release.

  Bomi’s Bo Xuetang can accommodate more than 400 people, which is a bit more spacious than the IMAX theater on the line of the general cinema.

  Furthermore, the Bo Xuetang’s screen is quite large. If it is not used for presentations and demonstrations, it can be used to play movies.

  However, in the entire company, except for the president's office, no one dares to watch movies here.

  The people sitting in Bo Xuetang today are basically the top executives of Bomi.

Ai Xiaomi, CEO of Bomi Pictures, Cao Yang, Chairman of Bomi Group, Liu Guangran, CTO of Bomi Group, Deng Peiqiang, head of the engine department, and Yang Junrong, CEO of Bomi Music, as well as Zou Jielun and Xie Tingfeng of Xiangjiang also watched here. .

  As the producer of "The Wandering Earth", Ai Xiaomi is also the main presenter of today.

  Liu Guangran was purely here to join in the fun. He said that after living so long in his life, it was the first time to see a domestic science fiction blockbuster, and it was still in 3D, so he wanted to see the effect.

Deng Peiqiang is because the rendering engine used by Bomi Pictures is developed by their department. Based on the X2 engine, the rendering function is taken out separately, so it is equivalent to Deng Peiqiang for a large part of this film. Team production.

Of course, this time because Bomi has relatively little experience in film and television special effects, and part of it was produced by the special effects company of Xie Tingfeng, but from the final effect, the combination is quite good, and it saves the company. Less money.

  If I look for the Industrial Light & Magic of the United States for special effects production, it is estimated that it will be twice as much as the current budget.

  Xie Tingfeng’s special effects company is called PO Chao Ting, and it is now the best special effects production company in China.

  This company was established very early, in 2003 it began to do digital post-production.

  If the money is spent on special effects production instead of hiring traffic stars, Chinese science fiction movies are really not bad.

  So this time Xie Tingfeng is also one of the people present.

  What's more, this time Xie Tingfeng still plays a very important role in "The Wandering Earth", so it is normal for him to come to Bo Xuetang to watch movies.

Wandering the Earth, Bomi invested 560 million yuan, of which nearly 400 million were spent on special effects production. Xie Tingfeng’s company took half. He himself is very optimistic about the movie, and he also actively asked to join it to play a role without charging. Impersonation costs.

  If it’s not for the company’s employees who need a meal, Xie Tingfeng really wants to directly [technically buy shares] and distribute the box office by making special effects for the wandering earth without receiving any money.

  However, Xie Tingfeng finally gave up this idea after considering the company's development.

  Zou Jielun’s new album is now over. It’s just a gap period. You can take a break. Hearing Yang Junrong said that the boss invited them to the Imperial Capital to watch the internal demonstration of "Wandering Earth", Zou Jielun rushed over.

  In fact, Bomi Films still has a relationship with Zou Jielun——

  Zou Jielun is not only an artist of Bomi Music, but also a director of Bomi Pictures. The "Secrets That Cannot Be Said" has been filmed now and is expected to be released next year.

  Before the release of "Secrets That Cannot Be Said", maybe there will be such an opportunity to demonstrate inside Bomi.

  In fact, it can’t be said to be a demonstration. It’s just to let the senior executives take a look at the final effect of this gadget. Everyone has a good idea.

  In fact, "The Wandering Earth" was completed at the beginning of this year, but it took a lot of time to pass the review. After getting the dragon chapter, it will be scheduled to February 2007.

  The treatment of Bomi by Broadcasting and Television is really good, mainly because Bomi is already quite influential now, and its relationship with Broadcasting and Television is quite good. From 5 years ago, Bomi is a company that broadcast and television likes very much.

  There are not many things, and I will check it off first, saving a lot of trouble for the staff and the staff.

And this time the shooting of the wandering earth is still very important at the national level. After all, it is the work of Liu, and it can be regarded as the main theme of the work. At the same time, this work shows the common destiny of mankind in the future and the spiritual connotation of man's victory over the sky, plus it is the first in China. A real 3D sci-fi blockbuster on such a large scale, so it's basically a green light all the way.

  Other movies are released, and if you want to take the dragon chapter, it is estimated that every one or two years will not be available.

  Wandering the Earth has been released for a few months, and it was also directly archived during the Spring Festival, which is considering that the number of movie viewers was the largest at that time.

  ……

  Cao Yang, Ai Xiaomi, Xie Tingfeng and Zou Jielun, several of them are also familiar in private.

  After all, everyone is a member of the Star Fate Guild. Whenever there is time, everyone will gather together to play World of Warcraft. Since all the copies in the current version have been reclaimed, everyone’s online time has not been as frequent as before.

  But it is still guaranteed to start a group once a week.

  Before the movie was shown, several people sat together talking and laughing, discussing the topic of World of Warcraft.

  Except for Cao Yang, several other people are very curious when the next major version of World of Warcraft will be released.

Cao Yang's answer was, "At least one year is left. Many people have not graduated from the equipment. The existing content bonus has not been eaten up yet, but the content of the next version is ready and can be released at any time. "

   "Mr. Cao, you are too bad, can we not experience such a good thing internally?" Xie Tingfeng said with a smile.

   "No, there are too few of us. Let's wait to be with the world. Only when there are more people can we have fun." Cao Yang said.

   "By the way, do you have time on Sunday?" Xie Tingfeng said, "We are going to find some guilds to slaughter Stormwind City."

   "Yes, yes." Zou Jielun nodded excitedly.

  Before, the Star League guild was revealed to be a star guild, which led to many World of Warcraft players joining this server, forming a powerful alliance guild group, and coming to the tribe to slaughter the city from time to time.

  Last week, Xie Tingfeng was beaten up in Orgrimmar for a while, and now he was squeezed with anger, thinking about when to call for a round of action back.

  Cao Yang smiled, it seems that these people are really on the top.

   "I will see if there are any arrangements when I have time. If I have time, I will be with you. If not, you don't have to wait for me."

  In fact, they weren’t going to wait for Boss Cao, because there was no more than one more, and a lot less than him. The garbage paladin like Cao Yang basically rushed in and it was over.

  ……

  Everyone was talking and laughing. About 5 minutes later, the movie screening started.

  This time playing "Wandering Earth" in Bo Xuetang, Ai Xiaomi also specially used 3D projection equipment.

  3D projection is actually quite simple. You only need to configure two projectors and play synchronously. Because the polarization angles of the two machines are different, there will be a slight deviation.

  If you don’t wear glasses, it looks like there will be ghosting.

  After putting on 3D glasses, you will feel that the whole picture becomes three-dimensional.

  Polarized 3D technology is now commonly used in commercial cinemas and other high-end applications.

  Because it is passive receiving, it is also called passive 3D technology. The cost of auxiliary equipment is low, but the requirements for output equipment are high, so it is very suitable for commercial theaters and other places that require many audiences.

  The main reason for the stereoscopic effect is that the left and right eyes see different pictures, and the positions of the left and right eyes are different, so there will be some differences in the pictures.

  When shooting stereo images, two lenses are used, one on the left and the other on the right. Then the image of the left lens is filtered by a horizontal polarizer to obtain horizontally polarized light, and the image of the right lens is filtered by a vertical polarizer to obtain longitudinally polarized light.

  The left eye and right eye of the stereo glasses are equipped with a horizontal polarizer and a vertical polarizer respectively. The horizontally polarized light can only pass through the horizontal polarizer, and the longitudinally polarized light can only pass through the vertical polarizer.

  This ensures that things taken by the camera on the left can only enter the left eye, and things taken by the camera on the right can only enter the right eye, so it's almost stereoscopic.

  ……

  The show begins.

  The first thing that appeared on the big screen was a few familiar dragon chapters.

   is the public screening license.

  Because of the image of a Chinese dragon, people also affectionately call the supply license a dragon badge.

  【Dragon Chapter

  Public Screening License

  Electrical Examination [2007] No. 001

  National Film Bureau

  CHINAFILMADMINISTRATICON】

  Behind the Dragon Chapter, the logo of Bomi Pictures appeared

   Then Xie Tingfeng’s PO Chaoting.

  Producer: Ai Xiaomi

  Director System/Chief Director: Ai Xiaomi

  Leading and starring: Wu Jing, Xie Tingfeng...

  ……

  In the picture, a picture of China on Earth appeared from space.

   "Hurry up, hurry up, look, Jupiter." Seaside. A man's voice asked.

   "What is Jupiter?"

   "Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system."

   "Dad, there is an eye on Jupiter."

   "That is a big storm on Jupiter."

   "What is the storm?"

  "Jupiter is like a big balloon with 90% hydrogen gas..."

  ……

   Immediately afterwards, the screen turned and turned into a huge sun.

  The narrator said: "The sun is rapidly aging and continues to expand. One hundred years later, the sun will expand to engulf the entire earth. Three hundred years later, the solar system will cease to exist."

   "In the face of this catastrophe, mankind has shown unprecedented unity."

   "In order to allow more people to survive, the coalition government decided to push the entire planet out of the solar system and fly to a new home 4.2 light-years away. It will take 1,500 years before and after."

  "This magnificent and long human migration plan...is named the'Wandering Earth' plan."

  ……

   More than 20,000 advanced engines have been built on the earth to provide power for the earth to go to its new home.

  The engine was facing the sky, its mouth flared and ejected a huge blue flame.

   Immediately after the camera turned, zoomed out quickly, all the way to the distant dark space.

  The whole face of the earth appeared in the picture.

  There are dense blue dots above, and each dot is an engine.

  Half of it is pushed by the pusher, like a little worm with blue flame, wandering lonely in space.

   Liu Guangran's low call came from the scene.

   "Fuck, this effect is too powerful, right?"

  ……

  The total length of the movie is 2 hours and 5 minutes.

  There are still many differences in the details between the script of Wandering Earth this time and the previous life. The differences are mainly reflected in the main characters of the narrative.

  Although this time is still the process of the space station, the ground and all mankind facing a huge Jupiter gravitational crisis.

  However, Ai Xiaomi made this movie very popular and professional, and there are many [heroes of the masses] in the movie, instead of focusing on a few characters.

  Under the empathy of the great catastrophe, the power of the people is the most reliable.

  In the face of crisis, human scientists, leaders, soldiers, police, and the public are united in one mind. In order to let the earth tide over the difficulties and go hand in hand, this film will show more ambitious content.

  So, although the film has several main perspectives, such as Wu Jing and Xie Tingfeng, they only play a series role in the film.

  When the catastrophe comes, the behaviors of different people of different classes and ages are displayed, and finally the collective work of teamwork is used to reflect the greatness of mankind.

  At this point, it is relatively detached, and it is also very different from the personal heroism embodied in the US blockbusters on the market.

  Cao Yang himself is not sure whether it is good or not, whether he can achieve the box office performance of the wandering earth in the previous life, but from his personal emotional point of view, this shooting may be more in line with the original work and more in line with national conditions.

No one can become the savior in this situation. Only all mankind can overcome the difficulties together, especially the plan of the wandering earth itself is the embodiment of collective will and wisdom, so the rescue in this film should also be such a manifestation, and it can be carried out. Echoing from end to end.

  ……

  After reading it, everyone’s eyes were full of tears, and their hearts could not be calm for a long time.

  Ai Xiaomi’s self-made film, I watched it countless times, but every time I watch it, I cry.

  I don’t know how long it took, Cao Yang stood up and applauded Ai Xiaomi.

   Several other people also sighed.

   "My God...this movie...what to do, I am a big man who can't be moved." Liu Guangran raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corner of his eye, trying to calm his mood.

   "Awesome, Ai Xiaomi." Cao Yang happily held her shoulder with his hand, "I can't believe this is actually our company's work, Ai Xiaomi, are you too ridiculous?"

"No, no," Ai Xiaomi said with a smile while wiping her tears. "It was the boss who directed me well. Without you, let me make this movie and gave most of the design drafts inside. I really did. Not sure about this thing.

Liu’s idea is very powerful. Our company’s technical team is very strong. By the way, Xie Tingfeng’s acting skills are very good, and PO Chaoting has given us a lot of technical support. Without them, this movie would not be so good. Effect. "

   "No no, you are too humble." Xie Tingfeng, who was sitting behind, said with a smile.

  Everyone started to talk about each other's business. After about 10 minutes, they could finally sit down and discuss it calmly.

  ……

   "Seriously, in terms of my personal viewing experience, the production of this movie is really amazing. The special effects are already more critical than the current Hollywood productions, right?" Yang Junrong said.

"Well, after all, we spent a lot of money on special effects production," Cao Yang smiled. "In order to make the Wandering Earth, we transferred the most elite troops in the entire engine department to help. For this we also developed related 3D rendering engine."

The 3D rendering engine developed by Deng Peiqiang's team is more than twice as fast as rendering directly with 3Dmax plug-ins in terms of rendering efficiency.

  The effect of rendering at the same time is very good, and it should be even better than Pixar in the United States.

  This is also due to the games that Deng Peiqiang and the others have produced for so many years. They have been very mature in engine research. Now Bomi’s engine department should be ranked in the top three in the world in terms of technology.

  The game engine is already the number one in the world, and there are no major problems with the rendering engine.

  In addition to the extensive production experience brought by Xie Tingfeng’s special effects company, this time, if the special effects of Wandering Earth are not well produced, Ai Xiaomi will not have to do it in Bomi.

  Furthermore, after Bomi has this production experience, it will be much easier to make 3D special effects movies in the future.

  Follow-up development of 3D movies such as "White Snake: Origin" and "Nezha: The Devil Child" has a solid foundation.

  As for the big 2D animation movies like "Big Fish and Begonia", in addition to the rendering technology, the more important thing is to look at the design level of the main beauty.

  ……

   "Movie special effects are definitely not something to say," Cao Yang said, "Do you think there is any problem with the plot of the story or the polishing of the details?"

   "Hmm..." Liu Guangran shook his head, "I think it's already pretty good. This is already the pinnacle of domestic 3D science fiction movies, right?"

   "I am mainly afraid that the narrative structure is a bit messy," Ai Xiaomi said. "After all, it is a filming method portrayed by group portraits. The protagonist's role in the film is not very prominent, so I am worried that the narrative structure is not good and there are problems with the rhythm."

   "Well, it looks okay now." Xie Tingfeng gave his own evaluation.

Next to   , Zou Jielun nodded, "Very good. Very good, really. Before I came, I was still thinking about how to learn from it. Now it seems that I can't reach this level at all."

  Zou Jielun shook her head more rattle.

  His "Secrets That Cannot Be Said" is completely another thing, and the reference value given to him by the wandering earth is indeed too little.

   "But..." Yang Junrong raised his head next to him, looked at Zou Jielun, and said with some doubts, "I can't tell the film part, but the soundtrack part, I heard the feeling of a masterpiece.

  I really want to know who made the soundtrack in this movie.

   is really amazing, every little detail of the soundtrack is in place, and the timing of appearance is also very suitable. The last moment when all mankind shares the fate, the soundtrack is magnificent, and I really moved and cried.

  The picture is one thing, the plot is great, but I think the soundtrack is really indispensable. "

Next to    Ai Xiaomi pursed her lips and smiled, smiling very happily and proudly.

  I was boasted, as if it had succeeded now.

  Cao Yang laughed, "Awesome, you musicians really have very bright ears."

   "Don't you see who made the song? Of course it's amazing."

   "Who is it?" Zou Jielun and Yang Junrong asked in unison.

   "Hans Zimmer."

   "Huh?!" Zou Jielun and Yang Junrong widened their eyes.

   "My mom... is Hans Zimmer?" Yang Junrong looked back at Ai Xiaomi, "How much did we spend? Are you too willing to pay for it?"

  ……

  Hans Zimmer is a music composer that Zou Jielun likes very much, and he is also Omi’s music production god.

  He is particularly good at making magnificent and large-scale film soundtracks, as well as digging the depths of the human soul.

  Representative works include:

  The best original soundtrack of "RainMan".

  "The Lion King", "Prince of Egypt", "Gladiator", "Pearl Harbor", "The Last Samurai"...

  The soundtracks of the two masterpieces just released this year are all written by Hans Zimmer.

  One is a classic suspense solving puzzle of "The Da Vinci Code".

  The other one is "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin"

  This time the Bomi company made the Wandering Earth and found Hans Zimmer, which really cost it.

  But this person also has one thing, that is, if he wants to make bad money, you may not know that this music is made by him.

  Like in his previous life, Hans Zimmer made the soundtrack for the mobile game "Glory of Kings". It is estimated that many people did not know that he did it.

  Because of the level and performance, it really doesn’t sound like the same grade as his previous works.

  Fortunately, this time Hans Zimmer also agrees with the movie "The Wandering Earth" very much, so he wrote the song carefully, and the soundtrack of the entire "Wandering Earth" has been sublimated.

  The music production of "The Wandering Earth" in the previous life was looking for A Kun, a domestic music producer. Cao Yang had also sought him first, but he is indeed relatively young now and is still in the process of music learning.

  A Kun likes and is very good at imitating Hollywood music, especially Hans Zimmer’s music. He personally likes it very much.

  So in the soundtrack of the wandering earth in the previous life, there will be some Hans Zimmer's shadow in it.

  It is really difficult to find a film musician who is good at composing for science fiction movies, especially the great destiny of mankind.

  Instead of this, it is better to spend some money directly and ask Hans Zimmer to make it.

  Compared with the cost of special effects, Hans Zimmer’s cost has been quite small, and it cost about 7 million, which is 2 million higher than Zhao Zhao before.

  ……

  The final result is really good, at least it can be affirmed by Zou Jielun, Yang Junrong and Xie Tingfeng.

   "No wonder, it turned out to be Hans Zimmer." Zou Jielun said, "I like him so much, President Cao, if you invite him again next time, can you bring me along?"

   "Yes." Cao Yang said with a smile, "Otherwise, you can help dubbing for future movies?"

  Zou Jielun chuckled, “It’s okay, I also have to see if the subject matter is suitable for me.”

  Since this person became popular, it is now valuable for Zou Jielun to make music.

  Probably if you ask him to score, there is no one or two million that can’t be paid. Zou Jielun gave Bomi’s own endorsement of "Fantasy Westward Journey" and directly spent 30 million.

  Although it said that the left hand turns to the right hand, Zou Jielun actually divided 15 million away.

  The cost is not low at all.

  In fact, Cao Yang is more willing to let Yang Junrong organize some more talented and dreamy young people to start a game soundtrack company.

  Think about the future development prospects of the domestic game industry, it is really not a loss to open a soundtrack company alone.

  People like to work hard, both in game production and soundtrack.

  Otherwise, I always feel that the shortcomings of the link are particularly short.

  ……

  After the screening, Cao Yang took this opportunity to talk to Yang Junrong about it.

"Huh?" Yang Junrong was taken aback for a moment, and then agreed, "It's pretty good, in fact, the income of the recording industry is also declining, and there are only a few artists who can make money. It's okay to be a professional game soundtrack company. "

   "It can also promote the development of domestic game soundtracks," Cao Yang said with a smile, "You don't know, when we play foreign music, we often talk about it:

  Shimomura Yoko, Mitsuta Yasunori, Tianmen..."

   Hisaishi Joe, Kanno Yoko, Tanaka Fairy these are not professional game composers who have written many works for game music.

  The reason why there are no masters in domestic game music is mainly because the domestic game production environment and production companies do not pay much attention to soundtracks.

  Obviously, the soundtrack is such an important thing. For movies, the soundtrack is equivalent to 50% of the soul, and the same is true for games.

  What is the result?

  In the past life until 2021, who is the master of game soundtrack in China that can be counted?

  Cao Yang himself can only count one who specializes in game music, that is, Luo Xiaoyin of Xishanju, and Lin Kunxin, the music producer of Legend of Sword and Fairy... I don’t know much about other feelings.

  The soundtrack of "Black Myth: Wukong" is good, but also because the music producer Li Jiaqi has accumulated a lot of experience in the production of "Gun Shen Ji" and "War God"... these games.

  So for Cao Yang, music is similar to engine and painting. You can only pay attention to it and stop supplying the corresponding production chain. After years of accumulation and experience, it is possible to get out of one or two masters.

  Otherwise, our country is really too shabby in this regard.

When Cao Yang was a game producer in his previous life, he wanted to find one or two decent soundtrack masters and couldn’t find it. In many cases, he chose to outsource to some game music companies. The outsourced music sounds very familiar, or he is Omi. , Or it is an island country for reference.

  Either it is to learn from the existing game music in China, and there are really few game music producers who can independently create and maintain a high standard.

  So this time, if you know that the future of the game industry is difficult to produce a soundtrack master, it is better to start now.

   "Good boss." Yang Junrong nodded, "I will start doing this after I return to Treasure Island."

Cao Yang smiled and said, "After the establishment of the game music studio, you shouldn’t stick to only making soundtracks for Bomi’s own games. We have to put out the advertisements and let other game companies come to us to make music. It will take a long time. It’s natural to be good, and many domestic game music gods will be born in the future."

"Uh-huh."

  ……

  At the same time that Zou Jielun’s new album was released, several other songs under the Bomi brand also became popular.

  The reason for the fire is also very simple-

sounds amazing.

  The soundtrack of "The Wandering Earth" can be said to be first hit before it is broadcast.

  Movies have not yet started to be released, and the music of Wandering Earth has been put on the Internet.

This is also a decision made by Bomi Pictures after a lot of weighing, because Wandering Earth will be online in February, and now it reaches the end of November, and it can be warmed up in advance. After that, in addition to music, there will be related Trailers have been released one after another, continue to build momentum, to increase the popularity of "Wandering Earth".

  So this time, after Zou Jielun’s album has achieved popular results, Bomi has released several soundtracks from "Wandering Earth".

  ……

   "Ma Ye~ Is Bomi's "The Wandering Earth" soundtrack so powerful? When I heard that section of Wandering Earth, the whole person was really emotional."

   "The music of "The Wandering Earth" has been added to my daily playlist. The pure music is really good."

  "These few songs are absolutely amazing. What kind of fairy composition? "Homeland" is touching, "Wandering Earth" is unforgettable, and the "Human Resonance" in it really shocked my whole soul."

   "That is, you guys don't look at who made the music."

   "Who is it?"

   "Hans Zimmer."

   "Fuck! No wonder I said that it sounds so ridiculous. It turned out to be Hans Zimmer."

   "I don't know who Hans Zimmer is."

  "Hans Zimmer don’t even know you? Have you never heard of the Prince of Egypt? The Lion King? Rainman, Pearl Harbor, and Pirates of the Caribbean 2, which was released some time ago, were all scored by Hans Zimmer."

   "What?! Pearl Harbor and Pirates of the Caribbean 2? Fuck! You said that, I suddenly looked forward to "Wandering Earth."

   "Boss Cao was premeditated, right?"

   "November, I feel like Bomi Music Festival."

  "Bomi Music Festival in November?"

   "The soundtrack of The Wandering Earth is so powerful, I don’t know what the result will be when it will be released. Maybe it’s a huge volume, and the actual movie is particularly rubbish?"

   "This is also possible, after all, domestic science fiction movies are really too difficult, and until now, there is no sci-fi masterpiece.

  In this regard, our country lags behind others in terms of directors, actors and technical special effects. Anyway, I am not optimistic about "Wandering Earth".

  It’s okay to listen to music. If you go to the cinema to watch a bad movie, I don’t think it is necessary, right? "

  The worries of the Chinese people are also normal. After all, before Bomi made "The Wandering Earth", there was no sci-fi movie in China that could catch up with the international level, and this was also the case in the previous life.

  Once Guo Xiaosi reportedly spent huge sums of money to shoot the grand trail, and wanted to make it the first 3D magical masterpiece in China, all of which were produced with special effects, just like the U.S. Avatar.

The results of it?

The effect of    is indeed very hip, and at the same time it has lost a lot of confidence in the people of the country.

  The story is bad, the special effects are exaggerated, and the actors are awkward.

  Until "Wandering Earth" came out, the Chinese people knew that, oh, it turns out that we can also make such a movie.

  Cao Yang has high hopes for the "Wandering Earth" produced by Bomi. After the film is launched, he hopes that it can successfully open the door to domestic 3D science fiction movies.

  ……
