Entertainment: I have a cultural star from the future

Chapter 18 Questions about Special Effects on the Internet

After the two-minute video ended, Chen Jie stood there in a daze, and he slowly put down the hand holding the mouse.

Click replay silently.

The live broadcast room was very quiet, and the only sound that could be heard from the video was the ethereal, slow, depressing and tragic music from beginning to end.

After watching it several times, Chen Jie turned to the live broadcast room, only to find that the number of people in his live broadcast room was over 10!

He was startled, and after thinking for a moment, he said to the audience: "To be honest, I'm really a little shocked."

He thought for a moment, then organized his words. "I'm willing to pay for just these two PVs from 'The First Family.' And did you notice it's available in both Chinese and European languages? That alone shows their sincerity, not to mention the high quality of these two clips. Seriously, I can assure you right now: no, no movie, remember, no movie, can compare to the special effects of 'The First Family!'"

He took a deep breath and continued, "I'm shocked. Just these three minutes of special effects are unmatched. Give me an example of a movie that can compare to this.

Also, I can confirm that the protagonist Luo Xi alone, the protagonist is Luo Xi, I am sure, he alone can win fans all over the world, I declare that I am now his number one fan. "

[Brother Chen, you're overthinking it. There's even a fan club for Luo Xi on Langbo now!]

Chen Jie saw the message and was surprised: "Is it true? So soon?"

He logged onto Langbo and searched, and found that there was already a "Luo Xi Super Topic!" which was full of Luo Xi's photos. Because there were not many spoilers in the PV, there were not many photos of Luo Xi, but in the latest video, all the places where Luo Xi appeared could be found here.

It was so fast, he quickly saved the photos and videos. He also followed Su Jin and Hello Film and Television Production.

[Everyone must support us on June 6st! Remember, watch and watch more videos when you have time.]

Chen Jie didn't feel like continuing the live broadcast, so he just ended it. It was only the 27th, and he had never felt that time passed so slowly.

After thinking about it, he decided to make a video, focusing on the special effects in "The First Family".

Two PVs totaling three minutes are enough for him to make several videos.

Chen Jie's unreserved praise for the special effects of "The First Family" attracted a lot of attention on DY Video.

However, where there are people who praise, there are bound to be people who belittle.

Li Xiaoming is a film and television commentary blogger on C Station Video with more than 300 million fans. In recent days, he often saw a CG promotional video called "The First Family" when watching the news. Many media outlets praised this PV, which only lasted three minutes, to the sky.

Li Xiaoming frowned and made a video and posted it on Station C and Langbo.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Ming talking about film and television. Today we're going to talk about how much it costs to produce special effects in a film or television work.

Do you remember the special effects masterpiece "Blue Man from Pandora" from two years ago? Back then, it grossed over 80 billion Star Coins across the Blue Planet, making it the highest-grossing film in Blue Planet history.

According to Mellon, the director at the time, the special effects of the movie "Blue Man" cost nearly 2 billion star coins, making it the film and television work with the highest special effects costs on the entire Blue Star so far.

At that time, their special effects team had reached a scale of 13 people, and the film took nearly years from project initiation to completion. Therefore, the labor and time costs of a top-notch special effects film are unimaginable.

For general film and television works, it takes 2 to 3 years to produce special effects. This time is shortened by special effects companies purchasing a large number of servers. However, the largest cost of special effects is still labor cost. A special effects company with a team of 1000 people needs more than 7000 million star coins in annual wages alone.

This is why there are very few movies with top-notch special effects. The time cost and labor cost are the biggest obstacles to the emergence of a top-notch special effects film or television.

But special effects movies still exist, and there are even quite a few of them. However, to save on special effects costs, many films and TV shows resort to deceptive methods to create special effects, such as highlighting a specific object while blurring the background, or reducing the number of scenes that require heavy use of special effects. Last year, a film, in order to save on special effects costs, replaced the protagonist's name with a mythical beast that should always be with him.

In order to attract audiences, some film and television dramas use the exquisite special effects as promotional points, and make other places look like crap. Therefore, when the audience watches the actual works, they will have a very strong sense of disconnection, which is not desirable.

Our country's film and television special effects have always relied on foreign special effects teams to produce them. Although many special effects companies have been established, there is still a long way to go to reach the level of foreign countries. It is not something that can be easily defined as top-notch special effects in just a few words."

As soon as Li Xiaoming's content was posted on Langbo, it instantly received over one million reposts and over five million likes.

[I clicked on a very popular PV recently!]

[It's undeniable that a certain PV was well done, but as an online movie, isn't it a bit arrogant to call it top-notch special effects?]

[Finally, someone said something. A certain movie is being promoted this way without worrying about getting tongue-tied.]

The directors of some film and television works even appeared in person to speak.

Lang Bo, v Sun Wei: I have been a director for more than 20 years, and I can’t understand the craziness of young people nowadays.

Sun Wei is a film director under the film and television department of Linsen Entertainment. He likes to make art films, has won numerous awards at home and abroad, and has been awarded the title of National Treasure Director.

Sun Wei's words still carry a lot of weight. As soon as he said this, countless directors echoed him.

Their remarks were also echoed by many netizens.

[I checked, and the registered capital of Hello Film and Television Production Company is only 100 million. That's not enough to pay for this one-minute special effect.]

[The person above, can you count? They already have three minutes of special effects.]

[You don't have to be so disparaging. The music in both PVs is great. Why can't I find the music for the second one?]

[Even though I only have 15 Star Coins, wouldn't it be nice to buy a pound of meat with it?]

In short, most people are not too credible about the CG special effects of "The First Family".

And the latest people to become Luo Xi's fans have begun to fight back.

[Can't people in our country be more confident? Take a look at the data.]

This fan released a set of booking data for TT Video's "The First Family".

Number of reservations for "The First Family": 1685 million.

For a moment, many people who refuted the criticism were silent because they were shocked by the appointment data!

Because so far, I have never seen any movie entering the theater have more than this number of people making advance reservations.
