Chapter 333 Peak Finishing
The large fan was imitated by a domestic manufacturer, but it is good except for the noise control.
This shows the huge improvement of the domestic industrial level.
When Lu Pingan was working on Source Code, it took him a long time to make a simple door lock control panel prop.
The industrial level was poor at that time.
Now, even for new things like large fans, more than ten manufacturers can be found in China to bid.
Then one month after the bidding was completed, a prototype was obtained, and then it was improved. At present, it is almost done.
Cheng Long was very interested after hearing it: "Really? I am familiar with this. Let's go and play."
Then, instead of death, today became the most interesting day since the filming of Peak 3.
The large fan simulating skydiving was completed, and almost everyone in the crew experienced it. The whole studio was buzzing with the sound of machines all day long, and everyone had a lot of fun.
Even Gao Yuanyuan, who came with us today, was very happy.
She was timid and did not dare to do exciting sports. Today, she finally fulfilled her wish a little.
Han Sanpin also came today and had a great time.
After the filming, he praised Lu Ping'an's "new invention".
"You really can save up new things in every movie!"
Han Sanpin said with a smile.
This is a sincere compliment.
Because Lu Ping'an can really come up with new things in almost every movie.
From his perspective, Lu Ping'an introduced Hollywood special effects and overall technology in the earliest "The Tuner".
He was not optimistic at the time.
This thing is so expensive, there is no market and no talent in China, and introducing it is almost like burning money and playing by yourself.
However, it has been proved that this kind of advanced investment is indeed quite necessary, which played a huge role in "Source Code" and "Wonderful Night 1".
In addition to special effects, there is also animation technology. "Kung Fu Panda" has not been completed yet, but he already knows how the effect is.
Also, Lu Ping'an introduced 3D technology in "Wonderful Night 1".
Later, 3D became a small trend, and now the international 3D is also dominated by China.
Later, when he made Batman 1, Lu Pingan truly introduced Hollywood's industrialized production process and IMAX-related technologies.
With Batman 1, China Film, Beijing Film Academy, and Star all benefited.
As a result, special effects-level movies like Pacific Rim can be truly domestically produced.
Now, the large wind turbines introduced in Peak 3 seem to be just average.
However, Han Sanpin knows that Peak 3 is not Lu Pingan's own project after all.
And his own projects are still "fruitful".
For example, the virtual camera of Pacific Rim.
There are also small cameras that will be used in 1937, as well as the stabilizers and zipline systems that match it.
The most important thing is that these are all developed by the Star team themselves.
It can also be seen from this that the Star team is indeed the top team in China and even in the world.
In this regard, Lu Pingan modestly said: "Because there is nothing, so I can only find a way myself."
"That's the truth. In the past, not to mention the past, but even now, our country still has many things that we can only rely on ourselves to make. You, Xingchen, have found your own way!"
Han Sanpin smiled and praised, and then asked, "Is there anything you need now? I will also help."
"I haven't thought of it yet, but I will definitely trouble you when I think of it."
"Hey, what trouble? Just let me know if you have any problems."
Han Sanpin waved his hand. Someone on the wind turbine in front had experienced "parachuting". Han Sanpin turned to greet several leaders of China Film who came with him, "You should also experience it. This thing is rare in China."
Then, it was still busy.
In the following ten days, Lu Pingan worked eight hours a day on "Peak 3", and the outside world also thought that he was just filming "Peak 3".
The heat about the ghost worship incident gradually subsided as time entered September.
Only Xingchen knew that the progress of "1937" was getting faster and faster, and they were ready to shout loudly internationally.
At night, Lu Pingan stayed in the company to coordinate the project, and his concentration was the highest so far.
Because this mission was not ordinary.
All of Lu Pingan's previous works were copied, from the plot to the shots.
It's different now. "1937" and "1917" are almost similar only in the shooting form and narrative structure.
The rest had to be pushed back and rebuilt by myself, which was almost equivalent to the original.
And the most difficult part was not here. The most difficult part was the scheduling and arrangement, because it had to be coordinated with one shot to the end.
It can be said that the difficulty was also the only one Lu Pingan had ever seen in his life.
But Lu Pingan was full of confidence.
In the past, I thought it was difficult to copy short films, and then I thought it was difficult to shoot feature films. Later, I thought it was difficult to shoot art films, difficult to adapt, and difficult to make animations and special effects.
Then step by step, I came to the present.
Looking back, those things that I thought were difficult at the beginning have all been overcome one by one.
So this time it's still not a big problem, it's just a little more tiring.
In actual operation, it's not that tiring, mainly because the team has matured.
This time, "1937" adopts a fully industrialized production process.
In the project team, all traditional departments were further subdivided. For example, the costumes and props were first divided into three groups, and then further divided. For example, the plant group was divided into props. They did nothing but take care of everything related to plants in the movie.
Not going wrong is the basic requirement, and then it is required that each plant in the shot presents the posture on the required set, and the finishing of the things they are responsible for after the shooting is completed.
Guo Fan, who completed the comic work of "Pacific Rim", became one of the executive producers, responsible for the subdivision group work of the art group.
In terms of explosion scenes, "1937" found a Hollywood team, and Xingchen also formed a team to assist. The purpose is naturally to learn all the skills that can be learned.
Finding a Hollywood team is actually a helpless move.
There is currently no domestic team that can achieve real effects.
The reason is cruel.
Earlier, the best explosion war scene in China was the August 1st Theater, and they were also the best in the country in making props, costumes and guns. There are many old people in the August 1st Theater who have fought in the civil war and the War of Resistance against Japan, and have touched real guns and cannons.
This is why the war scenes in many old films are very realistic from a grand perspective.
But later, in order to promote Sino-Japanese friendship, many anti-Japanese war themes "retarded" became a trend, resulting in almost no TV dramas in China that require real scenes in recent years.
So much so that Feng Dapao wanted to shoot real effects, but he was out of people or his experience was far inferior to that of foreign teams, so he finally found a South Korean team for "Assembly".
This situation continued for more than ten years, and even later almost all companies that made props, costumes and explosion scenes were affiliated companies, with the same model across the country, and they mainly focused on retardation war dramas, so everyone could eat their fill without lying down.
If you really want to make a real big scene, you have to make a big movie, and big movies didn't start to increase until the "Changjin Lake" period, but the technology still had to be introduced or re-thought.
In other words, there are almost no teams in China that can make real war effects at present, and the relevant experience and technology are almost stagnant, and this will continue for more than ten years.
Now that Lu Ping'an has come, he doesn't care whether this situation can be changed. He only cares that his own explosion team must become a top team to fill the domestic gap.
Be careful during this period.
After all, explosion scenes are extremely dangerous.
If someone dies, things will be quite troublesome.
So Lu Ping made a stable policy.
Rigorous, meticulous, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
You can't be a thief, you can only prevent thieves. It's a bit passive, but there's nothing you can do about it.
The work continues.
The summer season outside is also completely over.
The battle report is up, and all you can see is money.
"Back to 20" finally made 246 million yuan in the mainland, 136 million yuan in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and 18.6 million US dollars in other regions.
Because the 6 places did not release it, but they adapted it themselves, the overseas box office was not high, but it was also an excellent result.
"Initial D" is still in the last half month of the postponement. The current box office in the mainland is 267 million yuan, and the overseas box office is 47 million US dollars.
"Painted Skin" was released in the mainland for one month, with a box office of 220 million yuan and 31 million US dollars overseas.
At the same time, all three movies have locked in the top five of Hong Kong's annual box office list, including "Initial D" with 42 million Hong Kong dollars, "20 Again" with 21.8 million, and "Painted Skin" with 18.6 million.
"Initial D"'s performance is basically unmatched, and the other two, with a little more luck, may be able to lock in the top three.
Including copyright income and advertising income, Xingchen's total revenue in this summer season is close to 500 million yuan.
The box office of the three movies is very impressive, but the media still thinks that this result is not particularly good, because "Baby Project", "War of War", "Night Banquet", "Golden Curse" and other films have not yet come out, so it is still possible that latecomers will surpass them.
In general, the industry is quite optimistic about this year's film market, and is also envious of Xingchen. It doesn't matter whether Lu Ping'an hates him or not, anyway, he can't be killed.
The hot film market seems to have greatly helped the enrollment of film-related colleges and majors.
Principal Zhang called and invited Lu Ping'an to attend the opening ceremony of Beijing Film Academy on September 6.
He said that the new professional staff are full this time, and you, the senior, have to come and see.
Lu Ping'an certainly would not refuse the new profession because he was inspired by himself.
On September 5, all non-special effects parts of "Rush Hour 3" were completed four days ahead of schedule.
With the assistance of his own team in China, the efficiency is high!
Then he looked at the reward.
A series can only receive a reward once, and Lu Ping'an only directed once in the Peak series, so he will still receive it this time.
Soon the system also popped up a message.
[Congratulations on the completion of "Rush Hour 3."]
[Restoration degree 109%, super reward has been issued]
[Super reward: studio casualty insulation buff, which can prevent serious injuries and deaths in the studio where the host belongs]
Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up.
