The special effects of holographic movies require three-dimensional virtual images.
The increased workload alone is not something that can be easily solved, as images from all viewing angles now need to be processed.
If the workload of doing special effects was one before, then the workload of special effects for holographic movies now is ten.
With such an increased workload, even a top special effects company cannot complete the production quickly.
Jiang Cheng himself did not have such a problem. Although Jiang Cheng knew very little about filmmaking, special effects technology was within his realm of expertise.
To put it bluntly, movie special effects are the use of computers to perform related processing on the original images.
Jiang Cheng is an expert in computer processing, and Jiang Cheng doesn't even need to do special effects processing himself.
Don’t forget the existence of Lucy, an artificial intelligence. Although Lucy is not as beautiful as a real human being, she is not as beautiful as a real human being in some aspects of emotion and creativity.
But Lucy is very good at this kind of thing. Special effects production is not a problem for Lucy at all.
This kind of work does not require creativity. You only need to tell Lucy the desired picture effect, and Lucy can complete all the work well.
Just one issue of work efficiency can completely overwhelm all special effects. Lucy can produce computer special effects much faster than all the special effects companies combined.
After all, it is difficult for those in the special effects company to compare with Lucy's computing power in this regard.
Lucy's current computing speed is many, many times faster than the fastest supercomputer in the world.
Even the computer special effects produced by Lucy are far more realistic than other companies.
Artificial intelligence is also very good at simulating real images to deceive the human eye.
Lucy's computer-generated special effects can even fool professional photographers.
As long as Jiang Cheng leaves all the unfinished movie scenes to Lucy, he won't have to worry about special effects.
Lucy will definitely do the special effects quickly and well, and finish it before other film companies.
Movie special effects are a killer in Jiang Cheng's hands. This factor alone can save him a lot of time.
You must know that the production of special effects takes a lot of time. For ordinary special effects blockbusters, the shooting time may not be as long as the special effects production.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng can rest assured that his movie will be accurately pitched, and he will not be afraid of others taking the first place.
Although Jiang Cheng is not worried about time issues, there are still many problems that are bothering him.
That is what kind of movie should be made to be the world's first holographic movie.
Also, Jiang Cheng needs to find someone to be the director so that he can make this movie exciting.
The subject matter and the director are both very important. Jiang Cheng can leave all other matters such as actors and actresses to the director.
These tasks are all the responsibility of the director, and Jiang Cheng does not need to worry about them at all.
As for the subject matter, Jiang Cheng quickly came up with an idea. Since he was shooting China's own holographic film, he must choose something with Chinese characteristics.
The fairy tale theme with Chinese characteristics is Jiang Cheng's best choice.
The ethereal artistic conception of Xianxia is very suitable for showing the characteristics of China, and there are many special effects in Xianxia movies, which is very suitable for Lucy to use.
After deciding on the theme of Xianxia, the first thing Jiang Cheng thought of was the first Xianxia novel he had read.
The novel "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" can be said to be the earliest fairy tale novel, and it is also the first fairy novel that Jiang Cheng has read.
Jiang Cheng has been yearning for the fantasy scenes described in this book for a long time.
Now Jiang Cheng has an opportunity to realize the scenes in the novel, and of course he will not let it go easily.
So Jiang Cheng decided what he was going to shoot this time, which was to put "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" on the stage of a holographic movie and shoot a holographic version of "The Legend of Shushan Chuangxia".
After making the decision, Jiang Cheng began to look forward to the release of the movie.
He felt extremely excited at the thought of being able to watch such a wonderful movie in a holographic projection environment.
There are fantastic magic weapons in Shushan Swordsman, as well as various exquisite sword skills and incomparably magnificent scenery.
When Jiang Cheng read this novel, he could imagine that beautiful picture in his mind and entered that wonderful world in his dreams countless times.
Now Jiang Cheng had the opportunity to realize his fantasy back then. This kind of thing made him full of motivation, and he couldn't wait to find someone to start filming right away.
Now that the subject matter of the holographic movie is ready, the next step is to choose the director.
In the process of filming a movie, the director plays a very important role. It is not too much to say that he is the creator of the movie.
The choice of director made Jiang Cheng quite embarrassed, because the director was so important.
This makes him dare not make a decision easily. If the director cannot control the entire movie, it will be a disaster for the entire movie.
For a movie, the director can determine the final success or failure. Whether it is a classic or a bad movie depends largely on the director's level.
Jiang Cheng still attaches great importance to the holographic movie this time, so he doesn't want to make a choice easily.
If he chooses the wrong director, no matter how good Lucy's special effects are, he can't save the film's failure.
Jiang Cheng rushed to shoot the first holographic film because he wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to vigorously promote the development of Chinese films.
By the way, we also promote the unique charm of Chinese culture to people all over the world.
If the movie is not good at that time, there will be no talk about developing Chinese movies and promoting Chinese culture.
If the first holographic movie fails, it might develop into a complete farce.
It is precisely because of different concerns from various aspects that Jiang Cheng does not dare to make a decision easily.
After all, he didn't know the directors of China very well, so it was not a simple question who should be chosen.
This made Jiang Cheng fall into a tangle all of a sudden. He suddenly lost interest in doing other things. It took several days for him to make a final decision.
The choice of director here is still embarrassing Jiang Cheng, but on the other side, the Hollywood film companies are very busy.
The giants in the film industry have announced the start of filming holographic movies one by one.
Well-known masterpieces have begun to enter the promotion stage, and many well-known sequels have also adopted holographic shooting technology.
These movies are all large-scale productions with high investment, and the casts are very luxurious.
Just by hearing the names of those famous actors, you can tell how much investment the film company has made.
