"Director Wang, is this okay? It took our team a week to make it!" Yan Wei said proudly when he saw their surprised expressions.
"Awesome!" Wang Luyuan gave a thumbs up and said with emotion: "I have seen it. In the past, we shot against a green screen, and it was difficult for actors to be emotionally involved. Now we can actually shoot directly in a virtual world. I think Never thought about it!”
"It's so handsome!" screenwriter Huodong praised loudly, "I've been thinking about how to create the special effects in the novel later, but I didn't expect you guys to do such a great job!"
"I have a question, can these virtual projected scenes interact with the actors? For example, if I kick this tree, will it move?"
"It's not possible yet. The virtual projection scene has been set. If you want to have other actions, you still have to go through post-production." Yan Wei explained.
"That's enough!" Wang Luyuan's eyes flashed and he said to the leading actress: "Little girl, are you not afraid now?"
The female lead is still a college student at a film school. This is her first time acting, and she has been worried that she will not perform well. Now that I saw such a real scene, I immediately nodded and said, "Director, don't be afraid anymore. This scene is so immersive. I read the script yesterday and the scene in my dream was similar to this!"
"Haha, okay, let's start filming!" Wang Luyuan waved his hand and announced that filming had officially started.
…
The filming of the movie progressed very quickly because the entire process was protected by high technology. For science fiction movies, generally shooting shots is very simple, while large scenes are more time-consuming and laborious.
During the filming of some blockbusters, it sometimes takes ten days and a half to make props and scenes.
But for Hongxin Film and Television, no matter what kind of scene or props it is, it can be directly displayed using virtual projection.
Lu Zixin even asked RI-8901 to come over to help. It could make some exquisite props that the crew asked for and they could complete them in minutes.
Wang Luyuan was filled with emotion and said that this was the most satisfying movie he had ever made. He really got what he asked for. Moreover, the scenes in the movie are all on alien planets, so there is no need to leave the studio during the entire filming process.
After two months, the filming of this new virtual projection movie has officially concluded.
There was a small commotion when the samples were taken out for review, because this was the first virtual projection film and no one had seen it.
When it was sent for review, it was said that all the leaders of the review department, large and small, personally used virtual projection to watch the movie, and some of the leaders immediately applauded!
Then the film successfully passed the review and the release date began to be arranged.
"The fastest, the fastest, we can only arrange it until October."
In the office, Wang Luyuan discussed with Xue Yao and Lu Zixin.
"Can you make it in time for the National Day holiday?" Xue Yao asked.
Wang Luyuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's difficult. For a blockbuster like ours, there is every reason to schedule it in the eleventh slot. But suddenly two movies were moved and we couldn't schedule them."
"One is "Tomorrow Earth" produced by Lida Pictures and directed by Jiang Hongru, a 3D masterpiece. The other one is "White Gun 2" produced by Brother Pictures."
""White Gun 2" was originally scheduled for the Spring Festival, but suddenly it was moved to the 11th slot. "Tomorrow Earth" is even scheduled to be broadcast next year. Who knew it would be broadcast this year!"
Xue Yao raised her eyebrows and snorted: "They know that we are competing for the National Day slot. Is that intentional? Use two blockbusters to compete for the position!"
Wang Luyuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say. But they are well-connected in the industry, and we really can't compete with them. If we can't win the National Day slot, we probably won't be able to get the Spring Festival slot either. We'll have to wait until next year to air it!"
"Next year?" Lu Zixin shook his head, "It's too slow. Hongxin Electronics will launch virtual projection shooting equipment next year. If we wait until next year, we will miss the opportunity."
Since someone is already researching their virtual projection equipment, Hongxin might as well take the initiative and directly occupy the blank market before competitors come up with products.
Therefore, in order to cooperate with the head office's plan, Hongxin Pictures must advance the film, which is why the film was shot so quickly.
"If the National Day and Spring Festival schedules are not scheduled, the daily release may not be very good!" Wang Luyuan worried. This movie is his most proud work so far. Of course, he wants to schedule it well and get a good one. box office. It is even possible to win a few awards and become a top director in one fell swoop.
"Put it right after the October slot, in mid-October." Lu Zixin said, "This will also make it easier to arrange for the release of the movie. Now some cinemas in third- and fourth-tier small cities do not have virtual projectors, and the virtual projectors in theaters in big cities There are also very few screening rooms.”
"If we insist on grabbing popular slots, the film schedule will not be able to keep up."
"That's true!" Wang Luyuan nodded. Their movies can't be released, and only some theaters can release them.
"Furthermore, we don't have to worry about piracy of our movies." Lu Zixin said, "No one has virtual projection and recording equipment for virtual projection movies, so they can't be stolen. Even if you have the resources, you can't watch them without printing equipment."
"So, just put it in the normal schedule and let the market witness it."
…
All preparations are in place, and Hongxin's first virtual projection movie will be premiered on October 9th in cinemas with "virtual projection" theaters across the country.
Those film and television companies originally wanted to suppress Hongxin Pictures in terms of schedule and film volume, but they found that Hongxin actually did not compete for popular slots, and there were not many cinemas with virtual projection and printing rooms. There was no need to suppress them. They were inherently inadequate.
Hongxin Pictures also started advertising. The first is publicity through ordinary media channels, which has average effects. Because the promotional video only has an ordinary 3D effect when viewed on a flat device.
However, on virtual projection equipment, the publicity effect is completely different.
In an Internet cafe, there is a virtual projection game area. Now the virtual projection game console can not only play the large-scale online game "Return of the Three Kingdoms", but also play some small games. These mini-games were developed by cooperative game operators after Hongxin opened its virtual projection special effects production software.
This also greatly enriches the content of the virtual projection game, making it more attractive to players.
"Network administrator, get on the computer!" A player came to the Internet cafe with great interest, preparing to play "Return of the Three Kingdoms".
He started the virtual projection game console, and a familiar projection screen appeared on the desktop. At this time, he did not directly enter the game. Instead, an interface popped up that read: "The first virtual projection movie in history, a shocking promotional video is coming. Do you want to watch it?"
