Chapter 327: Dragon set of death

In late April, the three movie projects of Firefly were launched almost at the same time, and the schedule was set for this summer. This move violates the normal release cycle of many movies. After all, many movies in Hollywood in this era have been produced, usually in a few months, more than a year, so many media are against Eric. Such an arrangement raises questions.
However, for these remarks, Eric did not respond, because the firefly and the seven major film companies still have a lot of different operations.
After all, the fireflies are still a lot smaller for the big seven. For big movie companies, there are dozens of movies to be released every year. Of course, some movies will be delayed due to various conflicts, but the fireflies will be Not the same.
After the merger with the new line, Robert Shay has suspended the new line of small-cost production plans, so the firefly in the first half of the year only three film distribution plans need to be arranged, including the "silent lamb", "together with the enemy Sleep and "The Ghosts Are Not Yet".
"Instinct" is issued by the whole world, fireflies do not have to worry about it, and "People are not yet" is still released in cooperation with Disney. In this case, the release pressure of fireflies is smaller and the operation is easier, almost in the At the same time as making a movie, you can start a simple publicity work.
When the film was released, the promotion was actually carried out for three months. Relative to the one-month publicity time of many movies of big movie companies, the promotion of fireflies has been very sufficient.
At the same time as the film was filmed, Eric’s
Hacker
with more than 50,000 words was also sold on the shelves. Michael Kraus hardly spent much energy on publicity. This book easily climbed the top of the bestseller list.
What followed was also a voice of doubt. after all. This writing was too hasty, Eric spent more than a week of empty time, many details are considered incomplete, more like a lot of plausible fragments.
Therefore, many newspapers have criticized Eric's book for its ingenious conception, but the details are completely shoddy. It is simply fooling the readers, and even some newspapers criticize Eric for spending money. For this view. Even readers who don't like this book laugh at it. How can Eric's current net worth be seen in the insignificant royalties.
Of course, many people in Hollywood are aware of the true purpose of Eric’s writing of this book. Compared to the previous Jurassic Park and Resident Evil, this novel is obviously going to the movie, and After studying this novel carefully, many people also realized the great potential of "The Matrix" in the film.
Even if you know the opportunity, the people who contact the movie copyright will continue to do so. Even Cameron, who is preparing for Terminator 2, has a keen interest in the novel and has also made a special call to New York. Talked to Eric about some of his views on some of the ideas in The Matrix.
Of course, Cameron was very interested in not mentioning the copyright of the movie. Eric did not give the idea of ​​"The Matrix" to Cameron. Although this idea is very attractive, it is also very interesting. Empire and Cameron's film style are very different.
Cameron’s film is not lacking in thinking. For example, the Terminator series can be said to express a strong concern about the endless expansion of human nuclear armament, and the previous Avatar, which is through Neville. The story of the alien race defending Pandora's planet expresses a concern that human beings endlessly draw on natural resources and may end up being strongly countered by nature.
However, although with some thoughts, Cameron's films have always pursued the most gorgeous visual effects and the most popular lens scenes, and these are not the mainstay of "The Matrix."
The wave of "Matrix" is still continuing. Eric has not been affected by any outsider's evaluation. The filming of "Ghosts and Ghosts" is systematically carried out in various districts of New York.
"Stan, the of death I need is the real of death in a black cloak with a sickle in his hand, not a few shadows, but according to what you said, the final effect is probably A few black shadows."
The night in New York has just arrived. On a closed street, the staff is busy preparing for the pre-shooting. Eric and Stan Winston, who is responsible for the special effects, are discussing: "Yes, when it comes to shadows, this It is a big problem. Sam has become a ghost. Therefore, according to common sense, he should not have any shadows at the end. There should be no footsteps when walking. The footsteps are well solved. What about shadows?"
Stan Winston pondered for a moment and said: "This is very simple, using a shadowless lamp, and then dimming later, but it is very troublesome to shoot."
"I am not afraid of trouble, as long as I can do the details well," Eric decisively said.
At this point, the scene responsible for the set came over and told Eric that everything had been arranged.
Several extras who were wrapped in blue body tights came to Eric and Stan Winston. These people were the fearful 'death' in the movie. However, these people not only did not have any The horrible thing seems to be a bit funny.
Stan Winston and Eric went forward to personally check the dresses of several extras and said: "Eric, I don't think that death does not need to be too realistic, too realistic to become a horror film, so a few groups The shadow is just fine."
"No, Stan, I mean realistic effects, not a horrible effect."
"Is it true that death is not terrible if it is realistic?" Stan Winston asked with some strength.
Eric shrugged helplessly: "You just need to do what I want, and I will be responsible for the rest."
Stan Winston shrugged: "Well, as you wish, this is actually related to the later rendering, and now the rendering farm in the digital domain has not yet been built."
"Then borrow Pixar, they have ready-made rendering farms, although they are used to render 3d animations, but I remember the principle is similar, you communicate with John Rasset, if you can't, rent industrial light magic of."
Eric and Stan Winston checked a few dragons and made an ok gesture to the deputy director, then the filming began again. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
