Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 113 113. The ability to control the entire field

Lu Ya is a native of Xia. She was very interested in animation special effects when she was in college. After graduation, she came to Yingjiang to study and develop.

She is a workaholic and passionate about this industry. After joining the Hollywood Special Effects Company, she worked hard and was promoted to a supervisor within a few years. She has presided over many large-scale commercial special effects movies.

It stands to reason that she should have an extremely bright future, but her fate is full of misfortunes.
A few months ago, there was a general strike in Hollywood. Film and television series were suspended, movies were postponed, and screenwriters and stars took to the streets to protest.

As soon as these upstream things stopped, the downstream special effects companies that depended on the project were instantly affected.

Projects were reduced, economic benefits were reduced, and she was laid off without surprise, along with more than a dozen of her subordinates.

This is actually very helpless. It's not that your ability is not good, but that the company doesn't have so many projects anymore and doesn't need so many people.

This is just the tip of the iceberg in the special effects industry.

Lu Ya wanted to find another job, but there were no vacancies. Just when she was at the end of her rope, Allen found her and gave her a new job.

It wasn't until meeting Chen Li today that Lu Ya realized that she was going to work for the famous director Xia Guo!
It's impossible not to be excited in my heart.

They are all from the Xia Kingdom, and Lu Ya has been a fan of Chen Li for a long time, so when she saw Chen Li, she already looked like a fanatical fan!

"Don't be too nervous. I've read your resume and you have a lot of experience." Chen Li said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss!" Lu Ya took deep breaths to calm down.

Chen Li sat on the boss's chair and took out a notebook from the drawer and handed it to Lu Ya.

"This is the special effects content that I will shoot for my next movie. You can take a look first."

Lu Ya picked up the book with trembling hands. She never thought that one day she would cooperate with Chen Li. She was so excited!

She opened it and found that it was a very complete movie design manuscript, including alien shapes, spaceship weapons and other alien technology.

It was obvious that the drawing was very sloppy, but as a special effects designer, she was still frightened.

"Boss, you drew all these?"

"Yes, I drew it last night."

"What!!!" Lu Ya was shocked!
She is no longer new to work. She has handled so many projects and has never seen any of them.

But I have never seen any director draw a concept design draft by himself. Usually, he leaves it to his art team and then finalizes it round by round.

This is one of the reasons why film preparation is so time-consuming.

But the content of these Chen Li paintings, whether it is three views or appearance details, these depths can already be modeled directly!
This was actually done in one night? !
Damn, did you hear that right? ?
With this level and speed, even the professional art team would have to kneel down to worship the master!

Lu Ya was in a semi-conscious state.

She really wanted to ask her boss if he was in the wrong profession?
Chen Li also knew that it was a bit shocking, but he had no choice but to spend too much time.

"It's nothing, boss. I have no problem with these modeling. The previous team has already gathered together. We can start work immediately. As long as the actor playing the prawn puts on the motion capture equipment, it will be synthesized at that time."

"However, scene CG synthesis will be more time-consuming, and you may need to wait until the final film is finalized before you can start."

Lu Ya spoke a little implicitly. She knew that Chen Li was competing with Lai Si.

She also found out that the other party was supported by an entire special effects company, which was incomparable to her own small team of more than a dozen people, so she could only hint to Chen Li that the final film must be finalized as soon as possible.

However, based on her experience in the industry, if the director does not cut five or six versions, it will not be finalized.

It's just that the further time goes by, the greater the pressure on their special effects artists.

Chen Li said nonchalantly: "My special effects requirements have been given to you. You just need to follow these time periods." Lu Ya looked at the watch in the direction of his finger.

It records in detail how many minutes and seconds there are special effects and what needs to be done. It is even marked on the storyboard. Basically, you just need to follow these and make it without thinking.

Lu Ya's eyes widened: "Boss, don't we need to do a few more lens comparisons? Can we confirm it now?"

"No, you just follow my instructions, not a minute longer or a second longer."

When Lu Ya walked out of the office with a stack of information, she was still confused. She had never seen tasks arranged like this! ?
Why is Director Chen so confident?
After the special effects team was activated, Chen Li took his crew to start shooting.

Chen Li plans to direct and star in this movie. Apart from the male protagonist, the rest of the actors will be guest stars. Cao Hong is responsible for the motion capture of the second male shrimp, and Liu Wanxin plays the male protagonist's wife.

While Li Tian and Allen went to find a location for filming, Chen Li and Wang Anrou started filming the movie.

This time, unlike Chen Li's previous low-budget films, only a few people participated in the filming. Because it was a blockbuster, it involved all aspects of the problem.

There are too many tedious things such as a large number of extras, multi-department coordination for lighting, service, and scene scheduling. For this reason, some Hollywood setters and photographers were invited to help.

To be honest, everyone was a little scared. They were afraid that Director Chen was inexperienced and would not be able to control the whole audience. Then the progress would be messed up and there would be trouble.

This is Hollywood, and Chen Li is getting a lot of attention now. If he messes up, he will definitely become a joke in the industry.

Wang Anrou was so nervous that she couldn't sleep all night.

After all, she is a student who has just graduated. As an assistant director, you can imagine the burden that is placed on her.

Almost half of Hollywood is waiting to see if this boy from Xia Guo, who has only made low-budget movies after rejecting Paimon and Metropolis, will cause any embarrassment on the set.

However.
All worries disappeared as soon as the phone was turned on.

Chen Li doesn't look like a novice at all. He is extremely meticulous in controlling the set. The scenes that were a bit chaotic at the beginning of filming became orderly under his gentle guidance.

Only then did everyone realize that Chen Li had such an awesome ability to control the scene even though it was just a small fight in the past!

Hidden too deep! !

This also disappointed everyone who was prepared to see the joke.

When it came to the start-up stage, several hired Hollywood photographers were originally going to show off their shooting skills to Director Xia Guo, but they were all interrupted by Chen Li.

"You just need to shoot as I ask, do you understand?"

The photographers were a little unhappy at first, but after seeing the storyboard design that Chen Li brought out, they stopped talking.

In Hollywood, it is rare for a director to draw his own storyboards, and a director who can draw so well and so smoothly is simply unheard of! !
As a person, after reading this storyboard, you will completely know the direction of the plot.

In fact, they only need to shoot according to the storyboard. Even the movement of the camera and the positioning and composition of the actors are all in the most perfect state, which is much better than they thought.

"Oh my God! Director Chen Li is the most unique director I have ever seen in Hollywood!"

"Even a world-class director may not be able to draw such a storyboard."

"I think that following his shots will definitely produce the best results. We'd better put away our petty thoughts."

"He is obviously so young, why is he so powerful?"
