Chapter 329(1/3)
326. Open the door
In November, Bomi Pictures' "The Wandering Earth" was demonstrated internally in Boxue Hall in the Imperial Capital Bomi Building.
It is said to be an internal demonstration, but it is actually just to give the boss a picture to let Cao Yang see how the actual filming effect is, and it is also to make some preliminary preparations for the release soon.
Bomi’s Boxue Hall can accommodate more than 400 people, which is more spacious than the IMAX screening hall in ordinary cinema chains.
Moreover, the screen of Boxuetang is quite large. If it is not used as a preaching or demonstration, it can be used to play movies.
However, the entire company, except for the President's Office, no one dares to watch movies here.
Today, the people sitting in Boxue Hall are basically all senior executives of Bomi Company.
Bomi Pictures CEO Ai Xiaomi, Bomi Group Chairman Cao Yang, Bomi Group CTO Liu Guangran, Engine Department Head Deng Peiqiang, Bomi Music CEO Yang Junrong, Zou Jielun and Xiangjiang’s Xie Tingfeng are also watching here.
As the producer of "The Wandering Earth", Ai Xiaomi is also the main demo today.
Liu Guangran is just here to join in the fun. He said that after living for so long in his life, this is the first time he has seen a science fiction blockbuster made in China, and it is also in 3D, so he wants to see the effect.
Deng Peiqiang is because the rendering engine used by Bomi Pictures is the research and development of their department. Based on the X2 engine, the rendering function is separately taken out, so a large part of this film is produced by Deng Peiqiang's team.
Of course, this time, because Bomi has little experience in film and television special effects, some of them have been asked Xie Tingfeng's special effects company to help produce it. However, from the final effect, the combination is quite good and saves a lot of money for the company.
If I find the American Industrial Light and Magic to produce special effects, it will probably be twice as much as the current budget.
Xie Tingfeng's special effects company is called PO Chaoting, which is the best special effects production company in China now.
This company was established very early and started to do digital late stages in 2003.
If the money is spent on special effects production instead of using it to invite traffic stars, Chinese science fiction movies are really not bad.
So this time Xie Tingfeng is also one of the people present.
What's more, Xie Tingfeng also played a very important role in "The Wandering Earth", so it is normal for him to come to Boxuetang to watch movies.
On Wandering Earth, Bomi Company invested 560 million yuan, of which nearly 400 million yuan was spent on special effects production. Xie Tingfeng's company took half of it. He himself was very optimistic about the movie and took the initiative to join and play a role without charging a performance fee.
If it weren't for the company's employees to have a meal, Xie Tingfeng would really want to directly [technical investment] and share the box office by creating special effects for the Wandering Earth without charging money.
However, considering the company's development situation, Xie Tingfeng finally gave up this idea.
Zou Jielun’s new album has been released, and it’s just a short period of time. You can take a break. When he heard Yang Junrong say that his boss invited them to the imperial capital to watch the internal demonstration of "The Wandering Earth", Zou Jielun rushed over.
In fact, Bomi Pictures and Zou Jielun still have a relationship—
Zou Jielun is not only an artist of Bomi Music, but also a director of Bomi Pictures. His current filming of "The Secret I Can't Tell" has been completed and is expected to be released next year.
Before "The Secret I Can't Say" is released, maybe there will be such an opportunity to demonstrate it internally in Bomi.
In fact, it cannot be said to be a demonstration. It is to let the senior management see how the final effect of this thing is. Everyone has a clear idea.
In fact, "The Wandering Earth" was completed at the beginning of this year, but it took a lot of time to pass the review. After getting the Dragon Chapter, it was scheduled until February 2007.
The treatment given by Radio and Television to Bomi is really good, mainly because Bomi is now quite influential and has done a very good job in the relationship with Radio and Television. Since 5 years ago, Bomi has been a company that Radio and Television likes very much.
There is not much trouble, and I will keep it in the first place, saving a lot of trouble for the staff and the superiors.
Moreover, the national level still attaches great importance to the shooting of the wandering earth. After all, it is Liu's work, which is also the main theme work. At the same time, this work shows the common destiny of mankind in the future and the spiritual connotation of man's conquering nature. In addition, it is the first 3D science fiction blockbuster in such a large scale in the true sense in China, so it is basically a green light.
Other movies are released, and I guess I can’t get it if I want to get the Dragon Chapter for a year or two.
The Wandering Earth was released in a few months, and it was directly archived until the Spring Festival, considering that the number of viewers was the largest at that time.
...
Cao Yang, Ai Xiaomi, Xie Tingfeng and Zou Jielun are also familiar with each other in private.
After all, everyone is a member of the Star Restoration Guild. When you have time, everyone will gather together to fight World of Warcraft. Since the existing copy has been opened, everyone's online time has not been as frequent as before.
However, it is still guaranteed to start a group once a week.
Before the movie was screened, several people sat together and talked and laughed, discussing the topic of World of Warcraft.
Except for Cao Yang, several others were curious about when World of Warcraft would release the next major version.
Cao Yang's answer was, "At least one year left, many people have not graduated from their equipment, and the existing content bonus has not been finished yet, but the content of the next version has been completed and can be released at any time."
"Mr. Cao, you are so bad. Can't we experience such a good thing internally?" Xie Tingfeng said with a smile.
"No, we have too few people. Let's wait to be with the whole world. Only when there are too many people can you have fun." Cao Yang said.
"By the way, do you have time on Sunday?" Xie Tingfeng said, "We are going to find a few guilds to go to Stormwind City together."
"Yes, okay." Zou Jielun nodded excitedly.
Previously, because the Star Restoration Guild was revealed to be a Star Guild, many World of Warcraft players joined forces to join this server and formed a powerful alliance guild group, and came to the tribe to slaughter the city from time to time.
Last week, Xie Tingfeng was fucked in Orgrimmar. Now he is angry and is thinking about when he will call on him to fuck him back.
Cao Yang smiled, it seemed that these people were really the best.
"I'll see if there is any arrangement at that time. If I have time, I will be with you. If there is no, you don't have to wait for me."
In fact, they were not ready to wait for Boss Cao, because there were not more than him, and there were not less than him. Just a garbage paladin like Cao Yang, they basically rushed in and finished it.
...
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the movie screening began after about 5 minutes.
This time, "The Wandering Earth" was played in Boxue Hall, and Ai Xiaomi also specially used 3D projection equipment.
3D projection is actually quite simple. You only need to configure two projectors and play them simultaneously. Because the polarization angles of the two machines are different, a weak deviation will be formed.
If you don't wear glasses, it will look like there will be a ghost.
After wearing 3D glasses, you will feel that the whole picture becomes three-dimensional.
Polarized 3D technology is now widely used in commercial theaters and other high-end applications.
Because it is passive reception, it is also called passive 3D technology. The cost of auxiliary equipment is low, but the requirements for output equipment are high, so it is very suitable for commercial theaters and other places that require many audiences.
The main reason for the three-dimensional sense is that the pictures seen by the left and right eyes are different, and the positions of the left and right eyes are different, so the pictures will have some differences.
When shooting a stereoscopic image, use two lenses, one left and one right. Then the image of the left lens is filtered by a transverse polarization plate to obtain transverse polarization light, and the image of the right lens is filtered by a longitudinal polarization plate to obtain longitudinal polarization light.
The left and right eyes of the three-dimensional glasses are equipped with transverse polarizers and longitudinal polarizers respectively. The transverse polarized light can only pass through the transverse polarizer, and the longitudinal polarized light can only pass through the longitudinal polarizer.
This ensures that the things photographed by the camera on the left can only enter the left eye, and the things photographed by the camera on the right can only enter the right eye, so it becomes three-dimensional.
...
The screening begins.
The first one to appear on the big screen were the familiar dragon chapters.
That is, the release license.
Because it is the image of a Chinese dragon, people affectionately call the supply license Dragon Chapter.

In the picture, a Chinese picture on the earth overlooking from space appears.
"Hurry, look, Jupiter." A man asked in the voice of the seaside.
"What is Jupiter?"
"Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system."
"Dad, there is an eye on Jupiter."
"That's a big storm on Jupiter."
"What is a storm?"
"Juste is like a big balloon, with 90% of it being hydrogen..."
...
Immediately afterwards, the picture changed and turned into a huge sun.
The narrator said: "The sun is aging rapidly and continues to expand. In a hundred years, the sun will expand to engulf the entire earth. In three hundred years, the solar system will no longer exist."
"Faced with this catastrophe, mankind has shown unprecedented unity."
