Chapter 406 Sharing Session and Star Animation Cute Opening
On the 1st, the second half of 2007 begins.
For Xingchen, the second half of the battle has officially begun.
Early in the morning, Lu Pingan came to the Nortel Lecture Hall.
This morning’s content is about technology sharing.
Lu Pingan said earlier that he would make the technology of "Huan Tai" public, and this time he did what he said.
So many people in the industry and related practitioners came here early this morning.
Everyone has expectations and at the same time a little doubt.
Making technology public is so selfless, but is it really possible?
Regarding this kind of problem, everyone had no worries after an hour.
Because Lu Ping An is serious about it.
The technology disclosed this time includes five aspects including special effects production, software open source, and production log Q&A.
For industry workers, this is extremely valuable.
After all, what is left behind by a team that can complete top-notch special effects like "Huan Tai", no matter how bad it is, is still better than the highest level currently available in the mainland.
Of course, everyone soon knew that Lu Ping'an dared to do this, and he was indeed cautious.
For example, the software is open, but you have to pay to use it. Although it is a bit expensive, it is much cheaper than foreign software, and the functions inside are not much worse than those of foreigners.
In addition, this technology sharing meeting is actually a recruitment and marketing meeting for the Star special effects team.
Small companies that do big special effects like Xingchen can't do it, and they can't imitate others. It takes a lot of money and time to achieve Xingchen's level, and the gain outweighs the loss, so for many people in the industry, joining them Just a good choice.
For film production companies, Xingchen's show of strength has also let everyone know that for special effects, Xingchen is the right choice. It is good and fast, and it is not very expensive. At least it is cheaper than Hollywood.
Also being promoted is IMAX.
This time, the IMAX effect of "Huan Tai" is better than that of "Transformers", and some domestic companies have begun to take notice.
This kind of thing, in fact, is just the same as 3D in the past. It is just a gimmick, but it cannot stand up to the current gust of wind, and investors like it.
Then I asked, IMAX camera rental is cheap, and the production technology is public. If you can't do it yourself, you can have it done by Xingchen, which is also not expensive~
So it is foreseeable that Xingchen will start another round of gimmick harvest.
Overall, this sharing session indeed paved a big way for the domestic special effects industry.
But in the end it still depends on whether the others can take advantage of it.
This is not something Xingchen has to consider. Xingchen has already fulfilled his promise and indeed made a huge contribution to the domestic film industry.
So everyone was quite satisfied with this sharing meeting.
However, some people present still expressed doubts, such as animation-related practitioners.
Among the more than 300 people who came today, there are also people who specialize in animation. There are more than 20 people in total, from various studios and universities.
Special effects technology helps animation, but it is not everything.
So one of the men asked: "Director Lu, will animation-related technologies be open source?"
"Yes, of course I will, but not now."
"When was that?"
"We will discuss it after everyone has watched "Kung Fu Panda" tonight."
People involved in animation expressed their understanding.
Nowadays, CG animation technology is still the best in Hollywood.
Can Xingchen achieve Hollywood level?
Everyone expressed their expectations, but their expectations were not particularly high.
Some people even think that maybe they are not as good as us.
At noon, everyone took a photo together and had dinner. The reporters took red envelopes and went back to work, while Lu Ping'an moved to the premiere to prepare for the afternoon premiere.
On the way, Wu Guohua asked: "Is it okay to do this?"
Wu Guohua is still a little worried.
There is no shortage of capable people in the country.
Xingchen is doing a good job in this area now, but if he plays like this, he will be in danger if he is not safe.
Lu Ping'an smiled and said: "Old Wu, your concept still needs to be completely changed."
"Concept?"
"Yes, we are not just a film company now, but capital, do you understand?"
".I see."
"At the end of this time, you will go to Xiang Guoqiang to study for half a year and study hard."
"clear."
How can capital do charity?
Charity is just a mask, the bottom line is bloodthirsty.
In the initial stage of the entire industry, it is the time when capital is sown.
Lu Ping'an hopes that more new teams will emerge.
Soon it was 6 p.m., and the grand premiere began.
There are still many celebrities coming today, and it seems that there are even more than during "Huan Tai".
All friends from safe road are here.
Not-so-related celebrities also came with their respective agencies.
Sister Hua took the initiative to contact Lu Pingan this time and wanted to bring her artists to support her.
Lu Pingan did not refuse, so superstars such as Chen Daomin and Carina Lau appeared on the red carpet.
But the level of these people is still not high.
International celebrities such as Guorong, Cheng Long, Gong Huang, Lian Jie, and International Zhang were present, once again raising the red carpet stardom.
Then came internationally famous directors such as Hayao Miyazaki and Kendall Law, as well as the great domestic poet Lao Mouzi. Directors such as Zhou Xingxing and Da Pao also came to support the show.
This surprised some people at the scene.
The previous one is easy to say, but the mere cartoon "Kung Fu Panda" can actually let the great poet and Lao Mouzi come over?
This is not a matter of level, but that these two are somewhat contradictory to Lu Ping'an.
Their appearance was of extraordinary significance.
Before the surprise was over, the strange-looking boss Ma in a T-shirt and another gentle boss Ma wearing glasses came.
The bosses of NetEase and Sina also came.
The Huayi boss Wang who was at the scene was very surprised: "Lu Ping'an has these connections?"
Of course, what surprised him even more was why all these people came together today?
However, before the surprise was over, something even more outrageous came. After entering the venue, he actually found that the bosses of a certain bureau, the Film Association, and the boss of the Ministry of Culture above them were also present.
They looked very low-key, chatting with Hu Qingquan and Han Sanpin. Those who didn't know thought they were teachers or leaders of some colleges, but those who knew the business knew at a glance that these few were real bosses!
The big and small Wang looked at each other and found that the situation was too much beyond their imagination, and some people couldn't understand it.
The little Wang asked: "Is it related to the market saying that he was engaged in cultural infiltration?"
As soon as the question came out, Lu Ping'an entered the venue and was interviewed by reporters.
"Excuse me, Director Lu, what do you think of the Southern Metropolis Daily's criticism of you for leading the way for Hollywood?"
Lu Ping'an smiled and answered loudly: "You will know after you watch the movie tonight. I will not argue with those idiots."
After that, he left in style.
A group of reporters wrote down the "famous quotes" and entered the theater together.
The red carpet entrance was over, and then it was time for the usual chat.
This time, Lu Ping'an didn't care about anyone and only spoke in front of the super boss.
To outsiders, everything was no different from the usual premiere, but a different atmosphere could be felt.
This atmosphere lasted until the movie started.
Soon, fans, reporters, guests, and dozens of film distributors from all over the country all took their seats, and the premiere began.
Then there was also a lively opening, which was really no different from an ordinary premiere.
After the excitement, Lu Ping'an came on stage, still simple and straightforward: "No more nonsense, let's watch the movie first."
After that, the lights in the theater dimmed.
Except for the people who were experiencing Lu Ping'an's style for the first time, no one else was surprised.
Soon, the big screen lit up.
Then came the opening titles of each producer.
This time the opening titles were a little different.
First, the titles of other producers were ordinary.
Finally, the titles of Xingchen.
But this time it became "Xingchen Animation".
The opening animation has changed.
The form is still the same, a big hand, releasing a galaxy.
But this time, the big hand turned into a furry and chubby, cute paw made of an animation that looked like an orange cat. In a warm-toned universe like Van Gogh's starry sky painting, the paw opened and released the galaxy in the palm.
And the originally realistic planets that made up the galaxy turned into round animals.
There are pandas, little rabbits, and a yellow one-eyed little thing wearing goggles. I don't know what animal it is.
Many small animal planets rotate along the planetary trajectory. If you look closely, you can see different expressions, some yawning, some eating.
They rotate and revolve, forming an animal galaxy.
The screen is full of cuteness.
Seeing this scene.
The audience was instantly melted by cuteness.
"So cute!"
The ladies in the seats already had cute eyes.
