After the signing ceremony, Yang Chen was interviewed by the media and answered the questions of the reporters.
Reporter: " Hello, Director Chen. I'm a reporter from Banana Entertainment. I would like to ask why you chose to shoot a disaster film. What was the original intention of making this movie?”
Yang Chen replied," Actually, this movie is named '2050'. It's set in the future. It's also an appeal for environmental protection." The second reason is that the outside world is saying that China can't make a special effects blockbuster. I don't believe it. Doomsday of the Century is the type of special effects film with the most special effects. I don't want to rest on my laurels. I want to seek novelty, change, and breakthrough."
Reporter: " Hello, Director Chen. I'm a reporter from Mango TV. I would like to ask, there are rumors in the outside world that most of the special effects teams are domestic and have not imported foreign special effects. Regarding this, many netizens expressed their concern. What do you think?”
Yang Chen frowned and replied," Regarding the special effects, you may not know much about the professionals here. In fact, our special effects technology has reached the top in the world. In order to dispel everyone's doubts, we have specially produced a 10-second special effect shot. Please watch it.”
With that, the lights in the hall gradually turned off.
A scene appeared on the big screen.
A car was on the road, but the ground had already begun to tear apart, and the surrounding houses were collapsing bit by bit.
The sea water by the sea surged over, as if it was about to devour someone.
Countless pedestrians, cars, and buildings were instantly reduced to ashes and collapsed!
The video was only ten seconds long.
However, the picture was extremely exquisite and realistic.
It caused everyone present to exclaim.
The netizens watching the live broadcast also switched to the short video after Yang Chen spoke.
"F * ck, this special effect is awesome!"
"This is too real! The scene is grand!"
"Yeah, the entire city collapsed in an instant. Moreover, that car kept driving in front, and the ground kept tearing apart as it followed behind. It was so exciting to watch!”
"Too damn strong! Who said that domestic special effects couldn't work? I'll be the first to disagree!"
"When the movie is released, we must watch it!”
At the scene, everyone was dumbstruck. This special effect had already shocked them.
The lights lit up and Yang Chen slowly said,""Everyone, did you see the special effects? Actually, it's not much different from the foreign special effects, but this is only our full CG special effects. In other words, all of this was done by a computer! In fact, in the future, we will shoot according to the scale and model, and the post-production work will be more perfect. When the movie was finally released, the special effects would definitely be even more shocking than this short film!”
After a pause, Yang Chen seemed to be a little unsatisfied and continued to brag about their special effects.
"Actually, there are two kinds of special effects on the market. One is pure CG, which is the method commonly used in Hollywood now. The advantage of this method is that it saves costs and the production speed is fast. The second method was to use models and CG, using models for close-up shots and CG for long-distance shots. This kind of special effect that combined virtual and real looked more realistic, but the cost was higher because it required a large number of models.”
"I specially used a 1:24 scale model to build a city, and the workers brought the houses up.”
The staff below the stage moved a " house " up.
Yang Chen pointed at the house and said," Look, everyone. The walls of the building here are not a single piece. They are made of bricks."”
Yang Chen picked up a mini brick and placed it in front of the camera.
"Not only this house, but all the models and ruins are built with these small bricks. This would ensure that the collapse of the house during the earthquake would be the most realistic. There would even be footage of the pieces of the house slowly falling apart.”
"In order to create the panoramic model, as well as the ruins model over there, we specially made nearly 1 billion bricks for the finishing touch special effects. Our staff all used tweezers to glue these small bricks one by one to create these buildings, including the exterior decoration of the entire building.”
Everyone was stunned.
They finally knew where Yang Chen had spent his 700 million yuan on special effects!
This was too expensive. Not only did he use computer special effects, but the modeling work was already so exquisite!
Although the movie had not officially started shooting, it had already raised everyone's expectations!
After the press conference ended, the headlines of the entertainment section of the domestic media were all about Yang Chen's new movie!
It exploded!
Some netizens even posted the ten-second special effects video of the press conference on foreign websites.
This time, even foreign netizens gradually learned that China was about to release a special effects blockbuster.
