"Director Wang, is this okay? Our team spent a week making this! "Yan Wei said proudly when he saw their shocked expressions.
"Awesome!" Wang Luyuan gave him a thumbs up and said, "You've seen it for yourself. In the past, we were shooting with a green screen, and it was difficult for the actors to be emotionally invested. Now, we can actually shoot in a virtual world. I never thought about it! "
"So cool!" Screenwriter Fire Cave praised loudly. "I've been thinking about how to create the special effects in the novel in post-production. I didn't expect you to do such a good job!"
"I have a question. Can these virtual projections interact with the actors? For example, if I kick this tree, will it react? "
"Not now. The virtual projection scenes are preset. If you want to have other actions, you still need to go through post-production," Yan Wei explained.
"That's enough!" Wang Luyuan's eyes were shining. He said to the female lead, "Little girl, you're not afraid now, right?"
The female lead was still a university student at a film academy. This was her first time acting, and she had been worried that she would not do well. Now that she saw such a realistic scene, she immediately nodded and said, "Director, I'm not afraid. This scene is so immersive. When I was reading the script yesterday, the scene in my dream was similar to this! "
"Haha, okay, let's start shooting!" Wang Luyuan waved his hand and officially announced the start of the shooting.
…
The progress of the movie was very fast because there were high-tech escorts throughout the whole process. For a sci-fi movie, the shooting of ordinary scenes was very simple, but the big scenes were more time-consuming.
In some blockbuster movies, sometimes it would take ten days to half a month to make the special props and scenes.
But for Hongxin Film and Television, no matter what kind of scene or props, they could directly use virtual projection to show it.
Lu Zixin even asked RI-8901 to come over and help. Some of the exquisite props that the crew wanted could be made in minutes.
Wang Luyuan was very emotional. He said that this was the most satisfying movie he had ever made. He really got everything he wanted. Moreover, the movie was set on an alien planet, so there was no need to leave the studio during the whole shooting process.
After two months, the new virtual projection movie officially announced the end of shooting.
When the sample was submitted for review, it caused a small stir because this was the first virtual projection movie and no one had seen it before.
When it was sent for review, it was said that all the leaders in the review department personally watched the movie using virtual projection. Some of the leaders immediately applauded!
Then, the movie successfully passed the review and began to arrange for its release date.
"As soon as possible, we can only arrange it until October."
In the office, Wang Luyuan discussed with Xue Yao and Lu Zixin.
"Will it be in time for the National Day slot?" Xue Yao asked.
Wang Luyuan thought for a while and shook his head. "It's very difficult. A blockbuster like ours has every reason to be placed in the eleventh slot. But two movies suddenly changed their schedules and we couldn't make it. "
"One is Tomorrow's Earth, a 3D masterpiece produced by Lida Pictures and directed by the great director Jiang Hongru. The other one is' White Gun 2 'produced by Brother Pictures. "
"'White Gun 2' was supposed to be released during the Spring Festival, but it was suddenly moved to the eleventh gear. Tomorrow's Earth was scheduled to be released next year. Who knew that it would be released this year! "
Xue Yao raised her eyebrows and snorted. "They know that we want to fight for the National Day slot and did it on purpose, right? Using two blockbusters to fight for the slot! "
Wang Luyuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say. But they have a lot of connections in the industry. We really can't compete with them. If we can't get the National Day slot, we probably can't get the Spring Festival slot either. We can only wait for next year to air! "
"Next year?" Lu Zixin shook his head. "It's too slow. Hongxin Electronics will launch a virtual projection camera next year. If it's released next year, we'll miss the opportunity. "
Since there were already people researching their virtual projection equipment, Hongxin might as well take the initiative and occupy the empty market before the competitors come out with a product.
Therefore, to cooperate with the plans of the headquarters, Hongxin Pictures had to bring the movie forward. This was also the reason why the movie was filmed so quickly.
"If we can't get the National Day slot and the Spring Festival slot, the daily release might not be very good!" Wang Luyuan said worriedly. This movie was his proudest work so far. Of course, he wanted to arrange a good release and get good box office. He might even win a few awards or something and become a top director in one fell swoop.
"Let's release it after the October slot, mid-October," Lu Zixin said. "This way, we can arrange for the release of the movie. Some of the third-tier and fourth-tier cinemas still don't have virtual projectors. There are also very few virtual projection theaters in the big cities. "
"If we insist on fighting for the popular slots, the number of showtimes can't keep up."
"That's true!" Wang Luyuan nodded. Their movie couldn't be released as they pleased. Only some cinemas could release it.
"Moreover, we don't have to worry about piracy for our movie." Lu Zixin said, "No one has virtual projection equipment for a virtual projection movie. Even if someone wants to steal it, they can't. Even if they have the resources, they can't watch it without the equipment. "
"So, just release it on the usual schedule and let the market witness it."
…
All the preparations were in place. Hongxin's first virtual projection movie would premiere on October 9th in cinemas with "virtual projection" theaters in the country.
Those film and television companies originally wanted to suppress Hongxin Pictures in terms of schedule and number of showtimes. In the end, they realized that Hongxin didn't fight for the popular slots. Moreover, there weren't many cinemas with virtual projection theaters. There was no need to suppress them at all. They were naturally lacking.
As for Hong Xin Pictures, they also began advertising. First of all, the effect of advertising through ordinary media channels was average. This was because the promotional video only had ordinary 3D effects when viewed on a flat screen device.
However, the effect of advertising on virtual projection equipment was completely different.
In a virtual projection game area in an internet cafe. Now, virtual projection game consoles could play not only the large-scale online game "The Return of the Three Kingdoms" but also some small games. These small games were developed by the game operators that Hongxin cooperated with after they released the virtual projection special effects software.
This also greatly enriched the content of the virtual projection game, making it more attractive to players.
"Internet cafe manager, get on the computer!" A player came to the internet cafe excitedly, ready to play "The Return of the Three Kingdoms".
He started the virtual projection game console, and a familiar projection image appeared on the table. At this time, he didn't directly enter the game. Instead, an interface popped up that said, "The first virtual projection movie in history, a shocking promotional video is coming. Do you want to watch it?"
