"Are you all ready?""
Ready, director......"
"OK, stay safe, let's get started!"
A certain street in Los Angeles, where the Inception crew filmed, and the city government helped close this section of the road."
Props, are the rain sprinklers ready?""
Okay, director......"
"It's starting to rain, let's see the effect.""
OK......" is usually filmed with a sprinkler truck and a special sprinkler to control the amount of rain.For example, what Li He needs in this scene is a heavy downpour, but it doesn't rain much in Los Angeles all year round, and if you wait for the rainy day, there will be no hope, so the crew will come by themselves.The train was ready, and Li He took a few small shots in front of him, and then notified the train to start.This train is actually a tractor modification, with a shell on the outside, but it is very balanced.The train starts, accelerates to its highest speed, and then rushes into a pile of cars on the road.Because of the beautiful design before, the train looks like a fierce beast that has knocked over dozens of cars in one go, of course, these cars are also models, the kind that can be seen but not driven.This shot is quite venting, and it is not common to watch a train crash into the downtown area.But the neighborhood has been sealed, and it is impossible for anyone who has nothing to do with the crew to know that it will return to normal tomorrow morning."
Okay, call it a day today, Sissi will leave someone to clean up the scene!""
Good ......" ended today's shooting, and the crew returned to their hotel, which was their tenth day of filming in Los Angeles, and most of the footage had already been completed, and this was the only one left.The time entered September, and it was not as fast as the actual progress of the crew was faster than the specified date on the production schedule, and if it was filmed like this, it would be completed in mid-December.There is plenty of time, and Li He is not in a hurry, but has strict requirements for quality, and strives for the best and most perfect for every shot.In addition, in terms of post-production special effects, the film has a large number of visual effects, and it is difficult for a studio to complete these tasks as scheduled.Li He's Warner Pictures led the way, and the digital field released the previous suspicions, and the two sides cooperated again.On this day, at the end of the scene in Los Angeles, Lich went to the Digital Realm studio in Santa Monica."
Hey!
Neil, long time no see. ”Li He and a white man hugged warmly."
Me too, Li, seeing that your grades are getting better and better, I regret that I didn't continue to work with you in the first place."
Neil said."
Haha, aren't we working together now?""
That's right, let's go, I'll take you to visit the ......"
Entering the studio, Li He saw busy people, different from the general North American propaganda of the tall working environment, free and easy atmosphere, and humanized management, the digital field has strict rules and regulations, strict management, although the office space is okay, but it is definitely not tall.It is understandable that the digital field, as the world's No. 1 special effects production studio, handles countless projects every year.If a culture of freedom is fostered, it is likely that the duration and quality of any project will not be guaranteed."
At the heart of our digital landscape is undoubtedly the Creative & Technology group, led by the best team in Helge, who has developed a wide range of special effects technologies that are revolutionizing the industry."
Neil introduced."
Can I go in and have a look?"
Li He asked."
Yes, please come in!"
Neil didn't refuse.Li He went in and saw that this is the best place for the entire office environment, that is, there are no windows, and the chandelier emits a blue light, which makes the whole interior look sci-fi."
Doesn't it feel sci-fi and unexpected?"
A voice came from behind, and Li He looked back to see that it was a strong man with a beard, who didn't look like a technician, but more like a terrorist.The bearded man shook hands with Li He: "Hello, Li, my name is Helge, and I am the head of this department. ”"I'm glad to meet you."
Li He said politely.Neil and Helga continued to show Li He around and introduce the studio.This creative and technical department is not the same as the outside, where the studio staff are here to work, but here it is more like playing.Some people were playing games, some people were watching dramas, and three or five people gathered together, and Li He clearly saw them playing Gwent cards again.“？？？”"
Isn't it a surprise?"
Li He nodded and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a fishing department in the digital field, which is known for its strict management. ”"Hahahaha......"
Neil and Helgo smiled at each other, Neil continued, "The difference here is that the outside needs to complete special effects projects according to technical specifications, and there are no work projects here. ”"If there's no job, what do they do?"
Li He asked."
It's very simple, it's about providing ideas and technology."
Helge explains: "The special effects industry not only needs technical strength, but also requires us to brainstorm and innovate technology, which is why this department is here. ”"Oh!
That's how it looks......"
Li He was amazed, and decided to set up this department in ILM when he went back, "The bullet time in your movie "The Matrix" gave us a lot of inspiration, so we designed a lot of high-speed slow motion, so you can also take a look. ”Helge showed Leh a few experimental versions of what they had done, and it can be said that they did quite well, and this technology has been used in many films, such as "Ready Player One".Then Li He learned about many of the current leading special effects technologies in the digital field, so to speak, there is at least a ten-year technological gap between industrial light and magic and the digital field.Although Industrial Light & Magic is already quite good, it is still a big cut behind the digital field, which is unacceptable to Li He.Fortunately, there is an industry benchmark in the digital field, rabbits have a tradition of crossing the river by touching the eagle sauce, and industrial light and magic can cross the river by touching the digital field!
After visiting the studio, Li He had a small meeting with the management of the digital field to determine the part of the special effects that the digital field needs to be responsible for.For the sake of the fifteen million dollar face, the digital field readily agreed, and the two sides also had a happy working meal together, but there was a bit of puffed food, no wonder most of the employees in the digital field were fat.Back at the hotel in the evening, Li He was comfortably taking a shower and lying on the bed, Tang Qianqian was reading a book with her white and tender feet, and asked Li He, "Didn't you go to the digital field to visit today?"
How does it feel?
”"What a gap!
The gap, this one hit me. ”Li He said."
Oh?
What's wrong?
”Tang Qianqian asked with concern."
We still have a long way to go, and there is still a big gap with the technology in the digital field."
Li He said."
This is also normal, after all, Industrial Light & Magic has not been established for many years, and the digital field has been famous in this industry since the 70s of the last century."
Tang Qianqian said."

So we still have to work hard, and we have to urge them when we go back.""
You, just relax, Yang Anrong and they have done a good job.""
I understand, it's just a hurry......"
"Look at you, don't panic, where to shoot next.""
Go to Hong Kong Island and shoot the rest of the location scenes."
