Is it reasonable for me to build a space elevator when filming The Wandering Earth?

The points required for the exchange of black technology are often in the tens of millions, such as planetary engines, and artificial intelligence AI is hundreds of millions.

In other words, the box office of the movie has to reach billions to redeem them all.

And that's not even counting the box office portion that cinemas need to take away from distributors.

For Liu Lang, who has just graduated from film school, it is tantamount to a sky-high difficulty.

Even with the help of the 'film black technology' system, the cost of special effects, which is the most expensive in science fiction films, can be greatly reduced, but the cost of other actors, the cost of film production is not small at all.

The cost of filming a movie is too huge for Liu Lang now.

He doesn't expect to get any investment anymore.

With the current investment environment in the film and television industry of Dragon Kingdom, no one dares to risk investing in a science fiction film without the participation of big-name traffic stars and well-known small fresh meat actors.

What's more, this is still a 'hardcore sci-fi film' with less than 10% of the love scenes.

In the eyes of many people, this is already destined to be a street movie.

The investment direction is snobbish, and they will only do the icing on the cake, and it is impossible for them to send charcoal in the snow.

And Liu Lang is not willing to spend most of the investment in the movie on inviting those traffic stars.

"Maybe you can try to make a CG animation first?"

The most pressing issue now is that you have to complete your graduation project within two months, otherwise you will have to postpone your graduation.

Liu Lang knows that the conditions for making live-action movies are not yet ripe.

He decided to start with a relatively simple CG animation, relying on the help of the system to make a special effects short film, and coping with his graduation project first.

。

Liu Lang soon began to choose the short film he wanted to make.

To highlight the sci-fi elements, the picture must be shocking enough, so that the audience can have adrenaline soaring with the picture at the first time.

In the wandering earth, the scene of the United Government Air Force fighters fighting drone swarms and defending the space elevator appeared in Liu Lang's mind.

This section of the picture is explosive, full of science and technology, coupled with the grandeur of the space elevator, it is perfect to make a ten-minute sci-fi short film.

As soon as he said it, Liu Lang immediately ordered a batch of computer machines and equipment for CG animation rendering online.

Although the 'movie black technology' system can help him with a series of tasks such as picture rendering, character and item modeling, and special effects production.

But these are all required with corresponding machinery and equipment as carriers.

With the performance of the worn-out laptop in Liu Lang's rental house, it can't meet the system's strong special effects production ability at all.

When Liu Lang and the group of middle-aged ladies accompanied the wine to pull the investment, the investment was not pulled, and he was almost gone.

Afterwards, the group of middle-aged ladies only paid tens of thousands of yuan for medical expenses, and the matter was over.

The medical expenses were tens of thousands of yuan, plus the 20,000 yuan that Liu Lang usually saved by frugality, making up enough for 100,000 yuan.

100,000 yuan to buy a personal computer for playing games, the configuration is definitely top-notch.

But for the special effects production machines of the film industry, 100,000 yuan is only an entry-level level.

A mature special effects studio often requires hundreds or thousands of top-level computers, professional rendering rooms, as well as various virtual camera equipment, motion capture equipment, and so on.

But Liu Lang can't care so much now.

Now he just wants to get the ten minutes of 'drone battles and defending the space elevator' in his mind as soon as possible.

First of all, you can complete the graduation project and make sure that you can graduate smoothly.

Two days later, the computer equipment ordered online arrived quickly.

Liu Lang also prepared a box of instant noodles and two boxes of Red Bull, and after assembling the computer equipment, he turned off his mobile phone and immediately began to enter the 'state of retreat'.

。

The movie storyboard in my mind, with the help of the 'movie black technology' system, is constantly transmitted to the computer in front of me in the form of electrical signals.

"Buzz~"

This high-end computer, which cost Liu Lang almost all of his net worth, immediately began to run at full power.

The sound of the graphics card fan filled the entire rental house, but Liu Lang was indifferent to the noise in his ears.

He looked at the images that kept appearing on the screen, and after rendering, every frame could be used as wallpaper to enjoy, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

After the processing of the 'film black technology' system, the various shots in Liu Lang's mind can be accurately rendered by the computer and appear on the screen.

This significantly reduces the operating pressure of the machine.

The CG short film of special effects that Liu Lang is looking forward to is also being generated frame by frame, like a loom weaving, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The computer equipment ran at full capacity for half a day, and Liu Lang devoted himself to it.

In such a long time, the rendering of the special effects produced is only less than five minutes.

But Liu Lang was already very satisfied.

Compared with those mature foreign special effects studios, his speed is not slow at all, and even much faster.

Because almost none of the special effects he made were discarded and invalid.

With the help of the 'film black technology' system, the production efficiency is stretched to the limit.

If it weren't for the limitation of just one rendering device, Liu Lang's production speed would have been even faster!

After simply sucking two buckets of instant noodles, Liu Lang finally couldn't support it anymore and fell asleep.

After sleeping for just three hours, I got up again and continued to operate the machine to render special effects CG and make short films.

In this way, after three days of upside-down day and night fighting, Liu Lang finally produced this sci-fi short film of less than 15 minutes.

At this time, Liu Lang's whole person was no different from a homeless man.

Dark circles under his eyes, a messy hairstyle like a chicken nest, and instant noodle buckets and empty Red Bull bottles scattered all over the place, the air is filled with an indescribably unpleasant smell.

Liu Lang sat slumped in the computer chair, and after the short film was completed, a burst of emptiness followed.

It's definitely the best-made special effects short film he's ever seen.

What's more, although there is systematic help, this can be regarded as the result of his personal participation in the production.

"Isn't it too much of a loss to just hand it in as a graduation project?"

Liu Lang suddenly had such a thought in his heart.

After buying the rendering computer equipment, my savings have been exhausted.

Not to mention filming the live-action movie "The Wandering Earth" at the moment.

I don't even have the next month's rent.

'No, we have to find a way to make money!'

The graduation video is done, and the graduation problem is solved.

Now you have to think about your own survival.

Liu Lang looked at the computer, and it was still exuding heat after the rendering.

This is his own productivity tool, and Liu Lang certainly can't sell it.

Then you can only monetize the sci-fi short film that has just been made.

Liu Lang thought for a while and clicked on the computer browser.

opened Station B and created a new account: Liu Lang Studio.

Set the signature: My journey is the sea of stars!

Then I uploaded the sci-fi short film I had just made.
