In a large studio, Rong Guang, Yuan Quan, and Ding Yanfu, the crew's top executives, were trying out a very special set of photography equipment - the 3DMAX photography system.

3DMAX software was invented in the 1990s, almost ten years ago. It was used in animation production from the beginning, and many excellent three-dimensional animated films were created in Hollywood. However, it is not very popular in live-action films.

.

There are technical reasons here. Many technologies are not very mature yet, and even many advanced technologies are kept strictly confidential.

For example, Peter Jackson, the director of the "Lord of the Rings" series, is also the boss of Weta Digital.

The other one is the famous truck driver Cameron, who is also obsessed with the research of the latest digital technology. He would rather wait until 3DMAX technology is fully mature before he is willing to make the next movie.

Of course, we should all know the result. His next work is also a global sensation, sweeping almost all film markets in the world. That is - "Avatar"!

As for 3DMAX's camera equipment and photography systems, they are also only rented and not sold at this time, and Hollywood will send specialized technicians to provide "on-site guidance." In fact, it is sending a supervisor to prevent leaks.

But in this case, the cost becomes extremely expensive, and the figures on the bill can definitely make people feel scared...

…

After trying it out, Rong Guang discussed it with Ding Yanfu and others. Although Rong Guang had more of a reborn vision, this thing had never been used.

But there is also good news. There is no difference in the use of 3DMAX. It is nothing more than mastering a few shooting skills. It is not very difficult, but it takes some time to gain proficiency.

Fortunately, Rong Guang was well prepared. He had already set aside more than two months to master it as quickly as possible.

After the few people finally finished their discussion, Rong Guang and Yuan Quan went home in the same car.

Yuanquan asked: "Guangzi, are you going to join the group tomorrow? Do you need me to come over in advance?"

Rong Guang shook his head: "You can't help much even if you are here. This is mainly the work of the photography team. That means the rent is too expensive, otherwise I would still want to make an experimental short film. MMP! Those black-hearted foreign devils!"

"I never understood, why do you have to make a science fiction blockbuster? In fact, the script of "The Martian" is good, and it can be turned into a low-cost romance film. I really like the love in it. Hehehe..."

"What love can there be between an old couple?" Rong Guang is such a straight man, "You don't understand this, every man has a space dream."

"Hey, you men have too many dreams, don't you? Sometimes you dream of being a soldier? Sometimes you dream of space? It's like a little baby that won't grow up. Isn't it? Little friend Rongguang?"

Rong Guangle said: "Haha, actually we have a first love dream. A very innocent kind."

Yuan Quan squinted his eyes and half-smiled: "Then who was your first love? Humph."

"I don't know? When I was young and ignorant, a female college student took the initiative to seduce me out of nowhere. Hahaha!"

"Bah! Rong Guang, go to hell!"

"..."

In fact, not only Yuan Quan, but also many people in the industry are very puzzled, why did Rong Guang suddenly go to shoot science fiction themes?

In China Entertainment Film and Television, the science fiction theme has always been a blank. It is not even considered unpopular, it is almost a blank.

In the 1980s, there was a movie called "Death Light on Coral Island" which was a sensation. It was a short-lived flash in the pan. Then there were "Dislocation", "Thunderbolt Babe", "The Atmosphere", "Magic Watch" and many others.

Domestic science fiction movies, including Hong Kong's "Wesley" series, etc., suddenly disappeared across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and it is difficult to find any trace at all.

In particular, science fiction literary works have a large number of very loyal fans, and have always maintained a high popularity, and have become one of the important categories of literary works. The most famous among them is of course Da Liu's "The Three-Body Problem"

.There are many, many excellent science fiction authors.

This shows that there should be a huge market for it? And the box office of Hollywood science fiction blockbusters in the Mainland is not very low?

Maybe there is indeed a general environmental problem.

For example, if someone in China wants to make a "Jurassic Park", they will ask you - what is the realistic meaning? What is the positive meaning? Why do you want to make such a weird and weird movie? What is your conscience as a filmmaker?

Okay! Get rid of the Tyrannosaurus rex, why don’t I stop taking pictures?

The other is the backwardness of the film industry. As mentioned before, the film industry has at least hundreds of branches. Although our country has a complete range of categories and all of them are available, most of the branches are quite backward and cannot be compared with Hollywood at all.

Maybe we have excellent modelers and artists who can do a great job in making an ancient materialization, but we cannot make a high-tech space capsule!

Because of this, this time "The Martian" simply used real-life shooting. The amusement equipment in the Space Fantasy City are all model designs of the space agency.

In other words, based on the design of this model, there will be a real space station launched into the sky!

It can be seen that under this background, the doubts from the outside world are still very reasonable.

On the one hand, many people support Rong Guang to fill the gap in this science fiction genre; but on the other hand, many people are not very confident.

Can China really make science fiction blockbusters? Can we compare with Hollywood?

Of course, most of the doubts are kind-hearted, and they are mainly encouraging to Rong Guang. But there are always a few idiots who make noises:

"... I have visited abroad several times and am familiar with the advanced experiences of Hollywood and Europe and the United States. The reason why they can produce science fiction films that are popular around the world is because they have strong industrial and technological capabilities behind them... What can we have in our country?

Many things can't come out of thin air, right? We should learn with a humble attitude, and we should never be too ambitious and waste a lot of money to take risks..."

"...I admit that Rong Guang is a good director. But he is a director with realistic themes, not a commercial film director. Why did he suddenly cross over to shoot science fiction films? Was he lost due to success and wanted to make a career in science fiction films?

How about proving yourself in new areas? This is absolutely impossible!”

"...I don't want to say anything depressing. There is no atmosphere for science fiction movies in our country, and there will be no excellent science fiction movies either..."

"..."

You know, this is still an era when public knowledge is in power, and their influence among the people is huge. Even Koizumi was affected and began to have less confidence in science fiction films.
