Jin Xishan suddenly mentioned something: "Let's take the work at hand home and do it. The equipment is easy to move anyway. How about I call Frederick right now?"
Liu Qingshan was shaken in his heart, because Grace will be living at home in the near future, and Jin Xishan will rush to the set of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in a few days. Could she have realized something?
Just when he was feeling uneasy, Grace spoke up in time to disrupt the rhythm of the conversation: "The post-editing of the movie still requires a great director like you to do it yourself? Why does Snowland Studio have so many special effects artists?"
When it comes to professional issues, Liu Qingshan can use this kind of thing to distract his previous worries: "In fact, every film will have two edited versions. The director's cut is to increase the director's subjective judgment. The producer The human-edited version is mainly based on the market return of the film, so the editors at Snowland Studio also have work to do. However, I am not only the director and screenwriter of this film, but also the main producer, and besides This is my first directing work, so I have spared no effort in doing it myself. From now on, the main work will gradually be handed over to the editors."
"You will also use their edited versions for comparison, right?"
"That's for sure. Comparison can reveal the advantages and disadvantages, and then we can add, subtract or modify them according to different needs!"
As he spoke, he came to the first floor. I didn't know that the furniture in the bedrooms didn't need to be looked at closely. All the bedrooms had about the same amount of furnishings.
However, the furnishings on the first floor and the scenery arrangement in the basement need to be arranged according to the requirements of the homeowner.
It's just that Liu Qingshan basically has no opinions of his own, and everything will be based on Jin Xishan's idea. This is not the so-called generosity of a man, but the best way to maintain a harmonious family atmosphere.
Looking at Jin Xishan who was busy directing before and after, Liu Qingshan was still secretly rejoicing, but he didn't expect that not long after, Xueyu sent the equipment needed for editing, and Frederick and Hans personally escorted it.
As soon as Hans entered the door, he was shouting: "The boss's new home is indeed extraordinary, but this huge living room is one hundred square meters, right?"
Liu Qingshan was amused: "You really do as the Romans do, and you know how to use square meters?"
The standard size for calculating house area in Europe and the United States is square feet, which is rarely converted into meters.
Hans, who has always been carefree, had a smug expression on his face: "That's right, boss, I will probably stay in China for the rest of my life. I am afraid that my eating habits will no longer adapt to the West!"
To be honest, the food in most countries in Europe and the United States is extremely rough. Hans was born in Germany, which is better, especially in England and the United States. The most common things on the family dinner table are bread, salad dressing, and some vegetables. Also raw.
Wang Huansheng, who once studied in the United States, once told a joke. When he first arrived at the University of Lao America, he was not familiar with the local people and did not understand their family situations.
I finally made acquaintance with a local classmate and was even invited to his home for dinner.
But when meal time came, there were only two plates on the table, one containing bread and the other a glass salad bowl.
He thought it was an appetizer before the main meal at home, so he stopped eating after only a few bites, but couldn't wait for the other main meals to be served.
After finally waiting for the chattering host to get up and go to another room, he took the opportunity to ask his fellow Hua Guo classmates when the dinner would be served.
The fellow student who was one year above him was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he almost laughed so hard that he almost got under the table.
After his subsequent explanation, he said this: When a local classmate invites me to visit him at home, I always come back with a full stomach, and the only purpose of coming is to have a place to play games quietly.
It shows how primitive the eating habits of Americans are. Don’t be led astray by the plot in the movie. Westerners often eat steak. It is a delicacy that can only be enjoyed in restaurants. Ordinary families can only grill it on the fire at Christmas. Chicken, fried chicken nuggets and French fries. Most of the time, a plate of bread and a bowl of salad are enough to satisfy our needs.
In comparison, Germany is much richer, because most of their people do not reject pork, and there are many ways to eat pork.
In the whole of Europe and America, the only country that is more particular about food is France. This is just because most European and American areas pursue a fast food culture and emphasize efficiency. Only France has a rich variety of food, beautifully prepared food, and is willing to spend 3 hours on a meal. .
However, France can be called a gourmet country only because of the perception of Europeans and Americans. If authentic Chinese people stay in France for a period of time, they will inevitably be full of complaints about food.
Therefore, Hans' words almost represent the common psychology of many foreigners coming to China. More importantly, the indigenous people here are not exclusive and are willing to accept new things.
Of course, there is another indispensable point. The salary offered by Xueyu is very high. Here you can earn as much as Hollywood's first-line technicians.
Unlike Hans, who was good at talking, Frederic seemed to be only interested in work-related matters.
Therefore, in his conversations with Liu Qingshan, he often talks about the progress of scientific research projects after a few sentences: "Mr. Cameron is very satisfied with the development process of special effects. He has returned to China to form a filming team and has taken away part of the master tapes. , and then find more suitable actors according to our design."
"Oh? Our design is not based on the actor image he provided?" Liu Qingshan asked strangely.
"It's not that he's dissatisfied with the actor's image, but he's very satisfied with the Na'vi language we designed for him. In order to ensure that every frame in the film is impeccable, he plans to go back and While the actors gathered together to participate in field training, they also had to master the language we designed for them as quickly as possible. The requirement was that all the actors would find the pronunciation simple, and it would also sound different from any other language in the world."
The language of the Na'vi people in the film was completely cloned by Liu Qingshan based on the original sounds in the original film, but it was completely fabricated by linguists, and as many as 500 words appear in the entire film.
To this end, Liu Qingshan asked Xiaoxing to cut out the relevant scenes one by one, and then combined them with the original text to create the literal pronunciation.
His original intention at the beginning was to try to match the original version as much as possible, but his carefulness shocked director Cameron so much that he mistakenly thought it was specially designed by Snowland Studio for the movie. You need to know the special effects. The production fee is the package price of the entire project, and there is no extra charge for designing a new language.
Cameron misunderstood Snowy Studios' serious work attitude, so he was moved and became more determined to make the film a classic. So he persuaded the main investors to invest additional money just to temporarily add a pre-training project.
He believes that the special effects team he hired with money has done a lot of work that does not belong to them without seeking profit. As the chief designer of the entire movie, he cannot lag behind outsiders. This is already It’s not just a matter of work attitude.
In fact, Liu Qingshan had neglected to design a new language before. Moreover, it was not his own design in the first place. It also came from plagiarism, so he didn't take it too seriously. He gave the combined words to the technical team and forgot about it. .
But he never thought that his unintentional move would deeply shock Cameron and his director team.
In fact, even Frederick, the leader of this team, forgot the importance of helping the producers design a new language, otherwise it would be impossible without raising the issue of additional remuneration.
But at that time, the process from establishment to implementation of the project was quite fast, and then the technical staff worked day and night on the design. As long as Liu Qingshan and Frederick did not mention this matter, they had no reason to worry about it. question.
It wasn't until Cameron was moved that he aroused a stronger sense of responsibility and an urgency to pursue the highest level of art, and proposed to change his plan and return home early, which was when he helped Frederick remember this.
It's just that at this time, most of the animation design has been completed, and it is no longer possible to get additional investment from the producer, so today he gave Liu Qingshan a tactful reminder.
After figuring out what was going on, Liu Qingshan immediately smiled bitterly: "It's mainly my fault. I was only thinking about the special effects design at the time, and I completely forgot about this extra effort! But this is good, at least The reputation of our Snowland Studio has been reflected, and taking this step is very important for our future career development, so let’s take some losses!”
"That's right!" Frederick obviously agreed with his point of view, "As long as "Avatar" can be successfully released and achieve certain commercial results, the reputation of our snowy region will be established!"
"The more important point is that the Hollywood film companies know our work attitude. As far as I know, the overtime work that happened some time ago will not happen often in them, right?"
"Our technical staff also found it difficult to accept it at first, I mean foreign employees like me. But the boss is very considerate for us. Overtime hours will be compensated three times during the vacation period, and it will not affect the salary. We have obtained it several times. Therefore, including me, we all think that our Snowland management is very humane, which is very important!"
"You have actually overlooked another favorable condition. Those who have made significant contributions to the early development of our Snowland Studio can also get a treatment opportunity from me. Whether it is me or an elder in the family, if there is a health problem, I will I will take action for you once, but this opportunity cannot be bought with money!"
Frederick was already a little moved when he heard this. It is impossible for him to not understand Liu Qingshan's miraculous medical skills. It is said that even terminal diseases can be completely cured. Such employee treatment cannot be bought with money.
So he immediately expressed his position: "I will hold a meeting to talk about this when I go back today. Boss, your promise is a bit big. Even I need some time to digest it!"
