Talking about the class of visiting relatives during the Spring Festival.

The Writer's Odyssey is a fantasy, action and adventure film directed by Yang Lu and starring Lei Jiayin, Yang Mi, Dong Zijian, Yu Hewei and Guo Jingfei. Director Yang Lu is no stranger to many movie fans. His last work, Embroidered Spring Knife, also won a good reputation. This time, his new work "A Writer's Odyssey" is mainly about fantasy action.

This film tells the story of a poor father (Lei Jiayin) who is assassinated by a mysterious woman (Yang Mi) in order to find his missing daughter. But this task is not simple. In the film, the novelist (Dong Zijian) creates a fantastic world. Things in this world are also affecting reality. The real world and the novel world are intertwined, and it seems that the story pattern of the film is bigger than before, and the theme is more novel and interesting.

In order to create a different world with oriental colors, the film set aside enough time for two years to prepare for the later special effects production, which was operated by the original crew of The Wandering Earth Middle School. Judging from the film, the scene of another world is grand and full of strange imagination.

Candle dragon's lights swim in the air like fish, mysterious and weird. Armored soldiers shuttled between ancient buildings.

The raised dust came like an explosion. Other creatures are ferocious and terrible, wagging their tails on the ground full of corpses and blood, and moving quickly. The tone of the whole picture is cold and dark, with texture. It seems that the special effects should not be too bad, so we can look forward to it. The performance of the two actresses in the film is also eye-catching.

Earlier, Yang Mi said in an interview that she didn't want to play the sweet hostess any more, and wanted to try something cool. This time, her wish finally came true.

Will this film, which combines action, suspense and fantasy elements, achieve excellent results in the Spring Festival competition? Let's talk about it together: First, the dual time-space narrative makes the world magnificent. The Writer's Odyssey is adapted from the short story of the same name in the double collection of short stories. It tells the story of a father (Lei Jiayin) who accepted the task of assassinating a novelist in order to find his kidnapped daughter. At the same time, in the fantasy world created by the novelist (Dong Zijian), a boy also started his own revenge journey. The film adopts the parallel narrative method of the real world and different worlds. Every move of the characters in the novel also affects the real world. Two parallel worlds are constantly intertwined, and the characters step by step. What is the magnificent novel written by the novelist at the beginning of the preview? Another world? Appear in front of the audience in a completely different way. There is a magnificent palace on the top of the towering mountain, which seems to indicate that there is a ruler with supreme power in this different world.

Next second, a man with a knife is facing the mountainous and foggy mountains. As soon as the camera turns, it is a dark, mysterious and horrible abode of fairies and immortals. A writer's Odyssey, featuring fantasy elements, is released? Imagination? The slogan, which shows that there must be some elements in the film. In the preview, huge dragon lanterns can fly around in the sky by themselves, which makes people feel incredible, as if they are creatures. Enchanting dancers twisting their bodies on giant floats and crowds worshipping tall statues constantly show the audience the strangeness and mystery of this strange world.

While showing a different world, the lens of the real world is interspersed. The characters in the real world and the characters in the novel are doing the same action, and the connection between reality and illusion is constructed. This interwoven editing method can be said to be extremely ingenious. The narrative mode of double time and space not only strengthens the close connection of different time and space stories, but also creates a sense of urgency and excitement. The story of the novelist's assassination is novel, and the special effects are time-consuming and labor-intensive, striving to present the most vivid and vivid world.

Industrial technology makes dreams come true. The film invites the wandering earth team to take charge of special effects and tell the audience with top visual effects. Since wandering the earth, China's film technology has been continuously improved? .

Wandering earth starts with top visual effects? The first year of science fiction in China? . As soon as the special effects team took over the film, it was blindsided: it is impossible to create such a complicated and crazy setting by relying entirely on the domestic team. The production cycle of the writer Odyssey is five years, of which two and a half years are used for visual effect processing. In contrast, what is the visual effect time of wandering earth? Only? Nine months.

The later stage costs a lot, and the early stage preparation is also improving. The crew used more than 2000 design concept maps to outline the embryonic form of a different world. After another five months, more than 20 studios were set up, which used the largest dynamic capture site in China at that time to lay a good foundation for the later special effects production.

Ultimate villain? Red hair ghost? It is the best embodiment of the writer Odyssey's special effects technology. The production of red-haired ghosts? Fine to pore level? . Red-haired ghost, special effects cost as much as 2 million a minute, 400,000 hairs and 900,000 pores are all carved. In the final effect, the hair is clearly visible, the pores contract with the muscles, and the unique skin texture and nuanced vascular system of each finger make the character lifelike.

Red-haired ghosts become Spring Festival files? The highest appearance fee? It is this peak-level special effects that make the team send it out? For the first time, I feel that I am really making a visual effect blockbuster? Feelings, also let the visiting Jason Wu amazed.
