　　CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection recently reported five cases that middle-ranking cadres violated the eight central regulations, and five corrupt senior officials generally had access to private clubs. Four clubs and hotels, including Beijing Huishang Hometown Hotel, were named, which was rare in previous reports.

　　According to the circular, from 2013 to the beginning of 2016, Wang Yang, a member of the former party group and deputy director of the Standing Committee of Liaoning Provincial People’s Congress, was invited by a private business owner three times to accept banquets at the hometown hotel of Huishang in Beijing and the residence of the business owner.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that the hometown of Huizhou merchants has five stores in Beijing. Are the dishes in this restaurant luxurious? Why are the problem officials noticed and named by the discipline inspection department after spending here? The reporter’s investigation found that the appearance of these hotels is very low-key, but the interior is mainly private rooms, and the space is private. The dishes range from ordinary home cooking to a table of 10,000 yuan.

　　There is little difference between low-key hotels and mid-range hotels.

　　The hometown of Huizhou merchants is an enterprise established by Anhui Huangshan Tourism Development Co., Ltd. in Beijing, and has opened five branches in Beijing. The reporters of Beiqing Daily visited five stores respectively and found that the general appearance of these stores was relatively low-key and there was no gorgeous decoration. Houhai Store, the hometown of Huizhou merchants, is located in gulou west Street on the north side of Houhai. On the north side of a narrow road, the hotel is a four-story building with a small area. The dense leaves in front of the door almost block the hotel. Low-key is also the "advantage" that staff talk about. The staff said that there are such shops next to Houhai, with small storefronts, neither a five-star hotel nor a club that looks very high-end.

　　The Chaonei branch, located at No.2, Nanxiaojie Street, Chaoyangmen, is the flagship store of Huizhou merchants’ hometown in Beijing. Outside the main entrance of the restaurant is an archway made of bricks, wood and stone carvings, which is a typical Huizhou architectural style. The interior decoration of the restaurant is also very rich in Anhui characteristics. The storefront of Sanlihe Road Store, the hometown of Huizhou merchants, is also unobtrusive, and the design of the store is mainly based on the unique gray and white color of Huizhou architecture. The decoration style of Yuanda Road Store, the hometown of Huizhou merchants, is different from other branches. The store is located on the first floor of Qingqing Commercial Building on Yuanda Road, which is inconspicuous.

　　The antique private rooms are mainly private and sound-proof

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that most of the private rooms are the main features of this restaurant. These private rooms generally have televisions, and some large private rooms also have antique desks and other furnishings. Sanlihe Store has many private rooms, the lobby is only 40 square meters, but there are 26 private rooms. The same is true of Houhai Store. In addition to the public dining space on the first floor, there are private rooms on the second, third and fourth floors, and there is a private room on the terrace on the fourth floor. You can see the hutong outside through the large glass window, which is quite comfortable and is also a popular private room. A six-room private room in Guang ‘anmen Store is uniformly paved with wooden floors, equipped with solid wood chairs, and a wooden screen is used to create a Huizhou-style architectural style. All the boxes are equipped with separate bathrooms, and this six-person private room is also equipped with a special tea room area.

　　Yuanda Road Store has a large private room named "Luzhou", which covers an area of about 30 square meters. There is a solid wood dining table made of Chinese rosewood in the middle of the room, and there are 16 chairs on the side. On the other side is a set of Chinese wooden sofa made of the same material. There is also a wooden antique shelf on the wall at the back of the sofa, on which several ceramic antiques are placed, and a small hollow wooden screen is separated between the dining area and the rest area.

　　The waiter of a branch told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the box was the first choice for customers to book because of its privacy and good sound insulation.

　　Small tomatoes in 58 yuan are selling puffer fish and swordfish.

　　What’s the price of the food in this restaurant? The menu of Houhai Store shows that there are high, medium and low-priced dishes, ranging from home-cooked dishes with a price of 40 yuan to 50 yuan, as well as dishes with a price of several hundred yuan, such as Huangshan Shaoshuangshi with a price of 468 yuan, Liaoshen with a price of more than 100 yuan, and Yangtze saury with a price of 198 yuan. This kind of fish is often fried to a higher price in some places. In Chaonei store, the prices of several famous Anhui dishes are mostly above 100 yuan, such as Huizhou Stinkfish 268/ case and Hu Shi Yipin Pot 168/ case. In addition, there are also sea cucumber dishes that charge by the place, and the price ranges from several hundred yuan.

　　The specialty dishes of Sanlihe Store are mainly from 200 yuan to 400 yuan, and there are also relatively expensive dishes, such as "Li Hongzhang Health Club", which is priced at 298 yuan/person, and guests need 888 yuan if they order a whole meal. In the menu of Guang ‘anmen Store, the most expensive dish is a dish named "Yangtze shad", which is about one catty in size and priced at 498 yuan/case. Except for puffer fish, rare fish and other typical dishes with high price per head, the price of Anhui specialty dishes in this hotel is not high, generally not exceeding that of 100 yuan. However, the cold dishes in this restaurant are generally priced on the high side. A small persimmon is priced at 58 yuan/serving and a pig’s head is priced at 88 yuan/serving. Mr. Chen, the business manager of Guang ‘anmen Store, said that the average per capita consumption of this hotel is around 200 yuan, which is already a relatively high-end Chinese food price. If there are special needs, the hotel can provide catering and ordering services. He told the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "We can get 10,000 yuan for a table for ten people, excluding drinks, and more dishes."

　　The drinks provided by many stores include high-end brands, such as Feitian Maotai, which costs more than 2,000 yuan a bottle. Waiters in many stores said that there was a 15% service charge for all private rooms, but the dishes were no different from those in the lobby.

　　The operation has not been significantly affected by the notification.

　　After Wan Qingliang, former member of the Standing Committee of Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and former secretary of Guangzhou Municipal Committee, was investigated by CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on suspicion of serious violation of discipline and law, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately raided the private clubs he set foot in and shut down many clubs. Beijing has also launched a special campaign to rectify the unhealthy trend of clubs, and some high-end clubs have been transformed into cheap hotels for civilians.

　　The staff of a store in the hometown of Huizhou merchants said that in their view, their store is relatively civilian and open to the public. It does not belong to the nature of high-end private clubs that are only open to a few people, so it does not belong to the category of rectification. There has been no special movement in recent years.

　　The staff of Houhaidian said that they had never heard that their restaurant appeared in the notification of the officials who had fallen off the horse, nor did they know when the leading cadre had eaten in the store, nor did they feel any obvious changes in the past few days.

　　The staff of Guang ‘anmen Store said that the store had just opened for one year, and the eight central regulations had been promulgated at that time. Usually, people who looked like officials came to eat. The person also claimed to have seen officials from a certain Beijing office come to dinner, but there was not much extravagance and waste. Regarding the impact of the eight regulations issued by the central government on the business, the staff of Yuanda Road Store said that these will definitely have a more or less impact on the hotel. Many people will not come, and now they can’t eat and drink with public funds as before, but he thinks that the store is an ordinary middle-and high-end hotel chain, not a private club, and the business is still normal at present.

　　Can provide small invoices without serial numbers.

　　A staff member of Houhaidian said that it is not clear how many customers are leading cadres and have not been inspected by discipline inspection. The staff member said that if the inspectors came for an unannounced visit, they might not know it, but they had never encountered such insightful work as checking invoices. Some staff members said that they had not heard of the news that the hotel appeared in the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection bulletin. It was the first time that they heard about it, because it had never been inspected, so there was no need to tamper with it.

　　Regarding the recent criticism from CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked if he would pay attention to it. The staff of Guang ‘anmen Store said that some people would ask them to issue small invoices when they finished spending. He said that the method of multiple sheets in small amounts is safer, and hotels can cooperate with the opening of small invoices. When the reporter of Beiqing Daily said that the invoice denomination was too large to be handled well, the sales staff of Chaonei Store revealed that although the invoice content can only be used for meals, it can be divided into several parts, and it can be disconnected. "Don’t worry, we are all cheap restaurants here and have never been checked."

1905 movie network news Directed by the famous cartoon director holger Tape, the film dubbed by emily watson, jason isaacs and others has recently been released in Chinese mainland. The film has embarked on a fantastic adventure journey around a family of four who are full of contradictions. After a series of incredible crazy adventures, this frustrated second-child family realized that the company of family members is the most precious happiness.

　

The conflict between the second-child family intensifies, and the surprise trip is hilarious.

　

The movie "Monsters: A Crazy Journey" tells the story that in a family with a second child who is full of contradictions, Emma, the mother, runs a problem bookstore that is deeply troubled by debts, and she has to fight with Faye, the eldest daughter who is rebellious in adolescence. Although Max, her son, is a bully in primary school, she has been bullied repeatedly at school. Frank, her husband, has endless classes, and she is in a hurry at work and life. Everyday drinking cold water and wrestling on the ground, Emma’s beauty when she was young was exhausted by her daily bad life, and life seemed to be trapped in the water all the time, which made her frustrated.

　

All this was changed on a Halloween night. Their family was unexpectedly cast a spell by a witch sent by Dracula, and became a monster. The younger brother of the coward became an evil werewolf, the sister of the anthomaniac became a thousand-year-old mummy who could control her mind, the housewife turned into a vampire with a hot body and a beautiful face, and the Buddhist father became a Frankenstein with infinite strength. So they staged a century chase with the witch to lift the curse. During the chase, Emma’s family experienced all kinds of obstacles, all kinds of excitement and antics turned the audience upside down, and staged the most sad and unique family trip in history for the audience.

　

The theme of family fun is honest, sincere and wonderful. Fantasy journey accompanies growth.

　

Through simple and interesting stories, the film tells the audience that as long as the family is together, they will have "super powers". Although living in new york, the family of four depicted in "Elves and Monsters: Crazy Journey" can resonate with millions of global audiences in Qian Qian, which is precisely because they are an ordinary family: hard-working parents, confused sisters in adolescence, and younger brothers who have their own troubles at an early age. It is suitable for audiences of all ages. After watching the movie, many families said that the family can communicate without generation gap and distance, which not only gains laughter, but also promotes parent-child relationship.

The film is entertaining, the children see the story, and the adults see the moral. Many Weibo V’s personally praised and supported it, saying that it was a wonderful film worth the ticket price. It is worth mentioning that during the movie, the audience all burst into laughter, and the end of the film was moved by the true feelings of Emma’s family of four. After the screening, many parents said that they must recommend such a good film to their friends, and even borrow friends’ children to brush it one by one. It also reflects the audience’s sincere recognition of the story.

　

The movie "Monsters: Crazy Journey" is being shown in the national cinema recently. The fantasy experience of a family of four exudes a rich family atmosphere in spring. I believe that the crazy journey full of laughter and tears will definitely bring different gains to the audience.

1905 movie network news A "rice" that has been fried for more than ten years has recently been put on the table by public opinion.During the communication in the first decade of this century, this kind of "rice" with a strong Korean flavor shocked the three views of melon-eating people in our neighboring countries through entertainment pages with urban legends such as "sneak shots", "chasing cars" and even "pressing beds". Unexpectedly, after many years, this kind of "meal" called "illegitimate" has been integrated into an ecology of China’s entertainment industry.

From YiBo to Karry, from Hugh to Yang Mi … … When the whole entertainment circle is annoyed by stalking fan, its derivative phenomena and even the industry, the definition of "stalking fan" who has been expelled from the top down seems clear and vague.

Ta is stalking fan.　Unrecognized heresy comes not only from "flow"

"Take! I’m really getting worse and worse! ! ！”On the evening of May 9, a young actor who tried to sleep in his car after a hard day’s work.kingoneBo, through personal Weibo issued such a cry.What makes it difficult for him to fall asleep is the annoyance and even fear that "people follow him endlessly everywhere". As early as a week before his unbearable voice, his company Lehua Entertainment just issued a "solemn statement" condemning and warning of similar acts that have lasted for a long time.

It is the basic sign of "stalking fan" to try to infiltrate the life outside the artist’s lens; Those "illegitimacy" evils that were amazing in Korean entertainment industry have become the real nightmare of China stars.

Similar "abnormal" idolize behavior was traced back to the 19th century in the version circulated on the Internet. It is said that at that time, many fans of ballet dancers in Europe would steal their idol’s dancing shoes, boil them in water through a grand ceremony, and distribute them to all the good drinkers present … …

Although this "origin" is heretical and bizarre, it is still dwarfed by the car chase that can kill people in minutes. In addition to the real life threat, the psychological destruction of "stalking fan" who love but don’t turn back on their backs is more likely to be the last straw to crush the artists who are already under great pressure.

In the famous event "Who bought 500,000 Bazaar?", actor Li is now on his way to the bathroom and is loudly questioned and humiliated by stalking fan, who is difficult to get close to. I am afraid that the artists who have been yelled at will have to ponder for a while.

This kind of digital entanglement, in the view of Zhou Guiyi, the founder of WeChat official account’s "Sister Yi Watching a Movie", is the original sin of "flow". "The survival model and profit model of some’ traffic’ stars are based on traffic. For example, selling a magazine with its cover may sell out in two seconds, and the last new song may break through 100 million in one second. Is there any contribution from’ stalking fan’ behind it?"

Judging from the viewpoint that "water can carry a boat and overturn it", in the current situation of entertainment circle where "flow" economy is dominant, it seems reasonable that the bad behavior similar to "illegitimate" behavior is self-defeating. Even if the artist himself wants to break through the image of "flow", he is obviously more likely to be infringed when he is still in the industry logic of realizing "flow".

Of course, the object of "illegitimate" behavior is by no means limited to simple "flow" artists. The thriller "Ten Days of Danger" tells the terrible story of nurse Missely trying to control the ending trend of the writer’s latest works because of the distorted mentality of fans during the process of meeting and caring for the injured writer, and then controlling the writer’s basic freedom of survival.

Singer Yang Kun, who will never be associated with "traffic", also posted a blog in 2017 to expose surveillance images that were blocked by "crazy fans" for several months. And the "illegitimate ancestor" of idolize, a fanatic in China, can be traced back to the beginning of the century when he chased Andy Lau to Yang Lijuan, whose family was ruined and the whole country was well known.

Like many recent incidents in which teachers organized students to "help", the so-called fans who made these crazy moves also have decent jobs in their daily lives and enough knowledge reserves to even teach and educate people, but they can never grasp the door of inner rationality.

"It won’t be like that again." In 2019, Yang Lijuan repented when interviewed by the media. Even if they have contributed to idols, they can be regarded as "stalking fan" but they will never be recognized as true "rice" by idols and other fans; Besides the ups and downs of personal mental state and the connivance of family environment, there are more reasons worth thinking about.

Ta is not stalking fan.Behind the professionalization of "Daipai" is an already formed industrial chain.

In recent hot news, the word "Daipai" is associated with the topic of "stalking fan".

"What is a thing? That is to say, fans spend money to hire some corresponding teams, and then shoot some unexposed (trips) or daily actions of stars. " According to Zhou Guiyi, a single group can sell thousands or even tens of thousands of amazing prices in the "black market" with a complete "return" process and a "nine-square grid" video or photo.

It seems that the "proxy auction" inspired by the "illegitimate" behavior has become a mature business in the industrial chain. However, what makes this business "out of the circle" is the condemnation from the crew and artists themselves to the whole society.

Artists "go to work" on the road, they shoot all the time without dead ends, and they never let go of immoral privacy perspectives; At the shooting scene of the crew, they even mobilized "wild" technologies such as cranes and excavators, risking their lives to grab the first shot of "Reuters" … …

From the leakage of artists’ places, flights and even private information, to the pervasive penetration of "substitute photographers", to the strong intervention of various "professional" equipment and the final "distribution" channel construction … … Such madness, after being directly linked to financial interests, will only increase like a scalper who is forbidden or can’t help being there forever. In addition to the spit or venting of artists, many companies or crews directly posted corresponding statements with official seals.

"If you send a letter, you show your attitude," lawyer Yue Shenshan said in a connection with Today’s Film Review. "Theoretically, they play a warning role, but whether they can achieve real results remains to be seen."

These statements, which are not legally binding, are only a kind of hope or extravagant hope in the face of strict business processes before the "stalking fan" or "substitute" is brought to justice with actual evidence. For many professional "substitute" teams transformed from "paparazzi", their shrewdness in evading the existing legal minefield is probably far better than the anger and protest of the damaged crew and artists.

No business, no harm. When the behavior of profit-seekers cannot be stopped by appropriate laws and regulations, it is probably the most effective to cut off the buying and selling intention at the source. However, it’s still too hard to give up, whether it’s a fanatical "stalking fan" or a simple "fan" or a "flow" artist team who wants to exchange "fake Reuters" for "real exposure" for various purposes.

Can you still "eat"?Give fanaticism a rational outlet.

When it comes to whether we should continue the "idolize", the old editor is at a loss — — After all, the tragedy in Yang Lijuan more than ten years ago didn’t give any warning to the growing "illegitimate" behavior and the "proxy auction" business driven by it.

Love is an impulse. The seemingly unreachable stars, the love of ordinary people for them, either out of appearance or out of talent, are inevitably fanatical in the early days. Pan An, a handsome man in the Western Jin Dynasty, is said to have been thrown all the way with various fruits by fanatical female fans. It is conceivable that such "love" will inevitably be "accidentally injured" … …

In addition to seeking medical advice in extreme cases, I’m afraid we still need good self-regulation and incentive transformation if we want to coexist peacefully with idolize’s fanaticism.At a meeting many years ago, Xiao Rui, a high school student, "chased" the singer in front of her.SaraMake a wish in front of you: I will host your new song conference. Many years later, Xiao Rui, the host of the postgraduate entrance examination in Communication University of China, ran the dream of "idolize" and came to Sara again as an exclusive reporter.

Although it is only an example, the "idolize" course that is moving forward towards the inner light is actually a history of young people who pursue and realize their beautiful dreams, conveying real warm love.

Under the question of "What’s it like to be stalking fan" in Zhihu, an anonymous netizen lamented when sharing his past experience of "stalking fan": Generally speaking, illegitimate students can only climb the wall much faster than ordinary fans.

The so-called "climbing the wall", that is, I like star A today and turn my head to like star B tomorrow, and it is very likely to continue the cycle. And such fickle fanaticism is nothing more than the materialized projection of narcissism — — Surrounded by the involuntary power of the "flow" economy, what is really important may only be to face up to and really love yourself.

When it comes to "domestic special effects", people usually think of ridicule, such as:

Why does Hua Qiangu use special effects to make buns?

Steamed buns are sold for one piece, and the special effects are only fifty cents!

Texiao steamed bun

However, this is somewhat unfair. Today, many Hollywood films have also found special effects produced by China’s team. At least in technology, "domestic special effects" are no longer far from the international advanced level.

Moreover, unlike TV dramas, which try their best to reduce the cost of special effects, some domestic blockbusters spend a lot of money and effort on audio-visual effects, and they also emphasize how their special effects are shocking and how to catch up with the world’s first-class. The released publicity is also dazzling enough to look after.

The film "Grand Prix" once advertised itself as "the special effects in other people’s films are also available in domestic films"

In the end, the audience’s word of mouth still ends in the street.

"It looks fake", "stiff", "like a page tour advertisement" and "a sense of plastic" are the comments they usually get, and the producers also hit back from time to time, saying that these comments are all based on prejudice against domestic films.

However, it is undeniable that, no matter from which country, the special effects of some movies are more fake than others. Where does this "fake" come from?

Over-reliance on a single technology

Almost all blockbusters judged as "fake" have a common problem: the whole film is piled with too many special effects of computer imaging technology (CGI).

For example, Battle of Midway, which was released at the end of 2019, is a rare epic war film, but it has a poor reputation among ordinary audiences who are ready to experience the sensory stimulation of the big screen. Many bad reviews have compared this film with Pearl Harbor in 2001, complaining about the war scenes in the film. "It’s like watching people play games! 」

Pearl Harbor, by contrast, has been released for almost 20 years, and its "real" war scene comes from more appropriate special effects production.

The visual effects for Pearl Harbor are produced by the industrial light and magic company, which is well known in the field of film and television special effects. In the face of Pearl Harbor, a film based on historical events, in order to reproduce historical moments on the screen, they found the blueprint of Oklahoma in this real battle and made an equal-scale model of warships and planes. The final scene is a perfect combination of physical model, computer special effects and real shot pictures.

Of course, McCabe got a bunch of modern boats to set off fireworks, and nothing was saved.

In "Battle of Midway", the fighters and warships in the war scenes are completely generated by computers:

Compared with the "indigenous method" special effects of comprehensive shooting, there are always some unavoidable injuries in the scenes made entirely by CGI.

The first is human intuition: characters generated entirely by CGI always deviate from the expectations of the human brain when they move. For example, clone soldiers in Star Wars will never March like real armies.

CGI special effects often violate the physical laws of the real world, even some recognized masterpieces are inevitable.

In "Lord of the Rings 3", Orlando Bloom slipped down from the mammoth who ran to the ground and overcame inertia to land firmly;

Terminator, a steel warrior weighing tons, floats like a doll thrown by a little girl:

This kind of distortion causes the virtual characters or objects to have no "sense of weight". The best comparative case is two fights in Black Panther.

One is a real hand-to-hand combat:

One is a special effect generated by full CGI:

Maybe the special effects team knew that the effect was not good, so they made the background extremely dark.

Another kind of distortion comes from the face of virtual characters, that is, the "horror valley effect" that CGI technology has not been able to break through so far-because people’s brains are particularly keen on recognizing faces, and the smallest differences will be very dazzling, which makes CGI-made faces look as strange as zombies, such as Superman in Justice League.

The light and shadow of CGI pictures are also easy to be overlooked. In the real world, there may be countless subtle and difficult interactions between the illumination received by an object and the natural environment background, people, animals and other objects, which is difficult to be restored by CGI.

The Alien series has always been a landmark classic of real-action special effects in the film history. From the alien egg to the eight-foot monster, the texture and light and shadow of all models are printed on the big screen.

The oversaturated color scheme is also a common "wrong" part of CGI special effects, and in order to pursue the ultimate stimulation of vision, the strong contrast color scheme of blue and yellow is becoming more and more popular in the later stage of today’s movies. This may be a bit abstract, just look at the pictures. The previous one is Jurassic World in 2015, and the latter one is from the old Jurassic Park:

In the high-definition era, CGI technology has fallen into a dilemma: the special effects defects in the film era can still be hidden in low-resolution images, and at the HFR resolution of 4K or even higher, insufficient details will make people find out to cut corners at a glance, but if the details are overdone, it is more like "playing games" visually, and this degree is difficult to grasp.

However, since there are so many shortcomings, why is CGI technology so popular today?

A visual feast of "cheap and good quality"

In a word, CGI technology is not only the cheapest, but also much cheaper than alternative means to achieve a large dose of visual impact on the screen.

Film was an art of optical illusion when it was born, and the appearance of film special effects was earlier than that of electronic computers. Early special effects can only be realized by simply using shooting and editing techniques, such as jumping and cutting, overprinting, using miniature models and props and costumes. Later, there were "photographic special effects", including chemical treatment of film, such as scaling, composition, double exposure, etc. Blue screen matting also belongs to this kind of special effects.

The actor who plays Godzilla puts on props and walks through the miniature city.

This kind of film and television special effect without CGI is now called practical effect, which is different from the "visual effects" presented by CGI technology in post-production. Of course, this distinction was only made after CGI technology was widely popularized in the 1990s.

Rough real-time special effects are very common. Most of the "five-hair special effects" in China’s childhood memories of 1980s and 1990s belong to real-life special effects. For example, the underwater Dragon Palace in Journey to the West was shot with a fish tank in front of the camera.

The Monkey King repeatedly pulled out a finger on the picture of changing into a dog and a bird, which is also a special effect realized by jumping scissors. In order to prevent the picture from being too abrupt, a puzzling firework was added to cover it up.

In the era when real-time special effects are in the mainstream, it often takes a lot of manpower, working hours and funds to let the audience see the magnificent scenes, so that people can’t see too many flaws. Once the production is not detailed enough, even at a glance, obvious "processing marks" can be found. At that time, "blockbusters" were rare and expensive, and they almost certainly came from famous artists.

The maturity of CGI significantly reduced the cost of special effects and pushed the cinema audio-visual into a new era. When this special effect is combined with the traditional special effect means, when it first appears in large numbers on the screen, people will not experience "falsehood", but it is "so realistic".

The children who watched Jurassic Park in the cinema are now middle-aged, but the impact at that time is still as clear as yesterday. "I don’t believe that dinosaur is a computer special effect now! 」

The model designer is making a dinosaur model in Jurassic Park.

The market demand makes CGI special effects specialized and industrialized rapidly, bringing together a large amount of funds and global creative talents to achieve better visual effects at lower cost, thus lowering the threshold of "blockbuster".

As a result, some films with poor ideas and production can also be decent in appearance by piling up CGI, which is expected to hit the box office record.

Special effects can’t help movies overtake corners.

However, the application of CGI in movies still belongs to artistic creation, and whether directors, actors and behind-the-scenes teams can be organically integrated is still the key to the Excellence of movies today.

Moreover, the new technology has completely changed the performance itself, which has brought higher challenges to the ability of directors and actors.

There are many movies about King Kong in Hollywood history, and most of the time they are just scary "monsters".

In 2005, Peter Jackson’s "King Kong" made the audience feel the same with this "monster" for the first time: with the help of motion capture technology, the special effects team accurately reproduced the "performance" of actor andy serkis, including the body and facial movements, under the fur of King Kong.

Relying on CGI special effects technology, King Kong’s "performance" is no longer a blunt action, but its emotions can also be interpreted by actors, from a pure monster to a role that can interact with the audience emotionally.

As for the "fake" defect of CGI, on the one hand, we can make up for it by increasing the investment in special effects production, on the other hand, excellent directors and actors can control the audience’s attention enough to make people unaware. When the audience is immersed in the film itself and gathers on the stories and characters, they will not notice whether the special effects as the background are flawed.

When you were traveling in the outer space of Gravity, how much of this shot do you think came from CGI?

The answer is revealed:

This principle can also explain why some special effects of "blockbusters" are so dazzling: there are too many single special effects piled up in the whole film, and the film itself tastes like chewing wax, and the performance is not good enough. The audience who can’t get into the plot can only stare at the special effects pictures on the screen.

When CGI is used as a tool to add points to a good story and an actor’s excellent performance, it is icing on the cake, but trying to stimulate the eye only by the "big scene" piled up by CGI can’t change the fate of a bad film.

Shanghai Fortress, which spent a lot of money on special effects, couldn’t sleep late at night, posted a video of special effects scenes on Weibo, and went straight to the soul for four consecutive questions. If you know this, you can have a good sleep.
