Chapter 685 The next industry to be disrupted?
Lin You wavered in his heart for a while and decided to use his past experience to deal with this matter, that is:
Undecided when things happen——
Just pretend it didn't happen to you.
See you next month.
Maybe by next month, the matter will be resolved naturally.
He put the matter behind him without any pressure, and continued the development work of "Chang'an" with Xiaomeng, a child laborer.
At the same time, players were bewildered to see that the two movies "Assassin's League" and "John Wick" have really begun to promote!
Yunmeng did not spend too much money on online promotion. Yunmeng did not do any of the popular celebrity interviews, movie highlights, movie self-media promotion, etc. in the past.
The reason is simple: strictly speaking, these two movies are of the same nature as all-CG movies.
Of course, this is the technology of the next era, and it may be called a "full virtual reality movie".
In this movie, the actors are all NPCs that already exist in the game. If you interview them, wouldn’t that increase your workload?
As for the movie highlights...the technical background highlights are nothing fancy.
"However, if you don't need too complicated acting skills and just need to be responsible for the roles of handsome men and beautiful women that are eye-catching, then it shouldn't be difficult for virtual characters to do the job."
"With Yunmeng's astonishing development speed, if Lin You intends to subvert the current film production model, then it is likely that within half a year, the film and television industry will undergo earth-shaking changes."
It is better to save the money and convert it into ticket reimbursement to subsidize the movie fans.
They opened the ticket booking software with the mentality of seeking confirmation and looked for the movie to be released on December 23.
But if it is planned to be released in reality and really commercialized, then many things will have to be messed up.
This... with Yunmeng's current influence on the Internet, it's really not necessary.
When netizens saw it, they didn't quite believe it at first, thinking that they got it done after watching "Metropolitan News".
Venues and props are 80% determined by robbing.
Of course, in their own words, everything will be returned after use, so it is clearly "borrowed".

While they were discussing, the players had already shifted their attention to what they were supposed to be doing.
In the end, everyone had no choice but to accept the reality: these are just preludes, and no one can find the murderer until the day the event begins.
[Virtual reality movies] are similar in nature to [CG movies], but the effects are completely different.
They have other things to be busy with——
The characters they are so familiar with in the virtual world are now printed on posters like real celebrities in reality, and they look completely out of place.
The discussion about virtual reality movies lasted all day.
One piece of ready evidence is that it is not a "movie surrounding" the game, but a "secondary movie" containing a large amount of original content - "Mr. and Mrs. Wick", which is already in the final stage.
But what annoys everyone is that they can only see the traces left by the murderer, but not the murderer himself.
This morning, players who passed by the movie theater at work noticed that large posters of "Assassin's League" and "John Wick" appeared in very eye-catching positions outside the theater.
This sudden surprise made them couldn't help but take out their mobile phones, snap a series of photos, and then quickly post them online to share this unexpected good news with everyone.
It can really completely get rid of the dependence on real movie stars, and even many behind-the-scenes workers can be omitted.
"No matter how handsome or beautiful an actor is, can he still look better than an artificially created virtual character?"
The shooting tools are included with the system.
"Actors with superb acting skills also don't need to worry. I believe that the cost of producing sophisticated, layered, and in-depth performances for virtual characters may be higher than finding actors."
"Workers behind the scenes of the movie don't need to worry. Your experience is irreplaceable. Even in the virtual world, you can continue to exert value. Even with advanced technical support, your work may be easier."
This prediction soon came true.
Under this circumstance, the production costs of these two movies must be astonishingly low.
As a result, I actually saw "League of Assassins"!
Looking back to December 24, "John Wick" is also on the list!
In the end, many practitioners in the film and television industry reluctantly reached a consensus: wait.
"So young actors, if you want to develop in this industry for a long time and not be replaced by virtual characters, then studying your acting skills may be the only way out."
The last step is online media promotion.
So this movie will probably only be released in the virtual world.
Compared to the two films produced by Yunmeng, "Assassin's League" and "John Wick", when "The Wickers" is released, that will truly subvert the concept of the film and television industry!
It's just a pity that "Mr. and Mrs. Wick" is unlikely to be released in reality.
Prey that were frightened away inexplicably, shrubs that suddenly swayed even though there was no wind, the sound of branches being trampled and broken not far away, and even recently dead prey!
If only one or two people say it, then it may be an illusion, an accident, a liar, etc.
Many players confirmed that they saw traces of other hunters:
If there is no charge for the entire journey, it would be easy to say that everyone is generating electricity for love.
All participating players have no salary, are obliged to participate, and generate electricity for love.
Even after discovering these clues and immediately inviting friends over to search, the murderer could not be found.
Waiting for the release of "League of Assassins" to see if the movie shot by technicians adjusting virtual characters can really achieve the effect of real-life movies.
After all, players don't care much about the impact on the film and television industry. They just took a few glances to make sure that this incident will not affect their future viewing of movies, and may even be beneficial, and then they don't care too much.
Nonetheless, as long as the quality of this movie passes the standard and it serves as a "model", the film and television industry will definitely realize the amazing potential of [virtual world] in film production.
They are still reluctant to believe that virtual characters can express the high complexity of movie characters.
…
The production team of this movie are all gamers.
But his prediction is indeed not unreasonable.
From the current point of view, the impact on the film and television industry will not be too strong, because the cost of these two movies is low because those costs have been invested in the production of the games, and the movies are just "peripheral" products.
But as time goes by, Yunmeng's database becomes more and more abundant, and this cost will inevitably continue to decrease.
But as many people say, that’s another story!
But by that time, the first ones to bear the blow will not be actors and stars, but most likely the major film and television cities...
Of course, this is still just speculation as there are no direct witnesses.
Moreover, Shen Ping also felt that there was no need to spend this part of the money. Once the offline layout was completed, it could be used for free.
With more and more evidence, players soon realized: the mysterious hunter who caused the serial murders in the hunting grounds has appeared again!
Maybe in the future, the most cost-effective way to make movies will be made in the virtual world?
——Of course, the premise is that Yunmeng is willing to provide this permission to the producer.
Nie Guangyao's long comment obviously contains a lot of subjective consciousness, and its main purpose is to advise young actors in the industry to improve their acting skills.
The biggest reaction to this was not the players, but the major film media.
If you want to make a new movie from scratch, the production of scenes, characters, and special effects will also cost a lot of money.
Because its production team is all mobile, the various copyright relationships are also messy - for the background music alone, there are 8 composers involved.
In "Hunter: Call of the Wild", some players met other hunters in their personal world!
"Film Weekly" senior reporter Nie Guangyao immediately forwarded the news and made a long comment——
If I change to another theater, these two movies will be there too!
This is a real deal, Yunmeng really wants to screen "Assassin's League" and "John Wick" in real movie theaters.
The current direct cost of investment is: 0.
Later, videos were uploaded, and everyone saw strange footprints by the lake, a skeleton left by someone eating by the fire, huge wounds on the moose caused by cold weapons, and a dying brown bear lying in a pool of blood...
Just like over at Dinosaur Island, mobile drilling platforms are still drilling holes day and night.
But nothing else happened except that the frequency and intensity of earthquakes increased as time went by.
So players, like film and television practitioners, fell into waiting together, waiting for the special moment on December 23rd.
Wait, it's Sunday night.
Chapter completed!
