Looking at the concise and clear building in front of me, the completely white exterior wall surrounds the slightly depressed courtyard in winter. The three-story "concave"-shaped building is regular, without any fancy or special design. It doesn't seem to be anything special. If someone tells Hugo that this is a nursing home or an old hospital decades ago, he is also willing to believe it.
After looking around several times, Hugo didn’t find any doorplates or signs. It seemed that it was just an ordinary small courtyard. He could not even find any signs or words of "Industrial Light & Magic", which made people strongly suspect this place. Is it the destination?
Although computer visual effects have been developed for nearly two decades, they have not fully matured until now, and have begun to take the "future water world" as the dividing line to a higher level. For now, Industrial Light and Magic is in the industry. At best, it can only be regarded as a surprise, rather than the overlord who can dominate half the sky in Hollywood, so the office building is still not reborn, which is excusable; but looking at such a low-key building in front of him, Hugo could not help but sigh, so-called This is probably what the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger mean.
But Allen, who walked towards him, answered Hugo's doubts: They did not find the wrong place.
Allen and a man with a big beard and a teddy bear walked over with a smile, and you could see the relaxed smile on Allen’s face from a distance, "I finally waited for you, I’m still there. I wonder if you are trapped in Los Angeles by the paparazzi." Allen stepped forward and greeted Rick and the others one by one, and then shook Hugo's hand and said with a face, "Tell you, you can. Looking forward to today’s surprise, this is really a place where a miracle was born."
It can be seen from the eyes that were shining with excitement, Alan can't wait to show off.
"This is John Knoll(.), he is working with Tom Cruise on'Mission Impossible'. I watched some special effects in the trailer yesterday..." Allen paused here, and then let out a sound. Exclaimed, "Wow!" In addition, no language is needed to express his inner surging.
This Allen makes people get close, just like all boys get Transformers toys when they are young, with uncontrollable excitement. Standing aside, John crossed his hands somewhat restrained and stood beside him. Hearing Alan’s compliment, he was not only uncomfortable, but shyly moved his eyes away, turning his head to look at the desolate scenery next to him. Obviously He is not accustomed to such a social occasion.
However, John only paused for a while, and then turned around, "It's nice to meet you. Welcome to Industrial Light & Magic. I hope you can enjoy a pleasant journey today."
Hugo took John’s outstretched right hand and smiled and said, "I hope we don’t interfere with everyone’s work." John seems to be only in his early thirties. He should be not much different from Hugo’s age. He was sent out as a representative to receive Hugo and others, probably because he was professional enough, and at the same time possessed a certain degree of communication skills, so that he would not neglect the guests.
What Hugo didn't know was that the middle-aged man who looked a little stiff and shy in front of him, John Knoll, and his brother Thomas Knoll (.) were the original developers of image processing software.
"No, absolutely not. In fact, George was very happy when he heard that you were coming. He is now answering James' call in the office, uh, I mean, a work call, so there is no way to come down to meet you." John His voice is still a little tight, but you can feel the sincerity in his eyes.
James? Who is George Lucas calling? The first thing that came to Hugo's mind was James Cameron, and then "Titanic"-the special effects technology of this work was also completed by Industrial Light and Magic. I just don't know whether Hugo's guess is accurate.
"I refuse to talk to George here, because these things are not familiar to me, and I don't want to look like an idiot in front of George." Hugo's slightly ridiculous words made Alan laugh, and John also appeared Some could not help but laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. "I think I am now ready to experience the shock of visual effects. If possible, please lead the way."
After receiving Hugo's reminder, John realized that they were still standing at the gate, it was really impolite, so he quickly stepped aside and led the way.
"I didn't expect you to show up today." Hugo looked at Alan who was walking side by side with him, and said actively. Hugo originally thought that it would be very rare for Allen to arrive at the crew to visit the set, and the production of computer special effects was too boring. He didn't expect Allen to appear as well, which really made Hugo impressive.
Allen seemed to be in a very good mood, and the corners of his mouth picked up slightly. "Watching these behind-the-scenes productions is a bit boring, but it is indeed very interesting. I now understand why you want to see the effects produced by special effects. Whether there is a picture in there is really too big a gap."
Hugo laughed, "This shows that we are not suitable for the job of special effects design, because imagination is too scarce."
Hugo's words made Allen chuckle too, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes." It can be seen that Allen is indeed in a good mood today.
When you walk into the office building, you can immediately feel the difference. Huge one-to-one posters are hung on both sides of the corridor. Above them are the characters once designed by Industrial Light and Magic, including epoch-making visual effects. Master Yoda in "Star Wars", fantasy alien images in "Abyss", lifelike dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" and so on. It is hard to imagine that these real characters are all made with computer technology.
There are no desks or office equipment in the lobby on the first floor, but messy tools and materials are piled up everywhere. Among them, you can see half-made black samurai armor, a dinosaur tail and a half-made cruise ship, and Some messy things were scattered everywhere on the first floor, with some discarded drawings in between.
It seems that this should be the place for the staff to personally experiment with the effect of the role, the connection point between the virtual and the reality. They realize their imagination here, and then trigger more imagination by analogy, and then invest in the computer. Although the role of the movie is to realize the imagination of human beings, the so-called unconstrained nature must be supported by facts. This test field plays such a role.
Hugo's gaze is constantly searching among the messy objects. It seems that the most aliens among these things are too many to count. Hugo can't help but guess whether they are "Men in Black". "Conceive the idea-after all, there are so many aliens in this work. Then I saw all kinds of strangely shaped spaceships, which made Hugo really curious, and wanted to step forward and take a closer look.
But John’s steps did not stop. When he stepped on the stairs, he noticed Hugo’s gaze of exploring everywhere, “Sorry, if you are interested in these, you can study it slowly when you come down later. ."
Hugo retracted his sight and quickly followed, "Of course, there is still time for a while." The main task at present is to watch the special effects of "Independence Day". After all, the staff are waiting for Hugo.
"Unexpectedly, you are really interested in these." John looked at Hugo with a look of excitement in his eyes, and said in surprise.
"Accurately speaking, it should be curiosity." Hugo said with a smile, "This is a field that I am completely unfamiliar with, so I always admire you very much. You can turn the endless fantasy in your mind into reality, and this is also One of the greatest charms of the movie, isn't it?" Industrial Light & Magic is an important puzzle that makes those dreams come true.
"This is also an important reason why the movie is so attractive." Allen's voice came in from the side, "show all the intricate things in our minds through pictures, sounds and performances, and then affect more people. "
Hugo looked at Allen in amazement. He didn't expect that Allen had such an understanding of the movie.
After walking up to the second floor, the scope of vision became narrow, because the spacious space in front of you was divided into working rooms, but the working rooms here are different from ordinary white-collar offices. Every working room here is huge and spacious. His desk can even accommodate two people lying down side by side. There is a computer on one side of the desk. Hugo had no idea that the computer now is so advanced. Although it is much larger than he thought, it is processed at high speed. The memory can only be achieved by a processor that takes up a huge amount of space.
There are all kinds of things on the desktop, including design drawings, toys, crayons, plasticine, and paints...Everyone has different things on the desktop, with distinct personal characteristics~www.novelhall .com~ Before Hugo could sigh "the casual style of the design studio", he saw a man walking past in shorts and plastic slippers, his eyes were caught by pizza boxes, beer bottles and potato chips. Occupied by the bag, it turns out that this is an otaku's world, which is like a dormitory where countless otakus have moved together—that is, a paradise for technical otakus!
John seemed a little embarrassed, and then tentatively pulled his wrinkled light blue shirt, "Sorry, we are used to it casually here."
Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. He couldn't say "This is not too different from what I imagined." It's too rude, so he hesitated, "It looks like we have broken into the earth, maybe we can solve it. Two buttons are a good choice."
Hugo compares themselves to aliens, and this situation is the normal state of the earth. This is the world of otaku, and these outsiders naturally need to go to the countryside and follow the customs. Hugo's words made John stunned, and then the whole person relaxed.
At this moment, Allen standing next to him said, "I hope that shoes and socks are not required to be taken off here..." Needless to say, everyone understands that the "scent" of men is not so easy to deal with. All the people in the group chuckled at once.
