Chapter 262: Dumbfounded (3/6)
"Embroidered Spring Knife" has a good reputation.
Although Lu Xiaoran's Weibo did not reach the top of the hot search, it was very happy:
The comment with the highest likes: "Although it is "Telling the Story of the Poor Jinyiwei Himself", but after reading it, my attention was focused on Ding Xiu: the first time he appeared, he teased his junior brother and suggested that he sell his ass, said in front of Zhao Gonggong that his junior brother was his dear and beloved, lived a life of eating and sleeping and playing with his junior brother every day, ripped off his junior brother's sister's pants and specially told his junior brother that I actually didn't touch her, and finally went all the way to help his junior brother take revenge... What the hell does he mean?"
Then the following is neatly aligned:
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?"
Lu Xiaoran replied: "This character is very special, because he is the only Jianghu person in "Embroidered Spring Knife", and a ronin outside the system. It's hard to measure this person morally or logically. He's a bad guy, but there's something not to do. Torturing the third brother was like a game for him, and he pestered the third brother because he was very lonely, so in the end, before the third brother died, he suddenly said: 'From now on, I am the only one left. ’”
"By the way, this character will have a separate movie, called "The Biography of Ding Xiu", which will tell the character completely, and when the time comes, you will know. ”
Lu Xiaoran reprinted the film review of Guangmu Mu Haifeng by the way: Ding Xiu, the words are very run, and the number is a money layman. "He is my sibling, my closest flesh and blood, let me kill him, I have to add money." "Famous for the Ming River.
As for the protagonist Deng Chao...
I'm sorry, under the backdrop of Lu Xiaoran, few people discuss him...
Deng Chao... I am very satisfied, according to the current word-of-mouth and box office trend, 300 million is certain!
has already broken his movie box office record, not to mention, the producer and director have told him that all the series after that will revolve around Shen Lian...
He is to "Daming Jianghu", which is equivalent to Downey to "Marvel Universe"...
But there are still not many hot searches on Weibo...
It's really not that the orange marketing team is not strong, it's really everyone scolding "Little Times", and it's really not effective.
Dead grass can't star, so I simply arranged an interview with Director Lu...
……
Director Lu is busy with "Gravity"...
The film's simulation of space lighting needs to be more efficient and accurate than ever before...
It's all about post-CG, how do actors perform?
Imagine?
In addition, the lighting of the actors' performances is usually different from the post-CG production, and if the lighting is not right, the combined effect will look unnatural, which requires finding a way to match the real-life lighting and the CG ambient lighting.
The props team has made a light box!
The light box looks like a hollow box, about 6 meters high and 3 meters wide.
The inner wall consists of 196 LED panels, each with a size of 0.6×0.6 meters, and a total of 4,096 LED lights on each panel.
The brightness and color of the LED lights of the light box are controlled by the computer, and its function is to assist the camera in lighting.
Of course, the panel can display images such as space and the inner cabin of a spaceship, so the actors do not need to face the green screen when performing in the light box, and they are more immersive.
For example, when filming Tangtang descending to the space station, she could see that the space station was getting closer and closer to her in the light box, and Lu Xiaoran would ask her to look at something on a certain screen or ask her to reach out and grab a doorknob, although there was no doorknob on the shooting site, at least the actor could see what it looked like.
Of course, the picture displayed on the inner wall of the light box is still relatively rough, and the live monitor can see the fusion of the actors and the space background, and when the film is in post-production, all the backgrounds will be rendered through post-CG, and the audience will look more realistic, more like in space or in a space capsule.
It may seem simple, but there are two sides to everything.
For post-production, keying all of these LED screens is much more troublesome than keying on a green screen.
Anyway, the cycle is enough, and this movie will not be released until 2015!
On the first day Liao Fu joined the group, it was very rare to see Lu Xiaoran arguing with the photographer...
I'm going to shoot that long shot later.
In fact, when you're using long shots in a shoot, you have to take into account all the possible variables, including how the actors perform, how the lighting is done, how the camera moves, and how it all fits together in post.
This is a real shot.
"Gravity" relies on post-CG...
Simulate lighting in space, including light on a spaceship, light on an actor's face, and a background light in the universe, and then combine that with the actors' performances in post-production.
In a continuous long shot, showing panoramas, close-ups, and weightless action scenes one after another, it is necessary to find a solution that can show various plots at the same time in a single shot, which is definitely the most difficult part.
So it's really, really hard to combine zero gravity with a long lens.
But Lu Xiaoran wants to try!
Then it can only be done little by little, Emmanuel Lubezki and the special effects team are about to be tortured by Lu Xiaoran and go crazy...
The whole filming process was not smooth, several times were called off, and any small negligence in the shooting would cause everyone's efforts to be in vain, and the length of the shot and the complex effects to be shown determined that everyone from the actors to the technical department would keep making mistakes.
Sensoryly, the shot needs to be flawless and everything needs to be taken care of.
That was until Alfonso Cuarón proposed to purchase the IRIS system, a motion camera with seven axes of free axialism, capable of tracking up to 10.8 meters, moving at a speed of 4 meters per second, and a stationary distance of 0.08 millimeters.
The actor is fixed to a shelf, and IRIS controls the movement of the camera, creating the illusion that the actor is tumbling in space.
It may not be very accurate, but to describe it this way, it is that during the shooting, the actor is fixed, and then he watches the camera smash against him...
This stuff makes it a lot easier to shoot.
It's a bit expensive, this set of operating systems, cameras, and robotic arms are added to a piece of 18 million euros...
(To write this paragraph, I watched "Gravity" for two or three hours behind the scenes)
……
On August 13th, Lu Xiaoran was told that he was going to accept a 'Weibo movie interview' at the filming site...
I really want to refuse, but "Embroidered Spring Knife" is indeed a movie that he values very much.
The interview team that Tangtang helped to receive: "This is the filming location of "Gravity"..."
"Of course you can shoot it, anyway, the whole scene is not the same as the post-production at all!"
"The director should be talking to the producer about shooting..."
"They rely on translators to communicate. ”
Liao Fu came over and said hello to the interview team, and then he was pulled to ask about the filming of "Gravity".
"This shooting is really an unprecedented experience, Director Lu is a great man!"
“… When the movie comes out, you'll know what I mean!"
A few people from 'Weibo Movie' walked over and happened to see Lu Xiaoran discussing filming with Alfonso Cuarón, which is not the point, the point is that they saw the huge light box used for filming...
“… What is this?"
