Chapter 8 CG Head Swapping

If Lu Lin doesn't speak, the crew won't be able to start work. The staff gathered in twos and threes to discuss in a low voice what had just happened. After all, for these behind-the-scenes people, this is an errand to support their families. A novice director who can't control the scene when he encounters a weak chicken point, he doesn't work hard, and all kinds of reports are common.

But for those actors who have not yet made their mark, the director is not something they can criticize casually. They also gathered together, drinking water, nourishing spirits, and none of them talked nonsense.

It's just that Qiao Dashan is not a person who can calm down, seeing Lu Lin sitting on the director's chair and closing his eyes and pondering, but he was more anxious than Lu Lin, restless, and muttered: "I don't know if the director can come up with it!"

The old man Liu Xun on the side has been wearing the white monk's robe in the play these days, dressed as a monk, Gao Sen said uncertainly: "When Director Xu Ke made films, there were always amazing moves, so he was called a ghost talent. I don't think Director Lu is very old, and his demeanor is not weaker than Director Xu back then!"

Qiao Dashan looked sideways when he heard this, and he was stunned with an "ah", and he didn't know how to answer.

However, he said that Wu Jing drove away the people near Lu Lin, sat down on a chair on the side, and said, "Senior brother, are our requirements a bit high! It is okay for actors to gain weight and lose weight to play themselves in different periods, and it is okay to play young and old through makeup." But if you let a six-year-old play your two-year-old self, the whole world doesn't do that, right?"

Lu Lin was moved when he heard this, he just considered and weighed it from a technical point of view, but he didn't want to find other films as a reference. Hearing Wu Jing say this, he was busy using the super microscopic computer in his brain to search for the Hollywood blockbusters he had watched to see if there were any precedents to follow. After all, they played to the extreme in special effects, and in order to create a sense of realism in watching the movie, they were really willing to invest.

The super microscopic computer retrieved it in Lu Lin's mind by itself, but he opened his eyes and smiled, remembering that when his senior brother Wu Jing was filming "Wolf Warrior 2", in order to create a sense of reality, he jumped 26 times in one shot of the sea jumping shot, and was almost swept away by the ocean current.

Just as he was about to speak, the super microcomputer had prompted that a video clip had been retrieved for reference.

Wu Jing saw that Lu Lin wanted to speak and stopped, and a fire broke out in the flat ground, "It's not that you and I are still secretive, what can't you say?"

Lu Lin was calm and relaxed, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I remember that you are also a person who pays attention to realism and details in filming, why don't you stand on my side this time?"

Wu Jing glared and said: "Can that be the same? For the sake of realism, you can really fight, you can punch to the flesh, let's work hard and overcome it." I really can't think of how to get that one of you! If you don't have an idea, let's shoot according to the number of ways in the past, don't stop here! It's all money!"

Lu Lin laughed and said, "Okay, don't stop, get up and start work!"

Wu Jingle jumped up, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Come, come, get up and start work!" The first shot of the second scene of "The Return of the Great Sage" is ready to start filming!"

The young woman holding the child looked at her distant cousin Chen Fuliang, "Uncle, then I'll go over?"

Chen Fuliang said happily: "Don't go over quickly, wait until the filming is over, go to the finance to receive the salary, and no one will come back." ”

"Hey!" the young woman replied, carrying the child to the center of the set, looking at the young director who had raised an objection just now.

Unexpectedly, Lu Lin said, "That one called Lu Haoran over!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a while, and some even said in their hearts: "Is this so profound? Why can't I understand him!"

Lu Lin hurriedly explained: "Two children, both shoot!"

Everyone was even more confused, Lu Lin had no choice but to explain two sentences. Who made him a little director, replaced by Wang Jiawei, let me explain to you?

According to legend, when Zhao Benshan was filming "The Grandmaster", he didn't know who he was playing, saying that he thought it was Zhang Ziyi's father, but later found out that it was not at all.

"That's the case, senior brother, I plan to let this kid be Lu Haoran's stand-in, and use his body and the picture on his face to repair it, using Lu Haoran's!" Although the original intention was to tell everyone, it was said to Wu Jing.

"Hey, wouldn't this be too fake!" Wu Jing thought that Lu Lin was going to use editing techniques, and the child's body and face would not appear in the same shot, so it would be better to let the two-year-old child play it.

Lu Lin said: "It can't be fake, because when I plan to do special effects, I will use CG head swapping to take over a thin version of Lu Haoran's avatar ......!"

Everyone at the scene was stunned, they were only at the level of watching "Avatar" and "2012" for special effects blockbusters. And the production process behind these special effects blockbusters is completely unknown.

Of course, what Lu Lin said is not imaginary, but someone has indeed used it, that is, the Marvel blockbuster American Team 1. The biggest attraction of the behind-the-scenes technology of the film is the comparison of the faces and body types of the American team before and after becoming super soldiers.

The huge change in the body of the same film and the same character has many precedents in the history of cinema, and it has become a model of dedication.

However, if the actors of the American team first lose weight into a bean sprout for the role, and then work out to become a super soldier, if they want to not harm their health, it will take at least half a year. This kind of arrangement can't afford to wait for either Marvel or the actor's schedule.

Of course, there is also a conventional method, which is to use different actors to create the American team before and after. But there will definitely be differences in performance, and it will also make the audience feel that there are minor flaws.

As a result, the crew had no other choice to use CG technology to achieve the effect of slimming down the actors in the play.

There are two main methods, one is based on a specific algorithm to retouch the image of the actor himself. But the main use is to use "thin substitution" and CG head swapping to create a weak and skinny Evans version of the American team.

The main method is to shoot "thin down" with the other actors in the scene, and shoot once in an empty scene to provide consistent lighting parameters for the CG special effects head change: Evans shoots once in front of a green screen. It also needs to "slim down" Evans himself's face, and use CG head replacement to make the American team before the transformation in the film weak and thin, which is endearing.

Lu Lin didn't have to explain so much to them, he just arranged for all members of the crew to build green cloths, dim the lights, and put on props. ordered the young woman to hand over the child to the male and female group performers who played Jiang Liuer's parents.

It is worth mentioning that the two parents who play Jiang Liuer are both handsome men and beauties with super good looks. After all, the "royal brother" is the face of the team, if his parents' appearance is too low, it will be unreasonable.

Coincidentally, it was Yingbao Zhao Liying, who played Jiang Liuer's mother, who later shined, I really don't know how Wu Jing recruited this legendary figure from a dragon set to a ratings queen.
