Chapter 2118: Cutout
"Okay, okay. Director Xie looked at the clear starry eyes of the man in front of him, and there was no hypocrisy, so he was a little more settled in his heart, and hurriedly prepared to adjust the order of the films.
Pushing the door into the relatively simple lounge, taking the mineral water handed by Park Xiuzhi, Zhao Yongqi drank it in one gulp, and then sat on the chair with a smile, as if he remembered something, and shook his head with a smile.
"Brother Qi, don't be angry, that's a sick brain. Xiao Baozi walked behind Zhao Yongqi, reached out and gently pinched his shoulder, and spoke softly to comfort.
Shaking his head with a smile, Zhao Yongqi said with some amusement: "How can you be angry with that kind of person, I just think it's funny." ”
"It's hilarious. Yang Mu put Zhao Yongqi's script on the coffee table, squinted at the phoenix and said: "If you want to use a cutout to play a big name, you don't have to say anything, and you dare to release your pigeon without discussion." This thing may really have a bad brain, otherwise how could it be so stupid. ”
"Haha, I think it's good. Cheng He squinted his eyes and lay on the chair, and said coldly: "It's just right, the circle still thinks that Xiao Qi has a good temper, and some people have already dared to kick their noses and faces." Taking advantage of this opportunity, I can just do it to those people to see, many things, not so simple. ”
"I couldn't agree more. Deng Chao didn't think about it, and said directly: "Although we are an underground copycat brand Xiaoqixi, we also want people to know that the more copycats we are, the easier it is to drink dead people." ”
"Hahaha......" A burst of laughter immediately erupted in the lounge, and the previous unhappiness gradually faded.
Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Yongqi said with a smile: "The current audience, in fact, is not very clear, what is background special effects, what is portrait cutout. If you are serious, any false image can be called a cutout, and it can also be called a special effect. It's just that what the audience dislikes the most is one of them at all - portrait cutout.
This kind of cutout is also very common. For example, Transformers, basically most of the shots are shot in the green studio. Otherwise, where would you get such a big robot to come out and fight? The production method is just to shoot the human shot first, and then paste the computer-generated special effects into it.
In the past, there was no such high technology in China, and this technology was very money-burning. At the end of a second alone, it may be tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars thrown in. The average crew can't afford this ultra-high special effects fee at all. So, the five-cent special effect appeared. And now, with the popularization of computer technology, this kind of special effect has begun to become more and more common. Then, some crews began to use their brains.
In order to be in a hurry, a crew has to shoot 70 episodes of TV in 150 days. You do the math, there will be an episode in the next two days, how can the leading actor mix up? However, the crew is 'smart' and divides the crew into 12345 or ABCDE, so that N multiple groups start filming at the same time. If the main actor is not there, either use a stand-in or use a portrait cutout.
The audience is not stupid. If you use a portrait cutout of more than ten or twenty seconds in 70 episodes of TV, in 2,800 minutes, it is estimated that few viewers will come to curse. But the problem is, if there are dozens or even hundreds of minutes of footage, all of which are being cut, then the audience doesn't curse? Moreover, those crews also think that they are very smart, and they can't do the special effects that burn money, and they must cut out the pictures in a hurry, so what should they do? Background blur! I think that by using this kind of lens that highlights the protagonist and makes the background blur, I can reduce the sense of incongruity between the two. But they don't want to think about it, if you do this kind of thing once, then you also talk about it, if you do it all day long, the audience who doesn't understand it, as long as they see this kind of blur, don't they know that you are picking? Sometimes I really feel that I am so stupid that I have nothing to say. ”
"Oba the frog, what exactly is a portrait cutout? We used to shoot fighting dragons in the green shed, and we also cut out pictures?"
"Yes, that kind is cutout, but the accurate name is background effect, but there is an essential difference in portrait cutout. Touching the little cutie's head, Zhao Yongqi said with a soft smile: "Just like the Transformers I said, everyone knows that there are not such big dragons in the world, even if they are made into models, they cannot be brought to life." Therefore, this background effect is for the TV effect, and it is completely virtualized using the computer. And there are generally three kinds of portrait cutouts that the audience dislikes.
The first is real-life portrait cutout. This kind of thing is the same as the stupid guy who wants me to do a one-man show today. It's that I finished shooting in the real scene, and then, he went to the green studio to shoot his clips later, and finally put his image into my lens, so the stupid lack who wasn't by my side in the first place, didn't he finish the rivalry with me?
The second is generally because actors only want to make money and don't want to contribute. For example, when he was going to shoot a desert scene in the summer, he felt it was too hot and stopped doing it. Then the director team had no choice but to think of a way. That is, get some people to go to the desert and take the empty shots, and then come back and put all the scenes that the guy finished filming in the green studio into the empty shots. And that's the time to complete the shoot again.
And the third is to use a stand-in. For example, in a certain scene, a stand-in is painted with blue dye from the neck up, including the hair, and then the stand-in crawls around in the mud puddle to complete the action that should be done by the main actor. After these are completed, the head of the blue dye part can be completely removed from the lens according to the color block principle. And the relaxed starring role, he only needs the makeup team to get him a passable dress, and then climb a few times in the green shed. OK, put his head straight to the head that the stand-in removed. Well, it's easy again.
These three are the cutouts that the audience is disgusted by nature. And the rest, basically, is for the needs of the plot, or the part that must be done by special effects. For example, if an important character is blown apart, you can't really kill people, right? For another example, we have to shoot tens of thousands of people fighting here, but there are not so many group performances, so what should we do? For example, if you are bitten by a tiger in a certain scene, you can't really get a tiger, right? It was also a stand-in in a blue suit, grabbing my arm with his hand, and then shaking it like a bite, and he could drag me if he really needed to. In the end, the figure of the tiger stand-in was P off and changed to a tiger with computer special effects, and this is done. It's like this, in fact, it's normal to finish, but some viewers don't understand it very well, so they will feel how bad it is when they hear the cutout.
Seriously, it's not that the audience is uneducated and knowledgeable, it's mainly interlaced like a mountain. It's like, I don't know how the staff in the bank do it. I don't understand how people are operated on in the hospital. Although I have been to banks and hospitals, and I have seen them, I still don't understand it, and it has nothing to do with knowledge or anything like that. After all, not everyone is an all-knowing and all-powerful God, right?"
