"That's the most advanced motion capture technology available today. Zhou Jingqi, a teacher at the Kyoto Film Academy, looked at the staff in charge of demonstrating the technology in front of him, and used his hand with a motion capture device to make various hand movements.

He told the students around him: "This technology was first applied in the aviation and military fields. Later, Hollywood special effects companies used it in film shooting. ”

Speaking of this, he was a little excited and continued: "The system we see now is the first motion capture system in Huaxia. Actors can put a lot of sensors on themselves, and then perform various actions according to the needs of the plot. ”

He pointed to the computer screen on one side and added, "These sensors can capture all his subtle movements, and after the device transmits them to the computer, we can simulate the actor's movements in real time." Then, on top of these actions, special effects of various muscles, skin and hair are added. Every movement and expression of an actor can be transformed into the movements and expressions of a monkey or a monster in this way. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Jingqi took off the sensor in his hand and led the students to an empty studio next to him.

In front of the pitch-black set, a man in a leotard with various sensors plastered all over his body makes various movements in the warm lighting.

Three special cameras are placed around him to ensure a 360-degree capture of the man's movements.

Peng Yichen and a dozen other students followed Zhou Jingqi and walked to a computer.

Zhou Jingqi sat down in a chair and clicked a few times with the mouse, showing an image of a moving animated character.

And all the movements of this animated character are exactly the same as those of the man in front of the black set.

Zhou Jingqi said: "Our current technology is still a lot different from Hollywood, mainly in terms of the rendering and motion calculation of pictures such as muscles, skin, and hair attached to the action surface, and Huaxia's film companies and special effects companies are rarely willing to spend a lot of money to build a large database." This kind of technology relies on a lot of investment and accumulation, and the investment from the first to the tenth film using these rendered pictures will be very large. But from the first one, the investment in special effects can be greatly reduced. It's a pity that domestic film companies are obviously not willing to invest in the first to tenth films......"

From the day after returning to Kyoto, Peng Yichen entered the Kyoto Film Academy and re-studied directing and acting.

The reason why he did not enter the Huaxia Drama Academy was because he learned that the Kyoto Film Academy introduced a series of advanced Hollywood shooting technologies last year, which can provide graduate students in the directing department with the opportunity to get in touch with these latest technologies.

He plans to shoot big-budget commercial blockbusters in the future, so advanced shooting technology and special effects technology are things that must be understood and mastered.

Therefore, he cherishes this opportunity to learn more about these film shooting methods that he has never been exposed to before and the performance methods he wants to correspond to.

……

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of March.

In mid-March, the list of nominees for this year's Yanhuang Film Festival was announced.

As predicted by the media, although "Black Gold" won a big victory at the Venice Film Festival, the Yanhuang Film Festival still avoided the film and finally only won a nomination for Best Co-Production.

This award for Best Co-production is a new award at the 2007 Yanhuang Film Festival, which is dedicated to films co-produced in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other foreign regions.

Do not enter the main competition unit at all.

That is, this award will not appear at the awards gala at all.

It will only be announced in the official journal of the festival after the festival closes.

And "Beautiful Life" is another treatment.

The film was nominated for Best Art Design, Best Score, Best Cinematography, Best Score, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Supporting Actor (Wang Qing), Best Actor, Best Director, Best Film, and Best Newcomer, with a total of 11 nominations.

This number of nominations equals the record for the most nominations in the history of the festival.

The last film to receive 11 nominations was "The Founding Ceremony," which was produced by Kyoto Film Studios in collaboration with three other film studios 16 years ago.

That movie can be said to be a pinnacle of the main theme film in China, and no Chinese film has dared to say that it can surpass the influence of that movie.

And "Beautiful Life", a small-budget film, was able to receive the same number of nominations as this movie, which shows that the Yanhuang Film Festival jury highly recognizes this film.

What fans are talking about is that if Peng Yichen can win the best actor and best director this time, then he can break the other two records of the Yanhuang Film Festival.

In 1988, the 31-year-old "young director" Chen Guozhong won the best director at the Yanhuang Film Festival with "Yellow Earth", and he was the holder of the record of the youngest best director at the film festival.

In 1996, 25-year-old Jiang Wen won the Best Actor at the Yanhuang Film Festival with a film "Just Alive", and he is the holder of the record for the youngest actor at the film festival.

Now Chen Guozhong and Jiang Wen have gradually grown into veritable top bosses in the Chinese film industry.

Could it be that Peng Yichen will also follow in their footsteps and become the leader of the new generation of Chinese films?

This is also a topic that all fans in China are most concerned about in recent times.

But the prospect of Peng Yichen's award is not promising.

The nominees for the best director of this film festival are Li An of "City of Love", Zhang Xingping of "Youth Dream Song", Zheng Xiaolong of "Spring and Autumn of a Small Family", and finally Peng Yichen.

The nominees for Best Actor, in addition to Peng Yichen, also include Liang Chaowei, Zhou Yunfa, and Wang Ziwen.

These competitors are all directors and actors who have been famous for many years, and some have even won the best director and best actor at the Yanhuang Film Festival two or three times.

It is too difficult for Peng Yichen to stand out from them.

In addition, the Yanhuang Film Festival has always been a traditional and conservative image, and some people even say that the judges of the festival usually award awards awards to older nominees.

Therefore, there are also many media who think that Peng Yichen may have to wait a few years if he wants to win these important awards this time.

In any case, at this year's Yanhuang Film Festival, Peng Yichen will definitely be the protagonist of all eyes, but whether he can become the final 'big winner' is not necessarily.

The most disappointing thing for fans is that Peng Yichen, who has been 'in seclusion' for half a year, still has no signs of showing up at this time.

It seems that he doesn't have much interest in the things of the film industry anymore.

You must know that in the past half a year or so, Peng Yichen, who has always been known for "fast shooting and many high-quality products", has not released a new movie.

The only one released "Shocking Black Gold" was filmed by him a year ago.

And according to the paparazzi, he entered the Kyoto Film Academy for further study.

It seems that there is still no plan to shoot any movies, which makes his fans very worried about whether they will not see Peng Yichen's movies for a while in the future.

At this moment, the former Chen Jing Studio, now Chen Jing Film Company, suddenly announced on the official website that in the second half of this year, it will cooperate with Chang'an Film Studio to shoot a TV series, with an investment of no less than 80 million in this TV series. It will show a panoramic view of the confrontation and confrontation between underground workers and Japanese invaders in the field of intelligence during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression......

Of course, the most important thing is that the director and screenwriter of this TV series is Peng Yichen, who has disappeared for more than half a year.

For a while, fans and the media all exploded.

Disappeared for so long, and as soon as you came back, you made a TV series? Is this self-willingly depraved, or is it self-willingly depraved?

There is no way, although the TV drama market has long surpassed the film market, and the popularity of TV drama actors and directors is often much higher than that of movie actors and directors, but in everyone's minds, TV series are still low-level movies.

Even the TV series directors and actors themselves have squeezed into the film circle with one mind.

Although the vast majority of media and fans said that Peng Yichen must be crazy to do this.

But unlike the previous one-sided situation, now Peng Yichen has some brainless fans.

They said conclusively on the Internet that Peng Yichen's filming of the TV series this time was to prepare for making commercial blockbusters in the future.

It can be seen from the announced investment in TV series that there must be a lot of big scenes in this TV series, so that Peng Yichen can hone his scene scheduling ability and make a lot of money through TV series.

This is definitely in preparation for the blockbuster film.

Not to mention, the speculation of these fans is really inseparable, the only difference is that Peng Yichen is not sure whether the TV series he wants to shoot can be a big hit.

Because the TV series he was going to shoot this time was not a success when it was just broadcast in his previous life, and the ratings were very low.

Later, it was through word-of-mouth spread on the Internet that this TV series became popular again, and was finally regarded as a classic in spy war TV series by many audiences.

Therefore, the only thing he can be sure of now is that the hard work and energy he put into making this TV series will definitely not lose to any movie.

He wants to try to shoot a super classic TV series with the lens texture and shooting techniques of shooting movies. Let Chinese audiences truly appreciate that the height that TV dramas can reach is definitely not lower than that of movies.

During this month, in addition to studying in school, a large part of his energy was spent writing the script of this TV series.

He racked his brains every day to refine the specific content of the TV series, and drew all the important plots in the TV series into sub-shots.

You must know that storyboarding is something that film directors do, and almost no TV director does storyboarding, because then it would be too much work.

But Peng Yichen insisted on not believing in evil, and gritted his teeth and drew most of the plot of the TV series into sub-shots, just to make the quality of this TV series close to or even surpass the movie.
