Chapter 407 Training for Hollywood actors

In the period when the film was just turned on, the busiest person changed from Peng Yichen to producer Blake.

Because he had to give special training to the actors from the Star Flag Country.

For special effects personnel, the production of a science fiction movie is very troublesome, and it is actually just as troublesome for actors.

In the past, many scenes in science fiction movies could only be shot against a green screen background, and then CG compositing was carried out through a computer in the later stage.

For example, Peng Yichen's "Country Teacher" is now filming.

Before, if you were going to shoot the battle of the second spiral arm of the galaxy.

The actor had to be in front of a green screen, pretending to be floating in mid-air with coercion (the people of the Carbon Federation are floating), and then pretending to be in a huge battleship, pretending to see the fleet making an interstellar jump, pretending to be affected by the explosion of the battleship, and so on.

How to make a person show shock, horror, curiosity, surprise, despair and other emotions in front of an empty green screen is a headache for many directors.

The advancement of technology has indeed made many otherwise impossible scenes appear on the movie screen.

However, no matter how advanced technology is, if there is no acting support from actors, then those classic movie shots will not be successfully shot.

Movies are the tools that people use to create dreams, so the core is always the stage for people's emotions, thoughts, character and imagination.

Without living people, there are no classic movies.

However, the holographic projection equipment manufactured by Peng Yichen has broken the limitations of green screen shooting technology.

Actors don't have to perform all kinds of difficult non-physical performances in front of a green screen.

They are able to see very realistically the scenes that can only appear in the various fantasies that appear around their bodies.

The endless space of the universe, the magnificent nebula slowly turning, the huge warships and terrifying weapons burst out with amazing power.

All these magical scenes can appear directly around them.

This would have been helpful for the actors' performances.

However, it is precisely because this holographic projection is so realistic that it often causes great panic and impact on the actors.

After all, in the imagination, see a monster and then perform in front of a green screen.

And see a monster with your own eyes, right next to you, and then let you perform.

At this time, two completely different situations.

At the beginning, Blake asked all the actors in the Star Flag Country, including Tom Hanks, to sign a non-disclosure agreement for the filming content.

These actors of the Star Flag Country don't feel anything yet.

After all, many movies will have a requirement to keep the plot secret.

But when they got the contract, they found out that the strictest requirement in the contract was the secrecy of the filming technology.

In other words, they can't reveal the filming method of Chen Jing Film Company.

Of course, they don't have too many complaints about this.

After all, special effects shooting technology, for an actor, does not belong to the category they care about.

In the Star Flag Country, they haven't seen any strange shooting methods, so they haven't taken this one to heart.

All signed this strange non-disclosure contract.

But when they really understood how Peng Yichen filmed the special effects scenes, they knew why the other party would propose such a strange contract.

Even Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman, who claim to be well-informed, were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground when they first walked into the holographic projection set.

Don't think it's Tom Hanks, they're timid.

Can you imagine a giant star suddenly appearing above your head and an equally huge spaceship flying out of some wormhole?

Although the size of these images, due to the limitations of the size of the studio, is not as large as in the real world.

But the realistic stellar flames and textured battleships make it impossible for everyone who sees them not to look at them as real objects.

Therefore, whoever sees it for the first time will be shocked by these realistic images.

This overly realistic projection directly affects the actors performing in it.

Even a top actor like Tom Hanks often plays in these scenes.

After all, he wasn't really the captain of a battleship of the Carbon-Based Federation, and he couldn't convince himself to really calm down when he saw such a terrifying huge Star Destroyer appear next to him.

Not to mention the performance of other Star Flag Country actors, it is even more of a mess.

For this reason, producer Blake had to organize all the actors of the Star Flag Country, with the help of special effects personnel, to carry out adaptability training.

Of course, these trainings are conducted at night, because during the day, the holographic projection equipment also has to cooperate with the completion of some special effects without the appearance of actors to participate in the shooting.

Even Tom Hanks, the biggest name in the crew, has no objection to this.

As an actor, it is necessary to undergo various training in order to make a good movie.

And this kind of training must not affect the normal shooting progress of the film, which is also as it should be.

These Hollywood actors still have this work ethic.

Among the crew, the only two who don't need training are Peng Yichen and Yu Jing.

Needless to say, Peng Yichen himself has even experienced the battle of the second spiral arm of the galaxy in the plot world.

Where will be scared by some holographic projection to the extent that it affects the performance.

And the reason why Yu Jing can adapt so quickly is because she wanted to make her very small role in this movie.

came to the crew early to rehearse with Peng Yichen, and was already familiar with this holographic projection equipment.

Although, this time she was just filming a battleship duty officer with very few scenes.

But being able to act with the world's top actors such as Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman, and being able to watch their performances at any time was unimaginable for Jing before.

She didn't allow herself to miss out on this best opportunity to learn.

So, she has long been accustomed to the various effects projected by holographic projection equipment.

But even so, she still trains with Hollywood actors with a meticulous attitude.

Whenever she has the opportunity, she will also ask top actors such as Hanks, Morgan, and Waltz about various questions about acting.

These actors had already learned from the translator specially invited by Chen Jing Film Company that this actress was the wife of director Peng Yichen.

Now seeing Yu Jing working so hard and studious, these old actors also appreciate her attitude towards acting.

Therefore, they didn't mean to hide their secrets, and taught Yu Jing their perception of performance without reservation.

This kind of training didn't last too long, and Peng Yichen didn't delay it too long. He had to finish filming the plot of the carbon-based federation within two months, because there was still the plot of the rural teacher, which had to be filmed on location in western Shaanxi.

So after three days, the training of Hollywood actors ended.

The scenes of the second spiral arm battle of the galaxy can finally start filming.

Peng Yichen has been looking forward to this day for a long time. Because he can finally compete with his idol, Tom Hanks.
