Chapter 10: Chinese New Year's Eve
Next up is the character and scene model.
The first character to spawn is the heroine, whose name does not appear in the novel, although Liu Cixin mentions in another of his short stories, "Earth Cannon", that the female navigator trapped in the center of the earth is called Shen Jing.
Chen Xin has high requirements for the image of the person, the steel hammer is almost a pixel by pixel on the screen to generate an image, under the gaze of Chen Xin's eyes, the picture on the screen seems to be magical, from the beginning of the white curtain to the general outline, and then gradually become a clear picture, a bit similar to a photo, but more three-dimensional than the real photo. Whether it's the light color or the glossy texture, it looks extremely realistic.
On the screen, the heroine Shen Jing is wearing a fat spacesuit, in a small cabin, and various complex navigation systems are flashing one after another, but there are no windows, no observation screen, only a weightless pencil spinning above her head.
Chen Xin looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this girl was a little familiar, and soon, he reacted, this girl was seven or eight points similar to his ex-girlfriend Ling Wei.
"Who asked you to use Ling Wei's photo!" Chen Xin slapped the table and said angrily.
Gangyi hurriedly poked his head out of the computer and sneered: "Isn't this to make you look a little more pleasing to the eye? Also, haven't you noticed that Ling Wei's temperament is very compatible with the heroine of the novel." ”
As soon as Gang Gong said this, Chen Xin was stunned for a moment.
Indeed, Ling Wei is very similar to Shen Jing, the heroine of the novel, in both appearance and personality, with that kind of soft strength in her bones, perhaps this is why Weishenme herself subconsciously chose "Bring Her Eyes" as the first micro-film.
Chen Xin wanted Gangyi to delete Ling Wei's picture and do it again, but he never said it, stayed for a long time, and said with a long breath: "Okay, continue to do the second one." ”
With Ling Wei's previous experience, designed the actor to be seven or eight percent similar to Chen Xin, and Chen Xin didn't react at all after reading it.
It took a whole night to make the characters and prop models, including the hero and heroine, the director of the space center, the crew of the "Sunset Six", the ionospheric aircraft, the "Sunset" series of ground spacecraft, the magma lake of the launch of the ground spacecraft in the Turpan Basin, the huge earth mural in the space center building and hall, mountains, grasslands, forests, the sandy beaches of Hainan Island, the ice and snow of Alaska, the birch forests of Russia, and the deserts of the Sahara......
Later, Chen Xin was really sleepy, so he cooked two packs of instant noodles to cushion his stomach and went to sleep.
The next step was to create a complete CG scene and then put them back together frame by frame according to the storyboard script.
This kind of work is the most time-consuming, like "Transformers 3", in the process of making the Diamond Demon Destruction Skyscraper, each frame would have taken an incredible 288 hours if done by a single person, so that the Diamond Demon and the CG effect of the skyscraper could be seamlessly combined.
In a movie, there must be at least 23 frames per second, so you can imagine the workload of a CG movie.
Fortunately, these are basically done by the steel hammer, Chen Xin is responsible for the review on the side, and if he finds a problem, he will continue to revise it, even so, the two of them stumbled and it took six full days to announce the completion.
In order to avoid the shortcomings of the stiff demeanor of the characters in CG movies, Chen Xin also asked Gangyi to download more than 100TB of films from the Internet, and even Little Japan's aiqing action movies did not let go, specifically collecting the action and expression data of different characters with different personalities in different scenes, and then making the CG characters in the movie as close to real people as possible.
In a word, it is simulacrum, so realistic that the human eye and even the computer cannot distinguish the real from the fake.
When all the scenes were spliced frame by frame and clicked on to play, Chen Xin was even stunned.
Whether it is grasslands, snow-capped mountains, forests or the towering space center building, the ionospheric aircraft with a sense of science and technology, the huge earth-based spacecraft, and even the characters in it are all too realistic, Chen Xin can't tell whether the hero and heroine are real people.
Although there is no music and sound effects, and the dialogue between the characters is silent, Chen Xin is still thrilled to watch.
He couldn't believe that it was a work made by himself and.
Even if others tell him that this is a Hollywood blockbuster, he has the confidence to spit on the other party, and Hollywood blockbusters can reach this level???!!!
The rest is the soundtrack, dubbing and other work, dubbing is not a big problem, just hand it over to the steel hammer to synthesize.
The main difficulty lies in the soundtrack, although the music written by the steel hammer is good, but it always sounds like something is missing, and compared with the exquisite picture, it is too inferior, Chen Xin considered whether to spend money to find a professional to do it.
Just as he was having a headache about this, the phone rang.
Chen Xinyi looked at the telegram information, and immediately became happy, thinking that he was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow, how could he forget Aunt Zhou.
He pressed answer, and Aunt Zhou's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hey, Ah Xin?" On Chinese New Year's Eve, come over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at that time." ”
"Aunt Zhou!" Chen Xinwei was stunned, and his voice suddenly became louder, "Huh, Chinese New Year's Eve today?"
He quickly checked the electronic calendar, February 2, 2011, with two small words written underneath, Chinese New Year's Eve.
Aunt Zhou said: "What stupid thing are you kidding? Why did you forget the time, I didn't get through several calls to you before, the display was turned off, QQ was not online, Xiaoyue came back from the capital, and yelled all day long to find you." ”
Chen Xin hurriedly explained: "I recently took a job, and I was so busy that I didn't know if my phone was out of battery. ”
Aunt Zhou said: "Okay, okay, you also have to pay attention to your body, don't exhaust your body for work...... Dead girl, don't rob ...... Ah Xin, Xiaoyue is anxious to talk to you, I will go to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you hurry over. ”
There was a burst of laughter like silver bells on the other end of the phone, and soon, a crisp voice rang out: "Brother Chen Xin......"
……
Aunt Zhou's name is Zhou Haiqing, an associate professor of the Department of Music of the School of Arts of Jiangcheng University, and her husband Wang Guoqiang is a student of Chen Xin's grandfather, and is now an engineer of PetroChina Great Wall Drilling Engineering Co., Ltd., and spends most of the year abroad.
Since Chen Xineng can remember, the two families are neighbors, and they have always been very close, Chen Xin's mother Jin Kezhu and Zhou Haiqing are best friends, so good that they are like sisters, it is said that Chen Xin's parents were able to come together because of Aunt Zhou's matchmaking.
Aunt Zhou and Uncle Wang only have one daughter, Wang Xiaoyue, four years younger than Chen Xin, at that time Chen Xin was the child Wang of the family home, the little girl dragged her nose and followed Chen Xin's ass all day long. Chen Xin loves this little sister very much, the two have been close since childhood, and they are not estranged when they grow up.
finally fooled the sticky Wang Xiaoyue, Chen Xin called a steel hammer, and made a special copy of "Bring Her Eyes" to see if Aunt Zhou could find some people in the music circle to make the soundtrack for this movie.
Aunt Zhou's teacher's apartment is located near the new campus of Jiangcheng University, called Hanmo Fenglin, which was built two years ago, when the school also approached Chen Xin and asked him if he would like to replace the two 150-square-meter apartments in Hanmo Fenglin with the two-story building on the old campus, Chen Xin chose to refuse. That small building has too many beautiful memories for Chen Xin, and he doesn't want to erase all the traces of Zuihou left by his parents.
When he arrived at the door of Aunt Zhou's house, Chen Xin rang the doorbell, and the door soon opened, revealing a pretty face with bright eyes and bright teeth.
"Brother Chen Xin, you're finally here......" Wang Xiaoyue showed a bright smile on her face, and hurriedly pulled Chen Xin into the house and found slippers for him to change.
Chen Xin let out a cold breath, rubbed his hands and looked Wang Xiaoyue up and down: "Xiaoyue, let me see, I haven't seen you for half a year, it seems that I have grown taller again." ”
The air conditioning was turned on in the house, Wang Xiaoyue was only wearing a white high-necked shirt on her upper body, her chest was swollen and bulging, it seemed to be much bigger than before, lining her small waist, and her lower body was a black and white knee-length pleated skirt, black stockings wrapped her slender jade legs, youthful and beautiful, and exquisite.
Wang Xiaoyue straightened up with a smile, leaned on Chen Xin on tiptoe, compared her height with Chen Xin's with her hand, and said, "Really, you see I'm almost at the root of your ear, and my mother said that I don't grow tall." ”
Chen Xin only felt a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, and he retreated a little distance without a trace, and asked, "Xiaoyue, where is your father?"
At this time, Aunt Zhou came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Your Uncle Wang went to Africa again some time ago, and it seems that there is a problem with a project, and he needs to take charge of it himself, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until after the year." ”
Wang Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose and said pitifully: "So the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is just the three of us, don't pay attention to my dad's villain, I was scolded by him on the phone today, Brother Chen Xin, you have to help me." ”
Aunt Zhou said: "You deserve to be scolded, Ah Xin, tell me, this girl didn't want to learn music at the beginning, so we relied on her and let her learn acting, but this semester she secretly transferred to the directing department without us knowing, if I hadn't talked to an old classmate of Beiying on the phone today, I would still be hidden by this dead girl." Even if you are interested in directing, you can first experience a few years in the entertainment industry before studying, and it will not be without opportunities in the future. You said that at your age, what can you do after graduating from the directing department, you can only do chores in the crew, and if you want to make a name for yourself, you may be a teenager, and you have no experience, who wants to invest money to make a film for you......"
Wang Xiaoyue rolled her eyes when she heard this, and made a grimace at Aunt Zhou and said, "Brother Chen Xin, let's go, let's ignore them, they are all bad guys, and they gang up to bully me." ”
As she spoke, Wang Xiaoyue pulled Chen Xin into her room.
Chen Xin reluctantly turned his head and smiled at Aunt Zhou, and said, "I'll persuade her." ”
Wang Xiaoyue is a student of the acting department of the Capital Film Academy, and she is only a sophomore this year, but she already has a certain reputation on the Internet.
When the freshmen of the Capital Film Academy enrolled last year, several of her photos without makeup were captured by reporters and uploaded to the Internet, which instantly detonated the Internet, and many people were attracted by her pure, cute, fresh and natural image, and also specially established a post bar or something, known as the [Moon Guardians].
Chen Xin also saw those photos, and teased her on the phone at the time: "Xiaoyue, your image is too deceiving, why didn't I realize that you have such a cute side?"
Wang Xiaoyue was almost half angry with Chen Xin, gritted her teeth and said: "Dead Chen Xin, you wait, wait for me to come back, I must let you see the cute side of this girl." ”
