Chapter 860: Stand-in
The so-called new technology is actually the MR rehearsal system specially customized by Bee Film and Television.
Actors are also human beings, and they also need to be familiar with the plot to hone and cooperate, so there are rehearsals for drama performances, film and television shooting, and let the actors practice collectively before the formal performance, so that the formal performance can have a better performance.
The length of the TV series is large and the time is tight, and it can't be repeated and repeated like the movie. Bee Ying deliberately customized this drama system, which is to introduce MR mixed reality technology into film and television shooting, so that actors and directors can more intuitively see the scenes and characters after deducting pictures and replacing them with special effects, so that it is easier to understand the logic of the plot and facilitate the brewing of feelings to play acting skills.
Modern film and television special effects have long reasoned about the concept of "post-production", but advocating simultaneous production, and the special effects department has been involved in the content production from the preparatory period. The play system does not need a complete background, it is enough to preliminarily make a model with stickers, and the real difficulty is the dynamic tracking of the bee glasses, so that there can be no problems such as misalignment of equipment and inaccurate fireballs. This is also the reason why "The Legend of the Ancestral Dragon" is filmed in the whole stage and CG sets, and only professional studios can put down a large number of motion and location tracking equipment to ensure accurate and fast tracking.
Of course, the glasses are only useful for the stage of the play, and they have to be taken off when they are actually filming, so acting skills are still very important.
In fact, bee film and television has always had little to do with Xiao Xianrou.
They have always tended to make film and television dramas with ancient costumes and mythological themes, which is convenient for Yikuai to show off special effects, and it is more convenient for Bee Game to change the popularity of the game. A large number of plays, a large number of studio shooting, bloated costumes, and ancient lines are all types that young actors hate, and coupled with the low salary of the market, the stars naturally avoid it. On the contrary, those who are good actors are not popular and the old actors with low prices will not refuse to take on the show, and the problems of their age and appearance can be solved by makeup and CG technology.
The reporter friend didn't know the inside story, so he could only use his imagination to guess, and then there was the following scene.
On the car heading to the Lintong Terracotta Warriors, Zhu Lingling suddenly smiled and handed out her mobile phone, "Boss, look at this!"
"Huh?" stretched out his hand to take it, and Atletico Madrid found that it was a Weibo page, and a blogger who was certified as a newspaper reporter broke the news, saying, "Bee made a big deal to shoot the costume drama "The Legend of Zu Long", threatening to have advanced technology and not be afraid of no acting skills. Of course, he didn't know what the specific technology was, but he hinted at his guess with a picture of a beautiful robot.
Bee has long developed a facial expression simulation system that allows machine faces to convey emotions as usual, so as to avoid falling into a panic valley. Obviously, the reporter felt that since he was so capable, he could go one step further and use robots to act for actors.
Interestingly, this robot beauty is indeed made by bees, and it is carefully built by its digital biology company. To be precise, it was DigiTiger who commissioned Digital Creature to design and manufacture this full-featured companion-type robot actor, and then labeled DigitalLover to sell it to the island nation.
What's even more interesting is that this beauty machine is really a movie actor, but she starred in a CD-ROM film with a somewhat embarrassing status on the island.
Three months ago, DigiTiger partnered with a local company to open Asia's first robot custom shop in Tokyo, which caused a stir. Inspired by this, a film and television company has produced a number of special action movies under the title of "Visiting the Machine Customs Shop", and this picture is from one of them.
In the island country where strange things emerge one after another, it is not uncommon for people and robots to interact and fall in love, and playing happily with dolls is also a common theme in the film. In normal times, film and television companies let real actors pretend to be stiff and pretend to be robots, and later bees simulated customized robots through the vest of the big sword on Hong Kong Island, and their appearance, body temperature, movements, voice, expressions and intelligence are very close to humans, which can be regarded as making up for this shortcoming, making the film worthy of its name.
At the beginning, the production company that just took the hunting route tried to use machines to perform various two-dimensional fantasy characters, and the robot body shape, skin color, and hair color can be customized, which is much better than real people wearing wigs, and it is very popular with otaku groups. As a result, more and more manufacturers began to try this kind of theme, and gradually formed a special genre, which has a group of loyal fans.
With the passage of time, the big sword has become a thing of the past, and the digital tiger has been reborn and successfully developed a new category of robo****, but the high-end models used in the production of the film cannot be produced by themselves, so they can only find digital biological OEM and only earn a little trademark fee.
The reason why digital creatures are willing to be the heroes behind the scenes is not only because there are flaws in the copyright and portrait rights of many products, which are not suitable for boasting, but also because of the lack of performance of genuine performing arts robots.
Glancing at the publication time, Atletico said: "Heh, the speed is quite fast, and he sent it out before the press conference ended." Celebrities are getting more and more expensive, and it is indeed a good idea to replace them with robot actors. It's a pity that their performance is not enough, they can't act in action scenes due to lack of power, their expressions are not rich, and their literary dramas are not brilliant, and the rest of those supporting roles, dragon sets, and even work such as text replacement, light replacement, back replacement, chest replacement, and hand replacement, it is obviously cheaper and less trouble-free to use third-rate actors......"
His eyes stayed on the picture for 0.1 seconds, he returned the phone to the other party, and said pointedly: "Except for some special occasions, most film and television companies will not use them." ”
Zhu Lingling didn't hear Atletico Madrid's overtones, her attention was attracted by the pile of "x substitutes", and she opened her mouth to ask: "Naked substitute I know, some well-known actors are unwilling to shoot ****, so let the substitute play, is this the same for the back and chest?"
"Almost, these are all products of industry segmentation," Atletico nodded: "Stand-ins are very common in the film and television industry." The action is dangerous, the face is used for limited time, the voice is not standard, the hands are not good-looking, the chest is not beautiful, and the scar on the back is used to replace the body. ”
"Boss, are you wrong? Celebrities just point to this face to attract fans and make money, how can they be replaced by others?"
"Well, it's a little exaggerated," Atletico admitted his mistake, "There is no face substitute in the industry, only a literary drama stand-in." Some celebrities can't shoot too many red scenes, so they take out the back and medium and long shots for the stand-in to shoot to improve efficiency, such a stand-in not only requires a similar body shape, but also has requirements for the face shape and appearance, or simply let the stand-in wear ********, this kind of stand-in is not a face substitute is a god?"
"Huh, can it be like this?" Zhu Lingling exclaimed.
Of course she believes her boss's words. Bee's shadow auxiliary company specializes in this, and the quality is much better than those on the Internet, since the boss said so, it must be true. More than a dozen faces alternated in Zhu Lingling's mind, but she couldn't guess which one was made into a mask.
"Boss?"
"Huh?"
"Tell me, who replaced it with a face?"
"I know, but I don't say it, there is a non-disclosure agreement," Atletico smirked and shook his forefinger.
"Whew!" exhaled depressedly and blew her forehead, Zhu Lingling lowered her head and swiped Weibo. The finger was pulled down and released, and the page was quickly refreshed, and when she saw the content on it, she hurriedly quit Weibo with an "ah!", and stuffed her phone into her bag to look out the window at the street scene.
Atletico smiled at the corners of their lips, already knowing why the other party was like this. He can see the source of the picture at a glance, and other netizens can do the same with the help of search engines. You don't have to look at him to guess that the comment area of this Weibo must have been occupied by new and old drivers, and there are license plates and movie review spoilers everywhere.
In fact, after the page was refreshed, Zhu Lingling saw that the building in the comment area was very crooked, and a lot of people were discussing the plot of a certain film. Although there are many harmonious code words in the words, she is not Xiaobai, who doesn't understand anything, instantly understands the meaning, and then she is embarrassed.
If she is alone, or if she is surrounded by girlfriends, she will naturally look up and look at her calmly, and she may even be curious to download and watch and appreciate. But at this moment, she is sitting next to her own boss, or the kind that is so familiar that it is difficult to start, in order not to make herself a nasty bewitching slut, she can only stop and be a shrunken lady.
All the way to the east, the neat new high-rise buildings on the roadside gradually disappear, replaced by four or five storey rural self-built houses. The shape is simple and practical, layer by layer, one style, in Zhu Lingling's words, "interesting, it is actually a modern splicing style!"
"That's not a modern patchwork," Atletico said, looking at his assistant and pointing to a family: "Most of the people living here are renters, and the landlord often adds one or two floors every few years in order to overcharge rent or compensation for demolition, and the architectural style is naturally not uniform." ”
"Ah? can it be like this?" The female assistant was slightly surprised, she grew up in Jianning County, and after graduating from a bachelor's degree, she directly entered the bee work, and did not have the experience of living in an urban village, so she accidentally made a joke.
"Isn't that right?" she asked, "Isn't it dangerous to put layers of cover?"
"Of course, there is a danger, the original design is four floors, but if two layers are added, the foundation of the wall below may not be able to hold up. Every once in a while, there are incidents of casualties caused by private stamping on the news," Ma Jing said: "However, being favored by reporters and directors also shows that the probability of this kind of accident is very low. ”
As soon as he said this, Zhu Lingling's eyes changed when she looked at those buildings again, and she felt quite afraid of the tiger, and she was also amused when she saw Ma Jing, "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, some of the buildings covered with prefabricated slabs with bamboo bars have persisted until the new century, and these buildings are almost all reinforced concrete, and the load-bearing capacity is still good." Those that collapse are usually under construction, and the cement does not have sufficient solidification strength. ”
Zhu Lingling pursed her lips, "Anyway, I'm a little scared when I look at it." Why can't the state take care of it?"
"Of course there is a problem, otherwise how did the news of the collapse of the building come about? This is the official guidance and warning. ”
"I understand, I understand," Zhu Lingling stretched out her hand and pointed ahead, "If there is no accident, the people will not raise officials and not be held accountable, and as soon as something happens, it will be rectified." ”
In front of the car, a red banner was displayed across the road in the wind, and the white bold characters on it were particularly eye-catching in the sun: "Concentrate on cleaning up black tour guides and black rentals, and special rectification of fake scenic spots and fake local products." Apparently, the officials at both levels in the city have taken action and shown amazing efficiency.
Compared with the disapproval of the little girls around her, Atletico Madrid is quite happy, in any case, it is better than nothing, it is better to be late than not to be good, and it is better to be late than to be absent. Just like this changing city, it is still moving forward despite being on the air pollution charts every once in a while.
"Da Da!" suddenly sounded the text message prompt tone, breaking the silence in the carriage.
Zhu Lingling opened the bag and looked at it, the light was Atletico Madrid's work mobile phone, pressed it to unlock it casually, and said with a smile: "Speaking of god speed, there is more god speed, the Cultural Affairs Bureau sent a text message, saying that it was decided to hold an auction of confiscated fake terracotta warriors, and asked the boss if you have time." ”
"What am I going to do? Who loves those rags who want them!" The latter subconsciously asked rhetorically, and then he retracted the preface and changed his words: "You help me reply to them, just say that I am nervous about my schedule and will fly to Yanjing tonight, and someone will be arranged to participate for me at that time." ”
Originally, the cultural management and tourism departments planned to carry out a multi-departmental comprehensive law enforcement campaign to destroy the fake terracotta warriors and horses that had aroused public anger. After hearing this, Atletico casually said that this is not good, it is better to confiscate the illegal business tools, and then auction them in a unified manner to compensate the tourists who have suffered losses.
According to his understanding, this rat poop has already broken a pot of soup, and cutting it in a hurry can't save the problem, so it's better to make a big news. It can not only put on a shameful and courageous attitude, but also explain to the deceived tourists, as well as the effect of event marketing to expand popularity. Of course, these are just Atletico's personal opinions, and I forgot about them, and I didn't expect the tourism bureau to listen to them and quickly decided to do so.
Since people give face like this, of course, Atletico Madrid also has to be courteous, and it is necessary to send people over to bid for it, lest these low-looking copycat terracotta warriors be auctioned off, and everyone will be very embarrassed.
After sending the text message, the female assistant expressed her dissenting opinion: "I feel that this is completely unnecessary. It's better to find a place to pile up the garbage, just like the Wall of Shame, and maybe it will become a new attraction in the future. ”
"Good idea!" Atletico strodged his palms and admired, "but this auction also has a compensation function in it, although it is impossible to compensate everyone in place, but if the auction is not passed, everyone will not look good." ”
"As for the wall of shame," Atletico Madrid looked the female assistant up and down, and saw that the latter was uncomfortable, and then said: "Zero, this task is handed over to you." It is not necessarily limited to fake terracotta warriors, other representative fake cultural relics, fake sculptures, and copycat figurines can be collected and placed in a centralized place. ”
"Huh?" Zhu Lingling stared at the dog's body and felt that the whole person was not good, compared to the brain hole and the temperament, she was really going to be defeated!
