Chapter 915: Virtual Photography
Zhang Ran stared at Li Xuejian in the monitor and shook his head gently, not dissatisfied with Li Xuejian's performance, but too satisfied. A few seconds ago, Li Xuejian's whole person was in good spirits and in excellent condition, but after starting to perform, the temperament and state of the whole person completely changed, as if he had really become a lonely old man in the countryside.
After shaking his head, Zhang Ran smiled and nodded again, the role of the ancestor has been completed, and the drama "Years, Months and Days" is halfway through!
In the monitor, Li Xuejian turned his gaze to the distance and said softly: "Blind, you don't have to be afraid, just eat it, that's your last ration for me, and I don't blame you for eating my share." He turned his head and said, "There is something I should tell you, blind man, there is not a grain of grain or a mouse left in the circle of a hundred miles above this mountain range, and after three days, you and I are so hungry that we have no strength to speak, and if you want to live, you will eat me one by one, and guard this maize, and when the villagers come back, they will bring them in and break this tassel; ”
Li Xuejian paused, and said with a sad expression: "Blind, this matter is up to you, if you want to live, you can leave here tonight, hide wherever you want, and come back in three days or five days, and I will starve to death here." After saying this, Li Xuejian wiped his face with his hand, and from top to bottom, two lines of tears wet his palm.
In the monitor on Zhang Ran's left, the staff waited for Li Xuejian to finish speaking, took the toy dog to Li Xuejian's footsteps, picked it up and put it down, and then turned the toy dog upside down, picked it up and stood in the air for a few seconds, and then returned to Li Xuejian's footsteps again; 。
After kneeling, the blind dog got up, walked slowly to the stove, arched the lid of the pot with his mouth, fished out something from the pot, walked towards Li Xuejian, and put the thing at Li Xuejian's feet.
Li Xuejian picked it up and saw that it was a peeled mouse, and the tooth marks of the blind dog on it were as dense as honeycombs on the meat. The blind dog ate the skin of the mouse, but the meat was left. Li Xuejian sighed and said softly: "You didn't eat this mouse? ”
The blind dog whined, as if to say that it was yours, and then gently rested his head on Li Xuejian's feet, like a child leaning on the lap of his parents.
After performing this scene, Zhang Ran called Li Xuejian over and called up the screen of the monitor to show him.
Li Xuejian was stunned, obviously there was nothing around him, but after the shooting, he was actually in the yard, and even the toy dog playing against him became an animated dog, he couldn't believe his eyes: "How did this come out, how did you do it?"
Zhang Ran explained with a smile: "This is called virtual photography, and now a 3D storyboard will be made before making a big production movie, and virtual photography can directly key the image taken by the camera in real time, and then synthesize it into a 3D storyboard." He pointed to Li Xuejian on the monitor and said, "In this scene just now, I deducted your image and synthesized it into the 3D storyboard we made in advance. This way, I can see how you look in the movie set in the shot, and the real and virtual elements are synchronized, no matter how the camera moves. ”
Li Xuejian doesn't know much about 3D storyboards, synthetic keying and other things, but he really feels the effect brought by the new technology, and says sincerely: "This is too advanced, Hollywood blockbusters are made like this!"
Zhang Ran said confidently: "In Hollywood, this kind of virtual photography that can be keyed in real time is also a new thing!"
As an old-timer, Li Xuejian was particularly happy to hear that young Chinese filmmakers had mastered the latest technology that only Hollywood has had: "You are really not simple, Hollywood has mastered the most advanced technology." But don't be proud, you have to continue to work hard, the gap with Hollywood is still relatively obvious, this picture looks a little fake, not like a real dog, like more like a cartoon. ”
The Tiangong Chongcai staff present immediately laughed when they heard this.
Li Xuejian saw that everyone was laughing, so he said, "What, am I not right?"
Zhang Ran explained with a smile: "Mr. Li, the 3D storyboard is equivalent to a draft, which is mainly used to help the photographer adjust the shooting, and the director guides the actors to adjust the performance action. The real effect is definitely not like this, don't worry, the effect we come up with in the end will definitely not be worse than Hollywood!"
Li Xuejian touched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm getting an axe from the class!"
After two test shoots, Zhang Ran took Li Xuejian to the Tiangong Chongcai Lin'an Branch. Here, Li Xuejian saw the finished blind dog and yellow wolf. The blind dog is a yellow-haired and black-mouthed dog, with a big fluffy tail, a very beautiful dog, but unfortunately a pair of eyes are blind; the yellow wolf looks very similar to a dog, but the two eyes emit a faint fierce light, bared fangs, and spit out a blood-red tongue that makes people shudder.
When Li Xuejian put on 3D glasses, he saw the yellow wolf jump out of the screen directly and pounce on him, he screamed "ah", and the whole person kicked back two steps back.
After taking off his glasses, Li Xuejian, whose shock had not yet disappeared, opened his mouth and asked: "I can't tell it's fake at all, even the hair is one by one, it's too real!"
At this time, Li Xuejian believed that Zhang Ran was not bragging when they said that technology is not inferior to Hollywood!
After sending Li Xuejian away, Zhang continued to be busy in Lin'an, busy for the release of "Future Apocalypse", busy for the preparation of "Year, Month and Day", and busy for the opening of the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival.
Early in the morning of March 12th, the Lin'an Zhijiang Hotel was crowded with media reporters who heard the news, today is the day of the press conference of the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival, the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival is a major event that has attracted much attention in the domestic and even international film circles in recent months, and the media is naturally unwilling to give up the opportunity to report for the first time.
In addition to the world's major media gatherings, as a partner of the film festival, the film channel and Century Summit Online will also broadcast the entire press conference live.
A beautiful reporter introduced everything in front of her to the camera: "Hello everyone, I'm Yao Miao, and we're outside the Zhijiang Hotel now." According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 200 media outlets present today, and these media are from ......"
The press conference was crowded, with hundreds of journalists from all over the world jamming the scene.
"There are a lot of foreign journalists here today, it seems that everyone is very optimistic about the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival!"
"That's for sure, last year's Peking Film Festival, Zhang Ran pulled a lot of Hollywood superstars to cheer, Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival is his own, and the films screened are not art films, but science fiction, magic, horror and other commercial films, there must be a lot of Hollywood superstars who come to cheer, there are many Hollywood stars, and the media attention is naturally very high!"
However, after last year's Peking Film Festival, many experts and professors criticized Zhang Ran for flattering Hollywood, saying that bringing so many Hollywood stars to the film festival lowered the style. If Zhang Ran invites too many Hollywood stars this time, he will definitely be scolded!"
A female reporter in the crowd sneered: "These experts and professors know a fart, film festivals need Hollywood stars to attract audiences, this truth is understood by the three major film festivals, Cannes is known as the temple of film art, but in fact, hugging Hollywood's thighs is the most joyful." There are no Hollywood stars at this year's Peking Film Festival, so let's see how much overseas media attention there will be!"
Many reporters present recognized the female reporter who spoke as Tang Jia, a die-hard fan of Zhang Ran. However, the reporters nodded slightly, thinking that Tang Jia's words made sense, mature film festivals, especially the three major film festivals, will select a lot of Hollywood films every year, so as to ensure that there is enough exposure during the film festival, of course, the final award is always a small-budget art film, everyone takes what they need, and there is no conflict. It's really stupid not to choose Hollywood movies at all, like the Peking Film Festival this year.
At this moment, Tang Jia saw Zhang Ran and the members of the organizing committee of the film festival walking in through the side door, and immediately shouted: "Zhang Ran and the people from the organizing committee are here!"
When everyone heard this, they stopped talking, and quickly pointed the camera in their hands at Zhang Ran and his party.
In the click, the intense flash of light connected into a curtain of light, so bright that it was difficult for Zhang Ran to open their eyes.
Facing the strong flash, Zhang Ran and they came to the rostrum with a smile on their faces. Tong Gang, director of the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Film Affairs, sat in the middle of the rostrum, Zhang Ran sat next to Tong Gang as the vice chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Film Festival, and other members of the Organizing Committee of the Film Festival also sat down, and then the press conference began.
After the host gave a brief introduction to the members of the organizing committee, Liu Dali, director of the office of the organizing committee, began to introduce the preparations for the film festival, and he told the reporters present that after three months of invitation and collection, the film festival has received a total of 1,120 films from more than 50 countries and regions such as the United States, Russia, France, Dongying, and South Korea.
Next, Ms. Chang Wei, Executive Deputy Director of the Office of the Organizing Committee of the Film Festival, announced the first batch of film lists, including sci-fi films such as "Future Apocalypse", "Men in Black 3" and "Ring Messenger", horror films such as "Cabin in the Woods", "Pen Fairy" and "Invasion of the Wireworms", and of course games and anime adaptations such as "Avengers", "Raging Speed" and "Rogue Kenshin Live-action".
After hearing the list of films to be screened, the reporters present were extremely excited, and the whole scene was like boiling water, boiling and talking.
""Future Apocalypse" and "The Avengers" both premiered in Lin'an, which are super blockbusters!"
"There are a lot of horror films, the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival is really good, there was no place to watch horror movies in the past, but now I can finally see it on the big screen!"
"Awesome! There are many blockbusters at home and abroad, and there are all kinds of movies that are usually very difficult to pass the review!"
China is relatively strict about certain themes, such as horror movies can't have ghosts, and many movies can't be seen in China. Now the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival has opened a window for everyone, horror, thriller, crime, suspense and many other movies that have not had the opportunity to be seen in movies before, and now everyone can have the opportunity to see them.
Of course, although it is a film festival, all participating films still need to be reviewed and approved by relevant departments before they can participate in the screening. It's just that the films shown at the film festival are not released publicly, and the General Administration is not as strict in censorship as the films that are released publicly. But a more perverted film like "Human Centipede" is still impossible to pass censorship and appear at film festivals.
Tang Jia looked at the high-spirited Zhang Ran on stage, and suddenly remembered that he once said that he hoped that through this platform, the audience could see movies that they couldn't usually see, and he really did it!
