Although the love in his heart is surging, there is still work at hand, so Duane is not in a hurry to start this new project. After participating in the Huabiao Award from Beijin, he returned to Nanyang to continue the filming of "Terminator".

At the moment, he was sitting in a chair, holding a boxed lunch—everyone else had already eaten, and he, the director, had been busy with other things just now, and only now did he find time to eat.

He looked at the head of Su Yun in front of him while eating, and the words of the special effects artist came from his ears: "...... When the time comes, as long as someone is standing in the back, it will be fine, like this. ”

Special effects artist Qian Guoming put the half-human model on himself and demonstrated it to Duane.

I saw that this model, which was completely molded upside down with Su Yun's head, was raised under Qian Guoming's manipulation, drooping, swaying left and right, half of it was a normal human face, lifelike, it was Su Yun, and the other half of the eye was gouged out, and the part that should have been the eye was a black mechanical eyeball, which was very weird.

Even under the blue sky and white sun, it is still a little scary to watch such a scene.

Duane took a bite of the chicken thigh, chewed it twice, and pointed with chopsticks, "Why don't you blink your eyes?"

When Qian Guoming heard this, his movements paused, poked his head out from behind the half-body model, and said with a wry smile: "Director Du, it's already very good to be able to do this, how can you maintain a normal blinking frequency like a real person?"

Duane shook his head, "No, it's still a bit fake." After speaking, he asked Su Yun next to him, "What do you think?"

Su Yun's face was a little unsightly, he forced a smile, and said, "I think it's good." ”

Anyone who sees another self in front of him, and only has his upper body, will feel a little uncomfortable.

Duane took another bite of food, chewing slowly, not speaking.

The normal part of "The Terminator" is very easy to shoot, and that is what Duane is good at, but these special effects shots are a little difficult to do, just like the scene to be filmed later: the next scene is to shoot the scene where the Terminator is shot after a chase and his eye is broken, and he returns to his temporary residence to cut off the artificial eyeball with a knife, revealing the mechanical eyeball underneath.

After discussing with the special effects engineer of the crew, the special effects artist Qian Guoming built a model to shoot, saying that this is now the case in the circle. It was the first time for Du An to shoot this kind of special effects film, so he listened to Qian Guoming's advice, and asked him to make an inverted mold of Su Yun's head in advance, and it took more than ten days to make such a model.

Qian Guoming's level is still good, this model is lifelike, at first glance, there is no difference between it and Su Yun himself, and it is no wonder that Su Yun's face is not very good-looking.

However, Duane still felt that he was not satisfied.

Without him, just because I think it's still not real enough, after careful observation, I can still find that this model is still a little stiff compared to real people, and the details can't be the same as real people, especially once it moves, this stiffness is more obvious, far less flexible than real people.

Du An's even thought of the further part: after this eye-grabbing scene is over, it is to be spliced together with Su Yun's normal performance. Now that this model is so stiff, after splicing it with Su Yun's performance, it will obviously cause a sense of weirdness - like a person suddenly changing from slow motion to normal movement, it will look very abrupt.

This is something he cannot tolerate.

"Can I do it with CG?"

Duane suddenly turned his head and asked the person next to him.

This man was a fair-skinned man, in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but his hair was a little messy.

His name is Guo Tingkun, the post-production special effects artist of the Industrial Light & Magic resident team, who is here to guide a series of problems such as how to deal with scenes that require post-processing in the filming of the film.

"I can do it with CG,"

Guo Tingkun said: "However, according to our current technical level, the effect will not be much better than the current model, but the amount of money required is too much, so in terms of cost performance, I don't build YÌ to use CG." Unlike ordinary technicians who only pay attention to technology and do not consider practical factors, Guo Tingkun has a good grasp of capital and technology, which is why Li Mingyuan will send him to the team as a post-production special effects artist.

Qian Guoming didn't think much of Du An's words, and kindly interjected, "Director Du, it's all filmed like this in China, it's not worth wasting money." ”

Du ane knew that Qian Guoming was right, and most people thought like Qian Guoming, but in his opinion, it was precisely because there were too many such ideas that domestic special effects technology could not be developed: everyone thought about cost performance, and felt that it was okay to make do, how to develop technology? If you want to develop technology, you must have the craftsman spirit of striving for perfection like Li Mingyuan.

Duane shook his head, "Others are others, I am me." Then he turned his head and asked Guo Tingkun: "If you use CG, how much better can the effect be?"

Guo Tingkun was in trouble: "This kind of thing is difficult to quantify......"

Duane changed his words: "Can you make the audience watch it two or three times and still can't believe it's fake?"

Guo Tingkun thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, if we are given enough time, we can do it slowly." But it's really not much better, and after staring at it five or six times, you can still find something wrong. ”

This kind of Cheng dù is already acceptable to Duane, and I believe that no one will be bored enough to go to the cinema and watch a movie five or six times just to stare at a camera.

"That's fine,"

Duane clapped the board, "Then use CG to make it, and return this thing to the warehouse." ”

Qian Guoming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Yes, he has understood this master's temper for a while, and he can say whatever he says. As for the question of wasted funds...... Then leave it to the producer to have a headache, it's none of his business.

Du An's eyes looked at the expressions of the people around him, and knew that they were very puzzled by picking out a detail by themselves, and felt that it was a waste of money, but he also had his own ideas.

In "The Terminator", the Terminator slowly breaks down in several pursuits, revealing little by little the mechanical structure under the human skin, which is a process of slow accumulation of oppression, and this sense of oppression throughout the scene is also the core of the play. And the scene of gouging out eyeballs is the first time that the terminator shows his non-human scene in front of the audience, which can be said to be the most important thing, can it shock the audience, this scene plays a key role, so he does not allow a little flaw, how good he can do, how good he can do, otherwise at a glance, let the audience see that this is fake and dance the scene every minute?

Even if it's fake, make them suspect it's real.

In Duane's view, whether a movie can be attractive or not is often reflected in these details, and "Pretty Woman" is a representative of his theory - the story of "Wind and Moon" is actually very vulgar, but it is because he is set in real details, and Zhu Qian and he perform realistically, so it is good-looking.

In order to implement his spirit of detail, the crew spent a lot of extra expenses: for example, Zhou Ren used hacking technology that has been advanced for 45 years to hack into the local public security system in an Internet café to check Chen Shasha's address. and sent Su Yun to learn firearms-related knowledge before, which is also based on this principle.

The only one who suffers is Su Yun.

Because the next eyeball-gouging scene was changed to CG, Su Yun was also taken to put on special effects makeup, and when he came out, his left eye was closed, and he was ordered not to open it, it was painted with green paint, and there were some red tracking points distributed - this is to allow the computer to identify these areas when doing special effects in the later stage, so as to digitally add the internal metal structure.

At this time, Duane also finished eating, and there was no concept of resting after dinner, so he ran directly over to start work. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
