When Jiang Wenjun's heart was shaking, he suddenly heard someone say: "Director Jiang, can you take us to the motion capture CG room to have a look, I have been making a primate motion capture movie recently, I hope I can learn from it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Jiang Wenjun looked back and saw that it was Andy Serkis who had been silent all the time, the actor of "Grunt" in "The Lord of the Rings", who had always given people an extremely quiet feeling, and at this time he opened his mouth to make a request, which made Jiang Wenjun immediately nervous.

Here it comes...... This is where Disney is really going to test them, action simulation is the direction of CG animated films, and they want to see how far the art factory has reached in this field now.

Jiang Wenjun knew that this was the most critical factor for Disney to decide what tactics to adopt in cooperation with them today, and he also brought everyone from Disney to the motion capture hall.

In order to shoot two animated films, the art factory built a huge motion capture hall, which is 700 square meters in size, full of rockeries, green cloth and some tree branches and various jungle terrain, which is specially designed to shoot motion capture systems.

This time, not only the Great Sage, but also the Mountain Demon and Zhu Bajie, all used actors to perform their expressions.

Seeing Lin Feng and Jiang Wenjun come in, Dr. Lin, who was wearing a white coat, and a group of actors in close-fitting nylon jumpsuits in the repertory troupe all enthusiastically surrounded and shouted with surprise on their faces: "Lin Feng ~ Director Jiang ~"

Among them, including Xiao Feng and Da Luo, who had been sparring with Lin Feng not long ago.

Lin Feng, these long-lost brothers and sisters, hugged one by one, and greeted them affectionately, this time when he learned that the two animated films needed a group of motion capture actors, the first thing he thought of was Mr. Lin and his students in the repertory troupe, they are all experts in body and expression, and they are the best motion capture actors.

(A few months ago, I went to study for "The Return of the Great Sage")

"How can there be so many people?" Old Lady Flo looked a little confused.

"They're all motion-captured actors." Andy Serkis walked over slowly, took a strangely shaped helmet from the staff, and Mrs. Flo explained:

"This is the 'hooded expression capture system' developed by James Cameron for the filming of "Avatar", and from now on, the actors of the motion capture performance will no longer have what looked like one-piece swimsuits and swim caps on their heads, but will wear a helmet-like device. With this device, the facial expressions of the actors can be accurately recorded. So starting with "Avatar", motion capture can be used by actors on a large scale. ”

Old Lady Flo squinted her eyes and said, "In other words, these people have played those roles that do not exist in reality, and they have to play them vividly. ”

"Well...... This is not an easy task. Andy Serkis looked at them and said with empathy:

"Although post-production animators can make adjustments, the expression of human emotions is too subtle, and it is mainly done through actors, but when you are not playing a human ...... When it's a monster or an animal, it's a very challenging job. ”

Jiang Wenjun glanced at Xiao Qilingtong at this time, and Xiao Qilingtong understood, and immediately asked Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu to put on nylon tights painted with LED markers, wear a head-mounted camera, and then start to shuttle and jump in the woods.

Jiang Wenjun came to the computer screen of motion capture while wearing everyone, and asked everyone to watch Sun Wukong on the computer screen together, watching the dull monkey model move vividly, scratching his ears and cheeks all of a sudden, and suddenly running on the tree, the staff of the Black Feather Art Factory couldn't help laughing, and you foreigners have never seen this monkey show in their hearts.

Xiao Qilingtong said unexpectedly: "This monkey opera is our traditional Chinese drama, and when performing, it pays attention to eagle eyes, holding chests, pulling backs, hugging shoulders, bowing waist, sucking hips, and bending legs...... Just bending the legs, you have to practice for five years, because Sun Wukong's legs can't be straightened when he sits and lies down, and he has to bend his knees together to reveal infinite strength......"

After Xiao Qilingtong finished speaking, he looked at the translator and said to Unkridge, thinking to himself that you foreigners don't understand these things, right?

To his surprise, Unkridge and Andy Serkis nodded their heads again and again, but looking at Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba's performances, they frowned slightly and seemed to be very dissatisfied.

Xiao Qilingtong was a little unhappy, thinking to himself, can you understand? You still have a stinky shelf to show me, right? deliberately teased: "Why, this gentleman is not satisfied, I heard that he is also playing the role of an ape, why don't you try it too, let's exchange the method with each other." ”

This sentence was originally very rude, but Jiang Wenjun didn't say anything, he just wanted to deliberately kill Disney's prestige, and wanted to see how Mrs. Flo responded.

At this time, Andy Serkis looked at Unkridge, Unkrich nodded, and he said:

"I do have some research on primate acting, and it is also a little different from your monkey play......

As he spoke, he stepped forward and made a gesture to Hachi and asked, "Can I try it?" ”

Xiaoba took off his tights, wore a helmet, looked this strange-looking actor up and down, and secretly said in his heart, can he still act in a monkey show with this fat man? It's almost the same to play Zhu Bajie with such a big belly.

Sure enough, the special tights were too small for Andy Serkis, and he wore them for a long time before he could barely put them on.

But to their surprise, after Andy Serkis got dressed, the Disney staff handed him braces.

When Jiang Wenjun was puzzled, Lin Feng explained beside him: "The structure of primates is different from ours, they can't make our voices, unlike us humans who are articulate, and our tongues tend to touch the back of our teeth......

After listening to this, Jiang Wenjun didn't think much about why Lin Feng knew these news, but he was slightly shocked in his heart, this Disney person was really prepared.

After Andy Serkis changed into a full set of motion capture equipment, everyone looked at the Monkey King on the computer screen, and there was no longer the lively jump like before, but more calm and majestic.

Andy Serkis stood there, his body twisted all the time, supported only by the muscles of his thighs, his eyes flashed slightly, although there was no big movement, just a few steps, Sun Wukong's whole person revealed a completely different wildness and domineering.

All those animators who are in charge of motion capture, their eyes are lit up, and there is a huge shock in their hearts, this demeanor, this feeling...... That's what they want.

If Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba's performances are "people learn monkeys", then Andy Serkis is "monkey scholars", although there seems to be only a little difference, but the temperament given to people is a world of difference.

watched Xiao Qi and Xiao Eight before, and they felt like the monkeys they were performing on the stage, and Andy Serkis's Monkey King was the monkey king who stood calmly in the deep mountains and dense forests.

That sense of majesty is in the bones.

Jiang Wenjun was shocked when he saw it, his mouth opened slightly, although he couldn't say why, but he clearly felt that Andy Serkis was performing the Monkey King they wanted...... How so? How is that possible? (To be continued.) )
