024: An epoch-making little movie
In the underground secret room, several large lamps illuminate the room.
In the center of the room was a pure white curtain, in front of which a dark elf stood with a sleeve on its neck, wrists, and ankles. Like a dark elf, Grandma Sun twisted her cervical vertebrae, and several captains held the sleeve pole to the left and right, and treated the dark elf as a puppet.
"Wait and I'll see ......"
Gao De flipped through the notebook, which was the "storyboard" he hastily made with a pencil.
Confirming that there were no errors or omissions, AutoNavi nodded.
These lieutenants had already practiced during the day, pulling the sleeve rod and making the dark elves make some movements. The dark elves have wooden stakes fixed behind them, and a white curtain penetrates the stakes to cover the background, which at first glance looks like this.
"That's it!?"
You Santong, who operated the camera, sneered: "Isn't this a child's trick? How can people believe it?"
"It's just the material, you'll know when the finished product comes out," Gao De scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, don't you need money for film?"
He picked up two boards of wood that had been pinned together by binders and clicked together: "First Quarter - Shoot!"
"Stride, raise your hands, raise your head!"
"Laughter! Grandma Sun, you can laugh! Oh, I'll give you a dubbing subsidy! Pay attention to laughing weirdly, it makes people's scalp tingle!"
"Stop! Camera stop!"
"Alright, open your chest!"
Grandma Sun skillfully disemboweled the dark elf, and You Santong softened on the ground and vomited.
"Stop!"
The smell of blood in the room was already exciting enough, coupled with the sour smell of vomit, everyone rushed out of the door, only Granny Sun was unmoved.
"You three links, can you do it!?"
When the room was cleaned up and everyone returned to their posts, Gao De taunted You Santong: "Haven't you seen all kinds of strange things?
"I, I ......"
The well-known reporter blushed and was quite embarrassed, "Of course I can! Don't underestimate me, I am the world-famous You Santong!"
Then the guy vomited twice, once with a craniotomy and once with a caesarean section, but fortunately, Gaode gave him a special vomit bag and didn't interrupt the shooting for too long.
In the middle of the night, this part of the shooting came to an end, and Gao De took the film to another dark room. It has been set up as a darkroom for developing and editing film, and all kinds of potion utensils are ready.
"Lao Er understands that a set must be reprinted first, and the original film must be kept at the bottom, otherwise it will not be changed back if something goes wrong. ”
"This is Lao Er's craft to support himself, if he can't rely on it, Lao Er's life is meaningless. ”
"Half an hour is fine, Lord Baihu waits. It's okay to watch from the side, don't get in the way of the old man's business. ”
As soon as Zeng Shadow was busy, the vicissitudes of life on his body faded, and the whole person became focused and powerful, and even regarded Gao De as an assistant.
"Is Lord Baihu also doing this? Why are you so skilled?" Gao De cooperated tacitly, which made Zeng Ying Puppet a little strange.
"Jinyiwei, you have to understand everything. Gao De said perfunctorily, in fact, a few years ago, he worked as an assistant to the old man in the darkroom.
The film took only about ten minutes, and it was reprinted in less than half an hour. The original film was sealed and preserved, and with the reprinted film, Gao De selected, and cut it with shadow puppetry, and got the material in the early three minutes.
"Pull the whole person out of the background, these sleeves, hands, knives, saws, etc. Gao De pointed to the black and white light and shadow projected onto the wall with a projector and explained, "Every frame is numbered, don't mess up the order, old man?
Zeng Ying Ying stared at the light and shadow on the wall, his eyes straightened, and his throat gurgled. was slapped on the vest by Gao De, and it took him to spit out thick phlegm.
"Black, black-skinned bean sprouts!" the old man pointed to the disemboweled dark elf, trembling like a pendulum. "Yes, it's true!"
Yo, you said you weren't afraid.
Sure enough, it's a kind little people, and even the dark elves have never been in contact with it.
"It's true, and so are the demons. Gao De's words were like red pills, which completely changed the world that Zeng Ying Puppet knew. "The rumors are true, we do live in a terrible world. ”
Zeng Ying asked tremblingly: "Then I...... What the hell is Lord Hyakho doing?"
"Let everyone know what the devil looks like," Gao De put the notebook on the table, "and when the other background is ready, I will paste the cut off part into the background, and then follow the drawing on the notebook." Don't draw too clearly, but be vague and make it look like it's completely real, and I know you can do it. ”
That's the key to Operation Matryoshka: film special effects.
Although there are movies and television in this world, even film and television forms such as feature films have not yet been born, let alone special effects. As Wang Kunlun said, seeing is believing, and people deeply believe that cameras are only used to record the truth, and everything in TV and movies is real.
Only people like Zeng Shadow Puppet will consciously or unconsciously create illusions on film. Nor did they think of creating a false reality on film, but painted all kinds of strange scenes, and then used a projector to project a fancy scene that was a visual spectacle for the people of this era, much more vivid and interesting than a kaleidoscope.
Seeing that Zeng Ying was still in a daze, Gao De explained: "It's not a fake, it's true, it's just that there was no camera at that time and there was no way to record it, so I asked you to reproduce the scene at that time." ”
Zeng Shadow Shadow blinked and became angry, and he was still very dazed, "Let everyone know that the demon is real, why did Lord Baihu do this?"
"Why ......"
Gao De almost said "for the pension", "Of course, it is to make the world a better place, so that everyone can live in peace." ”
Zeng Ying looked at Gao De in surprise, and looked at it for a long time, so long that Gao De suspected that he had been immobilized, and the old man said in a deep voice: "I understand, I believe in Lord Baihu." ”
When Gao De came out of the darkroom, the old man shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "Did I hear it wrong? That kid told me this more than ten years ago." ”
The moon was setting and the sun was rising, and by early morning, the old man had finished his work, and it was Gao De's turn to shoot the background.
Turning on the windshield and breaking down, the shell was deflated in several places, Gao De and the others arrived at the abandoned mine, Wang Kunlun complained bitterly when he saw it: "This is bought by five hundred golden dragons, don't you think about it first when you scream and crash into it, Lord Baihu?"
Gao De was surprised: "Isn't it six hundred golden dragons?"
"Ahaha, I remember wrong, it's six hundred, six hundred!" Wang Kunlun scratched his head and smirked, so angry that Gao De's teeth itched. This guy is really a typical old oilman, he can rub a layer of oil down with his hands. He secretly made up his mind that when this matter was over, he must put the discipline of the elephant training center in order.
"Yo, you three links ......"
The big reporter was behind Gao De, looking left and right curiously, and Wang Kunlun recognized it at a glance.
After some arrangement, the underground space became the filming site, and Wang Kunlun, Huozi, Mazi and a group of Jinyi guards became extras.
Gao De finally got over the director's addiction, guarded the camera, and shouted non-stop with the tin speaker.
"Lao Wang, will you act? How can you be so stunned and fall, people are not iron bumps!"
"Roll on the ground, camel!"
"Mazi, don't go so far, don't you? Listen to your scream, is the devil your fellow countryman? You are singing happily!"
"You who are falling...... Forget it, tie a rope on each person's back and find someone to pull!"
You Santong, the photographer, was squeezed aside and rubbed his hands and stomped his feet in a hurry. He felt that he was exposed to a new world, but this world pulled him in without even a door, and his eyes were full of new things, and he couldn't grasp the clue at all.
This part is filmed of the demon who was locked up in the abandoned mine and broke the cage, and the Jinyi guard fought the evil demon who broke out of the body. When the brocade guards launched the "harmony mold machine" concocted by Lao Gu and restrained the non-existent "devil", the filming work came to an end.
"I see something," You Santong scratched his heart and liver, "what about my part? If you don't add me, how can you make everyone believe that this is the real event I filmed." ”
Big reporters are really sensitive to falsifying the truth, and Wang Kunlun and others are still confused.
"It's your turn," Gao De wants You Santong to cooperate wholeheartedly, and now it should be enough to watch the fire.
Gao De first gave You Santong instructions, You Santong drew inferences from one another, made some corrections, and soon his part was also filmed.
Carrying a heavy camera, pretending to sneak into the abandoned mine, the camera shook very much in the process, and You Santong occasionally put his head in front of the camera, panting and saying something to create a tense atmosphere and emphasize the secret environment. This guy gave full play to his acting skills, which made Wang Kunlun and other extras ashamed, and at the same time embarrassed.
Before the camera stopped, You Santong retreated to the camera and asked Gao De: "What about the back? Do you want me to join the battle to seal the evil demons?" I have already designed several actions. ”
Gao De grinned, "You just say something in front of the camera, it's just how terrible the evil demon is." ”
You Santong came to the camera and started acting, and Gao De gave Liu Xiaopang a look.
"The demon is starting to use his magic! My crotch is about to explode!"
You Santong is addicted to acting and plays extraordinarily: "I have to close my eyes, but I don't want to close my ......"
"Ah——!h
The last scream was true feelings, Liu Xiaopang smashed a stick on the back of his head, making him roll his eyes and stick out his tongue, and he fell in front of the camera in a daze.
Gao De shouted: "Call it a day!"
That's what happened to the guy who stole the show......
The person took the camera back to the compound of the elephant training institute, and the second round of darkroom operations began.
Gao De and Zeng shadow puppet stayed in the dark room for most of the day, Gao De explained, Zeng shadow puppet operation, projection to confirm the effect, and then returned to modify, meticulously crafted, busy until midnight before it was completed.
The whole small movie has about ten minutes, except for You Santong's personal performance, there are three minutes that need to be done with special effects. The world's film camera is 30 frames per second, and it takes nearly 6,000 images to edit.
In fact, as long as you make changes in the keyframes, which is about a 10-to-1 ratio, the visual effect is enough to make it realistic. To ensure the effect, AutoNavi raised the keyframes to six to one, and needed to process less than 1,000 frames. In the background of the abandoned mine, the process of disemboweling is embedded in the activities of the dark elves, and the vague evil demon is drawn to break out, and then the spliced film is reprinted into a complete original film, and an epoch-making special effects film is born.
Playing special effects on film was not the knowledge that Gao De had in his previous life, and he didn't even have an idea of what film was. When I came to this world, I had an idea after mixing with Zeng Shadow Puppet for a while. I wanted to pull Zeng Shadow Puppet to make special effects movies to start, but when I heard Zeng Shadow Puppet talk about the tragic past, I had to give up.
Now it's an old dream come true.
"Oh my God......"
In the darkroom, Gao De and Zeng Ying watched the fruits of their labor together, and the latter couldn't even breathe for a while.
The old man curled up and muttered, "Is this really mine? What did I do?"
