"In the current filmmaking process, the idea of special effects has been reflected from the beginning of the storyboard script, and the film and television special effects have changed the original traditional filmmaking process and methods.

When planning the script, in the arrangement of the narrative, the film and television special effects made the creator jump out of the traditional linear thinking mode and completely broke the concept of time and space, so some pictures limited to shooting technology could be realized, and the creator let go of his hands and feet and gave full play to his imagination.

In addition to traditional scripts and storyboard scripts, film and television special effects also need their own special effects scripts.

In the early stage of shooting, in addition to on-site shooting, there are more and more shots such as scenery, blue screen, model, and digital skylight painting...... Because in the blue screen, there is no scene, it is all up to the imagination of the actors, and the emotional actions of the performance are required to match the scenes in the synthesized picture, which is undoubtedly a challenge to the actors' experience and performance skills......"

Ji Fei said.

But these, the reporter can still stubbornly grasp his neck and understand it, but Gu Gaoyi doesn't understand what he said.

"Special effects are often edited by software, such as Houdini

It is a very powerful software in terms of special effects. Many movie special effects are done by it: for example, the "magic flowers" placed by "Gandalf" in The Lord of the Rings and the scene where the "water horse" breaks down the "Ring Spirit......

Avid's Illusion is an all-in-one compositing software for movie effects, compositing, painting, and transformation.

It is based on SGI's full range of platform uncompressed digital non-linear post-editing and special effects production systems, with efficient production environment, production quality, and integrated functional modules......

…… Models of people, monsters, buildings, and vehicles were all used to create special effects for the film.

When models have to be moved, we can move them in any of three ways: by hand, mechanically, or electrically.

It takes a long time to move them by hand, because the model needs to move around the screen for at least 24 seconds......

…… At normal speed, motion picture film is capable of taking 24 still images per second. Varying the number of frames shot per second can create some basic effects.

Taking more than 24 frames per second creates a slow-motion effect. Conversely, if there are less than 24 frames per second, the action in the movie will speed up, which will appear more intense and exciting......"

Gu Gaoyi finally said: "Of course, this is just a simple approximation, in fact, special effects are more difficult to do, reporters and friends just need to understand, there is no need to study in depth." ”

The stunned reporter was abused in an instant, thinking that he should not ask, it is useless to ask again, and generally speaking, the special effects are very good.

Then ask yourself who suffers.

So, I immediately turned around and interviewed the actors......

"Mr. Fei Xiang, for what reason did you participate in "Painted Skin", and do you have confidence in this?" The journalist asked.

Fei Xiang was a singer before, although he also made cameos, but the first time he played a role like this, he was still a villain.

Fei Xiang said: {"There is no reason, first: I am also a fan of Director Wang, and I am very happy to cooperate with Director Wang."}

Secondly?

I'm a singer.

However, I am very happy to have such an opportunity.

I have confidence, besides, there are so many top actors, I will ask them more, I think Director Wang dares to ask me to act, just have confidence in me, I will not disappoint everyone. ”

"What do you think of the first villain in "Painted Skin"?" Reporter.

"There are no bad actors, just different angles. If I play the role, let everyone be a reporter, even if it is hated, it will be a success. Fei Xiang said.

"Is Mr. Fei Xiang satisfied with the salary of "Painted Skin"?" The reporter asked.

Unexpectedly, these reporters just had a closed door from Zhou Xun, and they came to inquire from Fei Xiang, an unprofessional actor.

"I'm satisfied." Fei Xiang said.

"Ahem......"

"On this issue, reporters don't need to pay too much attention to it, "Painted Skin" is a big production, and the salary I give is definitely worthy of the value of the actors. Please ask the reporter to interview the actors more, these are inconsequential, we refuse to interview, thank you for your cooperation. Wang Meng stood up and said, obviously these reporters began to pay attention to the salary.

The more you talk about this thing, the worse it is.

If the reporter can't interview the content he wants, he will make up for it, and it's not good to make up for it with his brain.

"This reporter, you ask a question." Wang Meng pointed to a reporter for a newspaper, a branch of its subsidiary, Dream Media.

This reporter is not stupid, he knows that the boss does not want to be entangled in the salary.

In addition, I received a request from the headquarters before I came.

Try to interview the rookie actors as much as possible to expand the popularity of the rookie actors at the headquarters.

"May I ask Mr. Feng Shaofeng, it is the first time to appear in such a big production, and it is a movie directed by Wang, how do you feel?" The reporter asked in a routine way.

Before, Feng Shaofeng's agent also told Feng Shaofeng that he would wait for an interview.

Therefore, even if Feng Shaofeng was nervous, he said it catchy.

{"The mood is naturally excited, Director Wang's works, plus Teacher Zhou Xun, Teacher Zhao Wei, Teacher Fei Xiang, and Teacher Ye of the crew, Teacher Tan, Teacher Cheng and other teachers.}

It is my luck to cooperate with them, and I am also grateful to my company DreamWorks for their strong support, thanks to Director Wang's support, I will do my best to show all of myself and not let everyone down. ”}

"Then Mr. Feng Shaofeng, how did you get this opportunity?"

The reporter and Feng Shaofeng asked and answered clearly.

Feng Shaofeng said how lucky he was, how hard he had to work hard, and almost told everything about the recent events, which can be regarded as achieving his goal of publicizing himself.

"May I ask Miss Liu Shishi......" reporter.

Liu Shishi also conducted an interview in a routine.

Anyway, I want to work hard, I'm scared, I want to work hard, everyone can rest assured......

"Director Wang, Mr. Jifei and Mr. Gu Gaoyi said just now that special effects account for a large proportion in this film, how much does it occupy?" After a circle of actors' fan wen, the reporter began to focus on Wang Meng again.

"Less than half, more than a third. I can say that this film has an investment of 100 million yuan, of which the special effects account for half of the phone bill. Wang Mengdao.

Everyone was surprised when this sentence was said!

Before, there were many reporters who found after a round of interviews that the 100 million investment Wang Meng said was obviously exaggerated. I was looking for an opportunity to ask, but now that Wang Meng said this, many reporters were in a trance.

"At this point, about special effects, please tell Mr. Gu Gaoyi." Wang Meng told reporters.

The reporter was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Director Wang, just say it briefly." ”

"Yes, Director Wang, just say it briefly."

The reporter broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to look for Gu Gaoyi, he didn't understand what he said at all, and asked him to say how we would report.

"Uh...... Let me talk about it briefly. Wang Meng was also speechless.

And Gu Gaoyi on the side is even more confused, is it that he doesn't say it well, or that he is too ugly and no one likes it.

"Lao Ji, what I said is not good?" Gu Gaoyi asked Ji Feidao.

"Hey, it's not that we said it badly, it's that they don't understand what we say, so ...... You know. Ji Fei said with a smile.

"Oh, that's it!"

The two asked and answered.

Wang Meng, who was interviewed, had to say simply:

"In fact, special effects are not simple special effects, including modeling, dunking, green cloth keying and a series of other work. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Xiao Wei played by Zhou Xun in "Painted Skin", the 'skin' of Xiao Wei in the play, we spent nearly 10 million from research to finalization, not to mention other models and so on. ”

When it comes to this, the reporter understands, and the actor understands.

Wang Meng's words are vivid and easy to understand, unlike Gu Gaoyi's clouds.

Wang Meng took out an example and said--A skin, we spent nearly 10 million, you can imagine.

The ninety-minute interview is coming to an end.

The DreamWorks reporter in charge of the closing asked: "Director Wang, are your estimated filming time and release time reliable?" ”

"It's hard to say about this, we expect it to be released in the summer. It is all going well, of course, I believe that our "Painted Skin" crew will not disappoint everyone, and thank you for the arrival of journalists. ”

……

The launch conference of "Painted Skin" is over.

In the next two days, Wang Meng led all the crew to Hengdian Film and Television City.
