This book has passed the new book period but it is still early to put it on the shelves, and the only source of income for the book before it is released is rewards. Seeing that others are constantly rewarding, the old donkey is envious, and he is also brazen to ask for a reward. Make an agreement with you,From today onwards, two chapters will be updated every day before the shelves.,If the total amount of tips exceeds 10,000 starting coins,Add another chapter.。 I hope that the students who have spare energy can make the old donkey more, thank you! οΌ‰

(PS, by the way, ask for votes, the old donkey is about to be on the classification recommendation list.) οΌ‰

The plot of "The Matrix" is actually not very complicated, and the whole script can be divided into two major scenes, one is a real spaceship and the other is a matrix matrix. Chen Tian filmed according to the matrix matrix scene first and split the scene. Although it is out of the plot sequence, after more than a month of running-in with the crew, many actors have gradually integrated into the roles, and the rest is to shoot the scene step by step.

The highlight of the movie is also in the role of the matrix matrix, and the combination of special effects and action is the key.

Chen Tiandu attaches great importance to special effects, and whenever he has time, he will discuss a lot of technical issues with Michael Singki.

"Boss, you see, this is motion capture technology." Michael guided Chen Tiandu to watch several employees who were in charge of the demonstration doing body movements, they were wearing black sensor suits and their bodies were covered with sensor patches. "According to the needs of the plot, the various actions performed by the actors will transmit signals to the sensors. The camera captures his movements, which are then transmitted to the computer through the device, so we can see the results in real time. ”

"The shots of the computer SWAT snatching away the transformation are all done by them, and they can be very realistic."

Several crew members are dressing the actors in black tights, with white sensor patches all over their bodies. I saw a green 3D model in motion appear in the software window on the screen, which was the movement of the actor in front of me.

Chen Tiandu nodded and pondered: "If you want to build animated characters, do you also need to use motion capture technology?" Do you need any other technical means, such as imaging technology......

"Yes, it requires 3D modeling, but our studio's motion graphics technology can't match DreamWorks, let alone Pixar. Our level can only be done to imitate the skin of animals. "He was a little frustrated.

Chen Tiandu patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, we have just started to start, and there are more opportunities for progress behind us." Show me how Bullet Time went? ”

"Okay, follow me." Michael Singki was suddenly a little excited, "After the initial failure of the method of strapping a small transmitter to a camera and shooting the camera exploding at high speed, we tried a lot. Then we came up with a solution of placing a circle of cameras around the target, which would allow the camera to quickly capture each shot in succession and then process the shots. ”

"Did it work?" Chen Tiandu asked.

"Yes, although the method is clumsy, the effect is very obvious, and we made a bullet track effect." Michael laughed, "Boss, this is a first-of-its-kind. The previous special effects were almost all modeled after those used in TV commercials, music videos, or other films, but this one is different. It can be said that it has a unique charm and is the first of its kind in our studio. ”

"It's good, everyone has worked hard. Try to perfect it, don't make the ballistics too inconsistent, I think the movie will need it soon. ”

……

β€œaction!”

The scene captured in the footage is Neo's first encounter with the Prophet, and when he retreats, he is betrayed by a traitor and surrounded by computer SWAT.

The group escaped through the cracks in the wall to the sewers, and they couldn't find such a good shooting environment when they were actually shooting. So a wall of sewer collusion was built in a huge studio. The traitor deliberately coughed, which aroused the idea of the SWAT, and fired a gun that swept into the wall.

Smith arrived, and with a palm through the wall, he grabbed Neo and pulled him out. Morpheus yelled and smashed his head through the wall, knocking Smith to the ground.

"Morpheus!" Trinity shouted.

"Take Neo away, the key to success or failure is on him. Let's go, GO! ”

The close-up shot of both sides of the wall from the side captures the facial expressions of several people. In a close-up, Chen Tiandu's facial expression is complicated, because his character Neo has just met the prophet, but is told that he is not the savior. He had a little longing in his heart, but now that Morpheus was going to sacrifice for him, his expression was a little hideous, and the green tendons on one arm holding the railing on the wall were bursting out, revealing that he was in a very conflicted mood.

"Whew~~" Suddenly a strange shout came into my ears.

β€œcut!”

Filming paused, and everyone looked to the source of the sound. I saw Lawrence still crawling on the ground, and Hugo Weaving was holding his feet, with a painful facial expression.

"Doctor!" Chen Tiandu shouted, and people also pounced.

"What's wrong?" "Hurt." "Doctor, come here......" The scene was a little hectic.

Chen Tiandu walked over and looked at Lawrence, who was covered in dust, and took a clean towel to help him wipe it, "How about Lawrence, Hugo, where is the injury?" ”

"My hand twisted."

"My foot is twisted."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The two glanced at each other and laughed out loud, it's really hard to be brothers, "I'm sorry director." ”

Chen Tiandu waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything sorry, your body is important." ”

The doctor treated it briefly with a spray, and only after the examination did he say: "It's not too strict, I'll use ice to compress it, but I'm afraid I will have to rest for a few days." ”

Chen Tiandu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's take a rest first." Lawrence, Hugo, take good care of your wounds. ”

He frowned as he spoke.

"What's wrong?" Kate asked curiously.

Chen Tian didn't speak, unbuttoned his shoes, socks and trouser legs, and everyone gasped. It turned out that there was also a large bruise on his calf, which looked terrifying. These are all left behind when he fights with people, and he has always endured it, but now he finds that he is a little strict.

Lawrence and Hugo both looked at him in admiration.

It was the first time that Kate saw Chen Tiandu's foot hurt so badly, but she didn't know at all, and she suddenly blamed her, and the others were also worried.

Filming fight scenes, injuries are a common thing, and everyone is used to it.

"Maybe we need to buy a few more knee pads and elbow pads." Yuan Heping said.

Kong Yiji's face was heavy, "I'll go and buy it, it's best to have one pair per person." ”

Chen Tiandu nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's shoot the street scene first, if there is enough time, the scene of Kate and Charlize fighting can also be done." McConaway is over to you. ”

"What, I, can I do it? Such an important shot. ”

McConaway was taken aback, "Why don't you call Mr. Spielberg here." ”

He has followed Chen Tiandu since the last movie "The Sixth Sense", and he also served as an assistant director in the last play, but the investment in that drama was not large. But the investment in this drama has doubled, and for a film graduate like him who has not touched a camera for many years, the task is a bit heavy.

Chen Tiandu said: "You have to believe in yourself McCoway, you are also a graduate of USC, don't lose USC's face." ”

McCoway looked confused, "Okay, if I can't shoot well, I'll replace you." I'm going to call Mr. Spielberg anyway. ”

Chen Tiandu shook his head, he was too unconfident, but it seemed good to let Spielberg come to the rescue occasionally. McConway quickly assembled the crew, took some of them into groups, and went to the filming location to shoot other shots.

Kate has a role to play, although she is reluctant to leave, she still has to leave, looking at Chen Tiandu worriedly: "Then you have a good rest, don't be too busy, and work again when your feet are ready." ”

"I will." Chen Tiandu smiled, "You guys should also pay attention to safety." ”

Charlize was much more refreshed, and when Kate didn't find out, he boldly gave him a flying kiss, twisted his waist and walked away, leaving Chen Tiandu speechless for a long time.

Charlize and Kate's fight scene was specially added by Chen Tiandu. When Trinity took Neo and the others to escape from the sewers, she was caught by Trinity. Then the two sides fought a big battle, and the computer people could not be killed, and they escaped with great difficulty.

This scene is also very heavy, mainly showing the charm of Trinity and the female computer agent.

Director Yuan Heping has prepared a lot for this scene that highlights the charm of female fighting, and has been training them for several weeks.

His martial arts style is to incorporate a myriad of elements into the action, which adds to the intensity of the action and makes it incredibly pleasing to the eye.

"The more variations in a scene, the more interesting it becomes," he says, designing a particularly fast, powerful kick for Trinity, which he calls the Scorpion Kick. Yuan Heping naturally can't treat foreign actors like domestic actors, because most of them have never been exposed to kung fu, so they are more encouraged to make actors more confident.

Kate has suffered enough for this move, but fortunately, her dancing skills have not been completely lost. Kate also enjoyed the scorpion kicks and clever grappling moves, and she was excited to see how the audience reacted in the opening stanza.

Chen Tiandu was not too immersed in recuperation, and after bandaging it, he looked back at the shot just now to see if it needed to be reshot.

A steaming cup of creamy coffee was placed beside him, but the man did not disturb him, put it down and left.

"Come back!"

Niu Yingying was stunned for a moment, and looked back at him blankly.

Chen Tiandu smiled, "Thank you for the coffee." Yingying, are you still used to it in the crew, did you call your father? ”

It was Niu Yingying who poured him coffee, and the corners of her mouth smiled and revealed two big dimples: "It's very good, director, after leaving home, Lao Dou can't let me serve dishes anymore, not to mention how refreshing it is." And Mr. Acheson is also very nice, and I learned a lot from him. ”

"Yes." Chen Tiandu smiled, "I'll give you the task now, give these two costume designs to Mr. James Acheson to see, let him help modify them, and then you can personally go to the best tailor shop to make it, and it must be completed within a week." ”

"Oh" Niu Yingying happily agreed, took a look and said in surprise: "Director, this is an evening dress, such a beautiful skirt, cut according to whose body is it." ”

"The men's suit is mine, the women's is Kate's. The cost does not need to be counted in the crew, it is reported to me directly. ”

Niu Yingying rolled her eyes and said, "Director, is this what you want to wear at the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars?" Is it your own design, it's so cool. ”

"You're smart, don't let Mr. James know."

"Hee-hee, got it."
