Chapter 701 Scene 701 Budget Crisis
For an afternoon, Emma Watson, Aamir Shah and the Indian acting students stared intently at Sura Shama and Li Xiaole's battle of wits, and they didn't feel bored at all, but as if they were watching real people fighting tigers, they exclaimed from time to time.
They never expected that Sura Shama would be so smart, using all kinds of strange ways, or yelling, or shaking the lifeboat, or luring the "tiger" into the water, what is even more surprising is that Li Xiaole's performance as a tiger is simply amazing, he almost from the beginning, he is completely like a Bengal tiger, his gait and body, and even roaring make people feel flawless......
If Sura Shama is impressive, then Li Xiaole's tiger performance is simply amazing......
"This guy was teasing us from the beginning." Emma watched it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shake her lower lip and hummed, as long as you perform well, you can be the hero and heroine of the movie, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let them accompany Sura Shama to be a sparring partner......
"Yes, Director Li is too cunning." Amir Shah muttered unconvinced: "If he moved this tiger just now, who wouldn't be able to play well......"
"Stupid, you don't understand at all." Emma glared at the dark-skinned Amir Shah angrily, and lectured him like a big sister: "He didn't know how to play this tiger at the beginning, it was Shama's inner vision that led him to create the tiger, and Shama is the only one among us who has a 'natural vision'. ”
"This guy...... How can it be......? Amir Shah opened his mouth and said in disbelief: "He's so stupid......"
"Right...... It is because he is stupid that he can always believe in the scene constructed in his heart, and he can be so convinced that Li is the Bengal tiger...... It's been two hours now, and it's amazing how he can still continue his 'inner vision'......"
Emma looked at Sura Shama with envy...... She finally figured out what it meant by "innate vision", which was actually a pure "naïve paranoia", where a person kept the most natural part of his heart and only believed. and live in the "innocence" of his own world.
Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp, Zhou Xingxing...... These people are weirdos who are a little autistic at heart and only believe in themselves, and the simple and naïve Sura Shama is also such a weirdo......
And she and Aamir Shah are both professionally trained in acting, and they already have countless acting theories in their hearts, as well as the "correct thoughts" that those professors teach them...... So they can't be 'born with vision' at all.
"Your name is Aamir Shah, right~~~? Come here~" Emma also gritted her silver teeth when she thought of this, stood up, and beckoned directly to Amir Sha next to her.
"What's wrong?" Aamir Shah was also very nervous looking at the brutal Hermione in "Harry Potter", after all, Emma is also a small international star.
"Since we don't have 'natural vision', we don't hurry up and practice the day after tomorrow~! You are also idle when you are idle, and if you have time to chase stars, you might as well work hard. Emma pulled him over, walked towards another small boat next to the dock, and pointed to the corner: "Go, lie down, you come to play the tiger~~"
"Why do you want to play a tiger~ I'm the number one ...... Brahmin Film and Television Academy," Amir Shah protested with a stubborn face.
"What's wrong with the first place in Brahmin Film and Television Academy~! I'm still the number one Hogwarts House~! Emma pointed to the corner with great majesty: "Do you want a lady to play the tiger!?" Don't go squatting yet! ”
"No, I'm going to play 'pie'~! I have to ...... Oops~! What are you doing~" Amir Sha rolled his eyes and shouted, and before he could finish yelling, Emma came up and said, "Smack!" "I slapped him hard, covered his face, and the tears were going to stay.
"Don't you want me to play a tiger, I'm such a thin lady, how can you be afraid of me, how can I make a ready-made inner vision if I don't beat you~" Emma raised her hand again confidently, and said viciously like Li Xiaole just now: "Are you afraid of me~!" ”
"That's it~! ~~All right~~! I play the tiger~I play the tiger~~" Amir Sha covered his face, was so frightened that he crawled, squatted in the corner, and honestly played the "Bengal tiger"......
"It's hard to do this soon~~" Emma snorted and touched her palm, and then jumped on the boat and began to act with Amir Shah.
Watching Emma and Aamir Shah start to practice 'inner vision' in full swing, the other Brahmin Film and Television Academy acting students also couldn't help it, and they all shouted not to be outdone: "Salman~Let's come too~~" "Suharto~~You come to act, I'll play Tiger~~Let's play together~~"
A group of boys and girls were divided into groups, found different boats and yachts on this dock, and began to practice in groups.
"This Director Li is really capable, and he screamed at such a group of cubs in one afternoon......" Not far away, several Bollywood producers in the crew sighed to each other in a low voice: "These Brahmin Academy guys usually can't control anyone, what kind of magic do you say this Chinese director has, and he has cleaned up this group of aristocratic scum......"
"Alas, I think if we had a few Li Xiaole in India, we would have been able to turn Bollywood into a real Hollywood~~" The taller Bollywood producer next to him sighed with great emotion.
When these shots were sent back to the Black Sail Studio, after the person in charge Wu Wei saw it, he couldn't help but scold his mother excitedly: "Damn~!" Damn it~~! With that, we'll be able to finish this damn tiger~! The boss won't pass it on sooner for what! ”
Since receiving Li Xiaole's task on "Youth Pi Fantasy Drifting", Wu Wei has been worrying almost every day, thinking about how to shoot this tiger anytime and anywhere.
Li Xiaole's order is that if you want to shoot the tiger as real and make the audience think that the tiger is real, then you must switch between the real tiger and the digital tiger~~
First of all, Wu Wei invited an animal expert to study real tigers, and watched hundreds of hours of reference videos to study the way it raised its claws when walking, the way its body shook in detail, and the details of its animal instincts.
The tiger cortex is loose skin that envelops large masses of muscles, so the skin simulation has to deal with thousands of muscle movement details and wrap them in the right way, and the tiger's hair alone is handled by more than 15 animators.
But these technical problems are not the most difficult, the most difficult thing is that you can't imagine what actions the tiger will make in the movie, and you can't let the tiger be a model for you, if you do it out of thin air, such a large number of CG shots will take at least 1 year or more, and Wu Wei feels crazy that Li Xiaole's death order must be completed within 4 months.
How the fuck is this possible~!!
In the great anxiety and uneasiness, he suddenly saw the clips of Li Xiaole playing the tiger, which saved Wu Wei, after he watched these shots, he fully knew how to make those shots in the movie, all the actions of the tiger have a benchmark, and the tiger played by Li Xiaole is lifelike, it is simply the Bengal tiger named Richard Parker in the film~~
"Oh my God~~ We can make the best CG in the world, this tiger is wonderful~! It's wonderful~! Wu Wei held his head, ran excitedly in himself, shouted, and even twisted his body to dance Yangge......
Through the glass window, there were just a few Heifan employees who were about to come over to inquire about the work arrangement, and they were still nervously circling around the door, and they didn't know how to open their mouths to enter, and they saw that Mr. Wu, who was facing a straight face on weekdays, was extremely majestic and had a strange expression at the moment, shaking his head and shaking his head in the office...... Several people looked stupid, and one of the female employees stammered in fright and asked her companion's shoulder:
"It's scary~ Do you want to go to the infirmary and find someone to help...... Is this Mr. Wu too stressed, what kind of cult organization to throw off his arms and practice......"
Since this day, the crew has been on the right track, time has passed day by day, and as the progress is completed one by one as scheduled, this movie, which in everyone's eyes could never have been completed at the end of the year, has entered the end of the filming work, and all the goals that Li Xiaole announced before seem to be reaching one by one.
Although they have almost collapsed in the busy filming work, whether it is the actors, the crew, or the staff of Black Sails Studio, everyone is becoming more and more confident, and they all believe from the bottom of their hearts that this movie will definitely win countless applause in the near future~!!
What really struck people was that the film's cost was quietly out of control, and Li Xiaole made temporary changes to many of the sets during the shooting, while his pursuit of precision also cost the art, props and costume departments more and more time and money.
There are more than 600 portholes on the "Lancastria", each window needs a lamp, and there are also table lamps, wall lamps and other lighting required for the set, some on the water, some underwater, and all of them must be safe, and the grounding fault circuit breaker must be installed.
The crew purchased more than 40 miles of cable, more than 1,000 camera lights, and more than 100 set lights......
