183 New Energy Era
After the press conference of "Sinking Country" ended in the slightly sparse voice of reporters, a group of actors, led by the staff of the film and television base, passed the palm print verification one by one and entered the special effects room.
Looking at the slightly empty hall and the various new machines shining around it, everyone couldn't help but freeze in place.
"This is where we're going to shoot in the future?"
Standing in the middle of the hall, as the most senior of these actors, martial arts superstar Jackie Chan looked up at the unknown instruments above and said curiously.
Like everyone else, when I came before, Jackie Chan, Tony Leung and other A-list celebrities signed a special filming contract, and also signed a confidentiality agreement, and they were not allowed to disclose any information about the interior of the special effects room to the outside world until they received AACC's permission.
Therefore, they are more curious about the shooting of this trip.
And unlike in the past, this time they must eat and live in the manor in accordance with the requirements of Bluegrass Media, and ensure that they are on call, which is completely different from the previous shooting method when they only had their own scenes and could run other announcements at other times.
Of course, the reason why he agreed to such conditions is also related to the remuneration and other guarantees given by Li Mo.
According to the contract, each of them only needs to stay on the set for a month at most.
"In a month, nearly 200 pages of scripts, they are really confident."
Looking at the official script taken from the staff of Lancao Media, another martial arts superstar, Donnie Yen, shook his head and sighed while flipping through the script, "I hope this company is not burning money to play this time." β
β¦
"Guys, welcome to Phantom Effects Studios."
Just as these preliminary guests were looking at the script or wandering around the filming area, Haiming, who was the head of the special effects team, and several other people came over with some equipment and greeted, "I am the head of the special effects team, Haiming, before filming, we need to collect some actors' appearance information for the production of character models in the film, please wear these items as required." β
As he spoke, several members of the special effects team handed each of them a simple piece of equipment that resembled a bulletproof vest and helmet.
"Should I say you're more advanced than those overseas special effects companies, or are you weird..."
Getting such a device, the leading brother Jackie Chan half-jokingly, "I probably understand what I want to do, but people just take some patches and put them on their bodies, and then connect the computer and then do the action." β
"Is it like making an Avatar?"
Hearing this, several other actors on the side immediately understood.
"That's pretty much it, and you'll understand when the time comes."
Hemming wanted to boast that he was "more advanced than them", but in the end he held back, since everyone was still so skeptical, he also wanted to see what these big names would look like when they saw the level of their studio.
"Oh, by the way, what about Li Mo?"
Unlike the others, Han Xiuyin, who had already done a shooting here, put it on without the slightest doubt after receiving the equipment, and then looked at the members around her, and suddenly felt a little empty.
After waiting for a while, she realized the source of this empty feeling - not that there were few people at the scene, but that Li Mo had never been seen.
In the past, at this time, he should have appeared here early, not to mention that today is the first day of the start of the new movie, and it seems that he has never seen his senior Li Mo appear since the opening ceremony.
"Mr. Li still has some logistical matters to deal with, so he will hand over the affairs here to us and the Lancao media staff."
Knowing that the girl in front of him had an unusual relationship with his immediate boss, Hai Ming replied in a polite tone.
"Oh."
Hearing this, Han Xiuyin nodded, feeling a little pity in her heart, she has always been dressed in ancient costumes, and today she finally had the opportunity to change into modern clothes and appear on the camera, and she originally wanted to get Li Mo's evaluation, but the other party disappeared again.
"Alright, please stand here, let's start the first step of actor data collection."
Regardless of spending too much time, Hemming immediately arranged for someone to take the actors to a projection device to start the next step.
For a month, Rao didn't need to transfer scenes, didn't need to arrange large props, but he didn't leave much time, as the main force of both technology and shooting, Haiming was also under great pressure.
β¦
At another location, AACC's first energy plant, Umei-type Energy, is located on a hill.
"Plate Reception Normal"
"The substation room is normal"
"The conveyor line is normal"...
Standing in the monitoring room of the energy plant, the walkie-talkie in Li Mo's hand came from time to time with reports from various departments.
The logistics work in Hemming's mouth refers to here.
Compared with the filming of the film, the official use of the energy plant is undoubtedly something more worthy of Li Mo's concern.
In the time that the actors signed the contract and then rushed to the estate, thousands of solar panels had been installed, like a jet-black scarf around the hill, receiving the unobstructed sunlight.
In addition, in the surrounding valleys, Li Mo has also planted nearly 100 wind turbines of all sizes, which, together with this solar power plant, transmit new electricity to the manor at the foot of the mountain.
If nothing else, this will be responsible for all the power supply tasks after the filming of "Fallen Nation" begins.
"How's your preparation going?"
After receiving reports from all parties, Li Mo immediately dialed Haiming, the head of the phantom special effects room, and asked in a deep voice.
"Data collection is underway, and it is expected that the first act comprehensive scenario test will begin in five minutes."
Hemming's voice on the phone was equally calm.
Although I have done some tests separately before, it is the first time that the entire shooting scene is fully displayed with the equipment at the same time, but the confidence in his own technology and his trust in Li Mo make Haiming not worry too much about this.
"Got it." β
Immediately, Li Mo put down the phone, took the walkie-talkie and ordered, "Start the solar panel!" β
"Start the solar panel!"
After a repetition, within a few seconds, Li Mo only felt that his eyes were suddenly dizzy.
But he quickly recovered from this dizziness, and his eyes were fixed on the surveillance equipment in front of him.
As the order was issued, I saw that the solar panels, which were still static, began to slowly deflect like Xiang Yuekui, and at the best angle to meet the position of the sun above.
And the dizziness just now also comes from the dazzling sunlight reflected to the lens when these devices automatically find the angle.
"It's spectacular!"
In addition to Li Mo, some of the other staff members can also see the external solar panel concentration area through the monitor, and when they see these neatly arranged equipment in front of them automatically adjust their orientation like soldiers, almost all of them have the same feeling in their hearts.
"The departments continue to report on their respective situations."
Picking up the walkie-talkie, Li Mo continued to order.
Now that I have finally waited for this most critical part, I hope I will not disappoint myself.
While looking forward to it in his heart, Li Mo sat quietly on the chair, waiting for the replies of all parties.
Fortunately, in the following report, there were no accidents, and the reply of each work department was "everything is normal".
The rest depends on the special effects room, so you can start shooting normally without using the electricity generated here.
"It's ready here, and you're ready to go."
Looking at his watch, there was still about half a minute away from the preparation time mentioned by Hai Ming just now, and after confirming that the light energy equipment was operating normally, Li Mo quickly called and informed.
At this moment, he can also see that the entire transmission line has been filled with blue symbolizing electricity, which is why the electricity from the solar energy ** is flowing continuously to the manor under the mountain.
"Understood!"
After receiving Li Mo's notice and handing over the imminent completion of the collection work to the deputy, Hai Ming ran to the three-layer comprehensive ** area almost at a sprint speed and began to carry out the next work as a commander.
"Actors, please go back to the waiting area, actors, please go back to the waiting area, and the first act scene testing is about to begin."
After giving the command through the amplification device, Hemming sat down in front of his device, tapping his fingers on the keyboard of the device.
"Click"
After a loud sound, the headlights in the entire steel special effects room were almost completely turned off, and only a glimmer of light remained in the waiting area where Lancao Media and the actors were.
Then, everyone was horrified to find that they suddenly appeared in an unknown wasteland, all kinds of unknown birds and beasts passed by their sides or overheads, raising puffs of smoke, through these smokes, they could even see unique buildings firing wildly in their directions!
"Ah~"
Suddenly, one of the actresses was even so frightened by the sudden appearance of a serpentine freak that she almost got up and ran towards the clearing.
"Don't be afraid, this is our dynamic camera equipment."
As if he was slightly sorry for his little prank, Hemming said into the microphone.
At this moment, in addition to these technicians who can see the whole set, even those personnel of Bluegrass Media are deeply immersed in the test scene and are shocked.
If they hadn't been warned in advance, they might have instinctively run towards what seemed safe, and it was all too real.
Compared with these actors who have experienced such filming techniques for the first time, Han Xiuyin can be regarded as having some experience, but even so, she was once again surprised by the deep technical level of AACC.
If the previous shooting of Fog Man was similar to using projection to make a curtain background, then this time it can really be said that he directly threw people to the heterotopic plane, which is simply a direct crossing!
Looking at a beast that suddenly appeared in front of him, Donnie Yen made a fighting posture, as if he was eager to try, but then he thought of something, "These things shouldn't be touchable, right?" β
"You can give it a try."
In this regard, Hemming did not reply directly, but suggested.
"Brush"
In this case, Donnie Yen Dansuo directly punched the monster in front of him and hit the faΓ§ade directly.
"Knock Knock"
Unexpectedly, just when he thought he would be empty, he only felt as if his fist had really touched something, and then the monster in front of him let out a wail, turned his head and ran into the distance.
"The dynamic perception system was successfully turned on."
Hemming then muttered to himself.
In fact, according to the program, he can also control the virtual monster to get up and fight back against the opponent Donnie Yen, but it is still only the testing stage, and there is no need to move it directly.
And according to the setting, this kind of perceptual effect is also limited to the degree, and the maximum effect is only to make people vaguely feel twisted, without hurting the muscles and bones.
The existence of this special effect not only meets the safety needs of the actors, but also allows martial arts actors like Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan to maximize their strength without worrying about kicking bad equipment or other actors, and at the same time, it also increases the sense of substitution, without the need to create virtual enemies through their own fantasies and then rely on post-production technology to add.
Of course, such a powerful special effects technology is also inseparable from the terrifying energy consumption, every actual contact, almost means that hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity disappear instantly, plus other holographic projection, sound special effects equipment, is even more terrifying.
It's just that this kind of consumption is probably only in Li Mo's heart.
βokγβ
Seeing that the people below had already overcome their fears and began to try to touch all kinds of items around them, Hai Ming also seemed to be encouraged, and directly picked up the phone and dialed Li Mo's number, and said with a little excitement, "**OSS, everything is going well, the effect is very good!"
