Chapter 287: Happy Cooperation
In order to facilitate Liu Yufan's creation, Times Records opened an office for him from the company alone. Although it is not as big and luxurious as Li Yi's vice presidents, it has an area of more than 40 square meters, and telephone, computer, printing, and fax are all available, which can be regarded as a lot of effort.
Early the next morning, the artist that Director Zhang said came to the door. This young man with long hair and a pair of black-framed glasses looks a few years older than Liu Yufan, and he has the same surname as Lao Mouzi, called Zhang Hao. Liu Yufan doesn't know if this guy is related to Lao Mouzi. Because the other party's age looks too young. You must know that Lao Mouzi has always been picky in employing people, if he doesn't have any real skills under his hands, he can't look down on him. And the other party is so young, even if he was born to study art, how thick does he have?
However, when the two of them really cooperated, Liu Yufan really realized his awesomeness.
"Well, the ship should be the kind of three-masted galleon, with a black hull throughout, a streamlined design, a high bow, and huge gun muzzles on both sides...... According to his own recollections, Liu Yufan described the appearance of the "Black Pearl".
I saw that with his words, Zhang Hao's hand quickly held half a charcoal pen and sketched on a piece of sketch paper. His strokes are affirmative, the lines are smooth, and the paintings are very dynamic. Liu Yufan only glanced at it a few times, and then his eyes fell on the drawing paper and couldn't be removed anymore.
He has seen a lot of paintings on the spot, and he has also seen sketch master painting, but it is really rare to reach Zhang Hao's level. Those casually drawn lines seem simple, but there is an infinite artistic conception when you look closely, and Zhang Hao paints very fast, as long as Liu Yufan describes a detail, he only needs to think about it a little, and he will quickly put down the pen, and the details drawn, even if they are not exactly the same as Liu Yufan imagined. But it's not far off. Liu Yufan reminded him again, after Zhang Hao's rapid revision, it was very expressive.
"This guy is awesome!" Liu Yufan watched Zhang Hao paint and sighed in his heart. Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, and if you achieve a certain degree in any industry, you can sublimate your work into an art. At present, Zhang Hao's painting process is full of artistic sense in Liu Yufan's eyes!
The two of them talked and painted, but it was just over half an hour. A sideways "Black Pearl" pirate ship jumped on the page. Looking at the "Black Pearl" that was almost exactly the same as what he imagined, and even more perfect than he imagined in many details, Liu Yufan's eyes were a little straight. Looking at this sketch from a distance, it looks like it was taken with a black and white camera. It's so similar!
"Zhang Gong, amazing! Sketching can be painted on your part, it's really a ghostly skill. Liu Yufan gave Zhang Hao a thumbs up and sighed convincingly.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just some basic skills. It's the image of your pirate ship, it's very exciting, this ship is really beautiful, mainly thanks to your imagination. Zhang Hao waved his hand.
"Zhang Gong, you are too polite. Or your painting skills! Liu Yufan said to him with a smile.
"Hehe, let's not be polite to each other, Yufan, do you see if there is anything that needs to be changed? If not, I'll scan it to my computer for post-processing. Zhang Hao said with a smile.
"Huh? I still have to deal with it, I thought it was done? In my opinion, the painting is already a finished product. Liu Yufan felt a little unbelievable and said.
"Huh. It's just a sketch, and it's far from it. Zhang Hao said, and after making sure that Liu Yufan had no details to modify, he scanned the picture into the computer with a scanner.
I have to say that the computer that the company has equipped Liu Yufan with is too high-end, considering that he wants to make a picture, not only with the highest-end 256M SDRAM memory, but also with an additional riva?tnt2 graphics card. If it weren't for this configuration, I am afraid that I would not be able to run Photoshop 5.5, the most popular image processing software on the market. …,
Seeing that Zhang Hao opened the picture swept into the computer with Photoshop, his fingers moved on the computer keyboard like a convulsion.
Zoom in, color palette, render effects, layer manipulation, ...... Almost most of the instructions are given by the keyboard. The fast hand speed made Liu Yufan sigh. If this guy goes to play the piano, I'm afraid he is also a very powerful piano expert, not to mention anything else, just look at the flexible ten fingers. It's breathtaking!
Once, Liu Yufan also studied a period of photoshop software, but he only knew a little bit about it, and he even had to go to the menu for a long time to find an order, compared with Zhang Hao, he was obviously an amateur and couldn't be more amateurish. Zhang Hao's operation of this software is absolutely masterful.
With his dazzling operation, the picture, which was already perfect in Liu Yufan's opinion, changed again.
The colors of the hull gradually became richer and more realistic, and the texture came out. In addition, environmental elements such as the deep blue sea, splashing waves, dazzling lightning, and pouring rain curtains are added to the background, which suddenly brings out the feeling of a pirate ship.
Looking at this super real picture, Liu Yufan was already dumbfounded. Today, he finally saw the power of the art master. If the painting on the paper before still looks like a very expressive black and white photo, then the picture on the computer at this moment is completely a hyper-real "photo", looking at the "Black Pearl" that seems to be rushing out of the computer screen, Liu Yufan no longer knows how to describe the surprise in his heart.
"How about it, Yufan, you're still satisfied." Seeing Liu Yufan fascinated, Zhang Hao was also very proud. Any artist hopes that his work can be recognized by others, and Liu Yufan's expression at this moment is obviously the best recognition of this work.
"Satisfied, so satisfied, Zhang Gong, what a miracle!" Liu Yufan said with admiration.
"Hehe, you're too polite, Yufan, are there any other images that need to be designed?" Zhang Gong asked with a smile on his face.
"Well, yes, there are some characters." Liu Yufan said, and began to recall the classic captain Jack in his mind. The image of Sparrow.
The two worked together for two days and finally completed the creation of the image of the minister. During this period, Liu Yufan was certainly impressed by Zhang Hao's miraculous craftsmanship, and Zhang Hao was also amazed by Liu Yufan's endless whimsy. Those vivid characters surprised him, an artist. You must know that no matter how good an artist's painting skills are, he is only a senior craftsman at best, and being able to create an independent and distinctive character image is the leap of an artist from a craftsman to a master. And what I lack is undoubtedly this.
He didn't know that the reason why Liu Yufan was able to pull out so many plump characters from his mind at once was that there was a prototype to refer to, but the time when these images appeared would be a few years later than now.
Of course, Liu Yufan couldn't have imagined it, because his appearance advanced the birth time of this classic movie. Of course, that's all what happened after that.
Two days later, Director Zhang arrived as scheduled and saw the sketches that Liu Yufan and Zhang Hao collaborated on, and Zhang Yimou was also amazed. He has always been known for his strict requirements, and he can't find anything wrong with these masterpieces.
When he handed Liu Yufan the script of the MV, Liu Yufan was also surprised. You know, he has watched "Pirates of the Caribbean", so he can design those images, but the director Zhang in front of him has never seen that classic movie. But the several bridges designed in this script are all in line with the spirit of this movie. Liu Yufan can fully feel that if his MV is filmed according to this script, he will definitely add at least 50% of the score to the original song! This rendition of the he'sapirate by the piano will definitely surpass the violin version of the later generations and become a true classic! …,
"It's really a big deal!" After reading the script, Liu Yufan sighed.
"How is it, Yufan, do you have any comments on the book?" Seeing that Liu Yufan put down the script with some emotion, Zhang Yimou looked at him and asked.
"No, Director Zhang, what this book didn't say, it's really good. It's just that,If you shoot according to the requirements of this book.,The cost will definitely be very high.。 Liu Yufan asked with some concern.
"Yufan, you don't have to think about the cost, the company will go all out." When Liu Yufan asked this sentence, Li Yi interjected on the side. For this MV, Times Records was originally positioned as its turnaround and promotion work, and naturally spared no expense and only sought the best.
"Well, I also told you before, Yu Fan, one of the most important principles of my filming is to do my best! The issue of cost is not something I think about. Director Zhang also looked at Liu Yufan and said.
"Okay, Director Zhang, Mr. Li, then let's create a miracle together." Liu Yufan said proudly.
"I'm looking forward to it!" Director Zhang said with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to Liu Yufan, and the hands of the two people were tightly clasped together.
This handshake was also called a "legendary" handshake in the entertainment industry in later generations. Because it was this "handshake" that laid the foundation for the fame of the legendary music master Liu Yufan, and it was precisely because of this cooperation that the three words Liu Yufan really entered the sight of the entertainment industry.
Once the script and details were finalized, the filming of "He's a Pirate" began to enter the intensive preparation stage.
