Chapter 165: The First in History
"Okay, let's go, there's nothing to hear, anyway, the whole of America knows that Resident Evil is going to be released during Christmas, so let's go to the cinema and see yourself then!" Harry was proud of his foresight, quietly stood up, and walked back.
"Hey, Harry, wait for me!" Seeing Harry get up, Emma hurriedly shouted and hurried to follow.
Pushing the door away, Harry looked back, Zhou Shaoming was still talking and laughing with Mira, and he didn't notice the two who left.
Walking out of McDonald's and looking at the deep and enchanting night sky, Harry straightened his arms: "Wow, this Hollywood night is so beautiful!" ”
Emma didn't answer, just poked him in the waist.
"What's wrong?" Harry looked back in confusion.
"Hey, there's someone!" Emma said with a serious expression, her eyes drifting to the wide, bright floor-to-ceiling windows of McDonald's not far away.
"People? Who? Harry said strangely, following her gaze.
The diminutive guy in a black T-shirt with a huge camera in his hand was sneaking his way at Smith Chow and Mila as they sat inside.
"Paparazzi!" The two whispered in unison.
From the angle of the two of them, it happened to be seen that Zhou Shaoming drank a sip of milk, leaving some residue on his lips, while Mira Jiao smiled and took a tissue and helped him wipe it away with an affectionate attitude.
And the corner of the little man's mouth showed a yin smile, and his hand slapped continuously, recording that scene.
"He took pictures of Smith Chow and Mira!" Harry, as a die-hard fan of director Smith Chow, saw that the paparazzi were secretly photographing his idol, and he didn't know what more gossip would appear in the tabloids tomorrow, and his face suddenly looked bad.
And after the paparazzi took the photo, he immediately put away the camera and left, looking at his brisk steps and lewd smile, I don't know what dark and boring things are being arranged in my heart.
"Can't let him go! Harry! Emma overheard the conversation between Zhou Shaoming and Mila, and had long decided that they were just colleagues, and she was relieved that she no longer thought that Smith Zhou was a flowery man, and the desire to maintain idols prevailed, and hurriedly said to Harry.
"Got it." Harry agreed, and without thinking about it, he ran up and slammed into the man like a gust of wind!
"Ahh The paparazzi was caught off guard and was slammed to the ground by Harry from behind, screaming in embarrassment, and the camera in his hand flew away.
Knocking the man to the ground, Harry quickly got up, picked up the camera and threw it to Emma, who was catching up, and shouted loudly, "Run!" ”
The paparazzi struggled to get up, saw a teenager snatching his camera, and scolded anxiously: "**! You damn boy, give me back the camera! Stop for Lao Tzu! ”
And Harry and Emma had already run away, and Emma even turned around and grimaced at the paparazzi, and the two burst into laughter and ran away without a trace-
Zhou Shaoming didn't know that two of his fans helped him solve a little trouble, and the next day he was as energetic as ever and filmed "Resident Evil". This movie, which pinned his high hopes on him, cannot leave any flaws because of his carelessness, which will affect the box office results.
This is not the first time that CG technology Putergraphic has been used in movie special effects, but the representative CG characters in film history are from the famous super blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings" in the "Gollum", although the new line film company rejected Zhou Shaoming's "Chainsaw", but their gamble of putting all their investment on "The Lord of the Rings" was successful, Zhou Shaoming knew that in 2001, the first part of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings Appears", The harmonious coexistence of this virtual hobbit and real people in one film is really due to the outstanding contribution of computer CG technology.
In the "Lord of the Rings" series, those amazing landscapes of different regions are the product of the crew's actual shooting, modeling, and keying techniques, and compared with the simple "computer people" in "Titanic", the virtual "extras" in "The Lord of the Rings", each character has a complete set of actions, so a scene similar to "a hundred people with the same hands and feet" will never appear here in "The Lord of the Rings".
And Zhou Shaoming is a stingy person, the new line film company rejected him, he didn't plan to make the original world's "Lord of the Rings" first full CG character "Gollum" specialize in the front, and now, he wants to snatch the first in film history, that is, in his own "Resident Evil", the first CG character in the history of human films will be born, and the most **oss "licker" in the zombie world
And the first person to play the first person in the history of this movie, the most terrifying monster in the biochemical world, is a thirty-three-year-old ordinary person in New Jersey who won the "Night of the Zombies", Carol, a car mechanic.
Carol has a kind of special temperament that makes people feel gloomy, decadent, and a sense of danger is approaching as soon as they see it, and in the last finals that Zhou Shaoming participated in, Carroll made Director Smith Chow fall in love at first sight, and personally decided to hand over the role of "Licker" to him, making him the final winner of this sensational national reality show.
His thin face was pale, a little narrow, his eye bags were a little big, the dark circles under his eyes were still like that no matter how long he slept in them, the whole person was one shoulder high and one shoulder low, crooked, and he always liked to hide in a gloomy place.
Although in ordinary life, this guy can pretend to be a ghost in the middle of the night without makeup, but in the movie, this special and hard-to-find temperament is the norm for zombies.
Right now, Zhou Shaoming is sitting next to Carol, watching his face being plastered with metal sensors one after another by the staff of "Industrial Light and Magic".
In the entire studio, green cloth is installed, and the background behind the characters in the movie is synthesized by computers, and in the studio, only Carol has to fantasize about the plot she is facing, so as to make different actions.
In the studio, various WIA equipment was also installed so that Carol could fly away and do anything.
"These are sensors, they can capture every subtle movement on Carol's face and present it on the computer, and we apply these movements to our CG character "Licker" to make it dynamic and alive. Assistant visual effects director Stefale hugged his chest and stood beside Zhou Shaoming, who was frowning, and explained.
"I've heard that New Line Films' Lord of the Rings is also going to use this technology? They want to create the first all-CG character in history? Zhou Shaoming turned his head and asked, then casually ordered a cigar and handed one to Stefale.
"Thank you." Stefal thanked him and then answered Zhou Shaoming's question: "Yes, www.xstxt.orgieselkirk and Richardtaylor created visual effects production for feature films and commercials. They were working for Peter Jackson. ”
"Oh? So, then Industrial Light & Magic should be able to outperform the New Zealand company, right? Zhou Shaoming smiled playfully and spit out a big smoke ring.
The industrial light and magic staff who were sticking metal sensors for Carol were very unhappy with Zhou Shaoming's uncertain attitude, and couldn't help but say a little angrily: "As long as Industrial Light & Magic wants to, they can't get the first place in the history of this movie." The question is whether Director Smith Chow is willing to shell out more dollars and let us get ahead of them and do this first! ”
"Haha, it's still sinful money!" Zhou Shaoming flicked off the cigarette ash and couldn't help laughing: "As long as Stefal agrees, as long as the movie has this need, I am willing to throw money into it!" I don't want the epic blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings" to be predominant, we want to be the first in this history! ”
"ILM won't let you down!" The staff member listened to Zhou Shaoming's words, and the angry expression on his face began to ease, but he was still extremely proud.
"Haha, then let's make history, not others!" Zhou Shaoming patted the staff member on the shoulder and said to Carol, who had been sitting in the chair, "Hey, man, how are you feeling now?" ”
"Not good...... These things stuck to my face and made me very uncomfortable. "Carol is not a bad guy like his looks, on the contrary, he is a little cowardly, a little cowardly, this game is still his friend to help him register, and then push and pull to force him to play, but I didn't expect Carol to calm down, but the performance is so good.
Until she sat in this chair with metal sensors all over her face, Carol felt that all this was a little unreal, and she was always in a trance.
"Don't worry, just behave well!" Stefal said encouragingly, squeezing his fist lightly with him.
At the same time, there are four cameras on Carol's side that are aimed at him at all angles for real-time shooting, and the props are made of metal in order to catch the sensors on his body.
In a short time, his face, hands, body and legs were equipped with sensors in key areas.
"These sensors capture motion into the computer, Mr. Smith Chow, take a look." Stefal said, pointing to the computer screen.
When Zhou Shaoming heard the prestige, a chaotic point of light appeared in the computer, vaguely in the shape of a person.
Stefal confidently pointed to the computer and said to Carol, "Hey man, get up and move".
Carol got up when he heard this, and moved his hands and feet at will, and the light spots on the computer also moved, exactly the same as the actions he did.
