"Zhu Xian" does not only use self-developed advanced stereo cameras and perfect preview technology. Similarly, motion capture technology is used to record fleeting expressions and other technologies.

Motion capture technology has been used in the world for more than a decade, but unlike other films, "Zhu Xian" uses "motion capture" technology, which requires the actors to wear tights full of capture points during filming, and a set of "co-working cameras" are also set up in the film studio to complete the work. The system consists of 140 digital cameras spread across the roof of the studio, creating a capture stage. The camera tracks the reflection of the near-infrared spectrum from the LED lights on the scene, transmits the captured data to a system, and then combines the reflection of the spectrum with the movement of the actor to obtain a three-dimensional model of the entire lens. This data is then mapped to post-production computer processing to give the CG scene a highly realistic look.

For example, there are a large number of monsters and fairy beasts in "Zhu Xian", if you directly use computer post-production, then these monsters and fairy beasts will look a little stiff and old-fashioned, lacking a trace of aura. Therefore, for every demon beast or fairy beast, Chen Feng is played by a real person wearing green clothes, and the background is made of CG. Compared with previous movies that use motion capture technology, "Zhu Xian" reduces the unique clumsiness of motion capture, and many scenes make people mistakenly think that they are shot by a real beast, and the lifelike monsters and fairy beasts make the crew have to marvel at the exquisite production of "Zhu Xian".

Similarly, in "Zhu Xian", 60% of the shots use "performance capture" technology. "Performance Capture" is very similar to "Motion Capture", except that the former can fully capture the body movements and even facial expressions of the actors, combining live performance images with computer animation, so that the shapes and expressions of the animated characters are closer to those of real people. Actors can even freely fit into different roles and combine with roles with different identities to create a broader performance space.

"Zhu Xian" uses an innovative facial capture headset, with a camera device on the head of each actor performing the "performance capture". At the heart of the headset is a miniature HD camera just inches away from the actor's face. It can record the most subtle facial expressions of the actor with a wide-angle lens, and transmit 95% of the actor's facial movements to the virtual character in the computer, so that the final computer-generated CG character is indistinguishable from a live actor.

"Chen Feng, can this thing really take pictures of facial expressions without any drops?" Ye Rong picked up a headset and asked with some novelty.

"Of course, it's not 100 percent, but it's 95 percent." Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh a little when he saw that Ye Rong was as novel and excited as getting a fun toy.

"Isn't that the embarrassing side of us also filmed?" Xiao Wanqing stood aside and suddenly interjected.

Hearing Xiao Wanqing say this, all the women were stunned.

Yes, if your embarrassed side is photographed, then it won't be embarrassing in the future.

The headgear, which I thought was interesting just now, was immediately thrown aside by the women like garbage.

Seeing a few women throwing their headgear on the table as if they were facing a great enemy, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect the women to think like this.

Looking at the headgear that was thrown on the table, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, 'Hey, woman, I can't guess your thoughts, and I can't afford to hurt you!' ’

Although due to the needs of filming, the girls finally put on the equipment, but it was only for the needs of the movie, once the filming was over, they immediately threw the equipment aside, and they didn't look at it, and during the shooting, the facial expressions were also carefully controlled, for fear that there would be any embarrassing expressions. …,

After a period of busy work, the motion capture scene has been filmed today.

Chen Feng asked the assistant director: "Is it okay to shoot this effect?" ”

"Very good." The assistant director replied with a smile: "Actually, I think it's okay for the first time, you have to reshoot it a few times, and if you want me to say that this is just a very ordinary picture, don't you pay so much attention to it?" ”

Chen Feng shook his head: "Every corner of the movie "Zhu Xian", even if you can't sit and wait for perfection, you must also be close to the extreme we can do. ”

The assistant director said: "Then you have to be mentally prepared, if you really want to be as good as the shot just now...... Then I think your budget is going to be far more than you have to do this time. ”

Chen Feng nodded with a wry smile, and then said: "I have thought of all these questions, but since I have already said that there is no cap on investment, then I will not take it back, so be it." After saying this, he arranged the crew and actors next to him, ready to start the next shooting.

When the day's filming is over, after Chen Feng has explained a few words, he will be with Ye Rong, whispering some words, exchanging feelings, and how to communicate feelings, the two Xiaobai communicated for a few days.

Chen Feng thinks that like other couples, watching movies, eating, shopping or something. However, Ye Rong said that there was nothing new and rejected Chen Feng's proposal. Moreover, Ye Rong also glanced at Chen Feng and said, "This place is not in front of the village and there is no store in the back, where do you go to watch movies, go shopping, there are meals, and there are many in the canteen." ”

Chen Feng thinks about it, the actual situation does not allow it, it seems that a great man in his previous life said well, 'truth needs to be practiced', and it is necessary to seek truth from facts.

In the end, the two discussed it and unanimously decided to go to the top of the mountain to see the night. Therefore, every night, after Chen Feng was done, he would go to the top of the mountain with Ye Rong to sit and watch the moonlight or something.

Although everyone felt a little strange that Chen Feng and Yerong were rarely seen at night, no one went to investigate, the day's shooting was already very tiring, who didn't want to sleep comfortably after finishing the work in hand. However, one person noticed.

A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Chen Feng and Ye Rong who gradually disappeared into the night, their eyes were as plain as water, and no one knew what she was thinking in her heart. In the past few days, Chen Feng's small life has been very moist, although it is a little hard to shoot "Zhu Xian" during the day, but at night, with the love of Yerong, I don't feel any hardship.

In the past few days, Chen Feng has been using a special virtual camera to shoot "Zhu Xian", and Chen Feng is very satisfied with this specially developed virtual camera. With this virtual camera, not only can you preview the footage that has already combined the actors' performances and the virtual set, but also lay out all the camera movements that the director wants. In this process, the movement trajectory can be captured by the system and synthesized into the post-image processing. Relying on this magical set of equipment, Chen Feng makes himself move freely in the CG world, making the picture present as if it were a real shot.

Chen Feng believes that the special effects of "Zhu Xian" will surpass any previous movie, and the king of special effects will be recorded in the honor of "Zhu Xian".
