"Yes, Mr. Hannah's technique of setting is very worth learning, the scenery of nature is shaped from ** or real materials, which will make the scenery look very harmonious and natural, and appear more realistic. Top Novel,"

Lin Yuquan looked at the set in front of him with satisfaction, and the Mr. Hannah in his mouth was Dan, the art director of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Hannah, who previously won the Academy Award for Best Art Direction for "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King." The sets of Ferretti and others were already great, but he was a lean man who naturally sought perfection, and after discovering that some of the sets were slightly less satisfying in terms of realism, he and Danty. Ferreti was very troubled by this, and later met the former Dan in the Stone Street studio. After Hannah left the props for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the set of King Kong, he had a flash of inspiration and referenced Dan. Hannah's method has now achieved the desired effect.

"Indeed, I didn't think of it!" Danti. Ferreti exclaimed.

"There is no end to learning, only continuous learning can be stronger, at least now you know?" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Ha, that's right, with this method, I'm going to refine the previous set in detail in the past two days." Danti. Ferreti laughed.

"Hmm." Lin Yuquan nodded, and then looked at Valei. Pfister and gaffer Charlotte. Green is leaving, it's about to shoot, and he needs to get all the preparations done before shooting.

was busy until the evening, Lin Yuquan and everyone called it a day, and after having dinner outside, they followed back to the hotel where the crew stayed collectively. Just got back to the room. He was getting ready to take a shower. I changed my clothes, and there was a knock on the door.

"Hey, Henry, what's there?" Lin Yuquan opened the door unhurriedly, and it was the staff from Summit Entertainment who knocked on the door.

"Boss, Mr. Serkis and Mr. Cumberbatch have arrived, would you like to meet?"

"Of course." Lin Yuquan nodded, although he could wait for others to visit, but his habit was to meet the main creator of the crew in person. Whether it's buying people's hearts or anything, that's his habit.

After asking about the room of the two, Lin Yuquan changed his clothes and went downstairs, the rooms of the two were on the 3rd floor, as the main creative actor of the crew, he lived in a suite with good hotel conditions.

Soon Lin Yuquan came to room 307 and knocked on the door twice in a calm and rhythmic manner.

"Ah, hello, Director. Why did you come in person, I should have visited you. "The door was opened by a black curl. The middle-aged man, who was not good-looking, looked surprised after seeing Lin Yuquan's figure.

"Hey, man, don't be so polite, okay? We're all natural, I don't think you want me to always call you Mr. Serkis, although this is only the second time we've met, but we can get along like friends, you can just call me Lin, if you don't mind, I'd rather call you Andy. ”

Lin Yuquan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile. Serkis, mentioning this name, may not be known to the vast majority of fans, because he is not a big-name Hollywood star, but if it is someone who knows about motion capture, it is absolutely impossible not to know him, it is he who played the role of "Grunt" in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy as a motion capture identity, which is the first role created by motion capture that impresses fans, and then he starred in "King Kong" as motion capture, once again creating a classic CG role, before him, Motion capture is just a purely technical job, and it is the interpretation of a series of expressive characters such as Guò Gulu and King Kong, which has turned it into a unique art.

Based on his deep impression of Gollummon and King Kong, when considering the role of Caesar, the ape race, Lin Yuquan's first thought was Andy. Serkis sent him an invitation to audition, and sure enough, in the audition, he showed extraordinary acting skills, from body language to facial expressions, to accents, completely overshadowed all the audition actors, and indisputably won the role of Caesar, the starring role in "Wild Story".

Although this has something to do with his starring role in "King Kong", the more important thing is Andy. Serkis spent more than two months at the London Zoo and four orangutans before the start of "King Kong", and then went to Rwanda to observe mountain gorillas.

"Of course, it's my pleasure, Lin, please come in." The middle-aged man did not shirk and said generously.

Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, walked into the room, and naturally sat on the sofa in the living room: "I originally thought that Andy would only arrive at the crew tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come today, what kind of hotel did you come to." ”

"I arrived at the hotel at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, although tomorrow is the day designated by the actor to report, I personally don't like to be in a hurry, and I don't have a busy business schedule like a star actor, so basically every time I go to the crew to report, I will arrive early." Andy. Serkis handed Lin Yuquan a bottle of soda and sat on the sofa opposite Lin Yuquan.

"It's similar to my habits, I usually like to do things early, and I don't like to do it in a hurry when it's over." Lin Yuquan looked at Andy appreciatively. Serkis, the actor he admires the most, is not affected by the flashy commercial activities and fame of modern society, quietly immersed in the world of acting, and an actor can only become a great actor if he does this, otherwise he is just a star actor.

"Andy, I have an idea, I want you to be the director of the film's performance capture, responsible for guiding the actors in the performance capture techniques."

"Performance capture director, can I do it? I hadn't done this before. "Andy. Serkis was surprised.

"Of course, you're the most suitable one, and there's no one in the crew who knows more about motion capture acting than you, and I can't think of anyone else but you." Lin Yuquan said with a smile that the actors recruited by the crew this time are especially the young actors recruited by New Zealand. Most of them have never been exposed to motion capture. If there is Andy. Serkis, an experienced actor, assisted. It will undoubtedly make the shooting of motion capture easier.

Andy. Serkis also smiled, revealing her snow-white teeth: "Since Lin you trust me and can get a double salary, I don't think I have any reason to refuse." ”

"Is money the most important thing? It seems that in the future, if I encounter a similar situation, I will just show the offensive of money, Andy, you have taught me a little more. Lin Yuquan had a teasing smile in his eyes.

"Hah!"

From Andy. Serkins came out of the room, and Lin Yuquan did not delay. Then he came to room 315 and, as before, knocked on the door twice.

"Hey, aren't you there?" Seeing that there was no reaction for a few seconds, Lin Yuquan's face was puzzled, and he knocked twice more, and increased his strength, but there was still no response.

"Maybe the other party is going out!" Thinking like this in his heart, Lin Yuquan successively greeted several ordinary actors who arrived early, and then to 315. When he found that the person was still not there, he prepared to return to his room.

"Huh!" Just out of the elevator door. When he came to the aisle, Lin Yuquan saw someone leaning against the wall outside his room, as if he was waiting for something, and the person was none other than Benedict, who he was going to see just now. Cumberbatch, a very long name, and Andy. Serkis, like him, is an English actor who, in "Wild Age", plays Eugene, the leader of the Giants, Caesar's worst enemy.

But with Andy. Serkis is different, Benedict. Cumberbatch is not a professional motion capture actor, he is mainly engaged in stage plays and TV movies, and in 04, he won the Best Actor Award at the 44th Monte Carlo International Television Festival for the TV movie "The Story of Stephen Hawking".

Speaking of which, it is very dramatic that he can star in "Wild Story", he was originally on vacation in Los Angeles after filming the TV movie "Stewart: Rewind Life" based on real events, and just during the period, "Wild Story" held an audition for the main creative actor, so he went to participate with the mentality of giving it a try, and unexpectedly, he succeeded in one fell swoop and won the role of Eugene from a group of competitors.

Of course, this is not a fluke, although he has not been exposed to motion capture, and his own appearance is not outstanding, but Benedict. Cumberbatch's acting skills are very superb and full of unique charm, and after some consideration, Lin Yuquan finally decided to play Eugene.

Lin Yuquan meets Benedict. Cumberbatch, Benedict. Cumberbatch naturally saw him too, and immediately straightened up and faced him.

"Hey, Benedict, when did you come?" Lin Yuquan has some tongue-twisting names for Benedict. Cumberbatch's name.

"Hello, director, I've just been here for a while." Benedict. Cumberbatch said respectfully, although he was already in his prime, he was not a well-known actor, and he still looked a little cramped when facing Lin Yuquan.

"Heh, I went to your room after seeing Andy just now, but you weren't there, so you ran away from me." Lin Yuquan smiled.

Benedict. Cumberbatch scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Let's talk to my room!" Lin Yuquan opened the door and said with a smile.

"Okay, director." Benedict. Cumberbatch nodded respectfully.

"Don't be so inhibited, I'm not a tiger or a lion or anything, we're going to work together for a long time, I think we can be friends, don't we? Just call me Lin. Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Okay, director." Benedict. Cumberbatch nodded respectfully again.

Lin Yuquan shook his head with a smile and didn't continue to say anything. Serkis's situation is different, Andy. Serkis is a long-time friend of Peter. Jackson dealt with, facing himself, naturally not too cramped, and standing in Benedict. Cumberbatch's point of view, although his attitude is kind, but due to various factors, it is not immediately adaptable, and it takes a period of subtle time.

"Come into the room and talk, I don't want to continue standing at the door and talking, I've always been curious about British stage plays, don't mind talking to me about this!"

"Okay, director."

"Hey, really."

The next day, after all the actors came to the crew to report, Lin Yuquan organized a welcome party in the evening, so that everyone could get to know each other, which was more conducive to future cooperative filming. Serkis is the motion capture director, and he will begin training the actors in motion capture performances with the collaboration of the Weta Digital crew.

When the entire crew of "Wild Story" was busy for the upcoming September 15 movie. The second week of the sale of "Wild Savage" and "Lunar Eclipse" also came to an end. During the week. "Wild Wild" and "Lunar Eclipse" continued to maintain strong sales momentum, dominating the bestseller lists, "Lunar Eclipse" sold about 303,000 copies in a week, with a total of 634,000 copies in two weeks, while "Wild Wild" also occupied the second place in the list, but sales increased from the first week, reaching about 241,000 copies, and a total of 466,000 copies in two weeks.

Such a momentum undoubtedly exceeded Lin Yuquan's expectations, and he thought it would take another while. "Wild Story" will usher in a sales boom with its excellent quality and reputation, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

However, he quickly figured out the key to it, in fact, this is ultimately because of the North American people's sense of authenticity, and why the DVD of popular movies in North America can sell tens of millions of copies, and the film company can achieve no less than or even more box office revenue, while the domestic film company has almost no profit in this regard, he predicts how North America can not travel according to the domestic shape, and his own popularity and influence are also important factors contributing to this result.

After discovering this, Lin Yuquan re-estimated the future sales of "Wild Story". suddenly found that in the end, it seemed that the sales of "Wild Story" would be a sales that even he found terrifying.

In fact, it was not just him, and the Bear Publishing House did not expect such a result. Although everyone knows what a wonderful and incredible novel "Wild Story" is, this is Lin Yuquan's first novel, and it is the second week of "Wild Story" on the market, such a result is simply appalling, and now it is popular all over the world, and the "Harry Potter" series, which has generated tens of millions of copies on the first day of listing, is far from "Wild Story" when it was first released in North America.

Not to mention new authors, even among well-known fiction authors, there are very few who can achieve such results in North America, such as J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, Dan. Brown, now Stephanie. There are absolutely only a handful of fiction writers like Mel.

Of course, it was unexpected, but such a result is definitely a joy to see, plus Stephanie. The phenomenal sales of Mel's "Eclipse of the Moon" enveloped the entire Little Bear Publishing House in an atmosphere of celebration, and everyone was full of confidence and fighting spirit.

At the same time, the mainland box office of "Crazy Racing", which has been screened for five weeks, has come to 123 million, and it is expected to hit the 130 million mark before the end, not only that, "Crazy Racing" landed in Hong Kong and Taiwan on August 15 and August 16, after 4 weeks of release, "Crazy Racing" once again refreshed Ning Hao's personal box office record in the two places, winning 6.8 million Hong Kong dollars and 37.5 million Taiwan dollars at the box office respectively, for a comedy film from the mainland, This kind of achievement is really a miracle, you must know that even Feng Bigang's movies are pitifully low in the two places, and almost all of the mainland films that can achieve extremely high box office in the two places are in the costume category, specifically Lin Yuquan and Zhang Yi, which also shows Ning Hao's status as a commercial director among mainland directors.

As the time approached September 15th, media reporters, Lin Yuquan's fans, happy people, many ordinary people, too many people's attention has gathered on that day, because that day is the day when Lin Yuquan's new book "Wild Story" was listed in the mainland, as Lin Yuquan's base camp, Lin Yuquan's number of fans in China and its own influence are naturally much higher than that of the United States, plus "Wild Story" has achieved unprecedented success in Chinese novels in North America, people are not only proud, but also what kind of novel "Wild Story" is, How wonderful it is, I am full of strong expectations.

That's right, Shuguang Publishing House, as Lin Yuquan's base camp, has been a key part of his plan in China from beginning to end, how could he hand over the publishing rights of "Wild Wild" and his future Xianxia novels in the mainland to others? Naturally, it is most reassuring to be operated by one's own people.

So as soon as the Spring Festival passed, before he went to the United States, he asked the domestic acquisition company that he had cooperated with before to acquire a high-quality publishing house with publishing novels as its main business for him, at this stage, the large domestic publishing houses are almost educational or comprehensive social science publishing houses, and the publishing houses that mainly publish novels are generally not large, so he easily won a publishing house with many years of publishing experience at a price of 30 million, and cooperated with his other companies in China to change to Shuguang Publishing House. Form a Dawn brand that represents him.

At the same time, there is also a game company that integrates game development and operation, this company is Shuguang Games, which is currently in the stage of independent operation, and the real role will have to wait until the "Wild Story" online game is listed, at least a year later, which is not to be talked about for the time being.

At present, the sales of domestic novels usually reach 1 million, which is an excellent achievement, such as Guo Jingming, a representative of post-80s writers, his "Phantom City", "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived", "Sadness Flows into a River" have exceeded one million sales, and each novel of Jk. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series has also exceeded one million in China, and further up, such as 3 million, 5 million is extremely miserable, and out of confidence in Lin Yuquan, and more importantly, out of confidence in the quality of "Wild Story", The first printing of Shuguang Publishing House alone is as high as 2 million copies, and the first printing alone is a number that countless novels can never reach.

In addition to the traditional book sales channels, Taobao, Shuguang, and Shuguang Cinemas will fully cooperate with the listing of "Wild Story".

In North America, "Wild Stories" sold 71,000 copies on the first day, 225,000 copies in the first week, and 241,000 copies in the second week. Is there any reason why Dawning Publishing House should not be looking forward to this?

Under Xiao Ran's planning, Chen Jiashang and Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Ye, Jiang Yan, Wang Luodan, Liu Yifei and the main creators began to frequently shuttle in the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan Various TV programs, magazines, newspaper interviews and commercial activities, and from September 15th, there will be four consecutive public screenings in Kyoto, Rongcheng, Shanghai, and Yangcheng.

All the qiē points to that September 15 that is both ordinary and so special. (To be continued......)

ps:It seems that there is no big effect in the past two days after a single chapter.,It's really frustrating but it seems to be the result.,Could it be that friends who read books in other places basically don't save zài?
