Chapter 571: Kidney Machine Concept Edition

readx;

"Smartphones?"

Flipping through the Apple Concept in his hand, Duke leaned back in his chair and looked at Steve? Jobs, "Is this the next generation of Apple's staple product?" ”

Steve? Jobs nodded, perhaps because there were more interests involved with Duke, and the businessman had a temperament, and his attitude seemed much better than before, and he rarely showed a smile and said, "How do you feel?" ”

"Pretty good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Duke placed on the table between him and Steve Jobs, "I believe that in the future it will be popular all over the world." ”

"Inevitably." Steve? Jobs was always full of confidence.

Although he hadn't used it before, Duke was sure that this was basically the first generation of kidney machines, but listening to Jobs, the phone was still in the experimental improvement stage, and it was still early to go on sale.

Of course, if the phone were to hit the market, Duke would rather stick with his custom Nokia, which, while it all had all the most advanced technology available today, was nowhere near as good as any knock-off smartphone he'd ever seen.

According to Steve? Jobs's introduction generation only supports the 2G network connection provided by AT&T, which is easy to lose packets and drop lines, not to mention, the key is that the network speed is like a turtle, which is comparable to the torture of dial-up Internet access in the past.

"Duke, you're good at sci-fi movies and you're always full of whimsy." Jobs suddenly asked, "What do you think could be improved on this phone?" ”

Seeing that Jobs rarely asked this question, Duke couldn't help frowning, and recalled for a long time before saying, "Steve." I think it's perfectly possible to put RE on this smartphone. ”

RE is part of RE,It is a service software for many Apple devices,Allows users to browse and download some applications specially developed for Apple devices from RE,Users can purchase paid items and free items,Let the application be downloaded directly to their own Apple terminals。 Includes games, calendars, translators, gallery and lots of useful software.

Jobs' eyes lit up immediately, but he didn't get too excited, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”

"This concept machine can't change the background too much, only the black color of the system setting." Duke had a rare opportunity to show off in front of Steve Jobs, and he was Apple's majority shareholder. In the future, the better the kidney machine sells, the more profit he will naturally make, "The system does not have a copy and paste function, and it cannot be wired with the computer by wireless means, and there is no navigation." The camera pixel is too low to record directly......"

Duke said, and Jobs nodded, "I really didn't expect that." Duke, you have such a deep understanding of mobile phones, and what you propose is indeed the lack of concept phones, and it is also the technology that needs to be improved in the future. ”

"Future?" Duke was slightly surprised.

"Future, of course," Steve? Jobs said as a matter of course. "My plan is to launch a new model every once in a while and then change some of the corresponding features. For example, we can add RE to the second-generation machine, increase the entertainment function of the third-generation machine, and completely update the camera ...... the fourth-generation machine."

He spread his hands and said, "Users will only pay for Apple's products if the features are continuously improved." One rollout. It is in no way in Apple's interest. ”

Hearing this, Duke couldn't help but nod heavily. Steve? Steve Jobs was a businessman and definitely a model for him to learn.

When leaving. Duke originally wanted to take a concept machine, but he didn't use it himself, and gave it to Scarlett? Johnson was also good as a toy, but was taken by Steve? Jobs sternly refused.

Duke didn't care, after all, this is a product in the development stage, and secrecy is a must.

With a heart for Steve? Jobs's true emotion, after Duke returned to Los Angeles from San Francisco, he devoted himself to intense filming, and in the past few days of his absence, the crew has not stopped working and is still running normally, Anna? Prinz temporarily took Duke's place and took control of the filming schedule.

Even after Duke arrived, she still took a team to shoot, and the two-line shooting kept the crew on schedule and allowed enough time for complex post-production.

In the studio, little Robert? Downey jumped from a three-foot-high platform in a motion-capture device and landed heavily on the black mat, and Duke watched it all through the monitor, his brow furrowed.

"Rob......" he shouted in front of the camera, "do it again." ”

Robert Jr.? Downey nodded, walked up to the stage again, and when the scene reporter shouted, he jumped down again, and stood on the mat with both feet at the same time.

Duke didn't look at the monitor this time, his eyes kept on Little Robert? Downey, seeing his feet on the ground, finally figured out what the problem was.

"Jimmy, Rob." Duke raised his hand and called the actor and the action director over, "Let's have a brief meeting." ”

Jimmy? Carter, who had been in charge of the action design, understood that Duke was not happy with the scene he had designed, and asked, "Something went wrong?" ”

"Don't you think Rob's way of landing from flight is too ordinary?" Duke pointed at Robert Jr.? Donnie, "Jimmy, Iron Man just jumped straight to the ground, it's so featureless. ”

Robert Jr.? Donnie scratched his head and deliberately said in a very stinky tone, "I think what Duke said makes a lot of sense, this way of appearing can't show my handsome and cool side at all." ”

"Rob...... "Jimmy?" Carter pointed at him, probably often annoyed by the words of this living treasure, so he simply ignored him and asked Duke, "Give me a hint, I'm good at designing according to your requirements, but I have a headache with conceptual things." ”

"Every superhero has their own unique way of appearing." Duke thought for a moment and said, "In Iron Man, Tony? After Stark incarnates Iron Man, he always appears in a flying state. Jimmy, the most important thing you need to do is to distinguish Iron Man's way of flying from other superheroes, so that the audience's first reaction to him is - is this Superman or Peter? Pan. ”

These philosophical things have always been the responsibility of Duke, who explained, "Iron Man doesn't have superpowers; He's just wrapped in a heavy, invulnerable, high-tech product. Superman takes off quickly but likes to land slowly, while Iron Man takes off slowly because his coat is heavy, but he lands quickly with a dull sound. ”

All these years, Jimmy? Carter had accumulated enough experience to hear Duke say so. Immediately thought of a solution, "In normal landing, Iron Man can also take the way of slow deceleration and landing, and when he appears on the battlefield, he will jump from the air in a thunderbolt manner, which will have a huge impact." Tony? Stark needs to use one knee to slow down the impact, and this way is cool enough. ”

Robert Jr.? Downey immediately agreed, "Good idea. ”

After speaking. Him and Jimmy? Carter both looked at Duke, and the two of them knew very well that the only person who could really make up their minds was Duke.

"It's really different from other traditional heroes that have been produced, and it's a good starting point for us."

This problem is solved, and Duke temporarily changes the filming plan and moves to shoot other scenes first for Jimmy? Carter and Robert Jr.? Downey has plenty of time to practice. Don't look at it as a trivial action, but to achieve the shooting effect, it also requires a lot of repetitive practice.

Of course. This is only part of the problem, but there are other problems as well.

For example, Iron Man is based on the ground, and he needs to have natural movement, which is not only filming, but also solved through post-production special effects.

ILM worked closely with Studio Weta to meet Duque's requirements. With the mind of making a large number of CGs that are not afraid of death, while shooting. For this film, a lot of key Zhen animations were intensively produced, and there were also some motion capture animations that went straight ahead.

It's like Duke said. Those superheroes who can succeed on the screen have their typical characteristics, with signature moves that can make the audience unforgettable, such as Superman standing with his chest and fists on his waist, and his cloak fluttering in the wind.

But Duke's style for Iron Man is more organic, and while he wants Iron Man to have magical movement speed, he doesn't want to distract the audience from the fake comic book structure, and instead tries to insert poses into the movements to enhance the impression.

One of the scenes where the initial special effects have been completed after filming - the Iron Overlord flies back to attack Iron Man, and Iron Man grabs his arms and leaps into the air with a rocket jet launcher.

This set of moves is far stronger than making him pose on the spot, and there is a key moment when he is in the sky, he quickly raises his fist to fight back against the attack scene of the Iron Overlord, and in that frame of pose, Iron Man is right in the middle of the shot.

Solved some problems in Iron Man's action scenes, the filming progress gradually increased, and by Christmas, Duke had completed the filming of all the action scenes, and the rest were some relatively fragmentary shots, accompanied by his mother and Scarlett in New York? Johnson spent the Christmas break and switched back to work.

The sooner the shooting is completed, the more time is left for post-production, and according to the plan, the film must be released in the summer of next year.

The rest of the shots, are they all Tony? Stark's poor mouth, as well as relatively hilarious shots.

Just like actors, directors are not good at it, Duke has never been good at shooting funny scenes, but little Robert? Downey himself is an expert in this area, and under his leadership, several actors began to play on the spot, and Duke was happy to choose the right material from it.

Like Robert Jr.? Downey and Rachel? A rivalry play by McAdams.

Rachel's Pepper? Waves complaining about flying around the country for Tony? Stark buys a mansion.

"After you buy the next manor, I can write your name on the gate of the manor, and it will be called Boz Manor."

Hear that, Rachel? McAdams had an idea and said, "Let's write it in the book." ”

During the last period of filming, the crew was rarely full of cheerful atmosphere, and after the New Year, when 2006 arrived, the filming of "Iron Man" was officially completed. (To be continued)
