During the filming leisure, Shao Yingying and the crew chatted about movie special effects, this topic was introduced from a makeup artist who loves "The Matrix", he said that at present, foreign special effects makeup is declining, and film special effects technology has reached the point of replacing special effects makeup artists, and it is even likely that in the future, the job of makeup artists will be smashed because of the appearance of special effects.

Hearing this, Shao Yingying participated, he hoped to instill some things in his subordinates, at least he had to have an understanding of these things, otherwise if people outside heard this, they would say that Huayi's people didn't know it.

Foreign special effects technology is more advanced than domestic technology, which is true, but if you say that special effects will smash the makeup artist's job, this is a bit nonsense. The makeup of "Journey to the West" belongs to one of the types of special effects makeup, which can be replaced by high-tech makeup today, and it is normal that it will be replaced by high-tech makeup. What about TV series like "The Siege"? It can be completely free of special effects, but can there be no makeup artist?

This theory is the same in movies, "The Matrix" can't be a good movie without special effects; Large-scale productions such as "Night Banquet" and "The City Full of Golden Armor" don't need a makeup artist to try!

The influence of makeup artists and special effects makeup on special effects films is indeed shrinking, but it is not yet possible to replace it.

Here, Shao Yingying actually wants to mention a movie very much, but unfortunately, this movie has not yet appeared, so he can only give up. The name of this movie is "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and every orangutan in this movie is made by a computer. When making zuò, it was just for the actors to imitate the movements of the orangutans and use high-tech such as 'motion capture' and 'expression capture' to carry out the director's intentions, which not only reduced the difficulty of the crew working with animals to shoot (such as "Bullfight"). It can also allow actors to act without sticking to the orangutan hair of special effects makeup every day.

(There is a little story here, when the author heard the director scold the actors for their poor acting skills when the crew was doing chores, he actually used the hat of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", he said, "Look at your virtue, you are not as good as an orangutan, have you watched "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"?") Orangutans are better than you! ', uh. The author really wanted to ask if the director didn't pay attention to the news after the movie was released? The expressions of those orangutans were captured using the technological means of 'expression capture', and in fact they were still performing...... Of course, the ratings for that last TV series sucked. Less than 0.3% is said)

Shao Yingying finished talking about this topic with the makeup artist and left directly, he was afraid that he would leak his mouth.

At that time, he remembered another movie in his memory. "Havoc in Heaven".

Everyone knows that this movie was played by Donnie Yen solo. But few people know why they are looking for Donnie Yen, because after putting on Sun Wukong's special effects makeup, it really doesn't matter who plays the Monkey King, the main reason for looking for Donnie Yen is marketing. The most interesting thing is that when "Havoc in Heaven" came out, some people actually said that this was a revolution in mainland special effects...... Shao Yingying really wants to laugh when he thinks of the news he has seen in the history of the entertainment industry, if these reporters who write scripts really have to watch the subtitles after the movie seriously, I'm afraid he will give himself a mouthful!

The drama "Havoc in Heaven" gathers almost all the special effects companies in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, as well as a large number of special effects companies from South Korea, Yindu, and Jiana. During the four years of filming "Havoc in Heaven", these special effects companies almost collectively worked hard to produce special effects for "Havoc in Heaven". This is not the sole credit of a particular VFX company or a national VFX company. Rather, it is the result of collective creation.

Of course, Shao Yingying must admit that "Havoc in Heaven" is finally a special effects movie that can barely stand on the table, and this movie is more than twice as strong as many domestic special effects movies launched before. It's just that...... The slots of this movie are also obvious, just say that Huaguoshan shot in real time looks like pirated quality, and there are many visual effects in the shots that are not on the same level as the whole movie, and even under the overall special effects, individual shots are like a rural person standing on the top pie duì in the city.

Why is this happening?

Why are many special effects shots in "Havoc in Heaven" very different?

The reason is simple, it's strange that it's a matter of ever-changing special effects technology.

"Havoc in Heaven" was filmed for four years, and the technology four years ago and four years later are completely incompatible, and there is only one way to maintain the unity of the film, to tear it all down and start over. But if you do this, what will other special effects companies do? If you don't add money, no one will do it, and if you add money, the investor will have to send a catastrophe. In the end, the director almost hung on the big screen with thunder, and even so, the special effects were still well received, because this is our own superhero movie, because he has taken a big step forward in our backward special effects technology.

Shao Yingying also thinks that movies like "Havoc in Heaven" that have the courage to try special effects are worthy of praise, and may not let those drafters first supplement their knowledge and vocabulary before praising them?

Tick, tick, tick.

At this time, Shao Yingying's phone rang, and Shao Yingying, who was sitting on the train, answered the phone: "Hey? Brother, why did you remember to call me, something? ”

The person who called was Jiang Wen.

"Xiao Shao, I'm sorry for you."

Jiang Wen's voice was very calm, and his heavy sigh made the sound of 'whirring' come from the microphone.

"What's wrong?" Shao Yingying asked, he didn't know what forced Jiang Wen to look like this.

"The Sun Also Rises" is on, and the box office is ...... Only about 20 million. ”

Shao Yingying heard Jiang Wen's depressed voice, it was the pain of a big man who let the business knock him down, and when he wanted to discuss the artistry of the film with the audience like an artist, he found that the audience's footsteps did not keep up, everyone began to move closer to the commercial film, and no one paid attention to his sense of lens.

"Hey, what should I do, just come back."

Shao Yingying's words are a bit false, he also feels sorry for money, if "The Sun Also Rises" can produce a miracle when the hero Huayi needs money the most, then he, the investor, can also use this money to alleviate the urgent need. But. Things are already like this, what Shao Yingying wants to say more, that is, to force Jiang Wen to leave Huayi. Jiang Wen can't go, Shao Yingying is very clear about this, the failure of "The Sun Also Rises" is not that Jiang Wen is incompetent. It's Jiang Wen who doesn't want to be like everyone else, and he doesn't play a style that makes people feel unaware.

Jiang Wen said calmly: "Xiao Shao, I still want to make a movie, the type I want to shoot ......"

"I'll vote." Shao Yingying said these two words very simply: "Just like our brothers said, no matter what kind of book it is this time, I won't reduce a penny of your investment." ”

"Okay."

Jiang Wen didn't say much, he hung up the phone.

Because Shao Yingying didn't ask about the publicity strategy of "The Sun Also Rises". The second didn't mention why the movie was given before May Day without saying hello, and he didn't even say anything excessive. This favor, Jiang Wen wrote down. In his heart, Shao Yingying is still the original Shao Yingying, even if his identity is different, he can be attached to this brotherhood. He hasn't changed.

As for Shao Yingying. He thought more simply, he had already lost it anyway, so would it be useful to say anything else? Why don't you look forward to Jiang Wen coming out of the next drama with peace of mind? Anyway, Jiang Wen can make back the money he lost, so why bother talking about it.

Jiang Wen's interruption in the phone call made Shao Yingying's thoughts completely confused just now, he already had a very interesting idea and wanted to make a special effects movie, but now he still can't remember what he was thinking just now.

Forget it, don't want to. Filming.

"Boss Shao, you're all ready."

Trains are speeding through the tracks. Shao Yingying did it back to his seat, and now they were going to shoot the second eight minutes back on the train.

"Ready!" Cheng Long was still sitting in front of the monitor outside the carriage: "Let's start!" ”

Shao Yingying, who slowly woke up against the train window, did not show his strangeness to the things in front of him this time, nor did he have the wolf bèi when he woke up for the first time, he just lowered his head and rubbed his temples.

When his vision was clear again, Shao Yingying raised his head and looked around: "This is it again?" ”

"Awake?" Lin Xilei did not play the same as the first time, but after saying these two words with concern, she continued to look at the scenery outside the car window. She remembered that Shao Yingying said that people should change their behavior according to the different realities they deal with, and now Shao Yingying has no abnormalities in the expression, so she naturally won't pay too much attention to it.

Shao Yingying looked back and forth, left and right, this time his movements were very slow, there was no panic like the last time, he already had a certain degree of awareness of this scene, this is like playing a game, the first time you play it must be very unfamiliar, and the second time, there will be a sense of familiarity, at least the road you have traveled will remember.

This time, Shao Yingying still watched the person with the Coke walk past him, when the train was going straight at this time, but the passengers played by all the actors shook according to the coordination of the scene, which means that the train was turning, and the actor with the Coke shook the Coke out in the deliberate shaking......

Touch.

At the same time, the sound of Sprite being turned on once again attracted Shao Yingying's attention, and it was the same as the last time.

Lin Xilei watched the person who sprinkled the Coke walk away from her before returning her gaze to Shao Yingying, who she happened to see staring at the upper of her shoes.

This time, Lin Xilei followed Shao Yingying's gaze, Shao Yingying's upper was still very clean, but Shao Yingying was stunned to see the same person spilling the same can of Coke on his own shoes.

"It's really not su." Lin Xilei scolded as she took out a tissue from her coat pocket and handed it over.

Here, Shao Yingying still made changes in the details, first of all, Lin Xilei didn't say indifferently 'He wet your shoes', this kind of generosity is rare in the crowd of people who take the train. People who have experienced this scene may not take it so seriously, even if there is no quarrel at the moment, it is impossible to be as generous as the heroine in the original movie, and even face the reality with a helpless smile; Secondly, Lin Xilei should never shine Shao Yingying's shoes, in this country, even if a woman falls in love with a man, as long as the relationship is not clear, this kind of behavior should not appear, even after the relationship is clear, this kind of behavior is almost invisible.

Shao Yingying took the tissue, put the tissue on the table, looked at Lin Xilei and said, "This is the same train as the last time, but ...... It seems that something is different. ”

"Are you alright?" Lin Xilei looked at Shao Yingying and frowned a little incomprehensibly.

Cheng Long wanted to applaud Lin Xilei. This actress from Xiangjiang didn't learn from Xiangjiang, and when she found that the person playing the opposite scene was performing abnormally, reaching out and touching the other party's forehead was a big improvement! In fact, even if it is done, there is no question of right or wrong, but the relationship between the heroine and the male protagonist will be damaged.

This is the second time that the male protagonist has returned to the train, but in the eyes of the female protagonist. For the first time, that is, the relationship between the two of them has not changed since the filming of the first act, so there should be no closeness, otherwise a gradual process will be lost.

Cheng Long dialed Lin Xilei's number with the phone at this time, and when the music sounded, Lin Xilei just glanced down at the phone number and turned her head to look out the window. She was expressing her disgust.

At this time, the music sound of the phone suddenly cut off!

Anyone who has ever been on a train knows that the signal on the train is unstable, and sometimes the train will be interrupted in the tunnel.

Lin Xilei was finally smart once. When he didn't know why the phone number was cut off without waiting for him to hang up, he went straight down, put the phone back in his pocket, and said, "How can there be such a shameless person." Obviously, they have already broken up. I'm calling more now than I used to. ”

Shao Yingying finally felt that Lin Xilei was at the same frequency as himself, and then he looked at his watch and pressed the start button of the chronograph stopwatch on the watch, because he only had eight minutes.

In the movie, the actor's watch can count down, but this is not a big problem, the only difference between using a chronograph stopwatch and a watch with a countdown function is that one can bring the audience into a sense of tension at the beginning, and the other can bring the audience suddenness after the timer is completed, each with its own merits.

This time. Shao Yingying chose to reach out and touch Lin Xilei's chest.

That's right, it's the breasts!

Before returning to these eight minutes of memory for the second time. Shao Yingying has already had a conversation with the 'Goodwin' in the original film, in that conversation, the actor always thought that he was in a mock test, so he had a second time to go back to eight minutes of memory, to touch Christina, that is, Lin Xilei's Lin Qian's arm, and said, 'This detail is really well portrayed', because he always thought that the qiē he saw was a simulated picture, just like the simulated training in "Thief Spy".

So, is there anything else that makes it attractive to touch your arm?

If a qiē is all simulated, the male protagonist touching the heroine's roundness is not only a joke, but even more eye-catching than touching the arm, not to mention Shao Yingying's gesture of grabbing a prominent point on Lin Xilei's body.

Especially when the ticket inspector appeared from the end of the carriage and wanted to check the ticket, the actor quickly withdrew his hand, and the laughter of this scene came out, thinking that he stretched out the male protagonist in the mock test and the framework and moral system in the real world, but the boldness in the virtual environment is still in place.

"Ticket check, ticket check! Passengers, please show your ticket, thank you for your cooperation. ”

When a loud voice came from the end of the train, Shao Yingying quickly retracted his hand, and his movements caused Lin Xilei's angry eyes and a momentary action to dodge the window, Lin Xilei even said in horror: "What are you going to do?" ”

Shao Yingying shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "It's just a mock test, don't be nervous." ”

He meant two things, one was a mock test that Goodwin had asked him to do, and the other was to explain it to Lincilei.

At this time, the conductor who checked the ticket approached, Shao Yingying took out his ticket from his pocket, and then said to Lin Xilei very normally: "I am a pilot, and every distraction of the pilot will cause a very big ...... Catastrophe, so, we often have some, uh, people or objects that disturb us in our mock tests. You, for example, are a very beautiful girl, and you're here to disturb me. After Shao Yingying said this, he naturally said to himself: "It's not the first mock test, how can I think of a person who doesn't exist at all to explain this?" ”

Lin Xilei completely confused Shao Yingying this time, and looked at Shao Yingying as if she didn't know how to respond.

Shao Yingying took advantage of the time when Lin Xilei was staring at him, and the camera quickly turned with his figure, and then Shao Yingying reached out and pulled the paper off the hand of a passenger......

"It's over!"

Cheng Long shouted, and then felt that his conclusion was a bit early, and hurriedly made up for it: "Boss Shao, why don't you take another look?" ”

After Shao Yingying finished this shot, he walked to the monitor, and when the picture was replayed, he kept staring at the picture until the picture was completely played, and then shouted: "Miss Lin, you are very good." (To be continued......)
