Chapter 377: "World of Warcraft" is being filmed
The wind is particularly strong, the long yellow sand blows everywhere, and the scenes built by the crew are particularly shocking and magnificent with the help of the power of nature.
Li Lin and the others were shocked as soon as they arrived, they had never encountered this kind of set when filming in China, even if it was the set of a movie with a large investment in China, compared with here, they all had a feeling of stinginess.
"I've heard about how exquisite foreign movies are, but of course I feel disdainful, because I think the reason why foreign movies are exquisite is because the special effects are done well."
"But now I feel like I was wrong."
"It's not just the special effects, but in the set, there is no comparison between domestic and foreign."
Huang Xiaoming was shocked, and he looked at the temple in front of him stupidly.
If he hadn't seen so many staff around him, he would have suspected that he was going to cross.
Admittedly, the set is flawed and not real, but it can be done to the point of being fake, especially if you don't get close, you can't tell if it's real or fake.
"I'm so stupid, really!"
Zhou Xun muttered: "I knew that I couldn't believe the words of the domestic director, and I thought that the foreign scenery was the same as the domestic one, just a few wooden planks." ”
"That's not a set at all."
The storage of the film and television city has greatly facilitated the domestic crews, so that they no longer need to spend a lot of money to set up for films, but at the same time, it has also hindered the growth of the domestic set level.
In Hollywood, the world rents islands and deserts for the sake of the set. When building ancient cities and parks, China still relied on the convenience of film and television bases to make TV dramas and movies, and careful viewers found out. Hey, how can the background of the movie be so similar to the background of the TV series?
"When will we have such a set in Huaxia?"
"When the Chinese market becomes the world's first, such a set will likely appear." Li Lin casually took out the water cup and drank it, "Don't blame the directors of Huaxia, it's not that they don't want to build a set of their own imagination, but the investment is too little." ”
"The big system zuò has the gameplay of the big system zuò. The small system zuò has the way of life of the small system. ”
"If you look abroad, who will shoot in the studio?"
"But in China, when have you ever seen a big system?"
"At present, the largest investment is only 300 million Chinese dollars. Equivalent to US dollars, it is about 4000W, if this money is going to build the set, I estimate that the remaining funds after the construction will be just enough to pay your actors. ”
"I'll just complain, you're kicking your nose in the face. He actually said a big reason to talk about me. ”
Zhou Xun glanced at Li Lin. "I remember that there is no drama today, if there is no drama, I will go to the tent to rest first, the desert is too dry, I feel like my skin is going to crack."
"No, I've got to hydrate."
"Binbin, are you together?"
"Okay." Fan Binbin said in response, she couldn't stand the air in the desert for a long time, the air was not only dry. And there are also sand grains all the way to hit the face, shaving the face a little painful.
"It's no drama today. But try on the costumes. Li Lin stopped the two, "The director needs to see if we are on camera, and if we are not on camera, we have to adjust the costumes." ”
The so-called photogenic is also called photogenic, which refers to the image of a person's appearance in a photo or video that is similar to or better looking at a real person, and vice versa, it is called not photogenic, and this difference is caused by the imaging principle of the camera or video camera. Because the image captured by the camera through the optical principle is a two-dimensional image, it cannot reflect the layering of the front and back of the object, and the influence of light and shooting angle makes it difficult for people to feel the real outline of the object in the photo, which will magnify some defects on the face of the subject
Before filming, the actors need to be on camera first, and then the makeup artist will make up the actors to make it easier for them to be on camera.
And a magical epic like "World of Warcraft" needs to try on the camera in props and costumes after makeup, and then make minor adjustments.
Soon, a few people found some spare makeup artists and staff to help them apply their makeup.
There are miserable white bones hanging on the gloomy prop costumes, and the skulls of two people hanging behind them give people a chilling feeling.
Coupled with the orc mask and skin, Li Lin bent slightly, and a living Gul'dan appeared in the real world.
Adaptations of games, comics, and animations must be posted into the second dimension, and in the words of a Hollywood producer, once it gets close to the second dimension, the drama is half the success.
Of course, it's okay not to be close to the second dimension, but if you are not close to the second dimension, you have to consider a good story.
This is the case with "Dragon Ball", this word-of-mouth adaptation of "Dragon Ball" movie is not close to the second dimension, and the audience scolded a bloody dog, but all manga fans say that this is the skin of "Dragon Ball".
Like Dragon Ball, there is also The King of Fighters.
As a movie adapted from the game "The King of Fighters", this movie was full of evil as soon as it was released, and everyone who watched it said that "The King of Fighters" did not know what to say, and it had no connection with the game "The King of Fighters".
Not every movie is as money-making as Resident Evil.
In order to reduce the risk, coupled with the fact that it was written by Blizzard's scriptwriters, the movie version of World of Warcraft is very close to the game, at least in terms of image.
"How?"
Blizzard's artist asked next to him, the character of Gul'dan was designed by him, and he has absolute right to guide Guldan.
I have to say that Blizzard attaches great importance to this cooperation, and in order to be an instant hit, Blizzard not only let the scriptwriters do it himself, but also let those artists come to the scene and design the styling of the crew with the stylist.
"It feels okay, it's just a little uncomfortable." Li Lin said: "But it doesn't affect my performance." ”
The inside of the prop costume is not a step, nor is it hair, but a gelatinous substance, and there is a strange feeling on the body, which is very uncomfortable.
But he can still bear this discomfort.
"Let's try it on camera, if it's okay, it's done." The artist himself is very satisfied with this set, but even if he is satisfied, he needs the cooperation of others.
If this set is miserable in front of the camera, then no matter how good it looks, it has to be changed, and the only advantage is that maybe he can collect it.
However, for this, he needs to pay a sum of money to the crew.
In the crew, the props and costumes are usually donated by the actors and actresses, or simply sold, and handed over to the actors and other staff to deal with.
"Gul'dan, look here."
Peter. Jackson teased in a low voice and instructed the photographer to point the camera at Li Lin.
Li Lin's trace has been completely lost in the lens, and there is only one Guldan with a strong two-dimensional style, and the vertical and horizontal shadows appear on Li Lin's skin, which is a simulated skin specially created by the crew.
"Lines."
"Drink, Grom, it's the fate of the orcs."
The deep voice was thick with evil, as if there was a will for a rotten conspiracy in it.
"The tone is good, but the voice is a little immature." Peter. Jackson said softly: "But the sound is not a big problem, just post-processing." ”
Then, he said to Li Lin: "OK, let's do it." ”
"It's the same as in the game."
Fan Binbin's eyes fell on Li Lin, because she was going to star in "World of Warcraft", she deliberately went to play "Warcraft" and "World of Warcraft", and she didn't even miss the CG animation of "World of Warcraft".
So she could see at a glance that Li Lin's prop costume was the same as the Guldan in the game.
"But the big question is how do the audience recognize us?"
Fan Binbin's brows furrowed.
Before she came, she didn't know that the costumes and props were designed this way.
In all fairness, this kind of costume props is indeed very close to the original work, but the biggest problem is here, being close to the original game means going farther and farther away from reality, and the two-dimensional also means that the actor's face basically says goodbye to the audience.
What's the use of starring in this kind of movie? Could it be that the audience can still find out who is the actor from the list?
In order to star in this movie, she pushed down a lot of announcements, advertisements and endorsements, and the loss of profits was huge, just waiting for "World of Warcraft" to become an instant hit and become popular all over the world.
As a result, I came here to take a look, and this is a cheat.
"It's just about gaining experience." Zhou Xun shrugged, she didn't care.
She is different from Fan Binbin, Fan Binbin's endorsement advertisements do not refuse, but she is selective, so although her income is not as good as Fan Binbin, it is much easier than Fan Binbin.
The film was important for her to make an international name, but it was equally important to gain experience in Hollywood blockbusters and try to get along with Hollywood crews.
"If you don't want to do it, we can switch roles."
Zhou Xun quipped: "I'm happy to play your role." ”
Don't even think about it!
Fan Binbin glanced at Zhou Xun fiercely in her heart, although she was very disappointed in this role, but it was also a Hollywood blockbuster, and after going back, she became an international Bin in seconds, and distanced herself from her domestic counterparts, and she was tall when she said it.
You don't see that the international chapter has been working hard abroad for the past two years, and I don't see much success, but its reputation in China is getting louder and louder.
What international superstars, Hollywood superstars and other names are on her body, and she instantly distanced herself from the other three Hua Dan and began to chase Gong Li.
Now that she has the opportunity, of course she won't give up, not to mention that the advertisements and endorsements she gave up can't be recovered, if she can't play this role, she might as well die here.
"This qiē ......."
Li Lin's gloomy voice echoed in the temple for a long time. (To be continued......)
