In the early days of game production, including CG animation and motion capture, it was basically just a special motion capture technology actor, but later with the development of technology, even the actors' faces and expressions can be clearly captured.

This also leads to the importance of acting skills for motion capture, of course, unlike movies and TV series, the requirements for actors' acting skills are very strict, and the requirements for game motion capture technologies are not so high in this regard, because of the existence of later production, through the adjustment of technology, with the correction is like a filter beauty camera in the live broadcast platform, as long as you are not ugly and miserable, you can become like a fairy.

Although the cost of these post-production is not small, it is obviously lower than hiring an actor with an appearance fee of millions.

And if a game says that all the participating tasks in it are actors, actresses, and stars, there are basically only three ways to explain it.

The first is that the developer and producer strive for excellence, and they want to be able to do their best everywhere, after all, the post-correction and the direct capture of real expressions, and it is still easy to see the difference between the two when compared together, of course, this difference is still difficult to distinguish for most non-professional players, and whether players can find out that this is also related to the lens of the game.

If a game is a game with close-ups of the main characters' faces, then don't doubt that the production team is very confident in shaping the expressions of the game's characters, which is often seen in interactive cinematic games.

The second is that game manufacturers need the traffic of these big-name actors to promote the popularity of the game, which is almost similar to that of spokespersons.

As for the third, there is no explanation, it is purely the personal will of the producer, he likes a certain actor, he likes the role of a certain actor, and to put it more clearly, it is chasing stars with public funds.

The game's motion capture required actors, and in the end it was up to the play to catch up with the main characters in the game.

The main core characters Alsace, Gianna, and Illidan were specially selected, and finally one student got the role of Alsace, and the other two were taken down by the other two special actors.

The rest of the subdivisions are not too much, or the important characters whose plots are not very good, such as Kane Bloodhoof, Dalin Broadmoore, etc., are all assigned to their heads.

Well, in addition to these characters, there are also Terran soldiers, knights, orc infantry, etc., and of course some are cameos.

And the names of these actors will eventually appear in the list of the production team.

It can be said that the list of producers after the final game of Nebula Games can be regarded as one of the longest in the industry.

Even many players have said on the official website that this is also a long time, is it that Nebula Games has written all the cleaning aunts in the company.

Of course, this is not true, but as long as an employee who has been involved in the production of the game, even if it is only for one week, and leaves the company the next week due to other things, Nebulas Games will enter their roster into the final team list of the game.

Because Yang Chen understands very well what a big expectation this is for game makers; I also understand how important this is for game makers.

……………

Inside the motion capture studio formed by Jiangshi Nebula Games.

"Director Zhang, is there any mystery in this lens??" Looking at the footage just shot, Yang Chen sat next to Wang Yaliang and said to a bald director who was about fifty years old with a baseball cap.

Zhang Hankun, a literary film director in the industry, has a very high use of color in the lens, and has won many domestic awards.

did not play in person like the previous "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain", because there was a comparison of dream memories before, Yang Chen was able to compare the shots in the dream memories while shooting by himself, and Wang Yaliang himself shot on the "Snake Eater", although he made a lot of changes, but he still referred to "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain".

And "Warcraft" in the dream memory, I have to say that although this game is classic and great enough, it is behind the times.

Learning from each other's strengths is a must if you want to succeed.

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Zhang Hankun explained.

After explaining, the crew entered the rest time, Zhang Hankun took the lunch box handed over by the staff, looked at the shot just shot, and said to Yang Chen with a little curiosity: "Mr. Yang, are you going to play this in the game?" ”

He is really a little confused about this, he has made literary films for many years, and has won a lot of awards, but that kind of top awards, he understands that there is no hope in this life, and he has not made much money from literary films, and in recent years, he has also thought about his retirement in the future.

When he heard the news of Nebula Games' recruitment of directors and saw the 2 million honorarium, he searched the Internet and saw that this company was very awesome, so he recommended himself without saying a word, but he really didn't know much about the game.

"Well, it's played in stages as a game, and it can be understood like a TV series, and Director Zhang has worked hard for you in the post-production." Yang Chen nodded and smiled.

"Do you take money to work, how can it be hard or not." Zhang Hankun said with a smile, and then he was a little curious: "It's not good, although we actors don't have any big names, but the follow-up special effects and CG production cost a lot of money, right?" ”

After all, it's not a regular team crew, in fact, as a director, he doesn't even know how much money their group has, the only thing he knows is that these two young big bosses are very generous, the money and everything are directly in place, and even the lunch box is one top one, and the other party didn't say a word about the salary on his side, and after signing the contract, he directly paid half of it to his account.

The only thing that puzzled him a little was what kind of lighting and costumers were included in this equipment, although they were not the top, but they were definitely above average, and this actor was not a well-known actor.

To put it mildly, isn't this a cannon to fight mosquitoes?

"It's the top in China, and the total cost should be around 40 million US dollars." Yang Chen took a bite of rice, then put the duck leg in the lunch box into Wang Yaliang's bowl next to him, and said not very concerned.

Here Yang Chen is talking about the cost of the entire game project, but obviously Zhang Hankun does not understand it this way.

Smack......

The duck leg caught in the chopsticks fell to the ground.

40 million?? Or dollars!?

Zhang Hankun's eyes widened, and then he turned his head to look at the brand-new machinery and equipment next to him, as well as the actor with the motion capture infrared device in the distance.

It feels a little incredible.

As for the fake?

If he hadn't learned about Nebula Games before, he would have thought it was bragging.

But when he searched for Nebula Games before, he clearly remembered a news that the boss of Nebula Games spent money to buy a building for the company's internal employees to make a dormitory building.

There was also a series of news about how rich Nebula Games was, plus he also asked some of his friends and decided to apply for it after confirming that it was a pretty good company.

Then Zhang Hankun suddenly thought of a very bad insider at the previous cocktail party, and after drinking high, he bragged to himself proudly, saying that he had deceived several investors to make a movie with a cost of about 20 million RMB, which was about to be released.

He still hasn't forgotten that pride.

But now he, who looks like a rich second generation coming out to play, is actually a project team with a cost of up to 40 million? And it's still dollars?

And he himself is a director who has made $40 million?

For a moment, Zhang Hankun only felt as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
