Lin Mu held the bullhorn and shouted to the entire theater: "Silence!! ”

The theater, which was originally a little noisy, immediately fell silent, and Jiang Ping, the owner of the theater, looked at the stage with excitement. He was photographed next to the main character in this scene, the magic revelator, and he could get a lot of footage later. However, the benevolent brother next to him looked at him with a resentful expression: "How can you paralyze you rob me of my good position?" ”

"Ready!!"

"Act 40, Scene 3 has officially begun!"

“！！”

With the 'click' of the scene version, Xie Tingfeng and the other four magicians began to disperse on the stage according to the route arranged by the assistant director to the edge of the stage, and said to all the audience on the stage.

"Today we're going to perform a magic trick!"

"It's going to be a magic trick that Huaxia has never performed before!"

"There has never been a performance anywhere in the world!"

Finally, Xie Feng (played by Xie Tingfeng), the leader of the four magicians, stepped up the steps, stepped onto the center of the stage, raised his hands, and said to the audience: "Gentlemen, ladies! Tonight, we're going to rob a bank!! ”

The audience applauded!!

Jiang Ping was stunned at this time: "Magic? Robbing a bank? The meaning of the Amazing Demon Thieves is to use magic to rob a bank?? ”

Jiang Ping felt very pleasantly surprised, using magic to rob the bank, no matter how he listened to it, he felt a strange kind of stimulation.

Other extras who were not mentally prepared also felt the same way as Jiang Ping, hearing that magic was used to rob the bank, they felt fresh and exciting, and applauded even more enthusiastically.

There was nothing wrong with the actors' performances, so Lin Mu didn't shout to stop.

Xie Feng greeted the warm applause of the audience and said with a smile: "Do you expect a crime so much?? ”

Shen Yao shouted loudly: "I'm looking forward to it!" What about you? ”

The applause and shouts at the scene became more enthusiastic.

Lin Mu watched the performances of several people on the stage, feeling quite satisfied, and motioned to the scene reporter and photographer not to stop.

"Does anyone want us to rob which bank?"

Quite a few extras wittily raised their hands! Shout at the same time!

"It seems that many people have a big enmity with the bank! Haha, then we'll pick one at random!! ”

Powerful actors are different, the plot that was originally split into several paragraphs was successfully passed by the improvisations of these actors one by one, although some lines did not fit the script, but Lin Mu felt good, so he didn't shout to stop.

Then it was a table tennis ball to choose a seat, and then the person in the seat was asked to choose a bank.

"...... of the Paris Republican Trust Bank"

"Bank ...... in Farland, EU" Xie Tingfeng paused, made a constipated and tangled expression of pain, and said very regretfully, "It would be good if it was a local bank in the magic capital, and it would be better to have a small credit union without security......"

"Hahaha!!" When the extras heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

The performances of the leading actors and extras were very smooth, and the whole process was done in one go, without a single ng.

In an afternoon and evening, the first stage magic was done.

When the extras saw the 100-yuan red bills (prop bills) that filled the entire theater, they couldn't help but be stunned. Fortunately, the crew had already told them, so these dedicated extras reasonably made a 'money-grabbing' action.

After completing the first large-scale stage magic, the crew got up early the next day to set up the second stage and start filming the second stage magic.

This magic trick is also really done, and it was not synthesized with lens editing, because the relevant magic props have already been prepared, so there were not too many twists and turns in the shooting process, and it only took 3 days to shoot it all.

At this time, due to the fact that there were more extras hired, part of the information of "Shocking Demon Thieves" was also leaked and circulated quickly on the Internet.

"'Thieves' is a movie about a magician robbery."

"I heard that there is a scene where magic is used to rob a bank, and it is said that in the movie, the bank robbery was successful."

The news of these news immediately caused a big uproar among Lin Mu fans.

"Isn't magic just about playing a few cards and cutting off a few heads? Can it be used to rob a bank? ”

"It means that I don't know much about magic, and it seems that there are no famous magicians in Huaxia, right?"

"I've watched a lot of movies about bank robbing, there are sewers, there are holes, there are zha drugs, but it's the first time to use magic to rob a bank."

"I checked it, and the magician named Li Gaofei turned out to be a great magician with a certain reputation in Europe."

"I don't know what surprises the king will bring us this time, I look forward to it!!"

All fans don't believe it, surprise it, look forward to it, and so on.

There were also a number of newspapers that joined in the excitement and published the news in the newspapers. And some fans of Lin Mu abroad expressed their surprise and expectation at the news.

After several domestic film companies heard the news, they felt that Magic robbed the bank or something was quite gimmicky, and they couldn't help but increase their film plans about magic.

On the cover of that week's Huaxia Film Weekly, it was written: "Seven domestic film companies have launched new film projects to prepare films related to magic." ”

After Lin Mu saw this news, he immediately felt a burst of pain coming from the two balls between his legs.

Lin Mu knew that it was impossible to keep the whole process secret, but he didn't expect those film companies to be so ruthless, and the copycat speed was so fast, and they began to imitate it not long after the news came out.

"It's madness!" Lin Mu looked unhappy.

What Lin Mu didn't know was that now there was a group of professionals in the film industry who specialized in studying forest trees. Study the idea of the forest, study the film of the forest. And the cause of all this is the fault of Lin Mu's brilliant achievements in recent years, and the theme that Lin Mu is eyeing is not popular and not selling. thereupon

is also because of the influence of the movie "Shocking Demon Thieves", some magicians in China who were originally inconspicuous finally ushered in the spring of their careers, and their reputation and social status are rising gradually. However, the magician who benefited the most was Li Gaofei, who assisted in the filming of "Shocking Demon Thieves". At this time, it can be said that he is famous, and there are already theaters or plaza businesses that have invited him to hold magic shows to boost his popularity.

No matter how uproar there was outside, the crew of "Shocking Demon Thieves" still did not make any statement, as if they had no quarrel with the world.

――――――――――

On July 15, Lin Mu, who was directing in the crew, received a call from the American Hope Special Effects Company. The R&D department has finally developed a more advanced "motion capture technology".

The so-called motion capture technology is to attach sensors to people's limbs and faces, and then use a high-tech video capture device that can accurately measure the movement of moving objects in three-dimensional space, record the movement of moving objects in the form of images, and use computers to process the image data to obtain the spatial coordinates of different objects at different times, and then add the appearance of animals, monsters, aliens or uniforms drawn by computers on this basis.

The most famous application of motion capture technology is Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings", which was released last year. It has conquered countless audiences with his outstanding performances, and its actor Andy Serkis is also known as "the first person to perform motion capture".

After the merger of Hope Special Effects Company in 07, it began to develop this technology, and it has also been applied in some movies, adding a lot of color to the movie.

However, at that time, the "motion capture technology" that Hope Special Effects had was not as advanced as the technology mastered by Industrial Light & Magic, Weta Data, and the digital field. Lin Mu, who knew the role of this technology in promoting future films, also allocated funds to increase the number of personnel to research and develop this technology.

Through the network transmission, Lin Mu soon received the information from the United States Hope Special Effects, which contained two videos.

One of the videos shows an actor wearing a sci-fi-style headgear. Doing some facial movements, the headgear looks weird, and there's a pole with a small camera stretched out in front of the face.

In another video, Lin Mu saw the head of an orangutan, and the facial movements of this orangutan were the same as those of the human actor just now.

"It's pretty good."

After thinking about it, Lin Mu wrote the words "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in his notebook, and then dialed the international call. Talk to Egil, the head of the R&D team of the technology, about the details.

Egil explained some of the features and advantages of this technology to Lin Mu in detail: "Our 'headgear expression capture system' can completely replicate the actor's expressions and body movements to his digital double. Moreover, 'motion capture' and 'facial expression capture' can be recorded simultaneously, so the emotions conveyed by the CG characters are the real acting skills of the actors. Instead of cold data, it is completely possible to convey the actor's acting skills to the audience through 'monsters/aliens'. ”

Lin Mu thought of the name Cameron gave to this technology in the previous space-time period, so he said with a wicked taste: "I think it is no longer enough to call it 'motion capture technology' to reflect its advantages, even if it is called 'expression detail capture technology'." ”

The boss was happy, and Egil couldn't help but rejoice: "'Expression capture technology' is a good name. ”

Lin Mu: "Although it has been successful, you can't relax, in the future, in addition to perfecting this technology, you must also try to find a way to achieve off-studio shooting/multi-person simultaneous capture technology, which will be of great use in the future." ”

"No problem, boss."

After explaining a few points that need to be paid attention to in the future, Lin Mu hung up the phone. Lin Mu thought of the next film plan "Avatar" at this time, because half of the characters in "Avatar" are n"a--v"I people, and they naturally can't use blunt computer technology to do it, so this expression capture technology just comes in handy.

――――――――――――――

On July 15th, "Home Alone" was released in China for a total of 45 days, with a total box office of 6.5 billion yuan.

Because the release time is 20 days longer than "Finding Nemo", the total box office is higher than "Finding Nemo".

At this time, the game company that cooperated with Hope Film and Television Company developed a puzzle game full of fun and traps, which was widely sought after as soon as it was launched in the market, and the number of downloads increased by leaps and bounds, and the praise was rave reviews.

After the popular release in China, it gave "Home Alone" a lot of confidence, and then began to be released in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, South Asia and other regions, and its box office performance is also the same as that in China, extremely prosperous, and the main consumer groups are concentrated in the family collective, countless families brought their children into the cinema, relaxed as much as the whole family wanted, and laughed.

It is hoped that at this time, film and television companies will also start to plan to take advantage of the summer vacation to release "Home Alone" in North America and the European Union, two large film markets.

During this time, in addition to "Home Alone", there is another movie that is being vigorously promoted in China.

"My Sassy Girlfriend", on August 16 (Qixi "Qingren" Festival) will be released nationwide."

"The hero is gentle and virtuous, and the heroine is savage and rude......"

"As soon as I entered "My Sassy Girlfriend", the three views were passers-by from then on, ......"

"My Sassy Girlfriend" is scheduled to be released nationwide on August 16 (Qixi Valentine's Day), so the publicity work began to unfold vigorously.

First of all, the stills were released, and a large number of photos of the heroine Song Mingxi, beautiful and tall, with a hot figure, long hair, fresh and refined, conquered countless otaku at once.

And Song Tiantian, who played the heroine Song Mingxi, directly skyrocketed in fame and became an otaku goddess.

Four days later, the second set of stills began to be released.

One is the heroine Song Mingxi pulling the ears of the honest and honest male protagonist and dragging her like a cow......

One is the male protagonist morning glory bird snuggling on the shoulder of the female protagonist Song Mingxi, and Song Mingxi is sitting there with a golden knife, majestic......

One is the heroine Song Mingxi pretending to be a slap with a vicious expression......

As soon as these stills with the image of a fierce queen appeared, they immediately made the hearts of those otaku feel cool, and the image of the goddess collapsed instantly.

"Nima, is this a woman?"

"Give me back my goddess!!"

Five days later, the first movie trailers began to appear, all edited around the touching theme of love, and many people felt relatable.

Then the second trailer took a sharp turn again, with the theme of his girlfriend's savagery, "I want to die", "I'll kill you", "You're dead", punching and kicking, all kinds of brutality.

As soon as this trailer came out, countless fans were stunned in an instant.

In this time and space, the traditional culture of the Chinese people is still very well preserved, so the concept of the male protagonist and the female protagonist Song Mingxi and the virtuous lady of the female protagonist has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and every woman is trying to get closer to the image of a lady. At this time, a woman suddenly appeared in a savage image, which immediately attracted widespread attention from society. (To be continued.) )
