225 Doomsday Disaster
Spielberg patiently stood aside, watched JNE check the jungle spider repeatedly, took the remote control handed by Spielberg, aimed at the spider, and tried the function of each button.
These buttons have climbing, walking functions, and even one that sprays white spider silk directly from the spider's mouthparts, which is really breathtaking, and if you buy it on the market, I believe it must be a very popular children's toy, of course, the cost will be equally high.
JNE finally had enough of playing and returned the spider to Spielberg, his face slightly less interested: "Unfortunately, it's just a toy." β
LOOKING AT THE FAINT DISAPPOINTMENT ON THE GIRL'S FACE, MEI YU SUDDENLY HAD AN IMPULSE TO GET A FEW OF PETER'S ELECTRONIC SPIDERS TO MAKE HER HAPPY, MEI YU WAS SLIGHTLY STUNNED, AND COULDN'T HELP BUT SMILE BITTERLY, THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE PRINCES OF THE BEACON OPERA, SHE IMMEDIATELY REACTED, WHY THIS GIRL'S EXPRESSION AND LANGUAGE ALWAYS GIVE HER AN INEXPLICABLE SENSE OF FAMILIARITY, IT'S LITTLE P, THIS IS THE GIRL'S VERSION OF LITTLE P.
Spielberg shrugged his shoulders, turned his head to look at Mei Yu and smiled: "Let's go, kid, today we are going to make the first trailer, let me take two beautiful young ladies to visit the sci-fi empire." β
JNE's light voice sounded out a little out of place: "If it's like the spider just now, it's better to call it Toy Kingdom." β
This kind of straightforward and direct confrontation made Mei Yu look sideways, and Spielberg smiled dotingly, as if an old man was looking at his most beloved little granddaughter.
Meiyu can see that it's not that JNE is mean, but that she is indifferent by nature, and she has no malice. It's no wonder that Spielberg has always treated this child with an inclusive attitude.
Spielberg was in front, and the two girls followed the old man side by side, all the way into a huge room, the whole room, like a huge stage transformed, with all kinds of lamps and lanterns overhead, interspersed with cameras.
The four walls are white, and a huge curtain is erected at the innermost, facing the curtain is a group of camerasβ‘ surrounded by many staff members, and behind it, several computers.
Mei Yu took a deep breath, this was the shooting site of a foreign sci-fi blockbuster, and for the first time, she really felt that β‘she was in the United States, in a foreign land with first-class filmmaking methods.
As a true actress, she is no stranger to everything in front of her. After all, there are many science and technology reveal columns that will do this kind of special report, and every time a blockbuster movie is broadcast, these production backgrounds will also be released as behind-the-scenes footage.
However, being in front of a TV screen and being in front of a TV screen are two completely different concepts.
That kind of visual impact. Let Meiyu fully realize how great human beings are, and technology has advanced to this point.
That's right β, it's the filming site of the apocalypse, and it's the only filming location.
There are many scenes in the script where you chase in the jungle and encounter all kinds of mutated horror creatures, but here you go, only a simple curtain and actors.
As for the rest, the jungle background, the hunting alien creatures, all use scientific and technological means to carry out computer synthesis production. Add it later.
If someone thinks that this will save you on the cost of shooting, you will be able to reduce the amount of money you need to set up a background or rent a location. That would be a big mistake.
This method of filming may sound simple. There's no need to set up a complex backdrop or lead a crew to a dangerous rainforest, in fact, the cost of computer post-production is astronomical.
Otherwise, why are the top sci-fi blockbusters shot in the United States?
Thinking about how much work is required to create a scene that doesn't exist in the first place, and to make it seamless and immersive, is no less difficult than developing a realistic and anthropomorphic new game.
At this time, the two people standing in front of the curtain, one is the familiar Tim, and the other is Helena, who has seen in the American Idol Audition, and the two of them are wearing black tights, with many magnetic sheets pasted and covered with wires, which looks a little weird.
Mei Yu squinted her eyes, Helena, this Western beauty is really alive, a pair of moving eyes are sparkling, staring at Tim affectionately: "I have always had a secret ......"
Spielberg pulled the preoccupied Meiyu, and when she looked away, Spielberg raised his fingers, made a silent gesture to the two girls around him, and tiptoed to the front, looking at the tall figure in front of him to make a lewd thief's nirvana, Meiyu smiled dumbly, and followed briskly.
When I got to the computer, I could see that Tim and Helena's performance was playing simultaneously on the screen, and each screen was played from a different angle, and even on the computer in the middle, four different angles were selected, showing the grace of the handsome man and the beautiful woman in 360 degrees.
Spielberg let Mei Yu and JNE look at him, satisfied that the two girls did not ask rash questions, and when they finished checking, they slipped out of the other door with the two girls, and when they arrived at the door, Spielberg smiled and said: "When filming, we will record the actors' movements and expressions, and then they will be synthesized by the computer to form the final plot picture." β
Speiberg paused for a moment, and then said: "Like Tim and Helayna, they are normal people in the film, just take a picture, you two will appear as mutants in pursuit, the skin is a very beautiful pale gold, the body is much taller, and the post-production will be more complicated." β
Spielberg looked at the two equally beautiful pairs of eyes in front of him and looked at him intently, and talked more intensely: "When you shoot, you will have a magnetic sensor on your body, and the computer will accurately capture your muscle changes, and then synthesize them into the computer for 3D conversion. β
JNE pointed to the head-sized jungle spider in Spielberg's hand and interjected, "Will this little thing also be magnified?" β
Mei Yu frowned, yes, if you want to create a sense of fear of being hunted down, although such a football-sized jungle spider is disgusting, it is difficult to make people feel fearful, if it is life-size, it is completely different.
She could imagine it. When this 3D movie is played, how terrifying it will be to pounce on a giant spider head-on.
This chick thinks very quickly.
Spielberg smiled and nodded, the old man grabbed the two front legs of the spider in his hand, suddenly raised it to his head, pounced forward, looked at Mei Yu and took a step back in shock, and laughed: "It's still cute AY, JNE." You're so uncute. β
JNE, whose face did not change, shrugged his shoulders, turned his head, and slowly pointed to the transparent computer room next to him, and continued to ask: "Is this the data center?" β
Spielberg's smiling face was never put away, the old man. His optimistic personality is easily contagious, and he replied cheerfully, "Yes, on average β, it costs me $300,000 a day." β
$300,000!
Mei Yu quickly calculated in his heart, 300,000 a day, tens of millions a month, and more than 100 million in a year. Roughly calculated, the production cost of this film must be estimated. It will also cost $200 million.
Spielberg had already pushed the door in, Meiyu followed him closely, and JNE was nonchalantly at the end.
Everything in front of me shocked the rainy season again, and in the computer room of about 1K square meters, computers were densely distributed, and there was a staff member working in an orderly manner in front of each computer.
Spielberg deliberately slowed down his speech as if to match Mei Yu's hearing: "Here, it's just a computer post-production room, and the data center below has more than 10,000 square meters of computer room, and we have more than 4 processors β According to the flow requirements, it is absolutely stable, and it is not connected to the Internet." β
Mei Yu listened intently, she was like a dry sponge. Crazy absorbing all the water, a world-class director appears. Based on a sci-fi masterpiece of more than 100 million yuan, personally explain the filming process, what a rare experience, and it is hard to find.
Spielberg led the two girls to one of the computers, and could see a rough scene flashing on the screen, the rainforest, tall trees, branches and leaves were obvious, but the details were blurred, and the staff next to the computer nervously entered data in the calculation bar next to it.
Spielberg's voice softened: "This is a half-finished product, and it originally had to evolve a virtual scene through a lot of calculations. β
Spielberg looked twice, and pointed a short distance ahead, and Mei Yu looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the computer screen over there was nothing more than a few polygons.
Computer graphics, in the final analysis, are just dots and lines.
How wonderful and miraculous it is that everything in nature can be reduced to the simplest principles of mathematics, but there are no two identical leaves.
Spielberg's footsteps kept moving, Meiyu listened attentively to his explanation, and the little brown-haired beauty beside him asked questions from time to time.
This kind of sci-fi blockbuster is like a sophisticated assembly line, through the efforts of countless staff, every part is carefully installed in place, and finally produced off the production line.
The footsteps of the three of them finally stopped in front of the largest computer in the entire computer room, Spielberg looked at the middle-aged fat man sitting in the soft chair, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Reeves, you old fat man, don't patronize eating and not working." β
This fat man was not very tall, his neck was almost completely shrunk into his body, the hair on his round head was thin, he swallowed the last banana arrogantly, looked at Spielberg and said dissatisfiedly: "You still said that I asked you to introduce the latest fourth-generation engine, why hasn't it been in place yet?" β
Spielberg didn't answer, still looking at the fat man in front of him with a smile on his face, the fat man snorted coldly, turned around angrily, and tapped on the keyboard, and soon, a confined space appeared on the screen, in the boundless black clouds, lightning bolts continued to split, and at the moment of lightning illumination, all kinds of strange creatures looked gloomily, and burning stones fell from the sky, forming a row of letters in the roar, the doomsday disaster.
The second watch!
