To be honest, acting in front of a green screen actually requires imagination.

No matter how good your acting skills are, if you can't make up a scene of your own acting in your mind, you won't be able to act well.

And when it comes to motion capture, you need to imagine even what kind of thing you are playing.

- Otherwise, why are so many actors in Hollywood, but Andy Serkis, who ran to death before, has become the "king of motion capture"?

- Whether it's Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" or Caesar in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", it's not so easy to play.

It can be said that in terms of performance with computer special effects, there is also a talent for acting.

Of course, just like ordinary performances, as long as it is not really rotten wood that cannot be carved, most actors, no matter how talented they are, rely on time to grind, and NG over and over again, they can always contribute performances that meet their needs in the end.

However, if you can go through it all over again, whether it is an actor or a director, who wants to waste time repeatedly and pile up the cost of shooting?

It's just limited to spatial imagination, and many actors can't do well in this regard.

And Charlotte's current idea is to use spells to enhance the imagination of his actors.

— or let them collectively share an imagination.

This is somewhat similar to the way he had the young actors rehearse life at Hogwarts in the dream world during the filming of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

However, the difference is that this time he intends to let the actors dream while filming in reality.

- Uh, no, it's imagination......

"Anyway, next, there will be a large swarm of corpse beetles rushing towards you. ”

Charlotte gathered the actors together and told them the play vividly,

"You were so frightened that you fled in haste to flee. However, some people ran too slowly, fell to the ground, and eventually were overwhelmed by the swarm of corpse beetles. You, you, and you—"

Charlotte pointed to a few tricky actors on the side,

"Corpse beetles will burrow into your skin, rush into your body cavities and brains along your muscles, eat your internal organs and brain marrow, and suck your blood until you are a dry corpse ......"

......

"That's too realistic!?

Rachel Weisz on the side was sneering in her heart.

As the heroine of the movie "The Mummy", she naturally will not be the unlucky person who is named by Charlotte and will be "eaten by corpse beetles" for a while.

However, Charlotte's eloquence that can speak just by telling the story makes Rachel's scalp tingle and chills all over her body really makes Rachel not know what to say.

This ability to render atmosphere, if combined with a little startling music, can definitely be called a complete ghost story.

In fact, on one occasion, Rachel almost screamed in fright.

As a young woman of literature and art, and a Cambridge graduate, Rachel occasionally attended so-called readings.

——That is, a group of literary and artistic young people who like to read, organize a small party, read books by themselves for a while, and listen to others read for a while.

Although there are some literary youths, the activity of reading aloud has a long history.

In particular, the readings that Cambridge graduates like Rachel participate in are generally a bit of a level.

——Those who dare to read on it can basically be vocal and affectionate, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

may be like Charlotte, who can let everyone into the play by her voice alone, and be frightened, but Rachel has never seen it.

"Do you want to invite Mr. Director to my reading?"

Rachel thought it would be fun.

Other actors don't have the breadth of Rachel's brains.

Especially those actors who were named by Charlotte, and according to the script, they were going to be devoured by "corpse beetles" for a while.

- They're already trembling.

Even Brandon Fisher, the male protagonist who is destined to be in no danger in the plot, is a little numb at this time.

Indeed, Brandon Fisher himself is not small, and his role as O'Connor is even more optimistic and brave in the movie.

However, after Mr. Director's eloquent speech, Brandon still felt a little empty in his heart.

And as soon as Mr. Director finished the play, he immediately asked everyone to start performing, which made Brandon not know what to say.

- Well, during normal shooting, it may indeed be the director who starts filming after the scene. But this time, Brandon Fisher thought maybe it would be better to take it easy.

Unfortunately, he is not a director.

Now, at the request of the real director Charlotte, he is standing in front of the green screen with a few actors, looking at the not very real props and sets not far away, ready to start shooting.

“Action！”

With this sound, Brand Fisher immediately began to run according to the planned route.

And the actors followed him.

According to the script, behind them at this time, there should be a large group of corpse beetles, overwhelming, making people's scalp tingle.

- Although at the moment it's just pure air.

Brandon couldn't imagine that out of thin air. Therefore, in the previous filming, he has been relying on his previous performance experience and is deliberately performing.

Fortunately, his acting skills are good, and the movie "The Mummy" is a fantasy adventure comedy, so the requirements for the authenticity of the performance are not so high - exaggerated is no problem - so his acting talent barely meets the requirements.

However, this time, perhaps because he had just listened to Mr. Director's overly realistic explanation, and still had palpitations, Brandon subconsciously turned around, and suddenly felt that there was really a large group of corpse beetles behind him.

"Ahhh

Brandon instinctively screamed with a numb scalp.

This did not violate the requirements of the script.

- A few people here should have fled with shouts and screams.

It's just that Brandon has been performing simply before, but this time he has a bit of a true performance.

- Of course, to put it a little more high-end, it is not impossible to say that it is more in-depth into the role and can better experience the mentality of the characters played.

Although essentially the same thing.

In short, this kind of trance-like realistic imagination made Brandon Fisher play 200% of his acting skills at once.

And the frightened howls of several actors next to him, Brandon heard it in his ears, and he also felt that it was countless times more real than when he was filming before.

Especially the actor who was devoured by the corpse beetle swarm after falling according to the script, and the miserable howl made Brandon have the illusion that he was really being eaten by ten thousand insects......

“Cut！Good！！”

Finally, the shot was finished, and Brandon Fisher sat on the ground, panting violently.

Obviously it was only two or three minutes of footage, but he actually had the feeling of running for half an hour.

- Heartbeat.

And looking at the expressions of the actors next to him, it seems that he is also exhausted for the rest of his life.

Especially the actor who should be eaten by a corpse beetle according to the plot, Brandon felt that he couldn't describe the expression on the other party's face.

"Is this too deep into the play!?"

Brandon had a thought in his mind.
