Chapter 286: I Want to Be Famous!

"That's a good thing, can we have a whole set of this equipment? This is so good, I have checked it before, and our country also has this similar technology.

But now it is mainly used in biomechanical photographic images, to analyze some image data and the like, but when used in animation, this is a miracle. ”

After the visit, in the time alone, Dumpling said with some excitement.

"If we have this, the company's animation industry will definitely be ahead of other companies, and there are also domestic special effects companies, but neither the technology nor the industry is so developed."

Listening to the dumplings, Jiang Bai thought for a while: "It is estimated that it is not cheap to invest in such a set of equipment, and the most important thing is whether people are willing to sell this thing to us, and now this technology is still very advanced." ”

"Brother Jiang,I think it's really necessary for us to buy such a back,At least it's definitely worth studying,I feel that the future animation industry basically has only two general directions,The first is to turn 2D to 3D and then make it into 2D,The second is this kind of motion capture,As long as the model is designed beautifully enough,Then coupled with this kind of action details that can be comparable to real life,I don't dare to think about what animation will develop in the future."

Jiang Bai smiled after listening to the dumplings: "Coward, I dare to think about it." ”

At this time, Su Rou also covered her mouth and smiled: "Then you are a daredevil." ”

In fact, as early as "The Matrix", Jiang Bai had this idea, because this kind of motion capture can be used not only in cartoons, but also in ordinary movies.

The special effects aspect is definitely one of the outlets in the future, but there are a lot of things that need to be invested to do this, and Jiang Bai didn't have much money at that time.

But now that he has money, Dumpling said this, he feels that if he waits for his money to be in place, maybe he can really study and study in this area.

"Let's go back to that, let's make a movie first, and in the next period of time, you can learn from their side and see what skills you have to master.

I remember that many of our domestic films are actually produced through foreign companies in terms of special effects, if we can make this money and be the first person to eat crabs, then I will consider setting up a company to do this in retrospect, and then let you be the person in charge, but the premise is that you must be proficient in this aspect. ”

"No problem!" Dumpling confidently agreed.

Although Jiang Bai has already participated in the filming of "The Matrix" through this technology, the production of this kind of animation is still different from traditional movies, even if Jiang Bai comes, they have to discuss it first.

Now the action has been designed, and the corresponding models have been processed, including the scenes used in this animated film, which are also taken from real scenes in China.

"Mr. Jiang, these movements of yours are really wonderful, after you sent us the video, we discussed, and after no problem, we have begun to let people draw these movements, but one of the problems we are currently facing is that the movements you designed are all traditional Chinese martial arts, and the action actors we found here are not very familiar with traditional Chinese martial arts.

So before you start filming, you need to train them, after all, you're the action director of Kung Fu Panda. ”

"No problem, that's my job." Jiang Bai smiled, "But I need to get to know them first." ”

"No problem."

The next day, director John found all the action crews, none of them were people Jiang Bai knew, which is also normal, just like those martial arts stand-ins in China, most of them don't show their faces, and they also belong to the category of behind-the-scenes personnel in the crew.

first learned about their martial arts skills, and a few people were directly passed by Jiang Bai, and finally left four.

But judging from the current situation, four people are definitely not enough.

Although it is possible to play two roles by one person, then they will have a lot more things to learn, and Jiang Bai will have more time to teach.

"Well, why don't I find two people from the country?"

"No problem, as long as you can meet the shooting, Mr. Jiang, it doesn't matter if you call a few more."

Hearing this, Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this big company is different, this is called a wealthy person.

Jiang Bai thought about it, Wang Baoqiang must be called over, among the kung fu actors around him, Wang Baoqiang is the one he is most familiar with, and then Wu Jing and Zhao Wensheng, when Jiang Bai contacted a few people, they all said that they were now in the crew and couldn't get out.

The kind of particularly big name is not easy to find, and after thinking about it, Jiang Bai suddenly thought of someone.

Zhang Jin.

The two have met once before, that time in "Hero", Zhang Jin has never been on as his martial arts stand-in once, and he often only exists as his own sparring partner in the crew.

Later, the two did not work together again, but it seems that Zhang Jin developed well later, first as a martial arts instructor in the Hollywood action comedy "Breaking Bads 2", and later as a martial arts instructor in the Hollywood action film "Daredevil".

I also acted in a few TV series last year, and the response was quite good.

So Jiang Bai found Zhang Jin's phone again and dialed the other party.

"Hey, Brother Jin, do you have time lately?"

"What's wrong? Jiang Bai, recently I have been preparing for a movie with my master. ”

"Okay, has he recently taken on a new job as an action director?"

"Yes, it's a movie directed by Feng Xiaogang."

Speaking of this, Jiang Bai knows that Feng Xiaogang also wants to develop in costume movies, so he is currently planning to make a film, and at that time he also wants to find Jiang Bai to play a role in it, according to the range, it should be the second male lead.

But Jiang Bai now only wants to play the male lead in this kind of film, and the male lead in this movie is Ge You, there is no substitution at all, first, Ge You's acting skills are really exquisite, after all, Uncle Ge is the first person who won the first Cannes Best Actor.

Second, the relationship between Ge You and Feng Xiaogang is not good, most of the movies made by Feng Xiaogang have Ge You's figure, so Jiang Bai later chose "Assembly Number".

"Do you have a role in this? Or is it just a martial arts instructor or stand-in as before? ”

"I'm a martial arts instructor in this."

"So, when will your movie start?"

"It's probably May, it's about to start, and I heard that after Director Feng finishes filming this drama, he will shoot another one next."

The other one is naturally "The Assembly".

At this moment, another voice came from Zhang Jin's side: "Who is it?" How can the movie be messed up and talked about? ”

When Zhang Jin heard this, he hurriedly turned his head: "Master, it's Jiang Bai who called." ”

"Jiang Bai?" Yuan Heping was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand: "Speaking of which, he and I haven't seen each other for a while, let me have a chat with him." ”

Zhang Jin hurriedly handed the phone to Yuan Heping.

"Hey, Jiang Bai, how are you doing? Where are you filming? ”

"I'm in a beautiful country now, and there's a cartoon coming to me, and I feel pretty good, and I can learn something, so I'm here."

"That's good, try to study hard over there, but you called Zhang Jin this time and asked him what he was doing lately, and asked about the schedule, should you be looking for him to film?"

Yuan Heping said with a smile: "I also watched your "Jianghu", and it was very powerful, if you have this kind of similar movie again, you can actually consider me as an apprentice." ”

Jiang Bai also smiled: "That's definitely no problem, I will definitely consider Brother Jin first next time I make a kung fu movie, but calling here this time is actually another thing, because I need some action actors here, but the people I know don't have schedules, so I want to ask Brother Jin if he wants to come over, the salary is easy to say, they are very rich here, mainly because this form is quite novel." ”

Yuan Heping thought about it, now Zhang Jin is his right-hand man, and there is a lot of work for Zhang Jin to do in "Night Banquet".

"I'm afraid he won't be able to pull away now."

"That's right." Jiang Bai sighed, if Zhang Jin said this, Jiang Bai felt that he could fight for it again, but when it came out of Yuan Baye's mouth, it would be equivalent to covering the coffin board.

Listening to Jiang Bai's voice a little low, Yuan Heping smiled: "But this matter is not so absolute, if you promise me that I can find a good role for Zhang Jin to play in the future, I will release him, how about it?" ”

Yuan Heping said with a smile.

With his qualifications, it was no problem for Jiang Bai to say such things, and he also believed in Zhang Jin's ability.

Because Yuan Heping's own idea is to wait for a few years to let Zhang Jin go out to be an action director by himself.

"That's right, Eighth Master, you can directly give Brother Jin a holiday, in another year or two, I plan to shoot the second part of "Jianghu", and then I will invite Brother Jin to play a role."

"Okay, I just like the way you talk happily, it's not a mother-in-law at all, when do you want someone over there?"

"The sooner the better, preferably tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

After Yuan Heping finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly and returned the phone to Zhang Jin: "You don't have to go here for "Night Banquet", I will arrange for someone else to take over your work, and tomorrow you will take a plane to the beautiful country to film with Jiang Bai." ”

Zhang Jin is now confused, he is about to leave the crew of "Night Banquet"?

"Is it so fast, Master, isn't "Night Banquet" the work of director Feng Xiaogang?"

"Hehe, yes, but it doesn't matter, you're just a martial arts instructor, and you can't show your face in this film, and you don't show anything, it's better to go to Jiang Bai, although you can't show your face on his side, but at least you can play a role.

I've taken you to Hollywood before, but that's just a martial arts instructor, being an actor there is completely different from being a martial arts instructor, and in the future, even if you're acting in a cartoon, you've been an actor in Hollywood. ”

Zhang Jin nodded, he never doubted his master's words, if the master didn't value himself, he wouldn't take him to major movies as a martial arts instructor.

Although he has not filmed many scenes over the years, he has also met many people as a martial arts instructor.

So on the third day, Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Jin also came here one after another.

After giving them a general explanation of the situation here, they began to follow those foreign martial artists to learn from Jiang Bai.

Wang Baoqiang is good at Shaolin Kung Fu, because he was a lay disciple in the Shaolin Temple when he was a child.

And Zhang Jin is good at Baguazhang, Taijiquan and Taiji Sword, and his plasticity is very strong.

Because Jiang Bai is an action director, John and Mark respect Jiang Bai's ideas when it comes to selecting action actors.

So when Jiang Bai asked Zhang Jin and Wang Baoqiang to show the two directors their kung fu, the two directors quickly agreed to let them join the group.

The next step is to assign roles.

Angelina Jolie, Cheng Long, Liu Yuling and others mentioned by the other party earlier are all good voice actors they are looking for.

So you can't see it until the dubbing is done after the movie is made.

Jiang Bai was originally the protagonist, so he was naturally responsible for the dubbing and motion capture of the panda Po, but considering the level of those foreign martial arts, Jiang Bai arranged for himself the dubbing and motion capture of a villain.

"My role is Po and the remnant leopard, of course, the name of this villain character is what I thought of later, they wanted to call Taro at first, but I refused, compared to the remnant leopard, which is more in line with the image of this character."

"Baoqiang, you are also two characters, one is the raccoon master and the other is the golden monkey.

There are also Brother Jin, you are also two, Tigress and Linghe, because these two characters have more movements, plus Brother Jin, your learning ability is a little faster, so you will work hard to play two, and let other martial artists play the rest. ”

"No problem."

A lot of people have seen that script, and they're going to play the main characters.

Although Tigress is a female character, Zhang Jin also worked as a martial arts stand-in for Zhang Ziyi before, so there is no problem at all.

After agreeing like this, Jiang Bai began to teach them kung fu, and Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Jin's learning speed was really fast, and after those foreign martial artists slowly learned a set of moves, the two of them had already learned all the two roles they were going to play.

And the two directors, John and Mark, are also very satisfied with the progress on their side.

As for the dumplings on the other side, they have already established a good relationship with those staff who are engaged in motion capture, and they are knocking on some technical problems every day.

He is now working hard to get this equipment in his own company.

In addition, their animation skills are also worth learning from him.

"This time, thanks to Brother Jiang, I estimate that one day in the future, I will definitely be able to make an absolutely explosive animated movie, and then use the box office of the cartoon to do all the live-action movies!"
