I really don't want to fight with gods

So after Jing Xiaoqiang showed the cutscene animation project of "Tomb Raider" again, the old man was completely disappointed, "What kind of animation is this called?"

But the expression on his face didn't know whether it was joy or anger, or both.

It turned out that it was just such a relief, or you actually tricked me into running so far and wasting so much time!
Judy on the monitor is absolutely fine in her attire, but she is rolling and jumping in the artificial bushes cut down in front of the green screen, and the exposed corners of the tropical rainforest and the ruins of the ancient tomb are all added later!
Not to mention duang, duang, duang, even if the sports underwear is filled with a lot of stuff, she doesn't have this talent.

In fact, it is completely possible to go to Cambodian Puzhai to shoot on-site, and then do post-production with a sense of painting.

But Jing Xiaoqiang felt that he had to do post-production anyway, and was too lazy to pull people over, so he just shot in front of the green screen next door to save costs.

I even thought about asking Du Ruolan to be a substitute...

Forget it, don't flirt with girls who concentrate on doing things.

In short, I am fooling graduate students, so I can be more serious in the field that I am particularly good at and familiar with.

But facing the accusation of the animation master, he didn't blush at all: "Look at the logo on this computer case, Intel's pentiu processor, this is the first generation, according to the development rules and principles of electronic chips, the computing power can be increased every eighteen months. The increase is doubled, so a new generation of processors with stronger capabilities will be launched every one or two years. It will only take five or six years to ten times the current capabilities, and ten times in ten years. Please remember , this is the first generation of processors, and the field is just getting started..."

Click on the "Need for Speed" cutscene.

If "Tomb Raider" attracts players with its beautiful appearance, the racing game itself has a super mechanical beauty.

The early computer animation has unparalleled advantages in expressing metal and glass materials.

The Toyota 222d sports car with the interstellar aesthetics of a spaceship gallops by head-on, and then there is a slow-motion shot of drifting and drifting!
Whether it is the mottled rust and damage of the car body at the moment of interlacing, or the racing window with perforated plexiglass, the texture is vividly reflected.

The old man rested his hands on his knees again, staring intently, and murmured fast: "Amazing, amazing technology, still terrible detail production!"

Jing Xiaoqiang showed him the opened project file on the computer next to him, modeling the racing car that can roll freely, specifying the running track, and then rendering and calculating it into a file...

"The principle of all computer production is the same. It gives the appearance of the first frame, and then gives the end of the last frame. The details of the movement in the middle are calculated by the computer. Now it is so stiff that it can only be made of metal machinery. You see, we dare not do it. The dust splashed from the ground is flying, and the computing power of the computer is not enough. The softer and floating things need more computing power, but can you draw vivid and flexible lines from the first day you pick up the brush? Have you learned a little bit? Mastering, the same is true for computers, and its learning ability is not only very strong, it will become several times stronger every one or two years, the key is that it will never get tired and never get old..."

Miyazaki was stunned.

This is the famous stalk that Jing Xiaoqiang learned about Jun Miyazaki later. He would retire every three or four years, but because there was no one to take the lead to make a good animation, or he was not satisfied with what his successor did, he came back and started working again. .

...

Until I was in my 80s, I retired and came back seven or eight times, and I was still drawing drafts by myself on the front line.

In fact, the past ten years have been the most productive and brilliant ten years for Old Man Gong. At the age of 43, he really established his status as a great god with "Nausicaa of the Wind", and he just announced his second retirement last year...

Compared with Jing Xiaoqiang's singing career, drawing animation is an extremely boring and exhausting chore. More than a dozen pictures per second have to be drawn one by one, not to mention the colorful colors in the picture have to be added with a brush.

Human energy is limited after all.

Jing Xiaoqiang finally opened the drawing software and demonstrated it casually, "Of course I hope to cooperate with you and Mr. Jiu Shirang in the game, but it doesn't matter if you don't cooperate. I wish you can make better animated films in the future. This is just me as a half-peer. A little suggestion from you, the sooner you use the computer to share the workload, the sooner you can focus more on storytelling and character details, which are your best at touching people,
That's all. "

There are already digital drawing boards, and Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" two years ago is a trial product that uses a lot of CG hand-painted technology.

It became the first animated film to be nominated for an Oscar.

Although the drawing boards these days are not so strong in feel and brush strokes, they can already realize a large number of functions similar to hand-painting with brush strokes through software.

Of course, this thing is still very rare. Jing Xiaoqiang only knew that they already had this "secret high-end technology" after dealing with Disney. Of course, he immediately asked Chen Weiyu. Sure enough, the Citigroup architect industry is the main user, and it started a few years ago. It is used for CAD drawing, and now it has been developed to a high-end version, so I paid a lot of money to buy two sets of the most expensive ones.

A set is handed over to the stage art major for those who are interested in teaching and thinking, and here it is purely for demonstration, without any expert level.

Jing Xiaoqiang is also not interested in this kind of electronic pen that does not have precise pressure sensitivity. He can only simply sketch, change strokes, and choose colors to simulate painting.

But the most basic and most powerful thing about computer software is that it can cancel the repetition step by step from the first operation to the final result, and can start halfway from a certain stage at any time, and the computer will not be bored or emotional. Eating and drinking Lazard, as long as you master this tool proficiently, you will be even more powerful.

It's funny. At this time in his previous life, Jing Xiaoqiang refused computers very much and stubbornly stayed away from such crooked ways, but now he is trying to persuade a boss in his 50s who will not change his mind easily.

So he didn't say much, it was to help fans all over the world who love the works of the old man Gong, even if the cg technology was used one day earlier, it would reduce the burden on the old man's artistic creativity, and maybe there would be two more good works. .

The old man didn't know if he had seen this thing before, but just stared blankly at Jing Xiaoqiang unconsciously drawing outlines on the screen.

He still has a little foundation in art. He draws a u, then draws ears left and right, two eyes, a Y-shaped muzzle, and then wraps around this curly wool like drawing a telephone wire.

It belongs to the little trick used to make dancing girlfriends happy.

The old man suddenly asked, "What do you think of animation, is it just for children to watch so casually?"

Jing Xiaoqiang just laughed, "You are sending a sub-question. Anyone with a little IQ and EQ will not answer yes, but as a professional who has been studying drama for almost eight years, I can tell you clearly that animation is Movies and animation are art that can tell gorgeous and complex stories. Many times people watch animation just because it is really more exciting than many film and television works starring real people. No house collapse, do you know what a house collapse is? Star actors are a sacred and beautiful house in the eyes of fans. If there is some negative news about a star or news of a love affair, it means that the "house" of the fans "Collapsed, animation will not, even after 100 years, Buzz is still that brave and fearless boy..."

...

That was the corner of Old Man Gong's first movie "Castle in the Sky" after he set up his own company.

A few years ago, this movie was released, but it was a smash at the box office, which was embarrassing.

But like Xingzi’s Westward Journey, it hit the street like hell when it was released. After 30 or [-] years, those high-grossing best-selling movies in the same period have disappeared, but these two high-street hits have become new for a long time and have become cultural symbols. Follow forever classic.

The old man Gong laughed, very warm and childlike: "Okay, I promise you will try to see what the computer can do, of course, the main reason is that I am very interested in the story you told, and I am very familiar with it. Can you tell me how you plan to do this musical?"

Oh, that's Jing Xiaoqiang's specialty, and he can still hear the implication that they can cooperate.

After all, this story is too interesting and charming.

Smiling and taking off the white coat and shoe covers with the old man, Du Ruolan saw many teachers and students waiting outside. Du Ruolan took the lead proudly and shiningly, "Our performance for more than half a month has been very successful and very successful!"

She has already tasted the joy of being able to shine with confidence and independence even without relying on Jing Xiaoqiang.

Jing Xiaoqiang also repays everyone "The performance of the "Snow Valley" musical drama team in Tokyo was also very successful, so the next step is for us to create new plays to fill the singing and dancing center.
Take it to Tokyo, take it to Broadway to show our style!"

Everyone remembers him on his business trips, especially seeing the stack of photos Pan Yunyan brought back. Only when the expansion is bigger and more successful, everyone will have more opportunities to see the world.

Nature is rejoicing.

Of course, many people looked curiously at the old man with a gray beard next to him. Jing Xiaoqiang took them to the rehearsal hall next door, and briefly explained the function of the green screen to the old man Gong. Everyone try this scene...

Go to the upright piano in the corner and start playing the song "Oil House" that attracted Jiu Shirang.

The humorous and cheerful music style immediately led everyone to subconsciously shake their heads and wave their hands...

This is the signature course that Jing Xiaoqiang brought to Wang Qian, and gradually popularized to the Department of Dance of Shanghai Opera, which is the signature course of the major of musical drama.

It is no longer the kind of dance routine that emphasizes stylization, but to listen to the song and dance, to feel the beat, emotion, and plot by yourself while listening to the music. Everyone has their own feelings, dig out the most real desire to express in their hearts, and show them.

This is the core artistic feature of modern dance. Movements, difficulty, and skills are not even the end point. Emotion and expression are the most important.

When Jing Xiaoqiang sang the self-deprecating lyrics of the working people in Japanese, "There is only life left, only the heavy and tired life..."

Those who have been to the Jiaobain performance can clearly feel the taste of the standard Japanese ditty.

Those who study foreign languages ​​as hard as Du Ruolan can understand the plot better.

Roll up your sleeves to your arms, and turn up your palms to mimic a clog-wearing choreography.

In the Harbor Theater, you can see the actors performing these traditional dance skills.

The entire dance hall immediately became lively and extraordinary.

The old man Gong stood there, as if he had seen the noisy hospitality of the oil house bathhouse in "Spirited Away".

Excited, I fumbled in my pockets to find paper and pens to record my inspiration.

Only Pan Yunyan stood in the corner, calmly holding the camera to take pictures of this singing and dancing scene.

Jing Xiaoqiang's teaching news can also be published in the newspaper.
