I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 419 Xiaoniaoyiren
Guo Fan introduced the light box technology to Teng Huatao and Lu Xiaohan in detail. Although "Shanghai Fortress" may not be used, Teng Huatao still listened carefully.

The biggest challenge in shooting is to express the state of weightlessness and present it to the audience. In addition to making the actors forget the feeling of gravity as much as possible, the crew will use a lot of CG animation techniques to make the synthesis more realistic.

It is no exaggeration to say that space is the ultimate dream of all mankind, and even for the dream-making machine of movies, it is no easy task to create real space on the screen.

The most ideal situation is that the entire film crew will shoot in space, but this is obviously impossible.

"In order to show the effect of weightlessness when shooting, my photography team came up with a way." Guo Fan pointed to a robotic arm and introduced: "This robotic arm is used in the automobile production line. Let's modify it a little bit. Let This mechanical arm has a movement speed of 4 meters per second, a movement radius of 3.1 meters, an action accuracy of 0.04 mm, as many as 7 joint axes, and a track of more than 10 meters, which is enough to complete various complex and delicate tasks. Actions, shooting shots from various tricky angles as you like.

Then in the shooting process, it was used together with the light box technology, and the effect was very good. "

Teng Huatao was very curious about the light box technology that Guo Fan kept mentioning, and quickly asked, "Can I see how you use it?"

Guo Fan was not stingy, and there was no need to keep this technology secret. He brought Teng Huatao to a light box, where the props team was checking and maintaining it daily.

"We specially built a cubic box about six meters high and three meters wide, mainly composed of LED screens, movable baskets, and robotic arm cameras. Surrounded by LED screens composed of 180 million light bulbs, there is a A simple movable basket, the actor teacher performed in this basket during filming.

But this light box is also flawed, it is very hot inside when working..."

When simulating weightlessness, the basket in the light box can only be moved to a 45-degree tilt, because once this angle is exceeded, the actor is in danger of falling.

In order to ensure the safety of the actors, more viewing angles will be changed through the mechanical arm to drive the lens to achieve the effect of relative displacement, and if the actor's body angle is too large, gravity will easily cause facial congestion and picture distortion.

When showing the effect of the actor "slamming" into the camera, the actor basically does not move, but the camera "slams" the actor under the precise control of the robotic arm.

Teng Huatao and Lu Xiaohan were a little surprised. To be precise, they did not expect that "The Wandering Earth" would take so much effort just to shoot the weightless shot. It seems that it was a mistake to come to investigate this time.

In fact, "Shanghai Fortress" is purely a film for making money. The preparatory work of the film was not in place at all. As the director, Teng Huatao could not decide many things at all.The purpose of their visit to "The Wandering Earth" this time is to find a balance, but they did not expect Guo Fan to gain such great trust from the investors, allowing him to use these technologies that are very unfamiliar to the Chinese-language film circle on the set.

In fact, Teng Huatao still has a question in his heart. It is said that the production cost of "The Wandering Earth" alone is already 3.5 million yuan, which is almost the investment level of a major Hollywood A-level production.As for "Shanghai Fortress", it claims to invest 2 million yuan, but in fact, the crew has less than [-] million yuan, and Teng Huatao dare not ask where the rest of the money went.

What can two hundred million do?After the actor is paid to the crew, what is the remaining production cost for him?Teng Huatao felt bitter.

And Lu Xiaohan was also quite depressed. He originally thought that Guo Fan and Li He's sci-fi films were just to catch the heat, and it was probably just a gimmick like before to cheat the audience of their money. Chinese filmmakers probably have to wait until the next century to make sci-fi films. up.

But after this visit, he discovered that he was serious. This series of unheard-of technologies brought him into contact with the forefront of China's film industry. Lu Xiaohan was a little moved for a while.

Li He looked at the reaction on Lu Xiaohan's face, and immediately felt a little funny. In all fairness, he didn't have any bad feelings for Lu Xiaohan. Unlike a certain person, Lu Xiaohan was still okay.Besides gossiping about the scandal between Guan Xiaotong and Lu Xiaohan, Li He also got to know Lu Xiaohan.

Although he looks handsome, Lu Xiaohan is still very manly in private on weekdays, and he is also good at sports. He often works out and plays football well.Of course, these are what Li Hyuk heard from others, so I don't know what the real situation is.

Although Lu Xiaohan has a lot of troubles in acting, on the one hand, he is young, and he is not a "genius actor" like Li He, on the other hand, he has not met a good guide.On the road of an actor, the master who leads the way is very important.

But Li He is interested in teaching Lu Xiaohan, let's see him play by himself, Da Mi Mi has been training for so long and he hasn't seen him as a teacher, Li He feels that he may not have the talent to be a teacher.

Seeing Lu Xiaohan's high spirits, Guo Fan asked, "Xiaohan, do you want to try it? Experience it?"

"Yes, it's all here, just give it a try, and experience the birth of China's No. [-] science fiction film." Teng Huatao also encouraged, but the film has not yet achieved results, so the title of China's No. [-] science fiction film Hanging his head on "The Wandering Earth", he was somewhat cautious.

Guo Fan didn't care either, and looked at Lu Xiaohan encouragingly. Lu Xiaohan originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Li He's playful eyes next to him, his competitive spirit was suddenly aroused.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try..."

"OK, Lao Zhang, come over and take over the camera, let's shoot a section for Xiaohan." Guo Fan beckoned and called Lao Zhang from the photography team over.

Lu Xiaohan entered the light box with the help of the prop shop, and Guo Fan asked: "Forget the feeling of gravity, you are in space now, use your imagination and perform."

Lu Xiaohan can't act well even if he has a script, let alone free play without a script, Lu Xiaohan racked his brains to make up a plot for himself.However, the effect presented in the camera is very bad, especially the wrinkled wrinkles in the middle of his brows, his wide-eyed eyes, he looks like an AB second, maybe AB is better than him.

During a performance, Guo Fan asked Li He: "How is it? Is it okay?"

Of course Li He didn't think so, so he had to say euphemistically: "There is a lot of room for improvement, please practice more."

Although it was only a few minutes, Lu Xiaohan was already sweating when he came out, and his legs were so weak that he almost couldn't stop, Li He hurriedly supported him.

However, the posture of the two of them was a bit awkward, Lu Xiaohan snuggled into Li He's arms, feeling quite like a little bird.The most terrible thing is that the assistant director is a rotten girl. She seized the opportunity to take this photo, feeling full of affection.

Lu Xiaohan quickly stood up straight, feeling a little embarrassed, after all, the posture just now was too masculine.Li He's expression was normal, and he continued to chat with Guo Fan and Teng Huatao.

Is this the world of great actors?Lu Xiaohan looked at Li He's back and thought that he couldn't take it anymore even just a little bit of experience, and Li He has been filming on the set for three or four months, like this every day.

It can be said that Li He used his own body to tell Lu Xiaohan what an excellent actor looks like. If he is willing to settle down and study hard, maybe he will become a qualified actor.

In that case, maybe Lu Xiaohan can also complete the transformation from traffic to actor. Although he won't win an award, at least he has some real skills, instead of relying on his current appearance.
