I really can't act

Chapter 181 Motion Capture Technology

two hours later.

Fang Yi hugged a small helicopter, came out of the DJ's headquarters, looked back at the residential area, and Zhenjie drove him away.

"The DJ company is currently like this. Wang Tao, a man of science and technology, accounts for 70% of the shares, and his friends when he was in college account for the remaining 30%. Wang Tao started his family and saved 1.6 Hong Kong dollars. If you can’t carry it on, the company will be disbanded—a friend contributed 08 U.S. dollars in sponsorship, and thus got shares.”

After Fang Yi finished speaking, Zhenjie replied to him, "Are you the first investor they met?"

"No, to be precise, I'm the first investor they are interested in. Although their company is small, what they lack is not money, but valuable money."

Sister Zhen drove around the streets of Pengcheng, and responded calmly, "Yeah."

Fang Yi continued, "I invested 100 million, and I want to get [-]%, which is equivalent to valuing his small team at tens of millions - but in the end it only talked about [-]%, and he didn't want any more. Wang Tao would rather ask for less money, and he wants to use the shares to realize other values.”

"He needs... influential investors from upstream and downstream, who can help him improve his reputation and help him get channels... The reason why I can participate is because I can be a director, which opened up the film and television circle for him. Propaganda for him..."

"Men from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology add a new director, so that the team can look decent..."

Fang Yi was eloquent.

After a stop at a traffic light, Zhenjie said, "Fang Yi, actually I can't understand it. I work in the media and hype... I don't understand this kind of hardware, and I think you I don't quite understand...you are very risky in doing this, I haven't heard much about celebrities investing in these things."

"But I think there are always inherent reasons why the investment in the industry is still concentrated in traditional businesses."

Fang Yi agreed with the manager's last sentence, ignoring the previous one.Lift up the little helicopter on the car seat and imagine where it can be used.

For the next week, Fang Yi has been running Tissot's publicity in southern cities, and then returned to the capital. The glorious "Zhen San" series will release a new DLC "Jiang Wei Biography", which requires him to enter the studio as a motion capture actor.

After "Zhen San" was released, it was well received in Asia. The new character "Jiang Wei" has gorgeous skills and has no solution. He quickly became the strongest in the version and is very popular. There are many CG screenshots.

The most interesting thing is that there are not only Chinese fans, but also local players in Toyo who strongly demand the addition of Chinese dubbing.

As mentioned before, Takeshi Kaneshiro once made a face model for "Onimusha 3", but due to the technical limitations of the times, it is actually difficult to see Takeshi Kaneshiro's appearance. The sales of the game were also bleak, and there was no sequel after that.

On the contrary, the queen Wang Fei contributed the global theme song "Eyes on me" to Square's game "Final Fantasy 8", which won unanimous praise. Demon, helped her earn a wave of fame.

This time "Zhen San" required Fang Yi not only to contribute his face, but also to add related actions designed by the game.

Glory has adopted a new motion capture technology, which is said to be able to capture millions of pixels, and reproduce the expressions on the actor's face one-to-one; Glory has created a humanoid mechanical device for Fang Yi, which can be tracked by built-in sensors And measure the movement trajectory to restore the actor's own movements.

However, this thing is quite stiff to wear and the movement is not smooth.It is necessary to constantly adjust and maintain the posture according to the requirements of the motion capture director. It is not so much a motion capture as a "quiet" capture.

Fortunately, Fang Yi wears very handsome mechanical equipment, like a soldier who has traveled through the future, and has the most sensors on his face. Once he makes a big expression, the computer will immediately calculate a [-]D model.

This feeling is quite interesting. Fang Yi will come down to look at the screen after completing the actions as required.

On it, "Jiang Wei" either chops, stabs, or simply jumps. The imitation is very realistic, but the movements are slow.

"Can this kind of thing be used in movies?"

Fang Yi thought in his heart, but he felt that it was unlikely, because movies had higher requirements for details than today's games, and the motion capture technology was far from being able to be used to make movies.

The fatal flaw is that it is too sluggish.

Producer Ryoho Suzuki learned that Fang Yi is also a director, so he took the initiative to chat with him.

"Fang Sang, are you interested in going to Dongyang to do publicity? Many employees of our Guangrong Co., Ltd. are your fans; in the player survey we did, the support rate of Dongyang players is no worse than that of Chinese districts. You are especially in line with our imagination of beautiful Chinese men. .”

Ryoho Suzuki added: "In other words, it is the imagination of the new generation of Oriental young people for the new generation of beautiful Chinese men."

Fang Yi joked, "What kind of imagination?"

Ryoho Suzuki explained very seriously, "It's the sense of atmosphere from the majestic continent, not as stingy as an island country. We want to pursue a handsome but not overly feminine appearance, and you are exactly like this. Therefore, we dare to put you Do you understand if you put your image on the cover of the game... The world's cultural circles are generally left-wing, while the country as a whole is conservative, and you will be scolded for using Chinese as the main propagandists...but you don't."

"Award."

Takeshi Kaneshiro is of mixed Chinese and Japanese blood, so he can be the protagonist of Toyo games.

As for the appearance of the islanders, the problem is indeed genetic. The Yayoi race is smaller than the mainland race, and the other race, the Jomon people, look back to their ancestors, but it is hard for him to tell.

Ryoho Suzuki asked, "Can you go to Toyo to promote it once? This is also a request from the players."

"I have a movie to be released. If the box office in Japan is good, we can promote it together."

Ryoho Suzuki gave a thumbs up, "Fang Sang's movie is definitely good, I will pay attention to it. What's the name?"

"'Love Has an Afterlife'."

Soon, Fang Yi had to go into the studio to record the action, which was not easy and quite exhausting.During the period, Ryoho Suzuki asked Fang Yi to play the game "Zhen San" and declared:
"Different from Eastern players who like Lu Bu the general, players in the Chinese area don't like Lu Bu, but in Fang Sang's generation, no matter where the players are, they all like the new character Jiang Wei the most. In fact, it's not just Fang Sang's good appearance, To put it mildly, it is indeed our fault..."

Fang Yi manipulated the character portrayed based on himself, drove Wushuang to mow the grass for a period of time, and understood what Suzuki Ryoho meant.

His character is more delicate, and his movements are more anthropomorphic. In other words, the sense of lag in manipulation has been reduced a lot. I am afraid that for hardcore players, this is the truth of Jiang Wei's popularity.

"Producer Suzuki, can motion capture technology be applied to movies?"

After finishing the work, Fang Yi asked Ryoho Suzuki.

The man hesitated and replied: "It shouldn't be possible within five years. How can we use today's motion capture technology to make movies? I heard that there are big directors in the United States who are trying, but I don't think so."

Fang Yi: "Avatar?"

Ryoho Suzuki said excitedly, "Sodeers."

"Is Toyo's technology the most advanced in the world?"

"One of the most advanced..."

Fang Yi pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions. DJ's little helicopter, glorious motion capture... these things seemed to remind him of something, but he still couldn't get a clue.
