Director’s Legend

0135 【Expression Capture】

Bao Jingjing, a student of the Department of Literature at Nortel, has a sharp tongue. Although she is not the well-known older grieving woman in the future, her basic style has already taken shape. In school, she is the female version of "Wang Shuo" recognized by her classmates. Enemies are cruel and ruthless, but lovers are sweet and soft.

The dizzy Shao Shuaijun spent almost an hour dispelling Bao Jingjing's doubts about him, claiming that he would come to Chasing Dream Entertainment the next day to verify whether it was true.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun felt that his throat was about to burst into flames.

But it's worth it to bring Bao Jingjing here. This is a newcomer with a bright future. In the trajectory of her previous life, she became popular with "33 Days of Broken Love" and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Later, he won many screenwriting awards with the TV series "Floating and Sinking", which is not a flashing meteor.

The next day, with dark circles under his eyes, Shao Shuaijun met Bao Jingjing, a shy female student wearing a Little Red Riding Hood at the company. I really don't know why there is so much resentment hidden in such a gentle and quiet appearance, sharp and mean.

"Bao Jingjing is, it was fun to scold me yesterday?"

Bao Jingjing was a little at a loss: "Are you really director Shao Shuaijun?"

"Didn't you see the sign outside the company? If it's fake, it will be replaced. Today, there are not many people who dare to scold me like this, except for my parents. You are an exception." Shao Shuaijun said angrily, Seeing Bao Jingjing's appearance as a child who made a mistake, she asked curiously, "I said, how can you talk so well on the phone, and when you get here, you get the little girl up?"

"I was just a little girl."

"Pfft." Shao Shuaijun spit out a sip of tea on the spot, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, I am very optimistic about your screenwriting, and invite you to join our company, do you want to?"

"willing."

"Very good." Shao Shuaijun asked his assistant Wang Cuicui to come over, "Xiao Cui, you take her to Wang Yixue, and tell Wang Yixue that this little girl has a poisonous mouth, but she has some talent. Let her learn how to write a screenplay."

"Okay, Bao Jingjing, follow me."

After dealing with Bao Jingjing, Shao Shuaijun rushed back to the Lihuayuan community immediately. Huang Xiaoxian's house in "33 Days of Broken Love" was filmed in Liu Shishi's house, making everything more real. For this reason, Liu Shishi had to move to Haiqing's house, vacated his house, and handed it over to the crew to start the layout.

Shao Shuaijun crossed his arms and thought about shooting in the elevator.

Gao Zhisheng and Li Fangfang were busy directing, Wen Zhang was playing with Liu Shishi, Yang Ying and Bai Baihe each held a bowl of porridge, while drinking, they looked at the crew and laughed from time to time.

Seeing him, Shao Shuaijun yelled: "That Yang Ying, what time is it now? It's almost noon. Didn't I ask you to go to Sister Wang's school? What are you still doing?"

Yang Ying was taken aback: "There is no class this morning."

"No class? Even if there is no class, you can't get up so late. What do you mean, don't you know how to get up early to practice your acting skills? Most of the scenes will be filmed soon, and it's your camera. If you can't act well, you will wait. Cry." Shao Shuaijun came over and rubbed his belly. He didn't get up early today and hadn't had breakfast yet. "Porridge? Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes." Yang Ying was criticized, her voice became much softer.

"Is there any more? Go get me a bowl."

"okay."

Shao Shuaijun turned his head to look at Bai Baihe again: "You don't want to go to class either?"

"today is Sunday."

"Don't you need to go out on a date?"

"What?" Bai Baihe was a little flustered.

Shao Shuaijun glanced at Bai Baihe: "I have very loose control over artists. You can be in love or anything, but you still have to be careful. Try to wear makeup when you are dating. You are still a newcomer, and the reporter hit you. The packaging will be greatly discounted."

"Boss, do you know everything?"

Shao Shuaijun nodded, Bai Baihe has been in frequent contact with Chen Yufan from Yuquan's group recently. Shao Shuaijun knew that the two of them would get back together in the future, and he was unwilling to break up the couple: "Chen Yufan, of course I know that pursuing love is not wrong, as an artist, it's better to keep a low profile."

"We're not in love yet..."

Yang Ying came out with a bowl of porridge: "Boss, porridge."

"No side dishes?"

"No."

"Remember to put some side dishes at home next time." Shao Shuaijun criticized and walked away with the bowl. Gao Zhisheng had come to inform him that the scene was set up. Sitting behind the monitor, drinking warm porridge while directing the show, Shao Shuaijun felt very comfortable.

In this way, it took five days to finish filming the scenes at Huang Xiaoxian's home.

Afterwards, Gao Zhisheng and Li Fangfang were carefully handed over some location scenes, and Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States.

He needs to review the progress of "Painted Skin". It's already the end of November, and the weather is getting colder. However, the progress of "Painted Skin" is still very slow. With the cooperation of several special effects companies, less than one-tenth of it has been completed.

After watching the special effects shots, Gao Yang gave a detailed introduction.

"Director, the degree of realism required by you has always been a huge problem. Particle effects can only partially imitate the effect of the background. For the prototype production of monsters, it is always a bit abrupt with the background. Now we are all waiting to see some special effects Can the company come up with an effective solution?"

"What if you can't?"

Miao Chenshan shook his head: "Either reduce the resolution, or re-shoot. Our previous shooting was a two-dimensional picture, which is inconvenient to record the expressions of monsters. We have inquired and discussed with several special effects companies. Sony Image Production Company , The actor’s expression capture system invented by research can effectively help us construct expressions. However, in this case, the crew needs to be reconvened, which is a huge expense and a waste of time.”

"Old Yang, what do you mean?" Shao Shuaijun asked Yang Hongtao, who basically represented the investor of "Painted Skin".

Yang Hongtao thought for a while: "Basically, what we mean is that if we can overcome it with special effects, we won't call up the crew. The normal shooting of "Painted Skin" cost more than 50 million yuan. In terms of special effects, the amount of 150 million yuan can be completed. It’s a bit stretched. It’s too expensive to gather the crew and use the expression capture system. Moreover, it affects the release date, and the summer file cannot be released. In order to get a bigger box office, it must be moved to the Spring Festival file. Such an investment cycle is too long. .”

"The final battle between the monsters is the highlight, and I will never allow any abrupt expressions." Shao Shuaijun frowned, "Could it be that the technology of digital painting can't even meet the 4K standard?"

The current 35mm film is generally between 1k and 2k. k is the image quality index describing the resolution. 2k generally refers to 2048x1556 resolution, which is the mainstream projection configuration of theaters on the market. Shao Shuaijun asked for 4k because the resolution loss was serious during the copying process of the master tape. There is no 4k standard. After n times of copying, after being screened in theaters, it may not even reach 2k.

In this case, "Painted Skin" consumes such a large amount of production, and it can only release the effects of ordinary movies. Is there any point?
