Although he was very excited, he still had work at hand, so Duane was not in a hurry to start this new project. After Beijin participated in the Huabiao Awards, he returned to Nanyang to continue filming of "Terminator".

At this moment, he was sitting on the chair, holding a lunch box - everyone else had eaten it, and the director, who had been busy with other things just now, has only taken time to eat.

While eating, he looked at Su Yun's head in front of him, and the words of the special effects master came from his ears: "...At that time, as long as someone stands behind and operates, it's fine, like this."

Special effects expert Qian Guoming put the half-human model on himself and demonstrated it to Du An.

I saw that this model made entirely with Su Yun's head was turned upside down under Qian Guoming's manipulation, drooping, shaking left and right. Half of it was a normal human face, lifelike, Su Yun, and the other half of the eyes were dug out. The part of the eye was supposed to be a black mechanical eyeball, which was very strange.

Even under the blue sky and white sun, it was still a bit scary to watch such a scene.

Duan took a bite of the chicken leg, chewed it twice and swallowed it, holding the chopsticks and pointing it out, "Why don't your eyes blink?"

Qian Guoming paused when he heard this, he poked his head out from behind the half-body model and smiled bitterly: "Director Du, it's already great to be able to do this. How can he maintain a normal blinking frequency like a real person?"

Du An shook his head, "No, it's still a bit fake." After saying that, he asked Su Yun next to him, "What do you think?"

Su Yun's face looked a little bad, she forced a smile and said, "I think it's pretty good."

Anyone who sees another self in front of him and has only his upper body will feel a little uncomfortable.

Duan took another bite of rice, chewed slowly, and said nothing.

The normal part of "Terminator" is easy to shoot, which is what Duane is good at, and these special effects shots are a bit difficult to deal with, just like the scene to be filmed later: the next scene is a scene where the Terminator was broken after a chase, returned to his temporary residence and cut off the simulated eyeball with a knife, revealing the mechanical eyeball below.

After discussing with the crew's special effects engineer, the special effects engineer Qian Guoming suggested shooting with a model, saying that this is what the circle does now. It was the first time Duan shot this special effects film, so he followed Qian Guoming's opinion and asked him to make a reverse model for Su Yun's head in advance. It took him more than ten days to come up with such a model.

Qian Guoming's level is pretty good. This model is lifelike. At first glance, I can't tell the difference between it and Su Yun himself. No wonder Su Yun's face is not very good-looking.

But Duane still felt that he was not satisfied enough.

It’s nothing, just because I feel it’s not real enough. After careful observation, I can still find that this model is still a little stiffer than a real person, and the details cannot be the same as a real person. Especially once it moves, the stiffness is more obvious and is far less flexible than the real person.

Duan even thought of a further part: after this eye-catching scene, it is necessary to splice Su Yun's normal performance. Now that the model is so rigid, it is obvious that after splicing it with Su Yun's performance, it will obviously create a strange feeling - it is like a person suddenly changes from slow motion to normal movement, which looks very abrupt.

This is something he can't tolerate.

"Can you do it with CG?"

Duan suddenly turned around and asked someone next to him.

This man is a fair-looking man, who looks in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and is gentle and has a bit messy hair.

His name is Guo Tingkun, the post-production special effects engineer of Industrial Light and Magic, is here to guide a series of problems such as how to deal with scenes that need to be processed in filming.

“It can be done with CG,”

Guo Tingkun said: "But based on our current technical level, the effect will not be much better than the current model, but the funds are required to be spent too much, so in terms of cost-effectiveness, I do not recommend using CG." Unlike ordinary technicians who only pay attention to technology and do not consider realistic factors, Guo Tingkun has a good grasp of funds and technology, which is also the reason why Li Mingyuan sent him to the team to be a post-production special effects engineer.

Qian Guoming disagreed with Du An's words and kindly interrupted, "Director Du, this is how it is filmed in China, and it is not worth wasting money."

Du An knew that Qian Guoming was right. Most people think like Qian Guoming, but in his opinion, it is because of too many such ideas that domestic special effects technology has not been developed: everyone is thinking about cost-effectiveness and thinks it is enough to make do with it. How to develop technology? If you want to develop technology, you must have the spirit of craftsmanship like Li Mingyuan who strives for excellence.

Duane shook his head, "Others are others, I am me." Then he turned to ask Guo Tingkun: "If you use CG, how much effect will be better?"

Guo Tingkun was in trouble: "This kind of thing is difficult to quantify..."

Duan changed his statement: "Can the audience be able to watch it twice or three times, and still can't believe it's fake?"

Guo Tingkun thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, if we are given enough time, do it slowly. But it really won't be much better. If you stare at it five or six times, you can still find something wrong."

This level is acceptable to Duane. I believe no one is so bored that he goes to the cinema to watch a movie five or six times just to stare at a camera.

"That's fine,"

Duane took a photo and said, "Then use CG to make this thing back to the library."

Qian Guoming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it.

OK, he has learned about this man's temper for a while. He said everything he said is what he said. As for the wasted funds... then leave it to the producer for headaches, it is not his business.

Duan looked at the expressions of the people around him and knew that they were puzzled by the fact that he was picking up a detail to this extent. He thought it was a waste of money, but he also had his own ideas.

In "Terminator", the Terminator slowly breaks down during several hunts, revealing the mechanical structure under the human skin bit by bit. This is a process of slow accumulation of oppression, and this sense of oppression that runs through the entire audience is also the core of the play. The eye-popping scene is the first time that the Terminator shows his non-human scene in front of the audience. It can be said that it is the top priority. Can it shock the audience? This scene plays a key role, so he does not allow any flaws. The best way to do it is, otherwise the audience will see that it is fake and it will be danced in minutes?

Even if it is fake, make them suspect that it is true.

In Duane's opinion, whether a movie can attract people is often reflected in these details. "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" is a representative of his theory - the story of "Fengyue" is actually very vulgar, but it is because his details are set to be realistic and Zhu Qian and him perform to be realistic, so it is beautiful.

In order to implement his meticulous and detailed spirit, the crew spent a lot of extra expenses: for example, Zhou Ren used 45 years of advanced hacking technology to invade the local public security system in an Internet cafe to investigate Chen Shasha's address. He could have just displayed some messy things on the computer, but he specially invited a professor from the Computer Department of Nanjing University to be a technical guide, and he also tried to send Su Yun to learn about guns, which was based on this principle.

The only one who suffered is Su Yun.

Because the next eye-digging scene was changed to CG, Su Yun was also taken with special effects makeup. When he came out, his left eye was closed and ordered not to open it. It was covered with green pigment and some red tracking points were distributed - this was to allow the computer to recognize these areas when doing special effects later, thereby digitally adding internal metal structures.

At this time, Duan also finished his meal and had no idea of ​​resting after dinner. He went straight to start work. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
