After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 384 Yang Mi, One-Day Tour with the Witch Crew
Li Mingyang ran around the base, thinking about how to shoot from the perspective of a superhuman.

It's useless.

The witch's action design, scene design, and special effects design rely more on imagination.

And it must also be within the audience's cognition.

The witch's power levels are not expressed in a very intense manner, but the audience feels very involved.

In the second part, the combat system collapsed completely.

The opponent couldn't even get close to the heroine. In this high-end game, even Wolverine and Batman only dared to watch the game with a telescope 5 kilometers away...

The combat performance is the first impression of watching the movie.

In the DC Universe, the pistol is a joke.

But every director who directs Batman likes to use guns to show Batman's expensive equipment.

This is the sense of immersion.

The audience has a clear idea of ​​the power of guns.

Immediately substituted.

After five minutes of serious time, Li Mingyang had not yet finished running the base.

He stood in the corridor, looking back at the long hallway, and suddenly frowned, "Is this base too big?"

When Li Mingyang thought of this, he began to dislike the base that cost millions.

Li Mingyang came out from the corridor, called several leaders of the crew over, and held a meeting while walking.

He wants to tear down the base.

Abandon the real scene shooting, divide the base into four major areas, and switch to single scene shooting.

When shooting like this, you can't use a wide angle of view, and you have to cut to a close-up as much as possible to avoid being exposed.

A big perspective leads to a big scene...

Li Mingyang really wants to surpass the original film of Witch, but in the current situation, it is impossible! The special effects can't keep up, so he can only shoot close-ups.

In the evening, the construction site of the Three-Body Building, which had been noisy all day, finally became quiet.

Because of the construction work during the day, the working hours of the employees who stayed in Mingyang Entertainment were changed, and they rested during the day and worked at night.

After Li Mingyang and his team returned, they went to the post-production special effects department on the sixth floor for a meeting.

The base scenes can be said to be the climax of Witch.

Success or failure all depends on the base scene.

Usually, Li Mingyang prefers to pool resources, but in this meeting, he no longer needs pool resources. What he needs is for everyone to follow his will.

He had to finish filming The Witch quickly and then film Weathering With You.

more than three hours later.

After Li Mingyang made sure that everyone present understood his request, he asked Wu Zhikui to take people to dismantle the base, and then asked Guo Fan to report on the special effects department's recent work.

The Witch has a lot of special effects. Logically, it should have been shot with a green screen first, and then the fighting scenes and literary scenes.

This way it can be released in the summer vacation.

But Li Mingyang did not do so this time, instead he shot the action scenes and literary scenes first.

Because Mingyang Entertainment is developing special effects software.

The software development was outsourced, with more than a dozen companies involved in the research and development, and Guo Fan was the one who followed up all the time.

Among the special effects, water effects are the most difficult.

Because water involves complex light, shadow, and fluid, it used to be a long-standing problem in the special effects industry.

Next is hair and face.

What domestic special effects are best at is smoke. The first special effect that reached international standards was smoke... There is no way around it because there are too many fairy tale films, and the simple and crude way of expressing it is just fairy air and smoke.

In order to pay for the termination of the contract, Journey to the West even used dry ice and smoke...

Special effects are also created frame by frame.

A picture may have dozens of layers... and then they are composited together.

The principle is similar to PS.

But PS is too troublesome and the proportion of manual operation is too terrible.

All the special effects software needs to do is use the data model to analyze, adjust, and render the required images, and finally synthesize them.

The dozen or so R&D companies that Li Mingyang found have different areas of expertise. Some are good at animation engines, some are good at game engines, and some are good at making filters. What Guo Fan needs to do is to integrate the resources.

There are two major tracks for special effects, one is game special effects, and the other is film and television special effects.

Game special effects are generated and rendered in real time, that is, they are presented in real time based on the player's operations while the game is running.

Film and television special effects are pre-produced and post-synthesized. They are rendered through post-synthesis software during the film or video production process.

Around 00, the two were very different and were heading in two different directions.

Square Enix's first CG movie almost bankrupted the company.

Although they are in two different directions.

But there are also some commonalities between the two in terms of technology and tools.

For example, both use computer-generated graphics, modeling, texture mapping, lighting processing and other technologies to create realistic visual effects.

With the continuous iteration of technology, the directions of the two eventually converged, and the boundary between the two became blurred. Some technologies and methods have been applied in both game and film and television production.

The texture of the game is becoming more and more like a movie.

Black Myth is one of them.

It feels like different paths leading to the same destination.

In the original witch film, the witch's fighting power is a bit low. If she wants to integrate into the One Punch Man universe, she needs to be strengthened.

Based on the difficulty of special effects, Li Mingyang chose wind.

Wind is simple because it is invisible and can be referenced by solid objects.

Like smoke...

For example, stones, cars, splashes, clothes, etc. The expressions are varied and very ornamental.

……

The next day, when Li Mingyang arrived at the set, he was slightly stunned. Yang Mi and Liu Shishi came together.

The crew was about to start filming, but he didn't leave and just sat aside to watch the show...

It’s not that Li Mingyang didn’t try to chase her away, but Yang Mi was thick-skinned and just smiled and refused to leave.

She also said that Shishi asked her to come.

Everything was ready. Li Mingyang picked up the megaphone and announced the start of filming.

Yang Mi put on her coat, straightened her back, and sat upright, staring at the shooting scene.

Soon, she could see that something was wrong.

My duck, isn’t this a cut?

What is Li Mingyang trying to do? These two girls are obviously better than Shishi! She is going to be outshined!

Uh...what kind of line is this, are you serious?

Yang Mi pulled out the warm script from under her butt, opened it and saw that the lines were a bit inconsistent. Shishi, how can you continue to act like this!
"Okay! Perfect! Next one."

Yang Mi's whole body tensed up, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

Liu Shishi exhaled lightly, returned to her seat, took the thermos bottle handed to her by her assistant, bit the straw, and took a deep suck. Her cheeks sunken, as if she was trying very hard.

"Is this passed?" Yang Mi asked in surprise.

"Do you also think there is a problem?" Liu Shishi let go of the straw and frowned.

"That's really problematic... What role do you play? The voice, stage, shape and performance are all correct. Do you always shoot like that?"

"yes……"

Last night, the two women had dinner and returned to the hotel together.

When it was almost time to go to bed, Liu Shishi was not very confident in herself, so she showed the script of The Witch to Yang Mi and talked about the filming situation.

When Yang Mi heard this, she actually didn't feel anything, because she already knew that Li Mingyang was a wild person.

Taking an unconventional path…

But Liu Shishi seemed to feel more and more aggrieved the more she spoke, so Yang Mi comforted her and said that she would go to the set tomorrow to see how the filming was done.

You don't know until you see it, and it turns out that they are making a fool of Shishi.

That’s too irresponsible!
Yang Mi was angry for a few minutes, but when Liu Shishi went to shoot the next scene, her mood suddenly improved.

He kept his head down, pulling his hair and pinching his thighs to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

Liu Shishi’s witch is so bad.

Yang Mi was so happy that her heart was filled with joy, and even her resentment towards Li Mingyang disappeared.

The more I look at Li Mingyang, the more I like him.

"Cao! Shirabin, what are you doing? What the hell are you laughing at?"

"..." Yang Mi was frightened by Li Mingyang's voice.

It was the first time he heard Li Mingyang swearing on the set... He usually focused on swearing at people and only tried to get free stuff for free!
Bai Bin is a new star that Yinghuang is promoting! His resources are even better than Ah Sa's!

"Sorry, director, I won't laugh anymore."

"Do you feel like we've been filming for so long that we can't replace you? That person sitting over there is Yang Mi. If you can't act well, get out!"

Shirahama smiled apologetically and then obediently returned to the position where the scene began.

But while waiting for the filming to start, she turned around and glanced at Yang Mi.

Yang Mi was so wronged!

She just came to visit the set, but ended up offending Shirahama.

I'm not Li Mingyang! I don't like to make enemies!
"Li Xin, you are a mentally retarded woman... a protected little white rabbit, a burden... what do you mean by picking up a gun? You want to fight back, where's your brain?"

Li Xin hadn't been scolded for several days. He was so frightened that his hand shook and the gun flew out.

"I think your scenes are the easiest to delete. Mimi will be able to catch up with your scenes in two days at most. The more I look at you, the more headache I get. If it really doesn't work, I'll call Li Shaohong to pick you up."

"Director Li, please don't do that! I just felt..."

"Don't add drama to yourself. It annoys me."

Li Xin was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kept nodding.

"This is a very good performance. Let's do it again."

Yang Mi sat on the chair with her eyes almost popping out. She was just sitting there, but she was used as a gun.

This Li Xin is the favorite of Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan.

Mostly stupid.

Shishi is pretending to be stupid, but this girl is really stupid.

She was very obedient and wanted to be an actor, but Li Xiaowan fooled her...

By the way, will this girl report me later?

You are so stupid, just forget me...

Yang Mi thought so in her heart, but Li Xin was too weak.

Wrong, wrong, wrong…

I made the same mistake over and over again, dozens of times.

Every time he made a mistake, Li Mingyang would pull Yang Mi out to bully Li Xin.

"Yang Mi and you are both from Rong Xinda. Li Shaohong was able to teach her well, but why can't you do it? Are you too stupid?"

"..."

"You are sick! The door is there, what do you mean by banging your head against the wall? Yang Mi has never made such a stupid mistake before."

"..."

"Li Xin, forget it. You call Li Shaohong. Mimi happens to be here too. Let's catch up and discuss the replacement."

"..."

The more Yang Mi listened, the more she wanted to hit someone, and she clenched her fists tightly.

This scene was shot more than twenty times before it was finally completed.

Bai Bin and Li Xin were actually fine, as they mainly performed literary scenes. Liu Shishi's scenes were action scenes, which were really tiring. She was sweating profusely, and the sweat and blood plasma on her hair, face, and body mixed together, as if they had rolled out of the blood plasma.

"Mimi, what do you think of my performance just now?" Liu Shishi licked the plasma around her mouth, took a sip of water and said.

The main ingredients of the crew's plasma are honey, food coloring, water, flour, and cocoa powder, which is very sweet.

"It's normal this time, it's good." Yang Mi glanced at Bai Bin and Li Xin who were sitting in a daze in the distance. "Why do they seem to have no reaction? Are they numb to being scolded?"

"well enough……"

"What does 'OK' mean?" Yang Mi was surprised.

"The insults I received before were even harsher than today..."

"..."
