Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian and the others were preparing to watch the post-production effects of such a film in the small screening room of DreamWorks.Speaking of which, Jia Hongjian's special effects production process for this film is relatively old-fashioned-not that the special effects are old-fashioned, but the process is old-fashioned.In this era, Jia Hongjian's special effects were still filmed first, then cut into crude films, that is, after the sample films, they were sent to "relevant departments" for special effects.According to Jia Hongjian’s requirements, the relevant departments first made the line draft and sub-shot script, and the drawings were made like cartoons for Jia Hongjian and the others to take a look at first, and put together the overall shot design and continuous pictures. The designs are introduced.Jia Hongjian and the others nod their heads, or after everyone has gone back and forth to revise and adjust, they finally nod that they can do this, then the next step is modeling, textures, special effects, etc., and the last thing that comes out is a CG broadcast. .

However, Jia Hongjian knew that after the technology seems to have advanced in later generations, there is a new production method, which is to directly carry out "post-production" in advance, and combine the modeling of special effects with the initial concept of the entire film directly in advance. Together, this is equivalent to turning the process of scene selection into a process of scene selection plus background modeling for special effects.Then when the preliminary preparations are over and the shooting is really ready to start, the special effects, 3D modeling environment maps and so on of many scenes are almost ready. When the time comes to combine with the digital camera, the photographer will carry the camera and shoot the scene in front of the green cloth. When the actors perform, the shot is directly the actors performing against the background of the synthesized computer special effects!If it is such a process, such a whole film shooting will not require so much post-production time after the filming is completed.However, this technology was just a new technology in 2012.Not many people use it.Because of the poor process of this year, the post-production special effects handed over by Pixar are basically well integrated with the original sample. It can be said that the whole film is almost the same as the released version except for the lack of subtitles. There are too many, and it is even possible to say that they are exactly the same!

The lights in the small projection room gradually dimmed, and the beam of light from the projector shot from above the heads of Jia Hongjian and the others. The screen in front of them turned white, and then the screen went black, revealing a scene of the night sky.There are countless stars in the almost pure black sky, and they are so bright.The Milky Way in the distance looks really bright like a river! "Wow. So beautiful!" Ye Jing beside Jia Hongjian couldn't help but praise.indeed.In the past few years in Shanghai, I have to look at the stars in the sky, but I really can't see them.Not to mention the past few years, Jia Hongjian has never seen such a dark night in the urban area of ​​Shanghai since he became sensible!Since the late 80s and early 90s, the night in Shanghai has always been bright.It was almost like the brightness of dawn in the countryside.The sky is naturally gray and there are no stars to be seen.Basically, you can only see one moon.Such a scene was not shot with special effects, but was shot in the northwest.Jia Hongjian and Nolan went out for a walk. They saw so many stars in the sky at night and expressed their feelings. They thought the scene was so beautiful, so in the end, this shot went directly to the wilderness in the northwest. The place where people are shot against the sky!

Then the camera gradually zoomed down, revealing the desolate panorama of the desolate Gobi Desert in Northwest China illuminated by the silver moonlight.Immediately afterwards, I only heard a rustling sound coming from the "behind" of the camera, and then the sound got closer and closer, and there was also the sound of horseshoes.In just a few seconds, a group of people with cold weapons entered the frame from behind the camera!The camera slowly rotated 180 degrees, and then saw more than 100 people, all of whom appeared in the camera on horseback with knives and guns!All of these people have ferocious faces and fleshy faces, and they don't look like good people at first glance!A leader with a big beard drove his horse forward a few steps, and walked to the edge of the hill. Looking from a distance, he saw only the flames in the wilderness in the distance. "En!" The bearded leader pointed in the direction of the fire with his horsewhip, and then he saw the more than 100 fierce men adjust their formation one after another, and they all cooperated tacitly. Those with a bit of an army style began to descend the mountain!Then the camera started to rise, and the aerial photography started, only to see that the leader with a beard also drove the horse down the mountain quickly, and then became the first one in the line.

In the case of aerial photography, the bearded man raised his hand, and the white man slowly opened a long snake formation, and then slowly drove it to start walking forward in small steps, getting closer and closer The walking speed is getting faster and faster, and after a while, these horses have already started to trot, and then there is only such a long snake formation, and the two sides slowly speed up, like a net slowly The meaning of closing is the same, it becomes an arc.Under the moonlight, these people drew out their sabers one by one, and slowly surrounded the fire with almost no noise!

Then the camera didn't turn around, but the aerial photography seemed to speed up, and the camera flew a long distance in the air, aiming at a fire a few kilometers away.After getting close, I saw that the flame turned out to be a bonfire, and the crowd around the bonfire looked like ordinary people in their clothes, and the goods unloaded next to their horses seemed to be in piles, which should be merchant?The camera turned into a camera on the ground again. I saw the camera circle around a group of people who were eating meat and drinking wine by the bonfire and didn’t know that the danger was coming, and then slowly focused on the crowd not far away. On one or two solitary beings.The camera zoomed in, and I saw these two people sitting on a rock, meditating, bald, and wearing monk robes.The person next to the monk also had a shaved head, but he had a beard and was not wearing a monk's robe. He should look like a monk's servant. "Master, do you want me to ask them for some hot water?" the servant asked in English. "No need, there is only such a small river nearby. The water is used up too much. What about the fish? The weather here is dry and dry. If we take a ladle of water, the fish will lose a ladle of water. I'd better eat cakes... "

I saw the servant take out a cake that was as big and thick as the lid of the pot from the wrapping!Then he took out a kitchen knife and cut off a triangular "slice" like a pizza little by little, and handed it to the monk.But at this moment, the monk was suddenly taken aback, "What is that in the distance?" The camera turned with his gaze, and there was a faint gray cloud in the distance under the black sky. is approaching!At this time, the businessmen beside the bonfire gradually realized that the surface of the broth in the wooden bowl placed on the ground was slowly shaking!Someone took a hard quiver and put it on the ground, and lay down on the ground with his ears pillowed on the quiver to listen, but he heard the sound of a huge number of horses running!The man's face suddenly changed, "Horses! So many horses! Horse thief! The horse thief is here!"

A group of businessmen suddenly became flustered, some hurriedly hid their belongings, some hurriedly searched for weapons, and at this time, they saw that a group of vicious horse thieves had gradually approached everyone in a semicircle!The group rushed over and didn't slow down, didn't stop and yell nonsense like "I drive this mountain", but just rushed into the crowd like cavalry charging, roaring and galloping!After the flattery rushed into the scattered crowd, it was like wiping the neck with a saber, and immediately, people fell to the ground and shouted!

Seeing such a scene, Ye Jing couldn't help leaning on Jia Hongjian's body, and couldn't help but hold Jia Hongjian's hand tightly.In a short while, the horse thief had already killed a group of merchants in all directions, and at this moment, a horse thief who ran to the outside saw the monk in the distance!So as soon as the horse thief shouted, he saw three or five horse thieves galloping towards the two monks in the distance. "Why don't they run or hide?" Ye Jing asked, holding Jia Hongjian's hand tightly.Before Jia Hongjian could answer, he heard the monk say, "Forget it, Wujing, if they want to kill them, let them kill them. There is nothing we monks can't give up. Serving a tiger with your body is the right... It's..." As the monk spoke, his voice began to tremble!Then the camera turned again, and saw that the hands of the monk with his eyes closed and clasping his rosary began to tremble, and his face was pale and pale with fright, but there were beads of sweat the size of soybeans!

Just then, the camera turned again.I saw a charging horse thief had already arrived at the monk's side in an instant, and he had stretched out his hand to lay the saber flat, as if he wanted to let the momentum of the horse bring the saber to "hit" the monk's neck!Seeing that the saber was getting closer and closer to the monk's neck, getting closer!The camera suddenly changed, and in a fruit forest that did not look like a desert in the northwest, a creature that looked like an orangutan was lying on a huge branch and eating peaches.Suddenly the orangutan seemed to have heard something, and jumped up, "Bah!" He spit out the peach pit, then stretched out his hand and picked another peach, bit it in his mouth, and then jumped violently. The big tree he landed on was kicked uprooted and flew into the sky for several laps!

"Is this monkey Sun Wukong?" Ye Jing asked nervously.That's right, Monkey King, here we come! (To be continued..)
