Huayu 97: The Beginning of a Marriage Fraudulently

Chapter 135 Industrial Light & Magic, Movie-Level Special Effects
Liu Xiaoli thought it was just a guest role and she could go back after filming for two or three days.

But she didn't expect that Chen Siyuan would "occupy" her and wouldn't let her go.

Apart from a little filming on the first day, there were no plans for the rest of the day.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't do anything about Chen Siyuan.

I accompanied Chen Siyuan to play in Hengdian for a few days, and then just like when I was filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", I acted as Liu Yifei's half-assistant.

Then she discovered that Liu Yifei was much more cheerful than before.

After the training of "The Story of a Noble Family" and "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Liu Yifei has grown very fast.

According to the teacher, Liu Yifei had the right time, place and people, so it would be difficult for her not to succeed.

However, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is different from other costume dramas.

As a TV series adapted from a game, how to present special effects that satisfy game fans is also a top priority.

The scene where Liu Xiaoli plays Lin Qing'er fighting the water monster requires the support of special effects.

In order to make his wife and daughter shine, Chen Siyuan has always spared no effort.

Therefore, Chen Siyuan also contacted Hollywood's Industrial Light & Magic specifically for the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" crew.

Just for this item, the cost of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has increased significantly.

But there is no way around it. China's special effects still have a long way to go.

However, Light Media is already planning movie special effects.

This time, Chen Siyuan coordinated with Industrial Light & Magic to produce special effects for "Chinese Paladin", which was only part of the purpose. He also wanted to learn the technology of Industrial Light & Magic.

It’s not that Chen Siyuan is intentionally “monopolizing” Liu Xiaoli, it’s just that Industrial Light & Magic is so awesome that the business is scheduled for several years later.

It was a good decision to take on Chen Siyuan's business this time.

However, Chen Siyuan's reputation is indeed great, and Industrial Light & Magic specially sent a team to collect data on site this time.

The special effects team of Light Media accompanied us throughout the process.

It's obvious that they are blatantly stealing technology.

If it were someone else, the answer would be just one word: “NO”!
However, the special effects team of Industrial Light & Magic turned a blind eye.

How much you can learn depends on your own ability, without taking the initiative or avoiding it.

With the arrival of the special effects team, Liu Xiaoli's role was finally restarted.

The show starts with a fierce battle with water monsters!
This was also Liu Xiaoli's first time to come into contact with Hollywood-level special effects production, and she was full of curiosity.

In fact, it’s not just Liu Xiaoli, the entire “Chinese Paladin” crew is full of curiosity.

Liu Xiaoli also got her special effects script at this time.

The special effects requirements of the special effects scenes must be clarified during the storyboard script stage.

Li Guoli also received the dynamic storyboard made using 3D software.

"Wow, Industrial Light & Magic is truly worthy of their reputation. This animated storyboard is absolutely stunning!"

This was also Li Guoli’s first time working with Industrial Light & Magic, and he was immediately shocked.

This hasn’t even started the actual shooting yet!

"Director Li, our country's special effects production will be amazing in the future!"

Chen Siyuan remained calm.

Think about "Nezha 2" in the original time and space, how many Hollywood blockbusters have been blown away!
Even though it’s just an animated film, it’s only animated films that showcase the craftsmanship, right?!
So don’t underestimate any technology from China!
When thinking of "Nezha 2", Chen Siyuan thinks of director Jiaozi.

Maybe this life can make Director Jiaozi's path smoother.

Learn from the barbarians and use their skills to defeat the barbarians!
But at this point in time, it seems that Director Jiaozi has just graduated and started working in an advertising company?

Chen Siyuan made a label in his mind. If there was a chance, he wouldn't mind letting the miracle happen earlier.

Time is precious, and the special effects team quickly reached an agreement with the crew and began the actual shooting stage.

For this scene, Chen Siyuan even invested in a green screen studio in Hengdian, which was built according to Hollywood green screen studio standards.

The Industrial Light & Magic team was also relieved when they saw the configuration of the green screen studio.

Familiar feeling.

So next Liu Xiaoli put on the motion capture suit and started capturing movements according to the script.

Performing to the air.

It is not an easy thing for many actors.

But Liu Xiaoli is a world-class dance master after all, and she is already accustomed to performing on stage alone!
Even wearing a motion capture suit, he can still perform those fighting moves with ease!
Anyway, even the Industrial Light & Magic special effects team kept calling it “Unbelievable”!
Liu Xiaoli's performance is even better than those professional female fighters in Hollywood!
Liu Xiaoli can complete an action that others may not be able to complete even after trying more than ten times in just one try!
This is simply incredible!

But even so, it took Liu Xiaoli two full days to complete the entire motion capture process.

Hanging on wires is never an easy task.

Although Liu Xiaoli was in high spirits on the set, Chen Siyuan felt distressed after she returned to the hotel.

"Are you feeling any better?"

Chen Siyuan gently provided Liu Xiaoli with a full range of massage services.

Liu Xiaoli buried her head and groaned.

It was comfortable, but another feeling came over me!

Fortunately, Chen Siyuan did not go any further, after all, Liu Yifei was there.

"Mom, how do you feel about the special effects shoot these past two days?"

Liu Yifei asked curiously.

Mom experienced special effects shooting, which she had never experienced before.

Liu Xiaoli calmed down for a moment before slowly getting up. "How should I put it? It was very hard, but it felt wonderful. Although I didn't see the final result, I have the picture in my mind."

"Dad, are there any special effects shots for me?"

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Siyuan expectantly.

How could Chen Siyuan possibly let Liu Yifei down? Even if there was no such thing, he would have to arrange it.

What’s more, Zhao Linger, played by Liu Yifei, originally had a “reincarnation” scene!

"You will start preparing for your special effects shoot tomorrow, and we are working on your special effects script right now."

Chen Siyuan smiled and said.

"Really? Thanks, Dad!"

Liu Yifei excitedly hugged Chen Siyuan and kissed him.

"Why are you so excited? Shooting starts tomorrow, so don't complain about being tired!"

Liu Xiaoli glared at Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue. "I'm not afraid of being tired! This is a really cool thing! Everyone else has been envious these past two days!"

Chen Siyuan suddenly thought of the injury Liu Yifei suffered in the original time and space.

Although Liu Yifei had a foundation in martial arts in this life, those who drowned were all good swimmers.

"Xixi, green screen special effects shooting basically requires hanging on wires all day long. Don't try to be stubborn. If you feel uncomfortable, you should speak up. Your health is the most important thing!"

Chen Siyuan said this with a serious face, fearing that Liu Yifei would not take it to heart.

Liu Yifei was stunned, then her eyes turned red. She hugged Chen Siyuan and put her face on Chen Siyuan's chest.

"Dad, I will listen to you."

At that moment, Chen Siyuan clearly felt Liu Yifei's attachment to him.
