Chapter 77: Now is the progressive tense

(I only realized that on Halloween, there are activities in Qidian, and you can reward pumpkins. This book has passed the new book period but it is still early. Before it is released, the only source of income for this book is rewards. Seeing that others are constantly rewarding, Lao Lu is envious and shamelessly asks for a reward. Make an agreement with everyone, two chapters are updated every day from today to before it is released. If the total reward amount exceeds 10,000 Qidian coins, another chapter will be added. I hope that students who have spare time can make Lao Lu update, thank you!)

(ps, please vote by the way, Lao Lu is about to be on the category recommendation list.)

The plot of "The Matrix" is not very complicated. The whole script can be divided into two large scenes, one is the real spacecraft and the other is the matrix mother. Chen Tian filmed it according to the first filming of the matrix mother scenes and split the scenes. Although it was separated from the plot order, after more than a month of running-in, many actors gradually integrated into the roles, and the rest was to shoot good scenes step by step.

The highlight of the movie is also in the role of the matrix body, and the combination of special effects and actions is the key.

Chen Tian attaches great importance to special effects and will discuss many technical issues with Michael Sinki when he has time.

"Boss, look, this is the motion capture technology." Michael guided Chen Tiandu to watch several employees who were in charge of the demonstration doing body movements. They were wearing black sensor clothes and covered with sensing patches. "Actors will transmit signals to sensors according to the plot needs. The camera captures his actions and then transmits them to the computer through the device, so we can see the effect in real time."

"The cameras of computer special police taking over the body and transforming them all rely on them to achieve very realistic results."

Several staff members were putting on black tights on the actors, and white sensing patches were covered with all sides of their bodies. A green three-dimensional model in action appeared on the software window on the screen, which was exactly the action of the actor in front.

Chen Tiandu nodded and thought: "If you want to build animated characters, do you also need to use motion capture technology? Are there any other technical means required, such as picture technology..."

"Yes, that requires 3D modeling, but our studio's action drawing technology is not as good as DreamWorks, let alone Pixar. Our level can only be achieved to imitate animal fur." ​​He was a little discouraged.

Chen Tiandu patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, we're just starting out, there are more opportunities for improvement behind it. Show me how the bullet time is going?"

"Okay, come with me." Michael Hinki suddenly became excited again. "After the initial time of tying a small transmitter to the camera, the high-speed shooting failed to cause the camera to explode, we tried a lot. Later, we got a solution, which was to put a circle of cameras around the shooting target, which allowed the camera to quickly capture each lens continuously and then process these lenses."

"Has it been successful?" Chen Tiandu asked.

"Yes, although the method is clumsy, the effect is very obvious. We made bullet track special effects." Michael smiled and said, "Boss, this is an innovation. The previous special effects were almost all imitated by the methods in TV commercials, music videos or other movies, and this special effects are different. It can be said that it has unique charm and is the first in our studio."

"Very good, everyone has worked hard. Improve it as soon as possible and don't make the ballistic too inconsistent, I think the movie will need to use it soon."

...

“action!”

The scene taken in the camera is a scene where Neo was betrayed by a traitor when he retreated and surrounded by computer special police after meeting the prophet for the first time.

The group escaped from the cracks in the wall to the sewer, and could not find such a good shooting environment when shooting. So a wall of sewer pipes colluded in the huge studio was temporarily built. The traitor deliberately coughed, which aroused the special police's intention and shot and swept into the wall.

Smith arrived, and he pierced the wall with one palm and was about to grab Neo and pull it out. Morpheus roared, and knocked Smith to the ground with his head breaking through the wall.

"Merpheus!" Trinity shouted.

"Take Neo away quickly, the key to success or failure is to him. Go quickly, go!"

The close-up shot of the two sides of the wall from the side, successfully capturing the facial expressions of several people. In a close-up, Chen Tian’s facial expressions were complicated because Neo, who he played, had just met the prophet, but was told that he was not a savior. He was somewhat imaginative in his heart, but now Morpheus is going to sacrifice for him, so his expression is a bit ferocious. A blue veins on his arm holding the railings on the wall storm stormed, revealing his mood was very conflicted.

"Ao~~" Suddenly, a strange shout came into my ears.

“cut!”

The shooting was paused, and everyone looked at the source of the sound. Lawrence was still crawling on the ground, Hugo Weiwen hugged his feet, and his facial expression was painful.

"Doctor!" Chen Tiandu shouted, and the person rushed over.

"What's wrong?" "I'm injured." "Doctor comes here..." The scene was a little busy.

Chen Tiandu walked over to look at Lawrence, who was covered in dust, took a clean towel and wiped it for him, "How about Lawrence, Hugo, where is the injury?"

"My hand twisted."

"My feet twisted."

“…”

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing. It was really a brother in distress, "Sorry director."

Chen Tiandu waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything sorry, your health is important."

The doctor simply treated it with a spray, and after the examination, he said: "It's not too serious. I'll apply it with ice, but I'm afraid I'll have to take a few days off."

Chen Tian was relieved, "Then let's take a break first. Lawrence, Hugo, you guys should recover from your injuries."

He said, frowning himself.

"What's wrong?" Kate asked curiously.

Chen Tian didn't say anything, and unbuttoned his shoes, socks and trousers, everyone took a breath. It turned out that his calves were actually covered with purple and purple, which looked very scary. These were all left when he fought against others. He had been holding back, but now he found it was a bit serious when he was idle.

Lawrence and Hugo looked at him with admiration.

This was the first time Kate saw Chen Tiandu’s foot hurt so seriously, but she didn’t know at all. She immediately looked blameless and everyone else was worried.

When shooting fighting scenes, it is common to get injured, and everyone is used to it.

"Maybe we need to buy a few more knee pads," Yuan Heping suggested.

Kong Yiji looked heavy, "I'll go and buy it, it's better for each person to have one."

Chen Tiandu nodded and smiled, "Then let's take the street shot first. If you have enough time, you can also get the scene of Kate and Charlize fighting. McCovey will leave it to you."

"What, me, can I do it? Such an important shot."

McCovey was surprised, "Why would you call Mr. Spielberg here."

He followed Chen Tiandu since the last movie "The Sixth Sense". He also served as the deputy director in the previous movie, but the investment in that movie was not big. However, the investment in this movie has doubled. For a film graduate who has not touched a camera for many years, the task is a bit heavy.

Chen Tiandu said: "You have to believe in yourself, McCovey, you are a graduate of Southern California University, so don't lose the face of Southern California."

McCovey looked confused, "Okay, if I can't take a good photo, I'll call Mr. Spielberg anyway."

Chen Tian shook his head. He was too unconfident, but it seemed good to ask Spielberg to come to the rescue site occasionally. McCovey quickly integrated the personnel and took some people into groups to the shooting location to shoot other shots.

Kate has a role, and although he is reluctant to leave, he still has to leave. He looks at Chen Tian and said, "Then you have a good rest, don't be too busy, work after your feet are ready."

"I will." Chen Tian smiled, "You guys should also pay attention to safety."

Charlize was much more cheerful. While Kate didn't notice it, he boldly gave him a blowing kiss, twisted his waist and walked away, leaving Chen Tian speechless for a long time.

The fight between Charlize and Kate was specially added by Chen Tiandu. When Trinity led Neo and others to escape from the sewer, Trinity was caught by Trinity. Then the two sides fought a big battle, and the computer people could not be killed, so they escaped with difficulty.

This scene is also very important, mainly showing the charm of Trinity and female computer agents.

Director Yuan Heping is very prepared for this scene that highlights the charm of female fights, and started training them a few weeks ago.

His martial arts style is to gather countless elements into the action, which increases the intensity of the action and makes it incredibly pleasing to the eye.

"The more changes in a scene, the more interesting it will become," he designed a particularly fast and powerful kicking action for Trinity, calling it a scorpion kick. Yuan Heping naturally cannot treat foreign actors like domestic actors, because most of them have never been exposed to kung fu, so they take more encouragement methods to make the actors more confident.

Kate suffered a lot for this action, but fortunately her dancing skills have not been completely abandoned. Kate also likes the scorpion kick and smart fighting movements, and she is looking forward to the audience's reaction to seeing her performance at the opening.

Chen Tian was not too immersed in the recovery from his injuries. After bandaging it, he looked at the camera just now to see if he needed a reshoot.

A cup of steaming cream coffee was placed beside him, but the man did not disturb him, put it down and left.

"return!"

Niu Yingying was stunned and looked back at him in a daze.

Chen Tian smiled, "Thank you for your coffee. Yingying, are you still used to it in the crew? Have you called your dad?"

The one who poured him coffee was Niu Yingying. Two big dimples appeared with a smile on her lips: "It's great, director, after leaving home, Lao Dou can no longer let me hold the plate, don't mention how pleasant it is. And Mr. Acheson is also very good, and I learned a lot from him."

"Is that right?" Chen Tian smiled, "I'll give you a task now, give these two costume design drawings to Mr. James Atcheson to show, and ask him to help modify them. Then you can go to the best tailor shop to make it out, and you must complete it within a week."

"Oh," Niu Yingying agreed readily, took it and said in surprise: "Director, this is an evening dress, what a beautiful skirt, according to whose physical data is it?"

"Men's suits are mine, and women are Kate's. The cost is not counted in the crew, just report it to me."

Niu Yingying's eyes rolled and said, "Director, is this what you want to wear at the Golden Globes and Oscars? Is it your own design? It's so cool."

"You are smart, don't let Mr. James know."

"Hehe, I understand."
