Chapter 908： mask

Except for Natalie Portman, these four actors have conflicting worldviews. After all, everyone does not know Marvel's next plan. It is impossible to transition to other related works, and the other three are not allowed to play together. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

But after Lehman's confirmation, Kevin Feige didn't worry too much. After the last round, he decided to discuss the film contract details with Scarlett's agent team.

Because Black Widow doesn't play many scenes and is limited by the length of the contract, the salary that can be obtained is the same. What is needed is additional bonuses. The first Iron Man is 2.3 million, and Scarlett's team is still very happy.

And just as the Hollywood movie market was newly added to the summer battlefield by Pixar Studio's annual animation masterpiece Flying House, with a first-week score of 68.2 million US dollars, Lehman and several high-level officials from Columbia came to the sky. Cameron's studio. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest computer: https://

"This is the studio for our experiment."

As the owner of this place, Cameron roughly showed that the scale and floor area are very small, and it may even be a temporary place. He pointed to the complex camera operation system inside and introduced with some interest: "It seems that only It can cover a small space, but it has been able to shoot the corresponding shots, and in the future, when the shooting stage is really entered, the number of cameras will be more demanded.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand. A 30-year-old maintenance staff member next to him put on the motion capture modeling equipment neatly, "Lloyd, do a few demonstrations."

Cameron instructed and looked at Lehmann, "You'll see how interesting it is later."

Lehman watched curiously as the skilled man known as Lloyd, with the help of another person, finally fixed a helmet with rubber contacts on his head and a microphone-like recording device in front of his face.

Facing several cameras, according to the angle of the camera, the dense green dots captured by the expression were pasted.

When everything was ready, Lehman and Columbia's executives got close to the director's monitor and watched the feedback carefully.

I saw Lloyd intentionally blinked his eyes and opened his mouth up and down. The monitor was still his own actions, but the processor on the same screen was the face of a Pandora man, doing the same movement and demeanor, although it was only a prototype, without passing through. The rendering is a bit rough, but it's basically clear that this is a character model created with Lloyd's face.

"Great."

"Very delicate expression, even the eyes have changed." Everyone was amazed.

Especially Lehmann, he has been exposed to these technologies, and the digital field is doing all-out PR motion capture. Of course, he knows how awesome this system of Weta Digital is.

"Haha. In fact, we were also very troubled before that real CGs couldn't be as agile as people. This is the biggest difficulty." Cameron said proudly: "We all know that pure computer-synthesized CG audiences do not buy it at all. If you are not careful, you will fall into the uncanny valley and be boycotted by fans. The death of Final Fantasy has taught our team a great lesson.

The fact is that, without the participation and enlightenment of people, there will be a lack of a certain kind of soul, which is why I named this movie Avatar. I wonder if the Indian gods view their avatars that way. "

Avatar is a Hindu avatar, most commonly thought to be related to the physical manifestations of the gods on the ground.

From this point of view, the deconstruction of the script is also very clear. The male protagonist is inconvenient to move, so he walks in the new world as a Pandora star.

"Although I can see the shadow of Lloyd's performance from this role, it always feels a little strange?" said a high-level executive in Columbia: "I heard that Mr. Cameron rejected Leonardo's request to play, why? "

"If I can, I'm willing to increase the budget. Hiring a superstar will give us more security." Lehmann was also unequivocal, and he agreed, looking like he was very talkative.

Cameron frowned, but what he said made sense, "You all guessed that it was a budget issue, but in fact, the real spending of Avatar has always been the filming itself and post-rendering, not hiring some popular actors. Good, but the price is not high.

First of all, working with big stars is always a hassle, and their management team is difficult to deal with, just like Leo, even if I know him well, he is not the carefree, do-it-yourselfer who was filming Titanic Dare to try, he is a very ambitious person. After I told him about the role, his first reaction was not a question of salary, but said that walking around in front of the green screen with equipment is still a performance?ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

How much room does the role play? Will the lack of frontal scenes damage his image?

Look, he and his team are full of this, they don't care why the movie is made like this, his agent also suggested that Leo's role should be reduced if he starred in green screen, but how is this possible, I don't know that at all will agree.

Second, the biggest role of a movie star in a movie should be to increase competition and raise the stakes, but Avatar has little demand for this. I'm sure the biggest reason for the final presentation to draw audiences into theaters must be the special effects spectacle unlike any movie. I am very confident in this regard, and you have also seen a part of it So, performance opportunities are not something that can be accounted for in this work, it is ranked after many elements. "

Cameron pointed to the effect lens, "Anyway, actors only need to be familiar with how to control facial expressions, and the surrounding high-definition cameras will transmit various data back to the host, and then build models according to program settings. The data becomes more and more abundant, and the final character image will be a real avatar, leaving traces of people. I think many actors can do it.

Perhaps, this is the movie with the lowest demand for actors' appearance and body in history? If there is this technology, when shooting Terminator 2, Schwarzenegger does not have to exercise every day after acting, and scold me for torturing him. "

"Haha." Lyman couldn't help laughing.

Sometimes, Cameron is still a little humorous, but it is not difficult to see from his words that this technology is simply killing the future of actors.

Just performing with a "mask", then the threshold has dropped too much, and the things to consider have become a lot less.

The most likely thing that restricts the actor's path is appearance and temperament. For example, Heath Ledger, even if he overcame Batman's limelight by relying on the role of the Joker, Hollywood management will still not give him that kind of American hero role. , it is only in the subject of some strange characters or wonders that he has a high value.

Otherwise, it would be very discordant, and wearing a mask would reduce all sense of discordance to the lowest point. As long as he wanted, he could play any role. Anyway, what he gave was only traces of his soul and demeanor, and nothing else was involved.
