Chapter 115—Progress
"This is the motion capture technology. (Read novel)" Mr. John Wolfe looked at the staff in front of the demonstration, doing hand movements, and introduced to the students next to him: "We first put the sensor on the actor, then follow the The demand of the plot allows him to perform various actions. "He pointed and pointed out:" The camera captured his actions and then transmitted them to the computer through the device, so we can see the effect in real time. "
The empty studio was full of dark scenes, and a white man in black tights with white sensors all over his body was dancing under the yellow light. Three infrared cameras were placed around him, capturing his movements in a triangle.
Wang Yang and a dozen other students followed him to a computer not far away. John Wolfe sat down in his chair and held the mouse for a few clicks. I saw an activity appearing in the software window on the screen. The green three-dimensional model is exactly the movement of the white man in front. John Wolf said: "This is just the beginning, if you want to animate characters, you need to use other painting techniques ..."
The time has come to announce the nomination list for the 73rd Academy Awards. Without previous media predictions, Natalie Portman was shortlisted as the best actress and became the first person to be nominated after the Oscar. For a time, the praise she received was endless. Not only did the number of fans soar, but it was simply the new national idol in the United States. If it was not for school, she would be the most popular and concerned girl in Hollywood now. The ground was attached to the covers of several magazines and went hand-in-hand with Julia Roberts, "After the Film".
In the best actor award, Will Smith was successfully selected, and two main opponents Russell Crowe and Tom Hanks competed for the honor of the actor. Will has always been a king of popularity, especially in the youth group, which has an extraordinary influence. This result naturally made his fans extremely happy. Last year, Will was just trampled by Jin Jinmei for nothing, but he did not fall. He immediately made the best response: the nomination of Oscar for the best actor.
Fans are shouting "Will should win the little gold man"; the public relations department of Flame Movies is not doing nothing, plus Will Smith's own personal relationships, so there are many newspapers and media, all standing in Will In the camp, he promotes the momentum: "His interpretation is impeccable", "This is a legend of black people, the best portrayal of the American dream, the stories of Chris Gardner and Will Smith are touching ...", "He will put an end to the monopoly of Oscar movie stars and become the first black movie star."
In addition to the film emperor's nomination, "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" also received nominations for the best props set and best original soundtrack; while "Junuo" has the best original script and best original song.
Without the best director, Wang Yang exploded in a "little upset". Although many people in the media have guessed this result beforehand, many people still feel very dissatisfied and scorn the old conservative Oscar judges, which has not changed for decades.
In 1989, the 26-year-old "prodigy director" Steven Soderbergh won the best film at the Cannes Film Festival with "Sex, Lies and Videotapes", but in the next year's Oscar, the 27-year-old prodigy He was only nominated for the best original screenplay; in 2001, 21-year-old "Baby Director" Wang Yang was the same, even though he was the youngest nominee for the best director of the Golden Globe Awards.
However, the former child prodigy, now 38-year-old Steven Soderbergg, with the two films "Never Compromise" and "Drug Network" this year, after setting the Golden Globe Award record, set the Oscar record again and got The nomination of the two best directors has become one of the biggest popular candidates; does it say that it will take 11 years for Magic Young to impress the Oscar judges? At that time he was 32 years old and had the opportunity to tie the youngest winning record.
And this year's nominees include Ang Lee, Ridley Scott ("Gladiator"), Stephen Dadeley ("Dancing Life").
Film awards in the United States are not only the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars. Various sizes of awards are dazzling. Like the popular candidates who sweep the awards, it is often unclear how many awards they have won. First of all, there are various associations, producers ’associations, directors’ associations, actors ’associations, cinematographers’ associations, screenwriters associations, as well as countless film critics ’associations such as Los Angeles, New York, and broadcasting, as well as the Saturn Awards, Young Artists’ awards, etc. Awards.
"When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" and "Juneau" have swept down many nominations for awards, which is almost a replica of the Oscars. In terms of personal honor, Wang Yang also received at least a dozen association best director nominations, of which the most weight The most important thing is the Directors ’Association. This award is the most important indicator of Oscar ’s best directors. The result only four times since the 53rd session is different from the Oscars. The award-winning director this year is Li An.
In any case, this year's Oscar Magical Young missed the competition for the best director, so next year? This naturally depends on the movie he launched this year, but to the disappointment of the fans, he, who has always been a "high-speed production", suddenly stopped and returned to Nanda to go to school. It seems that he has no idea of directing the movie. Of course, he also has a new production plan, the youth dance movie "Sweetheart", which is also what excites fans, especially fans of singing and dancing.
"A cool girl, a group of cool young people, I believe" Sweetheart "will make everyone like it." When fan fans saw this statement from Wang Yang, and a few days later, the flame movie announced that she would play the female role. The protagonist "Sweetheart" is selected by Jessica, which first of all makes the expectations of young people skyrocket. Will Miracle Yang not push a bad film to his girlfriend?
However, some gossip media said eloquently, this is because Natal became the nominee of Oscar after "Juno", Jessica was very angry, Wang Yang produced "Sweetheart" to smooth the emotions of his girlfriend : "From the film's name, it can be seen that this is a love show for them. But Magic Yang obviously has no confidence in the film, so he chose not to direct but to produce."
In fact, Wang Yang is really not sure whether "Sweetheart" can be sold, but he is absolutely confident and will do his best to make it. No matter in what way, he is not allowed to mess with his girlfriend. So he chose not to direct. But in the script of "Sweetheart", during this month, he spent every day trying to refine the specific content. He also went to many hip-hop bars and other places to find ideas, and at the same time did not forget the success of similar movies in his mind.
The script and frame of "Sweetheart" are approaching completion day by day. When the time is up to March 1, its completion speed is suddenly slowed down, because the Robert Zemigis Digital Art Center is officially inaugurated at the University of Film and Television School of South Carolina. On the opening day, Wang Yang, who was one of the sponsors, happily attended the opening ceremony; and the next day, he took off his suit leather shoes, put on his windbreaker shoes, and became an ordinary university student. After spending time at the University Park campus, I returned to Beverly Hills home in the evening.
What Wang Yang mainly wants to learn about film special effects and digital technology. Of course, he is a director, not a special effects artist or a programmer. He does not learn those specific computer software technologies, but how to make and shoot. When creating design shots, these knowledge also provide inspiration and let the director You can consider what special effect technology to use and how to shoot to achieve the picture; how to cooperate with the special effects artist and so on.
In just half a month, he has figured out and learned a lot of special effect technologies, like some miniature model shooting and image synthesis that were known before; and the real gains are these new or old digital technologies, digital Technology is a movie that really liberates the director's mind. It can be said that in this era, as long as you are willing to spend money, no matter what kind of picture can be achieved.
Computer painting, motion capture, virtual shooting ... but he is not just in the digital art center. In the idea of not taking a degree, he sometimes slips to George Lucas donated and sponsored by his wife Ma The post-production center named by Thea Lucas listened to the study. Although the most famous product of Nanda is the director, he may have learned a lot of other things. The movie is a whole. The more you know about this whole, the more control you have as a producer and director.
Anyway, after half a month, he has benefited a lot. He feels like Mario has eaten a big mushroom. If he suddenly wants to make a special effects film, he will not be confused about how to direct.
"Jessica, did you notice? There are a few actions you like to do when you perform." Wang Yang on the sofa looked at the serious Jessica next to him, his eyes looked up. : "This is the first one." He twisted his neck to the left and right again, and laughed: "This is the second one, but your flexibility is better than mine."
Jessica laughed puzzledly: "This is not good? I haven't paid attention to these, it is just that." Wang Yang ha ha said, laughing: "This is not surprising, you usually talk like this. This is not good or No, it depends on when it ’s used. Shaping different characters, you ca n’t use the same small movements, otherwise where are they?
Jessica nodded silently and rolled her eyes slightly.
I know, I think I should strengthen my facial expression skills. "
"Look, your eyes are coming again, and ..." Wang Yang laughed and said with a shrug: "This is the third." Jessica raised her eyebrows, her hands closed against her head, Wide-eyed and said: "It seems I want this" Wang Yang smiled and hugged her, said: "Jessie, some body language reduction can appear more natural, I think you understand this better than me. I want to say you The power of performance ... "
This is the "director and actor mini-game" that the two will play for a while in the last month. He accompanied her to perform performance training, giving advice and opinions; and explaining the "sweetheart" together, shaping This role changed her from a text setting to a real person on the screen. After a month, I do n’t know if it ’s an illusion or something. He thinks Jessica ’s acting has improved a lot; of course, as she said, her acting was quite good a month ago, although it ’s far less powerful than Natalie It is completely different from the time of "High School Musical" more than two years ago.
After training for a while, they ended the game tonight. Wang Yang turned on the TV with the remote control, and the sound of excitement sounded as soon as the TV was turned on. The screen showed a picture of basketball players leaking their chests: "AA National Championships, who will continue to lead after the first round of official start The road to the championship ... "Wang Yang turned to look at Jessica and said excitedly:" Yes, you know we will play at home with Oklahoma tomorrow, let's go and see "he exclaimed again:" Wow , This year is really exciting "
He loves basketball, AA, and NCAA. He returned to college and lived for half a month. He suddenly returned to the kind of leaks caused by the collision of these three. This is the first time the Trojans have entered the national championship since he was admitted. This will also be the first time he has experienced the taste of crazy March.
Earlier, he also made this year's top four predictions on the blog. Michigan State University, Illinois, Stanford; finally in the eastern region, he did not choose Duke University, but chose South Carolina. This choice is emotional and sensible, and has not entered the tournament stage for several years. All the people have been suffocated. This time it is back to the top 32, which can be described as morale and great achievements.
"Well, okay" Jessica smiled happily, looking at the TV screen, and said with interest: "I haven't been to the scene to watch the AA game. Someone invited me to watch LA before. I refused. "
"What, LA?" Wang Yang shouted with a frown. Jessica looked at him stunnedly, and said, "I didn't go." Wang Yang nodded solemnly, and smiled again: "Don't support LA's children ..."
He and LA have always been enemies in the same city. The two schools seem to be competing with each other for strengths and weaknesses, and both think they are stronger than the other. LA students also call it "ty-of-nd-e (second choice for university)". At the beginning, he just heard it was funny and disdainful. No matter what, he was the best film university in his heart ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But he wants to study all, there is nothing to dispute, and the facts are there.
But a few years ago, he had n’t been expelled at that time. Once, he and several classmates were ridiculed by a group of LA people to laugh at basketball and failed to enter the national championship. Although they can also laugh at LA football, as a basketball fan, since then Starting in basketball, he and LA are deadly enemies.
Thinking of those loud ridicules, Wang Yang's chest angered in vain. He took a deep breath and said to Jessica: "You are now the person, remember, only the Trojans will be our family Traditional
"Only Trojans" Jessica nodded solemnly. She also heard about the grievances of the two universities. She didn't expect his reaction to be so great. But her boyfriend is a human, and she naturally supports it. She held out her palm to him and shouted with hatred: "Let LA die" Wang Yang smiled and gave her a high five. He said: "Yes, we will kill them in the quarterfinals; unless that The rotten bear was eliminated by other schools before ... "
But in the end, the first round and LA both passed smoothly. Nantara defeated Oklahoma State 69:54. At the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium that night, Wang Yang and Jessica both shouted and returned with all their excitement. In the second round, NU will go to Boston to challenge Boston College away.
