Star Entertainment Tycoon

After going around for several times, Gu Jingchuan finally found the acquaintance's shop that the fat boss had told him about. As a result, just looking at the situation inside the shop gave him a chill.

Gu Jingchuan didn't know how Harry Potter felt when he saw Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley. Anyway, he felt that he had come to a garbage collection station.

The owner of this store seems to have not lighted up the skill of organizing and storing at all, and all the items are placed in piles.Various parts are piled up, professional tools are piled up, unrepaired star brains are piled up into a hill, and the repaired ones are thrown aside to collect ashes, making the whole shop look like it has nothing to do with cleanliness.

Gu Jingchuan is a little thankful that the star brain of the universe is a palm-sized box with an all-alloy shell. The screen and keyboard are just holographic images projected by built-in parts, so it is resistant to falling and abrasion, and is durable, even if it falls from a height. Basically nothing.If the laptops of the 21st century were piled up in such a mess by this boss, even the display screen would be crushed.

Although my heart felt cold for a while, since I had already come, there was no reason to leave directly.Gu Jingchuan murmured silently in his heart, just because he abused the star brain so much, he had an excuse to severely lower the price and get the equipment he wanted at the cheapest price.After a while of self-hypnosis, he walked into the shop frowning.

"Boss, is the boss there?" The pseudo-boy greeted a few times, only to see a man with a thin figure, a pair of dark circles bigger than the national treasure, disheveled hair, and a man who hadn't changed his clothes for a long time. The earth came out from behind a star brain hill.

The owner of this store is actually not very old, he looks like 25 or [-] years old, but after he is armed with this non-mainstream outfit from hair to clothes, he instantly feels like killing Matt... No, he is dying a feeling of.That bluish-white complexion, gloomy eyes, and eye circles darker than smoky makeup all seem to be telling Gu Jingchuan the fact that the boss is about to die...

Gu Jingchuan broke out in sweat. It is even more miraculous than a miracle that there is such a shop owner who has not yet closed the shop, and there are still people who are willing to come here to repair the star brain.Don't these customers who come to repair the star brain worry that after Boss Shamate dies from overwork in a second, they will have psychological shadows on the star brain that they haven't repaired yet?

But if they have psychological shadows and are eager to sell the star brain, can they buy the equipment they want cheaply?

Gu Jingchuan shook his head, shook off the "good idea" that was endlessly circulating in his mind, cleared his throat after coughing twice, and then asked: "Boss, I was introduced by Zhang Chen, the owner of the rental shop. , I want to buy a second-hand star brain."

"Zhang Chen?" The two lifeless eyes on Boss Shamate's bluish-white face rolled for a moment, as if recalling who Zhang Chen was.With a stiff face, he pondered for a long time before hesitantly asked: "Is it someone who looks very..." He paused for a moment, as if thinking about his wording, "A very... plump person?"

Gu Jingchuan was silent for a while, the black line on his forehead was about to float down.Big brother, you don’t usually use the word plump to describe a man. Either you just say that he is fat, or you say that he is rich. Don’t use adjectives casually, your Chinese teacher will cry...

"Yes, it's that... plump Boss Zhang." In order to explain clearly, Gu Jingchuan uttered those two words against his conscience.

Hearing that the pseudo-boy was introduced by an acquaintance, the expression on Boss Shamat’s face seemed to become a little richer. He rolled his eyes and looked up and down Gu Jingchuan before asking: “There are many kinds of second-hand star brains. What are you going to buy it for?"

Gu Jingchuan thought about it, said the configuration he wanted, and finally added, "I want to process the video captured by the motion capture device. The processed film must pass the test of the big screen and must not be blurred. .”

"Motion capture device? Video? Do you want to shoot commercials?" Boss Shamat bent down and roughly searched for a model that meets Gu Jingchuan's requirements in a pile of second-hand stars, and asked casually.

"Boom", a star brain killed Boss Matt accidentally fell to the ground.

"Boom", a star brain was killed, and Boss Matt rudely slapped it on the wall.

……

Seeing the boss's very "manly" movements, Gu Jingchuan grinned with a toothache, and replied casually: "It's not a commercial, it's a movie. I plan to use a motion capture device and a star brain to shoot a movie that can be put on the big screen." movie of."

"Wow..." Boss Shamate shook his hand, and the whole mountain of second-hand computers collapsed and rolled to the ground, but he didn't seem to care at all, and turned his head suddenly to stare at Gu Jingchuan's face, with a wide range of movements. It was so big that it could break its neck and twist its head off.He shouted in a surprised but affirmative contradictory voice: "You mean, you want to use a motion capture device to make a movie?... How to do it?!"

Gu Jingchuan was taken aback by the boss's sudden turning of his head, and subconsciously moved his feet towards the door, intending to turn his head and run away if something bad happened.He secretly scolded that "plump" Boss Zhang in his heart, what kind of shop are you introducing?Walking in in broad daylight feels like watching a ghost movie... In case the boss who killed Matt dislocated his cervical spine because of turning his head too fast, his head fell off, and passed away suddenly, would he still be arrested by the police for questioning? ?He really didn't intend to use such an unreliable method to murder Boss Matt...

Completion of ranting.

The pseudo-boy twitched his mouth, and finally decided to tell the boss what he thought.Just based on the way the boss stared at him, if he didn't want to say it, he might not be able to leave the store today.Of course, this doesn't mean that he can't beat this boss who seems to be dying from overwork, but that if he touches this boss casually, he may go to the hospital, and then he will be imprisoned for intentionally hurting others up.

"This is how I think about it..." Gu Jingchuan talked about his idea of ​​the filming method.Regarding this point, he is not afraid of anyone knowing, let alone spreading the word.Using a motion capture device and a star brain, apart from him, there is probably no second person in the galaxy who would choose to make a movie like this. Other filmmakers simply don’t recognize the special effects technology, let alone the fake scenes. Capture the movie now.

Don't say that they don't want to make a movie like this, even if they really want to make a movie like this, the ability of an ordinary actor will definitely not be able to support a multi-role movie like him.Even he himself would not have been able to complete such a difficult filming if he hadn't had that period of almost schizophrenic days.Where can this world find so many actors with outstanding acting skills who are also schizophrenic?

"Oh, that's right." Boss Shamate didn't say much after listening to Gu Jingchuan's explanation, but bowed his head and meditated silently.

Seeing him lost in thought, Gu Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to sneak away from the door.Who would have thought that just after taking two steps, he was stopped in front of him by the elusive Boss Shamat. If he hadn't stopped so fast, he would have bumped into the Boss head-on.

"What are you going? Don't you want to use the star brain?" The boss looked at him suspiciously and said, "If you want to make a movie according to your idea, it seems that not only the star brain is needed, but also the helmet needs to be connected. Are the movie scenes and characters’ appearance and clothing transmitted to the star brain?”

Seeing that he couldn't walk, Gu Jingchuan stopped and said, "Yes, it is indeed necessary to connect the helmet."

Hearing his answer, the boss lowered his head, thought for a while, and then quietly said: "Zhang Chen is a rental camera, and he knows a little about photography, but he doesn't understand anything about the astral brain. What he told you is too much. Take it for granted, without considering the actual effect at all.”

He said seriously: "Motion capture technology can indeed be applied to movies according to common sense, but it is impossible to complete the entire scene and character settings by connecting the helmet alone."

Gu Jingchuan couldn't help being surprised when he heard his words, and quickly asked, "Why?"

Sha Matt raised his head and looked at Gu Jingchuan, the lifelessness in his eyes was swept away, and they were full of burning flames. "Why? Let me give you a simple example."

Sha Matt pointed to the pile of second-hand star brains on the ground, motioned for Gu Jingchuan to sit down, and said that he himself sat unceremoniously on top of another pile of star brains waiting for repair, as if he didn't panic at all.After seeing Gu Jingchuan carefully sitting on the star brain pile, he said slowly: "The scene transmitted to the computer by connecting the helmet can only be static, and it cannot be dynamic. It is barely usable to simulate an indoor scene. But what about the outdoor scene? Don’t the leaves in your movie not blow with the wind?”

"Also, although you can rely on your imagination to transmit the style of clothing to the star brain, how to solve the cloth properties of the clothes? Is it soft? Is it strong? How will the size of the folds change under different actions? When the wind blows, it will float. What is the angle of the rise? Can you transmit these to the astral brain just by imagining them?"

"These are just two examples. There are many other problems. These problems may seem small, but they are very important problems when put into the film. If one cannot be solved, your film will appear dull and inflexible. , not real, but a rough puppet show. I think, this is definitely not the result you want."

Hearing his words, Gu Jingchuan was startled at first, and then fell into deep thought, "Leave aside the cloth and clothing, why the transmission scene can only be static and not dynamic, I remember that connecting the helmet supports uploading dynamic scenes? "

"Although the helmet supports it, your mind may not." The boss replied: "For example, if I ask you to imagine what a tree looks like, you will imagine its roots, its trunk, its branches, its color, Rough hand feeling, but can you instantly transmit its complete form to the star brain, including the state of each leaf? This is still in its static state. If it is blown by the wind, you can imagine its different angles and different sizes Is there a different form of each leaf when it is blown by the wind? This is just a tree, if the scene is a big forest, can you still imagine the different situations of each of them?"

"If you just upload a static background, even if you can't imagine the scene perfectly for a moment, you can at least rely on later adjustments and slowly retouch the picture. But if you upload a dynamic background, you have to ensure that every frame is perfect. Show the perfect state of the scene, so that the audience will not see the flaws. If it is a small screen scene, it will be better, but what you want is a movie. If you put it on the big screen, there will be infinite magnification if there is a slight flaw. Don’t try to deceive the audience’s eyes. Therefore, the dynamic scene transmission supported by the connected helmet is basically only prepared for rough two-dimensional animation, and the real three-dimensional simulation background cannot be completed. This kind of work is simply not possible for humans If it is completed, whoever can do it must be a god!"

Gu Jingchuan thought for a while, blinked innocently, raised his hand and said, "This... I seem to be able to do it."

Boss Kill Matt was still talking there, and he almost choked on his own saliva when he heard Gu Jingchuan's words. After coughing viciously twice, he looked at Gu Jingchuan in disbelief, "You?!"

"I," Gu Jingchuan said affirmatively, "I should be able to do it."

The boss was silent for a long time, "do not believe" was written in his eyes, these three words almost materialized and fell on Gu Jingchuan's head. "I have a professional star brain and a new type of connection helmet here, you can make it for me!" The boss's tone was gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on Gu Jingchuan's, as if he wanted to see him from his eyes. There is no sign of lying.

Gu Jingchuan took the star brain and connection helmet that the owner of Shamate dug out from some corner of the store, shrugged, and turned on the switch of the star brain.Just do it, he thinks he can definitely do it!

In early autumn, a dense forest.

The weather is getting colder, and the color of the leaves has also changed. Some have completely turned yellow, and some are still a little green. The yellow-green trees are mixed with red maple leaves, which is very charming.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and some leaves fell.The leaves of different shapes dance different dances with the breeze, falling to the ground quickly or slowly, and come to the end of their own lives.

A small deer seemed to be startled by some sound, jumped out of the woods in a panic, got into another bush in the blink of an eye, and disappeared soon.Its sudden arrival and departure frightened the birds in the woods. Several sparrows and a gray magpie flew into the air, and disappeared in the branches after a while.A squirrel with puffy cheeks was also frightened by the deer. It didn't even want the pine cone it was holding in its paws. With a kick of its hind legs, it jumped up to the tree and hid itself among the pine branches. gone.

……

Gu Jingchuan took off his helmet, looked at the beautiful scenery displayed on the holographic screen of the star brain, and asked: "This kind of clarity should be enough?"

After waiting for a long time without hearing an answer, Gu Jingchuan turned his head, only to see Boss Shamate staring blankly at the scene played on the screen in a daze.

"Hey!" Gu Jingchuan stretched out his hand and waved in front of the boss's eyes, "You haven't said whether this kind of clarity is okay."

The boss was startled. He twitched the corners of his mouth, as if trying to smile, but in the end he only showed a suspected twitching expression.He replied with a trembling voice: "Okay, of course..." After saying these words, his eyes drifted back to the screen, as if he still couldn't accept the reality until now.
