Top of the big era

The plane took off and its destination was Israel.

There were a lot of people in the group. Zhou Buqi was accompanied by Zhen Yu and Ning Lu, two bodyguards; Shen Xiangyang was accompanied by Gonzalez, a technical director of Ziweixing International; George Lucas also brought Industrial Light and Magic 3D Vision. Director and Chief of the Effectiveness Department. Purple Star Global also has Chief Financial Officer Miles Lee.

In addition, there is also a great beauty accompanying him.

She starred in "Fast and Furious 4" released by Universal Pictures last year, and she will also have a role in "Fast and Furious 5" which will start filming this summer.

She can also be regarded as a new generation of Hollywood actresses trained by Universal Pictures from amateurs. The attributes of a sexy beauty are not much worse than Megan Fox.

As it happens, she is Israeli.

This time my boss was going to Israel for a business trip. As soon as she showed some interest, she immediately agreed and expressed her willingness to accompany him. Her name is Gal Gadot, she is now the most famous actress in Israel and has great influence. When she participates in business negotiations, the technical geeks from the other company are likely to be impressed and then obediently agree to sign the contract.

There were a lot of people, so the group took two separate planes.

Gal Gadot naturally got on Big Boss Zhou's plane.

Boss Zhou's plane is very big, with luxurious bedrooms and private space to rest on the plane. It is much better than ordinary business planes. Out of compassion, it was necessary to invite her over.

Gal Gadot was very talkative and cheerful. On the plane, she told everyone stories about her past as a soldier, and said that one time she almost went to the front line.

But when it comes to her career as an actress in Hollywood, she becomes melancholy.

Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand, "What's wrong? You have a very good image, very sunny."

Gal Gadot's right hand gently slid down her body, "I'm too high. I participated in "The Spy" released last year, and the leading actor was Tom Cruise. I could only It's a very marginal small role, and I can't even play with Tom. He's too short. The director said that if I stand with him in the same scene, it will affect his majestic image."

Most of Hollywood's commercial blockbusters rely on male actors to carry the box office.

But the top male actors are not very tall, generally around 1.7 meters, and there are some like Tom Cruise who are 1.6 meters tall.

When playing supporting roles, the heroine should be shorter than the hero.

This makes it difficult for top Hollywood actresses to be over 1.7 meters tall.

Those tall and beautiful actresses with model figures, even if they are as beautiful as flowers, can only play small roles on the margins of the 18th line. Today’s Gal Gadot is just such a low-key, small-time character.

Gal Gadot bit her lip, "Unless there is an exception."

"Um?"

"Like Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, they are very tall, but they are all super A-list."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, you can learn from them."

Gal Gadot was very melancholy, "But they are all Oscar-winning actresses. Their movies do not need big-name actors to show off. They can carry the box office of a movie on their own."

There's nothing we can do about it.

To be an Oscar-winning actress, that's hard power, you have to have super-level acting skills.

Gal Gadot is a mid-career actor. She has not received any systematic acting training, so she can play simple roles of a vase nature. She cannot control slightly more complex characters.

It's a flaw that his acting skills aren't good.

Zhou Buqi would not forcefully use the power in his hands to assign her an important role. She was not a goddaughter, so there was no reason to use the back door.

Shen Xiangyang was also on the plane, so Zhou Buqi went to talk to him.

Let’s talk about this company in Israel.

In the past two days, Shen Xiangyang has done a very detailed investigation and said firmly: "This company has good technical strength and must be won. The motion control system of Microsoft's new generation game console Xbox is provided by them. ."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What is the somatosensory control system?"

Shen Xiangyang said: "It is a game method of body remote control. Players wear smart sensing devices and use the system's optical three-dimensional space intelligent recognition and automatic tracking technology to identify, track and quantify the real movement status of the human body. Then map the human body movements into the game..."

"Here I go, how is this similar to making a 3D movie?"

Zhou Buqi was surprised.

When I went to Lucasfilm for inspection a few days ago, they specifically demonstrated how to shoot the "Avatar" movie.

The actor wears some smart equipment, and then uses a series of technologies to capture, track, and identify the actor's movements, and then captures and images with binocular cameras, and then a 3D three-dimensional action image of the alien actor can be presented.

Shen Xiangyang said with a smile: "The logic is actually the same, but the implementation process is different. Lucasfilm's 3D presentation uses binocular technology, while the Israeli company uses structured light speckle technology. "

"Speckle technology?"

"Well, speckle structured light is probably about emitting tens of thousands of discretely distributed infrared dot arrays at the same time for depth detection, capturing the player's posture, and then reflecting it in the 3D game. This is a more complex and advanced method."

"Can't? Can games be compared with movies?"

"This is different. I asked clearly that day at Lucasfilm." To Shen Xiangyang, this is all child's play and can be easily understood. "The feedback results of structured light are real-time and must be direct. The feedback is in the game that the player is playing. Movie shooting is not a real-time picture, there will be post-production links, and special effects personnel need to process it frame by frame."

Zhou Buqi was a little dizzy, "Which one is more effective?"

Shen Xiangyang said: "Structured light is good, so good that it can be displayed in real time. The advantages of binocular technology are low cost and simple technology, but the picture is very rough. Didn't you see it at Lucasfilm that day? Those pictures that were processed in real time The resolution is extremely low, similar to games from the 1980s, so it requires more post-production special effects processing.”

"I only have one request. The dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" must be shot well, and the 3D effects of the animals in Avatar must be more stunning."

Zhou Buqi sighed secretly. It felt too complicated and he didn't want to get involved in technical matters too much.

Shen Xiangyang said with a smile: "The production logic of movie special effects is actually not difficult at all. The real thing is better than the captured one, and the captured one is better than something made out of nothing."

Worried that the big boss wouldn't understand, he explained it specifically.

The more realistic the special effects are, the better.

Just like the scenes of dinosaurs in movies.

The best effect is to find a living dinosaur to shoot. Everything is shot in real time, which is of course the most realistic.

If you can't take a real shot, you have to capture it.

For example, let a person play the role of a dinosaur, and then use sensors and other smart devices and somatosensory system devices to capture every move of this fake dinosaur. Tyrannosaurus rex is very similar to a chicken. You can find a chicken, let the chicken run and move as it pleases, and then capture all its movements.

Then after post-processing, the fake dinosaurs can be turned into real dinosaurs, and the chicken can be turned into a Tyrannosaurus rex.

The worst effect is to create something out of nothing.

Without shooting or capturing, directly using computers to synthesize dinosaurs, and using CG technology to create dynamic effects of dinosaurs, this is really fake, just like games and cartoons.

The best Hollywood blockbusters strive to be immersive and immerse the audience. There are some shots that are made out of nothing, but they are usually static background images.

Dynamic shots still have to be shot live or motion captured.

Dinosaurs cannot be shot in real life, so they can only be captured in motion.

Since it is motion capture, of course speckle structured light is the best. This is to shoot out tens of thousands of infrared dots at the same time to fully cover the captured object like a pinhole.

Almost even a hair can be caught.

Lucasfilm's system is much worse. At most, it captures general dynamics, and then uses post-production computer special effects to perfect the details.

How can something made by a computer be real?

The more details you capture, the better the final result will be.

Hearing this, Zhou Buqi had something in his mind.

The biggest highlight of "Jurassic Park" is the dinosaurs, which are the most important thing. Unlike Marvel movies, Marvel movies have rich plots, many superheroes, and lots of fun. What the audience sees is not the special effects. In order to save shooting costs, many special effects shots can be allowed to be made out of nothing...

Huh?

Marvel?

Zhou Buqi immediately thought of the opportunities that might exist in Gal Gadot's acting career. She could play "Wonder Woman" well, and of course she could also play Marvel's superheroine well.

This kind of comic book movie doesn't have any complicated characters, nor does it require good acting skills, because everyone is a "god", "superman", "mutant", etc. It doesn't matter if they are taller.

Gal Gadot had already returned to the bedroom, so Zhou Buqi knocked on the door and gave her this suggestion.

Unexpectedly, Gal Gadot had just taken a shower and was only wrapped in a white bath towel. The bath towel is actually not too small, but she has a model figure and is very tall, so it seems a little too small. The top part cannot cover her chest, and the bottom part can only cover her thighs. Her sexy white figure is simply tempting people to commit crimes.

Her plump figure was tightly wrapped in a bath towel, her skin showed a healthy wheat color, and her whole body exuded a charming and seductive aura.

She was wiping her hair with a towel in her hand, tilting her head and looking at him with a smile, "Mr. Zhou? Are you okay?"

"Wow!" Zhou Buqi looked up and down, "Your figure... is really great!"

"Thanks."

Gal Gadot gave a slightly playful wink.

Zhou Buqi's expression remained normal and he said with a smile: "That's right. You just said that you are too tall and it is difficult to get important roles. I have a suggestion here for you to refer to."

Gal Gadot's beautiful eyes flashed, "Really?"

Zhou Buqi said: "You can pay attention to Marvel when you have time. Marvel will produce a series of superhero movies, including many superheroes with a lot of roles. I believe that in a few years, there will be independent movies There’s a Marvel blockbuster with a superheroine. You can go for it.”
