I’m Really A Great Director

Chapter 18: The Possession of David Fincher

Liao Yu's apartment in a residential area in Kyoto.

Today, Liao Yu will hold the first ten-minute premiere of "The Peerless Lady" in his small private screening room.

The invited guests, whether they are film critics, anchors or reporters, are all their own.

After the ten-minute film was broadcast, everyone in the small theater stood up and applauded. Qi Qi congratulated Liao Yu on creating another classic film.

Liao Yu moved himself and burst into tears instantly.

"Thank you, thank you!" Liao Yu waved his hand, stopped the applause of everyone, and said: "To be honest, seeing my hard work and finally showing it to everyone again, it feels really wonderful and fun."

"Faced with the gratuitous accusations of traditional directors, I think that as a pioneer of Qin.net, I must take up a long gun and fight resolutely with the traditionalists!"

"I want them to know that if the cranial imaging technology is applied to a proficient level, it can definitely surpass the traditional production of movies!"

"At the same time, I also hope that this film can create another peak in sales!"

After saying this, everyone naturally slapped their palms and shouted in applause.

Liao Yu's conversation turned.

"Just a few days ago, in the author group, a new author unexpectedly said that he would kick me off the top of the sales list." Liao Yu said with a serious face, "I think that the current Qiying.com, One of the biggest drawbacks is that the quality of novices is very low, very low!"

"These newcomers are frogs at the bottom of the well. They don't know how high the sky is, and they don't know how to appreciate high-quality movies. I hope these newcomers can recognize themselves and learn more humbly!"

Liao Yu's spearhead pierced Li Fanxi, and the "audience" underneath naturally echoed.

"Such a newcomer will surely fall down!"

"The newcomer mentioned by Director Liao, I actually know who it is, and I have seen his work, which is really unsightly."

"Someone dared to challenge Director Liao, that is really incredible!"

"Isn't it because Zhong Ming gave him a comment to collect so many more?"

Liao Yu sighed, expressing distress, and after piercing Li Fanxi with the spear, he turned to the bell.

"At the same time, I also hope that really conscientious film critics will not be tempted by profit!" He said loudly, "They should not see the really good films; they write long articles for some bad films and applaud, this It is extremely unfavorable for our Qiying.com and for the development of the entire'cranial imaging' technology!"

In the past ten years, Zhong Ming has never written a film review for Liao Yu, and he has never mentioned Liao Yu's name every time when Zhong Ming talks about cranial imaging movies.

Liao Yu thinks this is a kind of contempt.

Therefore, Liao Yu's grudge against Zhong Ming has a deep root.

The Li Fanxi incident was just a fuse.

"I have three works, all of which won the monthly sales list. "Earth of Distorted Love" is still the number one monthly sales. Some people say that I am the well-deserved first person in the drama category of the movie. It's too much, I can't afford it."

Having said this, Liao Yu intentionally paused and asked the reporter to ask questions.

"Hello, Director Liao, if you are not the first person in the drama category, then who is it?" The reporter really has a tacit understanding.

"Who is the first person depends on the results!" Liao Yu straightened his chest and smiled slightly.

This kind of proficiency and the courage to brag, won praise from the audience.

"Yu Da domineering!"

"Drama, only Yu is the only one!"

"To do a good plot, you need someone with experience like Yu Da."

"If you want a good plot, it is impossible for a newcomer to have a passion for it!"

In this most popular category of Qiying.com, but Liao Yu can be the leader, and his vanity is also greatly satisfied.

Now, his goal is to discredit Zhongming's reputation step by step.

As for Li Fanxi, hehe, a worthless newcomer, there is nothing to worry about Liao Yu.

Even if the results of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" were good, it would only be a flash in the pan.

Besides, pure inspirational lack of novelty like "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", even if the results are good, will definitely not make it into the top 20 sales charts.

This ignorant Li Fanxi was like a flying firefly, and Liao Yu could slap it to death with a wave of his hand.

——————

Rental house.

Li Fanxi was wearing a skullcap, while looking at the Li Mo emoticon package that was taken on the phone in the hospital, he tried to render Li Mo's head and various expressions in his brain.

In previous lives, the production of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was very complicated.

The biggest challenge is:

In this film, the protagonist’s face is an old man at birth, and then gets younger and younger. Therefore, the film must show the protagonist’s facial changes from 0 to 84 years old.

The most primitive processing method is:

Using the Marker-based Capture system, let the protagonist wear a hood, put many reflective signs on the hood, and then infrared sensors to capture various facial expressions.

Then, the animator collects this data and applies it to the computer-generated skull to make the "face" move.

But this technique to make facial expressions is not delicate.

Let alone highlight the changes in age.

The film "Benjamin Button" was also stranded for many years because it was technically unable to achieve what he wanted.

Going around and around, finally reached the mad and fearless David Fincher's hands, it was considered a place.

When the masters make a move, they are extraordinary.

David Fincher, who has filmed "Fight Club" and "The Seven Deadly Sins" of the dark series of suspense films, after taking over this fantasy drama, he showed a genius thinking flash, and also showed what a famous director has. Calm and sober.

His thinking is very clear.

In the first step, a Facial Coding Sysyem was created. This system has 70 basic facial expressions. Through various newly added facial movements, countless expressions can be made.

In the second step, Brad Pitt’s face was painted with Phosphorus Makeup to capture real facial expressions. Faced with hundreds of computer-driven cameras, various expressions were made, and the cameras could accurately depict the face. The movement of the muscles, obtain its trajectory in 3D space, and make an emoticon package.

Only in this way can the facial expression be restored as real as possible!

Of course, in order to complete this project, David Fincher needs to have a team of top-level makeup artists and a team of dynamic light and shadow modelers.

And now--

Li Fanxi is alone.

After rendering a few test items in his mind, Li Fanxi knew very well that with his current ability, there was no way for the "old age" Li Mo Hold to live the close-up.

Because when Li Mo was old, once there was a close-up shot, the arrangement of his wrinkles when he smiled, cried, and even frowned, with Li Fanxi's current ability, could not be calculated at all.

Although he now has an expression attribute value of 22 points, in the final analysis, he still only stays in the entry-level technical field.

Li Fanxi can only try to avoid close-ups of Li Mo in his old age.

Doing so will reduce the appeal of the film, but there is no way.

After six hours, Li Fanxi finally recorded a three-minute video. After checking it was correct, he clicked upload.

Since the technical flaws are still obvious, this new film will get praise or criticism, can it have a good sales performance——

In fact, Li Fanxi had no bottom in his heart.
