Chapter 691: When "Star Wars" is in progress

"Five billion...? Is it used to deploy base stations?"

When Little Watson saw the news on the TV, he was shocked.

This is 5 billion U.S. dollars!

You know, when Watson Jr. invested in the 360 ​​mainframe, he made so much money.

But that was when computers were still super high-end products in the 1950s!

But now it's different.

In any case, Katherine’s products are probably not so valuable in the entire market, right?

In fact, as far as the market is concerned, it can now reach about 200 million yuan, which is already very good.

But why is it that at this time, Catherine announced the injection of 5 billion yuan to develop mobile phone base stations...?

Is this a bit too weird?

Although Xiao Taisen is not a native of China, he still understands the truth that "workers must first sharpen their tools".

But he felt that Catherine seemed to overdo it. She seems proud to do it this way, but is it really useful?

Bystanders are clear.

Although Watson Jr., on the other hand, is also Catherine's enemy, the Fourth D does not involve the mobile phone business.

In fact, Watson wants to be involved in this industry. In fact, the history of ibm

There are products related to the industry. But with the news that Catherine announced the injection of 5 billion yuan, it made Watson hesitate.

After this incident, there was a strange meaning everywhere. This kind of meaning made Little Watson aware of whether there might be any plans in it.

Later, Watson Jr. found out that Rockefeller actually dared to loan 5 billion to Catherine. He really thought this was a bit strange.

After all, the loan to Catherine was the famous Rockefeller.

"Does she take the loan to build the base station again?"

If Watson Jr. could know that Catherine's money was collected in the financial market and not from a loan, he would probably have a myocardial infarction immediately than that?

"Should it be to fight at*t's satellite phone?"

Little Watson nodded like this, and then thought of the *star project.

One should be for confrontation, right?

But is it worth it?

Little Watson suddenly had a good feeling.

I just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and wait until both sides are gone. Can I take advantage of the situation and enter the microcomputer market?

"But does the mobile phone really make such a big profit?" In the end, Watson was suspicious again. After all, Catherine had already had a detailed plan and Falcon's eyes before, and she could see everything through.

"I won't do anything like that, right?"

Little Watson suddenly thought of a possibility.

Catherine, isn't it about making mobile phones as popular as her cloud system?

When Watson Jr. was startled, Lucas was in full command on the set at this time.

If there is no same title, the filming process of "Star Wars" will soon be over.

Of course, despite this, the unnatural expressions of the actors also caused the progress to stagnate for a long time.

One after all, it is really ah, a bit weird to have many people perform to the green curtain.

People in this era have never tried such a situation.

Even Sean Connery, an old dramatist, has done the same many times.

Hey, I have to say that the best shot is Bruce Lee.

Every time he was acting, Bruce Lee would be silent for a few seconds, and then when he opened his eyes again, he felt as if he was completely absorbed in the play.

But it's a pity that the people who acted with him made a lot of mistakes, so the number of ngs was also a lot.

In fact, "Star Wars" was filmed from last year to this year. One of the most important reasons for this is that the performance of these actors is not good.

Otherwise, post-production can now be done.

This is different from when Catherine was filming.

Although Catherine also had blue curtains when shooting, it was necessary to set up the scene when Catherine was shooting.

The crew has done things like transforming a [Japanese] [Guangzhou] into a place with a futuristic atmosphere overnight, and the crew has done it more than once or twice. Under such [real] conditions, people naturally feel better. , So the performance is good.

In the current situation, a scene is not said to be passed once, as long as it can be completed less than ten times, it is already a blessing.

Synthetic effects are the most common among cg effects. But for people in this era, there are some that are difficult to accept. The specific shooting method of this kind of composite special effects is: the actors acting and the scene are shot separately, the actor part is shot by the actor in the background of the blue screen or the green screen, and then the blue screen is removed by the post software in the computer, leaving the actor part only. Paste it in front of the real shot scene. It looks like the actors were shot in the scene.

Before the advent of the computer, all special effects relied on traditional special effects to complete.

Take the Journey to the West, which Catherine knew best in her last life in the 1980s, where all the demons and ghosts are made with traditional special effects makeup. Professionals make the masks of the monsters, and the actors put them on their heads for shooting. The setting up is embodied as the scene of the Tiangong, some buildings similar to the Tiangong are built, and some smoke is added to create the scene of the heavenly palace with clouds and mist. The shot of Monkey King jumping into the sky was done by film special effects, and this film hardly used any computer-related special effects.

However, this method has been eliminated after the appearance of the wife's brain.

Speaking of it, Catherine’s technique is alternative. It uses celluloid film and then uses techniques similar to cartoon painting to create a pseudo 3D world and technology that can deceive the vision. This is indeed not something ordinary people can handle. It is only like Catherine. The money-burning guys can do just that.

Lucas’s approach is to completely use new technology to achieve special effects. This is naturally a bit early. This situation was caused when shooting, but fortunately, it was only at the beginning. , The current situation has improved a lot, and sometimes it is not the case without a pass.

Lucas didn't care about throwing money, the money Catherine gave was enough. What he cares about is whether he can make a perfect film.

With a lineup of superstars like Dustin Hoffman, Sean Connery, Jane Fonda and Bruce Lee, Lucas said nothing can be lost.

It is necessary to get all things done.

In fact, when he was just preparing for the shoot, Lucas was very high-spirited.

But when it was actually practiced, Lucas found that the situation faced by computer special effects seemed much more complicated than he thought.

First of all, it is the use of the lens in the 3d picture.

The point of view of the lens is the point of view of the audience, and its reasonable position can make people feel the real feeling, and its rationality is to expand around people's visual habits. The movement of the lens also has its own rules. The traditional camera movement has very rigorous and mature specifications, which cannot be broken in digital special effects. If you let the camera [movement] as you like, it will cause the form to deviate from the content. The [movement] trajectory of an object has long been formed in nature, and the film and television special effects must be strictly restored to experience the [true] reality. If there is a slight deviation, it will immediately change the overall relationship between people's understanding of things, and cause inconsistency.

Then there are the elements of sound and light.

People, scenery, sound and light are the most important elements of audiovisual language. They are the main components of picture information. The principle of processing these audiovisual elements in film and television special effects is to restore their overall relationship with each other, whether it is virtual generation or image generation, All should be combined with the ambient light conditions of the scene, unify the tone, color, and restore the texture in order to achieve a realistic effect. If this is not done properly, the audience will perceive what is the result of film and television special effects, which will lead to a sense of separation.

As the world's first computer special effects film, "Star Wars" does require a lot of technical content and design to be successful.

Generally speaking, when doing computer special effects, most of the angles and scenes with three-dimensional perspective changes are created by three-dimensional special effects. Three-dimensional special effects are almost the most technically difficult part of the entire special effects, but also the most problem-solving part. For example, the various realistic monsters in the film, the flood that flooded the city in 2012, and the collapse of skyscrapers. The general production process is: model-material and light-binding-animation-rendering.

It's just that these are not so easy to implement for today's computers.

Lucas is directing, while in the laboratory, Spielberg is monitoring the production of the computer cg.

Unlike Lucas, Spielberg is very worried now.

Although the special effects technology is good, it makes Spielberg feel dangerous. He suspects the emergence of this product, which is overwhelming~www.wuxiaspot.com~. There is no doubt that cg special effects are becoming more and more popular in the 21st century. Used by many Chinese and foreign movies. And now, cg special effects are also under development.

And just as Spielberg worries, when the century was cited, high-end special effects such as "motion capture + cg animation" are becoming more and more important in the global film industry, and even overwhelming, just like "Ding Ding" "The Adventures" is the same.

In fact, in history, Hollywood invented cg special effects, originally to help directors complete those scenes that cannot be produced and parts that actors cannot perform. But after entering the century, cg special effects have occupied a major position in the global film industry, often occupying most of the production funds of a movie.

In 1995, Hollywood produced the first full cg movie "Toy Story", which detonated the world: After that, a large number of Hollywood animations were surging, whether it was "Shrek", "Kung Fu Panda" or "Racing Story", they all used pure cg. Special effects have conquered a global audience. And "Titanic", "Transformers" series, "Avatar" and other Hollywood giants, in addition to the storyline is promoted by live performances, the most eye-catching part of the audience is almost all the credit of cg special effects.

And Spielberg, who was worrying, didn't realize that he would also shoot a full cg "The Adventures of Tintin" in the future...! .
