Superstar

It is precisely because of different attempts that Hugo has always had no sense of rejection of commercial films. For example, when filming "Speed ​​of Life and Death", Hugo experienced unimaginable thrills. The excitement of being in danger makes adrenaline. It broke out completely and is unforgettable so far; and today, when filming "Independence Day", Hugo will experience the green screen acting for the first time, which is a completely different challenge.

If Hugo just intends to act casually, this is not a problem. He only needs to show worry, surprise, and perseverance according to Roland's requirements. This is enough. The whole story can be linked together, and there is no need to worry about any greens. Screen acting. For the experienced Hugo, it's very simple.

But Hugo doesn’t want to dedicate performances that are out of touch with visual effects like "The Wonders of the Devil", even if "Independence Day" does not give him enough performance space to perform a "gravity", but at least he can act as a guide, Let all the audience experience the grandeur and magnificence of the impending destruction of the earth in "Independence Day".

Therefore, Hugo wants to do better.

In fact, the so-called green screen acting skills are not difficult to understand. Simply put, you have to have a rich imagination in your mind and imagine scenes that will not even appear in real life, such as sketching the beautiful scenes in "The Lord of the Rings" Elf City, for example, imagine the raging stormy waves in "Pirates of the Caribbean", for example, portray the magnificent space war in "Star Wars"...

But this is not Hugo’s strength. Hugo is not an otaku who is keen on comics, nor is he a science man with endless curiosity about science fiction; but Hugo has an advantage, that is, the scenes that others need to imagine, his memory It exists in the depths, what he needs to do is not to outline it out of thin air, but to awaken the memory picture deep in his mind.

The simple rehearsal just now gave Hugo a preliminary understanding of the entire shooting process and the situation on the scene. He must now establish a three-dimensional space in his head, place himself and the car in this space, and think about looking straight ahead. What is it, what is on the sides, and what is underneath, gives him a clear understanding of the whole pattern.

Hugo closed his eyes and tried to awaken his memories. What did the alien spacecraft look like on Independence Day?

Hugo hasn't done such a job for a long time. When filming "Scent of a Woman" and "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo often recalled how the original actors performed in his memory, and the original movie showed What kind of effect, but after that, Hugo gradually explored his own performance path, he seldom recalled it, because he didn't want to imitate, hoping to get out of his own style.

But today is a different situation. Hugo needs to rejuvenate his poor and exhausted sci-fi vision, and he needs to clearly outline the pictures in his mind that ordinary people can't imagine.

How did it feel to watch "Independence Day" for the first time? Hugo closed his eyes, and a dark mind sketched out the appearance of the huge alien spacecraft. When the huge spacecraft came over the city, it could be said to cover the sky and the sun, blocking all the light in the sky. Almost more than one-third of a city with a population of tens of millions is shrouded in shadows, making everyone feel as if they are trapped in a cage, unable to see the sun or tomorrow.

Hugo clearly remembered that when he watched "Independence Day", he was shocked by the magnificent visual special effects, and he was amazed, and the alien spaceship, which was like a pie, was even more impressive. It was also in Hugo's mind at this time. Clearly emerge; and during the war, human fighters and small alien fighters fought together, like a school of sardines, densely packed with cannonballs and blooming fires, so that the blue sky was enveloped by countless black spots, and it was impossible to see it. The original color of the sky.

After careful recollection, Hugo discovered that he originally thought he was not impressed with "Independence Day", but he still left a lot of impressive images in the depths of his mind, including Steve flew out of the earth to outer space. When entering the alien mother ship to perform the final mission, the shocking feeling like an ant standing in front of a skyscraper is still lifelike.

"Hugo," a call contemplated Hugo's memories. He opened his eyes and saw Sergio standing in front of him. "This is the conceptual image you want. Do I need to explain it to you?" Sergio held a thick pile of drawings in his hand, and saw Hugo nodding from the corner of his vision, Sergio adjusted his position-neither his posture nor Hugo's posture was suitable for a long discussion. .

At this time Hugo was sitting in a small airtight box to avoid shaking during flight. The whole person was stuck in the seat, so he couldn't even complete the simple action of stretching his neck; Ergio was standing on the wing, leaning on the edge of the cabin, and the place where his feet could stand was very limited. He had to stand on tiptoes and put his head behind Hugo’s left shoulder to explain for Hugo. .

"I'm filming'Human Ghost Love'!" Sandra, who was passing by, joked, and even blew a whistle, causing everyone on the scene to laugh, which made both Hugo and Sergio It was helpless.

Sergio retracted his attention and explained to Hugo, "This is an alien spacecraft designed by the computer special effects team according to Roland's requirements. Conceptually it should be the size of four football fields, which can cover most of the city... …" With Sergio’s explanation, the slightly blurred picture in Hugo's mind gradually became clear, especially the whole three-dimensional sense of space.

Before returning to filming, Roland took a closer look at Hugo, hesitated, and walked in front of Hugo.

Although Roland has improved Hugo now, as the star of the entire crew, Roland knows that Hugo has the ability to interfere with the crew at any time, and no one can stop Hugo. Roland is the director and producer. It can be said that the position is the most embarrassing. How to get along with Hugo is really a difficult problem. The situation similar to the rehearsal just now is not a matter at all, but Roland is really hard to control the measure. Therefore, Roland has been considering how to communicate with Hugo.

"Hey, Hugo, I know you are not very familiar with green screen technology," Roland stood on the wing, carefully sorting out his words, "I mean, you haven't participated in such a performance before." If he did not interrupt Roland’s words this time, but listened sincerely, this gave Roland some confidence, "I think, if necessary, I can show you the computer special effects that have been completed so far, so that you can feel Let’s take a look at the whole picture."

Hugo looked at Roland and motioned, "Are you finished?" Roland nodded quickly, and Hugo said, "I know it will be more difficult to bring a computer to the studio." It's 1996, don't say It’s a laptop computer, even ordinary desktop computers have not yet reached the state of mobile convenience, "Why not, tell me about your idea, I know you have a sub-camera picture in your mind, as for what computer special effects are produced? Just leave a suspense."

Roland was stunned, realizing that this was a good idea, "No problem, the next set of shots is like this..." Roland explained bluntly, and from time to time Hugo would ask questions about his perspective. What kind of picture is it? Gradually, Hugo combined the information given to him by Roland and Sergio with the film picture, which made Hugo's thoughts completely clear.

"Very good, let's dive into the shooting, let's see the effect." Hugo took a deep breath and said.

Roland looked at Hugo hesitantly, "Are you sure? No need to rehearse again?"

Hugo shook his head, "This is not a stage play. We can’t rehearse to be perfect before going on stage. You know, even a stage play can’t be perfect on stage. Just let the camera work. I will concentrate more.” Hugo knows what the difficulties he is facing, and he also knows what he needs to do, so let the actual combat test it.

Roland saw perseverance in Hugo's eyes. Thinking back to the exchange and the whole process, although he was still a little worried, he forced himself to calm down, "No problem, let's try it." Then, he hesitated. He glanced at Hugo again, turned and left the plane.

"Start shooting!" Roland gave an order, and the camera started to run.

Sergio’s voice came from Hugo’s headset. This time Roland had to take charge of the entire picture, so the job of controlling the rhythm was handed over to the assistant director, "Below the city." Sergio’s words were very simple~www .wuxiaspot.com~ Hugo looked down slightly and saw that all the messy wires on the ground had been cleaned up, and the screwdriver that had just dropped there was also taken away. Now there is only a green, empty green. But in his eyes, there were constantly exploding and collapsing urban high-rises and buildings, and the ubiquitous thick smoke mixed with hot flames continued to rise, and the prosperous Los Angeles looked like **** at this time.

Hugo couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable, because he knew very well that the picture in front of him meant the disappearance of life. He closed his eyes helplessly, and there was a trace of weakness in those eyes. It was just a blink of an eye. He opened his eyes again, and said in a low voice, "I shouldn't leave them." A layer of water faintly appeared in his eyes, but he let out a sigh of relief, letting the fragility in his eyes quietly. The ground is hidden to the bottom of my heart.

"Don't worry, big man. I think they must be out of the city first." Hugo knew that this was not a sad moment. The frowning eyebrows were gradually smoothed by the comrades' ridicule. He knew, fighting. The moment has come. When he saw the huge alien spaceship in front of him, Hugo did not change his expression, but his pupils were slightly slightly, and the stormy sea in his heart was clearly revealed.

"Ka!" Roland's voice came clearly, "Very good, very good! It's really great!"
