Chatty Hollywood

On the big screen, the resurrection of the mummy is easier than Charlotte.

Evelyn just finished chanting the spell when it roared and came back to life.

At the same time, signs of disaster also appeared immediately——

Large swarms of locusts flew from the sky.

The locust plague was a terrible disaster in ancient times.

In modern times, although humans with pesticides no longer fear the locust plague, it is relative to the entire human society.

Specific to individuals, when they see the overwhelming locusts hit like a black tornado, it is inevitable to panic.

In desperation, everyone had to hide in the underground tomb area that had been excavated by them.

However, just out of the wolf's den, and then into the tiger's den——

A large group of corpse beetles gushed out of the ground in the mausoleum, which made O'Connor, Evelyn and the others flee.

Those who had no time to escape were quickly overwhelmed by the corpse beetle——

The corpse beetle got into their skin, then crawled under the skin, and finally swarmed into their chests, gnawed their hearts, and crawled out of their mouths...

——The people who were submerged by the corpse beetle were quickly gnawed by them into a corpse even shriveled than a mummy.

"This paragraph is really scary!"

Jaina subconsciously covered her eyes, matched with her faint tone, like a soft girl.

Emily, who is familiar with her nature, sneered at this.

"Is there a man here who pursues you? Who did you look like this for?"

Emily muttered in her heart,

"Especially, you are still covering your eyes while peeking between your fingers. Is this trying to lie to ghosts!?"

Although Emily also knows that there are indeed many girls who pretend to be afraid when watching horror movies, and the more they are afraid, the more they want to watch the contradiction. I don't like it.

Of course, to say that she is not afraid at all when watching horror movies, that is also a lie—

At least, when she saw a large group of corpse beetles rushing towards the screen, she felt that her back was standing upright.

On the big screen, O'Connor and the others were separated from Evelyn under the chase of the corpse beetle.

Evelyn accidentally ran into a rotatable wall and was transferred to another room.

Here, she saw an American expedition cowboy whose eyes were cut out by something unknown, and his tongue was missing.

This frightened Evelyn very much.

Then something more scary appeared——

The resurrected mummy, with the eyes and tongue studded from the American cowboy on its face, walked out of the shadows.

——It turns out that, as the curse on the box excavated by the American expedition says, if the mummies are to be fully resurrected, they must kill all the people who opened the box and take part of their bodies before they can be transformed into human form.

The hapless cowboy was the first to have his eyes and tongue taken away.

Now, the mummy used his newly acquired eyes to stare at Evelyn, who was leaning against the wall and too scared to speak.

"Ansuna!?"

"Is this the mummy mistaken Evelyn for his former lover Ansuna?"

Susan took Downey's hand and asked nervously.

"probably!"

Downey nodded, holding the hand of the red-haired lady beside him tightly again.

——Although he was shot with contempt by the other party before, but thanks to the horror atmosphere in the movie "The Mummy", Downey finally succeeded in the end.

Of course, this is just Downey's opinion.

In the eyes of Susan on one side, it was purely because Downey was too timid to scream when he saw the scene of the corpse beetle eating people.

In order to avoid being disturbed by his screams, Susan had to hold the hand of this man who seemed to like her a little bit to comfort him and make him shut up.

——Anyway, Susan would not admit that she was a little scared herself, holding Downey’s hand to keep her warm.

Even when she received psychological support at this time, she was still a little curious——

"The expression of this mummy looks like a real person. Has the current special effects technology been developed to this point?"

As a career woman who works as a film producer, Susan has always followed the trend of film technology very closely.

Like James Cameron's "Titanic", she went to study it no less than five times.

——Although every time I watched it, my eyes became red with tears, and incidentally became Leonardo DiCaprio's iron fan, but Susan still insisted that she went to study the special effects technology of movies.

And Charlotte Booth is also one of Hollywood directors who are good at using special effects technology in recent years.

——In the use of special effects, he may not be as ambitious as James Cameron, but he is more delicate and vivid.

Many times, Susan feels that the special effects in Charlotte's movies are simply real.

This kind of delicate and real shock is not something Cameron's movies can give her.

Therefore, every Charlotte film, Susan will also watch the first time it is released.

As a film producer, although she has not been a leading producer, as the Emperor Napoleon said——

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

Fighting in the workplace until now, Susan naturally also has the idea of ​​making her own movies, so she will continue to track the development of computer special effects.

But now ~www.readwn.com~ she is sensitively aware that Charlotte Booth’s Ghost Party studio must have some technological breakthrough in real-life motion capture technology——

Therefore, they can produce "mummies" with expressions that look like real people and even show obvious emotions.

"However, it is even more scary because of this! This is the so-called Uncanny Valley effect, right?"

Susan wondered.

This idea, but Susan’s misunderstanding——

The so-called uncanny valley effect is a hypothesis about how humans feel about robots and non-human objects.

It was proposed in 1969. It shows that when robots resemble humans more than a certain degree, humans’ reactions to them will suddenly become extremely disgusting——

That is, even a little difference between a robot and a human will be very conspicuous, so the whole robot has a very stiff and terrifying feeling, just like facing a walking dead.

——In other words, the Uncanny Valley effect is more manifested in puppets, robots, and 3D animations that are more similar to living human images.

Like the mummy on the big screen, its appearance is still very far away from the living person.

The fear it gives people is more caused by people's natural fear of death and monsters.

Of course, there are also mummy's expressions that are very real, and the factors that make the audience more add to the drama, but it has nothing to do with the uncanny valley effect.

As of 1999, the area where the uncanny valley effect is more obvious in Hollywood movies is still in the field of 3D animation.

Like the cowboy Hudy in Pixar's "Toy Story", some of them have touched the boundary of the Uncanny Valley effect.

In fact, how to avoid the uncanny valley effect is also an area that Hollywood 3D animation people are working hard to study...
