Director’s Legend

Bao Jingjing, a student of Nortel's Literature Department, has a sharp language. Although it is not the well-known older woman in the future, her basic style has taken shape. At school, she is the female version of "Wang Shuo" recognized by her classmates. The enemy is cruel and sweet to his lover.

Shao Shuaijun, who was dizzy, took almost an hour to dispel Bao Jingjing's doubts about him, claiming that he would come to Chase Dream Entertainment the next day to verify whether it was true.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun felt that his throat was about to burst into flames.

However, it is worthwhile to bring Bao Jingjing over. This is a promising newcomer. In the trajectory of her last life, she became a hit with "33 Days of Broken Relationship" and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Later, with the TV series "Floating and Sinking", he won many screenwriting awards, not just a passing meteor.

The next day, with dark circles under his eyes, Shao Shuaijun met Bao Jingjing at the company, a female student wearing a Little Red Riding Hood and feeling very introverted. I really don't know why it's such a quiet look, why there is so much resentment hidden in it, so sharp and mean.

"Bao Jingjing, right? It's cool to scold me yesterday?"

Bao Jingjing was a little at a loss: "Are you really Director Shao Shuaijun?"

"You didn't read the sign outside the company? It's like a fake replacement. Today, there are not many people who dare to scold me like this, except for my parents. You are an exception." Shao Shuaijun said angrily. Seeing Bao Jingjing's appearance as a child who made mistakes, she curiously said, "I said, how can you talk so much on the phone, and when you get here, pull the little girl up?"

"I was originally a little girl."

"Puff." Shao Shuaijun squirted out a sip of tea on the spot, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, I am very optimistic about your screenwriting skills, and invite you to join our company. Would you like to?"

"willing."

"Very good." Shao Shuaijun asked assistant Wang Cuicui to come over, "Xiaocui, you take her to Wang Yixue and tell Wang Yixue that this little girl has a poisonous mouth, but she has a bit of talent. Let her learn how to write a screenplay."

"Okay, Bao Jingjing, come with me."

After dealing with Bao Jingjing, Shao Shuaijun rushed back to Lihuayuan Community. Huang Xiaoxian's house in "33 Days of Broken Relationship" was filmed in Liu Shishi's house, and everything seemed more real. For this reason, Liu Shishi had to move to Haiqing’s house, vacated his house, and handed it over to the crew to start decorating.

Shao Shuaijun put his arms around his chest, thinking about shooting in the elevator.

Gao Zhisheng and Li Fangfang were busy in the lead, while Wen Zhang was playing against Liu Shishi. Yang Ying and Bai Baihe each held a bowl of porridge, while drinking, watching the crew, laughing from time to time.

Shao Shuaijun saw it and shouted: "That Yang Ying, what time is it now, it's almost noon, didn't I ask you to go to Sister Wang's school for class, what are you doing so slowly?"

Yang Ying was taken aback: "There is no class this morning."

"No class? Even if there is no class, you can't get up so late. Like what, don't you know how to get up early to practice your acting skills. Soon most of the scenes will be finished, and your shots will be ready. Cry." Shao Shuaijun came over and touched his stomach. He didn't get up early today and he has not eaten breakfast. "Porridge? Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes." Yang Ying was criticized, her voice was much lower.

"Anything else? Go get me a bowl."

"okay."

Shao Shuaijun turned his head and looked at Bai Lily again: "You don't want to go to class?"

"today is Sunday."

"No need to go out on a date?"

"What?" Bai Lily was a little flustered.

Shao Shuaijun glanced at Bai Baihe: "I have very loose control over artists. You can fall in love with anything, but you still have to be careful. Try your best to put on makeup when you are dating. You are still a newcomer. Packaging will be greatly discounted."

"Do you know everything, boss?"

Shao Shuaijun nodded, Bai Baihe had been in frequent contact with Chen Yufan, who was in Yuquan's group recently. Shao Shuaijun knew that the two of them would unite in the future, and he was unwilling to dismantle the pair: "Chen Yufan, of course I know that it's not wrong to pursue love. As an artist, it's better to keep a low profile."

"We haven't fallen in love yet..."

Yang Ying walked out with a bowl of porridge: "Boss, porridge."

"No side dishes?"

"No."

"Remember to put some small dishes at home next time." Shao Shuaijun criticized, and walked away with the bowl. Gao Zhisheng had come to inform him that the scene was set. Sitting behind the monitor, while sipping warm porridge, while guiding the play, Shao Shuaijun feels very comfortable.

In this way, it took five days to finish filming the scene in Huang Xiaoxian's home.

Afterwards, some location scenes were carefully explained to Gao Zhisheng and Li Fangfang, and Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States.

He needs to review the progress of "Painted Skin". It is now the end of November, and the weather is gradually turning cold, but the progress of "Painted Skin" is still very slow, and the cooperation of several special effects companies has only completed less than one-tenth.

After watching the special effects shots made, Gao Yang gave a detailed introduction.

"Director, the degree of authenticity you require has always been a huge problem. Particle special effects can only partially imitate the effect of the big background. For the prototyping of monsters, it is always a bit abrupt with the big background. Now we are all waiting and see some special effects The company, can you come up with an effective solution."

"What if not?"

Miao Chenshan shook his head: "Either reduce the resolution or re-shoot. Our previous shooting was a two-dimensional picture, which was inconvenient for recording the expressions of monsters. We have inquired about and discussed with several special effects companies, Sony Image Productions The actor’s expression capture system that has been researched and invented can effectively help us build expressions. However, in this case, we need to re-convene the crew, which is a huge expense and a waste of time."

"Lao Yang, what do you mean?" Shao Shuaijun asked Yang Hongtao, who basically represented the investor of Painted Skin.

Yang Hongtao thought for a while: "Basically, what we mean is that we can overcome with special effects, so we don't call the crew. The normal shooting of "Painted Skin" cost more than 50 million yuan. In terms of special effects, 150 million yuan can be produced. They are all a little stretched. It’s too money-consuming to convene the crew and use the facial expression capture system. Moreover, it affects the release date. The summer file cannot be released. In order to increase the box office, it must be moved to the Spring Festival file. This investment cycle is too long ."

"The final battle between the monsters is the highlight, and the expression is abrupt, I absolutely don't allow it." Shao Shuaijun frowned, "Can the digital painting technology not even reach the 4K standard?"

The current 35mm film is generally between 1K and 2K. K is a picture quality index that describes resolution. 2K generally refers to a resolution of 2048×1556, which is the mainstream projection configuration of theaters currently on the market. Shao Shuaijun asked for 4K because of the severe loss of resolution during the mastering process. There is no 4K standard. After N times of copying, after being screened in theaters, it may not even reach 2K.

In this case, "Painted Skin" takes such a huge amount of production and can only show the effects of ordinary movies. Is it meaningful?
