In 90 years, James Cameron filmed "Terminator 2". He used extraordinary imagination and the best computer technology at the time to create an audio-visual feast that affected the world.
The T-800 and T-1000 in the movie are completely indistinguishable from the real and the real is difficult to distinguish. And all this was done in less than a year.
In terms of hardware, Zhou Qingfeng has far stronger equipment than Cameron. Whether it's the PS3 supercomputer for parallel computing, or the super personal computer that he uses to play cards.
In terms of software, Zhou Qingfeng can also find professional-grade image processing tools from the future e-waste purchased. If he wants to, he can create a video that deceives the human eye.
As for the personnel...
Chen Rui was called back to the imperial capital after spending a few days on the southeast front line and asked to perform a top-secret mission. He was so excited that he was going to take part in a test of advanced equipment, and as a result, he was dragged to the big shed in the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
To be exact, it is a studio.
Several sets of digital cameras appeared in the studio under the name of'imported goods'. The shed is so big that trucks carrying the scenery can drive in directly.
The ground is laid on the track for the camera to move, and hundreds of professionals invited from major studios are getting familiar with the equipment. The prop group is setting up a huge blue screen, and several deputy directors are discussing how to deploy personnel.
Chen Rui came in only after several inspections. He thought he would see something new and strange, but after a glance, he realized that he was only in the wrong place.
"Why is this? Make a movie?"
There are a group of actors in unique military uniforms... actors
The 87-style military uniforms are too old-fashioned. These are the digital camouflage that will be very popular in the future twenty years later, from the handwriting of the little fairy-handsome, beautiful, and powerful, which can reflect the military's temperament.
In addition to military uniforms, there are also several vehicles in the studio that were moved in as the background. These have both military vehicles and civilian vehicles, but they cannot be opened, they are just a shell.
But this shell is very futuristic. Among them, the appearance of one vehicle is particularly exaggerated. Refer to the super-heavy vehicle in "Wandering Earth", and even the internal structure is restored as much as possible.
Chen Rui stood under the car, dumbfounded.
This car is a wooden prop. The car body has been painted and turned into a metallic gray, and it is purposely distressed.
If the truck can be understood, then the setting in front of the green screen is incomprehensible. It was empty, but it was pointed at by several digital cameras from multiple angles. It seemed that there would be some heavyweights on the stage.
But in fact, there is only one table in front of the green screen, and on the table is a model that resembles a cabin. There is also a moving ladder for the pilot to board the plane next to it.
On the ladder, a camera is hung on a mobile boom. It seems to be shot from the air and close range. But this scene is so crude, I don't know what to shoot.
Right next to the ladder, Zhou Qingfeng wearing a four-pocket waistcoat was discussing with the cameraman. Seeing Chen Rui appearing, he immediately waved and shouted, "Chen Rui, come here. I'll be waiting for you."
Chen Rui was completely confused and stepped forward and asked: "Zhou, are you...?"
"Make a scene." Zhou Qingfeng pointed to the boarding ladder, "You are the protagonist."
what
Chen Rui was nervous. Let him not be afraid of air combat with the enemy, but he is not good at filming, and he has never learned it.
"It's okay, it's very simple." Zhou Qingfeng held the shots of the sketches in his hand and explained them one by one.
"Boarding?" Chen Rui looked at the wooden cabin, "I want to go in there?"
"Yes." Zhou Qingfeng pulled Chen Rui up the ladder and asked him to rehearse.
"Assuming this is the fighter you usually drive, there are five HUDs like one up and four down. Radar, avionics, body, etc. are all on these HUDs."
Uncle Zhou pointed towards the cabin, but the actual situation made Chen Rui laugh. Because the cabin is also all green, a piece of cardboard is pictured as green, with five frames on the top with green lines of different shades.
"These boxes..."
"These frames are the HUD you have to face. All the information is on the top during the flight. I will give you makeup and a special flight suit later.
After you board the plane, sit down and imagine a transparent bubble-like hatch on your head. Then there will be a few close-up shots and you have lines. "
"There is still a line?" Chen Rui felt that he was no longer treated as a special treatment, and was regarded as a'character'.
"In fact, just one sentence,'Tower Tower, Raptor One requests to lift off'. I will echo a sentence next to it,'Tower received, permission to lift off.'" Zhou Qingfeng was talking about the drama.
This line was so awkward that Chen Rui got goose bumps all over his body. He said hurriedly: "Zhou, don't you think.'Raptor One' is too exaggerated. Who would use such a call sign? I'll be laughed to death when I go back."
"People want to be so exaggerated. They like this domineering name." Zhou Qingfeng patted Chen Rui on the shoulder, "Believe me, you will be hot."
Chen Rui felt that he was not good at fire, but at cremation. He was really unhappy but couldn't hold back that he was ordered to come, and his superiors asked him to follow Zhou Qingfeng's command.
Let it do, just do it!
Even the sword and the fire can't frown.
Didn't expect it to be filming? Knowing this long ago, Chen Rui would rather go to the health clinic to pretend to be sick than come.
"Clothing group, take Chen Rui to change the flight suit. Make-up group, I will put on makeup for Chen Rui later, to reflect the bravery and demeanor of modern soldiers." Zhou Qingfeng waved, and the whole studio became busier.
Chen Rui realized at this moment that Zhou Qingfeng really wanted to make a film. He photographed a modern air force base, and all the personnel and equipment are different from what people are used to.
The key to this play lies in the flight test of an advanced fighter by a young pilot. Although it was just running on the ground, Zhou Qingfeng's words were a fighter plane beyond imagination.
It takes just over a minute from start to finish, which is really very simple.
If he hadn't played it himself, Chen Rui would definitely think the play was very emotional. New cars, new guns, new uniforms and new fighters appeared on the scene, which was exciting.
Even the flight suits and helmets are extremely modern, and there are many concepts in them that are extremely advanced. For example, virtual enhancement and helmet aiming can make Chen Rui excited.
But... All equipment is props and fake.
"Zhou, why are you shooting this stuff?" Chen Rui was puzzled.
"In order to make the people happy." Standing under the wooden cabin model, Zhou Qingfeng said with a smile: "I'm serious, just to make the people happy, excited, and happy.
The requirements of the common people are actually very simple, to save face, to have a sense of honor and recognition.
In fact, most people live in a small area and have poor access to information. What others say, what do they believe. Someone needs to tell them the story of a powerful country.
Instead of letting those well-known paragraphs make nonsense, let me make up. I will make up ten thousand times better than those no-brainers. "
Zhou Qingfeng put his arms on his hips and said triumphantly: "After all, I have money."
Chen Rui was about to cry, thinking: "Zhou, you are teasing me. Just this green screen and props that can't be faked anymore, and what sense of honor and recognition are you talking about. This is a funny show to make fools? ."
But Zhou Qingfeng also patted Chen Rui on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "This is a top-secret mission. No information can be disclosed to the outside world. No matter what happens, nothing will be mentioned."
"It's like a three-year-old peeing and playing in the mud. It's too embarrassing. I beg me not to mention it." Chen Rui felt that he would never want to mention this in his life.
