The scenes shot in recent days have been done through motion capture. The main scene is that the heroine Ryan tried to use the space station landing cabin to fly to the next destination, but was caught by the parachute and had to go out of the cabin to untie the parachute.
Eric sent Chris away and returned to the studio. Judy had changed into a simple space suit full of sensors and stood in front of a green screen. Because the movements of this part of the shot are too complicated, it is impossible to directly shoot real-life material, so we can only use motion capture to make pure CG scenes.
After waving his hand to indicate that everyone can start, Eric sat down in his director's chair, and the monitor screen in front of him displayed the rough outline of Judy in real time. The lens materials obtained in this way were finely processed and post-rendered, It can produce a CG picture that is no different from a real person, and at the same time ensure the authenticity of human body movements in the CG picture.
Eric took his director's script and flipped through the shot sketches and notes on it, and quickly entered the working state. He ordered Judy to do a few random actions to test the picture effect, and the shooting work officially started.
Blockbusters with special effects can usually give people an unparalleled viewing experience, but the real shooting process is actually very monotonous, especially the shooting of "Gravity", which has almost no outdoor scenes. Although the studio is very spacious, in order to better create artificial lighting scenes, most of the interior areas are actually very dimly lit. Shooting in the studio for several months can even make people slightly claustrophobic.
After a busy afternoon, Eric announced the end of work on time at five o'clock.
Looking at Judy, who just hurriedly took off the sensor on his body and was sitting tiredly resting by the workbench, Eric handed over a bottle of water and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Judy unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank half of the bottle in one gulp. After a long sigh of relief, she said, "If I didn't have to continue filming for more than a month, I would be fine now."
It has been about two and a half months since the filming started in early July.
Due to various problems during the shooting process and Eric's desire to adopt some new shooting techniques, the original three-month shooting cycle may be extended to four months. Even if everything goes well, the film will be finalized at least until the end of October .
Eric showed a understanding expression on his face, and said: "Persist for another month, the last set of exterior shots, we shot in the Colorado River Valley in Arizona, then everyone can stay there for a longer time as a vacation, over there The scenery is still good.”
After staying in the studio for more than two months in a row, Judy is also looking forward to Eric's itinerary.
Putting half a bottle of water in his hand on the table, Judy looked at the man in front of him who was obviously many years younger than himself but always gave people a sense of calmness that only middle-aged people who have experienced the world have experienced, and suddenly said: "Eric , aren’t you tired, recently there are fireflies everywhere.”
"Probably, I'm so busy that I don't even know I'm tired." Eric said while thinking, then looked at Judy in a blink of an eye, and said, "Have you heard anything about me?"
"For example, for a script, they bought the entire Sony Pictures Films Company," Judy put his arms on the table and said jokingly, "Everyone is saying that you want to be the king of Hollywood." Woolen cloth."
Eric nodded seriously: "This should be a compliment to me."
With a smile on her face, Judy nodded solemnly: "Yes, yes."
Eric showed a clear expression: "You should be considered ironic, it seems that I should consider giving my heroine small shoes to wear."
Judy laughed a few times, and said: "To be honest, a few days ago, many friends wanted me to find out what you said, but from what I know about you, although you are hateful, you are not evil. would actually do those things, so I just told them it was okay."
Eric nodded with a strange smile, looked at the woman beside him, and said with a bit of bewitching tone: "Judy, do you know what will happen next when a woman unknowingly understands another man?"
Judy's eyes flickered, her expression suddenly flustered, and then she gave Eric a hard look, stood up, with a bit of a queen look, and said in a cold tone: "I think I have to remove my makeup."
Eric looked at the figure of the woman fleeing in a panic, smiled, opened his laptop and began to write today's work diary.
It wasn't until six o'clock that Eric left Firefly Studios and rushed to the Trousdale Manor in Beverly Hills.
Today is Thursday, September 17th.
The second season of Desperate Housewives on the Brvao channel and the premiere episode of the new reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are confirmed to air today simultaneously.
Because of its strong popularity, although it is also the first episode of the new season, "Desperate Housewives" will serve as the lead of "The Housewives of Beverly Hills". After the first episode, "The Housewives of Beverly Hills" will start next week. The time will be adjusted to the prime time broadcast on Wednesday night.
After the finale of the first season in May created a super-high viewership of 7.07 million cable TV stations, the second season of "Desperate Housewives" has been the subject of media discussions in the past few months. Many people think that Firefly Group may make "Desperate Housewives" " moved to a public television network like ABC.
With the rise of cable stations, the overall ratings of public television networks have declined significantly in recent years. Therefore, Katzenberg even discussed with Eric very formally the possibility of converting "Desperate Housewives". The girl also took the initiative to mention the matter, saying that she didn't mind.
Eric was also a little moved at first. After all, transferring "Desperate Housewives" to the ABC network means that ABC will once again have a popular drama series with a ratings of over 20 million, and the revenue brought by the entire TV series will also be greatly increased. Increase.
However, after careful consideration, Eric dismissed the idea.
Because once "Desperate Housewives" is transferred to the ABC TV network, ABC is likely to gradually become a "female station" like the original time and space.
At this time, the Firefly system already has two very successful women's platforms, Lifetime and Brvao, one for white-collar women in urban elites, and one for housewives in North America. If ABC becomes a female channel again, it will not be a good thing for the TV business of the entire Firefly system.
The road conditions were a bit congested when leaving get off work, and the driver took a long detour, and it was almost seven o'clock when we returned to Trousdale Manor.
The car stopped at the gate of Yatou's mansion, but Eric found that the entrance of the mansion next door where Elizabeth and Julia used to live was very lively, and Yatou quickly ran over from the opposite side, holding Eric's arm and walking in own gate.
He raised his chin to the other side: "So, what's going on over there?"
"I borrowed the yard to hold a party. It's being prepared over there. It starts at 7:30."
At the beginning, Elizabeth and the girl bought these two sets of adjacent mansions together. Later, Elizabeth and Julia moved to the top of the mountain, and this place has always been vacant and has not been sold.
However, Eric imagined the scene where the girl borrowed something from Elizabeth, and said with some doubts: "You didn't use it secretly, did you, be careful Liz fights with you, I won't help."
The girl smiled and said: "No, we are good sisters, so what if we borrow something from each other."
"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to redefine the word 'good sister.'"
"Hehe," the girl smiled, walked into the living room of the villa, sat down on the sofa with Eric, and said, "It's very lively tonight, the main actors of "Desperate Housewives" and "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" will come , you can secretly pick and choose.”
Eric reached out and pinched the girl's cheek: "That's all."
"Ah," the girl twisted her face, opened her small mouth and grabbed Eric's finger, biting it twice before letting go.
Eric knocked on the girl's door, withdrew his hand, and said, "Let Nata prepare some food for me, and I'll take a shower first. Also, I won't go there tonight, you guys Let's play."
Ya Tou knew that Eric didn't really like this kind of lively party scene in his bones. During this time, he was so busy that he didn't want to socialize, so he didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to wash with you? I just learned massage recently. Help you relax"
Eric shook his head, got up and smiled, "Who did you learn from?"
"Natasha."
Eric shuddered: "Forget it."
"Hehe," the girl smiled and looked at Eric who walked up the stairs: "By the way, what do you want to eat?"
Eric waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want."
After bathing and having dinner, the sky has already darkened, and the next door has become more and more lively.
Eric didn't show up, and the guests who came to the party didn't know he was here tonight, so no one came to say hello, and Eric was happy to be quiet.
In Los Angeles in September, the temperature at night is kept at the most suitable 20 degrees.
Eric didn't plan to touch any more work tonight. After swimming in the pool in the yard for a while, he lay on the beach chair next to him and casually flipped through a girl's "VOGUE" magazine.
Natasha walked over silently and put a glass of orange juice on the small table next to Eric. Since that night, the girl has been very embarrassed in front of Eric.
Eric put down the magazine, sat up and smiled and waved his hands at the girl. Natasha moved a little closer, her face began to turn rosy, and her body stood stiffly in place, like a small animal that had fallen into a trap.
Eric looked at the tall girl in front of him who was wearing a small white shirt and white trousers but couldn't hide her fair skin. He knew that this girl was actually very conservative and would not allow himself to do anything here. He just held the girl's little hand After kissing her, she said, "Nata, you can go over there to play too, you don't have to stay with me here."
Natasha shook her head and whispered, "The boss asked me to stay here with the master."
Eric smiled and said: "Between the boss and the master, of course it is the master's order."
Natasha's face became even more rosy, but she insisted on shaking her head.
Eric pointed to a recliner next to him: "Then sit there and talk to me."
Natasha nodded, took two steps back and sat down on the edge of the recliner, with her slender waist straightened and her long legs together, quietly looking at the man lying relaxed across from her, with a little satisfaction in her eyes.
After getting along for so many years, although the twins always look quiet and rarely show their presence, in fact, everyone is very familiar with Eric, whether they are with Eric or vice versa.
There wasn't much dialogue, and Eric said a few words occasionally, and the girl next to him would hum slightly, but in the yard, it was Eric flipping magazines instead.
I don't know how long it took, and there was a burst of cheers in the mansion on the other side.
Calculating the time, the preliminary ratings data for the second season of "Desperate Housewives" on the east coast and the subsequent first episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" should have been released. According to the data samples from the East Coast, the overall ratings in North America are basically the same. has also been confirmed.
The first season has created a miracle in the ratings of basic cable stations, and it has maintained a high topic level for several months in a row. Eric is not worried about the ratings of the second season of "Desperate Housewives". The ratings of "The Beautiful Wife" are somewhat curious and expected.
"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is related to the prospects of the entire "Beverly Housewives" series in the future on Brvao Channel. If this reality show can be successful, once other "Beverly Housewives" series are launched, the overall ratings of Brvao Channel will be very guaranteed for at least the next five years .
Natasha followed Eric's gaze and looked towards the opposite side, and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you need me to go over there and ask?"
"No," Eric shook his head: "The data is there, and you will always know."
Natasha nodded, she was actually not willing to have the opportunity to be alone with Eric like this in her heart.
However, although Eric didn't ask Natasha to ask, someone took the initiative to come over.
"Eric, if Drew hadn't told me, everyone wouldn't know you were here tonight."
Kris Jenner is wearing a black low-cut dress, well-maintained makeup, and looks like a beautiful woman that makes people daydream.
Eric felt a little helpless in his heart. Although the girl was joking on the surface, she would still be jealous after all. Kris Jenner was obviously sent here on purpose to disrupt her relationship with Natasha.
When someone came over, Natasha stood up, politely brought a cup of coffee for Kris Jenner, then turned and returned to the villa.
Eric didn't bother to get up, looked at Kris Jenner who was sitting across from her charmingly, and asked, "The ratings for the first episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" should be released, how is it?"
Kris Jenner showed joy on her face: "The data that just came from New York shows that the number of viewers is about 3.5 million, and the audience rating for people aged 18 to 49 is roughly 2.0. According to preliminary statistics, this rating should be able to It ranks among the top five in viewership ratings of basic cable TV programs at the same time tonight, and the details will depend on tomorrow's detailed data. Moreover, if the broadcast time is moved to after 8:00 pm on Wednesday next week, the viewership data should be even better."
