Park Mingxiu also stopped talking. In fact, it was inevitable for them to ask such a question. Otherwise, if they pretended not to know about the hot topics at the moment, they would easily cause trouble. The entertainment environment in Hanguo is so realistic.
Fortunately, Liu Qingshan was mentally prepared for all this and dealt with it naturally: "Actually, Sister Xi Shan has a higher status than me in China. For example, she holds the financial power of my Snowland Studio! "
Jin Xishan said proudly: "This is a fact. Because I have been busy practicing voice training and producing albums recently, I have not received any announcements for film and television dramas. But on the contrary, my savings have increased a lot, because I also receive dividends from the studio! "
In fact, everyone knows about the relationship between the two of them, but it has not been publicly announced yet. Especially when the two of them revealed these unknown secrets, it further confirmed the rumors.
"The recording of the first episode started yesterday?" Liu Qingshan first changed the subject.
"After dinner yesterday, the final destination of the three groups was determined by winning or losing the game! We are not the worst off. Zheng Junhe and HAHA are going to Hollywood. I don't know what content the show crew has arranged for them. I guess they will join the crew. It’s unlikely!”
Yoo Jae Suk is just like everyday chatting, he says whatever he wants and it will be edited afterwards anyway.
This is also the latest variety show format planned by Liu Qingshan. Even though Han Guo's variety show level is much higher than that of Hua Guo, there has never been such a one-shot variety show concept before.
Liu Qingshan was just having fun and didn't tell the crew over there that he had already contacted them.
"Huang Guangxi hasn't made his official debut yet? Is he seventeen years old this year? It's just right for a child to stay in the cold country." Jin Xishan asked.
"Guangxi was born in 1988, just over seventeen years old. This is his official debut." Yoo Jae-seok introduced.
Liu Qingshan said in surprise: "This kid has a high starting point, and he will be at the top when he debuts!"
Yoo Jae Suk asked: "Mr. Liu, do you think our "Extreme Challenge" will definitely be a hit? Just looking at the investment, it is far better than any other variety show!"
"The popularity of the show is inevitable. In terms of unprecedented planning and creativity, it has surpassed other variety shows!" Park Myung-soo didn't seem to care much about the broadcast effect. "I am more concerned about the things in front of me. I don't know what Mr. Liu will do." What kind of challenges do we have lined up?”
"Since the challenge content in the first two issues is a movie, of course it will be related to it!" Liu Qingshan raised his hand and looked at the time, "You six are the resident MCs, and the filming content is also centered around you! Although today Sister Xishan and I appear in the camera, but you two are the ones accepting the challenge, and we are the producers, which means that we are responsible for supervising and assigning the challenges you accept!"
"Will every future issue be set like this?" Park Mingxiu has a keen eye and is always trying to find out.
Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "At least the settings of the first dozen episodes are different. I can only tell you that subsequent guests will have to participate in the challenge content of each episode. Since I am the planner of this show, of course I will Make yourself comfortable first!”
Jin Xi Shan is a husband and a wife, and her tone is affirmative and direct: "This is unquestionable, and Shanzi has the advantage of the home field. Although my sister sympathizes with the two brothers' experiences, the theme of the content cannot be changed, so she can only show sympathy!" "
Park Myung Soo couldn't help but look horrified, "Is the role we are going to challenge very difficult, or is the environment very difficult?"
Jin Xishan shook his head, "The environment is very good and the role is very simple, but the image is a bit embarrassing!"
Not only the two people opposite, but also the entire film crew looked surprised, and even had a bad feeling of fear filling their hearts.
Jin Xishan quickly solved the mystery, "Actually, I am playing two gorillas!"
"Pfft!"
Everyone present couldn't help laughing. Only Liu and Pu had dull faces, and their eyes were filled with hatred when they looked at Jin Xishan.
Liu Qingshan explained at this time: "There is no way. There is currently no suitable crew for you in China, so you can only come to our snowy studio to make guest appearances! Unfortunately, we have just finished producing an action movie like "Kung Fu". You guys It’s late, and now I only have to help create a special effect of a gorilla for a certain movie. To be honest, brother, I can’t bear it!”
The laughter around him got even louder, mainly due to Liu Qingshan's expression of sympathy and gloating, which was really funny.
Jin Xishan tried his best to hold back his smile: "Actually, there is another project under development. It is a special effect from a Hollywood gangster movie. Their request is to develop anti-ageing special effects. The effect must be enough to be fake and real, and it can resist The gaze of the 4K lens. Unfortunately, you will be able to catch up if you come a few days later. At present, our development results can only achieve the aging effect!"
Yoo Jae-seok was much smarter than Park Myung-soo. He was stunned and realized that Jin Hee-sun was still deceiving him, so he was furious: "Hee-sun, didn't you and Mr. Liu learn bad things after just one year together? Where was the innocence and sweetness before?"
"What's going on? What's going on?" Park Mingxiu asked hurriedly.
Yoo Jae Suk explained to him with a grimace: "Hee Sun is clearly deceiving us. The aging effect is completely nonsense! We all know that there is no need for special effects to make people look older. The current makeup methods are enough to make people look real. , on the contrary, special effects are needed to make people young. If she is not deceiving us, what else could it be?"
Park Mingxiu finally understood, and even his eyes became unkind.
Liu Qingshan helped Jin Xi cover up: "My Snow Land has indeed received such an order, and the partner is Gollum from "The Lord of the Rings". Even the big production is directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Robert De Niro. , starring Al Pacino and Joe Pesci."
He understood Jin Xishan's purpose of speaking out, and he also had this intention to use it to promote his studio, so the two of them sang and harmonized, and in a few words, such secret news quietly appeared in front of the world through a variety show.
This news is not big news for Hollywood, but it is a huge news for Asia, because everyone from the director to the leading actors are familiar old-school big names and are frequent guests of Hollywood's top productions.
The eyes of the two people in front of them were indeed different, especially Park Mingxiu, whose face was full of shock: "Mr. Liu's Snow Land actually made it to Hollywood?"
Liu Qingshan nodded, "I created several scripts for them, and the special effects were produced by us. This is one of the conditions in exchange! Okay, are you all full? We'll set off right away!"
He did not continue to go in-depth on this issue. It would be good to just touch on some things. If he talked too much, the propaganda meaning would be too obvious.
It was already past ten o'clock when we arrived at the Snowy Studio. He led the two of them around the vast factory buildings and brought them to Frederick.
The special effects of the gorilla do exist, but the special effects part does not occupy a large share of the entire movie.
What Liu and Park need to do is to first learn some special movements and facial expression animation tutorials from several motion capture actors, and then put on tight suits full of small balls and walk around.
Producers will transfer their complex body and facial movements to the animated characters. This process may not even use a computer, but use frame-by-frame rotoscoping, which is just a monotonous tracking of the live footage frame by frame.
Then the animators made the character animations manually. They needed to refer to video materials. Before, they studied the actors' performances, and even drew directly by looking at themselves in the mirror.
Now that we have the video materials of Liu and Park, we can directly fill in the character movements between different key frames based on their physical images.
Early motion capture was still a technology exclusive to studios. Actors wore tight-fitting suits and were surrounded by specialized cameras and lights in the middle of an empty stage.
Now Andy has proposed the concept of "performance capture", which involves multiple actors and can capture facial and even lip movements.
Therefore, the production of Snowland has also greatly improved the realism of facial and full-body motion capture, and brought motion capture from the studio to the set, allowing top motion capture actors to perform and interact with other actors. This will also be the digital technology in future movies. Standard process for character creation.
However, these two "temporary special actors" from Han Country do not need to rush to the set, because there are no scenes of gorillas interacting with people in this movie, their images are just designed.
Even in the cold country, where the entertainment industry is already quite developed, such new motion capture special effects are still in the previous shooting process. At present, only Andy's Yimeizhi Film Studio has mastered the early development, and even the special effects team in Hollywood has only a little knowledge of it.
Although such high-tech shooting methods are boring to learn, some of the high-tech application techniques involved are still quite interesting. Therefore, after getting through the initial reluctance, both Liu Jae-seok and Park Myung-soo gradually began to became interested.
Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan actually didn't have much to do. They only had to follow the whole process, make trouble for their studies and performances from time to time, and say some sarcastic words, which was enough to ensure that the studio was always filled with a happy atmosphere.
For the special effects production of the gorilla, in fact, as early as the filming of "The Lord of the Rings", Yimeizhi Film Studio already had a complete set of production processes. In addition, several special effects actors sent by Andy were professionals, so in a short time One day of exertion is enough.
However, due to the addition of two newcomers, Liu and Park, the specific production time was greatly extended. Fortunately, their roles are not large and they do not need to have a complicated plot like other gorillas.
In the morning of the next day, the two actually completed the role play successfully, but they were eager to see the final effect, so they waited until the afternoon to leave the snowy area.
The content of this challenge has a premise, which is that the shots they participated in must be officially included in the released version, so both of them attach great importance to the future performance effects.
With the people from Youmeizhi Film Studio, the final special effects must be quite high-end. It is completely different from the previous special effects. The two of them have a full sense of accomplishment.
