"Eh? I mean, wasn't it Sazu who helped you fight?"
Sa Shoujian shook his head: "If the 'Taiyi Jinhua Divine Thunder' is really released, it will be a shocking news. The movie has a budget, how could it be possible to spend such a huge amount of money - speaking of this ,Do you understand it?"
"." Shangluo was silent for a while.
He did not ask Sa Shoujian, but directly asked Yanqiu:
"Senior sister Yanqiu? Or junior sister?"
"Junior sister, I am a freshman in high school."
"Then, Junior Sister Yanqiu, how did you achieve those flying swords, the shadow puppets of Heaven, and the great magical powers of Taiyi Jinhua in the movie? Then...is it you."
"It's me, but it's not me."
? ? ?
"Hey~" Yanqiu smiled, "That's the secret book of our sect: Tiandao Shadow Puppet. The literary plays you see are all performed by me. But the martial arts, such as flying swords, are all mine. The shadow puppet is performing. I don’t know how to wield a sword myself. So it’s me, not me. I am acting as my own substitute.”
"Ah!" Shangluo understood immediately, "Sazu, so what exactly is the 'Tiandao Shadow Puppet'?"
"This is for you." Sa Shoujian handed Shangluo a book that had been on the table.
The cover of the book reads "Lei Shuo", and the author clearly writes "Sa Shoujian".
"This is the teaching material of our department. The book "Lei Shuo" is hundreds of years old and is sold in all major bookstores. Those who are knowledgeable know that this is the method of thunder, and those who are not familiar with it can also have fun reading it. Now, you turn to 42 pages.”
With a splash, Shangluo turned over the book——
First line on page 42:
To carry out the method of the innate way and send generals of one's own soul, this is called the method.
Shangluo then murmured: "The method of practicing the innate way is the way of heaven? Sending one's own soul general is the shadow puppet?"
"Correct answer." Sa Shoujian nodded, "The so-called shadow puppet of heaven is to use the method of the innate way to send his own generals. In other words, before recruiting divine generals, Shenxiao Sect must first learn how to use them. The god of my own vitality - that is, the soul. Then I regulate the five qi, mix the hundreds of gods, and use my god of vitality to summon the god of nothingness; use my own qi to combine the qi of nothingness and add steps. The Gang Jue Eye, a secret magic talisman, mediates the transformation of the machine. If the talisman conforms to the contract, the thunder will be carried in the palm of the hand and encompass the heaven and earth in the body. This is how the thunder method is."
He pointed to Yan Qiu next to him: "This method is actually common to Lei Xiu and Xuan Xiu, just like Qiu Tianshi's Quanzhen sect, which also practices Xuanzhen and Danding. It's just different from other schools. Compared with the Xuan Cultivation Method, our Xuan Cultivation uses talismans, and also starts from the Shadow Puppet of Heavenly Dao."
"Ah" Shangluo understood, but not completely, "I now know that those Wang Lingguan who flew into the sky and escaped from the earth were played by Yan Qiu's 'God of Origin'. But... what about those explosions? Those big ones that were everywhere. What happened with the explosion?”
"Yeah." Sa Shoujian smiled, "You've got the point right. The special effects accounted for a large portion of the film's production budget."
"But in my opinion, there seems to be no way to directly post-process the images right now? Other than drawing directly on the film."
Master Satian looked at him.
"." Shangluo was stunned, "Really! I'm really drawing on film!"
"It's true." Yanqiu nodded, "It's precious, or how to call it Tianyi Guiren. It's very expensive. After learning Shen Dao Shadow Puppet, Lei Xiu first learned Shen Dao Yue Jiang ; The first thing our Xuanxiu learned was Shenda·Tianyi Guirin. We have a large production site there, and there is no way to reproduce it here. But... eh?"
Her ears suddenly moved, she looked at a square box that had been placed on the tea table, and plugged it in.
"It turns out that Master has already prepared it. How about showing it to them?"
"Well, go ahead."
After receiving Sa Shojian's permission, Yanqiu walked to the square box, laid her hands on it and said, "Play."
The box projected light like a movie projector onto the wall - exactly what it looked like when they entered, sat down, and talked to Sa Shoujian.
"Fast forward." She ordered, and the projector began to play at double speed until it fast forwarded to the current real-time image, which was what they looked like 3 seconds ago. The picture is not as clear as a movie, the colors are somewhat distorted, and there is a lot of noise. But it is undoubtedly a real-time image.
"Is this a camera? Or real-time projection? What kind of high technology is this!!" Shangluo was shocked.
"What kind of technology? This is magic." Yanqiu carried the box over, dragging the wires behind it. However, the strange thing is that as soon as she picked up the box, the screen oscillated violently, which did not match her movements of holding the box.
"Don't talk nonsense first." Putting the box steady, Yan Qiu knocked on the box three times, as if knocking on the door.
There were three "dong dong dong" sounds inside, and then she opened the box - the structure inside was clear at a glance.
Connected to the wires are light bulbs that project the film. In addition to containing film, the entire box also contains a small observation room, drawing room, and screening room. And in every room, there were some broad beans sitting.
There was one fava bean each in the screening room and observation room, and four in total in the drawing room. The bare broad beans were sitting there with no arms or legs, but there were some small parts such as paintbrushes, notebooks, and speakers scattered around them, as if they were working just now.
One frame of film is about the same size as a broad bean—it’s obvious that broad beans were chosen because of their size. When the film was rotating, it happened to pass by the seats of four broad beans in the drawing room. Their little paintbrushes were still on the table, and their little ink cartridges were next to them.
"The Tianyi nobles here will not work when being watched. After closing the lid, they will start painting. Because the picture is relatively simple, four Tianyi nobles can complete it. That is the picture It came out with some distortion. Those noises were caused by drawing too fast and some clerical errors. The workspace we use for post-production special effects processing is much larger than this."
She gestured to a cabinet as high as a wall: "We call this machine a camera, and the number of Tianyi nobles is calculated in terms of 'soldiers and horses'. The one in front of us is a six-horse camera, which is the smallest. We There are usually three to four hundred soldiers and horses in a large-scale camera. The machine is very large, as big as a wardrobe, and a bedroom, bathroom, dining room, etc. must be prepared inside.
"They are not all broad beans, there are also peas, mung beans, etc., which share different functions. There are 12 kinds of Tianyi nobles, and different beans can be used to recruit. For example, small beans are more delicate than large broad beans. Again For example, the color processing of red beans is better, the lines of mung beans are better, etc.
"If you want a higher frame rate, such as 60 frames or 120 frames, or better picture quality and special effects, you need to arrange the number and composition of soldiers and horses according to different needs - processing Wang Lingguan's big movie requires thousands of troops. Ma, burned a lot of food and grass. These are the belongings of our Shenxiao sect, they are not the same as yours."
After saying that, she raised the lid and said hello to the inside: "Thank you for your hard work. Your food and grass will be distributed later when the work is over."
She put the lid back on. The Tianyi nobles in the box continued to paint, and the pictures continued to be projected on the wall. This time, the picture quality seems to be better than before.
