The 299th chapter seems to have reached the peak of life
Early game production, including CG animation and motion capture, basically only invited special motion capture technology actors, but later with the development of technology, even the faces and expressions of actors can be clearly captured.
This also leads to the importance of acting skills for motion capture. Of course, the requirements for actors' acting skills are very strict, from movies and TV series. The requirements for the action capture of games are not as high as that in this regard, because there is a later existence, through technical adjustments and corrections, it is like a filter beauty camera on a live broadcast platform. As long as you are not ugly and miserable, you can become like a fairy.
Although the cost of these post-productions is not small, it is obviously lower than asking an actor with a performance fee of millions.
If the participants in a game are all actors, there are basically only three explanations that can be explained.
The first is that developers and makers strive for excellence, and they hope to do the best in any place. After all, the later corrections and real-person expressions are directly captured. It is easy to see the difference when compared with the two. Of course, this difference is still difficult for most non-professional players, and whether players can find that this is related to the game's footage.
If a game frequently appears and the faces of the main characters are close-up, then don't suspect that the production team must be very confident in shaping the expressions of the game characters, and this type often appears in interactive movie games.
The second is that game manufacturers need the traffic of these big-name actors to promote the popularity of the game, which is almost similar to the spokesperson.
As for the third one, there is no explanation. It is purely the producer's personal wishes. If you like an actor and the role of an actor, you will be more clear that you are chasing stars with public funds.
The actors needed for the game's motion capture finally made a way with the Shanghai Opera, the main characters in the game.
Yang Chen, the main core characters, Arthas, Jaina, and Yilidan, were specially selected. In the end, one student got the role of Arthas, and the other two were taken down by the other two special actors.
The remaining subdivisions are not too many, or important characters with not very outstanding plots, such as Kane's Bloodhoof, Delin Proudmore, etc., are all assigned to them.
Well, in addition to these characters, there are also human soldiers, knights, beast infantry, etc., and of course some of them are guest appearances.
The names of these actors will eventually appear on the production team's list.
It can be said that the list of producers after the final game of Nebula Game can be regarded as one of the longest in the industry.
Even many players said on the official website that this is too long. Did Nebula Games write all the cleaning aunts in the company?
Of course, this is not the case, but as long as the employees who have participated in the game production, even if they only work for one week and leave the job in the second week because of other things, Nebula Games will enter their list into the final team list of the game.
Because Yang Chen knew very well how much this was for game makers; he also understood how important this was for game makers.
…………………
Inside the motion capture studio formed by Jiangxingyun Games.
"Director Zhang, is there any mystery in this shot like this?" Looking at the camera just now, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang sat next to him and said to a bald director who was about fifty years old wearing a baseball cap.
Zhang Hankun is an art film director in the industry who has a high application of colors in the camera and has won many domestic awards.
He did not appear in person like the previous "Metal Equipment: Phantom Pain", because there was a comparison of dream memory before, Yang Chen was able to distinguish between good and bad shots in dream memory while shooting by himself. Although Wang Yaliang's shot on the "Snake Eater" made a lot of changes, he still came from "Metal Equipment: Phantom Pain".
In Dream Memory, it has to be said that although this game is classic and great enough, it is behind the times.
Learn from strengths and weaknesses, which is what you must do to succeed.
Listening to Yang Chen's words, Zhang Hankun explained.
After the explanation, the crew entered the rest time. Zhang Hankun took the lunch box handed over by the staff, looked at the camera just now, and said curiously to Yang Chen: "Mr. Yang, is this filmed by you going to play in the game?"
He is really confused about this. He has been filming literary and artistic films for many years and won many awards, but he is quite aware that he probably has no hope in his life, and he has not made much money in literary and artistic films. In recent years, he has also thought about his future retirement.
When he found out that the director recruiting for Nebula Games and saw the 2 million yuan reward, he searched the Internet and saw that the company was quite awesome. He recommended himself without saying a word, but he didn't know much about the game.
"Well, it is played in segments in the game. It can be understood as a TV series. Thank you for your hard work in the later production." Yang Chen nodded and smiled.
"Why are you working with money? Is it hard or not?" Zhang Hankun said with a smile, and then he was a little curious: "To put it bluntly, although we have no big names in the actors, we have to spend a lot of money on the subsequent special effects and CG production, right?"
After all, he is not a regular crew. In fact, as a director, he doesn't even know how much money they have. The only thing he knows is that these two young bosses are very generous. They are all given money and food directly, and even the boxed lunches are all for one. The other party didn't say anything, and after signing the contract, he directly paid half of the money and went to his account.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the lighting included in this equipment was. Although the costumer was not the top-notch, he was definitely at the upper level. However, this actor was not a well-known actor.
To put it bluntly, isn’t this a cannon hitting a mosquito?
"It's considered the top in China. The total cost should be about 40 million US dollars." Yang Chen pulled out the rice, then put the duck legs in the lunch box into Wang Yaliang's bowl next to him, and said without much attention.
Here Yang Chen is talking about the cost of the entire game project, but obviously Zhang Hankun did not understand it this way.
Smack...
The duck legs caught by the chopsticks fell to the ground.
40 million?? Or US dollars!?
Zhang Hankun's eyes widened, then he turned his head to look at the brand new machinery and equipment beside him, as well as the actors with motion capture infrared instruments in the distance.
Feeling a little incredible.
As for the fake one?
If he hadn't known the company Nebula Games, he would definitely think he was bragging.
But when he searched for Nebula Games before, he remembered a news that the boss of Nebula Games spent money to buy a building to build a dormitory for employees within the company.
There is also a series of news about how rich Nebula Games is. In addition, he also asked some of his friends and decided to apply for the job after confirming that this is a very awesome company.
Then Zhang Hankun suddenly thought of a person who was not good at the previous cocktail party. After drinking too much, he brags to himself with a proud look on his face, saying that he had deceived several investments to shoot a movie with a cost of about 20 million rmb, which was about to be released.
He hasn't forgotten that pride yet.
But now, his crew team that looks like a rich second generation is playing, is actually a project team with a cost of up to 40 million yuan? And it’s still US dollars?
And he himself is also a director who has filmed $40 million?
