"After the motion is captured, we will use CG technology to render and synthesize the muscles, skin, strange-shaped wounds, etc. The lip shape correspondence in the expression capture is completely formed based on the motion capture data, and then used as a key frame animation

Reference. All action scenes are produced according to traditional animation production methods. Only the body positions of each key frame are referenced to motion capture data. The subtle movement changes still require manual adjustment. After these complex processes, the

The audience saw a truly terrifying "licker" in the cinema, as if they were right next to them!" Steffler explained to Zhou Shaoming in detail.

"Very good, Carol! You are great, guys, let us steal the first place in "The Lord of the Rings" and let the world's first full CG character be born in our hands!" Zhou Shaoming smiled with satisfaction.

, clapped vigorously.

In my mind, the horde of corpses rushing like a tidal wave, the lickers as arrogant as the demons of the night, those deep-hidden and indelible memories became reality bit by bit.

These shots and images will receive excited and enthusiastic screams and applause from the audience!

Breaking away from the small space of the original "Resident Evil", Zhou Shaoming, as the creator of this movie, wanted to make the whole movie more grand, more impactful to people's vision, and more challenging to the imagination of the audience who are eager to be challenged.

Therefore, the city attacked by zombies will become the background of the entire movie and appear at the beginning of the movie. From the beginning, it is intended to make the entire cinema audience excited!

Fortunately, Zhou Shaoming has abundant funds to support his ideals and dreams. He is not like Paul Anderson in his previous life, thinking hard about where to save money and how to break a copper plate in half.

This is a square in the city, surrounded by buildings that reach into the sky. Zhou Shaoming arrived here with a team of seven hundred people.

Among the 700 people, there are 550 extras.

As many as 550 extras were used. They have two identities. One is walking in the square, or pedestrians in a hurry. The other is transforming into bloodthirsty zombies. They attack like crazy.

Biting and gnawing.

This scene is a scene of a zombie frenzy sweeping over like a wave, attacking the city with impunity.

A total of forty-five professional camera racks are installed in every corner at 360 degrees. Some are installed inside the building to look down. Some are placed on the ladders of fire trucks, and some are installed by staff on

They are pushed on rail cars, some are ordinary shoulder-mounted ones, and there are even many miniature cameras clamped on the extras' bodies to create similar first-person shots.

It was the first time to direct hundreds of people in a big scene. Zhou Shaoming was very excited. He jumped on a van, grabbed a loudspeaker in his hand, and shouted to everyone gathered here: "Today is a science fiction zombie movie.

For the birth of a record, no one has ever used so many people. No one has ever used so many cameras. But I want to tell you, hundreds of people are not my goal. Combined with your performances, and using computer technology and visual effects, we

There will be tens of thousands of zombies wreaking havoc in the camera, charging like crazy!"

The extras all stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that such technology existed.

Harry and Emma, ​​who played zombies, like everyone else, looked excitedly at the tall and majestic Smith Zhou, and painted in their minds a scene of the approaching doomsday.

"This movie doesn't just belong to me, not just to the heroine Mira, but to all of you here. It's your struggle that makes the movie complete, and it's your dreams that make the movie come true! On this day, everything will be recorded

It has entered history, and all of us are the creators of this history! Please work harder to make this scene that shocked the world real and perfect! Please everyone!"

Unexpectedly, Smith Zhou, who had always been a tyrant on the set, looked at everyone with hopeful eyes and bowed respectfully.

The extras were a little moved. Many of them were at the bottom of Hollywood who were used to playing second-hand roles. They were used to seeing directors act arrogantly and treating themselves as nothing, but no big-name director had ever shown such an attitude to everyone.

The supporting actor bows and thanks!

Some of the extras who were deeply moved shouted with tears of excitement in their eyes.

"Mr. Director, you are so kind."

"Yes, Mr. Director, it is our job to perform well. Even if we are just a bit player, we will perform well!"

"Mr. Smith-Chow, we will do our best to perform this movie well and let "Resident Evil" erode the entire world!"

"Let's work together, Mr. Director!"

The crowd was excited, and when we got to the end, everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs and clenching their fists. For the first time in this movie, I was also an actor, part of it, instead of feeling like I was playing a minor role that no one cares about!

"Thank you everyone, let's start history!" Zhou Shaoming's eyes were firm, and this scene, which was super grand and had the impact of an atomic bomb, began.

People were walking around the square in twos and threes. Some people had briefcases under their arms and were walking calmly on the sidewalk. Some people were sitting on the benches beside the square chatting. A few children were chasing and playing around them.

The road was jammed with cars, and anxious drivers kept honking their horns to vent their dissatisfaction.

The camera looks at the dense crowds and crowded streets from high altitude, foreshadowing that something terrible is about to happen.

"Boom!" A ball of orange-red flames suddenly exploded from the path on the street. Countless people looked over there with confused expressions on their faces.

As if they saw something, the crowd started to run away like crazy. The screams were so frightened that they could not be suppressed, and they were running hysterically in panic. Several children were squeezed by the adults who were eager to escape and fell down. They sat on the roadside.

Wiping tears sadly.

And the people in the car also started to abandon their cars and run wildly!

Zhou Shaoming kept looking at the monitor. All the shots were under his control. It was the first time he had controlled such a large scene, and he could hardly use his eyes.

Fortunately, the extras worked very hard, and each one scored 120 points for their passion and professionalism. Whether it was from the camera that looked at the entire ground, or the shoulder-mounted camera that chased the extras, their performance was very good.

Very good.

"Okay! Keep going, that's it!" Zhou Shaoming encouraged everyone in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the monitor without blinking, not even daring to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

This scene depends entirely on the skill of the actors, because there are no zombies around them, and they have to make it look like they are being chased by countless zombies, and then combine it with the computer to create the final picture.

On the camera, a large truck suddenly rushed out, driving wildly on the street in panic, crashing into the cars that were blocking it, as if it were an ancient mammoth that was eager to escape, fiercely,

Knock them away.

Steel twisted, car windows shattered, and several close-ups captured this horrific scene.

Screams, running, scattered people, out-of-control vehicles, sparks flying into the air, this scene was finally completed in Zhou Shaoming's tightly held, even sweaty hands.

"Cut! Perfect!" Zhou Shaoming breathed a sigh of relief as he was relieved, stood up, and waved to everyone excitedly.

OK, this shot is completed, and the next step is for the extras who were just chased to turn into crazy and bloodthirsty zombies that are being chased endlessly.

Dozens of makeup artists who were ready to go quickly rushed forward with makeup boxes and began to apply makeup to the extras one by one, turning them into the masters of that time and space, terrifying zombies.

Zhou Shaoming sat next to Harry and watched him transform from a little boy into a zombie with a section of his neck bitten off. He smiled warmly and handed over a bottle of water.

"Thank you, Mr. Director." Harry was very flattered. That night he helped Zhou Shaoming solve a somewhat difficult problem, but he never told anyone, and Zhou Shaoming didn't know.

"You're welcome, my little zombie!" Zhou Shaoming laughed and touched Harry's head, messing up his hair that had become thickened by pouring some liquid on it.

The makeup artist quickly took care of the little zombie, while another waiting extra sat in Harry's seat and started putting on makeup.

"Hey, Mr. Director, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You opened a window in my heart, told me something, and made me have a dream." Harry took a sip of water and looked at Zhou Shaoming with his big bright eyes, sincerely.

said.

"Oh? Really? Haha, you remind me of "Spring in the Cowherd Class" again. Am I Isabella?" As long as he is not in front of the camera, Zhou Shaoming is still a good old man, especially when it comes to those children who are full of dreams.

.

"Since arriving here, I feel that my life is budding. My previous life was so simple and boring! I want to make movies, become an actor, or a director. Anyway, as long as it is related to movies, I want to know about it.

I like all of them!"

"Very good, you little guy, keep it up! You will become the best version of yourself!" Zhou Shaoming smiled and clinked the mineral water bottle with Harry's, as if the two were clinking wine glasses.

"Mr. Smith Zhou, do you think I can become the second you?" Harry looked at Zhou Shaoming expectantly, his eyes full of admiration and admiration, and he tilted his head, letting his hair float in the wind.

"No, don't be the second me, Harry!" Zhou Shaoming took a sip of water, looked at the somewhat disappointed Harry with amusement, and said encouragingly: "You have to be the first you, the first Harry in the film industry!

"

The sun was shining, and the excitement echoed in Harry's heart. He looked at Zhou Shaoming who was leaving with a smile, and drank heavily.

"Yes, I want to be the first Harry!"
Chapter completed!
