Director’s Legend

"This is the expression capture technology?" Li Xiuxiu asked faintly.

"This is not, this is motion capture technology, used to design a gorilla's way of action. Real facial expression capture requires very complicated technology, not only to mark reflective points, but also to put a lot of miniatures on the mask. Camera to record the actor's muscle movement module."

Seeing Li Xiuxiu's confusion, Shao Shuixiu immediately waved to an assistant director to come over: "Go and take the mask of the expression capture device. By the way, call an engineer from the CG team to demonstrate the expression capture program."

"Don't bother." Li Xiuxiu shook her head.

"What's the trouble? I'm the boss of this crew. Whatever I say is what I say. Wife, you are not going to be a producer. In the future, we will be like Christopher Nolan's husband and wife. Nolan makes movies and her wife helps him produce. I After the movie is made, you will come to make the film, my wife." Shao Shuaijun said happily, why he likes to be a director? On the one hand, he can let the audience dream with him, and on the other hand, he is also a director.

"Where am I."

"Learn, my wife is so smart, she is not more than enough to be a producer."

Talking numbly, the assistant director came over with an expression capturing mask. This mask was a layer of tulle with a lot of micro cameras the size of soybean grains evenly distributed on it. Shao Shuaijun immediately put the mask on his face, and then motioned to the engineer to turn on the device.

On the computer screen, the running capture system software immediately presented Shao Shuaijun's expressions and movements on the computer. This software is specially designed for the chimpanzee Caesar. After the processing of the server, it can directly convert the captured human face trajectory to the chimpanzee face module.

Shao Shuaijun made a face, and the three-dimensional chimpanzee head on the computer also made a face. Shao Shuaijun blew a kiss, and the chimpanzee pouted and blew a kiss.

"Haha, really interesting, fun." Li Xiuxiu clapped her hands and said.

Shao Shuaijun took off his mask and shook it in front of Li Xiuxiu: "Would you like to try?"

"No." Li Xiuxiu has a slight habit of cleanliness, and has always been insensitive to things that I don't know how many people have touched.

"This is still a simple indoor expression capture headgear. We also have more complex outdoor expression capture jumpsuits and headgear. That set needs to be manipulated by professionals."

After taking a long time to let the curious Li Xiuxiu understand how "Rise of the Apes" was filmed, the two returned to Shao Shuaijun's temporary residence. In fact, making this kind of science fiction movie seems to use a lot of novel equipment and high-tech auxiliary methods, which is very fun. But I really understand that making movies is quite boring.

Take the mask and headgear as an example. It was very interesting when you first played it. Wearing it every day makes people tortured. Andy Serkins and others, almost the director called to stop, immediately threw away the headgear, and didn't want to wear it for a second.

Li Xiuxiu's interest is less than Shao Shuaijun's imagination, and he is not very interested in these high-tech equipment.

After arriving at Shao Shuaijun's temporary residence, Li Xiuxiu immediately grew her mouth after opening the door.

The whole room was piled up in a mess, all kinds of copies, video tapes, photographic equipment, and the living room and aisle were all stained. There are also some dirty clothes, thrown aside at random.

"My God, husband, is this the place where you live, I remember you love to be clean?" Li Xiuxiu said in surprise.

Shao Shuaijun laughed awkwardly: "This is only temporary. Recently, we are setting up a studio here. Many props can't fit. They are on my side. Anyway, I live alone and don't need much space. These videos and copies. Of course, I have to watch them frequently. They are all Discovery Channel videos and some original copies of the "Planet of the Apes" series. I brought them here for comparison."

Li Xiuxiu touched Shao Shuaijun's face and said distressedly: "My husband, it's so hard to be a director."

"My wife's distress, it's not bitter at all." Shao Shuaijun said with joy feeling Li Xiuxiu's gentleness.

Who knows that Li Xiuxiu's face changed, and she immediately hummed and said, "Since it's not hard, why don't these dirty clothes be sent to be washed, can't you afford housekeeping? Look at you, how long it took to come to the United States, it became like this It's sloppy. Did you know that at Oscar, your hair is like a long-haired bear, and your beard is not shaved clean, the whole world is watching, really. I leave you one step, you won’t take care of it Yourself!"

Shao Shuaijun said aggrieved: "My wife, calm down, I don't have time."

"Why is there no time? Is there no time to change clothes?"

"Well, my house is in a first-level security status, and no one is allowed to enter privately. The laundry staff here collects them once every two days. When I come, I often have to be busy filming and don't have time to let him take the clothes. , So, the more piles, the more."

"You, you!" Li Xiuxiu couldn't laugh or cry, "Forget it, I'll sort it out for you."

"Don't tidy it up, we will go to San Francisco when we get the things. There is a Taylor Swift concert in San Francisco tonight, and we happened to go to listen to it together. Don't you like her songs?"

"I like it, but she can listen to her songs anytime. Why don't we go to Silicon Valley to play it. Obvious, a subsidiary of Summit Entertainment, set up a research and development center in Silicon Valley not long ago to specialize in smartphone projects. I haven't found time yet. Let's inspect, shall we?"

"Hey, my wife, are you here for a date or to talk about work? Don't go to Silicon Valley, find a place to eat, then go to the hotel to open a room after dinner!" Shao Shuaijun made the decision and didn't care about Li Xiuxiu's objection. He pulled her into the car and asked the driver to drive to San Francisco’s Chinatown.

San Francisco’s Chinatown can be said to be the largest Chinatown in American cities. Shao Shuaijun has been famous for it for a long time, but he just doesn’t have time to play. Today, Li Xiuxiu came over and went to Chinatown together.

To go to Chinatown in San Francisco, you must pass through an archway. On the archway is Sun Yat-sen’s "The World

The four characters "Gong" and a few dragons around them are very vivid. After entering Chinatown, shop names and signs in both Chinese and English can be seen everywhere. After finding a parking lot and parking the car, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu walked the Chinatown arm in arm.

Several bodyguards guarded the surrounding vigilantly, allowing Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu to play with confidence.

The first Chinatown to visit is called Duban Street. There are many gift shops, antique shops, Chinese medicine shops, Chinese restaurants, and many signs with fellow villagers’ associations and so-and-so halls. The bustling streets seem to be Chinese streets. Of course, most of the Chinese speaking here are in Cantonese, which sounds weird.

Li Xiuxiu's interest in shopping has always been great. Shao Shuaijun feels bored, but he is not happy about Li Xiuxiu's interest. When Li Xiuxiu chooses goods, he stands in a daze.

I was panning all the time. At the beginning of the Hua Deng days, I ordered a few dishes at a Chinese restaurant on Stockton Street next door. While eating, chatting happily, talking about interesting events that happened during this time, or sketching the future.

The owner of the Chinese restaurant is a fat bald uncle. When he was serving dishes, he suddenly pointed to Shao Shuaijun.

Shao Shuaijun hurriedly made a silent gesture. The bald uncle knew it and asked quietly: "Can I sit down?"

"Okay."

The uncle smiled and rubbed his hands: "Hehe, hehe, hello Director Shao, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you coming to San Francisco with Mrs. Shao to play?"

"Yeah, I heard that Chinatown here is very famous, so I just come around."

"Oh, you are right here. The Chinatown in the world is the largest and the busiest in San Francisco. There are so many interesting places..." The uncle eloquently introduced that the rusher has come to urge several times, uncle bald. I waved his hand to let him go away. Later, I couldn’t help but said angrily, “Director Shao, can I ask you for an autograph? Me, my wife and my son all like to watch your movies, especially "Old "Boy," I shed tears."

"Yes." Shao Shuaijun did not refuse, "Where is the sign?"

"This... you eat slowly, I'll get paper and pens." The uncle ran away eagerly, and ran over again within a few minutes, "Just sign here, I like you so much. I will win honor to our Chinese. Kind of."

What the uncle brought was a poster of "Old Boy", which was the poster of Shao Shuaijun playing guitar and Huang Bo posing. The signature pen turned out to be a soft pen. Shao Shuaijun seldom writes by hand in recent years, and the pen writing is almost impossible to write. Unexpectedly, the boss gave a difficult soft pen.

She blinked her eyes and saw Li Xiuxiu snickering while covering her mouth. She knew that Shao Shuaijun's words were sloppy.

The uncle not only didn't realize Shao Shuaijun's embarrassment, but he said happily: "Director Shao, can you write ‘I wish Li Ji’s business is booming’?"

"Haha, of course." Shao Shuaijun was embarrassed, he was ashamed, and he wrote it out overnight. After signing the name, I took a closer look and found that although the writing was not good-looking, it was not ugly. It turned around and looked decent. I didn't expect to have not written for many years, and the words I wrote had improved.

"Hey, hey, director Shao's words are really good-looking, can you sign another one for my son? Just say,'Li Chunxin, study hard and make progress every day'?" The uncle finished speaking, and found out another poster, which turned out to be Master Liu's School floral poster.

"Um, isn't this supposed to be signed by Master Liu."

"It's okay, I have to direct you to Shao, your good, my son admires you." After signing, the uncle conjured up another poster, the group poster of "Old Boy", "This, this is for me. Wife, just write a few sentences, hehe."

Shao Shuaijun had no choice but to continue signing, and then put his pen up: "Is it all gone?"

"No, no, hey, Director Shao, we really like you! Just order tonight, I'll get free!" The bald uncle said arrogantly after getting the autograph.

"Haha, then we have to have a good meal, it hurts you uncle."

"Don't worry, you just eat with open arms and don't exaggerate the uncle. Director Shao and Mrs. Shao, you eat slowly, I won't bother you. I bother you so much. Eat and drink well."

"This uncle is really interesting..." Shao Shuaijun was just about to say a few words with emotion, raised his eyelids, and suddenly collapsed, because he signed the bald uncle, which attracted the attention of others in the hotel, and now he recognized that Shao Shuaijun is here. , They all smiled, holding paper and pens they got from nowhere, and gathered around.
