Chapter 364

It provides you with wonderful novels to read.

All the disputes about Oscar are about fame and fortune.

In addition, even the IRS intervened in the battle for fame and wealth of the Oscars. They wanted to draw taxes from the gift bags presented by the academy to the awarding guests.

since 1989, the Academy began to give gift bags to the Oscar guests, which has become an Oscar tradition. In addition to the winners, the awarders can also get a share to show their appreciation for attending the Oscars free of charge Thank you.

Under the commercial hype, this tradition has become a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars. In this year's Oscar gift bag, a bra and underpants inlaid with diamonds, a 22K gold leaf and a hammer made of crystal are worth nearly 100000 dollars, which is only part of the gift bag.

Although the contents of Oscar gift bags vary with the recipients, such as the gold and diamond underwear of "Victoria's Secret", which is worth 15000 US dollars, only the actress can get it.

In addition to the gifts for attending the awards ceremony, the Oscars also specially prepared gifts for the winners of the leading actor and director awards, which will be given after the awards ceremony. In the gift bag of this year's Oscar losers, there is a three-day free accommodation ticket for the Las Vegas high-class hotel to comfort the injured soul.

It's really enviable for Hollywood stars to participate in the awards ceremony with unlimited starlight and receive gifts at the same time, but the IRS has focused on it this year.

The day after the awards ceremony, the IRS said that the stars who received the Oscars must pay taxes for these gifts. Its spokesman said in a statement that when the global attention is focused on these stars, they should also know that they have the same tax liability as the general public, and hope that these stars can also pay taxes in the same way There is no way forward.

Only death and taxes are eternal.

In a tax resistant country, paying taxes is definitely a top-level problem. Although Murphy received the Oscar gift package and gave it to the driver who provided services for him, he still told the accountant not to forget the gift package when filing tax next month.

The reputation of the country of ten thousand taxes can be seen from this gift bag.

As the controversy over the Oscars gradually subsided, Murphy threw the little golden man into the safe and started his work again. This little golden man represents the past, not the future.

He needs to continue to work hard in the future.

Song of ice and fire: the late work of the game of power continues.

Before that, Murphy had already completed the initial cut of 10 episodes with Joel Griffith, and temporarily assigned the fine cutting work to the editing team. He went to Venice to supervise the special effects production in the digital field.

In the whole series, there are not many images generated by computer CGI effects. The three young dragons hatched by Denise tangorian in the last episode are undoubtedly the representatives.

This is also one of the two most important services in the field of game making: ice and fire.

According to Murphy's understanding, the dragon in the Western legend is a giant lizard with wings, or a dinosaur with wings.

Therefore, the special effects team, according to his requirements, initially designed the model with reference to quite a number of images of juvenile dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.

But this is only a reference. To make a memorable dragon, it is absolutely not enough to put a pair of wings on the dinosaur. It needs to determine its core and skeleton on the basis of reference.

Murphy just put forward the idea and the goal that should be achieved, and how to do it needs the careful elaboration of the professional team in the digital field.

The "carving" in the digital field is carried out from the inside out, first building the skeleton, then wrapping the muscle, and finally covering the skin.

Taking Murphy's dragon as a flying dinosaur as the core concept, they decided that the skeleton structure of the dragon design was similar to that of birds. Therefore, in order to build the original skeleton of the dragon, the special effects team found the "easiest bird to find", a chicken without hair.

This chicken that has lost its life has been endowed with important value.

The special effects team made a comprehensive scan of it, and then pasted controllers on key parts such as wings to track the dynamics of bones and muscles during movement. Then it changed into the muscle movement of a juvenile dragon during crawling in the special effects software.

The observant special effects artists also found that when the wings of a chicken are open, the skin at the junction with its body is almost transparent, so when the Dragon stretches its wings in the play, it is also treated as a translucent film.

This chicken without hair can provide the special effects engineers with the muscle and bone movement of the dragon, and the appearance of the dragon is a headache for the special effects team.

In fact, in order to make the fictional dragon more realistic in appearance, the special effects team studied more than 100 kinds of animals. Just to find suitable skin texture and scales for the "young dragon", the special effects team referred to more than 10 kinds of lizards.

And the dragon in the play is dynamic. When interacting with the outside world, the appearance changes also need to be dynamic. For example, the Dragon breaking out of the shell in the egg, the state of the droplets dropping along the scales, and the various colors and reflections of the dragon's eyes and skin in different light require the special effects teachers to achieve the authenticity of every small detail.To deal with the little lizard with wings, Murphy has assembled a special effects team of up to 25 people to make the title of the whole series. They need to deal with the design concept and the final effect as soon as possible.

"The beginning of the film is only 90 seconds, why not do something that can't be done in the positive film"

before the production, Murphy called all the producers together for a short meeting, "if it's done well, the audience will know the development of the role."

There are many things that can be done in the beginning of a TV play. In addition to bringing the audience into the plot, it can also tell the audience the information of time and space that they are about to see, and create their own world.

In the beginning, everything is very simple, no animation effect, are flat things.

The special effects design team came up with an original opening script as fast as possible. A crow flew from King's landing to winter's landing. But Murphy always felt that it would make the audience confused about the story in what kind of environment.

The special effects team also produced five maps, suggesting that these maps can be cut out as soon as the TV play changes places. It seems that the effect is very good, and it can clearly know where it is now, but it seriously interferes with the narrative of the drama.

This way of changing the map will cause extremely serious obstacles and interference to the narrative. Murphy simply asked to put the map in the title of the film to become a part of the title.

However, there will also be a problem. What else is beyond the map?

Murphy has been thinking that the crew has enough budget and excellent technicians. He can do what he wants and how to do it at this time.

his choice is to create the most complex and exquisite map that human beings can imagine.

These will form the beginning of the show.

It's not easy to make the most complex and exquisite maps. Murphy led the special effects team to make enough efforts from design to production.

The first is to create maps that act like real objects. With each map comes the family emblem of the controller.

According to Murphy's idea, Helena espora, the artistic director of the crew, referred to Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical design manuscripts. The design in the manuscripts has a kind of eternal beauty. The world in the TV series looks simple and unsophisticated, but there is also the complexity to make it vivid. The emblems of various families must not be the product of modern society, and the things in them should be wood It's made of metal, leather and cloth. It's all hand-made anyway.

What the crew should do is to look like real things, instead of making people feel like CG effect or the product of magic camera.

Murphy thinks that we should use the camera with motion control system to shoot the film title. The reason why we use the camera with motion control is mainly to make it look real.

Later, Murphy asked people to make a sketch of the Red Castle. The Red Castle is one of the main buildings in the city of King's landing. The special effects team made a template of the Red Castle on the CG board, and then showed it to Murphy.

Murphy was quite satisfied, and the team of 25 began to get into shape.

Secondly, we should be loyal to the original work to a certain extent.

up to now, Murphy has a map of westero and a hand-painted map of ursos, both of which are very good-looking. George Martin painted them by himself. The special effects team put these two maps into Photoshop and adjusted their sizes until they match each other.

The size of the map, the distribution of the locations and the boundaries are strictly in accordance with the original version of George Martin's map. Another key point is that Murphy works so hard to respect the original work, because he finds that since the project was established, after the vigorous publicity and hype of fox in the 20th century, like the Harry Potter series of that year, there are more and more fans of the song of ice and fire: the game of power.

It was not until April that the 90 second title was actually made.

In the beginning of the film, the astrolabe is constantly moving, moving around the hot center. The heraldry on the astrolabe shows the history of the story, lifelike.

Then, a complex map came into view, overlooking the whole map from the perspective of a regulator. With the rotation of gears, the city states of various countries emerged on the map. War and politics promoted the growth and change of these city states.

From the Red Castle in King's landing to the Shenmu forest in winter city, and then to the storm prone narrow sea, the 90 second film title will lead the audience to overlook the seven kingdoms from the air, which also contains a lot of information about the game of rights.

The first three episodes of "song of ice and fire": the game of power have been basically finished, and the following episodes have taken shape. However, Murphy is not in a hurry. TV series are different from movies after all, so we can wait for the audience's feedback before finishing the final work.

As winter approaches, Stanton studio and 20th century fox are stepping up their publicity campaign. It's not finished yet. For mobile phone users, please browse. Read for better reading experience.
