Chapter 183 Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle(2/2)
Meng Shu listened for a while, knocked on the door, walked in, and said hello to everyone.
Then he sat in the corner and watched everyone's first day of work with great interest.
She kept looking at Mr. Li, watching him practice his lines and record something in his notebook from time to time.
He looked very reliable, which really satisfied Meng Shu.
He also interrupts the practice from time to time to remind him what tone should be used for this line and what tone should be used for that line.
As an experienced stage play director, even if he has never directed the horror genre, his ability in the context of lines can be seen.
The actors did not show any irritability or impatience, but kept changing according to Mr. Li's reminder in order to achieve the best effect.
Soon, after a morning of simple practice, everyone was almost familiar with the lines.
In the afternoon, Meng Shu took them into the animal capture room.
But as the actual rehearsals progressed, problems began to arise frequently.
One of them is that the actors play monsters for the first time.
Without experience, they have no idea how monsters attack and move.
So Meng Shu spent a lot of time on action guidance.
Then, the actors don't know how to express the weird and twisted horror through body movements.
Regarding this point, Meng Shu personally demonstrated on the stage.
In the original world, there was a kind of stand-up movement that was widely spread in the dance circle, called "zombie stand-up".
The main imitation is the zombies with twisted limbs and weird movements in the movie "Train to Busan".
This set of movements means that a person lying on the ground can achieve a perfect stand up by exerting force on the waist and twisting the body without relying on his hands and feet.
In the eyes of others, this rising action is like a corpse being suddenly pulled upright by a mysterious force, which is so breathtaking.
When you put it on a zombie, a sense of terror and crisis will come to you instantly.
And the stiff joint movement after standing up can also reflect the sense of "this is definitely not a human being".
Therefore, if this set of actions is used on the corpse, and combined with the already terrifying appearance, the effect will definitely be outstanding.
So Meng Shu showed the 'zombie getting up' and 'stiff movement' on the spot to tell the motion capture actors that these were the monster's basic movements.
Since this way of getting up was unheard of, everyone at the scene was stunned. It seemed to them that a new world had opened. They were stunned.
Some people even exclaimed on the spot: Can you still get up like this!?
Even Mr. Li couldn't help but sigh that the idea of getting up and moving stiffly was so interesting. He claimed that, let alone a monster, even if it were done by a human being, the horror would still not diminish.
After that, there was a lot of practice. After Meng Shu demonstrated it himself, the motion capture actors began to learn.
And after guiding for a while, he was not idle. He returned to his office and began to focus on developing the trial version of "Dead Space".
As the days passed, the busy Meng Shu basically rushed back and forth between the motion capture room, the office and home, day and night.
I even slept in the office until dawn a few times.
Fortunately, the efforts were not in vain. After two weeks and long rehearsals, the actors were already very familiar with the content of the stage play.
The sound effects department also found a well-known children's song with a melody very similar to "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle", "Star Shine"!
This is a children's song from Russia. It was translated in China and included in primary school music textbooks. It is also a must-learn song in music classes.
Therefore, this song is very popular and well-known.
After listening to it himself, Meng Shu couldn't help but sigh that the two songs were 60% similar.
Although the lyrics and part of the accompaniment are different, the difference is obvious.
But the childhood filter and popularity that this song should have can perfectly replace "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle".
So Meng Shu did not hesitate to ask the person in charge of the sound effects department to contact the copyright owner of the song and buy the right to use it.
In addition, Meng Shu’s 30-minute trial version was also temporarily produced.
Now, it is already June 9th.
It's time to leave for America.
This chapter has deleted a lot of boring dialogue and music-making plot. I have no choice but to get off work at 10 o'clock for several days in a row. The pace is already very slow. I can only put a few chapters together to improve the pace. I have been really busy recently.
, it’s almost the end of the year. Sorry!
Chapter completed!
