"Jingcheng No. 81 2" launches Chinese thriller 3.0 mode, and the VR experience is in depth in the movie for the first time

Recently, the most powerful thriller IP in China, produced by famous director Chen Jiashang and starred by Zhang Zhilin, Mei Ting, Zhong Xintong, Geng Le and others, released the first trailer poster for the "Underground Palace Surprise" version of the blockbuster material, making the long-awaited mysterious underground palace scene No. 81 exposed for the first time. This trailer uses naked-eye 3D format, giving every thrilling scene a realistic feeling. Since "Jingcheng 81" launched the 3D era of domestic thrillers three years ago, the "Jingcheng" series IP has continued to subvert the audience's inherent stereotypes about domestic horror films at the visual effects technology level. This time, in "Jingcheng 81 2", it boldly challenged VR off-site short films, setting a precedent in China. Recently, the film company exclusively exposed panoramic stills of VR off-site short films.

The light and shadow effects are unique. 360-degree no-dead-corner thriller

VR technology is used in thriller movies. The most important thing is to bring viewers 360-degree no-dead-corner horror pictures and the ultimate immersive experience. For panoramic shooting, there are large restrictions on the layout of lights and the control of brightness. How to reproduce delicate pictures in a low-light environment in movies has become an important problem in VR implementation. This VR short film innovatively uses a high-sensitivity mode to shoot, which not only captures a large number of dark and bright details, but also effectively improves the tolerance of the picture and greatly enriches the overall texture of the picture. In the "Jingcheng No. 81" building set, which was rebuilt at a ratio of 1:1 to the original site, in addition to the basic ambient light achieved by a large curtain at the top, a large number of small-area planar light sources are used in other places. Through this carefully designed lighting layout techniques achieve the contrast between warm and cold light areas, and successfully create a suffocating and terrifying atmosphere for the underground palace scene.

VR is a 360-degree panoramic shooting, and everything around it can be seen by the audience. Therefore, there are also a large number of scenes that require three-dimensional reconstruction in later work. The top technical teams from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places invited by "Jingcheng No. 2" have specially developed new post-stage software adapted to VR. They not only successfully restored the overall scene, but also cleverly overcome how to accurately match the green screen image under panoramic shooting. The problem of matching achieves a perfect unity of the distortion and color texture of the picture. It was the bold and meticulous color matching efforts of the later team that made the overall color and clothing style of the final VR film complement each other and make it unforgettable.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that in order to increase immersion, there is a scene in which Zhong Xintong and Mei Ting appear simultaneously in the first person perspective. Mei Ting and Zhong Xintong cannot be present at the same time when the scene is filmed. The final film was composed in three shots. First, Zhong Xintong's dialogue was filmed, then three cameras were used to shoot Mei Ting's mirror reflection, and then the person who saw herself from Mei Ting's perspective in the lower part of the panoramic picture was taken. The two men's lines were accurately arranged in the later stage, and the rhythm was tightly connected, leaving no trace after synthesis.

Judging from the two VR stills exposed this time, the panoramic picture well highlights the depth of scene No. 81. It is reported that the VR short film "Jingcheng 81 2" will be released online before the movie's release on July 6. When the movie is released, the interactive positions of major domestic cinemas and the online and offline channels of Damai VR will be open to experience at the same time. A VR interactive game will also be launched at that time, supporting VR video streaming under Android and IOS and live broadcast protocols.
