The movie "Fengshen I" releases special props and physical visual effects make Chinese mythology more real.

The national mythological epic "Fengshen I" is being well received, with a newly released special props special, focusing on the exploration and challenge of the creative team in the lack of physical visual effects in China's film industry at this stage. Whether it is in line with the Chinese classic aesthetic ink Kylin, Lei Zhenzi image, or baby Lei Zhenzi, Bigan heart of the special props, are an eye-opener to the audience. Directed by Urshan, the film stars Fei Xiang, Li Xuejian, Huang Bo, Yu Shi, Chen Muchi, Na ran, this Sha, Wu Yafan, Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, Wang Luoyong, Hou Wenyuan, Huang Xiyan, Li Shirui, Yang Jie and Chen Kun, and enters the cinema to witness the rise of Chinese mythology.

based on the design of Chinese classical aesthetics, the image of strange beast ink Kirin scales and Lei Zhenzi's fleshy wings are revealed

The newly released special props show the creation and presentation of the physical visual effects of the film Fengshen I. Director Wuershan appeared in the special, saying: "We have done many tests and studies, both in terms of aesthetic form and in terms of the degree of realism." The concept designer Siji and his team spent about two years designing more than 80 characters and making more than 100 sculptures, among which the design and production of fantasy creatures are very complicated. For example, Wen Taishi's mount Moqilin. Chinese people are very familiar with the image characteristics of Kirin with antlers, faucets, scales and cow hooves, but it is not easy to change from a familiar plane image to a three-dimensional, dynamic digital creature in the film. The difficulty of its design is not only to maintain the aesthetic effect of Chinese traditional modeling, but also to conform to biology, so that the audience can believe that it is a real creature. Starting from the details, the conceptual design team separately designed and produced each scale of the ink Kylin at 1:1, adding to the real credibility of the ink Kylin.

As the most important digital character in the Fengshen Trilogy, Lei Zhenzi has the same rich emotions and complex performances as human beings. the difficulty of his image design is to find strangeness from the characters familiar to the audience. According to the novel Romance of the Deity, the description of Lei Zhenzi's appearance "can be weird, with green hair and red hair, upper and lower fangs, and fleshy wings on both sides." the conceptual design team found a breakthrough in its "meat wing" and got design inspiration from the marine swordfish or Douyu's fins. Siji, a conceptual designer for characters and beasts, said: "the long fins floating in the water are very consistent with the beautiful and immortal feeling of the Kunlun system." Through ultra-high design accuracy and proportional visual effect reference, the conceptual design team provides an important basis for the work of the visual effects department, so that the fantasy characters and creatures in the world can be presented more realistically and stereoscopically on the big screen.

Cross-border creators break through to create special props Lei Zhenzi Baby and Bigan Heart has a realistic effect

The film "Fengshen I" presents many classic plots such as Ji Chang's adoption of Lei Zhenzi and Bigan's heart. The special props reveal the special props of Lei Zhenzi's baby and Bigan's heart. Chinese films have developed by leaps and bounds from no special effects to full CG special effects, lacking the link of physical visual effects. Director Wu Ershan said: "We have artists, scientists and computer engineers in China, but there is only a lack of cross-border creators who combine these fields. This may be a combination of cross-border talents that are scarce in our entire Chinese film industry."

The special props of Lei Zhenzi's baby is a cross-border work that has made an innovative breakthrough. First, the artist creates the image of Lei Zhenzi's baby, then the mechanical structure of his limbs and facial expressions is designed by the mechanical artist. Finally, three puppet controllers work together to complete the performance. Zhang Sui, deputy director of special props / mechanical devices, revealed that the size and weight of Lei Zhenzi's special props need to be close to the real baby, and complex electro-mechanical parts should be installed in a very small internal space. so that its head, arms, feet, eyebrows, cheeks, corners of the mouth, lips can not only move, but also can be controlled separately. With the cooperation of the puppet control team, Lei Zhenzi babies can complete facial expressions such as crying, laughing, opening their mouths, stretching their hands and legs, and even blinking, rolling their eyes, frowning and other subtle expressions. At the scene of the shoot, Li Xuejian, who plays Xibo Hou Jichang, and Huang Bo, who plays Jiang Ziya, both praised Lei Zhenzi's "acting skills" and had a more sense of substitution in the performance.

In addition, the special props of the Bigan heart are equipped with batteries and control buttons, which can adjust the beating frequency, and the real situation is of great help to the actors. The special props production team strives to be the ultimate in every detail, which can not only help actors perform better, but also bring more realistic visual effects to the audience. With such ingenuity and sincerity, I believe the audience can really feel it at every moment in the process of watching the movie.
