Chapter Ninety-Five Has Started

  Lucas looked at the canvas in front of him and felt a little curious.

  Catherine's requirement for the backdrop is that it must be realistic, and there can't be any mistakes or anything out of place. She has very high standards in this regard.

  So at least from a visual perspective, these sets are extremely elaborate.

  "It's really uncomfortable..."

  Catherine walked out of the dressing room, while Elsa was beside her.

  Ever since she returned to the United States, Elsa has also been her personal maid, Catherine had long been accustomed to Elsa's daily care of herself, and for Catherine, there was nothing more wonderful than this.

  "Uh..."

  Lucas was startled by Catherine's appearance.

  As a result of signing with DreamWorks, Lucas got the opportunity to enter the scene, in fact, Catherine also attaches great importance to each other.

  After all, the other side's "Star Wars" is also slightly higher in gold content than their own "Wasteland".

  It seems that Lucas considers himself a "golden boy" who needs to be nurtured at all costs. Of course, Catherine also needs to prevent some things from happening.

  "It feels really strange. But can only endure it."

  She was wearing a blue tight-fitting suit made of latex, which covered her entire face and then inserted into her mouth, no choice, this is the need for acting.

  At the time of Wasteland, Catherine had wanted to make a guest appearance, but never had the opportunity.

  But now she has found an opportunity.

  Catherine plays an artificial intelligence "Elizabeth" who appears at the beginning of the film, assigning tasks and analyzing problems for the main character's squad.

  Moreover, this figure is very special - she is a 3D semi-transparent projection.

  How can we achieve a semi-transparent effect?

  The answer is simple: Catherine's killer punch —

  Processing on film.

  During actual filming, the actors played against a real-life "Elizabeth" portrayed by Catherine. However, there were no special effects at this time. At the same time, each frame of background used in shooting had to be shot separately and used in post-production.

  After the film is shot, it will be sent to the special effects production department. The film will be produced in a normal way. In this ordinary edited film, the actors are also facing real people, and there is no special effect at all.

  Then comes the main event. That is to use special effects to make Elizabeth semi-transparent.

  At this point, it is necessary to browse through each frame and project the image of Elizabeth played by Catherine onto a clear plastic sheet (i.e. celluloid). Then, draw the outline of Elizabeth on the celluloid. Next, the artist colors - this is easy, just pull out a few people from the production team of the animated version of "Harry Potter".

  Then they added outlines and a semi-transparent effect - remember the background that was shot separately? That's what it is. Finally, there were a bunch of celluloid sheets, each corresponding to a frame from the movie with Elizabeth in it. The celluloid sheets were crystal clear everywhere except where Elizabeth appeared in each frame.

  In the processed film, each animation cel of Elizabeth is placed on a black background and photographed with a diffused light source on the camera lens (which generates a halo around her). If this film were to be played back in a projector, all the audience would see is Elizabeth moving against a black background. The real-world footage will then be double-exposed onto the same strip of film. This results in a semi-transparent 3D Elizabeth floating in mid-air!

  This approach is absolutely Catherine's original creation.

  Such a method can at least achieve the special effects of the 1990s, and if the artist's skills are good, it can be even more realistic.

  Its only drawback is that it costs too much.

  Catherine invested a whopping $25 million in this film, although the sets are not as grand as those in "Wasteland", but such special effects are absolutely unmatched by "Wasteland".

  Although Catherine's appearance is only about 10 minutes, the number of frames to be shot is as high as 15,000 to 20,000. Moreover, in actual photography, the captured images can only be more and not less.

  The cost of lighting alone has reached tens of millions, and even close to hundreds of millions in budget.

  Moreover, there are many props inside, all of which require delicate design.

  And Catherine this time still uses the panoramic film shooting method and 70mm film, which can be said to be "high-end goods" in this era. The equipment used by Catherine alone for filming is enough to make many people jealous.

  Catherine believes in Cara Santoro's strength, his "Garrison Daredevils" has influenced a whole generation... whether Americans or Chinese.

  "Don't be nervous, when acting, just pretend you're that person in the story..."

  On the other side, Bruce Lee was also telling Sylvester Stallone about some of his experiences and techniques.

  Said Li Xiaolong, Catherine has also signed a long-term contract with the other party.

  And to avoid the occurrence of historical events, Catherine also equipped Bruce Lee with a special medical team, which is responsible for making reasonable arrangements for Bruce Lee's training in peacetime to avoid overwork. In the analysis of Bruce Lee's cause of death by later generations, a large part of it was because of this reason. Another reason is that Bruce Lee was allergic to antibiotics, but with his own medical team, everything would be much easier.

  Of course, it is said that there is another reason, a reason that has been giving Catherine a headache... the Hong Kong Triad...

  Uh... Catherine hated these underworld things the most... Maybe she could let her own umbrella go to Hong Kong in the future and wipe out all those black paths?

  Okay, Catherine knew her idea was a bit absurd.

  However, Bruce Lee was her lifesaver after all, and for now, this is all Catherine can do for him.

  Catherine still wanted to make a film with Bruce Lee as the main character, rather than the second lead.

  Unfortunately, this matter may be a bit uncertain now, and it will probably take two or three years for things to get better.

  After all, Bruce Lee is a yellow race person. For a colored person to make a name for himself in Hollywood, he must work several times harder than ordinary people. Even Bruce Lee, who may appear in the future "Green Hornet", is only the second leading actor, and when he was in Hollywood, he was either a killer or a villain.

  He also spent a lot of time and stepped up step by step.

  "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, take your seats!"

  Karasanto walked out.

  Catherine's "Red Alert" is finally going to start filming.
