Jackie Chan has changed! "British Showdown" surpasses imagination to dominate the National Day file

1905 movie network news Directed by Martin Campbell and starring Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Liu Tao and Liang Peishi, the international action blockbuster is about to dominate the National Day file on September 30 and will land on the global screen one after another. Whether it is the cast or the behind-the-scenes team, the film has gathered the top figures in the Chinese and Western film industries. In addition, as the only Hollywood action blockbuster in this year’s National Day file, "Britain" has attracted much attention from all walks of life due to its excellent international top film texture. The following is a deep analysis of why "Britain" can arouse expectations from ten aspects.

Jackie Chan returns to Hollywood after seven years, shaking the world again after harvesting the golden statuette

Jackie Chan re-entered Hollywood in 1995 and created a Chinese legend by breaking multiple North American box office records. Over the next two decades, Jackie Chan’s films gradually became a popular global label and influenced filmmakers around the world. Many top international directors have looked to Jackie Chan’s films for inspiration. Many new generation of young actors also regard Jackie Chan as a role model and benchmark. In 2016, Jackie Chan won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement and became the first Chinese to win the award.

However, in 2010 and since then, Jackie Chan has filmed a number of Chinese-language films, but apart from the dubbing series, he has never starred in a real Hollywood international blockbuster. The movie "British Showdown" is Jackie Chan’s first international action masterpiece to return to Hollywood. At the same time, "British Showdown" is also Jackie Chan’s first Hollywood action blockbuster after winning the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Jackie Chan once said in an interview: "It’s not that I want to return to Hollywood now, it’s that Hollywood needs me." The outstanding artistic achievements and extraordinary international influence have made Jackie Chan movies synonymous with the best films in the eyes of global audiences.

2. British ace agent Brosnan joins to recreate the king of kung fu versus the king of agents

In the movie "British Showdown", the opponent of Jackie Chan’s decisive battle must also be able to match him. For this reason, director Martin Campbell chose Pierce Brosnan. The two established a good tacit understanding when they worked together, and have worked on many films since then. This time, the old partner has been restructured again for "British Showdown". For fans around the world, Brosnan’s name can be said to be well-heard. He succeeded Timothy Dutton as the fifth 007. With "Golden Eye", "Tomorrow’s Empire", "Black Sun Crisis" and four works, he has re-created a handsome and charming and masculine 007 image, which is recognized by fans as the most handsome 007 in history.

For most Chinese movie fans, understanding the classic secret agent image of 007 begins with Pierce Brosnan. The duel between Jackie Chan and Brosnan’s two characters in "British Showdown" is also a peak showdown between the "King of Kung Fu" in the East and the "King of Agents" in the West. The collaboration between the two international action stars is bound to collide with a particularly intense spark.

3. Save 007 for the second time and create a classic again, a Hollywood commercial film

Martin Campbell’s name may not be well known to domestic audiences, but his films have been very popular and left a deep imprint on the history of world cinema. In 1995, Martin Campbell collaborated with Pierce Brosnan for the first time. With "007: Golden Eye", it revolutionized the public’s impression of Bond, the king of British agents, creating the most popular 007 film in the history of the 007 series, and when the 007 series was once in the doldrums, it was rejuvenated. It was not until 2006 that Martin Campbell directed "007: Casino Royale", and Daniel Craig took over as the sixth 007, which revived the 007 series.

As the two-time gold medal director who saved the 007 series, Martin Campbell has gradually become widely recognized as "the master of Hollywood commercial films". In addition to the 007 series, he has assembled Anthony Banderas and Anthony Hopkins, two leading actors, to create two works and redefine the classic image of Zorro as a lone hero. Martin Campbell’s directing of "British Showdown" has given the film a stronger guarantee of quality and is bound to make the film called the next Hollywood classic.

4. National Muse Liu Tao made his debut in Hollywood, breaking through the image and pretending to be elderly makeup

"British Showdown" has released the movie promotion song "Ordinary People" sung by Jackie Chan and Liu Tao, which moved thousands of netizens with moving tunes and heartfelt lyrics. At the same time, this promotion song also revealed the tearjerking warmth of Jackie Chan and Liu Tao in "British Showdown". Since his debut, Liu Tao has created many popular roles, and the ever-changing image of Liu Tao has long been recognized by countless audiences. And "British Showdown" is Liu Tao’s first entry into Hollywood, which can be said to be an important step towards a new peak in her career.

In "The Battle of England", Liu Tao changed the image of the former Muse temperament and turned the creation upside down, playing a simple and ordinary middle-aged woman, trying to dress up in old age, looking haggard. Liu Tao once revealed in an interview: "This time the character has a lot of changes in image, from makeup to the overall look, the director dyed a lot of white hair for me, a lot of wrinkles and age spots, and tried to be close to the film character." For Liu Tao, this is a great challenge, and for Chinese audiences who know Liu Tao well, it will be a novel adventure.

5. Jackie Chan’s image deliberately grows old, challenging introverted revenge drama acting to re-create the peak

Jackie Chan has said many times that he hopes to play more of his favorite roles and try to shoot different types of movies, and the change of Jackie Chan in "British Showdown" is surprising. Jackie Chan’s role in "British Showdown" is Guan Yuming, an old man in his seventies. Therefore, in order to be more in line with the character’s setting, the director specially aged Jackie Chan’s appearance, and constantly told Jackie Chan to move as slowly as possible. FilmJackie Chan, whose face was wrinkled and scarred, caused countless audiences to feel distressed and applauded his attitude towards the performance.

In addition, Jackie Chan temporarily gave up his decades-old comic image in film, and instead created a sad character who is taciturn, has a rough life, and takes up arms to avenge his daughter. In his performance, he pays more attention to forbearance and rich layers of inner drama. This kind of Jackie Chan, for every audience, seems strange and full of freshness. Jackie Chan does not want to be bound by a specific style, and his performance in "British Showdown" is the best proof. Now 63 years old, Jackie Chan is still constantly breaking through himself and challenging new roles, so that audiences have to look forward to each of his works.

6. Jackie Chan innovates action dramas to break through impressions, and never forgets his original intention with his life

Jackie Chan made a subversive change in "British Showdown", personally participated in the action design in "British Showdown", establishing a new action style label for Jackie Chan movies. Although the film still retains the elements of action, it is different from the previous dragon-style playful kung fu. "British Showdown" pays more attention to the realism of action scenes, using a lot of hand-to-hand combat to constantly stimulate the audience’s senses.

However, due to Jackie Chan’s long-term filming of highly dangerous action scenes without the use of stuntmen, he was hospitalized for surgery due to severe muscle decay during the filming of the film. But after the doctor told him to stop filming martial arts scenes, Jackie Chan still focused on the filming of the film and continued to perform high-risk human stunts himself. Such a thrilling performance with personal risk continues Jackie Chan’s most admirable film spirit, and it is also Jackie Chan’s never-changing sincerity and hard work.

7. Assemble two classic magic actors to create an epic cast

In addition to Jackie Chan and Brosnan, the two heroes of the East and West, and the strong addition of the national Muse Liu Tao, the audience can also find more familiar faces in the "British Showdown". Liang Peishi made her debut as a Chinese student Zhang Qiu in the film, and then had an affectionate kiss with Harry Potter in the film. Her appearance also attracted more Chinese fans for the "Harry Potter" series. And Michael McElhatton played Luce Bolton in the TV drama. He looks mild-mannered, but he is ruthless and calculating. He killed the "young wolf master" Robb Stark at the red wedding. His powerful acting skills have won the admiration of thousands of audiences.

Liang Peishi and Michael McElhatton, two powerful actors from the two Western magic legends, joined the "British Showdown" to gather top actors from across Asia and Europe to create an epic all-star lineup, which undoubtedly guaranteed the film’s international quality and further upgraded the audience’s expectations for the film.

8. Hollywood’s top production, dedicated to creating the only international giant of the National Day file

In addition to the powerful epic cast of Jackie Chan, Brosnan, Liu Tao, Liang Peishi, etc., the behind-the-scenes team of Hollywood’s top configuration is also a major highlight of the film. There are both Hollywood gold director Martin Campbell and Hollywood photographer David Tattersall. He has shown superb photography standards in many Hollywood classics such as "David Tattersall".

In addition, "British Showdown" also brought together Peter Buchman and David Marconi, two of Hollywood’s top screenwriters, to jointly complete the screenwriting of the film. Peter Buchman served as the screenwriter, which brought this classic series of Hollywood commercial films that are well-known in the world to a perfect conclusion; David Marconi wrote the screenplay starring Will Smith, which earned more than 100 million dollars in global box office, and was also recognized by fans as a masterpiece. The collaboration of the two super writers makes "British Showdown" more guaranteed under the packaging of dazzling Hollywood commercial elements. The deep core of the story is even more guaranteed.

9. The panorama shows the British style, and the real scene blasting is shocked

In terms of filmmaking, "Britain" also shows the quality of top international blockbusters. The film was filmed in many places in London, and at the "Return to Hollywood" conference, it also showed a number of film shooting locations. The director once revealed that in order to truly show the British style, the crew had paid for London residents to temporarily move to hotels, and once again requisitioned civilian housing as a filming location.

For a large number of explosive scenes in the film, the director insisted on using real explosions to achieve the effect of shocking and magnificent scenes. For example, in the film, a double-decker bus suddenly exploded on the Rambeth Bridge next to the British Parliament Building, burning into the skyBlack smoke strewn across the Thames, and the visual effects of the grand scene were awe-inspiring. The crew submitted an application to the relevant authorities in advance to complete the shooting of the live blasting at the landmark London site, and the filming permission was not received until two months later. The director also broke the news: "The staff responsible for pressing the blasting button was on the bus at that time."

10. A perfect reproduction of the best-selling British novel, with a political conspiracy full of suspense

Adapted from the best-selling novel "The Chinaman" by British author Stephen Leather, "The British Showdown" tells the story of Guan Yuming (Jackie Chan, played), a small restaurant owner living in Chinatown, England, who is desperate because his daughter (Liang Peishi, played) is tragically killed in a terrorist attack, and the inaction of the relevant departments makes him even more angry. In order to get justice for his daughter, he refuses Lin Baoyi (Liu Tao, played) to keep him and embarks on a road of revenge against the terrorist organization. At this time, the appearance of the point person Hannes (Pierce Brosnan, played) uncovers a complex conspiracy…

This suspense-filled and gripping story has the support of a wide audience in itself, and it integrates rich elements such as politics, counter-terrorism, action, family love, and revenge. The movie "British Showdown" is also enough to feast the eyes of a wider audience.

It is reported that the film "The British Showdown" was produced by Beijing Yaolai Film and Culture Media Co., Ltd., STX Entertainment Company of the United States, and Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., directed by Martin Campbell, and starring Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Liu Tao, and Liang Peishi. As the only international action blockbuster during the National Day, on September 30, the movie "The British Showdown" will be fully launched and gradually land on the global screen for a shocking opening, so stay tuned!

In "The Wild Goose Lake", we saw the best Hu Ge!

1905 movie network news What exactly is an actor’s face? Is it because the character finds it? Or is it because of this face that a character doesn’t exist?

 

In 2018, Cai Mingliang shot a 78-minute film with 14 shots aimed at 13 faces. The faces of these ordinary people were quietly scrutinized by Cai Mingliang’s camera, with wrinkles and pores, telling the plain and dusty past. "Can we just gaze at the most subtle changes in life?" Cai Mingliang said about the film that only shot faces.

Diao Yinan felt the same way about the actor’s face. He wrote a story about a fugitive, about which he also imagined: "Animals at night, like in the jungle on the edge of the city, lurking or attacking at night, or evading hunters."Finally, the face became Hu Ge, and the character was called Zhou Zenong.


one


Before Zhou Zenong, Hu Ge didA handsome guy for over 20 years.When he was a child, he was a member of the Shanghai TV Station Xiaoying Star Art Troupe, and the middle school was the head of the Xuhui District Student Repertory Theatre Troupe. After that, he was admitted to the Shanghai Drama Academy naturally.His senior sister, Wan Qian, who was in the play, remembered when Hu Ge first started school:"When I first met him, he was a young man who was very handsome. He was also one of the most handsome guys in our school."Because he was handsome, Hu Ge got the chance to play Li Xiaoyao, the protagonist of "Legend of Immortals and Swords" in his junior year.


Hu was then classified as one of the earliest beneficiaries of typing among the young actors who startled him with China’s first Xianxia drama– – At that time, there were not many actors suitable for male leads in domestic costume dramas.



During that time, he played a lot of young heroes in ancient costumes who flew around, giggling and carefree. In "Legend of Immortal Sword and Flying Immortal" and "Flying Immortal Outside Heaven", he had similar hairstyles and played similar roles.


Until 2010’s "Myth", when he played the role of a general, he suddenly felt that if there were bangs, the role would not be valid. At Hu Ge’s own initiative, Qin Dynasty general Meng Yi became the first character of Hu Ge to show his whole face in ancient costumes.


A colleague of Hu Ge’s company once recalled this incident to the media:"Since he has already adjusted his mentality, why can’t I adjust my mentality, so I agreed to him."



After "Myth," Hu Ge deliberately avoided his familiar costume idol dramas. He got Chen Cong from "Bitter Coffee," then the Kangba man Tashi Pingtso from "Shangri-La," and then Xie Feifan, the head of the fashion group of "Modern New Humans."


Do everything, but don’t act in costume idol dramas.This was probably Hu Ge’s first attempt to step outside his comfort zone. But his most successful TV drama in those years was the ancient costume idol drama "Xuanyuan Sword" created by the Tang Dynasty.


Transformation sounds like a simple word.9 pinyin letters, 17 strokes. But achieving these two words has never been easy.

At an event, he met fellow actor Yan Ni, who then recommended him to the crew. In Yan Ni’s intuition, Hu Ge would not resist playing a sister-brother relationship with herself.


This time, by chance, Hu Ge found a door to knock again after shrinking back to "Xuanyuan Sword". This play he finally received that he wanted to play, the three satellite TV broadcasts once included the top three ratings at the same time, and the final audience ratings were all brokenOne percent.



And then, yeah.In 2015, "The Pretender", "Langya Bang" and "Good Times" were broadcast in three parts, including spy warfare in the Republic of China, ancient costumes, and urban idol emotions.


Hu Ge became the absolute brightest actor in the TV drama circle.But for actors, there is always a dream of starring in a movie of their own. Hu Ge has made many cameos, but he always seems to miss the lead role.Until, until Diao Yinan.


two

 Diao Yinan hesitated about choosing Hu Ge as the lead in her first film, but the producer Shen Qian persuaded him to meet Hu Ge. In Shen’s eyes, Hu Ge is like Abe Kuan and a bit like Zhongdai Daya. She sent a photo of Zhongdai Daya to Hu Ge and said that the older he gets, the more he looks like you.

 

At Shen Yan’s suggestion, Diao Yinan went to watch "Langya Ranking" and suddenly found the face of the fugitive from Hu Ge. In 2017, Diao Yinan met Hu Ge in Shanghai. The next day, Hu Ge rode his motorcycle to find Shen Yan to get the script. After reading it that day, he called Shen Yan and said:

 

"I’m very willing to join this movie."

What kind of movie is this? The first scene of the opening scene, in a cold rain, dim and ambiguous colors, Hu Ge appeared. His first scene was a close-up of that face.

 

With a snap, it was projected on the delicate and clear screen of the Lumière Hall of the Cannes Film Palace.

 

This face was thin and dark. It was completely different from those optimistic young heroes before.

 

Mr. Diao said he would not tell Mr. Hu that he had been given extensive close-ups during the shoot. He took pictures of Mr. Hu’s face because of its linear and expressive contours: "His face reminds me of an animal at night, especially his gaze and eyes."

Wan Qian remembered seeing Hu Ge in the crew once. There was no opposite scene between the two. That was when she left work and he finished work. Wan Qian found that Hu Ge had become completely different from "Hunting Ground". "Very thin. Black and thin, the whole person is very decadent."

 

This slump is the state Hu Ge found for Zhou Zenong. After joining the cast, he deliberately kept a certain distance from the other actors in the crew. "Maybe in my past personality life, I would quickly integrate with everyone and become one with each other. But in this drama, I made myself isolated," Hu Ge said.

He is indeed someone who is easy to make friends with others. Shen Qian talks about Hu Ge in life, and he is a person who gets along very well with non-professional actors.

 

The actors also met three weeks ago when the film was remastered at the film’s late-stage company on South Station Road. "It’s very interesting, it seems that the South Station has been moved to Shanghai again."

 

In addition to maintaining this isolation, he watched a large number of movies and books before filming began. Ryan Gosling’s "Drive to Death," Alain Delon’s. Diao Yinan let him watch Camus’s novel "The Outsider," and a large number of Antonioni movies.

 

The reason for watching these movies and books came from Hu Ge’s uncertainty about his performance. "I have a lot of concerns, because I may have acted in TV dramas before, and there will be more commercial ones. I’m very nervous, and I don’t know how to quickly adjust my state from the performance state of TV dramas to the state of movies."

Before filming, he went to Wuhan to experience life. In addition to learning Wuhan dialect, he also walked around the streets with his language teacher to observe the lives of the locals. The language teacher took him to the most ordinary streets. But this face, which used to appear on the screen for three quarters a year, and was broadcast on three TV stations at the same time, always had the possibility of being recognized.

 

Hu Ge thought of a way, he customized a few sets of cleaning workers’ clothes online, and printed four words on the back: Zenong Cleaning. As soon as the clothes were worn and the hat was worn, no one recognized it. "It’s very good, no one will pay attention to us." When talking about this matter, Hu Ge smiled.

three

These were all preparations for the character’s external image. But for the character’s heart, Hu Ge felt that he had never found a way.

 

After a month and a half of joining the group, he had been using his usual experience to build up his confidence, but suddenly realized that he was wrong. Diao Yinan saw the change in Hu Ge’s state, and when chatting with him, Hu Ge said that he felt that he was not fully integrated.

 

This chat made Hu Ge think about what kind of state he should be in in this movie where he starred for the first time. He thought that maybe he should keep both the good and the bad. This idea was approved by Diao Yinan. So Hu Ge slowly linked his true mentality to Zhou Zenong.

Hu Ge began to try not to sleep, trying to look a little tired and more haggard. For Zhou Zenong, he imagined the changes in his facial muscles caused by the haggard feeling when the fugitive had no food or water. This change, in Hu Ge’s view, was the effect of makeup.

 

85% of the scenes in "The Wild Goose Lake" are night scenes. The movie is a smooth shot, which helps the actors step into the character’s heart, but is a willful choice for the director.

 

Shooting in order, there will be a period of time without Hu Ge’s role. During this time, in addition to resting, Hu Ge relies on fitness to keep himself thin and at the same time maintain fatigue.

 

It’s not the first time he’s added a lot of design to his character. Before "The Wild Goose Lake," he had a cameo role as director Shunji Iwai.

For the role that didn’t have many scenes, he imagined the feeling of many characters and the rhythm of the performance. But when he came to the scene, he found that the director’s requirements were far from his own.

 

Speaking of this role again, Hu Ge said that making a movie made him realize that he needed to find a way to satisfy the director and return to expressing his role.

 

But "The Wild Goose Lake" is different. Hu describes the director’s torment as "boiling a frog in warm water." Television directors rarely demand that an actor’s breathing rise and fall or how often he blinks, but Diao asks him not to blink twice after turning the camera on Hu Ge.

 

"Did I think it was that much different at the time? But it’s really a different feeling! We sound like this subtlety is impossible for the audience to detect, but when the big screen amplifies the performance, that’s it." Hu Ge said that the TV series gave the audience 40 episodes, and the audience can slowly believe in the character. But the movie is only 2 hours long. How can the audience still resonate with the character’s experience on the blank screen after the end is really a challenge.

Gui Lunmei, who has worked with director Diao Yinan, also feels uneasy. But she thinks Hu Ge is a quiet and composed presence. "I’m lucky to have such an opponent, because sometimes when you meet some actors, he will interfere with your performance. But in addition to interpreting his own role, Hu Ge also gives us a lot of space, and the chemistry between the two of us is very comfortable." Of Hu Ge, Gui Lunmei said.

 

Recalling their collaboration with Hu Ge, Gui Lunmei felt that their rivalry scenes were slowly brewing. Speaking of being on the set, she suddenly realized that there was not much verbal discussion during filming, "But during the process, even I sometimes had some feelings that he was supporting me."

 

The most important scene between the two took place in a boat on the lake. That scene was difficult to shoot because there were too many uncontrollable factors on the lake. There needed to be waves, but the wind was fast and the waves were big, so the movie couldn’t be shot. Later, the wave boat was used, but as soon as the first shot started, the wave boat went too fast, and a big wave hit Hu Ge’s face. "I thought it was too absurd at the time," Hu Ge said.

Is jumping out of his familiar circle telling the audience that Hu Ge is also changing? When we threw this question to him, Hu Ge said that he was naturally hypocritical, or liked to toss.

 

He said that his toss is to see if he has more room. Because until now, he has not seen his end.


"Leslie Cheung Concert" Repair the beginning and end: Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab waiting for an opportunity

 

On April 1, Leslie Cheung’s last concert, which was also considered a "classic", "Passion" Ultra HD Repair, premiered globally on TME live, QQ Music, WeChat Channels, Tencent Video and other platforms.

The ultra-clear repair version of the concert by Tencent Music Entertainment Group and Universal Music’s record label Polygram jointly launched, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab undertook the specific repair work of the concert video.

 

Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is affiliated to Tencent CSIG Business Group (Cloud and Smart Industry Business Group). It has been engaged in video processing since 2013. One of its main responsibilities is to provide fully automated digital repair technology to various internal product departments, featuring low cost and high efficiency. Batch processing of 2D-based massive videos in Tencent Cloud and other systems.

 

According to reports, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is mostly engaged in the repair of movies, TV dramas and other scenes. The repair of concerts is the first time. The difficulty lies in the fact that portraits and scenes can change and switch rapidly in the concert lighting. However, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has previously accumulated less data in this regard.

 

Li Songnan, director of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab, told Dongxi Entertainment that this also gave Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab the opportunity to upgrade the system and algorithm of the repair technology by repairing this concert.

 

Li Songnan said that the goal of this restoration is to ensure that the repair is as old as the old, but also to preserve the artistic effect of the concert. Due to the many scenes of the concert screen and the complicated changes caused by frequent lighting and switching, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has adopted the measure of "algorithmic classification processing for different scenes" to find the optimal solution in the continuous trial and error, and at the same time add manual intervention to optimize the algorithm parameters.

 

The restoration of Leslie Cheung’s concert has further enriched the restoration category of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab. In view of the strong demand for the restoration of old films, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab plans to further connect its own technology with various demand parties, and use technology to achieve the goal of helping the inheritance of classic culture.

 

First attempt at concert repair

Automated digital repair + manual intervention combined

 

Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab expert researcher Xia Zhen told Dongxi Entertainment that the cooperation between Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab and Polygram began in early March.

"At that time, Tencent Music Entertainment Group contacted Polygold Records, and the two sides had their own needs, and the cooperation was reached very quickly."

 

Xia Zhen introduced that since the establishment of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab in 2013, one of the main technical directions has been fully automatic digital repair, but previously it was mainly engaged in the repair of movies, TV series, etc., and it was the first time to engage in the repair of concerts.

 

"Concert scenes are not as stable as movies and TV dramas, which are more uniform in terms of color and artistic style, and are more suitable for automatic repair through algorithms. The picture, color and scene of concerts are constantly changing and switching. Previously, the algorithm model of Tencent Cloud Lab did not process much data on concert scenes, so it would be difficult to automate repair based on algorithms," Xia Zhen said frankly.

 

In this regard, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is based on a set of automated processing engines.According to the different scenes of the concert screen, the algorithm classification processing is carried out to find the optimal solution in the continuous trial and error, and the manual intervention optimization is completed.

Xia Zhen gave an example. For example, for a large scene in a concert, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab used GAN superfractions to repair it. Before the repair, such large scenes were generally blurred, but after GAN superfractions, the clarity and texture were greatly optimized. For example, if there is a lot of noise in a concert, the technical team will also reduce the noise for this scene.

 

It is understood that pure algorithm repair usually takes only two days, but this time it is a concert, so more time is spent trying different algorithms to ensure that there is a balance between the results of the algorithm and the final effect.

This is also related to the overall goal set by Tencent Cloud Lab for this fix:That is to repair the old as the old, while ensuring the improvement of image quality, it can also retain the original artistic effect of the whole concert.

 

However, Xia Zhen also said that there is no standard in the industry to define the degree of repair, "I can only say that this is the goal or purpose, and then try to adjust the algorithm towards this goal, and then try to judge according to the degree visible to the naked eye."

 

"For example, the resolution of the master tape we got at that time was only 720 × 480, which was not high. But after the repair, the relevant image quality has indeed been greatly improved. We have achieved a resolution close to 4K, and the resolution has been increased by about 6 times. The smoothness of the whole picture has also been improved. We have also made some optimizations in the frame rate, including some details of Leslie Cheung’s face, as well as his eyes, eyes, and the long fake hair he wore throughout the concert. The hair is much better than before." Xia Zhen said.

 

 

Borrow the concert to repair

Realize the dual iteration of the original technical system + algorithm

 

Li Songnan said that by repairing Leslie Cheung’s concert, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has also undergone a relatively large number of technical iterations, mainly including system-level iterations and algorithm-level iterations.

 

The system-level iteration is mainly on the iteration of the analysis module.According to the introduction, in terms of the repair process, it is generally divided into four steps. One is intelligent analysis, which mainly analyzes the quality of the video, including the type and degree of distortion; the other is repair, which is mainly used to repair various distortions in the video, such as the distortion that often occurs in old movies, such as noise, interlaced distortion, etc.; the third is enhancement, the goal is to make the image content look clearer and richer; the fourth is coding, that is, to restore the content of the video at as little bit rate as possible.

 

The iteration of the analysis module is the first step in the repair workflow. Li Songnan said that since the algorithm of Tencent Cloud Lab has basically not touched the type of concerts before, the video content of various industries varies greatly, especially the type and intensity of video distortion in different generations are very different. "This requires the adaptability of the iterative analysis module, so that under the principle of minimizing manual intervention, the analysis module can adaptively handle different types of videos."

 

Algorithmic iteration mainly refers to video super-resolution and face repair.

 

Li Songnan said that the original work of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab was mainly video noise reduction and background enhancement, based on traditional algorithms.

 

"After that, many of the models on Tencent Cloud were based on AI and deep learning, but they were originally based on convolutional neural networks, and now they are expanded to use generative networks because generative networks can generate a lot of details," Li Songnan said.

 

Another major iteration is face repair.According to reports, the previous face repair in the industry was mainly based on pictures. The face repair in the video of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab was considered an innovative attempt in the industry. At the same time, with this concert starting to be based on video repair, the lab also began to make some artificial algorithm parameter adjustments based on the algorithm.

 

Li Songnan introduced: "During this research and development process, I tried some technical methods, accumulated some good results, and became a good experience in the laboratory. Of course, there is still room for progress in the future."

 

The market demand for old film restoration is increasing day by day

Technology empowered culture

 

According to official information, the Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is a technology-oriented laboratory under the Tencent CSIG business group, and its work mainly consists of two parts. First, it will participate in the formulation of international and domestic multimedia-related standards; second, it will provide the daily accumulated technology to Tencent Cloud, Tencent PCG (Tencent Platform and Content Business Group) and WXG (Tencent WeChat Business Group), and Tencent Music Entertainment Group and other departments internally, and export the technology to customers externally.

 

Li Songnan introduced,At present, the common "old film repair" in the market generally has two categories: physical repair and digital repair. Physical repair refers to the repair of film, including removing impurities on it and repairing deformation; while digital repair is divided into automatic repair and manual repair.

 

"At present, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab mainly focuses on fully automated repair based on machine learning and deep learning. The goal is to use algorithmic automation to reduce the cost of subsequent manual repair and improve related efficiency through less human intervention," Li Songnan said.

 

This path choice comes from the needs faced by Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab. "Since the user videos served by Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab are very large, it is impossible to do fine offline processing for each video, so it is necessary to continuously improve the adaptive ability of the algorithm to achieve the purpose of saving time and increasing efficiency."

 

Li Songnan, for example, for a two-hour concert, traditional manual repair may take one or two months. But from the perspective of algorithm repair, the result can be run in two days.

 

It is understood that the market demand for the restoration of old films is increasing, and many film studios and TV stations have accumulated a large number of old videos. Some of them plan to be re-released or need to be adapted to the current 4K or 8K TV. In addition, some entertainers also need to restore earlier concerts.

 

"The restoration of old films is a relatively long-term thing, and it can be done all the time," Mr. Li said. "The reason is that the quality of the videos that the audience sees now is not bad, and the quality may not be good in three or five years. At the same time, the viewing equipment is also being upgraded. For example, VR monitors and immersive displays will be used more and more in the future, and the update of the display method will accelerate the diversification of the demand for old film restoration technology."

 

Li Songnan stressed that the current video processing is mainly based on 2D video repair and enhancement, and in terms of resolution and frame rate, try to improve the user’s immersion in 2D conditions."But in terms of the future direction, it may also develop in a holographic way.3DAlso, including3Freedom, and finally6Degrees of freedom, the lab has invested in this. "

 

However, Li Songnan also pointed out that some voices have raised the question of whether the current video repair can be used in more social fields, such as optimizing surveillance video and cracking down on crimes. "Although the current technology can achieve face repair and face clearing, it is still difficult to apply in the actual security field. It is impossible to judge whether it is that person from the video. After all, it is generated by an algorithm, and it is not suitable to use it as evidence.

 

Li Songnan said that at present, as a technical department of the laboratory, more business goals are to cooperate with more partners with the ability of the laboratory’s ultra-clear immersion repair engine, while helping the development of the audio & video industry, empowering the classic culture through technology.

  But after watching the first season, there must be many viewers who are confused, and the first season finale also makes people feel very rushed. So let the editor help you sort out what pits were left in the first season of "Qingyu Nian"?

  First, Emperor Qing played a big game of chess

  Qing Di and Chen Pingping, two old foxes, had been standing at the top, planning the whole situation and letting everyone in. But in Fan Xian’s game of chess, Qing Di was a chess player, and everything was to get the secret of the temple from Sean’s mouth. On the way to send Sean off, Chen Pingping removed the black cavalry for this purpose.

  Unexpectedly, when Sean passed away, everything was under the control of Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping, just to make Sean mistakenly think that Fan Xian was his descendant, and to inform Fan Xian of the temple’s affairs unsuspecting.

  Second, Fan Xian is the son of Emperor Qing

  When Sean died, he told Fan Xian that Ye Qingmei had married the current Emperor Qing and had given birth to a child for him. This way, Fan Xian would know his background.

  Is Yan Bingyun Sean’s grandson?

  Was he Yan Ruohai’s son or Sean’s grandson? Back then, Chen Pingping did not kill Sean’s grandson. Instead, she gave him a glimmer of hope.

  Then would Yan Bingyun know his background? Where would he go?

  Third, why does the prince always show his reckless image?

  The friends watching "Qing Yu Nian" were all confused by the prince’s character, and their IQ was sometimes online and sometimes offline. Fan Ruoruo said that everyone in Kyoto knew that the prince was ignorant and acted recklessly, but was the truth really like this?

  If he was really as cowardly and incompetent as the rumors, why did the cunning Emperor Qing keep letting him sit in the position of the crown prince?

  Fifth, the second prince is actually the mastermind behind the scenes?

  He had originally thought that the Second Prince was here to make a joke, but he had not thought that he was hiding so deeply. It turned out that he was also the person behind the First Princess.

  Did Yan Bingyun kill Fan Xian?

  At the end of the first season, Yan Bingyun killed Fan Xian, but he didn’t expect Yan Bingyun to betray him? The male lead didn’t survive the first season. In the original novel, Yan Bingyun also joined Fan Xian’s subordinates.
