Chapter 300: Confidence
The shooting in the studio is actually very monotonous, and the scene of the Snow Country War was filmed for two days, in which the scenes between him and Xie Qiwang were separated, at most they were playing with each other.
In the past two days, King Xie has really been tossed enough. A shot, even an action, a line, is often accompanied by countless NGs. In the words of the director, this is stereotyped, Xie forced Wang to stereotype the character of Duke Wuhuan through his performance, and his future performances will follow this path.
The scenes in these two days are mainly based on Xie Qiwang, He Xin does not have many scenes, and there are only a few separate scenes, most of the time he is watching and feeling the director's style. Either they help set up a scene or serve as a human flesh set with hundreds of group performers on the scene.
There is only one shot, when he was wrapped in a black feather robe by Xie Qiwang casting a spell, because of the need for post-special effects, he was shirtless, and his body was covered with that kind of green oil paint, but this oil paint was not breathable on his body, it was particularly uncomfortable, and it was very difficult to wash afterwards, and he almost rubbed off the skin.
He Xin looked at the effect of his freshly applied makeup in the mirror, his face was covered with miserable white oil paint, scarlet lips, and dark circles similar to smoky makeup, much like the shape of a clown in a stage play.
In fact, the ghost wolf he plays is a clown, a clown who is greedy for life and afraid of death and betrays his clansmen, and is willing to crawl at the feet of Duke Wuhuan of the North to act as a clown for his slaves. The only difference from the clown is the addition of a red, speckled and hideous scar on the right side of his face.
The costume on his body was more like that of a wizard, with a black hat and a black veil hanging from the brim that covered the mottled scar on the right side of his face. The most distinctive thing is the black feather robe on his body, and the feathers on it are real feathers.
When this robe was just delivered yesterday, He Xin also curiously touched and observed it carefully, it is not like chicken feathers, duck feathers and the like, it is said to be a certain kind of poultry feathers, which are specially made in Japan. And the cost of such a feather robe is as high as a staggering more than 200,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of the latest Guangben, so he has to be extra careful when wearing this feather robe.
His hybrid look of a wizard and a clown comes from the original crew's costume art designer, Masako Koya, and is said to be a blend of Western magicalism and Eastern culture.
Looking at his weird and strange appearance in the mirror, he couldn't say anything good or bad, but he felt that his little heart was a little destroyed.
Look at the people, either the flower armor is extremely stylish, or the jade tree is in the wind or beautiful and moving, even Zhang Dongjian, who is also a slave, although he is dressed as a beggar, but at least that handsome face is normal.
However, it is not bad to maintain such a mentality, although the ghost wolf is strong in martial arts and does not blink an eye when killing, but his heart is always burdened with the self-blame and shadow of betraying his clan, so when he faces Zhang Dongjian, who is also from the Snow Country, his expression is always full of pain and sadness.
When he arrived in the shed, Zhang Dongjian arrived early, holding the script and reciting words, followed by a translator and Chinese teacher.
Seeing him coming, Zhang Dongjian hurriedly got up and bowed to him, and shouted in an extremely stiff Chinese: "He...... New, hello!"
He Xin also hurriedly bowed back to him, "Hello!"
To be honest, he really didn't quite adapt to the red tape of Koreans, and he didn't know if they Koreans were like this in their own country, or if they came to China to deliberately behave like this.
In the next few days, the filming will be the rivalry between the two of them, as for the classmate Xiao Xie, after being devastated for two days, it is said that he flew back to Hong Kong overnight last night, rested for about ten days, and then went directly to Hengdian with Zhang Baiju to meet the crew.
Although the two have not worked together in the past two days, Zhang Dongjian insists on coming to the scene every day to observe, and the two of them are practicing walking and hanging tightropes this morning, which can be regarded as familiar.
Speaking of hanging the wire, he is not like Zhang Dongjian, a long-established actor like Zhang Dongjian, who can move freely on the wire, but he has never filmed an action scene before, nor has he tried this thing. At the beginning, he was hoisted into the air by the steel wire, and he couldn't do all the various flowing movements that he had designed before.
This surprised the action director Lin Di'an, it is really rare to meet an actor who has never played Wia. However, the temporary sharpening of the knife is not fast and light, but fortunately, his physical class has not been pulled down in the past few years, and the flexibility of the body is better, and the comprehension is also relatively strong, and he learns quite quickly.
In fact, hanging the wire is a bit like learning to skate or ride a bicycle, as long as you master the balance you can move freely, the only thing that makes him uncomfortable is the cow belt tied between the legs.
After greeting him, Zhang Dongjian said bluntly: "Congratulations...... New, you...... I ......"
The Chinese of this goods is really worrying, and I can't say a complete sentence at all, and while speaking, I pointed to the script.
This He Xin roughly understood, so he said, "You mean that the two of us will pair words first?"
He couldn't understand this, so the translator next to him quickly read it for him.
Zhang Dongjian laughed at this time, nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes......"
And then another Smecta or something like that.
"Dongjian said thank you, it's too troublesome for you!"
"It's okay, this was originally our rivalry, and the words should be divided. ”
He Xin can only communicate with him through an interpreter.
After Zhang Dongjian listened, he bowed and thanked him again, and He Xin could only bow again in response.
After a long time, the two began to face each other.
Today's rivalry between the two is not like the various fragmentary shots that he and Xie Qiwang shot separately before, but a real face-to-face rivalry.
"Just now I saw my mom and a little girl...... Who is she? What is this place?"
Hey?
As soon as Zhang Dongjian spoke, He Xin was inevitably a little surprised, although his accent was still stiff, it was a complete Chinese line.
Of course, the look of surprise only flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly continued: "This is your hometown Snow Country! I can only save you by traveling through time to bring you here......
The words are not just for everyone to read their respective lines, but to give them a lot of emotion just like a performance. When He Xin read the lines, there was always a hint of sadness on his face.
But Zhang Dongjian was obviously more involved than him, and when he asked, "Snow Country, what's wrong?", He Xin clearly saw that Zhang Dongjian's whole person began to tremble slightly, and even tears rolled in his eyes.
The reason why He Xin doesn't like to watch Japanese and Korean films, although he just doesn't like it, to a large extent, he still feels that their performances always seem to be exaggerated, which may have something to do with their national characteristics, maybe they are like this in life. He just couldn't quite accept this foreign cultural trait.
But their over-the-top performance is a perfect match for this play in the style of Shakespeare's stage plays.
He Xin looked at him crying, his heart was a little hairy, and he hurriedly showed a sad look and said: "This is the snow country after you were abducted and sold into slavery when you were two years old, that little girl is your sister, and now everything does not exist......"
There aren't many lines, but they are accompanied by flying around, running, jumping, and other actions, and Snowpiercers are born to run, even fast enough to travel through time and space.
The two repeatedly read the lines several times, although Zhang Dongjian's Chinese lines are not very fluent, but both are experienced actors, and soon the steps of the two sides reached the same point.
Although the director agreed that they should use their own language during filming and then use dubbing in post-production, Zhang Dongjian was worried that he would not be able to make an accurate mouth when he dubbed it, so he insisted on using Chinese.
It's just that he is still in the process of learning Chinese, so he memorizes the pronunciation of the Chinese lines that need to be said through the translator, and then reads them over and over again. This is a bit like Li Jiaxin's operation when she was filming in order to be able to say standard Mandarin lines, but Zhang Dongjian is obviously much more difficult, after all, one at least knows Chinese, and the other does not even know words, just pronunciation.
While the two were talking, the crew was still busy preparing, and Peter Cannon and his assistant were whispering while fiddling with the camera angle on the big jib.
He Xin has also seen this kind of shooting with a big rocker arm, Lou Ye used this shooting technique to shoot large panoramas when he was shooting, but most of the shooting will use shoulder-mounted, handheld, tripod, rails and the like.
It was the first time he had experienced the scene of the big swingarm dangling in the studio all the time, after all, this kind of thing was expensive, and the photographer who operated it had to have extremely high shooting skills, otherwise he would not know where the lens was dangling.
Everything was ready, only to see Chen Dadao shout at the two people who were still gesturing: "How is it, is it okay?"
"It's okay, director!" He Xin responded.
Zhang Dongjian couldn't speak, so he could only bow to the director from afar, but his face was still full of confidence.
This is the first shot he took after joining the group.
The goods ran to the designated position and lay down on the salt-covered ground, but Director Chen was not very satisfied with his posture, and asked the executive director to help him adjust his posture through the walkie-talkie, roughly his legs were naturally separated, his arms were also open, and he was lying on his back with his eyes closed, much like that kind of sage time.
He Xin stood about twenty meters away from him, looking proud in the snow.
"Alright, everyone is in place!"
“Action!”
