Chapter 486: "Atonement" starts filming
The filming location of the first act was in a clear bar in the city, and when Lu Ze and the two got out of the car, there were already many people around watching, even if they didn't see the stars, only one truck after another unloaded the props needed for filming, which had already attracted a lot of good people to record small videos.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they were attracted by the Pagani Wind Son driven by the Fatini on the side of the road.
Even though Italy is the hometown of the top sports cars, and the cars in Europe are much cheaper than those in China, this kind of top brand sports cars are not consumed by ordinary people, and even like the Chinese people, they will feel fresh when they see one.
After saying hello to the staff, the two walked down the steps to the inside of the bar on the basement floor, where Fatini sat on a chair and watched calmly, without speaking, and the staff carrying the equipment couldn't help but walk a little faster.
The overhead fan is blowing, and the circulating air is working, but even so, the heat generated by the shooting equipment keeps the temperature in the entire space not low, and it is basically the same as the outside.
"Dude, tie up the thread over here, it's too messy. β
All kinds of wires are laid together under his feet, and he is a little stumbling when he walks, Fatini sat in front with his back and didn't find this problem, and after hearing Lu Ze's greeting, he turned his head and beckoned to the two, and by the way, he went into the bar and took out a cup and poured a cup of coffee for the two.
"Didn't you say you were on time, why did you come early?"
"You said that, doesn't it make me look too lazy if I don't come again? Not only me, but they also came, before I came, and it was said that they came here at eight o'clock to memorize the lines. β
In the face of Lu Ze's ridicule, Fatini didn't fight back, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the corner of the bar, behind a few flight boxes, sure enough, a few people lowered their heads and muttered something.
"I think you're putting too much pressure on them, will it have any negative effects?"
Seeing that the actors were stunned, Lucas clicked his lips and asked Lu Ze questions, although he did not participate in the script workshop, he didn't hear from Fatini's mouth how Lu Ze destroyed these poor children.
"No, if they can't bear this pressure, then they should not film, everyone will encounter a situation where the actors in the opposite play are stronger than themselves, including me, who have also been pressed by others, but this is not a reason to back down. β
Lighting a cigarette, Lu Ze leaned his back against the bar, and answered Lucas's question with a very serious expression, when he first debuted, he was also pressed by many big names, maybe the pressure brought to him by those big names was not as great as the pressure he put on these actors, but for Lu Ze, it was no different, even if the result of being compared was doomed, it was two different things to escape or face the battle head-on, what kind of people he admired, it goes without saying.
"You're really strict, you can't understand your actors' set, forget it, I'll go check the equipment. β
Lucas didn't sit for long, dried his coffee in one go, and got up to calculate the angle of the equipment, after all, no matter how perfect the design drawings are, they are only on paper, and when the shooting really starts, there will definitely be some bugs that he needs to solve.
On the other hand, the actors also seemed to see Lu Ze's arrival, but for some reason, they didn't get up and come over to say hello as soon as possible, but danced more magically, chanting lines with their movements.
This slightly childish behavior was also funny, Lu Ze just showed a smile, and did not reach out to say hello to let them know that he had found them.
"Or do you put on makeup first?"
Fadini reminded him on the side, Lu Ze raised his watch and glanced at it, it was now 9:40 in the morning, and it was expected to be shooting at 1 pm, so the time was indeed starting to become tense, for a large area of old makeup, it would take at least two hours to make, without hesitation, he got up and asked the busy sweaty Fatini secretary, that is, where the assistant director's dressing room was, and walked straight to the backstage of the bar.
......
Compared to the fully lit front desk, the back is a little darker, the walls are plastered with posters of various musicians, and there are many signatures written in correction fluid on the walls, so it seems that this slightly old bar should have a certain history and show its feelings without concealment.
Through the corridor, the more you walk, the darker it becomes, but when you look into the deepest part, the light is still on, and you can hear the laughter of girls inside, and I don't know what interesting topics are being talked about.
As if hearing footsteps, the laughter quickly subsided, and the blonde girl, who was about twenty years old, showed half of her head, and poked out of the corridor to take a look, just looking at Lu Ze.
βciaoγ β
βciaoγ β
The two greeted each other in Italian, and she seemed to find that it was impolite to look at people like this, and then, the whole person came out of the room, stood at the end of the corridor, and smiled and nodded at Lu Ze.
"Hello Mr. Lu, I'm your fan. β
"Thanks, can I go in?"
"Of course, please. β
Entering the room, there were four girls in the house, and after seeing Lu Ze, they got up and took the lead in saying hello, as makeup artists in the performance industry, although the appearance of several girls was not very beautiful, but they were all pleasing to the eye, and took the initiative to pull the chair and turn on the mirror lamp, because they had just sat on this chair, perhaps because they were worried that Lu Ze had a habit of cleanliness, and carefully checked whether there was any hair on the chair, and finally covered a new seat back blanket and invited Lu Ze to sit down.
"Who's in charge of me, and how long will it take?"
"It's the two of us, it takes about three and a half hours, the fast method needs to use plastic wrap, a long time will cause sweating and makeup, followed by too stuffy, worried that you will not be comfortable, so I chose a more breathable method, the disadvantage is that you need to wait for drying, about an hour will be wasted. β
The blonde girl just now pulled another girl and introduced herself to Lu Ze, Lu Ze quietly waited for the two girls to tie their hair, put on a hood, wash their hands carefully, put on disposable black plastic gloves, and sprayed some breath freshener.
Then came Lu Ze's cleaning work, because he needed to redesign his hairstyle, washing his hair was also indispensable, after washing his hair, he began to wash his face, and then applied some skin care products on Lu Ze's face, even if there was a glove barrier, Lu Ze could still feel some cold palms gently rubbing on his face, which was really comfortable.
Hairstyle design...... It's really hard to say, it's sure to be the back of the head, but you need to shave the hairline high, then thin the hair, and then thin it, so thin that you can see the scalp, and then spray a disposable hair dye spray with plant extracts to dye the hair white, a very classic Western hair loss old man hairstyle is done.
Then there is the makeup link, although it is the first time to do the old man's makeup, but the process is not as difficult as Lu Ze imagined, only need to apply a thin layer of something similar to dough, and then hand-paint the age spots and wrinkles, the old man in the mirror does not look real, especially the light spots on the face are particularly detached, but it doesn't matter, because the aging of this movie will be produced by a special effects company, and it is not completely dependent on makeup.
The disadvantages of makeup are here, makeup is difficult and long, the face is difficult to be real, the probability of makeup removal is high, and the difficulty of touching up makeup is greater, and special effects can perfectly solve this problem, and now we are in the era of excess special effects performance, and it is not a problem to make a more realistic old face than "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".
"It was great. β
Although it is not real, but this makeup is very suitable for a special effects company to take over, Lu Ze understands special effects, so this compliment is sincere, but the girls don't seem to be so happy, maybe because this makeup does not play their full strength, in response to Lu Ze's praise, it seems a little lonely with a smile.
Saying goodbye to the girls, changing into shooting costumes, and returning to the front desk, the bar is no longer messy at this moment, the wires are arranged very neatly, and the bar decorations have been replaced, Lu Ze walked behind Fatini and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Wardfa, you want to scare people to death? but...... It's not bad, how does it feel to have entered the period of hair loss early?"
"Huh. β
Lu Ze really doesn't want to deal with him now, because he has seen through it, this person is the type that the more he reacts, the more energetic he becomes, although it really makes him very unhappy to cut his hair like this, but in order to avoid seeing Fatini's mocking smile, he still resisted the desire to beat people, and only replaced a thousand words with the word hehe.
"Okay, okay, no kidding, then get ready, let's start filming right away. β
