Chapter 534: Grim Style (II)
As an actor who has won the actor more than once, and has rubbed shoulders with the actor more than once, Zhang Zhonghui has commendable business ability.
In terms of professionalism, Zhang Zhonghui's charm as a middle-aged actor has always been a feature that fans talk about.
In terms of not very professional majors, Zhang Zhonghui's ability to ponder the script of "Million Dollar Baby" on the set of "The Martian" is enough for him to have a very clear understanding of the role.
A man who has made a mistake in his family, he has always wanted his daughter's forgiveness.
A coach who is fully committed to his boxing career, he loses the boxer he has been teaching for years at the beginning of the script - just because he wants to protect his disciple and make him more confident in the ring.
A character who keeps losing, losing, and losing again.
So, how do you act?
Zhang Zhonghui considered a little bit of the core of the film on the way back - everyone will lose, and the key is how to face loss.
If you want to perform the role in the entanglement and pain of loss, it will probably be halfway.
"Forrest Gump, this story is not friendly to the audience's viewing feelings, but it is really reliable if it is an award. β
Zhang Zhonghui admired the busy but orderly scheduling on the set for a while, chatted with Jiang Chun, Jiang Xian's father, and then walked over to the director who was squatting down and fiddling with props.
"Almost, the main thing is to use light and shadow well, and the picture texture will greatly improve this play. Gan Jing wiped the sticky blood prop on the ground on his hand and nodded, "This prop is indeed realistic." β
The prop master next to him replied: "I have made it many times, Brother Gan wants this kind of prop that is a little sticky, in the past we used chocolate syrup, but that one looks a little too much, this time it is replaced with corn syrup with coloring, zinc oxide and methyl hydroxybenzoate, and the gloss looks very good under the lens." β
Zhang Zhonghui was a little surprised, the details of this thing are so dead?
"Very good, now we need to solve a small problem, how to make the plasma appear naturally during shooting?" Gan Jing asked.
The young prop master replied: "Brother Gan, the nose is stuffed with a small blood bag, the kind that flows out when you squeeze it, and then the camera is broken, let's go up and apply some, so it's no problem." β
Gan Jing thought for a while: "What does a normal person's nose look like when they are beaten and bleeding?
"Well, this, it should depend on the strength. The prop master hesitated.
"Wait a minute, ask the coach to see what the most common looks like, and also, the protective action after the fighter is beaten, it's better to lower your head so that we can switch images naturally. "To be respectful is to respect the opinions of professionals.
This film is about professional boxers, and the details can't be overly cared about, plus there is a narrator's explanation of the sport of boxing, and the presence of a champion coach becomes very important.
After a while, Li Zaoyu's side finished first, and the prop master's side took care of it, and Gan Jing communicated with the coach before ordering the start of work.
Today's scene is a boxing fight in the story in which Zhang Zhonghui, as Li Zaoyu's coach, risked her promotion to the ranks, and the opponent was different from the original, Li Zaoyu was suppressed and the bridge of his nose was broken.
Zhang Zhonghui wanted to abstain, but Li Zaoyu was unwilling to give up, and the former helped the latter urgently stop the bleeding to continue the game and finally win.
This scene is a scene with the smell of chicken soup in the first half of the story, however, even in such an upward small plot, the half-minute scene before and after the "emergency hemostasis" in the boxing ring can still make people feel both physical and psychological.
The work "Million Dollar Baby" has won the Oscar for Best Director, Actress, Best Supporting Actor and many nominations in another time and space, but this does not mean that it can be successful casually, the movie is acted after all, Zhang Zhonghui and Li Zaoyu's aura does not match, so I have to try it from this scene first.
If not, Gan Jing reported his intention to go into battle in person and let Lao Zhang hurry up to prepare for the wedding, after all, people's weddings are also very important.
The ring is surrounded by actors, and the shouts serve as the backdrop for an official match.
Li Zaoyu wore a black sports vest and shorts, and wore red and white gloves on both hands.
The muscles on the girl's body are very neat because of the makeup factor, her long hair is braided into a centipede braid around her neck, the ends of her forehead are slightly messy, and the cheekbones on her face are highlighted, which at first glance looks like another person.
"The makeup worked surprisingly well today. Jiang Chun suddenly appeared next to the monitor like a ghost and talked to the director.
"It's a need for the scene, and last week's scene was either before training or on a hospital bed, so it was impossible to use this kind of makeup. Gan Jing said casually, looking at Zhang Zhonghui and finding that he had already stood in the corner under the boxing ring, which was where the coach should be.

As soon as the clapperboard is played, there is another world under the camera.
Li Zaoyu's upper body leaned forward slightly, his feet kept moving, and his right fist quickly tried to attack.
Another actor on the stage is the cameo female boxer Sun Die, her name is the opposite of her body shape, the whole person is obviously in the other direction compared to Li Zaoyu, and the fists with both hands in front of her face easily defuse Li Zaoyu's attack.
During this period of time, the champion coach has been teaching Li Zaoyu's performance in boxing, and just from the current mutual attack between her and Sun Die, it looks really good.
Li Zaoyu launched an attack quickly and powerfully, and Sun Die calmly defended and waited for a counterattack.
Under the camera, the fist gloves of the two were thumping, and there was about twenty seconds back and forth, and Sun Die seized the opportunity to punch Li Zaoyu in the face, making the latter suddenly bow his head defensively - this is a designed switching shot.
The small blood bag placed in Li Zaoyu's nose was squeezed, and the plasma flowed out directly.
"Again, again, there is so much plasma that the camera can't cut through. β
"Li Zaoyu clean up again, Lao Zhang, come here, well, Sun Die, the boxing moves in front of you and Li Zaoyu are good, just keep it up later, this scene is a problem with plasma props. β
Gan Jing ordered again and again, the voices of the actors in the dragon suit sank first, Li Zaoyu took the water and towel handed by the assistant to wash his face and prepare again, and Zhang Zhonghui came over with an aftertaste.
"It's a good fight. Zhang Zhonghui praised first, "Do I have any problems?"
"Don't stand still even if you're offstage, you have to be concerned about this scene, because you're taking the risk of escalating her, care, you have to be concerned. Gan Jing said bluntly.
"Okay, no problem. "Zhang Zhonghui didn't even watch the scenes on the monitor, it is normal for actors to have problems with their performances, just adjust them in time, which is very common.
Gan Jing believed in Zhang Zhonghui's ability, and didn't say much, just waited for the second time.
In about ten minutes, the props are ready.
This shooting also went smoothly, and when it came to the place where the camera needed to be cut, Li Zaoyu's performance was better than last time, the blood bag was bleeding accurately, and the pain on her face was also very decent.
"Li Zaoyu, perform very well, props, quickly apply plasma. β
Sun Die doesn't need to go down, the next scene continues directly. β
Gan Jing was very pleased.
However, Li Zaoyu covered his face with one hand and raised it with the other: "Wait, wait, Brother Gan, I seem to have a real nosebleed, a little pain." β
Gan Jing was stunned.
Soon, the assistant confirmed that Li Zaoyu had a nosebleed, which may have been a little too heavy with Sun Die's punch just now.
"Director Gan, what should I do?" Jiang Chun next to him couldn't help asking.
"A small injury, just in the next shot can be used, so that the audience can feel her pain. Gan Jing said calmly, but raised the horn in his hand and asked, "Li Zaoyu, are you okay?" Can you continue filming today?"
"Yes, no problem. Li Zaoyu covered her nose with paper, and her voice was a little muffled.
Gan Jing glanced at Jiang Chun: "That's right, I'll just say Li Zaoyu." β
"Well, it's painful to look at the description in the back shot, because I have to make the audience feel that feeling. β
Jiang Chun said so, but sighed in his heart, this Li Zaoyu looks very top, why did his son lower his weight in the first place?
