Chapter Two Thousand and Forty-Eight: Stunt Stand-In
A few days later, one day in mid-September, Zhao Yongqi had returned to his normal work. Now the film in the crew is not too nervous, and everyone's role is quite heavy, so after being dispersed, it is more relaxed.
In order to catch up with the schedule, some crews compress the recording cycle very much, and the problem caused by the back and forth is that the actors are forced to use stand-ins, and the exterior scenes are all canceled, so they can only rely on the background studio for post-processing. The consequence of this is that once the effect in the later stage is not good, the actor's own good acting skills will be discounted.
Many onlookers and melon-eating crowds, as soon as they heard the word "stand-in", they felt that the actor was not dedicated. In fact, such as martial arts and stunts, these are all very normal things. After all, an actor can play a hero with strong martial arts, but in fact, I am afraid that he can't even embroider his legs. Therefore, this kind of stand-in is the same as the prop. To put it simply, without WIA, can anyone really fly?
There is also a kind of spitting that makes people vomit a lot, which is the so-called "Wenti". There are many kinds of texts, such as in costume dramas, it is normal to write calligraphy, and shots are not uncommon. But many actors can't write it, even Zhao Yongqi. Therefore, those brushes, with only one hand in the lens, are generally literary substitutes.
The other kind of text is more complicated, that is, the actor's back, the long shot that is not full, etc., are all stand-ins. And this kind of stand-in can be said to be commonplace in modern recording. The fundamental reason is that in order to be in a hurry, the crew divided the recording team into N groups, and the chief director was responsible for important shots, and the others were handed over to the assistant director or even assistant director.
For example, in recent years, the development of the Internet has made the controversy of stand-ins more and more significant. But in fact, many things are not the actors themselves who are dying, but naturally obey the arrangements of the crew. Of course, portrait cutouts and meme shots are another matter. It's just that on the issue of stand-ins, many times it is true that the actors do not play a leading role, and even if they oppose it, the director team may not necessarily accept it. Sometimes, the producer will still directly come out and pressure the actors to obey this arrangement.
However, Zhao Yongqi's luck was good. The two big directors he followed have a very high status in the circle, and the producers often need to shoot according to their wishes, so that Zhao Yongqi has greater autonomy.
In addition, the fundamental purpose of the producer is to make money, whether it is a super-famous director or a star, it is all for this purpose. If you can ensure the quality and your own income, then the crew will be established for a longer time and spend more money, anyway, you can earn it back, and you will have a good reputation, then the producer will naturally not have any opinions.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Zhao Yongqi can be very free in the crew. For example, if you insist on not using a stand-in, if you don't have the support of the director and producer, you can shoot those stand-in shots directly when he doesn't know.
However, today, Zhao Yongqi is the first time in his life that he uses a stand-in in a real sense.
Starting a few days ago, the entire crew began to prepare for a high-risk scene. Originally, after Qian Qiming and Xu Wenwei discussed, they decided to use the technique of storyboarding, that is, to take the whole safe area, then take a local close-up, and finally use the green shed to complete the dangerous shot.
The content of this scene is to show that Yingzheng wanted to escape from Handan City, but was chased by someone, riding a horse from behind him with a rope to wrap his body, and dragged directly off the horse's back.
But after using the green shed to make special effects, Qian Qiming and Xu Wenwei did not approve of it at all. In the end, the decision was made to shoot in a realistic way.
After hearing that it was such a scene, Zhao Yongqi didn't feel it at all. But the girls stopped doing it, and a group of women, large and small, circled around the two old men for two days, constantly demanding that this scene be deleted.
On the one hand, the two old guys couldn't stand the girls' chatter, and on the other hand, they were really worried about Zhao Yongqi's safety. Eventually, they waved their hands and asked for a stunt double.
This time, it was Zhao Yongqi's turn to quit, saying that he didn't want to use a stand-in, and almost made a few girls cry angrily for this. It wasn't until the night a few days ago that Xiao Baozi hugged him and cried all night, as if he was crippled as soon as he went, and finally let him grab his messy hair and be distressed for a long time before he reluctantly nodded and agreed.
Since there is a major event, and it is the first time he has used a stand-in, Zhao Yongqi naturally will not lie in the hotel and pretend to be dead, so he took Park Suzhi to the crew early in the morning, and finished applying makeup as usual, but began to go to the big set to wait for the start.
Why this scene is very dangerous, in fact, Zhao Yongqi himself knows. First, the speed of the galloping horse is very fast, and the spiral Wia hanging on the actor's body will continue to grow. And when the lasso behind him hits, it will be directly strangled on the body, and as for where it will be strangled, this may not be guaranteed. Second, Viaso needed to quickly retract the cable within two or three seconds before the actor was dragged upside down from the horse's body until he landed. Although it is computer-controlled, if the distance and time are not right, it may fall directly to the ground, and it will be on the ground with its back. Even if a protective device is worn inside, serious injuries are not a very bizarre thing.
It is precisely because of such a dangerous action that the group of little girls who secretly agree to the recording will not agree to the recording.
When I walked to the big set, the main background green shed had already been set up. Now it looks like it's running on flat ground, and when the effect is on in the later stage, it becomes a mountain stream path composed of big trees.
The professional stunt double has begun to be installed on Weiya at the moment, and the assistant director is pointing at the face-to-face teaching opportunity. Zhao Yongqi didn't go up to join in the fun, and walked directly to the group of Deng Chao who was about to watch the play.
"Xiao Qi, if you look at it in a while, you will know how difficult this action is. Deng Chao pointed to the group of people in front of him, "Qian Dao has prepared five stunt stand-ins just for him, which is clearly afraid of danger, and he can't pass it once." ”
"Let's take a look first, I don't think it's that difficult, if you change me, I promise to pass it once. Zhao Yongqi grabbed his messy hair and looked into the distance with some regret.
"Let them shoot 10,000 times, and you are not allowed to go!" The little woman with a puffed bun face and a serious face raised her voice in an instant. As if supporting her, Yang Mu, Zhizhi, Feifei, Zhien, Deng Chao, Deng Chao, Li Chen, Lin Xin, and a large group of familiar handsome guys and beauties on the side all nodded like chickens pecking rice.
