The film industry in China is still discussing vigorously that Peng Yichen's new film and his competition for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film have come to early January.

Under Peng Yichen's orderly arrangement, the crew and several actors sent by Hua Na also slowly adapted to the working environment of Huaxia.

As a horror film, there are not many special effects shots in this movie, but in terms of art, Peng Yichen's requirements are very strict.

Because he needed to create all kinds of horror and very deep scenes and props to help the film express the emotions and humanity he wanted to express.

To this end, Peng Yichen asked Robinov to help, and specially invited Rick Carter, a top Hollywood art director who had participated in "Forrest Gump" and "Jurassic Park" (both of which are adapted movies, so they also exist in this life), to participate in the filming of the film.

At the same time, because Peng Yichen changed the place where this movie took place in the Daxinganling area in northeast China.

Therefore, Peng Yichen also invited Wang Jiawei's royal art director - Zhang Shuping.

His grasp of color and shape is second to none in the Chinese film industry. I can also better understand the local environment and set requirements in China.

In order to determine the costume styles of several leading actors and build the shooting scenes, Rick Carter and Zhang Shuping, under the leadership of Peng Yichen, produced 21 thick and exquisite pictures of movie scenes.

What Peng Yichen wanted was the kind of environment, which was very beautiful, but from time to time revealed a trace of eerie and terrifying environment.

Filmmakers know the saying that "all pictures are the atmosphere created by light and composition, and the atmosphere is a synthesis of the director's personal preferences".

This sentence is what Peng Yichen agrees with very much.

Although Peng Yichen planned to shoot this horror film, it had been filmed by the Xingqi people in his previous life.

However, the pictures taken by the people of Xingqi are completely different from the pictures taken by Peng Yichen in terms of style.

The biggest difference here is the color of the lens and the setting of the scene.

The movie of Star Flag Country gives people a very rough and weird atmosphere, which can create a wild and terrifying primeval forest scene, so that the audience will instinctively feel uncomfortable and terrifying as soon as they see this environment.

However, Peng Yichen's movie picture feels like it is showing the beauty and wildness of the primeval forest, full of freshness. But he will boldly use some discarded industrial supplies and logging tools, and hide some horror and desolation in the beautiful environment.

Let the audience slowly feel a trace of discomfort and horror in a very soothing and beautiful atmosphere.

In the end, it triggers a sense of absurdity in their hearts.

Of course, all this is also based on the strong artistic creativity of Rick and Zhang Shuping.

Peng Yichen usually only needs to come up with an idea, and with a little discussion between Rick and Zhang Shuping, he can present the picture in his mind in front of his eyes in various ways.

Of course, in addition to the arrangement of these scenes and the preparation of props, Peng Yichen also had to complete another preparation, that is, to gain weight quickly.

In the world of the plot, it's one thing to experience the characters, but it's another thing to really turn yourself into a big fat man of more than 200 pounds.

We can often hear that there is a certain actor in Hollywood who has gained or lost twenty or thirty pounds of weight in just a few months.

The most exaggerated is Christian Bale, who played Batman, in order to star in the movie "The Mechanic".

In just a few months, I only ate an apple and a little canned tuna every day, and lost 54 pounds successively, and I lost weight directly. A man who was plagued by insomnia and was in despair jumped into the picture.

In the next 6 years, Bale trained himself to become a muscular man in order to shoot two "Batman", and his weight reached 180 pounds.

But!

In between these two movies, he willfully took over the filming of a movie "Fighter" to lose weight.

This time, he dropped 48 pounds and lost 132 pounds.

In order to perform a role, an actor can go through superhuman pain and torture to turn himself into a rubber man. This spirit is an important reason why so many top actors have appeared in Hollywood.

On the other hand, in the Chinese film industry, actors are willing to quickly change their weight in an almost destructive way for the sake of their roles, and this kind of thing rarely happens to Chinese actors.

In order to show that the refugees fleeing the famine were very hungry and did not eat one or two meals, some actors were blown up by the media.

From this little detail, it can be seen that the gap between Chinese films and Hollywood movies often comes from 'man-made disasters', and it is not just that many Chinese filmmakers prevaricate that the special effects technology is poor, the shooting funds are insufficient, and the censorship system is too strict.

Peng Yichen is a person who pursues to become a great actor, and his requirements for himself in acting can be said to be the strictest and harsh.

Since he returned to Huaxia, in just half a month before the filming of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" started, he relied on his master's super control over his body.

Consume more than a dozen kilograms of ultra-high-calorie food every day, and at the same time control the body and completely reduce the body's metabolic rate.

In just 20 days, Peng Yichen has changed from a handsome man with a toned figure who was only more than 150 pounds to a big fat man weighing more than 205 pounds.

Even Yu Jing went to other places to participate in a commercial performance, and when she came back to see him again three days later, she almost didn't dare to recognize him.

When Peng Yichen went to the Northeast to participate in the film launch conference, the reporters didn't even recognize the big fat man on stage at the two-hour press conference site as Peng Yichen, who was once considered an idol star because of his handsome appearance.

Knowing the final question stage of the press conference, the host introduced him, and these reporters frantically took pictures of the big fat man Peng Yichen.

After the press conference, the news that Peng Yichen gained more than 50 pounds in a month for the new movie role spread all over China in an instant.

If this happened to a Hollywood actor, everyone might just say: You see how dedicated other actors' actors are.

But this incident happened to a Chinese actor, which is a rare thing.

What's even more unexpected is that this kind of thing happened to Peng Yichen, who has a very handsome appearance.

Although most of Peng Yichen's previous appearances were middle-aged men, when he appeared on the big screen, he often had to draw 'old man' makeup, which greatly reduced his appearance.

But those characters are still normal characters.

And now Peng Yichen is almost fat into a ball.

Isn't it said that this is a horror movie? The protagonist is so fat, isn't he afraid that he won't be able to run when he is chased by a ghost or a murderer?

Although everyone is extremely confused, fans have expressed their incomparable recognition and appreciation for Peng Yichen's approach.

Chinese actors finally have an actor who is willing to change his weight crazily for the role.

Although this is not the criterion for judging the level of performance, this kind of professionalism and professional ethics is the most important object for Chinese actors to learn.

So, when Peng Yichen didn't have any information in the new movie, he inexplicably became popular again.

And the reason that made him angry, in his eyes, was extremely ridiculous.

After all, in his opinion, this practice of gaining or losing weight quickly is just the most basic ethics of an actor.

But it is this most basic ethics that has now become a gimmick in Huaxia.
