Chapter 239: Old Man's Makeup
"These bed crossbows arrived five days later than the scheduled time, and because the previous crew did not shoot smoothly and were delayed for more than 10 days, I am afraid that I will have to temporarily adjust the shooting sequence!"
"And these group performances, do you look at them with a very standard and orderly posture?"
"Indeed, compared to Director Li, it took a lot of time to train them!"
Liu Dong had already discovered that these group performers were standing motionless, and the people who spoke were very good, and they didn't look chaotic at all, if it weren't for the hundreds of crew employees nearby, they suddenly thought they had crossed over.
"How can I have time to train them, these people are all from military backgrounds, and it took a lot of effort to get the local armed forces department to borrow two platoons from the military subdivision to assist in the shooting, and the others are also veterans contacted by the armed forces department in recent years, and the salary is much higher than that of group performances!" Li Rengang explained.
"Are those group performances unqualified before, why do you have to go to great lengths to ask the government for help?" Liu Dong was puzzled.
"If the group performance is qualified, why should I do this!" Li Rengang said with some distress.
"So you have to be fully prepared for everything, otherwise once something goes wrong in that link, one trouble after another will continue to appear, and things will only get worse and worse!"
"I know, Director Li, take a look at what scenes I can insert and shoot together, I'll go to makeup now!" Liu Dong nodded and said.
"You don't need to take a break, it's not good to sit in the car for so long, don't force it!"
"No need, I've rested for so long, it's time to get into the state as soon as possible!" Liu Dong shook his head, full of energy.
"Okay, you wait!"
Li Rengang said Calais as a co-ordination, took the shooting plan form in the past few days, looked at it one by one, and had an idea after a while.
"It just so happens that you can insert a scene into it before this scene, and save the battlefield to clean up!"
"What scene is it? I'll go and prepare first!"
"In the 61st and 62nd games, Cao Ying and Zhao Zilong went head-to-head and set up an ambush!" Li Rengang said.
"I know, then I'll go and get ready first!"
Liu Dong nodded, he didn't have many roles in this scene, and the protagonists were still Zhao Zilong and Cao Ying.
Then Liu Dong entered the makeshift dressing room, and a deputy leader of the makeup team put on makeup for him.
It has been 60 years since the opening of this scene, Luo Ping'an and Zhao Zilong are also 80 years old, and Liu Dong took a closer look in the mirror after putting on makeup.
In the mirror, there is no longer a masculine and handsome young man, but an old man who has entered his twilight years and is about to die.
His temples were white, and his eyebrows and beard were mostly white, with only a few black sticks mixed in.
There was no "skin" on his forehead and face as expected, and the makeup artist just put a little dark foundation on his face.
Then a white powder, a brown powder, applied to the face, not evenly applied, but not a piece of obvious, it looks like there is a noticeable blend, it can be connected, it feels like it is indeed part of the skin.
"Frowning, I didn't shout to stop and don't relax!" said the makeup artist to Liu Dong with a brown eyebrow pencil in his hand.
Then Liu Dong saw the makeup artist draw wrinkles, crow's feet at the corners of his eyes according to his natural wrinkles, and use dark brown eyeshadow for eye bags.
In addition to the forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines, and eye wrinkles, the figure-eight lines on the side of the nose were also quickly drawn, and the whole face instantly had many three-dimensional wrinkles, and I felt that the whole person's skin was much looser.
Next, I used reddish-brown lipstick to apply a little bit to Liu Dong, and the application was relatively loose.
After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, this pair of senior clothes was completed.
Putting on a costume that he hadn't worn for a long time, putting on a helmet, he looked like an old general in his twilight years, and his eyes were still sharp.
"Thanks, you look like a bad old man!"
Liu Dong thanked the makeup artist and strode out of the dressing room.
Everyone outside was already in formation, several assistant directors were checking back and forth, and two crane-arm cameras were shooting from different angles in the air.
There are three cameras on each side of the two sides of the crowd, and they are not in the right direction.
Liu Dong hurriedly ran over, "Director Li, I'm ready!"
"Well, give him his weapon!" Li Rengang waved his hand, and someone immediately handed Liu Dong a big knife.
"All departments ready!"
"Match 61, 1 shot, 1 shot!"
As Li Rengang shouted out the beginning, after a month's absence, Liu Dong started filming again.
Liu Dehua turned over on his horse with a spear and rode out of the camp.
In Cao Wei's army not far away, Li Meiqi also led several enemies to come out of the column.
Li Meiqi and Liu Dehua looked at each other coldly, and then Li Meiqi threw out the blood-stained general flag embroidered with the words Guan and Zhang, trying to disturb the heart of the Shu army.
Liu Dong, on the other hand, stood behind a group of Shu soldiers, looking at them with a complicated expression, and then staggered and secretly walked towards the camp.
"Click!"
"Very good!" Li Rengang shouted, and gave Liu Dong a thumbs up, obviously very satisfied that Liu Dong could enter the state so quickly.
Liu Dong was already thinking about this scene just now, which was nothing more than Luo Ping'an's unwillingness and regret after being rebelled by Cao Weice, as well as his guilt towards his eldest brother Zhao Zilong.
Next, continue to shoot the second scene, Liu Dong rode a horse and waited on the side, the others still kept their original positions, and Liu Dehua was already fighting with Li Meiqi.
Li Meiqi slowly led Liu Dehua to a place far away from the military formations of the two sides, and when the fierce battle was in full swing, a general Cao Wei suddenly came out and caught Liu Dehua off guard.
Liu Dehua hurriedly held the gun with his backhand to resist, and in a hurry, the spear was vibrated by the huge force.
Li Meiqi took the opportunity to attack, and gradually Liu Dehua was about to be unable to parry.
"Click!"
"Liu Dong!"
Li Rengang shouted to stop and cast a color at Liu Dong, and Liu Dong immediately understood, and galloped towards the place where they were fighting.
"Big brother, I'm here!"
Liu Dong shouted in his mouth, the bow sank, and he threw the arrow on the ground in a nervous manner, so he had no choice but to throw the longbow to Liu Dehua!
"Big brother, go on!"
Liu Dehua took the longbow and blocked Li Meiqi's killing move, but Li Meiqi's knife was missed.
"Click, never!"
In this shot, Li Meiqi cut the bowstring with a knife, and Liu Dehua took advantage of the situation to bend Changgong, and the huge elastic force directly bounced Li Meiqi away.
After a month of running-in, the cooperation between the crew has been very tacit, and there are very few mistakes made during the period.
At noon, it was time to prepare for dinner, but when I returned to the formation, everyone ate lunch in the same place.
Sit down and rest for half an hour, and the afternoon shooting continues.
It took half an hour to rearrange the formation, and then it was a large-scale war scene.
Dozens of infantry phalanxes, chariots that have withdrawn from the stage of history are interspersed, and heralds are constantly waving flags and riding through them.
This scene alone took more than two hours to constantly adjust the military formation, after all, it is not so easy to shoot tens of thousands of troops with a thousand people.
More than a dozen cameras shoot shots for post-production without dead ends.
The subsequent confrontation between the two armies was even more troublesome.
Li Rengang used local small-scale wars to fully represent this battle, and the photographer followed the actor with the camera to capture the shot.
There are more photographers around, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps, and more than a dozen local small-scale wars have not been filmed in an afternoon, so they can only continue tomorrow.
