Chapter Seventy-Three: Stand-in Performance
Afterwards, Guo Fushen's injury, after being sent to the hospital for timely treatment, found that what he said was right, this injury was really an old injury that had not healed, and the temporary force was wrong, resulting in an instant aggravation of the original injury.
Obviously, he wouldn't be able to use that hand for days. Even if he can be discharged from the hospital and return to the crew as soon as possible, the injury on his arm still has to be slowly recuperated, and he can't be in a hurry at all.
Therefore, such a factual situation, for director Liu Weiqiang, there is no expected surprise at all.
In the days that followed, he had to face the terrible situation of the main actor being injured.
For this reason, he quickly appeared very worried, very anxious, and did not know what to do.
After all, this new film has a large investment, and even the schedule for future releases has been arranged in advance, and it can't be delayed at all. Moreover, the schedules of the main actors were also adjusted with great difficulty, and it was impossible to make up or save them later. He had to find a way to complete this filming in time, and it was difficult to wait for Guo Fushen to recover from his injury before reshooting. In addition, Guo Fushen is the protagonist in the play, there are too many scenes, and he must appear in the play from time to time, and there is indeed no way to delay.
Therefore, even though Li Xuan had previously told him that he would take the initiative to take on Guo Fushen's stand-in task in the performance and help the other party perform those action scenes that require hands-on action, director Liu Weiqiang is still a little unconvinced.
Although martial arts stand-ins are indeed very common in the process of acting, there are already many people who are professionally engaged in this kind of work in the crew of "Storm and Clouds".
However, now Guo Fushen's injury has not healed, and it is still quite serious, and he can only simply show his facial expressions during the filming process for a period of time in the future. As for some action scenes near his arm, they basically can't be filmed, so the specific situation is even more complicated.
It can be said that actor Guo Fushen, who was temporarily not allowed to move his left hand after being injured, really only left the parts above or below his arm to complete normal shooting, and his arm still had to be hung with a bandage.
Such a huge shooting problem is not a simple martial arts stand-in, which can be easily replaced. Liu Weiqiang's worry and anxiety are not unreasonable.
Fortunately, Li Xuan's previous suggestion was not casually talked, but really prepared.
At a certain time on the second day, he deliberately pulled the worried Liu Weiqiang to the side of the dressing room, and then took the initiative to change into a dress similar to the one used by Guo Fushen when acting, and smiled at the director: "Director, look, I will simply put on makeup, and I will shoot a long shot when I appear later, can you still recognize that I am not Guo Fushen, not Bu Jingyun?"
Seeing this, Liu Weiqiang couldn't help but feel a little happy immediately, but then he shook his head very helplessly and sighed: "Yes, Guo Fushen's stuntman is served by you, there is really no big problem." You and Guo Fushen are both handsome guys, and their figures are also somewhat similar, and they are taller, which can be perfectly solved after special treatment. However, when there are action scenes, I can't always use long shots to shoot the scenes of the frightening clouds, or I have to shoot a lot of close-up scenes of Guo Fushen, in this case, you can't replace him at all. ”
"It's okay, don't worry. The big deal is that we shoot a little more footage, and then do technical editing and editing. We can first film the step shocking scene officially performed by Guo Fushen, who is now injured, ignore his actions after being injured, and let him interpret his due expression and attitude in place. ”
"Next, I can try to imitate and interpret all the specific acting processes of Guo Fushen, and at the same time show the due movements, copy his performance entirely, and then you will shoot it. After that, as long as the scenes of the two of us are coincidentally edited, the normal step shocking scenes will still be revealed, and there will not be too much delay in the filming process, just consume more film and a little more time. ”
Li Xuan explained quite seriously, gave advice to director Liu Weiqiang, and put forward such a very good idea, "Of course, if you are worried that our post-film technology will not be able to do it, I can help you contact a professional special effects company in Hollywood, and my agency in the United States, CAA, must know such a company, which can fully solve the difference between the different faces of actors when I am a stand-in." What I really paid was some money, but I could still complete the shooting work in a normal and timely manner. ”
"Ah, when you say that, it's really a bit feasible!" Director Liu Weiqiang instantly became a little excited when he heard it, "There is no problem with editing technology, it is true that as long as you spend a little more effort and money, you should be able to complete the post-production beautifully, and we have spent a lot of money and budget on new technologies in this film." ”
Li Xuan continued to nodded: "There will definitely be no problem, if you use technology to deal with it a little in the later stage, the audience will not find too many goofs, and we can also complete the film production task within the specified time as much as possible, meet the publicity and release schedule that has been set a long time ago, and don't worry about the actors' full schedule." ”
However, not long after director Liu Weiqiang fell into excitement, he suddenly thought of some unfavorable factors, couldn't help but fall silent again, and said to Li Xuan with some suspicion: "I suddenly found that there is an extremely important core issue in doing so. That is, you have to do it, complete a synchronous imitation of Guo Fushen's performance when he goes into battle with an injury, almost playing him, and you have to add special action scenes. It's not just a stand-in mission, it's even a new parody performance, can you really do that?"
Li Xuan saw Liu Weiqiang's skepticism, and smiled confidently again: "This kind of performance is a stand-in performance that is a little different from the past. But since I dare to make such a suggestion, I am still confident that I can do it, so you can rest assured. Now, I'm going to show you a little bit of it. ”
After that, Li Xuan took the initiative to call the makeup artist of the crew to come over, and first put on the costume of Bu Jingyun in the crew.
At the moment, he is indeed very confident. Because in his opinion, Guo Fushen's acting skills as Bu Jingyun are of average level, mainly to play cool and handsome, and it is really not difficult to imitate, he thinks that he can definitely restore it to a large extent.
As for the kung fu performances he has more in comparison, he won't worry about his old job. These are the characteristic moves he has designed, and he even has a little muscle memory.
Seeing Li Xuan's high morale, Liu Weiqiang couldn't help but put aside his worries and doubts for the time being, and let the on-site crew prepare to start the film, and try to see if Li Xuan's plan would work.
Therefore, he quickly signaled that the injured Guo Fushen also finished putting on the makeup of Bu Jingyun, and first went to interpret this action scene according to the original script, of course, the process of fighting was just fooled.
In fact, Guo Fushen was injured in an accident, and he was already very sorry for the crew and other actors, and he didn't know how to save and help the crew. Suddenly, seeing that such an action seemed to be able to really make up for the predicament caused by his injury to the crew, he couldn't help but quickly prepare, stood still with the opposite actor, and easily completed these due performance scenes.
He is indeed a very professional actor, enduring discomfort, being serious and dedicated throughout the whole process.
Although the fact that his arm was hanging at the scene was really an obstacle, he still showed the standard he deserved in other aspects.
So next, director Liu Weiqiang quickly shifted his attention to Li Xuan, who had already entered the scene.
"How about it, do you need me to let Guo Fushen play it again, how familiar are you. Liu Weiqiang was also ready to give Li Xuan a little more time, but his expression was still more worried than expected.
However, Li Xuan immediately shook his head and said seriously: "No problem, director, you are ready to shoot, I am ready." ”
Liu Weiqiang was helpless, so he had no choice but to announce the start of the filming of Li Xuan's stand-in performance.
As soon as the new filming began, Li Xuan quickly entered the state, as if in an instant, he had already regarded himself as the step of Guo Fushen as if he was shocking, and according to the whole process of Guo Fushen's interpretation just now, he carried out a meticulous and serious on-site imitation performance.
His every move, expression, line dialogue, body movement, etc., all maintained an amazing consistency with Guo Fushen's performance just now!
"Wow, like!"
"How is it possible, how can he maintain such a similar performance?"
"Isn't it a flower, Xiao Li can really imitate on the spot, his memory and expressiveness are too strong!"
……
The staff at the scene, when they found out that Li Xuan was imitating Guo Fushen's performance very smoothly and beautifully, couldn't help but whisper enthusiastically on the side, and they were quite shocked!
