Li Binbin thinks it's incredible, but it's understandable that China is too backward in terms of special effects, and everyone has never been exposed to related things, in fact, this method is not complicated at all.

In Hollywood, a combination of makeup and other special effects techniques can create amazing images, in the movie "Rejuvenation", Brad Pitt's old age makeup is wearing a hood, but his body is too burly, not like the elderly, in order to create a real effect, the director found a thin stuntman to play the body, and then spliced Brad Pitt's head and the body of the stuntman together, the audience can't see it at all.

Like "Rejuvenation", Cheng Peng also needs a stuntman, a stand-in with a similar figure to Li Binbin, so that people are easy to find, but he still called Tong Liyu.

"Yaya, how did you do in the last exam today?"

"It's good, I'm sure I'll be able to get in."

"Not bad, yes, then hurry back to the capital!"

Hearing this, Tong Liyu's heart blossomed: "You think of me like this?" ”

"Of course not, you have to go to school in September, the Chinese opera is very strict, and you are not allowed to take the drama in your freshman year, so you will receive two advertisements before the school starts, if you don't exploit it quickly, you will have to wait a year later."

"You're angry with me, Huang Shiren, Zhou Papi, hum!"

"Just kidding, the crew is in a bit of trouble and needs to find an actor." After speaking, Cheng Peng briefly explained the story again.

Tong Liyu smiled: "It's easy to find someone who is about the same size as Li Bingbing, why do you ask me to act?" ”

Cheng Peng rolled his eyes and said, "I still need to ask, of course I miss you!" ”

These words instantly hit the girl's heart, and the smile on her face instantly brightened: "Well, then I'll go buy a plane ticket tomorrow, and I'll rush back as soon as possible!" ”

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, it will take a few days to make a mask, and you can rest at home for a week!"

"No, I want to see you sooner!"

Three days later, Cheng Peng came to the capital airport and waited for Tong Lihui to appear in the terminal building.

After three months, he finally ushered in a reunion with her, and he was a little excited. Although we talk on the phone for a while every day, the phone is a phone after all, and it cannot be seen or touched.

After waiting for more than an hour, a girl in a floral dress appeared in front of Cheng Peng's eyes, like a flower.

As if she had a heart, Tong Liyu also discovered Cheng Peng's location in an instant, although he was wearing sunglasses, she still recognized it at a glance, she showed a sweet smile and walked quickly towards Cheng Peng.

After a warm hug, Cheng Peng praised unabashedly: "Yaya, you look so beautiful today!" ”

Tong Liyu couldn't be happier in her heart, she dressed up carefully, and what she wanted was this effect: "Really? But you're handsome today, too! ”

"Of course, even the prime minister has to praise me for being handsome when he sees me!"

"Narcissist!"

"Alright, let's go!" Cheng Peng held the suitcase in one hand and the girl's hand in the other, and walked outside.

Because of the arrival of Tong Liyu, Cheng Peng's whole person is much easier, and the filming of the crew is getting smoother and smoother.

When the time pointed to June 22nd, the crew's finale scene arrived.

This scene is a scene in which Li Weiran, played by Li Binbin, dies, Li Weiran is inadvertently seriously injured by Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Zhu is frightened and throws her down and runs away. When Chen Ran found her, she was no longer able to walk, and the monsters began to approach again, so she could only pray for Chen Ran to kill her.

In order to shoot this drama, the team began to prepare at five o'clock in the morning, mainly to put on makeup for Tong Lihui, because to wear Li Bingbing's hood, she first had to deal with her hair, like Huang Bo and these actors are flat-headed, relatively short, and very easy to handle, but Tong Liyu has long hair, and there is a lot of hair, and it takes time and skill to deal with her hair so that it can't be seen.

The special effects makeup artists used something similar to gel water, sprayed layer by layer, pressed layer by layer, and spent an hour to make her a big back, then put on a hood and start applying makeup.

When it took a full three hours, the makeup was always done, the crew was in place, and the final shots were filmed.

In front of the camera, Zhang Ziyi, who was covered in mud, with tears in her eyes, pulled Tong Liyi's arm hard, and said in a crying voice: "The monster is coming, let's go quickly!" ”

This is her best friend, just like a sister, in the darkest time of her whole life, she has always been with her, enlightening herself, she really can't leave her, but she doesn't have enough strength to pull at all.

"Xiao Ran, kill me!" Tong Liyu was injured in the neck, blood gushed out of his mouth as soon as he spoke, and his voice was a little slurred.

"No, I can't do that, I can't do it!" Zhang Ziyi looked at Tong Liyu, whose face was covered with blood, and her eyes were sad and desperate.

Kill her best friend, how could she do it!

"Please!"

"I can't do it!"

At this moment, the roar of the monster came from the cave again, Zhang Ziyi glanced back in horror, she knew that the monster was coming soon, and if she didn't leave, everyone would die here.

"Please!" Tong Liyu pleaded again.

"Okay, don't talk, close your eyes!" Zhang Ziyi finally made up her mind, she cried while reaching out to wipe the blood on Tong Liyi's face, she closed Tong Liyi's eyes, gritted her teeth, lifted a stone, and smashed it her head.

"Stop!" Cheng Peng shouted, his eyes were shining with excitement, the performance of this scene was perfect, Zhang Ziyi's emotions were very well laid out when she performed, layer by layer, very real.

He glanced up at Zhang Meng, and when he saw Zhang Meng nodding at him with a smile, he immediately stood up: "The last shot has passed!" ”

The current sound experienced a short pause, but a second later suddenly burst out of a burst of energy that broke through the sky, everyone cheered, all the crew and leading actors, laughed and applauded, and the entire studio suddenly boiled.

"It's finally over." Cheng Peng let out a long breath, only to feel relieved, and after a month and a half, the movie was finally completed.

Although this film encountered some troubles, but on the whole it was relatively smooth, but it was more hard, he looked at Zhang Meng and Chen Shaoping, nodded at them, and said with a smile: "Brothers, you have worked hard for more than a month!" ”

It's all old guys, and they don't need to say much, everyone smiled and responded: "That's it for making a movie, but we're all waiting for the film to sell for a penny!" ”

"Points, sure points!" Cheng Peng laughed, stood up, and walked towards several leading actors.

The hardest part of this movie is not him, the director, nor the other staff, but several leading actors, who crawl around the walls with ropes hanging all day long, many of them with bruises on their bodies, and no one has ever complained.

He hugged Xu Jinglei and said with a smile: "Old Xu, I've worked hard for you, I acted very well!" ”

When Xu Jinglei is not acting, she likes to mix with the people of the director team, and she is a supernumerary member of the director team, and she has learned a lot of things, and said with a smile: "You are too uninteresting, I have been grinding and soaking for a month and a half, and you don't agree, my male number two!" ”

"In the future, there will definitely be a chance in the future!" Cheng Peng smiled, walked to the other actors, and hugged Fan Binbin, Wang Luodan, and Yang Fan one by one.

Then he walked to the female No. 1 Zhang Ziyi, he looked for Zhang Ziyi to film because he valued her fame, but after filming for more than a month, he admired this woman a little, acting really hard, no wonder the big directors like to use her.

He hugged her and said with a smile: "Hard work, you acted so well, you will definitely become the queen of the three gold grand slams!" ”

"Next time you have a suitable character, come back to me, I'll give you a discount!"

"Really, how about a 50% discount?"

"You're too picky, aren't you?"

"Hahaha......"

After laughing, Cheng Peng turned his head to look at the rest of the crew, stood up straight, and bowed to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

"Director, don't just say these kind words, you have to invite us to dinner!"

"Yes, although the food of the crew is good, I still want to have a big meal!"

"Yes, Director!"

……

The completion of the film means that the second phase of the film is completed, and it also marks the beginning of the third phase of work, and the post-production of the film is on the way.

However, for "Dark Invasion", the post-production is easier than many films, because there is a DIT, and the color grading and editing of the scenes in the cave are completed by the time the film is finished; And there are fewer scenes outside the cave, and there is no need for any special effects, after the film is developed, it is directly edited with DI and the scenes in the cave, and related processing can be added, and subtitles and soundtracks can be added.

More than 20 days later, the first cut version of the film was successfully completed, and the film entered the stage of soundtrack, while Cheng Peng handed over the first cut version to the General Administration for review.

Almost at the same time, the selection of filmmakers from the Venice Film Festival came to the door, Cheng Peng, a newly emerging young director, who was the focus of their attention, and they have been following the filming process of the whole film.

Cheng Peng originally planned to send the film to the Venice Film Festival, although he did not expect much from the awards, but the film festival is the best place to sell films. His goal is the screening unit, not that he doesn't want to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, the main reason is that it is too difficult, and the Venice Film Festival has never had a horror film shortlisted for the main competition unit.

It wasn't until 2009 that this record was broken, George Romero's "Island of the Dead", George Romero is known as the "father of modern horror movies", and Cheng Peng is not so famous.

Compared with the main competition unit, it is much easier to be shortlisted for the screening unit, which is the film festival that allows you to show the film, but does not participate in the awards. However, being able to show it at film festivals is equivalent to presenting the film in front of thousands of film companies around the world, which is very beneficial to selling films.

The filmmakers were satisfied with the quality of "Invasion of Darkness" and gave a high evaluation, saying that although the Venice Film Festival has never made a horror film in the main competition, he will still recommend it to the selection committee.

After sending off the filmmakers, Cheng Peng did not relax, because another important thing was in front of him, the premiere of "The Two of Us" was coming.
