The scenes of digging hearts and tearing scalps are also concocted in the same way, all the actors need to do during filming is a hideous and painful facial expression, and the rest is handed over to silicone prostheses, so that is the role of horror props now.

After Li Yihua's explanation, Huang Hai had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and his thoughts were suddenly opened. Hurriedly called the assistant out to buy silicone, planning to make silicone props to see if it was as realistic as said.

Thinking of the backwardness of the props, then the current plasma must still be ketchup. For horror films, plasma is undoubtedly an indispensable prop, and compared with emerging technologies such as computer special effects, making fake plasma can be regarded as a "craft passed down from generation to generation" for props.

Li Yihua decided not to use ketchup, but to use pigments, honey, water or alcohol to make fake plasma, where honey is responsible for mediating the viscosity and making the fake plasma look more realistic. Li Yihua asked the field to buy back those things and debug them to make it look more realistic.

In fact, the color of plasma is also particular, because the color of blood changes after leaving the human body. The freshly shed blood will be a little pink and fresh. After a long time, it will slowly turn dark, and at this time, you need to add some green and coffee to harmonize.

After finishing the knowledge of props, Li Yihua communicated with makeup artist Chen Su again, he can't lose in the details, he hopes that everything can be perfected and perfect, and do his best to think of everything.

Makeup artist is definitely a magical profession, and if a movie leaves a makeup artist, then it can be said that the film could not have been successful. Makeup artists have certain artistic attainments, aesthetic literacy, basic historical knowledge of painting and the ability to observe and analyze life, and can master and skillfully use makeup techniques and skills, and lead and guide assistants to complete the makeup tasks specified in the film. One of their hands can definitely paint decay into magic, making a movie more vividly displayed in front of the camera.

"Brother Su, what do you think about the makeup of this play?" Li Yihua still wants to understand the current makeup realm in Hong Kong, so that he can put forward his own requirements.

"Director Li, I think this drama should be based on yin energy, so we want to use heavy makeup to highlight the horror effect and make the visual sense more intense."

After cooperating with so many directors of horror films, it can be said that he is now at the highest level, and he is fully prepared for any previous scene, and he is also very confident in speaking, with a faint appearance.

"Is that all? Don't have any other props to help you with? Li Yihua didn't expect that the current makeup was still so backward, which obviously did not meet his requirements.

"Props? What is that? Chen Su looked puzzled, he also needed auxiliary props for makeup, this was the first time he had heard of it.

"How about a wound with a thin skin of silicone?" After careful consideration, Li Yihua still decided to use the prop of silicone, which he would use sooner or later anyway, so let him become a pioneer for so long, creating a precedent for the Hong Kong props industry.

"Silicone wounds? Isn't it the same as making a wound out of pigskin? Chen Su raised his own question uneasily, he used to use pigskin to make movies, which is also the most commonly used tool.

"Pigskin wounds, people can see at a glance, so there is no association of surnames, and the advantage of silicone is that it cannot be easily seen, of course, this also requires the help of makeup artists." Li Yihua once again acted as a lecturer to explain modern makeup to Chen Su.

One of the drawbacks of using silicone for wounds is that it takes a long time. Because the requirements for scar makeup on the face are very high, only one head should be divided into five parts: forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and neck, and the requirements for each part are different. However, as I said before, the foundation is silicone, but the silicone used to make the scar should be very, very thin, as much as possible like skin, and then the makeup artist will have to use his skills on this thin layer of silicone.

In fact, there is a big difference between wound makeup, although wound makeup is a more common special effect makeup, but every time you receive this kind of task, you must first ask clearly, under what circumstances the scar is formed, gunshot wounds, bayonet wounds, explosion wounds or burns, each wound is different, so different preparations need to be made according to different situations.

After some explanation, looking at Chen Su, he was still skeptical, and it seemed that practice was the only criterion. No matter how good it is, it is not as good as a thing, so Li Yihua asked the actor to sit there and conduct a makeup experiment.

Chen Su demonstrated a small piece of "scratch makeup" on the cheek of the actor. Li Yihua was on the side to guide, in order to achieve a realistic effect, Chen Su took a variety of paint pens to constantly color the actor's face, from the bruises on the periphery to the flesh and blood in the center of the rout, a total of more than a dozen times, a thumb-sized scratch, it took up to half an hour.

Looking at this "scratch makeup", Chen Su himself couldn't believe that it was painted by himself, he had painted makeup for so many years, and he had never painted such realistic makeup again.

"This ...... This...... Director, you are too coincidental, this is definitely a revolution, this is definitely a magic weapon for makeup! It's really yours, director, how do you have a brain? It's all whimsical, which not only solves this problem, but also makes the whole movie so realistic, which is definitely a milestone in the history of film. ”

Chen Su was a little excited and didn't know what to say, his eyes were full of surprise. For those who love makeup, making a decision is a rare opportunity to practice.

Li Yihua's creativity is very simple, but it undoubtedly has a great impact on these makeup artists in the eighties, looking at Chen Su's excited look, Li Yihua was embarrassed for a while, not because of anything else, but because this method is nothing in the future, and any director will use it when making films

"Hehehe...... This is also what I thought of unintentionally, but it just happened that I really need the superb makeup skills of the makeup artist, I just have an idea! Listening to Chen Su's praise, Li Yihua hurriedly waved his hand with a modest expression.

"Director, don't be modest, just by your thoughts, you can see that you have your own opinions on makeup,"}

Chen Su didn't listen to Li Yihua's modesty, and excitedly studied new makeup techniques, which is the real fun for true lovers.

"Brother Su, the makeup of those actors will trouble you." Li Yihua saw that Chen Su was studying makeup, stood up and planned to leave, but he still didn't forget to tell him about the makeup of "Chainsaw".

Chen Su raised his head and agreed, then lowered his head and studied his makeup, looking like a workaholic again.
