Before the official start of filming of "Oldboy", the two main actors and several other actors are now wearing makeup.

This makeup application time is at least more than two hours, and they are reading the script while applying makeup.

In fact, most of the makeup time is such a long time, it is an ancient movie or a blockbuster such as mythology, and a modern movie has such a long makeup time Sometimes it sounds a little incredible.

Because now makeup is mainly to make a few actors younger, so that they look like they are only in their teens.

After all, the role belonged to junior high school students before, and if an actor in his thirties became like that without makeup, it was a bit too watery.

As for how to make them into teenagers, this is not a problem.

After all, the empire is one of the most powerful countries in the entertainment industry in the world, and there are a large number of skilled makeup artists waiting here.

Now is an era of the rise of CG, and many scenes that used to require various props, sets, and makeup to be able to show can now be made effortlessly in the magical and gorgeous CG light and shadow. As a result, many of the original props, sets, and makeup artists are facing the problem that jobs are not as easy to find as before.

Of course, in recent years, the world's film industry, including China and the United States, has also had some waves of reverting to the original technology.

The film was reinstated as filmed, and the makeup, sets, and miniatures were used as much as possible instead of CG post-production, so as to restore the texture of the film.

But after all, this wave is used by very few directors, after all, it is more reassuring to be CG......

So makeup artists are still not so hard to hire.

China in another time and space. Makeup artists are becoming more and more green and yellow, and many of the older generation of Chinese makeup artists are not inferior to Hollywood makeup artists. But it is facing the danger of not being able to grow up, the new generation of makeup artists has not grown up, but they have not been given enough growth environment, and the overall film industry does not have the strong hematopoietic ability of Hollywood.

But this life is different, although Li Chencan and the others invited a makeup artist who is particularly good at art, but they didn't use it too much in price, at least not to the point where it was unacceptable.

More than two hours later. The looks of the two have already been formed, and they look like they are in their teens, and then put on the school uniforms. It's really not a problem at all to impersonate a junior high school student.

Li Chencan also nodded with satisfaction when he saw the two of them looking like this, sure enough, you get what you pay for, this makeup artist really doesn't cover it.

The filming process of "Old Boy" in the previous life was very difficult. The shooting budget of 600,000 yuan is really not too much money to hire a good makeup artist. But it's really difficult for the two of them to pretend to be tender, and try not to care about their faces, but after all, the skin has a lot of wrinkles and is very loose, in order to solve this problem, they used a very earthy and painful method - pull the facial skin tightly to the back, and then glue it with tape, so that their skin does not look so loose......

It's like that, and it's very difficult to shoot. "Old Boy", which has a very low budget, has caused a sensation, and Li Chencan feels that he has invested more in the filming budget for this. "Old Boy", which has also revised what I think has some flaws, must not be my own failed work, right?

For this, Li Chencan felt that he must have enough confidence.

The movie has officially started!

For micro-movies like theirs, the equipment is not particularly complicated, many of the equipment are rented temporarily, and the monitor is very small, but now Li Chencan can be regarded as sitting in front of the monitor, watching whether the whole scene is carried out according to his own arrangement.

Everything is going in an orderly way, gradually entering a track.

Li Chencan sat back in front of the monitor, and there was really some mixed feelings in his heart, the last film he had in his previous life, and it was also the real first film he directed, but after the worst, he became the culprit who killed himself. However, at least in that film, Li Chencan realized his dream of directing.

And now, the director's dream is continuing, although now it's just a micro-movie, but at least it's also a movie.

Feeling that the scene is under his control in an orderly manner, Li Chencan is now in a very comfortable mood, although it is quite tiring to make a movie, but in this process, Li Chencan can enjoy those things.

Slowly, the filming progress here is already quite good, and now, many nostalgic junior high school scenes are slowly showing up in the camera.

"Old Boy" has a sufficient storyboard script and carefully discusses and polishes the shooting plan every night, and the filming progress is still very fast.

During the filming of "Old Boy", Luo Lijie once again discovered Li Chencan's extraordinarily strong talent in this regard......

Li Chencan is always able to have an extraordinary calmness when formulating shooting plans, arranging storyboard scripts and shooting tasks, and casually, he can cut to the point of a shooting plan, and then try to let everyone shoot "Old Boy" in the best way.

Many of his words, the use of lenses and the like, although I dare not say that they are masters, are indeed as precise and sharp as a scalpel, and hit the nail on the head.

After two or three days of shooting, there was already a lot of footage.

That night, Li Chencan and Luo Lijie were pulling the daytime shooting materials to see, and now they are still shooting some clips of their life in junior high school, and after careful preservation, these clips are now pulled in front of Li Chencan's eyes one by one.

Li Chencan's mouth had a smile on his lips, and at this moment, his eyes were basically completely fixed on the pictures that flowed one by one.

Whenever this happens, Luo Lijie is surprised...... I always feel that this guy is a person who has dedicated his life to movies.

Even when Li Chencan was singing, when he was writing songs and winning song awards, he basically couldn't see Li Chencan's expression, but now every time he sees the shooting materials, Li Chencan always has this kind of expression that makes people feel as if the ordinary young and old Li Chencan is pretending, and only at this time is he revealed.

"Chencan." Luo Lijie patted him on the shoulder: "It's past three o'clock, you go to sleep." ”

"Good...... I'll go to sleep later. Li Chencan said to him with a smile, but his eyes were full of bloodshots, which already reflected the exhaustion of his master at this moment.

"It's really not early...... Luo Lijie said, "These things can be seen later, and there is no need to rush for a while." ”

Li Chencan smiled: "I plan to edit it myself, so I will familiarize myself with these pictures first, at least I have a number in my heart, and it will be convenient to edit when the time comes." ”

"Are you really going to edit it yourself?" Luo Lijie was simply taken aback by this kid: "Just leave this thing to someone else......"

"It's okay." Li Chencan said with a smile: "Compared with "Where Are You Going, Dad", this shooting material is actually just a lot of watching, and it doesn't take much time, not to mention, I just cut and paste these things back together with their shot sequence, and a lot of specific post-production still has to be handed over to professionals." ”

"That being said, it's still a lot of work." Luo Lijie glanced at him and said, "Look at you, your eyes are bloodshot, that is, you are young and in good health." ”

Li Chencan smiled at him: "Brother Luo, thank you for your concern...... But this is my first film after all...... Anyway, I want most of its flesh to be born under my hands. ”

Luo Lijie only thought that this was Li Chencan's emotion for a while, but he didn't care too much, but he didn't know that Li Chencan said that his first movie actually contained a lot of things......

This encompasses a belief that travels through time and space but does not forget.

"Okay then...... But you'd better rest early, isn't it your book launch tomorrow? You'd better adjust your mental state, or you'll be bloodshot and you'll be able to figure out what you did last night. Luo Lijie had an obscure smile on the corner of his mouth: "Maybe I will associate this with your song "Broken Chapter", ......"

"That's a problem......" Li Chencan took his gaze back and suddenly remembered this stubble.

Indeed, tomorrow is March 31st, that is, the day of the official release of "The Legend of Wukong", this date is still very important, and it must not be forgotten no matter what.

Li Chencan will hold a book launch conference at the Mingde Book City building in Tianfu Province, and many people will come to attend...... If you are in a bad mental state, it will definitely not work for those present.

Thinking of this, Li Chencan and Luo Lijie packed up these belongings, packed up the materials and everything, and then planned to go to sleep.

The next morning, Li Chencan came to Mingde Book City at a very fast speed, and casually stuffed a few xiaolongbao into his mouth on the way, and then after arriving at the Book City, while the press conference had not yet started, Li Chencan seized the time to make up for sleep on the stool.

For a person of his age, it is still quite good to make up for sleep at such a time, and when he gets up, he is refreshed, and he feels much brighter when he sees this world.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the morning, and at half past one in the afternoon, the book launch would officially begin.

Now, the master of ceremonies at the scene is telling Li Chencan about some things at the book launch conference, explaining to him the next precautions, after all, this book launch conference still needs to pay attention to some things, and it also needs to be carried out in accordance with the etiquette arrangement.
