Chapter 107: Makeup Photos
Since 1996, in order to shoot the movie "Opium War", Hengdian Film and Television City has built the first film and television base in the local area, and in the past ten years, it has developed into a collection of Guangzhou Street, Hong Kong Street, Ming and Qing Dynasty Palaces, Qin Palace, Qingming Shanghe Tu, Huaxia Cultural Park, Ming and Qing Dynasty Residential Expo City, Dream Valley, Pingyan Cave Mansion, Dazhi Temple and other 13 film and television shooting bases spanning thousands of years of history and time, bringing together the characteristics of the north and south regions and two super-large modern studios.
Today, Hengdian Film and Television City has become the largest film and television shooting base in the world with the most shooting scenes, the most complete supporting facilities, the longest historical span, and the largest film and television shooting base in the world, with an area of 1,944 square meters and a height of 23 meters, known as the "Oriental Hollywood".
Popular films directed by well-known directors such as "Hero", "Wu Ji", and "The City Full of Golden Armor" were all shot from Hengdian Film and Television City, and the output of film and television dramas in Hengdian Film and Television Base accounted for 1/4 of the national film and television drama output.
Like "Heartless Mage" in the bright era, it was filmed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties Residential Expo City.
Cao Jiankui angrily looked at the group performance that added drama to himself, and forcibly endured it without scolding.
This group performance quietly took a step forward and looked at it from the camera's angle, just covering half of Wang Kai's body.
However, this is Cao Jiankui's first time really directing independently, and he has high requirements for himself and others, and he can't tolerate someone to destroy the sense of picture he wants to shoot.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, director, I didn't pay attention. Director, please give me another chance. The group actor who played the guard had a white face and was busy with a series of apologies.
This group performance can show its face in the play, and there are lines, which is not a simple trick. Therefore, he also cherishes this role, but he didn't expect that for a moment, he would be obsessed with the protagonist and actually grab the protagonist's shot in front of the director.
"This shot is re-shot." Cao Jiankui said with a dark face.
Gu Cancan couldn't help but shake her head gently, she didn't say anything, looking at Director Cao Jiankui's stability, she silently left first.
The professional quality of group performances is indeed lacking.
According to incomplete statistics, in 2006, there were about 20,000 extras in Hengdian who begged for a living here.
A very small number of them are nearby villagers who come to earn extra money part-time when they have nothing to do. The vast majority of them are young people who have dreams of being actors but have not received formal acting training, who come to Hengdian to try their luck, dreaming of having the opportunity to stand out and become popular.
Actor is a very glamorous profession on the surface, especially when the country is peaceful and peaceful, the status of actors is even higher.
Therefore, it has also attracted countless young, handsome, pure and beautiful boys and girls to devote themselves to it without hesitation, and a very small number of them have been successfully admitted to film and television art colleges, but a considerable part of them do not have this opportunity, or they do not have the talent of acting, but they do not want to give up their dreams, so many people choose to go to the north and drift horizontally.
The group performance that grabbed the camera just now is one of them. His name is Lu Xuan, he is tall and handsome, and his appearance is very good, no worse than some celebrities, but he was not admitted to the art school in high school, so he had to go to a college that can remember.
He was not interested in accounting at all, and he didn't want to give up his dream of being an actor, his freshman year was not over yet, and he finally couldn't help but secretly come to Hengdian as a group performer, dreaming that one day he could be appreciated by a certain director and soar to the sky.
It's just that the dream is plump, the ideal is the backbone, there are many group performances in Hengdian, and there are more people who are taller than him and more handsome than him, and he has not learned professional acting skills, and he can only bubble in various crews, and he will earn more than 1,000 in a month, barely able to maintain his life.
I was also dizzy just now, and I actually went to grab the protagonist's shot, but fortunately, the director surnamed Cao had a good temper and didn't replace himself, Lu Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
……
In the morning, Gu Cancan's role was not arranged, and Gu Cancan was not idle, wandering around the crew.
This time she is the producer and producer, of course, one of the purposes of this is to promote. In fact, it is the first time for Gu Cancan to understand the structure of a crew and the functions of the staff in such detail, and he has learned a lot, and he feels that he has benefited a lot.
In the afternoon, the main actors who have no scenes for the time being will focus on shooting makeup photos for promotional use.
Shen Ling's studio contracted the costume design and production of the main actors of Master Wuxin, among which Yue Qiluo had the largest number of costume sets.
This made Shen Ling always think that Yue Qiluo was the protagonist, after all, it was Gu Cancan who played it, but later learned that Yue Qiluo was the villain in the play, and for a while, his mood was very complicated.
Gu Cancan likes Yue Qiluo's appearance in the original time and space TV series, and combined with the description in the Nile book, he made N clothes for himself.
There is a description in the book: "Yue Qiluo was wearing a red dress and red pants, with white wind hair rolling on the collar and cuffs, and a pair of rabbit fur slippers under his feet. She stood by the window with her head tilted, holding a small bowl of blue and white porcelain in one hand and a small silver spoon in the other, scooping out a spoonful of white, tender, soft and trembling things from the bowl. The hot steam reddened her lips and the tip of her nose, and she pursed her mouth into small flower bones, and leaned over to the edge of the silver spoon to suck and drink. ”
Nile, the beautiful woman's literary skills, really didn't say, just a few sentences, this scene was clearly described, and people couldn't help but think of this picture after reading it, and most of the literary skills hit the street at the starting point.
Yue Qiluo in the book is a ghostly little demon girl with no bottom line, but Yue Qiluo's character in the original time-space TV series Heartless Mage has been modified a lot, and Chen Yao performed Yue Qiluo unforgettable, and her demeanor even surpassed that of Jin Chen, the heroine who played the crescent moon.
The Bright Era version of the Heartless Mage has changed even more, and Yue Qiluo's character is set relatively pleasing, after all, it is the boss Gu Cancan who personally plays this dark and sick Jiao Lori, in case the role is hated, wouldn't it be a pit for his own boss.
Gu Cancan knew Yue Qiluo's ability to attract fans, and he was not worried about it at all.
Now the key point is that many people are wondering whether Gu Cancan has enough acting skills to support the role of Yue Qiluo, after all, she has not received systematic professional acting learning.
In fact, after Gu Cancan decided to play Yue Qiluo, she deliberately followed an acting teacher in Chinese opera to learn acting for a period of time.
In film and television performing arts, it can be roughly divided into three schools: experiential, methodological and expressive.
The requirements of the "experiential school" for performance are: starting from oneself and living in the situation of the character. Gu Cancan remembered that the teacher told her that the experiential school was the most misunderstood performance school in China, and the understanding of the experiential school that was currently popular on the market was basically wrong.
For example, if a young man plays an old man, instead of imitating the old man, he uses the experiential method to make himself believe that the situation of the old man has happened to him, such as believing that he has bad joints, cannot see clearly with glasses, and cannot hear clearly with his ears...... It's still me, it's just that the situation has changed.
Experience sending a straight man to play homosexuality, he can't disguise himself as someone else to imitate, but can only show even a little bit of his good feeling for men in his heart to the role, and really use his gay side to show people. Secondly, it requires believing in the situation, such as believing a fake gun as a real death threat, and requiring a subconscious reaction in the situation, rather than a well-designed performance, which is much more difficult than design. In the end, a lot of homework has to be done to flesh out the character's situation, to make a fictional situation as full as life, and the amount of content that needs to be filled in is quite staggering.
The aesthetic pursuit of the experiential school is to be real, and everything is to make the actor's performance achieve a sense of reality close to life and close to the subconscious, which is the most difficult of the three schools, and it also requires the most talent: the talent of emancipating oneself and the talent of believing in the situation. There are only one actor who can have the talent to meet the requirements of the experiential school, so there are many people who can't go on are unwilling to admit that they are not talented enough, and turn to tamper with or oppose the experiential school.
For example, Ren Suxi, the actor of Zhang Yiman in the original time and space donkey, Ren Suxi's performance is a very typical successful experiential performance.
The actors who can use the experience school to act are all really good actors, such actors are all rare but not available, and the actors of the experience school are really prone to psychological and spiritual problems, Gu Cancan listened to the teacher's explanation, tried to substitute it again, and then gave up the performance of the experience school, and the talent was not enough......
On the basis of understanding the soul of the character, Expressionism highlights the personality of the character through external expressions, including voice and body, props, specific expressions, label-style movements, etc., Expressionism does not emphasize starting from the self, but emphasizes the construction of a "character image" in the heart, emphasizing imitation. At the same time, Expressionism does not advocate subconscious living in situations, but emphasizes grasping and designing.
Well, most of the performance forms of small fresh meat and small flowers are basically expressionists.
Methodism is inherited from experientialism, but there is one significant difference, that is, methodism allows actors to replace the person with whom they communicate, while experientialism does not.
For example, a straight man plays a gay guy and makes him fall in love with a man. The method school allows the straight male actor to imagine the opponent substitution as a woman, while the experience school does not allow it. Experientialism demands that you must find the part of your love in this same-sex person.
In fact, methodist performances are very suitable for the big screen, in the filming of movies, actors can not always have a real communication object, and the most realistic performance only needs one is enough, no need to repeat it repeatedly. Therefore, in film shooting, it is sometimes necessary and harmless for actors to replace the communication partner. This is different from the requirements of a stage play.
There is a clear distinction between the pursuits and methods of each faction, but it is impossible to be 100% pure in actual performance. It is impossible for an expressionist actor to be completely untouched by true feelings, and it is impossible for an experiential actor to be completely undesigned.
And due to the lack of systematic acting teaching in China, most actors do not follow a certain faction, but explore their own performance methods in practice.
For example, Huang Bo and Huang Haibo, their performances tend to be methodical, but their performance forms are flexible, and they have developed their own characteristics in the continuous grinding.
Gu Cancan studied with the teacher for a period of time, and the main thing she learned was the performance form of the method school, and the level of the experience school was too high, and she didn't look down on the performance school.
Hairstyle Gu Cancan still uses Chen Yao's Qi bangs, she left Qi bangs for a period of time after she was reborn, and her face shape can completely control Qi bangs hairstyle.
The stylist re-cut Gu Cancan's hair very carefully, Gu Cancan's appearance was not that glamorous and beautiful, but more soft and cute, this Qi bangs hairstyle made Gu Cancan look younger again, and Lori went back, which is just in line with the image of Yue Qiluo depicted in the original book Wuxin Mage, Yue Qiluo's first appearance was the image of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little Lori.
After cutting her hair, the makeup artist put on a black contact pair for Gu Cancan, which made her black eyes look bigger, occupying most of her eye sockets, and she immediately looked ghostly.
After putting on makeup, the makeup artist looked at Gu Cancan in the mirror and sighed loudly: "Mr. Gu, you are really suitable for this hairstyle, as well as contact lenses, you are really beautiful." To be honest, I have put makeup on many female celebrities, and in terms of looks, I dare say that few can surpass yours. ”
"Hehe, I don't raise my salary if I make a fool of myself."
The makeup artist laughed: "Mr. Gu hasn't usually brought contact lenses, right?" ”
"Of course not, it feels weird to bring it, it's not very comfortable."
"Get used to it." The makeup artist grinned and said: "In fact, many actresses usually wear contact lenses or contact lenses, and sometimes wearing contact lenses or contact lenses can improve a person's spirit." ”
This makeup artist's young lady has a somewhat familiar personality.
Put on makeup, Gu Cancan went to take pictures.
She changed into Yue Qiluo's classic Little Red Riding Hood cloak, leaned on the back of the seat, closed her eyes and brewed her emotions for a while, and then opened her eyes, her eyes faintly swept across the audience.
The people present felt a sudden burst in their hearts when they looked at Gu Cancan's eyes.
The face is still the same face, the hairstyle and clothes have not changed, but Gu Cancan's whole person has completely changed to everyone present.
Gu Cancan's little face was slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, his eyes were emotionless, and he looked at everyone as if he was a low-level creature.
The photographer's heart howls wildly, this is the feeling, this is the feeling!
The fingers were quickly pressed, and Gu Cancan's demeanor at this time was photographed from all angles.
……
The first TV series of the Bright Era started filming in Hengdian, and it started shooting on the same day, and related news appeared on various online media reports that night.
As the first TV series produced by the bright era, Gu Cancan personally played the villain in the play, this news surprised the melon-eating masses who paid attention to entertainment news, and after two years, finally waited for Gu Cancan to go to film in person again.
For a while, the search volume of Heartless Mage soared.
And what surprised the people even more was that on the second day of the report, on the official Weibo of Master Wuxin, a makeup photo of Gu Cancan was released.
Stunning the whole network.
