The time came to mid-July, and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" was officially launched.

This time, one person played two roles, and the other party woke up and said that it was a very big test.

In fact, in TV dramas, it is not uncommon for one person to play two roles, or even multiple roles.

However, usually if one person plays two roles in a TV series, there will be a contrast in the shape.

For example, in Xianxia dramas, it is very common for the protagonist to separate his demons.

And the inner demon is usually played by the male lead actor.

At this time, it is only necessary to add red eyes and a black body to the demon in the special effects, and the audience will know at a glance that this is the demon.

In this case, one person plays two roles, in fact, there is no difficulty, as long as the actor acts normally.

However, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" is not like this at all.

Guan Hongfeng, the male protagonist of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", and his younger brother Guan Hongyu are not only twins, but they also need to wear the same clothes, make the same expressions, and pretend to be the same person in the play.

Because, Guan Hongyu has become a suspect in a murder case, and the police are looking for him.

In order to help his younger brother find out the truth, Guan Hongfeng needs to hide his younger brother's identity, and he hides his younger brother at home.

And that's not all.

Because Guan Hongfeng accidentally killed his teammates in the dark when he was the captain of the criminal police, he left a psychological shadow and suffered from dark phobia.

At night, Guan Hongfeng must stay in a brightly lit place, otherwise his mental state will be abnormal.

However, as a Force Adviser, you cannot commute from 9 to 5 in the morning.

When you need to investigate a case at night, you have to go out at night.

However, Guan Hongfeng's dark phobia prevented him from going out at night.

Therefore, his younger brother Guan Hongyu will pretend to be his brother at night to handle the case.

This is also the origin of the title of the drama "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".

For the other characters in the play, the "Guan Hongfeng" you see during the day is really "Guan Hongfeng", and the "Guan Hongfeng" you see at night is actually "Guan Hongyu".

Since the two brothers had to fool a former colleague in the Force, they needed to make the two look like one person.

Even the scars on the face should be exactly the same.

In the process of handling the case, his brother Guan Hongfeng also suffered injuries on his face, and there was a scar four or five centimeters long on his right cheek.

With such a visible scar, it is simply impossible to hide it.

And his younger brother Guan Hongyu needed to pretend to be his brother at night, so he cut an identical scar on his face with a knife.

The brothers, in order to make the two look exactly the same, did not hesitate to cut scars on their faces.

Therefore, according to the setting of this drama, the appearance of the brothers when they travel needs to be exactly the same.

However, this is a TV series after all.

If the audience can't tell which is the older brother and which is the younger brother, it means that the protagonist is not acting well enough.

Therefore.

Fang Xing wants to perform the difference between the two characters with exactly the same appearance, so that the audience can recognize who is who at a glance.

For this.

A week before the start-up, Fang Xing and Lu Xianger often played a game at home.

Every time Fang Xing does something, he will use the state of one of the people in "Guan Hongfeng" and "Guan Hongyu" to do it, and then let Lu Xianger guess who it is.

At the beginning, Lu Xianger would guess wrong and guess his brother as his younger brother.

After trying for a few days, after Fang Xing grasped the state of the two characters more accurately, Lu Xianger rarely guessed wrong.

In fact, the personalities of Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu are still very different.

Guan Hongfeng is relatively calm, calm, and even a little gloomy, after all, he has been trapped in the self-blame of accidentally killing his teammates.

Guan Hongyu is an armed policeman, with good skills, a jumpy personality, refreshing, and likes fitness.

Since the personalities of the two characters are quite different, if it is just like this, it is relatively simple to act.

However, the script of this drama felt that it was not difficult enough, and continued to increase it.

The female forensic doctor "Gao Yanan" in the play is the girlfriend of her younger brother "Guan Hongyu", and she is pregnant.

However, "Guan Hongyu" became a suspect in the murder case, was pursued by the police, and had to hide and could not meet with "Gao Yanan".

"Gao Yanan" is pregnant, but her boyfriend is gone, and the pressure is very high.

According to normal people's thinking, at this time, you should consider whether you want to have this child.

"Gao Yanan" has been asking about the whereabouts of "Guan Hongyu".

Since "Kwan Hongfeng" is an adviser to the Force, he needs to assist the police in handling the case.

However, "Guan Hongfeng" couldn't go out at night.

Those who go out at night are all "Guan Hongyu" who pretends to be his brother.

Then when "Guan Hongyu" saw his girlfriend "Gao Yanan", he had to pretend that he was his brother "Guan Hongfeng" and couldn't recognize "Gao Yanan".

Therefore.

The male protagonist of this drama is ostensibly one person playing two roles, but in fact, one person plays four corners.

When at home.

The two of them are the elder brother and the younger brother, and they can be completely let go, and they are two people with very different personalities.

When you're outside.

Sometimes the younger brother has to pretend to be the older brother, and sometimes the older brother has to pretend to be the younger brother.

Therefore, Fang Xing needs to perform four different character states.

They are the elder brother, the younger brother, the younger brother who pretends to be the elder brother, and the older brother who pretends to be the younger brother.

Especially the state of the latter two characters, they need to be very accurate, and a slight deviation will make the audience unable to distinguish them.

Therefore, even if Fang Xing's acting skills are good, he also acted in front of the mirror at home for a week before he dared to start the film.

……

After the start-up ceremony, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" officially started filming.

The first scene is at home, filming the brothers weighing themselves.

Since two people have to pretend to each other, and they have to pretend to each other in front of former colleagues in the Force, the slightest difference will be recognized.

Therefore, the two must not only have exactly the same scars on their faces, but also have exactly the same weight.

The crew of Ark Culture is already very mature, so the set was completed early in the morning.

The first scene takes place indoors.

Fang woke up to the scene, first walked around the house of "Guan Hongfeng", pointed to the curtain and said: "This window is equipped with hundreds of shutters, and what about the fish raised here?" ”

In the play, "Guan Hongfeng" raised an African barramundi as a pet, and his name was "Tiger".

Fang Xing told the crew two weeks in advance that he should hurry up and find an African barramundi.

The assistant director hurriedly replied: "The one I looked for before, Director Fang thought it was too small, I asked people to find it again, but it will arrive tomorrow." Shoot first today, and make up a shot in the later stage. ”

When filming film and television dramas, similar shooting methods are common.

This is also part of post-production, and it's relatively simple to do, just write down the scene and where the post-production needs to be done.

"Where's the scale? Bring the scales and put them here. ”

Fang Xing pointed to a location on the ground.

The props team hurriedly picked up the body fat scale and put it on the ground.

Fang Xing stood up, tried it, and saw that the figure of 72.5 kilograms was displayed on it.

In the end, I still couldn't gain weight to 150 pounds, but 145 pounds is okay.

After inspecting the set.

Fang Xing sat down and began to put on makeup.

Since both "Guan Hongfeng" and "Guan Hongyu" have a scar on their faces, this scar needs to be added by the makeup artist.

A scar is just a trivial matter for special effects makeup artists in the film and television industry.

After getting it done, Fang Xing asked loudly: "Everyone has it, ready to start filming and playing the board." ”

Syllable!

The field notes report the number of the appearances.

Fang Xing was wearing a black long-sleeved dress, his expression was mature and steady, a bit like an old cadre, and a little gloomy.

With a blank face, he stood on the body fat scale, and then looked down to see the weight displayed on the scale.

This one is dressed up and plays "Guan Hongfeng".

In this scene, the two brothers take turns to weigh themselves, so after "Guan Hongfeng" is weighed, it will be the turn of the younger brother "Guan Hongyu".

However, both roles are played by Fang Xing, so his younger brother "Guan Hongyu" was not present, but Fang Xing wanted to continue to finish this part.

Fang Xing looked at his weight, maintained his posture with his hands in his pockets, took a step back, and got off the scale.

And at this time, it was the turn of his younger brother "Guan Hongyu" to get on the scale.

Of course, Fang Xing hasn't changed into the makeup of his younger brother "Guan Hongyu", so the younger brother "Guan Hongyu" in front of him does not exist.

Fang Xing waited for his younger brother "Guan Hongyu" to finish, and then there would be a dialogue.

Naturally, there was no dialogue, Fang Xing only said the sentence "Guan Hongfeng": "Gain weight." ”

After speaking, he walked away slowly.

After walking out of the painting, Fang Xing shouted "click", then sat down in front of the dressing table and began to change clothes.

Because his younger brother "Guan Hongyu" likes to work out and is relatively strong, he does not wear short sleeves like his brother at home, but wears a black vest and big pants on his lower body.

After changing clothes, the scene resumes.

Fang Xing was wearing a black vest, and the expression on his face was much more vivid, not like a poker face before.

This time, Fang Xing played his younger brother "Guan Hongyu", standing in front of the body fat scale, waiting for a while, then raising his hands to do a few chest expansion exercises, waiting for his brother to get off the scale, and then striding up and weighing himself.

According to the script, the elder brother weighed 73.9 kilograms, while the younger brother weighed 72.3 kilograms.

In other words, the elder brother weighs more than three pounds than the younger brother.

More than three catties is not a lot, but it is still a bit dangerous.

Fang Xing picked up an hourglass and said to his brother "Guan Hongyu": "It's time for you to do push-ups." ”

This is the younger brother asking the older brother to do push-ups to lose weight.

Because before, when his younger brother "Guan Hongyu" weighed more, he was ordered by his brother to do push-ups to lose weight.

However, this time my brother "Guan Hongfeng" came directly: "Gain weight." ”

This paragraph is quite interesting.

When his younger brother was heavier, his brother asked him to exercise to lose weight.

When the elder brother was heavier, the elder brother made the younger brother gain weight.

Fang Xing took the hourglass, revealing a very unhappy, but helpless expression.

"Click!"

The filming of this scene is over.

Fang Xing walked to the monitor, watched both performances, and then stitched together the two pictures in his mind, feeling not very satisfied, and started again.

Although I have been acting in front of the mirror for a week at home, there is still a difference between what I see in the mirror and what I see on the monitor.

When the camera is shooting, it is relatively far away, so when making expressions, the expressions need to be slightly larger.

Fang Xing repeated the filming three times, and then he was satisfied and announced the transition to shoot the next scene.

On the first day of filming, all the scenes were filmed indoors.

When it's time to handle the case, you need to shoot a lot of exterior scenes, so the indoor scenes have to be filmed together.

The scenes on the first day were still in the exploration stage, so the filming was relatively slow.

Fang Xing picked out the details little by little, stared at his performance, and occasionally asked the assistant director next to him: "Do you think you can tell the difference between the two roles?" ”

I asked this because Fang Xing was worried that he was preconceived, and at a glance, he knew that he was playing a younger brother or an older brother.

However, the audience watched it for the first time and didn't know the difference between the brothers, and it was hard to say if they could tell the difference.

The assistant director gave a thumbs up: "The acting is so good, really, this role can't be justified if it doesn't win an award." ”

……

"Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" was launched two days ago.

"The Darkling" is also on.

After filming for a few days, Fang Xing took advantage of the assistant director's filming on location to take a look at the crew of "The Darkling" to see how Zhang Yigao was filming.

After all, Zhang Yigao was born in the directing department, and he independently filmed an ancient puppet with good results before, and followed Fang Xing to shoot six hit dramas.

Experience, professionalism, and all the qualities that a director needs.

There is also Fang Xing to check the actors and scripts, and his ability is enough to control "The Darkling".

Fang Xing watched a few scenes and felt that the filming was not bad.

In the interval between the transitions, Fang Xing sat down and chatted with Zhang Yigao: "Good shooting." ”

"If Director Fang has any suggestions, just say it, I'll see how to adjust it." Zhang Yigao has filmed six dramas with Fang Xing, and has developed the habit of focusing on Fang Xing's opinions.

"It's all good, if you have any suggestions, you can give Guo Sanjin more room to play freely, shoot a few more different effects, screen them later, and find a performance to be the most interesting." Fang Xing said.

"Yes, I also think the same, Guo Sanjin has drama skills, in this drama, it is still an advantage, the role of Luo Fei is not like a normal person, it is quite suitable for him." Zhang Yigao replied.

In fact.

Guo Sanjin auditioned in Fang Xing's recommendation area, but Fang Xing didn't mean to install Guo Sanjin as the male lead.

After the audition.

Zhang Yigao also ran over to ask Fang Xing's opinion.

If Fang Xing decided to let Guo Sanjin play the male protagonist of "The Darkling", Zhang Yigao would not object to it, and would use it directly.

However, Fang Xing made it clear at the time: "You are the director of "The Darkling", I believe you have the ability to shoot well, so you just follow your own ideas, and use whichever actor you think is suitable." ”

Of course, if Zhang Yigao shoots the drama badly in the end, Fang Xing will definitely take over and reshoot.

This is Zhang Yigao's opportunity and a test for him.

If you don't shoot well if you have a chance, it's really not good.

Zhang Yigao knew this very well, and he later auditioned for a few more actors, but after the audition, he found that Guo Sanjin was indeed the most suitable.

After watching the footage of "The Darkling" in the past few days, Fang Xing was quite satisfied, and then returned to the crew of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" with confidence and continued filming.

The acting skills of the actors selected this time are not bad, only An Xiaoran is slightly lacking, but fortunately, she plays a college student who has just graduated from the police academy.

This role is very close to her own state, so it is not difficult to play.

"Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "The Darkling" are both suspense dramas customized for Pea Video's "Fog Theater".

This means that after the two dramas are launched, it will be a big gimmick to attract the audience to Pea Video.

Among the three major video websites, Penguin Video and Taro Video, if they want to compete for audiences, they naturally can't do nothing, so they also began to search for suspense dramas on the whole network.

However, among the suspense dramas to be broadcast, there is nothing particularly outstanding.

Penguin Video and Taro Video can only settle for the next best thing, choose scripts, and invest in suspense dramas to resist the offensive of Pea Video's "Fog Theater". (End of chapter)
