Chapter 0528 What a painful realization
"Very good! This one is passed! Others rest and the vampires prepare."
Director Zhao Chengwen clapped with great satisfaction and began to organize the shooting of the next set of shots.
The four people were released from the wires. Roger and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the props team helped to untie the wires, they smiled and high-fived and went to rest.
Han Lan's scene is not over yet, the next scene will be a scene of him fighting a vampire.
The demon sect demons are also about to appear.
At this point, it’s time to truly test the skill of the crew’s makeup team.
The devils in the movie practice all kinds of weird and weird skills, and they become inhuman and ghostlike, which makes it much more troublesome when putting on makeup.
When it comes to special effects makeup, you can’t go past the film mecca of Lighthouse Country. In various science fiction and fantasy blockbusters, the different characters often leave a deep impression on the audience. Many people are amazed by the professionalism of the film makeup artist team of Lighthouse Country
level, but in fact domestic makeup artists are also pretty good.
However, very few of them stay in China, and most of them work in the film mecca of the lighthouse country.
On the one hand, the salary there is indeed higher; on the other hand, domestic movies rarely use these weird special effects makeup. If you need it occasionally, just wear a mask. Why hire such an expensive makeup artist?
Moreover, special effects makeup is not only expensive for the makeup artist, but also for the materials used.
The cosmetics used in special effects makeup are different from the general cosmetics on the market. Special effects makeup materials have their own specialized manufacturers. It usually costs about 2,000 dollars to make a face often seen in movies, and the materials cannot be recycled at all. And a
The cost of a more exquisite special-effect face mask may be as high as tens of thousands of dollars. Other paints, brushes, makeup and makeup removal tools are also expensive consumables.
Tomahawk Entertainment's team of special effects makeup artists were all hired from overseas at a premium. After all, they make good money in foreign exchange. You can't just ask them to come back by saying "for the rise of domestic movies," right?
They were all dug out with real money.
There are also cosmetics for special effects. You can’t find good ones in China, so you have to buy them from abroad, which costs a lot of money.
However, the money is indeed not wasted. Movie makeup is the same as special effects. You get what you pay for.
The transformations made by demons from the devil's sect are really not like human beings nor ghosts, nor are they noble.
Especially the wild dog Taoist, with his droopy eyelids, abrupt nose, upturned ears, bright red lips, and a tongue sticking out from time to time. He has a sense of sight of a kobold. But it is different from the rough and direct body of a kobold.
His face still retains many human features. But this way it looks even weirder and more terrifying.
The vampire who will star opposite Han Lan next is also made up to look like a mummy, with terrifying fangs showing when he grins.
The props on the stone wall were all ready. As Han Lan finished applying makeup, Wia lifted him up again to take the shot.
"start!"
After hearing the director's instructions, all departments immediately started to act.
Han Lan also entered the state, waving the short black stick in his hand to block the "three magic weapons" that hit him, and then acted as if he had been hit hard. The wire team immediately cooperated and pulled him back.
With a "bang", the whole person hit the prepared stone wall, half of the person sank directly in, and stone debris flew everywhere.
A camera was hoisted by a crane to take a close-up of his face. He looked a little dazed, shook his head, took a breath in pain, and bared his teeth.
After all, my whole body was embedded in the stone wall, and my back must be in great pain.
But he still gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and pushed his body out of the stone wall with great difficulty. When he landed on the ground, his legs became weak and he almost fell.
Needless to say, Han Lan's acting skills, especially the scene where he pushed his body out of the stone wall, were very heart-wrenching to watch, as if he was cutting his own flesh with a knife.
The staff member behind the camera gestured to him, and he knew that the "three magic weapons" were coming towards him again.
He thought about the "three magic weapons" in his mind, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, waved the short stick in his hand and continued to block. He moved left and right, and used the art of controlling objects to control the black stick and fly up to fight them.
Of course, it is impossible to fly in reality. You just throw it away, then imagine the special effects, hold the seal and recite the incantation and continue the performance.
After a battle, Wia lifted Han Lan up again and began to fight in the air.
After a few back and forth gestures, Han Lan showed a hint of joy, then her face changed, as if she had been stabbed by something, and she looked down at her chest and shoulders.
"Okay! Okay, pause for a moment, props team!" Director Zhao Chengwen nodded with great satisfaction and called Wia to put Han Lan down first. The props team quickly went up with a small dark red fork and fixed it on Han Lan's chest and shoulders.
, simulating the effect of stabbing him.
Naturally, blood plasma and other things also need to be managed.
Everything was ready, and following the instructions of director Zhao Chengwen, Wia hoisted Han Lan up again.
Shooting continues——
Han Lan grunted in pain, stretched out her hand and tried to pull out the dark red fork, but her movements failed, and she looked up in shock.
As if a black shadow rises from the dark red cross, this special effect will be added later. Now Han Lan can only rely on his own imagination to perform.
A black shadow flashed behind Han Lan, and the camera paused again.
Wia put Han Lan down again, and then the actor who played the vampire also hung Wia and stood behind Han Lan, grabbing his shoulders with dry and dirty hands. In this position, the two of them were hoisted up again.
Continue shooting——
Han Lan acted dizzy, trying to shake off the demon clinging to her back, but her efforts were very weak, as if she had been poisoned.
"You brats from Qingyun Sect, you are asking for your own death. Just give me your blood and essence!" A sinister voice came from behind, and then he bit Han Lan on the left side of his neck.
"Ah..." Han Lan opened his mouth, but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he could only utter a weak and trembling scream.
The camera captured a close-up of his face, which was full of fear. His body twitched from time to time, and he began to show symptoms of blood loss.
Gradually, his eyelids began to become heavy. He closed them several times and then immediately held them up with difficulty, as if he was about to die.
The other actors in the rest area of the studio looked up at Han Lan's wonderful performance and secretly marveled.
Although I have seen Han Lan's acting skills several times in this period, I still can't help but be amazed every time I see this kind of scene.
The acting is so real!
