This star’s style is wrong

It's mid-July, and "White Night" has officially started filming.

This time one person played two roles, and the other party woke up and said 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 in TV dramas, if one person plays two roles, there will be a contrast in appearance.

For example, in Xianxia dramas, it is very common for the protagonist to have his inner demon.

The inner demons are usually played by male actors.

At this time, we only need to add red eyes and a black aura to the inner demon in the special effects. The audience will know at a glance that this is the inner demon.

In this situation, it is not difficult for one person to play two roles. The actor just needs to act normally.

However, this is not the case in "White Night" at all.

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

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 needed to hide his younger brother's identity and hide his younger brother at home.

This is nothing.

When Guan Hongfeng was the captain of the criminal police, he accidentally killed his teammates in the dark, leaving a psychological shadow and suffering from dark phobia.

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

However, as a police consultant, you cannot go to and from get off work on a nine-to-five schedule.

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

However, Guan Hongfeng's phobia of the dark prevents him from going out at night.

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

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

For other characters in the play, the "Guan Hongfeng" seen during the day is the real "Guan Hongfeng", while the "Guan Hongfeng" seen at night is actually "Guan Hongyu".

Since the two brothers wanted to deceive their former colleagues on the police force, they needed to look like the same person.

Even the scars on their faces are exactly the same.

My brother Guan Hongfeng was injured on his face while handling the case, and there was a scar four to five centimeters long on his right cheek.

It was impossible to cover up such obvious scars.

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

The brothers went so far as to cut scars on their faces in order to look identical.

Therefore, according to the setting of this drama, the two brothers need to look exactly the same when traveling.

However, this is a TV series after all.

If the audience can't tell which is the elder brother and which is the younger brother, then the protagonist is not acting well enough.

therefore.

Fang Xing wants to play different roles in two characters with exactly the same appearance, so that the audience can recognize who is who at a glance.

to this end.

A week before the launch, Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er often played a game at home.

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

At the beginning, Lu Xiang'er would still guess wrong, guessing that her elder brother was her younger brother.

After trying for a few days, after Fang Xing got the status of the two characters more accurate, Lu Xiang'er rarely guessed wrong.

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

Guan Hongfeng is relatively calm, composed, 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, an outgoing and cheerful personality, and he likes fitness.

Since the personalities of the two characters are quite different, it would be relatively simple to act.

However, I felt that the script of this drama was not difficult enough, so I continued to make it more difficult.

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

However, "Guan Hongyu" became a suspect in the murder case and was hunted down by the police. He had to hide and was unable to meet "Gao Yanan".

"Gao Yanan" is pregnant, but her boyfriend is missing, and she is very stressed.

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

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

Since "Guan Hongfeng" is a consultant to the police force, he needs to assist the police in handling cases.

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

Everyone who goes out at night is "Guan Hongyu" pretending to be his brother.

Then when "Guan Hongyu" meets his girlfriend "Gao Yanan", he has to pretend that he is his brother "Guan Hongfeng" and cannot recognize "Gao Yanan".

therefore.

The male protagonist of this drama appears to be playing two roles, but in fact he is playing four roles.

while at home.

The two people are the elder brother and the younger brother. They can act freely. They are two people with very different personalities.

While outside.

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

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

They are an older brother, a younger brother, a younger brother pretending to be an older brother, and an older brother pretending to be a younger brother.

Especially the status of the last two characters needs to be very precise to control. If there is a slight deviation, the audience will be confused.

Therefore, even though Fang Xing was good at acting, he had to act in front of the mirror at home for a week before he dared to turn on the camera.

…

After the opening ceremony, the filming of "White Night" officially started.

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

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

Therefore, not only do the two men have to have the same scars on their faces, but they also have to have the same weight.

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

The first scene takes place indoors.

Fang woke up and arrived at the scene. He walked around Guan Hongfeng's house first, pointed at the curtains and said, "If this window is equipped with blinds, what about the fish raised in it?"

In the play, "Guan Hongfeng" keeps an African lungfish as a pet, named "Tiger".

Fang Xing told the crew two weeks in advance to quickly find an African lungfish.

The assistant director quickly replied: "Director Fang thought the one we were looking for was too small, so I asked someone to find it again, but it won't arrive until tomorrow. We'll shoot it today, and then add a scene and edit it in later."

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

This is also part of post-production, and it is relatively simple to do. You only need to write down the scene details and identify where post-production is required.

"Where's the scale? Bring the scale and put it here."

Fang Xing pointed to a place on the ground.

The props team quickly brought up the body fat scale and placed it on the ground.

Fang Xing stood up, tried it, and saw the number 72.5 kilograms displayed on it.

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

After checking out the set.

Fang Xing sat down and started putting on makeup.

Since both "Guan Hongfeng" and "Guan Hongyu" have a scar on their faces, a makeup artist is responsible for adding this scar.

A scar is just a small thing to a special effects makeup artist in the film and television industry.

After it was done, Fang Xing asked loudly: "Everyone is here, ready to start shooting and make plans."

Snapped!

The field recorder reports the field sequence number.

Fang Xing was wearing black long-sleeved clothes, with a mature and steady expression, a bit like a veteran cadre, and a bit gloomy.

He stood on the body fat scale with an expressionless face, then lowered his head to look at the weight displayed on the scale.

This dress is for the role of "Guan Hongfeng".

In this scene, the two brothers take turns to weigh themselves on the scale, so after "Guan Hongfeng" weighs himself, it is his younger brother "Guan Hongyu's" turn.

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

After reading the weight, Fang Xing kept his hands in his pockets, took a step back, and got off the scale.

At this time, it was the turn of his younger brother "Guan Hongyu" to step on the scale.

Of course, Fang Xing has not yet put on 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 saying "Guan Hongyu", and then there would be a conversation.

Naturally, there was no dialogue. Fang Xing only said the words "Guan Hongfeng" said: "Grow some weight."

After saying that, he walked away slowly.

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

Because his younger brother "Guan Hongyu" likes to exercise and is relatively strong, he does not wear short-sleeved shirts like his older brother at home. Instead, he wears a black vest and large pants on his lower body.

After changing clothes, the scene started again.

Fang Xing was wearing a black vest, and the expression on his face was much more vivid, unlike the poker face he had before.

This time, Fang Xing played the role of his younger brother "Guan Hongyu". He stood in front of the body fat scale, waited for a while, then raised his hands and did a few chest expansion exercises, waited for his brother to get off the scale, then stepped up and weighed himself. weight.

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 is more than three kilograms heavier than the younger brother.

Although more than three kilograms is not too much, it is still a bit dangerous.

Fang Xing picked up an hourglass and said to his brother "Guan Hongyu": "It's your turn to do push-ups."

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

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

However, this time, my brother "Guan Hongfeng" said directly: "Get fatter."

This section is quite interesting.

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

When his brother became heavier, he asked his younger brother to gain weight.

Fang Xing held the hourglass with a very unhappy but helpless expression on his face.

"Click!"

This scene is finished.

Fang Xing walked to the monitor, watched both performances, and then spliced ​​the two scenes together in his mind. He felt unsatisfied and started over again.

Although I acted in front of the mirror at home for a week, there was still a difference between what I saw in the mirror and what I saw 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 before he was satisfied and announced the transition to the next scene.

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

When it comes time to handle the case, a lot of outdoor scenes need to be shot, so the indoor scenes have to be shot together.

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

Fang Xing picked out the details bit by bit, staring at his performance, and occasionally asked the assistant director next to him: "Can you tell the difference between the two characters?"

The reason why he asked this was because Fang Xing was worried that he would be preconceived and would know at a glance whether he was playing the younger brother or the elder brother.

However, when the audience watches it for the first time, they don’t know the difference between the two brothers. It’s hard to say whether they can tell them apart.

The assistant director gave a thumbs up: "What a great performance. Really, it would be unreasonable not to win an award for this role."

…

It has only been two days since "White Night" was launched.

The Dark One is also on.

After a few days of filming, Fang Xing took advantage of the assistant director's filming on location to go to the "Dark Ones" crew to see how Zhang Yigao was filming.

After all, Zhang Yigao came from a directing background. He had previously independently filmed an ancient puppet with good results, and he also filmed six hit dramas with Fang Xing.

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

There is also Fang Xing who oversees the actors and the script, and he is capable enough to control "The Dark One".

Fang Xing watched a few scenes and thought they were pretty good.

During the transition, Fang Xing sat down and chatted with Zhang Yigao: "The filming was good."

"If Director Fang has any suggestions, just tell them directly and I will see how to adjust them." Zhang Yigao has filmed six dramas with Fang Xing and has developed the habit of relying on Fang Xing's opinions.

"They are all very good. If you have any suggestions, you can give Guo Sanjin more room to play freely, shoot a few more with different effects, and then screen them later to find the most interesting performance state." Fang Xing said.

"Yes, I have the same idea. Guo Sanjin has drama skills, which is actually an advantage in this drama. The role of Luo Fei is not like a normal person, so it suits him very well." Zhang Yigao replied.

actually.

Guo Sanjin was auditioned by Fang Xing's recommendation, but Fang Xing had no intention of placing Guo Sanjin as the male lead.

After the audition.

Zhang Yigao even came over to ask Fang Xing for his opinion.

If Fang Xing decided to let Guo Sanjin play the male lead in "The Dark One", Zhang Yigao would not object and just use it.

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

Of course, if Zhang Yigao fails in filming the drama, Fang Xing will definitely take over and reshoot it.

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

If you still can't take a good shot when you're given a chance, that's really bad.

Zhang Yigao knew this very well. He later auditioned several male actors, but after the audition, he found that Guo Sanjin was indeed the most suitable.

After watching the shots of "The Dark One" taken in the past few days, Fang Xing was quite satisfied, and then he returned to the crew of "The Dark One" and continued filming.

The acting skills of the actors chosen this time are all pretty good, only An Xiaoran is a little lacking. 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.

"White Night" and "The Dark One" are both suspense dramas customized for Wandou Video's "Mist Theater".

This means that after the two dramas are launched, they will be a big gimmick to attract viewers to Wandou Video.

Among the three major video websites, Penguin Video and Xiangtao Video, if they want to compete for viewers, they cannot do nothing, so they also began to search for suspense dramas across the Internet.

However, among the suspense dramas to be aired, none are particularly outstanding.

Penguin Video and Xiangtao Video can only settle for the second best, select scripts, and invest in suspense dramas to resist the "Mist Theater" offensive of Wandou Video. (End of chapter)
