The corpse does not require acting skills, and acting as a corpse is incidental to the identity of the victim.
Change into bloody clothes and lie on the ground. The camera does not capture your face here. Then wait for the leading actors to come over and inspect the scene, then put it in a body bag and be carried away.
If it were just a human form.
"It's a pity not to slap your face."
Gu Yi felt a little regretful.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
The injured part was on the head. After being hit many times with a blunt instrument, the head must have been badly damaged. In this world, there is no grading system in China. Even if it is filmed, it will not pass the review and will have to be deleted.
"Captain Liu is here."
"The crime scene was inside. There was a lot of blood in the living room. It was initially determined that the deceased was beaten to death with a blunt instrument."
Immediately afterwards, Team Liu entered the room.
After seeing the dead state of the deceased, he frowned deeply. A newcomer next to him directly covered his mouth and went to the toilet to vomit.
Then it was carried away.
Gu Yi acted very relaxedly and didn't move a muscle the whole time.
However, he was also thinking about the lines and tone spoken by the protagonists.
"These leading actors are very good. Although you can't see their expressions, their tone and lines are on point."
"The image of the detective is positive, but the veteran detective's lines must be steady. The new detective can show no discomfort, panic and resistance, but at the same time he must be persistent and cannot overact, because this is their duty. "
Gu Yi's scene was filmed three times in total.
The actor of the rookie detective is also a newcomer, and it wasn't until the third time that he fully developed his performance.
But the two veteran actors performed very steadily, and their performances were on point all three times.
After the filming, Gu Yi couldn't leave yet. He had to wait here until night to film the opposite scene.
Therefore, after filming this scene, they went to film the investigation and catching the murderer scenes. The locations were all in this residential building, but the floors were different.
First shoot the scene of catching the murderer.
The murderer also doesn't need any lines in this section, the evidence is conclusive, and the police come to arrest him directly.
It's just a capture shot and a face-showing shot downstairs before getting in the car.
The first shot is surprising, the second shot is indifferent.
The real highlight is in the evening.
So the filming here went very smoothly. It was completed at 11:30 in the morning. The crew gave the extra actors who played the role of melon-eating crowds a packed lunch, and then paid them to leave first.
In the afternoon, we filmed the investigation scenes of the protagonists.
Several residents are required to cooperate here, but these residents are all small and medium special ones, because each one has a line, ranging from one or two lines to more than a dozen lines.
During this process, Gu Yi was watching and learning.
"What? Interested?"
At this time, while waiting, the assistant director who had nothing to do wandered over to Gu Yi and asked.
"I study and learn from the performances of my predecessors. After all, this opportunity is rare."
The assistant director smiled and said: "It's good. Young people should study more. There is no harm in it."
The assistant director just said this to him, and then wandered off to another place.
Finally it was evening.
The filming of Gu Yi's scene officially started, and Gu Yi made a lot of preparations in one afternoon.
First of all, I wrote a character biography during the preparation stage of the leading actors.
For example, the victim named Yang Cheng was an office worker. He dragged his exhausted body home at night. As he walked in the corridor, he started thinking about what takeout to order at night. As a result, he was killed after returning home. The murderer who killed him... I delivered takeout to him once a few days ago, but the soup was spilled, so I gave him a bad review.
The advantage of writing a biography is that you can pay attention to many details.
For example, the first time I saw the delivery boy's face, I recognized him. In this way, he could have another mouth-opening action that was ready to come out. No lines were needed, just such a facial movement would be enough. This kind of role would be reasonable in It is okay to add small movements appropriately within the scope, because it is necessary to better reflect the character's personality.
But if ordinary background extras are added without the director's request, that would be crossing the line.
Different roles have different states.
There is a gap in this point.
However, just after Gu Yi finished getting ready, it was time to put on makeup.
The actor's makeup must be prepared in advance.
"Brother, you look a little nervous."
When the makeup artist asked to turn around, Gu Yi suddenly saw that the actor playing the murderer next to him was not in the right state.
"Yeah, it's the first time I've spoken so many words in a small special role. Although I had no problem with the audition before, now I have to say my lines in front of the camera. I'm a little nervous. I'm afraid of making mistakes and being scolded by the director."
"That won't work. You have to be more confident."
"Yeah, I'll try my best."
The makeup is done, and all the crew members are ready to take their places, and now they have to film the scene opposite the two of them.
But it was okay at first.
But every time he got inside the house and the murderer started talking, Fang Lin would yell "Ka".
Either I forgot my words or my emotions were not expressive enough.
As expected, this little special was scolded by the director.
"I'm sorry, director, can you give me another chance? I will definitely perform well." Xiaote begged while apologizing.
But once there is pressure in my heart, my performance will only get worse and worse.
Finally, Fang Lin became angry.
"Are you kidding me? That's not how you acted during the audition."
"So many people are waiting for you? How many times have I given you a chance? Can you do it?"
"I'm sorry, director, I'm too nervous."
"Nervous? When will you stop being nervous? Okay, don't act. My crew has limited funds and cannot afford to support a giant Buddha like yours."
"Director, give me one more time..."
"do not talk."
Fang Lin waved his hands impatiently, not wanting to look at the other person again.
The actor who played the murderer also knew that he had made a mistake. The director gave him a chance, but he failed to grasp it at all.
In the end, I had to say sorry again, then turned and left.
I don’t want to ask for money either.
Because his role was changed, it meant that the daytime scenes needed to be reshot by another person.
Since he couldn't make a living, he didn't have the nerve to ask for money.
But now this role is vacant.
"Director Fang, what should we do now? Do we need to find another one?"
Fang Lin: "You can find it, but this murderer has a lot to show. I can't put it down and go shoot other things first. It's too troublesome to go back and forth. People and equipment have to be moved, and we rented the whole place." Two days later, other crews will come over, and we will have to rearrange the scene."
The assistant director was also in a bit of trouble.
Because it is his job to find this kind of actor, and he cannot transform a suitable actor out of thin air.
But just when he was in trouble, something suddenly occurred to him and he looked at Gu Yi.
I thought to myself that this guy also has some acting skills, and he seems very calm and comfortable when facing the end. Now it's troublesome to find someone, so why not...
So, he called Gu Yi.
"Can you play this murderer?"
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment.
What's this?
A role dropped from heaven?
But the opportunity was rare. He had been beaten to death more than ten times, and he had already learned the murderer's tricks by heart.
"I can act!"
Gu Yi nodded heavily.
"Okay, you try it first."
Afterwards, Gu Yi performed it again. He combined the contents of the script and the details that Director Fang just cursed with, and cooperated with the designated staff here.
"It's okay, there are a few minor flaws, but nothing major."
Director Fang commented.
In the current situation where there is a shortage of people, Gu Yi can take over.
Seeing Director Fang speaking, the assistant director also took Gu Yi aside: "Have you brought your ID card? You need to sign a contract to play this role. We also need to file it. You have to provide your ID card."
Gu Yi was shocked.
"Is your identity about to be exposed?"
But now that the opportunity was rare, Gu Yi finally took out his ID card.
The assistant director took it and looked at it with a meaningful expression.
"Have you hidden it well enough to pretend to be your own substitute?"
