Director Feng responded with a smile: "Okay, you are the craziest young man I have ever seen. Hurry up, let's pull out a mule or a horse for a run!"
Precisely because they were shooting big scenes, there were more than one or two camera crews on site. While the previous group was filming, other groups had already made arrangements.
But the most calm person on the scene was Liu Qingshan. Not only was his attitude unhurried, but he also never showed any urgency when it came to makeup.
No, apart from putting on a hood and changing clothes after breakfast, he didn't even let the makeup artist do any modifications on his face. It wasn't until he walked towards the camera that he asked the makeup artist to apply a few touches on his face. foundation.
Moreover, the application of this foundation is not to show youthfulness, but to increase the sense of vicissitudes of life. Even Shagen is a plateau red. How can the protagonist still maintain the appearance of the mainland when he comes to the plateau area? Besides, it is not an idol drama.
In fact, Liu Qingshan's view is quite normal when it comes to other people's doubts about his acting ability.
Just imagine, he is from what is generally believed to be a wild child, and today's scenes are similar to those of sexual pleasure.
Let Ye Luzi go too far in his fun, but he himself is not such a person who goes too far, so some of the traces of his fun are a bit heavy, and there will be a tendency to do it deliberately.
Milk Tea's performance just now also used physical actions to enrich the characters. Her very emotional and immersive performance made Ye Luzi's performance feel a bit raw. Even Liu Qingshan worked very hard and really wanted to go. To interpret this role well, if he does not have full experience in characterization, it will be difficult for him to bring eye-catching surprises.
It is precisely because people generally come to watch with this mentality that the next moment after the makeup artist left, Liu Qingshan's sudden change in mental state caused many people to exclaim in their hearts.
Just because he took the first few steps, he perfectly embodied the image of a professional pickpocket who has been involved in side industries all year round.
He walked a few steps with no sense of warmth, and his seemingly well-prepared and arrogant attitude was hidden in his arrogant walking posture. Although he looked domineering, he was particularly inconspicuous among the many people passing by, as if he was just looking at him. An almost unusual presence that can be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
Of course, in reality, there is no such thing as a pickpocket who is obviously sneaky, but deliberately shows off himself. If there is such a person, it is not domineering, but there is something wrong with the brain.
However, Liu Qingshan plays this contradictory sense in which if you pay attention to him, his goal is obvious, but if you are not paying attention, it is difficult to feel his existence.
This unexpected performance method is the reason why people secretly exclaimed, because people obviously paid attention to him from the first perspective, but if they look at him from the perspective of passers-by, they feel that he has successfully completed it. The sense of self-invisibility that a pickpocket should have.
This first perspective is of course the feeling of the audience sitting in a theater watching a movie, but out of consideration for the protagonist's environment, observing the passers-by from his perspective, he suddenly discovered that the people passing by him were indifferent to his existence. The feeling is actually very strong.
This kind of highly contrasting audience sight is very strange. Ordinary people who are not professional will only feel that Liu Qingshan's performance has no trace of performance at all. No matter how he walks or expresses, he is very natural.
For the professionals at the scene, it can be seen that his performance is simply superb and harmonious with the scene environment.
Because what they see is the rationality of the actor's behavioral logic in the mutual reflection of character awareness and self-awareness.
Liu Qingshan's performance is a typical character behavior that is not stiff, natural and not artificial. The logic of this behavior is extremely consistent with the character design in the film, and the visual comfort it brings to people is also reflected unconsciously.
Moreover, the most important thing about such a character's personality and image interpretation is the degree of compatibility. Acting is very nihilistic. Only the fusion of the character and the actor can present such an obvious existence. If it is viewed from the perspective of a passerby, it will not be noticeable. The chic and freehand feeling.
Of course, it would be too exaggerated to perfectly portray the character's image through just a few walking movements. Therefore, Liu Qingshan's next movements made the onlookers not far away scream. .
Fortunately, today's scene is in a public environment, and it is impossible to copy the live sound source. What is finally shown is the background effect bonding after post-editing.
Therefore, as director Feng Zhigang, he only frowned after hearing the noise at the scene, instead of being furious as usual.
The reason is that he can understand it, just because Liu Qingshan's subsequent performance was too amazing. He was following a passerby and stealing the mobile phone hanging on his waist.
Naturally, the person who was stolen did not want to be a mere passerby like the others, but was played by an actor.
But even such a person, who knew that his cell phone would be stolen, was not aware of Liu Qingshan's hand movements at all.
Just because his action was not to reach out to take it, but when he was still more than a foot away from the phone, the phone in the phone case unexpectedly popped out. In the eyes of onlookers, it would feel like it It's like being sucked out by a suction force.
Of course, this kind of performance alone cannot reflect the respectability of the protagonist's professional skills. Then a strange rotation magically appeared at the foot of Liu Qingshan, which gave people the feeling that he was too crowded with people passing by. An evasive action when passing someone by.
This kind of body turning is normal on the streets where people usually come and go. The problem is that he has to take care of the stealing actions of his men at the same time.
As a result, when he turned around, his arm naturally swung following his movements, and at the right angle and timing, he caught the mobile phone in the air in the palm of his hand.
From the perspective of a bystander, the performance effect of this action is as if the phone flew into Liu Qingshan's hand by itself, rather than him reaching out to grab it.
Such a coherent and natural theft technique can naturally be presented through post-production special effects. However, the problem is that the reactions of passers-by who pass by him cannot be reflected realistically through special effects.
Because the passerby's expression and movement reaction were almost synchronized with Liu Qingshan's seemingly normal turn. When the man made the same avoidance, his hasty expression appeared, and he nodded and smiled back at Liu Qingshan's kindness. With a similar apologetic smile.
And just when the two of them passed each other as if two horses were riding at the same time, the mobile phone fell into Liu Qingshan's hand in a very clever flight path.
The key is that there is a lanyard at the end of the phone. During the flight, it touched the passerby's arm, and there was an obvious change in the direction of the rope.
This change is an effect that cannot be achieved in post-production, not because the technology is not up to it, but because the picture change of just a few frames only takes less than a tenth of a second to present, but requires several hours of decomposition, drawing and post-production synthesis. time.
Because these shots need to be played in slow motion to be displayed. A normal video is more than 24 frames per second. Slow motion is to increase the number of frames collected per second by 240 frames. It is to increase the collection volume of a normal 24-frame video by 10 times and play it back. When the time comes, it becomes to divide 1 second into 10 to play.
The cost of special effects production is calculated based on time. No production unit will spend a lot of money on a few unnecessary frames, and the cost is extremely high.
Or it can be understood that the screenshot of the mobile phone lanyard will not appear in the real special effects. Perhaps ordinary people cannot see the difference, but in the eyes of professionals, it will be a very detailed technical issue. , know how to judge the choice.
No one would notice this subtle change. Only Director Feng, who was squatting in front of the monitor screen, could clearly see the details of the performance.
This was why he understood that the crowd of onlookers had temporarily forgotten the previous set discipline and couldn't help but exclaim.
Because he knew best in his heart that the series of actions Liu Qingshan just made had sophistication and delicacy that could not be reflected by the high-tech special effects in the later period.
Most people may think that this action is the result of special effects, but he knows best, and professionals in the future can also analyze it. Liu Qingshan's action design today is completely improvised by him, and there is absolutely no consideration for later repairs. .
This was scary, so Director Feng couldn't help but have his own doubts: "This kid is really brave, but is it okay to use your superpowers in the movie? Aren't you afraid of criticism from the outside world?"
His idea was not groundless, it also came from his understanding of Liu Qingshan's special abilities.
But Liu Qingshan, who had just finished filming, obviously didn't know about the change in his heart. At this time, he was joking with the supporting actor whose phone had just been stolen.
The scene for him today is as follows: he can walk from east to west along a section of the Meridian Corridor, and arrange the plot of stealing a mobile phone in the process.
Due to the limitations of the occasion, it was not suitable for multiple reshoots. To ensure the success rate, not one or two extras were used to cooperate with him, but a full five.
They only need to follow the normal state of ordinary people when passing through the prayer corridor, and Liu Qingshan knows the location of the mobile phones on these people.
Moreover, during today's performance, he stole not one but two mobile phones. But at that time, Director Feng was distracted and muttering to himself about Liu Qingshan's audacity.
Therefore, no one knew anything about the second theft, which could only be seen through the slow playback of the surveillance screen, with no trace visible to outsiders.
Although Director Feng, who was distracted, did not call out in time, Liu Qingshan, who was performing, had already walked through the section of the corridor, and the filming task naturally stopped.
Director Feng only realized his dereliction of duty after being reminded by others. However, this mistake was nothing. As long as Liu Qingshan completed the journey according to the script and only needed the one shot just now, this one was actually considered a mistake. pass,
The two actors whose cell phones were stolen did not even know that the mobile phone cases on their waists were empty until the filming was completed. It was already the autumn season, and it got cold very early in the plateau area. The thick clothes on their bodies also affected their health. Response capability.
