"Uncle Qiang, your makeup skills are really good. I look at least ten years older." Huang Baiyou looked at his hair that was dyed gray, and the lines around his eyes and neck were particularly obvious.

"Detective" has a strong cast, and the behind-the-scenes cast is no less impressive. The makeup artist Uncle Qiang is also well-known in the industry. In the early 1990s, he represented the game technology of the Hong Kong film and television industry in an exchange competition with Hollywood special effects makeup artists. Who will win the competition? It doesn’t matter who wins or loses.

"Your face is very malleable. If you outline your brow bone, it will become strong, or if you narrow your cheekbones, your image will become weak." Uncle Qiang said, "The big ones I met Most actors are not very photogenic, and they look much better in daily life than on camera. You are just the opposite, and you can show a different temperament in the camera."

"Listening to this description, it sounds a bit like the movie face that is currently being pursued? However, the Internet summarizes that movie faces should be smaller, and my big face is not an advantage." Huang Baiyou answered with a smile.

His neck is a bit stiff because he can't move his face yet, and Uncle Qiang is gluing his beard on. Huang Baiyou completed his work assignment in April, but he also has to travel occasionally during the preparation period, and his facial makeup and styling need to be carefully taken care of, so he can't grow a beard. .

This is not the first time Huang Baiyou has played an older role. Lu Yi is in his thirties, and Xiao Du is also in his mid-thirties.

In the previous movie Nankai Sanjuro, the character was played from a young man to an old man. For this purpose, he also had to observe the posture of the old man. However, the above-mentioned makeup is slightly different from this time.

"I don't surf the Internet very much, so I don't understand the definition of movie face in the current fashion circle." Brother Qiang said, "But my definition of movie face is a face that is open and imaginative. It can be a passerby or an elite. It all depends on the script. Require."

A face that is open and imaginative without sounding like a compliment.

"Then I still decisively choose to believe Uncle Qiang's statement. Also, why doesn't Uncle Qiang deepen the nasolabial folds? This is usually the case with old makeup."

"Your face can hang on to your skin. Even if you are more than ten years older and your collagen is lost, you will not have too obvious splay lines. So it doesn't mean that you don't have makeup. It depends on your bones and you can't just deepen it casually. That doesn't look like a makeup artist. This craft is so unskilled.”

The two of them were chatting and applying makeup. The crew of Xiangjiang all have the same characteristic, that is, fast!

When Huang Baiyou entered the makeup studio, the tracks and lights had not yet been laid. When he finished his makeup and came out to take a look, various departments had already begun to do the final inspection work in an orderly manner.

"A decent commander, Uncle Qiang's makeup skills are still good." He Ping'an, played by Xiang Baorui, is the subordinate of detective Matthews in the film.

The story of the movie begins when He Ping'an encounters a problem and comes to seek advice from Matthews, who is "on leave".

"Brother Xiang, will calling him this in private help your acting?"

Since he burned incense and worshiped the gods, he called Baorui "sir", so Huang Baiyou asked this question.

"Try to fit the character as much as possible. It will help a little, but not much." Xiang Baorui said, "Sir, you can also try it."

It is a good shooting habit to enter the relationship between the characters in the play early, but Huang Baiyou drank ice water after filming and left the scene, so there can be no mistakes.

Huang Baiyou said: "The method is a good method, but it is not suitable for me."

"There's no harm in giving it a try." Xiang Baorui said again.

"It's hard for me to play, so I don't want to do it anymore," Huang Baiyou said.

This young man was a bit stubborn and unwilling to try new things. Xiang Baorui thought to himself, but he didn't urge him anymore. If he didn't try, the other party would suffer anyway.

After another casual chat, Huang Baiyou was approached by screenwriter Ju Xilei and stopped talking.

Xiang Baorui didn't like to be alone. Being alone in a crowded place would make him uncomfortable, so he turned to an acquaintance to continue chatting.

"Kuai Zai seems to be in good spirits, has he hit the horse again?" Xiang Baorui said. It is normal for people in Xiangjiang to like buying horses. It is news if they don't like it.

"What the hell, I just want to finish the photo as soon as possible. Things at home are a mess." Ning Jie was weak, his facial expression full of impatience.

Thinking of the recent news that has caused a stir, Xiang Baorui asked, "The divorce has not been settled yet?"

"I didn't do it well. I don't know what that woman was thinking. She actually wants to fight for custody rights with me. Do you know who makes the money in the family?" Ning Jie was indignant.

Xiang Baorui didn't want to hear about the couple's quarrels, so he gave a vague comfort.

"It's better to take a rest." Xiang Baorui reminded.

"Fortunately, my mental state is fine. That damn bitch can file a lawsuit if she wants." Ning Jie's face was full of indignation. He changed the subject, "How is Huang Baiyou's acting skills? Do you know?"

"Very beautiful, one of the top mainland actors in terms of acting skills." Xiang Baorui praised.

"Can you tell me how big the gap is? I asked if we could shoot a quick scene." Ning Jie said, "I hope I won't be a troublemaker and finish filming as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Xiang Baorui felt that Ning Jie's temper was quite different from before. As a gold medal green leaf, he had always had a good temper, but now...it had only been a year or two without cooperation, so why had he become so impatient.

"Just stop the conflict." Xiang Baorui thought to himself.

The first scene in a Hong Kong film usually features the protagonist, but in order to get off to a good start, Wei Zhuang chose a more familiar actor.

Today's first scene is a scene between Xiang Baorui and Ning Jie. In the restaurant, investigator He Ping'an investigates the suspected policeman Gao Tong.

"It seems like I'm a bit marginalized in the crew?" Huang Baiyou is very sensitive to the surrounding environment.

Most of the characters in the play are a little "ostracized" towards him. This kind of rejection is not sarcastic remarks. On the contrary, because of his current status, they are all polite to him. It is just a rejection of him and never communicate with him except when necessary. .

Just film the scene and that's it. I'm not here to make friends anyway, Huang Baiyou thought.

An actor's self-cultivation, Huang Baiyou's habit when he doesn't have his own role is to watch other people's performances to see if he can learn something from them.

"Fortunately, we only filmed for more than a month, otherwise I would have gone crazy." Wu Xiaoxiao, the life assistant, said to herself. She was very hurt by the crew's distant attitude when she went to fetch water.

What’s amazing is that our boss Huang’s acting skills are insane. When Wu Xiaoxiao caught sight of the artist’s eyes glancing at her, he immediately handed over the thermos cup, which was a very tacit understanding.

This scene was quite difficult. Xiang Baorui and Ning Jie were able to achieve the desired effect in just one shot.

He Ping'an, played by Xiang Baorui, has an image of an aggressive and upright police detective. This scene must portray the attitude of "I know there's something fishy about you, don't pretend."

Another Ning Jie's acting skills are also very eye-catching, performing the attitude of "I'm a good policeman, why do you doubt me?"

When the two played against each other, Ning Jie suppressed Xiang Baorui... Anyone who often acts should know that acting is not about who suppresses the other. Ning Jie's performance was a bit strong, regardless of the life and death of his opponent.

The presentation effect is still good, otherwise Wei Zhuang would not have been able to shout, but it is not so strong. The cooperation between the two parties will have better performance. The above is Huang Baiyou's opinion.

In today's second scene, the detective played by Huang Baiyou led He Ping'an, played by Xiang Baorui, to follow the suspect police officer Gao Tong to a restaurant.

There are many characters named Ping An, Jia Ping, Jia An, and Jia Tai in Hong Kong movies, but characters with these names basically don’t end well in the movies.

"Sir, it's up to you. If you cooperate well and play well, I won't be able to eat more than a few bowls of rice." Xiang Baorui said.

Because there is a scene in this scene where He Pingan, played by Xiang Baorui, eats fried rice. If he NGed too many times, he would vomit after eating.

Director Xiangjiang is very fast in some movies, but also very crazy in some places. The McDonald's on earth almost drowned a child, but the actors have to eat really hard no matter what, and they have to eat when they can't eat, which is one of the representatives of crazy.

start--

Detective Matthews, played by Huang Baiyou, is staring ahead. The front is actually a camera, but he wants to show the feeling of observing the suspected police officer.

After reading the script of "Detective", there are good reasons to say that Matthews is schizophrenic, but there is also sufficient plot support that Matthews has special powers and can see people's hearts.

So Huang Baiyou's gaze was strange, it felt like he was looking through the skin and into the heart.

"Go over and have a chat with him." The detective played by Huang Baiyou didn't move his eyes away at all.

"...Okay." Xiang Baorui took two more mouthfuls of rice, stood up and walked out of the camera.

At this time, there is another shot of Xiang Baorui walking up to Ning Jie, and the audience will subconsciously think that these two shots were shot at the same time, but they are actually two scenes one after another.

One pass.

It was very comfortable. Xiang Baorui felt that he worked well with Huang Baiyou. When Huang Baiyou was speaking his lines just now, Huang You leaned forward slightly, which fit the character, but also reminded him.

It's much more comfortable than acting with Ning Jie. To be honest, if Xiang Baorui hadn't been more experienced than Ning Jie and kept covering up the performance, he might have failed more than once just now.

Two outstanding people should not let one side take the blame, but should let each other work together to achieve success. This is Xiang Baorui's view.

The filming crew of Xiangjiang gets off work at 9:30, so they are still filming even though it is dark. The lighting team has already set up the lights. It is normal for Xiangjiang to be busy working on night shooting days.

"The acting is really good." Huang Baiyou looked at a one-man show and praised it.

Right now -

"After about five hours of waiting, a white van showed up and a man got out."

"We suspected that he was the suspect who stole the iron lid. It was too dark at the time and I couldn't see the suspect's face clearly."

"When I wanted to get out of the car and chase him, he ran into the woods..."

This scene is a one-man show by Ning Jie. He plays Gao Tong, who is investigating the case at the police station when his patrol partner disappears.

"Okay, get ready for the next scene." Director Wei Zhuang moved very quickly.

The reason why Hong Kong films can be shot so quickly is that "actors are allowed to express their personality." Wei Zhuang is a famous director of Hong Kong films and can fully demonstrate the actors' abilities.

Huang Baiyou was thinking thoughtfully on the sidelines. There was something wrong with this scene. Ning Jie's expressiveness was too strong, and the actor's too strong expressiveness was good or bad for the character, and it was bad at the moment.

Because he had just killed his colleague Wang Shangzhu and was facing interrogation at the police station, the character Gao Tong could not have such strong confidence.

After all, he is an adult and needs some emotional intelligence, so Huang Baiyou did not immediately question that not everyone is as good as Director Wei Ming and can talk about the drama.

Huang Baiyou missed again, chatting with Director Wei Ming for dozens of minutes.

When the crew was taking a break at noon, Huang Baiyou met actor Ning Jie privately. He had just hung up the phone with his agent, who was urging him to resolve the divorce dispute quickly. Entertainment gossip was flying everywhere.

"Smoke one?" Huang Baiyou specially bought a pack of cigarettes. Although he smoked a lot when playing Xiao Tu, he didn't smoke every day.

"Yeah." Ning Jie squatted, thinking of what happened yesterday, and apologized, "I was in a hurry to get the lucky bag yesterday, so I didn't pay attention to say hello."

"It must be important to pay homage to Guan Gong and get a lucky bag." Huang Baiyou didn't care.

Huang Baiyou also accompanied him. Halfway through the draw, he said, "Brother Ning performed really well. Can you tell me about the idea of ​​​​the performance just now? I can learn from it."

Ning Jie is forty-four this year, Huang Baiyou is less than thirty, so there is no problem in calling Sheng Ge.

"Oh just now..." Ning Jie opened his mouth to start talking, but suddenly came back to his senses, put out the remaining cigarette, and looked at Huang Baiyou.

"Teacher Huang, do you have any advice on acting?"

Bad news, only one update today.

Good news, it has been straightened out and updates can be resumed tomorrow, so everyone is worried.

It feels like Daju is living a second life!
