my time as a director

"Clone No. 5, for the time being, is an ordinary person working on the moon. He has a wife and children, and is waiting for him to go home and reunite on the earth. He is a lonely but hopeful ordinary person. Defects, coupled with injuries, gradually weakened the body.

"Clone No. 6 also has a wife and child on Earth, and their wife and child are naturally the same person, but this clone has just awakened and is in good health."

"There are obvious differences in the physical condition of the two people, and they will have to wear makeup later. In addition, although they have been transplanted with the same memory as clones, one has been working on the moon for many years, and the other has just been activated. The two people's personalities It's completely different, and both sides know each other's identities."

......

Li Qian told them about the two characters and the general plot, and then gave them some time to think about it by themselves.

Watching Li Qian leave the conference room, the actors did not whisper to each other, and all their attention was on the thin paper in front of them.

The actor of a new movie directed by a director with a box office of over [-] million yuan, this kind of role is a huge temptation for any actor.

Not to mention reaching the sky in one step, at least it can make anyone take a big step forward.

Even Chen Kun and Liu Ye, who are the most famous, have never taken such an important role since their debut.

Chen Kun just finished filming Painted Skin. Although there are many roles, Donnie Yen is the absolute leading actor, and the salary of one person is more than the three of them combined.

According to the crew's official rankings, Donnie Yen is number one, Zhou Xun is number two, Chen Kun is number three, and Zhao Wei is number four.

The 8000 million-cost production of the second male lead is already the best role Chen Kun has ever taken over.

Although Li Qian doesn't know the cost of this movie, but because the last movie broke [-] million, it is more important than the painted skin.

Liu Ye is also in a period of transformation. He wants to transform from an art student to a tough guy on the big screen. For this reason, he has connected several gang boss roles. As long as he takes on the leading role of a big-selling movie, the transformation will be nothing.

These two leading figures of the Mesozoic Era are like this, not to mention other people, even they are not first-line actors, as long as they get this role, they will directly step into the first-line.

......

After more than an hour, they went on makeup auditions one after another.

"According to the previous composition, arrange a position for Chen Kun, based on the center of the conference table in front of me."

Li Qian added a light baffle between the lens and the photosensitive film, and instructed Su Lun.

"Alright Director Li."

Su Lun hurriedly arranged for Chen Kun a position where the two clones restrained themselves.

To see the effect of an actor playing two roles in the same frame, the most intuitive way is of course to take pictures directly.

This is not a clone. The two clones are completely different in personality, temper, tone of voice, and intonation. It can be said that they are all different except for appearance and memory.

This shot is where Clone 6 gets upset and says "how could I talk to a clone".

Then clone 5 was unwilling to admit that he was a clone, and emphasized three times that the other party was a clone.

It's a very simple dialogue, and there is no front-to-back frame in the movie, it is a front-to-back cut shot.

The audition is to see the effect of the same frame, two people are filmed in one shot, and there is no need to follow the script requirements.

There are many ways to shoot this kind of scene where one person plays two roles, and Li Qian shot it directly with a camera.

A board is added between the lens and the photosensitive film. Due to the blocking of the shutter, only a part of the film can be photosensitive. First, let the actors appear on the left side of the screen, playing against the air.

The right half will not be exposed to light due to the shutter. After shooting, the film is rewound to the original position, the shutter is moved to the left, the actor is switched to the right, and another character is played to continue shooting. The camera and the background remain in place throughout the process. move.

Shooting two actors facing each other in the same frame, but without physical contact, it is easy to shoot.

There are many methods, anyway, I just use the simplest one for the audition, and the film can be developed quickly. When shooting, I can choose different shooting methods according to the situation.

The one-day audition passed quickly, and each actor had to take seven or eight times. First, he painted the makeup of the frail clone No. 5, and then changed his makeup after the performance, and played the role of clone No. 6 on the other side.

After sending off the actors in the afternoon, Zhang Zhao took the film to the printing factory, developed and printed it, and then converted it into a digital image.

Early the next morning, the samples were delivered, and Li Qian watched their performances one by one in front of the computer.

In one morning, I watched more than 50 shots carefully.

There is no problem with their acting skills. More than half of these actors can win the best actor when they meet a suitable role. There is no need to worry about this.

But even the best acting skills must have the right role.

First of all, Duan Yihong was excluded. Even though he has acted in dramas for so many years, his face is too fierce, which cannot be changed.

Then there is Zhu Feng, Zhu Feng's face fits well with Clone 5, he just looks weak, but Clone 6 is much more inconsistent.

Pan Yueming and Li Qian remembered a TV series in which he played two roles, but he also couldn't support Clone 6.

Although the two clones are the main characters in this movie, No. 5 is the first to appear, and there is more space about him, which is actually relatively simple.

When Clone No. 6 appeared on stage, the audience had already got a little understanding of No. 5 who had the same appearance. It was actually more difficult to shape when there were fewer scenes, fewer lines, and the exact same appearance as the "protagonist".

Clone 6 didn't experience those three years of lunar life, and was more sane to begin with.

I have never experienced the feeling of waiting for three years, but hope is shattered when things come to an end.

Sometimes the simpler characters are more difficult to create, after all, No. 5's own experience is easy for the audience to enter.

Chen Kun's temperament is not suitable for playing ordinary people.

The same joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are expressed differently in people of different identities.

Clone No. 5 in the movie, apart from the identity of a clone, is an ordinary employee sent to a remote area, not an astronaut or the like.

In the background of the movie, technology is so advanced that it is already possible to land on the moon casually, otherwise the people sent by the company would not have arrived so quickly.

In fact, Huang Bo is the most suitable one, especially the clone No. 5. No. 5 is a very pitiful character and a perfect match.

But what about Huang Bo, his acting style has a characteristic, especially expressive.

As for the movie about the moon, both clones should be put away, and the overall style of the movie does not have a particularly obvious emotional catharsis.

As for Liu Ye, he is too tall. Height is not only a problem with other actors, but a height of about 1 meters is considered relatively tall in Hollywood. Most of them are between 84 and 1 meters. .

Just after filming the tough guy, the whole person has changed significantly compared to before.Tall and strong, it will be more obvious on the big screen.

Moreover, Liu Ye, who was an art student like Chen Kun at the beginning, has undergone tremendous changes in appearance and temperament.

After much deliberation, Li Qian finally chose Huang Bo.

Being more expressive can also add a little bit of laughter to the relationship between the two clones in the movie.

The two of them look exactly the same, have the same implanted memory, but have completely different personalities and tempers, which is a conflict.

If there is conflict, it will cause some jokes.
