red dust upside down

Although Su Rong is full of confidence, it is not easy to do the art design of the whole movie.Fortunately, there are still professionals on the set props side, and Yi Zhan is also very fast. At first, he thought it would not be so smooth——Pei Yin's apprentices are very powerful now, and the two he wants to invite are those who can handle their own affairs Yes, especially Bobby, who made a self-media, and got mixed up in the circle of Internet celebrity beauty bloggers.He is skilled and smooth-talking, and has millions of fans, making him the No. 1 professional.Moreover, he was clever, knowing that he was acting as Vincent's grandson, and he joined everyone to brag about Vincent, which made Vincent even a hot search. Fortunately, Pei Yin was not around, otherwise he would definitely be beaten.

But this time Bobby came as soon as Su Rong called, and Huang Lei said, "He definitely wants to be a makeup artist for BOSS."

Li Shang's makeup artist position is known to the whole entertainment industry, so some time ago, his style was often changed. Since his studio became a subsidiary of Baili Media, he is now even more popular. He coughs and analyzes three The implication is that some marketing accounts said that he was a brilliant move and praised a small composition. Huang Lei couldn't help laughing, so she directly transferred to the group.

In fact, Huang Lei didn't hint at it, she made it clear that she would come to see Su Rong cut clothes every day, and said, "Brother Rong, why don't you come back and be a makeup artist for BOSS."

Su Rong originally wanted to go back to make clothes. The makeup artist is fine without a studio, but the costume artist is really not good. There is no big table to line up.He handed over the clothes of the supporting actors to other people. Bobby has been outside for a long time, and often does TV dramas. He wanted to be lazy at first, but Yi Zhan finished a whole set of Mingguang armor in one night, brought it to the crew, and everyone watched, because it is really beautiful and solid armor. Using colorful ropes, when the sun shines, they are brilliant and heavy, almost [-] kilograms, and they can't be lifted with one hand. Even Xiao Su was attracted when passing by, and even picked them up.

These are not the clothes of the main character, not even the main supporting role. They belong to one of Li Ke's personal soldiers. There are only two or three shots, and the rest are just background panels.

With Yi Zhan doing this, the rest of the crew can only bury their heads and work hard. Bobby is the most pitiful. On the first day, the crew even put on full makeup, using pumpkin plates for eye shadow, and they are radiant.In a few days, I got unkempt, and I didn't have time to wash my hair.Yang Shaoshan still gave Vincent face, and the handover was not bad, but the progress was too late. Li Shang was physically strong. After filming the assassination scene in three days, the crew was exhausted from martial arts, and he was fine.So I went on to film the scene of the ruined temple. After the filming of the ruined temple, there were not many clothes that were ready, and according to Xiao Su's intention, the next scene was to shoot the scene of hitting the gods.

After reading the script, Su Rong knew why Yang Shaoshan couldn't continue.These days, Xiao Su often came to visit Li Shang after the show, and the two of them didn't chat, they just drank and watched movies, and occasionally said a few words, but what they said was quite interesting.For example, Lango's scene was inspired by the Japanese Hyakki Yakō, and Su Rong even searched for Hyakki Yakō, and was terrified.But I also heard that Xiao Su didn't like Lango's original novel very much, it was purely the subject matter designated by Boyi.

Chen Sheng, the screenwriter of Xiao Su's movie, has read a lot of books. Su Rong didn't read the script because he thought it was just dialogue and description.But Chen Sheng's script is even more exciting than the original novel. He almost rewrote the whole story, especially the part about the collision with God, which is too scary. Coupled with Xiao Su's storyboard, it is simply a horror movie.

Xiao Su's storyboards are few but precise, but he drew three pictures in a row for this scene, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.Chen Sheng's writing is also good. He chatted with Xiao Su on the set and said that China's ghost culture has a much longer history than Japan's.

They all pay attention to it, but Yang Shaoshan can't help it. He and Vincent are actually more commercialized. It is too difficult to create their own creations if they just look at and imitate traditional culture.This time, all the evil gods in the collision have to search ancient books, and there are no pictures. At most, there are some water and land paintings, all of which have to be created out of imagination. It is really a big project.When Su Rong took it, he had just started, and the rest were all fragmentary information.

He wanted to play tricks, and collected all the customary costumes that worshiped Mazu along the coast of Fujian. There was no other way. The only traditional culture that people can come into contact with now is these, temple fairs, and weddings and funerals. The remaining fragments, the stall that Su Rong took over is a jigsaw puzzle, or the kind where only a dozen or so pieces were put together out of tens of thousands.

Su Rong thought about this mess for a long time, and finally decided to overthrow everything and start over.Of course, it is still recreated on the ancient prototype. Wen Yizhan got a few pictures of ancient paintings, all of which are the twelve gods of Tai Sui drawn by the ancients. This basically imitates the Nuo opera in Nuo culture.The masks and headgear in the Nuo opera have a horror of evil spirits, and all the clothes are designed by himself. He even took the time to call Vincent and asked: "Master, I remember that I was scared when I went to the theater with you when I was young. Jump, what kind of play is that?"

"That time in my hometown?"

"Ah."

"That's not a play, it's our Chaoshan English song and dance. Why, do you want to use that in the movie? The facial makeup and clothes are too dramatic..."

"I know, I remember the drum beat was good."

"You are engaged in art design, what are you doing with the drums? Didn't Xiao Su invite a Japanese soundtrack master this time?" Vincent was well informed anyway.

"Hey, I'll do it first, and I'll tell you when I'm done."

Su Rong wasn't sure yet at this time, but had a rough idea. As a result, Xiao Su ran over to watch the movie at night and brought the screenwriter Chen Sheng with him. Only then did Su Rong know that he was actually going to hold a small meeting for the audience. he inspired.

After watching three movies in a row, they were all horror movies, and watching the classic episodes, especially the one about the Silent Hill nurse, Su Rongren was frightened silly.At that time, the protagonist had to pass through a group of stiff and immobile monster nurses. As long as they made a sound, they would twitch and wield the scalpel to kill each other. Chen Sheng still had a leisurely comment: "This drama seems to invite professional dancers, and the physical performance Power is good."

"I also hired dancers for the scene of the collision." Xiao Su said lightly.

It took a while for Su Rong to realize that he was talking to herself, and quickly said "oh".

The picture on the screen was still horrifying, he thought about it carefully, and then asked Xiao Su: "Director, what should this section be called?"

"Which paragraph?"

"The part where the protagonist passes through the nurses, even though the nurses don't move, is scarier than being chased by monsters..." he tried hard to describe.

"This is dramatic tension. The core of horror movies is actually abnormal." Xiao Su didn't understand, Li Shang understood what he asked first.After answering with a smile, he took him over, kissed him, and scolded Xiao Su: "What kind of horror movie do you watch, my sister is frightened by you."

"I didn't." Su Rong retorted in a low voice.

But he was really frightened. He didn't even dare to close his eyes when he rinsed off the shampoo foam in the shower at night, for fear that he would fall into the other world as soon as he closed it. jumped.Fortunately, Li Shang has been whistling outside, and the tunes he played were still very cheerful. Su Rong knew that he knew that he was thin-skinned, so he deliberately let himself know that he was outside.

It's okay at night, because Li Shang is here, the suite is not good, it's too big, Su Rong got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, ran back like a war, got into the quilt, and laughed when he heard Li Shang pretending to be asleep beside him sound, and punched him angrily.

"Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world." Li Shang smiled and patted his back, like coaxing a child.

Su Rong was still stubborn at this time: "I'm not afraid, it's just a few bad movies."

"Oh? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have stopped Xiao Su from releasing the Shining Spirit."

Although Su Rong didn't know what the Shining Spirit was, she knew it must be powerful.He never watched horror movies, Pei Yin and the others dared to take him to play cards, but they didn't dare to take him to watch ghost movies, otherwise Vincent would definitely play.One is that Su Rong is really timid, and the other is that Vincent's way of raising children is very traditional, and he always feels that children will not grow up if they are frightened.So Su Rong didn't have any psychological shadows since she was a child, and she didn't feel afraid when she ran around in Huatian. Huang Lei and her group of girls used to like to watch horror movies, but they were afraid to watch them again, and they would pull him every time, but he never went.

"Hmph, then let Xiao Su let go."

Li Shang laughed and said, "Xiao Su dare not let it go."

"why?"

Li Shang hugged him tightly with a smile, buried his face in his neck, and said with a smile, "Because if I frighten my sister, I will be very angry."

Su Rong snorted in disgust, but she was actually lucky to have escaped.He also knew that Xiao Su kept his hand. Huang Lei and the others used to say that Japanese-style horror is the real horror. Li Shang said that fear comes from the unknown, which is actually true. Nothing is worse than a dark deep water or having to go through a cloud of fog. It's scary, there are many such foggy existences in Asian culture.As long as he does well enough, it must be scarier than the Silent Hill scene.

His theory is clear, but it's a pity that when Li Shang left during the day, he didn't dare to stay in the room anymore, so he went upstairs to find Yi Zhan.He didn't go out to build a studio, so the entire art department stayed in the hotel, even the machines were sent over, and a big room was used as a studio.Su Rong is mainly responsible for the concept design, similar to a supervisor, sometimes he does not come up for a few days, this time he directly relies on it.They stayed all day, and ate meals with them, and he followed Yi Zhan wherever he went.

Seeing him like this, Yi Zhan immediately made a guess: "What's wrong? Are you secretly reading ghost stories again?"

Su Rong only said no, and concentrated on sitting opposite him to draw the design drawings, and waited for Li Shang to come up to pick him up after filming at night. Anyway, Yi Zhan, a workaholic, was here 24 hours a day, and there was no safer place in the entire hotel than this.

It is said that healers cannot heal themselves, but the designs of ghosts and gods made by people who are afraid of ghosts are surprisingly scary. A whole team of gods and demons are designed by him. The deification of Tai Sui used masks from Nuo opera to make facial makeup. The oil paint of opera is too bright Yes, the color scheme he used was copied from the statues in the temple, and it feels like a King Kong glaring.Surrounded by eight small gods with green faces, all of them were dressed in brilliantly embroidered official uniforms, making them even more terrifying.

Originally, Xiao Su thought this design was normal, but Su Rong told him: "Director, can you make an effect that is twice as big as a normal person?"

"Twice as big?"

"Yes, in traditional culture, gods are inherently taller than humans. The masks, headgear and stilts in Nuo dramas are all for this effect, and what Li Shang said is right, abnormality brings a sense of horror, making these evil spirits more powerful than human beings. The people are twice as big, and they are driving in the mountains and forests like Hundred Ghosts at Night, the protagonists bump into them head-on, dare not move, stand in the middle of the road, and let the team of fierce gods pass by them slowly, how about it?"

He described it as too plain, but in fact, the picture in Xiao Su's mind at that moment was hundreds of times more exciting than this, and he even thought of how to shoot in the camera.

"If you want to zoom in, you may need motion capture."

"But in terms of motion capture, if you want to use special effects to make the evil spirit, it would be too fake. Can the evil spirit use real people, and the actors use special effects?"

Chen Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard it beside him: "Use real people for the supporting role, and special effects for the main character?"

"It's not impossible." Xiao Su said lightly: "Like a special film, both sides are shot by real people, and the size difference is made in the later stage, but you still have to prepare props that are several times larger than normal people. Shots where the main character is trapped in a team of gods and demons."

It's no wonder that Lin Sa didn't want to talk to him, he really didn't like to give any explanations, Su Rong was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he had passed.Quickly said: "Okay, I will do it with stilts."

It was still dusk on the day of filming this scene, and Chen Sheng said next to him that it is a Japanese concept to meet the devil at dusk, and Su Rong was only nervously busy.But he doesn’t need to do anything, Yi Zhan is in charge of props, Bobby is in charge of makeup and costumes, he is only in charge of the final pass, the assistant director comes up to talk about the positioning, the actors have already rehearsed twice, and when the lighting is adjusted and the actors go on stage, he is so nervous I feel a little sick to my stomach.

The first shot is a long shot, with dusk light, Xue Man and Xiao Yu fled to the forest, and sat under a big tree to rest. This shot shows a team appearing in the woods far away, just like Li Guochang’s Jiedushi’s team It looks gorgeous and well organized.

They thought they had bumped into an official, but when they looked closely, they were horrified.The leader of this team is dressed like Bai Wuchang, holding a mourning stick in his hand, and waving paper money. Behind him is the mourning gate god who looks like a mourning girl, and then the green-faced ghost, and the Taisui God holding a sword...

Xiao Su took this shot at dusk, it is wonderful, there is no better light than this, the whole sky is covered with a layer of dim yellow color, and the woods are also blurred. A strange team of evil gods slowly approached, even without the music bonus, it still makes people sweat.

Seeing that no one dared to speak on the set, Su Rong knew that the effect was good. In order to create an atmosphere and the rhythm of the team, Xiao Su used traditional drumbeats, beating the drums up and down, and the team walked along silently and orderly. The road came slowly.It is written in the script that Xue Man and Xiao Yu couldn't dodge in time, so they could only stand back to back in the middle of the road, one holding a sword, and the other tremblingly chanting with closed eyes. in the ranks.Both Chen Sheng's script and Xiao Su's storyboard stated that they wanted to shoot a scene where the clothes of the Tai Sui God brushed against them.

Because of Su Rong's proposal to magnify the figure of Shen Sha, the camera turned into Tai Sui God's clothes and brushed over Xiao Yu's face, using a stilt actor, Bobby put on makeup early, and scaled up proportionally, not only the height, but also the clothes The shoulders and arms were all padded, and the head was covered with a hood. It was three or four meters high. When this appearance came out, Li Shang took a look at the actor.

Su Rong knew he could see it.

Lin Sa talked with him about aesthetics and human senses in the dormitory, saying that adults are actually getting duller, because they repeat the same work and see the same things day after day.This is also the reason why fashion has such a strong timeliness. Even the best things get tired of watching for a long time.In fact, as long as you change the angle, like in "Dead Poets Society", stand on the table and look at the classroom again, you can find many different discoveries.Therefore, if they want not to be left behind by the times, in addition to diligently following and chasing fashion, it is more important to maintain this keen perspective, always have a fresh perspective that is different from others, and see what most people see. less than something.

It's not for nothing that Su Rong chose him as his role model.He earnestly imitated Lin Sa, and this look is one of the best practices.Modern people are addicted to various screens, and are very unfamiliar with being in the field. When they are used to looking at flowers through the screen, they will forget the touch of petals, the fragrance of plants and trees that cannot be conveyed by perfume, and the subtle changes in the luster of the petals when the sun shines on them.As an art designer, he wants to show the audience what they have forgotten.

He couldn't describe this feeling exactly, was it a sense of space?Pressure?In short, it is the feeling of a huge monster passing by, and the perspective of being overlooked is easy to arouse people's instinctive reaction.Li Shang was too wary of danger, and he noticed the actor before he got close.

In fact, even this inspiration was given to him by Li Shang. When he was taking wheat, he said that Americans are used to squatting down to talk to children, because the adult figure will give children a sense of oppression.Su Rong thought of this for the first time.

When a tall god slowly passed by, the sense of oppression would turn everyone into a helpless child in an instant.

He is an art designer, and he is only responsible for providing this perspective. As for how to present this perspective on the screen, that is Xiao Su's job.He took three shots in a row, all of which were the Tai Sui God slowly passing by them. The sleeve brushed Tong Xiaojia's face. Tong Xiaojia closed her eyes and chanted. There was a faint tremor on her face, which made people feel the fear of her.

Yi Zhan's umbrella also played a big role. He stubbornly added a huge umbrella to the props. There were many iron symbols and copper coins hanging under the umbrella, giving it a solemn and solemn feeling.

Su Rong doesn't understand the technical problem at all. He only made two costumes like this kind of stilt actor. One is the Tai Sui God, the other is the God of Consumption holding an umbrella. The image of a woman walking on stilts is easy to handle, and the upper body cannot be made in proportion. How to make the whole team look several times larger than a human figure is a headache for Xiao Su.

This scene was filmed continuously for less than half a month, but Li Shang and Tong Xiaojia were idle instead, because they became props in this scene, they did not move throughout the whole process, and their lines were only a few lines. On set.Su Rong stayed on guard a few days ago, but later found out that she had nothing to do. It would be good if Yi Zhan and Bobby were there for makeup repair and props.

Li Shang originally wanted to take the opportunity to do something bad, but it's a pity that Tong Xiaojia came to work as a light bulb every day, and she was also idle, and she couldn't leave. After all, Xiao Su had a very bad temper, and he had to go immediately when he asked for a reshoot. After waiting for three days, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I came back.

This place is remote and boring, the only interesting person is Su Rong, so she comes here every day and eats here.Su Rong also told her that she could gain a little weight and look good in Tang Dynasty clothes. She was happier, broke the precept, and started eating cakes.

"I miss this taste so much." She said with emotion while eating: "It's hard work when losing weight. Hey, Li Shang, do you want to eat some too?"

"I don't eat junk food." Li Shang said lightly.

Tong Xiaojia was so angry that she wanted to throw a fork at him: "This is tiramisu. How about eating vegetable leaves every day like you? That's for feeding cows."

"Then you are feeding pigs?"

Tong Xiaojia was so pissed off by him. In the eyes of the audience, her current image is that of the glamorous and vicious second female lead in romantic dramas. Female fans in the entertainment industry will inevitably substitute her. Every day, they say on the Internet that she has a boring personality, mean, no charm, and a wooden beauty. .In fact, she is just too normal at home, well protected, and nothing happened. The only few harsh words she learned from Yan Siyun, naturally she can't quarrel with Li Shang.

Her cake was brought by Huang Lei. Huang Lei is so busy that she doesn't touch the ground. Her only pleasure is to eat it. She concentrates on getting all kinds of delicious food.She also got acquainted with Tong Xiaojia from time to time, she didn't dare to stay in Li Shang's room, but Tong Xiaojia set a precedent, and because of the broken window effect, she ran here without incident, leaving Li Shang's face sinking like water.In fact, Li Shang didn't mind other people's eyes, and he came to kiss Su Rong as usual, but Su Rong was thin-skinned and pushed him away immediately.

But even without them, Li Shang couldn't do any bad things—as soon as May came, Mai Mai would come.

At that time, Yi Zhan went back to Beijing to make a few swords, and brought him here by the way. The child really looks the same every day, but the height is second, and the face is much longer. Although the proportions are still weird, it is weird and good-looking, isn't it? Weirdly ugly.Wearing small shirts and shorts in summer, long thin legs with long socks and shoes, it feels like a child's painting.When she saw Su Rong, she rushed forward. Su Rong couldn't hold him anymore, but she still carried him from the airport to the hotel with a smile.

Li Shang's suite has become a club now. It's like having a party every day. It's very lively. Tong Xiaojia especially likes it here. Even Su Rong often hesitates to talk and doesn't bother her. She only threatens: "Tell me as soon as possible." Be clear, don't hesitate."

"I'll tell you after the filming of Tang Palace."

"Why wait until then?"

"You'll know then."
