Chapter 942 Lin Fan has gained weight!
As we all know, the shooting of a film or TV series is not carried out in the order of the timeline, but according to the scene. All the shots in a scene are shot intensively, and then the next scene is switched to continue the concentrated shooting.
The drama "Journey to the West", due to its subject matter, requires a lot of post-production special effects, especially some fighting scenes, which rely more on special effects.
Even some scenes, such as the Lingxiao Palace, the Crystal Palace, the Xitian Leiyin Temple, etc., required special effects to create various fairyland atmospheres. Therefore, Yang Hongxia suggested that the entire drama should use blue screen technology.
However, Lin Fan still feels that when it comes to using special effects technology, there should be no ambiguity at all, but those shots that require real-life shooting still have to use real scenes.
After all, some real scenes cannot be perfectly replicated by special effects.
The 1986 version of "Journey to the West" traveled through famous mountains and rivers under such difficult conditions, and finally produced the classic "Journey to the West". Even the original filming location later became a tourist attraction.
Moreover, as the name of "Journey to the West" suggests, the focus is on the word "travel".
From the Tang Dynasty to exotic customs, we passed through famous mountains and rivers, ancient temples and Taoist temples, gardens and villas, and exotic customs. The transformation of such scenery alone is full of mysterious attraction that makes people yearn for it.
Finally, add some cool and magical special effects, and the film or TV series produced in this way can be called carefully crafted.
If we only shoot in the studio, and the final effect depends entirely on cutouts and special effects, wouldn't that be treating the audience as fools? So while the weather is still relatively cool, Lin Fan led the entire crew to shoot all the outdoor shots first, and then proceed with the studio shooting at ease.
Therefore, Lin Fan took the crew on a difficult journey of traveling (touring) the mountains (mountains), shooting (playing) and photographing (water) - after all, Lin Fan is not short of money now, and although the crew's work is heavy, their lives can still be fully guaranteed.
So when Li Man joined the crew, he couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Lin Fan for the first time: "Director Lin, why are you fat?"
Lin Fan touched his rounded face and said painfully: "We have too many snacks in China!"
At the beginning, Xia Yan and I went abroad for a crazy trip for several months. We ate a lot, but ended up losing three kilograms.
But when filming on location with the crew, even though he was exhausted like a dead dog every day, he still couldn't stop gaining weight. Even someone like Lin Fan who had the cheat of "Eat meat and never get fat" succumbed to the Chinese snacks. It is conceivable how painful Lin Fan was every day.
On the contrary, Shi Chongshan, who played the role of Sun Wukong, controlled his mouth in order to maintain his figure. He successfully lost five kilograms of weight at a time when everyone in the crew, from the director to the script supervisor, was gaining weight. He immediately became the idol of everyone in the crew.
Li Man laughed and said, "But the fatter Director Lin is more in line with the description of the character in the original book."
Lin Fan chuckled: "Sister Man, even if you praise me like this, you still have to gain the weight you need. Just like you said, in order to fit the character description in the original book."
Li Man's mouth twitched a little: "Director Lin, can we discuss it again?"
After Li Man got the role in Journey to the West, Lin Fan asked Li Man to gain weight. Not only Li Man, Su Tong was no exception, most of the actresses in the crew were also asked to gain weight.
Moreover, Lin Fan also explicitly requested that if they want to gain weight, they should first gain weight on the face. If that doesn't work, then gaining weight on the whole body is also acceptable. In short, he doesn't want all the actors under his camera to be as skinny as the White Bone Demon.
Yes, the only actor in the crew who was told by Lin Fan that she didn't need to gain weight for the movie was the actress who played the White Bone Demon.
But do you think this is preferential treatment? It's not good at all, right?
Looking at other actresses in the same crew, who kept eating all kinds of delicious food in order to gain weight, Lin Fan also paid out of his own pocket from time to time to treat everyone to local snacks. The crew's boxed lunches were also much better than those of other crews because of Lin Fan's excellent cooking skills!
In such an environment, everyone is eating, and I can only watch helplessly to maintain my figure. This feeling is too painful! Li Man was also in pain, because this was her first time in the crew, but the director asked her to gain weight. In the past, she was asked to lose weight and maintain her figure! But Lin Fan emphasized it, and Li Man could only say with tears in her eyes: "Director Lin, how many pounds do I need to gain to make my face as fat as you want?"
"It depends on your physique. Look at Su Tong. She gained weight in her legs first and had to gain 10 pounds to meet the requirement. If you can gain weight in your face first, then it will only be 3 pounds at most and it will be easy to lose it later."
Ten pounds! Li Man was terrified for Su Tong. You know, it's easy for actresses to gain weight after the age of 30, but if they want to lose weight, they have to work harder than before.
But now Li Man could not care about sighing, because what was in front of him was also a difficult problem: Su Tong gained weight in her legs first, while he gained weight in his waist first! The abdominal muscles that he had worked so hard to train were going to be heroically sacrificed in the crew of "Journey to the West". Li Man really wanted to cry!
But Li Man could only grit his teeth and promise: "Director Lin, don't worry, when my scenes start shooting, I will definitely be able to meet your requirements!"
He has already paid so much for the role in "Journey to the West", and gaining some weight is just a matter of effort. Riemann will definitely not be stumped by this hurdle.
Li Man did what she said. By the time she put on makeup and finalized her look, she looked exactly like what Lin Fan wanted. In Lin Fan's eyes, he couldn't find any fault with her.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Okay, the final makeup photos can be posted now!"
Then, netizens who had been eagerly waiting for the broadcast of "Journey to the West" saw Riemann's makeup photos in "Journey to the West".
【Manmanxinghe: Eh? Is this my sister Man's makeup photo? Why is her face so round? Sister Man, are you swollen? Filming is very hard, sister Man, you have to take a rest, otherwise your face will easily swell.】
[Life is not easy, all depends on acting: Wow, where on earth did the stylist of the crew of "Journey to the West" come from? Why are they so keen on making the actresses look like round faces? What kind of aesthetic is this! Su Tong's makeup photos were also like this before. She was obviously a beautiful woman, but the stylist ruined her like this! ]
[Today's sleeping position determines tomorrow's hairstyle: It's terrible to be uneducated. Don't you know that the background of "Journey to the West" is the Tang Dynasty? Don't you know that fat was considered beautiful in the Tang Dynasty? This kind of elegant and luxurious makeup is more in line with the aesthetics of the time! Don't look at the makeup of "Journey to the West" with your eyes that are hurt by the awl face! ]
