Chapter 368 Dedication
Originally, director Lei Heng did not plan to portray the character of "Luo Ying" in detail, and was going to use her as a tool to thread the needle. He felt that what the audience would love to watch most should be the various large-scale war scenes.
But when Gu Qingge entered the performance state, her very contagious performance directly shocked Lei Heng.
What Lei Heng didn't expect was that Gu Qingge could act so well when she played Luo Ying before she was admitted to the military academy, and she could be said to be very realistic!
Luo Ying is a typical child from a poor family who has to grow up early. Not only does she have to find time to study, but she also has to help herd sheep at home and take care of her younger siblings.
In order to go to school, she even had to walk more than ten miles along the mountain road, and she would carry her younger brother on her back.
It was in these scenes that Gu Qingge fully demonstrated her superb acting skills. She wore clothes worn by poor people of that era, which were covered with various patches, and her hair was tied into pigtails because this was more in line with history.
And her fair and tender cheeks were also processed to be closer to historical facts at her own request. She made herself look pale, thin and malnourished. Her "ugliness" can be said to be very successful!
Maybe when the audience sees the finished film in the cinema and Gu Qingge appears in the camera, they will not recognize her.
After all, in many people's minds, the talented Gu is always glamorous and beautiful. She pays great attention to her image. How could a top star like her play an ugly role in a movie?
But in order to portray the soul of "Luo Ying", Gu Qingge resolutely chose to do so. She is still very professional in filming.
Luo Ying is such a person. Her endurance is getting better and better during the long time she walks on the mountain road to school. She is a natural warrior.
Through this very contagious performance, Gu Qingge won the respect of many veteran actors. Only then did they realize that this new actor should not be underestimated.
Anyway, when she was acting opposite the actor who played Luo Ying's father, she never lost the upper hand, and sometimes even overshadowed the other party. This performance made many people marvel.
Obviously, this talented lady Gu is just a sophomore student in the acting department of Huayi University. Why do she seem like a natural-born actress? Her acting skills are so strong!
The most important thing is that Gu Qingge's performance is always very good, and she has never failed to perform well, so her number of NGs is almost zero, and it is usually others who do the NGs.
Director Lei Heng, who is a quick shooter, is so attracted to Gu Qingge, a treasured actress, that he even regrets why he couldn't meet her earlier!
Such an actress can not only play various vase roles, but can also bring depth to the characters!
Originally, Lei Heng didn't want to delve into the role of "Luo Ying" because he didn't think Gu Qingge could handle this role well at first.
But after watching Gu Qingge's performance, he couldn't help but add more scenes for her. Regardless of whether these scenes could be edited into the final film, he felt it was necessary to shoot them. Anyway, Gu Qingge never NG and was very efficient in filming, so he might as well let her do more work.
Of course, Gu Qingge wouldn't mind this happening, because the longer she filmed, the more progress her acting skills would make.
Anyway, Gu Qingge will gain something every moment, and she likes leveling up the most. The filming process is the process of leveling up.
Gu Qingge also had a scene that made director Lei Heng couldn't help but cheer loudly while filming.
That is the scene where she plays a shepherdess and uses a hunting rifle to resist the attack of wolves. Of course, this scene cannot use real animals, but relies on realistic CG synthesis technology.
Gu Qingge perfectly portrayed the feeling of a precise female shooter who could kill anyone with one shot. This required her to rely on her own imagination and could be considered a one-man show.
But Gu Qingge acted as if she was really in that extremely critical situation, and yet she appeared so calm and courageous. Just based on this scene, Luo Ying's image as a legendary heroine was established!
The next performance that amazed director Lei Heng was, of course, still to come, when Luo Ying finally became a military academy student and resolutely went to the battlefield.
Gu Qingge went all out, and with the help of her special skill "military temperament", she gave people the feeling that she was completely immersed in the role!
At that moment, Luo Ying was Gu Qingge, and Gu Qingge was Luo Ying!
Luo Sheng, the grandson of Luo Ying's younger brother, also had the honor of seeing Gu Qingge's performance, and he was astonished!
This performance is simply amazing. I never thought that an actor from peacetime could really portray the temperament of a legendary soldier from wartime!
Lei Heng focused on shooting two very exciting parts, one of which was the sniper battle between the legendary female sniper Luo Ying and a famous female sniper from the enemy.
This sniper shot can be said to be a true classic. He perfectly captured that life-or-death feeling.
Of course, the plot will definitely satisfy the audience, because at the beginning Luo Ying was in a disadvantageous situation. She didn't have the gun in her hand with her. When she wanted to hook the gun with a rope, the sniper on the opposite side directly hit her rope.
Then, after she figured out the enemy's sniper point, she asked her comrades to use the broken glass to reflect the light and instantly dazzle the other party. At this moment, she rolled over to get the sniper rifle, and instantly sniped the opponent to complete the counterattack!
It was after filming the sniper scene that Gu Qingge proposed her suggestions for "bullet time" and "sniper special effects" to director Lei Heng.
After listening to this, Lei Heng naturally admired Gu Qingge even more. As a technical director, he understood almost instantly what kind of visual enjoyment such special effects settings would bring to the audience.
So of course he accepted Gu Qingge's suggestion. He just felt that it would be unfair if "Enemy at the Gates" didn't become popular. It could definitely become a benchmark for sniper movies and even military blockbusters!
Another huge climax in the movie is, of course, the scene where Luo Ying and her three comrades, like Zhao Zilong of Changshan, face the enemy's large force and fight their way in and out seven times.
In this part, Lei Heng will add various explosion scenes that he is very good at, and further process them artistically.
But which audience member doesn’t like to watch their country’s legendary female heroes perform invincible acts?
Besides, this is recorded in official history. Luo Ying did achieve such a record. He even said, "Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, but they also dared to fight back against me." This is really pleasing to the eye!
