Good morning, noon and good evening~ Happy weekend everyone!
Here is the second analysis of "Agarwood Like Crumbs", today I want to talk about the actor's makeup in this play, as well as the acting analysis of several highlight clips.
Ying Yuan led the gods to participate in the "Immortal and Demon War", during which the battle was dangerous and fierce, and he was also splashed with snake blood and poisoned.
It can be seen that the fighting actions of the actors in this scene are much better than when Ying Yuan fought in the demon fog in the first episode-
At least you can see the power of the actors, and they finally have "energy" when they fight.
Why?
Because of the last scene, in order to create a "sense of suspension" in the black fog, the director asked the actors to hang Weiya for a long time-
It is difficult for people to maintain basic stability when they are hung up by so many ropes, and it is simply whimsical to want actors to complete continuous martial arts movements in the air;
This is no longer a problem that can be solved by the dedication of actors, it is not in line with physical mechanics.
And this episode is a fight on land, and the actors can step on it while flying, and it is much more beautiful when there are force points and moves;
The bird has to step on the ground before it takes off, let alone a person from the meat dundun.
This director really likes continuous long takes
Then the next scene is the famous scene of "Ying Yuan falling to the ground": the fall of the gods, poignant and heroic.
When he was poisoned in junior high school, Ying Yuan just wanted to stand up, but his body stiffened, and he bent down and knelt back-
The legendary top-heavy "got up";
He still looked at the black fog above his head uneasily, but he didn't look at it for a few seconds before he suddenly closed his eyes uncomfortably.
The actors' performances of "squinting" and "can't resist the sun" are not all pretentious, it is said that the crew took the scene in the Xinjiang desert-
The scorching sun is scorching, and the actors' eyes can't be opened if they want to, which can be regarded as helping the performance of "Ying Yuan's Blindness".
Ying Yuan fought with all his strength for a while, and finally couldn't hold it anymore.
He tried to keep up with his partner, but suddenly felt unwell and clutched his chest and vomited blood.
This time it should be more painful than the last "fierce", because just now he still had the "indifferent" and "impatient" look of squinting and shaking his head;
But his eyes were frozen and obviously frightened.
Have you noticed that the camera here still follows Ying Yuan's stumbling movements and has a "swaying by inertia"-
In order to infect the audience in front of the camera, it was brought into Ying Yuan's "vertigo" perspective.
This classic camera movement is also common in many big movies, such as the exciting "chase battle" -
The camera shook in alarm, and the audience was dazzled and apprehensive.
Ying Yuan wiped the blood from his mouth and put it in front of his eyes to look at it.
Some people feel that this action is like deliberately playing handsome, a bit "pretending".
But if you look closely at his expression, you will know that he is trying to identify his own blood, probably trying to judge the poisoning;
In fact, whether it is an idol drama or a more formal drama, it is already an invisible requirement for an actor to "play handsome" to show the charm and sexual tension of the character-
But it is also reasonable to be handsome, and his actions here are not faulty, which is completely logical.
Ying Yuan raised his eyes to look at the scene in front of him again, and the sand dunes turned from clear to blurred, and even fell down;
He felt exhausted and was about to faint.
(When people try to open their eyes but can't hold on, they tend to roll their eyes;
This white eye takes into account both truth and beauty, which is really rare in idol dramas. ）
You look at the process of his pouring-
It's really very relaxed, as if you really fainted and didn't feel conscious, and you were defenseless against a "concussion", and it was very difficult to do this.
We often see fainting scenes in film and television dramas, but it must be rare to be able to withstand this kind of slow-moving "face slap", and the facial expressions and body are extremely natural and gentle.
And this long shot was directly brought to the whole process of falling without editing, and the head of the close-up scene was flicked on the ground a few times-
Therefore, the actor should have practiced several times Xi to achieve this effect, and he really fell to the ground.
After Ying Yuan fainted, the camera went from the sand to Ying Yuan, and gave him a small and lonely back in the vast desert.
The director didn't waste the real scene of the desert, the yellow sand and dust were floating everywhere, and he filmed that great sense of loneliness.
All in all, the scene was a success.
The actors are dedicated, and the director also plays very well, and he shoots the "environment + atmosphere" that he is best at.
After the war, Ying Yuan regretted that he rashly commanded and caused everyone to fall into the trap and lose many soldiers and friends.
He dreamed bitterly and lingered in his heart, and resolutely left despite his serious injuries.
Yan Dan heard the news of Ying Yuan's injury, and hurried to the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion, but happened to staggered with Ying Yuan, who was invisible on the roof;
Maybe it was the arrangement of fate, the blind Ying Yuan lost his mind for a while, fell off the eaves, and kicked a piece of tiles-
was so shocked that Yan Dan touched the scene, and remembered the night when he and Ying Yuan played with tiles;
The estrangement between the two seems to be just the virtual and real backs in front of them, but in fact, why not?
It is said that the scene of falling off the roof also broke the actor's leg. It's too dangerous, and the staff behind the scenes can have a long snack.
I said that this is not hypocritical, overly distressed star Yunyun-
As directors and crew members, the health of the actors determines the progress and quality of the shooting, which is not good for everyone.
I found that Weiya in this drama was already very problematic, staggering, hooking clothes and belting;
It's just a matter of watching the play, and now there are even security issues.
Even if Cheng Yi insisted on being discharged from the hospital and returning to the crew the next day, it was difficult not to be affected in terms of performance and state, what a big mistake~
In addition, let's talk about the makeup of the actor in this scene, in fact, his hairstyle here has already begun to change:
In the early stage, his "work attire" was to comb the hair on his forehead and sideburns, fix it with a crown, and keep only the long hair behind the ears and on the neck;
And you notice the crown of his hair, which extends a little bit back, and then ties the streamers to the sides of his hairpins—
It makes the streamer far away from the top of the head, and can sway elegantly when walking, so that the wind will blow and the strap will not look capable when it sticks to the head.
Here I still have to thank the styling teacher for his intentions, and the small details add a lot of color to the male protagonist's row, like the flower of kaolin.
The position of Ying Yuan's headband is really different from others
And falling from the eaves here, Ying Yuan is dressed in "special and casual clothes for recuperation"-
The hair is unkempt, with bangs starting from the temples and forehead, and there is no obvious metal crown on the head to hold it in place.
In fact, the hairstyle here is very similar to the "white-haired little blind man" in the back, except for the different hair color, there is no difference.
This head shape is really very suitable for actor Cheng Yi, and it is also highly original among ancient puppets-
When stylists create an exclusive hairstyle for an actor, they also go out of the same way and create new ideas;
Because everyone's facial characteristics and suitable types are different.
In fact, the reason why Cheng Yi's appearance is not liked by some people, in addition to the difference in aesthetics, the only "small shortcoming" of his face in traditional proportions is-
The cheekbones are slightly prominent, and the face looks unsmooth and thin and haggard at some angles.
And this set of fluffy, heavy hair adjusts the feeling of "sunken temples" to a certain extent-
The modified face shape is more harmonious, and it blends well with the actor's warm facial features.
So you will also find that Ying Yuan looks good when he wears an eye patch:
Because although it covers the actor's godly eyes, it also covers the cheekbones and temples, and what is exposed is the best-
High nose bridge, small mouth, wide jaw bone characteristic of men, and delicate V chin.
I don't know what it's called, but the "gentle wife's head" said by fans is not rough. Okay, good, you have the final say~
Cheng Yi plays the triangle alone in this drama, and Tang Zhou's hairstyle in the back is also good-
The hair is combed up, leaving only two slightly warped whiskers, capable and juvenile;
Because the stylist used the effect of "cocking" the bangs, although the two hairs are near the cheekbones, they are not close to the face, and the bone problem will not be exposed.
Therefore, people with high cheekbones should not have the kind of hair and bangs that "stick to the head and face", which will make the facial defects more obvious;
Friends with similar problems can simply comb their bangs, fluff their hair or perm out curls.
No, that's what our scumbag dad in this show does this, although the scumbag dad is crazy, but the aesthetics are good-
Guess why he only rolls bangs? Of course, it's because it's better looking and more flattering to his face~
So, after seeing so many looks of Cheng Yi, I really feel that people have been wronged-
One or two said that people are ordinary, but he can be called the most abundant male traffic in ancient costumes.
The boys' costume hairstyles are relatively simple and not as gorgeous as the girls, but Cheng Yi has already mastered a lot of tricks:
What dragon beard bangs, long bangs and short bangs, combed up, left behind the front comb, and even thick eye-covering bangs......
There are so many styles of innocence, gentleness, evil charm, etc., and they say that people are not good-looking, so other male traffic may not have tried so much makeup-
If they comb it well, why don't they comb it, is it because they don't want to?
So it can only be said that a faint, non-impactful long like Cheng Yi is on the contrary and more malleable, and it is not a big deal to admit this fact;
And this kind of layered ancient costumes and fairy tale costumes are relatively thin people who look good -
I believe you have also seen some relatively strong male stars, who look bloated and have short necks in ancient costumes.
Therefore, you can feel that a person is not handsome, but there is no need to deny it all;
People with perfect looks are not necessarily suitable for filming, and people who are not perfect are likely to show charm in their own work, so don't spray others like useless.
Moreover, sometimes I see people frantically complaining that domestic entertainment male stars are too thin and don't look good in suits on the red carpet, I feel a little bitter-
Because the genre of ancient costumes is the most popular in our mainland film and television, this is originally our cultural advantage;
And many skinny artists are also born for the audience market, no one wants to lose weight hungry, but it's easier to get the play.
Almost every year, our country produces much more costume dramas than modern dramas;
I have also seen some Korean costume dramas plagiarize Chinese costumes and Xianxia, but Korean actors show their "Dongshi imitation" after putting on costumes, which is not as good as the mainland actors we usually dislike.
So compared with those European, American and Korean "double-door" male gods in suits, the requirements and audiences of male artists in our country are different-
If an actor patronizes the red carpet and looks good, but doesn't get a good show in his own work, what will it become?
Therefore, I hope that everyone will not be too repressive and negative about the artists here :
The environment and atmosphere in the mainland are not good, and young actors do have many shortcomings, but the efforts and sincerity of some actors should also be seen and encouraged.
Regarding the actors' performances, let's pick another highlight plot to talk about:
After the war, Ying Yuan was bound to the end of the earth, blaming himself day and night, and in his dream he saw his former friends who died in battle.
In the dream, he first looked around in a daze and panic, and the black fog was like the smoke of the Great War;
Suddenly, his friend Beiming Xianjun appeared from the fog and invited him to play chess as always, Ying Yuan was stunned.
The voice of the good brother Ji Du Xingjun also came from the side: "This battle is led by you personally, the immortal world will definitely return triumphantly, I will go with confidence, take care!"
These words, which were half encouragement and half farewell, aroused Ying Yuan's sadness, and he relieved himself to pull him, but it was a desperate void.
Look at his expression here, from despair to a near-numb smile, he was a little crazy at this time—
He couldn't relieve or suppress the bone-crushing grief, and he was about to atone for his sins immediately.
In order to compensate others, but also to liberate oneself.
His smile faded, and at last all he was left with a chilling firmness. He slowly raised his hand to cast a spell;
I like the pause here after Ying Yuan's spell is cast—
Most people have the idea of "wanting to die" at any time, and they must hesitate and be mentally prepared before they start;
Especially when a person has passed the most impulsive moment at the moment, it is even more difficult to make up his mind -
At this time, Ying Yuan had actually been hiding for several days, and this was a dream that reminded him and deepened his guilt;
He didn't actually intend to die when he first woke up from the Heavenly Doctor's Pavilion, and I think that was the time when he was most excited and prone to doing stupid things.
You see, Ying Yuan really has a brewing process here-
He couldn't help but look at his still alive Yuan Shen, stared quietly for a long time, took a deep breath, closed his eyes suddenly, and was about to crush it.
Suddenly, a gentle hand stopped him, and Yan Dan's voice came from outside his dream;
Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly had a light of hope, and he looked at the person in front of him slowly and carefully. There was still a little soft grievance in his eyes, as if he had encountered redemption.
This two-minute plot is still a long shot, which is commonly referred to as "one shot to the end", without editing and splicing, and it is still a test of strength.
The difficulty of this form of lens for the actor's performance is that -
You have to have a long period of emotional immersion, control your performance layer by layer, and slowly release it;
It must not be like that, one after another, it will seem very stuck.
[The most commendable thing about Cheng Yi's scene is:
He has a strong sense of layering, and his emotions slowly penetrate and transform;
There is no drama in a second, and there is no reduction in the appeal due to the pressure of long shots. 】
Moreover, the actors in the long shots can't be patronized and can't extricate themselves from the addicted play, and they should also pay attention to maintaining the basic beauty of their expressions-
can't cry and cry with a runny nose, scratch an itch, or crook your mouth, which is not quite in line with the artistic sense of our film and television dramas.
Cheng Yi: Who is talking about me?
Therefore, no matter what kind of work you do, it is not easy to achieve the ultimate;
A good performance seems simple, and only the actors themselves know the small difficulties that need to be overcome.
That's why we say that stage and drama actors are of a higher level:
However, every scene is performed in real time in front of thousands of audiences, and every day they take the risk of forgetting words, nervousness, dumb voice, and overwork, which requires great business ability.
