Preface
After watching film and television dramas for so many years, you may never have thought that those seemingly lofty scenes and action scenes on the screen are so grassroots and inspirational when filmed behind the scenes! The "amazing deception" outside the camera is enough for you to watch for a whole year, and the "fairy operation" when directing the set will definitely make you fall through the glasses. Today, let's take stock of the spicy-eyed and ridiculous behind-the-scenes truth of the lower body in major film and television dramas, which is guaranteed to open your eyes!
1. "Spicy Lower Body Picture"
1. The shocking truth of the bathing scene
Everyone is accustomed to seeing the beautiful and romantic scenes of the hero and heroine in the bath in costume dramas or modern dramas. The clear water ripples, the dense water vapor rises, and the protagonist reveals his sexy body... However, you may never have thought that these glamorous shots could be shot so grass-roots and rough!
For example, in "Sito", Jing Tian seems to be wearing an off-the-shoulder suit when she is bathing in a wooden barrel, and the sparkling water surface is all made by the staff pounding the water surface. In "Dragon Gate Inn", the water vapor rising when Shen Mengchen was "bathing"? That was just a spray from an air humidifier. Yuan Shanshan soaked in a flower bath in a transparent wooden barrel, but in fact she was filmed in the water wearing a set of shredded tights.
2. The second subsection: Follow-up to the interesting bathing scene
Not only that, but the actors often have a lot of moths when filming bathing scenes. For example, in order to film the flower bathing scene, Yuan Shanshan had to soak in the water motionless for a long time, and the staff witnessed her constantly shivering, no wonder she was in a physical condition later.
Another example is Yang Rong's bathing scene in "Zhong Kui's Monster Hunt", there is not a drop of water in the studio at all, all of them are green cloth and special effects! In order to create a sense of reality, Yang Rong can only repeat the action of washing her arms again and again, but in exchange for a lot of new "flirting" skills. You can't imagine the hard filming process behind these obviously beautiful bathing scenes!
3. Other absurd bathing scenes
In addition to the film and television dramas introduced above, many other costume dramas and modern dramas use the same methods when filming bathing scenes, and they use all kinds of strange ways to "simulate".
Some crews directly let the actors go into the water in heavy clothes, and only stripped off their upper bodies; some let the actors go into the water in tight swimsuits, and then use special effects to treat them into a "naked bath" effect; Some crews didn't bother to go into the water at all, so they directly let the actors lean on the edge of the bathtub, and then used slow motion and splash effects to "get through".
The effect created by all these techniques is naturally not the slightest flaw in the TV. However, when you understand these spicy shooting "tricks" behind the scenes, can you still watch the "bathtub scene" on the screen without changing your face?
2. "A Shocking Lower Body Picture"
1. The "car-free" shooting method of driving scenes
In film and television dramas, one of the most desirable scenes is when the hero and heroine roll in, skillfully control the steering wheel with one hand, and drag race on the highway. The kind of wind speeding around seems to give people a real speed experience.
However, you can never imagine that these passionate driving shots are so simple and boring! In many cases, there are no car props in the studio, and the actors are just holding a fake steering wheel in their hands, surrounded by two huge colored backdrops, and there are staff members frantically shaking tree branches, creating a visual experience of "driving".
2. The "surface" secret of Mei Changsu's rowing
When it comes to the classic film and television drama "Langya Bang", I believe many people still remember the scene when Mei Changsu was rippling on the lake, the quiet water, elegant gestures, and the curling smoke... However, it turned out that all this was not a live action shoot at all!
In order to ensure the shooting effect, the crew imitated all the post-special effects. At that time, Mei Changling was just waving and doing a set of "Tai Chi" movements in the empty shed, and the surrounding lake scenery was all painted by the special effects artist. It's really astonishing! When you look at that picturesque artistic conception, how can you think that you are actually shooting at a piece of green cloth?
3. Other hilarious landscaping "earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods"
In addition to the driving scene and Mei Changsu's boat scene, many classic scenes in other dramas also had a lot of ironic oolongs during filming.
For example, there is a costume drama, in which the hero and heroine seem to be floating in the air, which looks quite joyful. But in fact, the buildings and sets behind them in the shot were all added by special effects, and there was nothing in the studio at that time except for the actors, and the opening scene was a piece of cloth.
Another example is a certain martial arts drama, the characters in the play seem to be competing in mid-air, and for a while, the blood is boiling. But the real scene is that the crew set up the actors on a huge rocker stand, and then the cameraman "captures" the action footage below. With such cooperation, the thrilling "high-altitude" fight scene was filmed.
Doesn't that sound a bit nonsense? It doesn't matter, this is the secret of Hollywood's "red plate price" for making movies. As long as you have the heart, there is no "soap opera scene" that cannot be filmed.
3. "Unexpected Lower Body Picture"
1. Horse whirlwind on a horse ride
If there is anything that is the most popular drama in film and television dramas, then the horseback riding drama can definitely be a success. Whether it is a costume drama or a martial arts drama, there is always a heroic shot of the general's mount and horse. The audience watched the heroes and heroines on the screen riding horses and whips, and their aura was extraordinary, and they all admired it.
But have you ever thought that these horseback riding heroes are too fake and contrived? Because in the real shooting scene behind the scenes, there is no part of sitting and riding!
The lowest way to shoot is to find a real horse for the crew, and then the staff squats in front of the horse's head and shakes the horse's mane vigorously, while the actors only need to strike a generous and heroic pose on the saddle.
A slightly more "advanced" approach would be to simply remove the horse and replace it with some rudimentary props. Some crews directly let the actors ride on the shoulders of the staff and shake; Some use a "big sedan chair" with rollers to carry the actors around; What's more, he simply let the whole crew collectively act as a "horse", carrying the protagonist around together.
Finally, let's talk about a "high-grade" shooting method that can't help but be vulgar. There was a play where real horses were invited, but for safety reasons, the actors could not be allowed to ride directly on horseback. So the crew's "best strategy" is to shave off all the horse's fur and let the actors ride on the smooth horse and swing!
You read that right, riding on a red horse is such a "visually impactful" experience. The crew just weighed the pros and cons and felt that this was more in line with the requirements of "aesthetics".
2.:警匪战的三轮"钢驹"
In addition to horse riding, the most exciting thing in film and television dramas is the police and bandit battle. When those outlaw thieves flee cunningly, and the police comrades are in hot pursuit, it can always bring the audience a thrill of grasping. But you know what? Those seemingly tense and exciting chase shots are often done in a rather "bad idea" shooting technique.
For example, in a TV series, the plot tells the story of a policeman and a thief chasing me on the streets of the city. What the audience saw was that the thief stepped on the accelerator and fled in a small car at high speed, while the police comrades were in hot pursuit, driving a heavy motorcycle behind him.
The whole scene looks quite exciting, as if a life-and-death drag racing battle is about to break out in the next second. But in fact, the filming site of this drag racing drama was unexpectedly "streamlined". The crew turned out to have only prepared a motorcycle and a... Tricycle!
True, the cunning "thief" was actually riding on a tricycle and staggering, while the "comrade policeman" behind him was holding a fake steering wheel and sitting on a heavy motorcycle that did not move, and "sped" all the way.
In order to make this "farce" seem more realistic, the camera has to move around, supplemented by extremely fast camera advancement, to create a "high-energy" rush atmosphere. Otherwise, with this kind of shooting battle alone, anyone who sees it will laugh.
There is also a drama in which a gang of robbers flee frantically after robbing a bank, and a fire scene starts with the police. It stands to reason that this kind of drama shooting should be quite cruel, but the behind-the-scenes crew's methods are surprisingly "Wen Zou Zou".
It turned out that the "police cars" and "carjackings" that seemed to be driving fiercely on the streets were all small cars with their paintwork, and the gunfight in the scene was sprayed wildly by the special effects artist with a bunch of smoke bombs, and then used a robot car to drag the rope around to make trouble. From beginning to end, there was no real gun in the footage, and everything was safe and "environmentally friendly". However, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't see the vulgarity of these "wonderful" pictures.
End interaction
Through the above exposure one by one, I believe everyone has a new understanding of the "spicy eye" shooting methods behind the scenes of film and television dramas. It turns out that the seemingly gorgeous lens scenes on the screen are often grassroots in the studio as if they are "cos" on the spot.
I have to admire the ingenuity of the "bad idea" of the director and staff, and also admire the "professionalism" of the actors who still work hard in such a humble environment. is the so-called "drama essence", not a waste of fame.
So, after experiencing these nonsense behind-the-scenes revelations, which "trick of tricks" are you most interested in? Is it Mei Changsu floating in the air, or the "real horse Yuying" who rode a horse? Or is it the "three-wheeled chariot" in the chase battle? Write down your thoughts in the comment area, maybe your brain-opening "shooting tricks" are more exaggerated than the crew's methods! Let's wait and see, and look forward to more and more wonderful "spy photos" behind the scenes of film and television dramas.
