In the entertainment industry, there has always been a legend of "stand-in messengers", when actors are unable to appear in the face of difficult actions and other reasons, the stand-in messenger will become a "brave cow" who is not afraid of difficulties.
After the matter was over, the stand-ins walked away with a salary lower than that of the actors, hiding their merits and fame.
The figure of the stand-in in the work will also be used by the audience as the true character of the actor, and the stand-in will properly become a tool.
But in fact, the hardships and dangers of stand-ins are not low, and their names should actually be known to the audience.
Then the editor will introduce you to a few "stand-in messengers".
Who's who is the stand-in
The masterpiece "Let the Bullets Fly" can be described as a stand-in masterpiece.
To give two examples, Ma Bond, played by Ge You, used Master Tang as an identity stand-in, while Zhang Muzhi, played by Jiang Wen, used Ma Bond's identity as a stand-in, one ring after another, which is a stand-in in terms of identity.
Huang Shilang took Yang Wanlou, who looked very similar to himself, as his backhand, which was a physical stand-in.
However, in the two forces of Zhang Mazi and Huang Shilang, they each really have a real stuntman.
Let's take a look at the fourth child in Zhang Mazi's gang, when the fourth child appeared on the screen, many viewers were happy: "Isn't this Andy." ”
But after careful observation, it turned out that it was not Andy Lau, but I didn't hear that Andy Lau had a younger brother who came to act.
Later, people learned that the actor of the fourth child was called Du Yiheng, and he was not related to Andy Lau.
However, although Du Yiheng is not Andy's younger brother, he has also shed blood for Andy Lau's injuries.
Because Du Yiheng was Andy Lau's queen stuntman before starring in "Let the Bullets Fly".
Andy said that his skills are good, but after all, he is not a professional martial arts actor, and he is also powerless for some difficult actions.
And Du Yiheng was discovered because of his similar appearance and good skills, and became Andy's martial arts substitute.
Wu Ti is not a joke, even if the crew has maintenance measures, but the danger may pop up at any time.
Gu Zhixin, the actor of Xiaozhuang in "I Am a Special Soldier", did not use martial arts during a filming, but went directly to shoot a demolition horse ride, but fell heavily on the stone without paying attention.
Sent to the hospital to see, good guy, not to mention the broken bones, there is a risk of lifelong paralysis.
Fortunately, with the encouragement of his wife, Gu Zhixin also made up his mind that it took a long time to recover his body.
Ordinary actors are still like this, let alone martial arts actors.
Jackie Chan is famous for not using a stand-in, he himself is a dragon and tiger martial artist, and he is a martial arts substitute.
As famous as Jackie Chan's big brother not using a stand-in is that he was injured a lot because of dangerous actions.
This is the risk of martial arts, and it is also the risk of martial arts.
Du Yiheng himself admitted that in a circus when Andy was filming "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire", as a stand-in, he was squeezed between horses and horses, not only was his body injured, but he almost couldn't breathe.
But Du Yiheng still insisted on finishing the filming in a professional spirit, and it was precisely because of this dedication that Du Yiheng gradually walked from a shadow martial artist to the road of a face-revealing actor.
"Let the Bullets Fly" is the debut show that made him show his face, for which he is very grateful to Jiang Wen for boldly using himself.
After all, before this, he was just a martial artist who couldn't show his face on the camera, and his name was unknown, and Jiang Wen dared to use him, which really moved Du Yiheng.
In this way, Du Yiheng gradually got rid of Andy Lau's identity as a martial artist, and went to take over the drama and show his face to realize new value.
What is dramatic is that with the gradual rise of Du Yiheng's popularity, some marketing accounts have played a "big shift".
portrayed Du Yiheng as "no one knew Andy's stand-in for ten years, and then counterattacked and turned over, not only becoming an actor but also marrying Andy's ex-girlfriend".
If Andy Lau knew about this kind of marketing technique, I am afraid that he would have to say: "It's bad, I'm a stand-in." ”
But in fact, Du Yiheng did win the Best Actor Award in his career, but emotionally it was a rumor, Du Yiheng has his own sweet family.
Let's take a look at Mr. Huang's team again.
As the stand-in for Huang Shilang's image, although Yang Wanlou does not have many scenes, the meaning and importance in the play are self-evident.
When Huang Shilang and Yang Wanlou played opposite scenes, Jiang Wen asked stuntmen to play directly with Huang Shilang's actor Fa Ge in many scenes.
And this Chow Yun-fat stuntman is Wen Xiang.
Speaking of which, Wen Xiang and Du Yiheng are somewhat similar, both of them have been out of the circle because of their imitation of similar stars in imitation shows and gained a certain amount of exposure.
Similarly, it was Jiang Wen who waved his hand and pulled Wen Xiang into the ranks of movies for the first time.
Wen Xiang himself is also very excited, he has studied Fa Ge for ten years, and this is the first time he has had the opportunity to meet him.
And Fa Ge also called him again and again after seeing the stuntman, and it is not difficult to find by looking at the stills that Wen Xiang is more like Fa Ge himself when he grins his teeth.
There is a feature in Jiang Wen's movie, or he himself has a characteristic, that is, he thinks that the stuntman is also an actor, and he should be given the opportunity to show his face in the play, even if it is only one frame, it is better than nothing.
As a result, attentive viewers may find that when the county magistrate's wife was killed, the face on the corpse can be clearly seen to be not Carina Lau.
This is because Carina Lau's schedule problem was not in the crew at that time, so Jiang Wen found a female stand-in.
In line with the above-mentioned Jiang Wen characteristics, this intentional goofing was also discovered by careful people.
And Wen Xiang also had a chance to show his face in the play, although it was not conspicuous, but it was also Jiang Wen's respect for the stuntman.
Ann can tell that I am male and female
Not only male actors, but also actresses need stuntmen as well.
Take Da Mi Mi, who recently came out of the circle with her "wonderful" dance posture in "Harbin 1944", she has used a stand-in more than once in her previous filming.
As Yang Mi's stand-in, Zhuo Xiangyu looks really seven or eight points similar to Yang Mi.
As soon as the beauty is turned on and the lights are dimmed, maybe it can really be fake.
And Zhuo Xiangyu does not only rely on the professional life of being a stand-in, after all, the salary of a stand-in is not much higher.
So in normal times, she will also be a graphic model, not to mention, Zhuo Xiangyu's figure is really good, no wonder Yang Mi would find her to be her stand-in.
However, Zhuo Xiangyu's stand-in is only a substitute for the face, and she is also powerless for difficult movements.
And Yang Mi's costume drama is not less filmed, the eaves and the wall, if it is said that Yang Mi did it himself, many people don't believe it.
It's not that Yang Mi is not dedicated, but because those difficult actions can't be completed by dedication.
Take "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" starring her and Li Moufeng as an example, there are a lot of Yang Mi's action scenes in it, which is somewhat simple Yang Mi can still deal with, and she can only turn to Wu Ti for those difficulties.
But when Yang Mi's martial arts broke out, the big guys couldn't help laughing.
Not because of anything else, but because this stand-in is a big man.
If Ruhua in Stephen Chow's movie opened the style of men dressing up as women, then this actor named Erbao inherited the mantle of Ruhua well.
But jokes aside, in fact, Erbao is a good martial arts actor, and his wearing women's clothes as a stand-in for the actress is his dedication to the performance.
And the audience didn't find that Yang Mi's stand-in was a man when they watched the drama, which shows Erbao's skills.
Don't look at Erbao is thin, but when he starts to act, he is also a rabbit and a tiger.
And not only Yang Mi, Erbao has also done martial arts substitutes for many female stars.
It is actually normal for male martial arts substitutes to be martial arts substitutes for female stars, such as martial arts star Zhang Jin, who once served as a martial arts stand-in for Jia Jingwen, Zhang Ziyi, and Michelle Yeoh.
Even Wu Jing once served as the male number one in "Tai Chi Grandmaster" on the one hand, and on the other hand, he served as a martial arts stand-in for the female number one.
Therefore, the male martial arts does not distinguish the gender of the substitute, as long as there is no big problem with the body shape.
But whether it is for an actor or an actress, the hard work that Wu Ti needs to pay is still the same, and it can only be said that the stand-in industry is too tiring.
used to be a famous dragon and tiger martial artist in Hong Kong, and some of the martial arts actors in it died young because of too many injuries.
And Liu Kun, who served as a martial arts substitute for Chen Kun and Jet Li, unfortunately died during a filming, which caused a burst of embarrassment.
epilogue
The stand-in is like the shadow of the actor, the hard work is theirs, but the reputation and face belong to the glamorous one.
These stuntmen are just off the screen, as if they are not there.
And they actually need to get more attention, even if the salary is not high, but being able to be remembered by the audience is actually a good encouragement.
But today's stand-ins, how many names are known, and more of them are mentioned as actors on the surface, and behind-the-scenes stand-ins and workers are rarely concerned.
This is actually a question that needs to be considered.
