083 Following Director Zhang, he was beaten nine times in a play (1/1 of the six six masters of Greater China)
Luzhou, a small market in a town
"The True Colors of a Detective" specially rented a small alley several meters long to film Luo Yang's scenes in the show.
In a temporarily borrowed small supermarket, the makeup artist was putting on Cao Xuan's makeup. It took a long time to finally satisfy the director Zhang Jiandong.
There is no way, Cao Xuan is too handsome.
In the early stage, Luo Yang was in a helpless and aggrieved situation, so he had to act ugly.
The hairstyle must be as untidy as possible, the face is smeared with dirt, the clothes are deliberately ill-fitting, and Cao Xuan also grew a beard. Although it was only for a short period of time, there was only a small layer of stubble, but the makeup artist took care of it and tried his best to make it look less sloppy.
Lift.
In addition, Cao Xuan also specially designed it. In the early stage, Luo Yang was made to walk with a little rickets, which immediately brought down the spirit of the character.
Anyway, after a lot of tinkering, although Cao Xuan is still handsome, at least he is not so eye-catching and looks more like an ordinary person with better looks.
For this reason, the director specially changed the script and gave those people who found trouble with Luo Yang an extra reason to dislike Luo Yang.
As for why he doesn't like it, who makes him look handsome...
The big black bull is already in place. Compared to the muscular man image in "Running Man", he is still a little skinny bull with a childish face. Even standing next to the ugly Cao Xuan, he looks like a little follower.
In fact, his role in the play is not that small, and he is a character that has clues throughout the play, but overall he is not outstanding.
The only deep memory is that he was strangled to death in the end and his orifices were bleeding. It can be called the shadow of childhood.
Luo Yang, played by Cao Xuan, is an important protagonist in promoting the plot and has his own complete plot line.
He may not have as many roles as the other leading actors, but his importance is second only to the male lead and second actor. In a sense, he can also be regarded as the third actor in "The True Colors of a Detective".
Cao Xuan still attaches great importance to the role of Luo Yang.
The two characters he filmed before, Ximen Qing and Jing Wuming, appeared completely complete. All he had to do was figure out the characters' personalities and act accordingly.
But Luo Yang is different, he has an obvious growth trajectory.
At first he was a coward and suffered humiliation, but in the middle he was cornered and turned into a desperado. He was recruited by the villain and began to rise, turning from a good citizen into a cold-blooded killer.
He was finally caught, and he resisted stubbornly at first, but was eventually silenced and finally persuaded by the police to cooperate.
This character is full of changes, and each stage has a different performance method. It is also necessary to highlight the inducements and processes of each transformation so that the changes are not blunt.
This is a challenge for Cao Xuan, but it is also a rare training opportunity.
If Cao Xuan can win this role, his acting skills will definitely improve, which will be very helpful for his future acting career.
………
In the alley, Cao Xuan and Da Hei Niu were setting up a stall to sell bamboo baskets. In the play, Song Laosi, the boss of the Heise Society in Jiangzhou City (a fictional city), came to collect protection fees.
With his arrogant words and bad attitude, Cao Xuan knew that he couldn't offend Song Laosi's men, so he decided to admit his defeat and spend money to eliminate the disaster.
Da Hei Niu is young and energetic, and can't bear to see his friends being bullied, so he speaks up and gets into quarrels with each other.
The other parties are all gangsters, and when they see someone dissatisfied, they immediately take action.
If it were in reality, Cao Xuan, a little expert in fighting, would not be afraid at all. He would attack anyone who was trying to copy him, and even if he couldn't beat them, he would knock them down.
But in the play, no matter how talented he is, he still has to endure it and take the beating honestly.
At the beginning, some of the extras who played gangsters did not dare to take action seriously due to Cao Xuan's reputation, so they played a somewhat fake role.
Director Zhang Jiandong was embarrassed to speak directly and asked Cao Xuan to watch the monitor by himself.
What else can Cao Xuan say? He took the initiative to do extra work, hoping to be more realistic.
Of course, it doesn't have to be so serious, but the intention of hitting people is right, punch hard and put it lightly, it looks fierce, but the damage is not that big.
But that being said, these group of extras are not professional martial arts practitioners after all, so sometimes it is inevitable that they can’t hold back their energy.
Anyway, after the filming of this scene, Cao Xuan was beaten several times. The painful expression of being beaten in the play was 30% realistic and 70% realistic.
After filming this fight scene and transitioning into a few more storylines, Cao Xuan quickly changed his clothes and removed the injured makeup from being beaten, and rushed to the next scene of this scene.
Well, I still got beaten...
Let's put it this way, in the early stages of the plot of Luo Yang, he either got beaten or was on the way to get beaten.
In the scene just now, Song Laosi's men beat him up, but he was later rescued by the villain's men, the thug Zhou Weidong played by Duan Long.
But Luo Yang also offended Song Laosi from then on. A few days later, Luo Yang sold rice to Luo Yang who had smashed the stall. Song Laosi came to the door and was pointed at the nose, humiliated and slapped.
Tragic or not, this was just the beginning of Luo Yang's misfortune.
Later, Luo Yang couldn't survive in Jiangzhou, so he went to work in the provincial capital. However, because of his bravery, he was retaliated against, chased and intercepted, and almost died.
After finally avoiding the limelight, he went to look for a job in the provincial capital, and met his old enemy Song Laosi again. He was slapped several times and beaten again.
Enduring the humiliation in his heart, Luo Yang asked someone to help him find a job at night, but was targeted by a group of drunken gangsters who found trouble and beat him up.
After receiving two severe beatings in one day, Luo Yang began to turn dark.
But at this time, he had not completely made up his mind. It was not until later that he finally did some business with Da Hei Niu, which made some progress.
He met Song Laosi again and was publicly humiliated and slapped several times. This completely made the honest man anxious and Luo Yang completely turned into a black man.
That's not all. After Luo Yang turned black, he also received beatings when he had conflicts with others. Although most of them took revenge on the spot, they had already suffered the loss.
Cao Xuan had always believed that he and Yuan Baye were at odds with each other. In the movies he co-produced and the characters he played, he was beaten to death in the end.
It was only after he acted in "The True Colors of a Detective" that Cao Xuan realized that it was not him and Yuan Baye who were at odds with each other, but his own fate.
The fight with Yuan Baye was pretty good, at least it was in a martial arts style. The fight looked fierce, but in fact the damage was not great, and there was a substitute at the critical moment.
But "The True Colors of a Detective" is all about realism.
Punches and kicks are enough, but close-ups like a fierce kick and a few slaps are not fake.
In order to achieve good film and television effects, although it is not necessary to resort to death, it is still a real fight.
Cao Xuan inexplicably missed Yuan Baye, Ximen Qing only had the fierce battle at the Lion Tower, and Jing Wuming was beaten to death by Shangguan Jinhong in the end.
How can it be like this time, following Director Zhang, a drama was beaten nine times...
Cao Xuan doesn't even need to act, and he can vividly interpret Luo Yang's frustration and weakness by relying solely on his own emotions.
However, despite being a coward, Cao Xuan did not hesitate when it came time to be beaten. The director would start over if he was not satisfied, showing no emotion at all, which surprised many people in the crew.
Being slapped is nothing to an actor, but that may not be the case for a star.
Especially for Cao Xuan, who became famous at a young age and became famous in a short period of time, there is nothing new about acting like a big name. Although it is not as rampant as cutting out pictures and reciting numbers in lines in later generations, there are still many tricks to cheat and cheat.
Although Cao Xuan has not yet reached the level of professionalism, his acting attitude is obviously very upright, and he is a young man who is willing to act hard and down-to-earth.
The guidance given to him by several veteran actors in the crew, from the initial repayment of favors and a sense of accomplishment, gradually became more sincere and sincere in supporting outstanding juniors...
