This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 365 "Cheng Cheng" 9
[He's a drug addict. You can tell from his face when he's arrested.]

[Frog Brother looked at him with eyes full of pity, disgust, and contempt]

【The eyes of an award-winning actor】

[I shudder all over when I see this! ! ! ]

[This response is really amazing! ]

[Record of the third day of filming]
[Countdown: Only 39 days left until the film is released]
Cheng Cheng: "With his hair down and his head raised, we can see his back. A high-speed camera can be used here. Whoosh, he turns his head and a bloody and hideous face appears in front of the audience—"

Cheng Cheng: "Try to use healthy, environmentally friendly materials that do not harm the actors."

Foreign special effects makeup artist: "Tomato, brown sugar."

Cheng Cheng: "Let him hold it in his mouth, like this: ho ho ho. He has to make a sound. He has to keep it in his mouth for ten minutes or half an hour, with all kinds of movements and expressions. The actor has to act out a lot of scenes, so he has to swallow it inevitably."

Picture everything.

A zombie uses a straw to suck artificial blood into his mouth.

The beret shouted into the intercom: "Okay, get ready for the real shot."

Surveillance camera footage: A zombie is lying on the ground, struggling and twitching all over, blood gurgling out of his mouth, and he died with his eyes open.

Cheng Cheng: “Stop.”

A group of staff members surrounded them urgently.

"Did you swallow it?"

Foreign zombie actor: "Oh, I just swallowed it all."

"Is it tasty?"

Foreign zombie actor: "Pretty good! I feel like I've eaten all the ketchup I'm going to eat in my lifetime."

"As long as it's delicious."

"In the world of martial arts, one foot steps on a sword, then uses the force to leap, and the other person rolls in the air, and the person on top steps on the other person to fly up. Everything is so simple and natural, but the real world is not like this."

After harvesting.

Yuan Youhe: "Even if someone throws a fist at you, you consider turning your head to dodge or stepping back, this is real. The charm of the real world lies in the real collision of flesh and blood."

set.

Cheng Cheng, Yuan Youhe and Jiang Nan were present.

Cheng Cheng and Yuan You were practicing their moves together. Both of them moved very quickly and fought very beautifully.

Cheng Cheng: "I think the moves can be like this, like this, because zombies are inanimate objects and can't dodge. It's different from fighting with humans, so all moves must be efficient. When a zombie pounces on you, dodge, punch it, and then kick it to finish it off."

Cheng Cheng: "For example, if you play a zombie, I will do this and that again. All the movements are aimed at the head and legs. Hitting the head will kill it instantly, and hitting the legs will make it lose its ability to move."

Cheng Cheng: "We can call it zombie martial arts."

After harvesting.

Yuan Youhe: "I didn't expect him to know so much. Sometimes when I talk to him, I'll talk about things I wouldn't have thought of. This is the mutual absorption and complementation of experience. For example, this zombie martial arts gave me a sudden enlightenment."

Voiceover: "Do you have any ideas for designing actions?"

Yuan Youhe: "Since we are talking about efficiency, I want to combine some military martial arts with Muay Thai and Bajiquan, so that it is both modern and efficient."

[As expected of a master]

[The elders have already mastered it]

Cut back to the set.

The two men had stopped their moves.

Cheng Cheng gestured with his hands and continued to instill his ideas into Yuan Youhe:

"I hope to design a signature move that is unique to the character of Alice. First, the move must be beautiful. Second, it must be of moderate difficulty, not too simple or too difficult. It must be something that Jiang Nan can do and can be presented to the audience. Third, it must be recognizable and leave a deep impression on the audience. Others will know who the move belongs to at a glance."

Yuan Youhe thought about it for a while, and then he taught Jiang Nan a few moves individually.

Finally, he found Cheng Cheng with the video:

"Do you think this is an exaggeration?"

"When two zombies come at you from different directions, first repel the zombie in front, then kick the zombie behind with a double-leg kick. This move is very common in Sanda practice and can be achieved."

"And this, leaning back and kicking high, is also a leg technique, it can kick four people away at once."

"These two movements are very beautiful, which can highlight Jiang Nan's long legs. The beautiful legs under the red skirt are swept beautifully."

Cheng Cheng put his finger to his nose, watched the video, and thought:
"It's acceptable. The action design is very beautiful."

"But this is not repeatable. You still don't understand what I mean."

Audience: So Sung Cheng and Won Woo-ho also talk like this. Sung Cheng on the set looks really hard to mess with. He seems a bit self-centered and has the final say. But maybe this is the only way to make a good movie.

Cheng Cheng: "How about this? When the zombie comes over, Jiang Nan kicks his leg bone and breaks it. Simple, powerful, and repeatable."

Surveillance camera footage: Several zombies surrounded him. Jiang Nan first broke the leg bone of the zombie in front of him, causing it to fall to the ground. Then he used his double-leg kick to send the zombie behind him flying, creating a space for himself to survive. He then leaned back and gave a high kick, sending away the three zombies that were rushing towards him.

Cheng Cheng: “Okay, cut!”

[What a cool skill! ]

【elder sister!!!】

【Zombie Bonebreaker】

【Good legs! 】

The audience had a sense of witnessing something: So this is how the action in this segment came about!

After harvesting.

Jiang Nan: "Chengzi said that he wanted all the shots to be very realistic, including the fighting scenes, which also had to be real fights."

Jiang Nan: "It was actually quite difficult. I had actually practiced Sanda for a month in advance and I also had some dancing skills, but once the filming started, I still couldn't keep up with the requirements of Chengzi and Yuanlao. I was most afraid that the progress would be delayed because of me."

Jiang Nan: "I also go jogging every morning to exercise. If I can be more coordinated, I will look better."

[Fifth day of filming]
[Countdown: Only 37 days left until the film is released]
Monitor screen:
"Do you remember anything from before you came here?"

"No, I don't remember anything before I got on the train. How about you?"

"Me too."

[They are so sweet]

[Record of the sixth day of filming]
"See? How simple."

"Randy, no!"

[The worst one in the whole movie appeared]

[Record of the seventh day of filming]
[Special Effects Makeup Room]
On the walls are dog anatomical and structural diagrams, as well as detailed data of each part. In the room, there are also some plaster models, photos, etc.

[No way? This is made? ]

A European and American woman who had a tan said to the camera:
"As far as I know, no one has ever done this. Dogs have been dressed, dogs have had injuries. But the feeling of human skin has never been tried."

Her note appears in the lower right corner: Ina Schulz, special effects makeup artist for "Resident Evil".

[The prop master is really amazing. 】

On a device similar to an operating table, a group of people surrounded a Doberman and put makeup on it.

Some people painted exposed ribs on it, some people attached something similar to skin to its body, and some people smeared red ketchup on it.

This Doberman was very well behaved and allowed the human to do what he wanted to it without struggling at all.

【Repairing the dog is so good】

[Dog: I am not clean anymore]

[He’s so well behaved outside of the play, but so scary in the play, hahahaha]

[So cute]

[Is that raw bacon? ]

[Oh my god, this Doberman is so well behaved]

[Only well-trained dogs can participate in this job]

After harvesting.

A European and American man said: "Working with animals is hard enough, but to work with animals that are rotting is even harder. You know, putting makeup on animals is very difficult. It's not like working with actors because actors don't lick the makeup off their faces. When you put a lot of ketchup on the dog, it will be very interesting for the poor prop master."

[The dog’s eyes look so innocent hahahaha]

[Hahahaha, dog: pay more and get more food]

【It’s time for dinner, right?】

[I can imagine the props teacher being covered in ketchup]

[Dog: I smell so good, I want to eat myself]

The next scene is a clip from a movie, where a zombie dog breaks through the glass and rushes into the laboratory.

Later, the actual footage was grafted on, and the dog completed the task very well.

The dog trainer immediately fed him something to eat.

"god boy~"

[It turned out to be a real dog performance. I thought it was all special effects animation CG]

[Nowadays, green screen is basically used. Real dogs are really conscientious.]

[So brave]

There was also a model dog on the set, which looked exactly like a real dog.

The next scene is from the movie:

Jiang Nan kicked in the air and hit the zombie dog.

But in the footage shot on site, the model dog was fixed in the air. When Jiang Nan kicked it, the fixed switch turned on immediately, and the model dog was kicked out and hit the wall.

[This flying kick is so cool]

【Jiang Nan is awesome】

After harvesting.

Jiang Nan: "I really feel sorry for the zombie dogs. I know you guys won't feel that way. They are so scary and evil."

set.

The dog trainer is making the Doberman perform various barking and leaping movements.

The documentary shows, scene by scene, how "Resident Evil" was filmed.

[This dog has good acting skills]

[I hope all horror movies will release behind-the-scenes footage]

After harvesting.

Dog trainer.

“You know, the sugar window and now the window is like one inch, and then you say you put a two-inch window, that’s not okay because I used to train my dog ​​with one-inch windows, and if he couldn’t break through, he would never listen to me again.”

“But we tried the two-inch windows anyway.”

Later, the Doberman tried the two-inch window and broke through successfully, and the whole audience cheered.

[This movie is worthy of admiration. Every detail was shot so carefully. ]

[This kind of dog is very obedient]

【Bao is really cooperative】

【Super cool! 】

[It's just like a horse]

[Document of the eighth day of filming]
[Countdown: Only 34 days left until the film is released]
Monitor screen:
Jiang Nan: "I'm already beginning to miss you."

After saying that, she swung the fire axe and chopped it down.

Scenes from the movie:

Cheng Cheng's head rolled down.

There was warm applause on the set.

The man in the beret clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Congratulations, Director Cheng, you've finished filming!"

Then, warm applause broke out throughout the studio.

Someone else jumped out of the crowd, holding a can of colored ribbons, and shouted at Cheng Cheng: "Director Cheng, congratulations on wrapping up."

A line of words appeared on the screen:

[Sung Cheng finished filming]
[It's a pity that Frog has too few scenes]

[Yes, Frog's skills can open an action movie on its own]

After harvesting.

Cheng Cheng: "In fact, my role in this movie is not crucial, nor do I have to take on a lot of scenes. My main role is to partner with Jiang Nan. She and I are fake husband and wife, and it is not appropriate for a foreigner to play such a role, so I can only play it myself."

The audience in front of the screen curled their lips:

We don't know you yet? You just can't bear to see others filming sex scenes with Jiang Nan!
[Please, let me act in one episode! ]

[I've let you kiss me enough! 】

Voiceover: "Will you appear in subsequent series?"

Cheng Cheng: "It won't appear anymore. This role has ended. The world of Resident Evil is a huge world. There will be many wonderful and charming characters who will appear one after another."

[Ninth day of filming]
After harvesting.

Beret.

"Many movies nowadays are superstitious about special effects. The most advanced ones are full CG, but the effect of full CG is not that ideal. Until now, the best technology is used to make, for example, XXXX, that face is very close, but because the human face is too complicated, you may have 70 or 80 sets of expressions, but if you use a computer to make it, the eyes are empty."

On the computer screen, there are many different expressions of Samuel.

“So the approach we adopted was to combine physical 3D models with computer CG.”

A physical model of Samuel appears in the picture.

Beret said:

"We first polished Samuel's body, then determined the cutting parts according to the storyboard, and then used laser to cut out the shape of each piece, including the fingers and the head of the female team member. Each piece was made according to the human body structure, numbered, and then pieced together piece by piece. Finally, we strung them together with green sticks, and precisely controlled the direction of the drop. By manual operation, 123, and a pull, the model became broken into pieces."

Voiceover: "Isn't this troublesome?"

Beret: "It's not bad, but every time after taking a photo, I have to put it back together again."

[Awesome, the props are really awesome]

【Can it still be like this? 】

[Oh my god, is this too serious? ]

[The props group can add chicken legs]

[This is a lot of work]

【Big Production】

[No wonder it looks so realistic]

【This kind of movie is good to watch】

[No way, this requires a good understanding of anatomy to be able to produce it rigorously]

【Human Body Jigsaw Puzzle】

【pay tribute】

【This is a real film practitioner】

Here, the documentary revisits the scenes in the movie:
Samuel was helpless in the face of the laser that suddenly turned into a net.

The next second, a coin-sized laser net passed through him, leaving dense bloody lines on his face.

The pupils were cut open, and clear eye fluid flowed out; the lips were cut open, revealing the bright red flesh and uneven teeth inside; the head was cut open, and a pool of yellow and white flowed out, and even the brain could be seen, all cut into pieces.

Finally, he fell to the ground like a building block.
[I was really scared when I saw this]

[I still can’t accept it after watching it again~]
