The peak acting skills of the actor

Chapter 347
In an office rented by the crew...

"Everything is ready now, but the child actor who plays the protagonist's childhood is short of it!" As the director and screenwriter of "A Beautiful Shadow on the Wilderness", Duo Lei was helpless.

Cheng Feng frowned and asked, "I haven't found a suitable child actor yet?"

Dore nodded, frowning.

Cheng Feng thought for a while, and then said: "There can be no delay, the whole project has a time limit, or we should put the protagonist's childhood experience in a later stage.

Let's shoot the adult drama first! "

Duo Lei and other staff members all bowed their heads in thought, feeling that this is the only way now!
"May I share my opinion?" At this moment, Tang Ren, who was in charge of special effects for the scene, interrupted everyone's thinking.

"Yes! What's your opinion?" Cheng Feng asked.

"The protagonist's childhood experiences, you can definitely play the role!"

"Pull it down, with my old face and stature, everyone knows I'm not a child!"

Tang Ren immediately smiled and shook his head, "You didn't understand what I meant, I mean, our team can use special effects to turn you into a child.

And, someone has done this before..."

"Who is it?" Cheng Feng subconsciously asked curiously.

According to Tang Ren's story, there have been cases of very successful adults starring in children's films in Hollywood.

The person Tang Ren was talking about was the veteran Hollywood actor, Tom Hanks, the actor who starred in "Saving Private Ryan".

In the animated film "The Polar Express", he played three roles, namely two supporting roles, the train conductor and Santa Claus, and finally played the leading role of a six or seven-year-old boy.

This movie was released in 2005. Cheng Feng frowned when he heard the words, and then said: "But it's an animation movie, the realistic effect may not be that good!"

"This is not a problem at all, whether it is Thanos or Iron Man in the Marvel movies, even a small one like Rocket Raccoon is done through facial motion capture technology combined with computer special effects.

A kid can do it! "

Cheng Feng asked: "Can you really achieve the effect of restoring a real person?"

Tang Ren nodded with confidence in his eyes. He did this because he hoped that his team would participate more in the film. He had already read the plot. When he finished the script and designed the special effects plan with the team, everyone would know , The plot of this film is excellent, knowing that after the filming of this film, it will definitely become a classic without any accidents.

The higher the participation in the team's special effects, the higher the popularity will be at that time. Cheng Feng also knows this. After all, he is also one of the shareholders of Xuanyuan Special Effects. If Xuanyuan Special Effects can make a name for himself with this film , is also a thing to sit back and enjoy.

"Okay! That's the decision! I'll use special effects techniques, and I'll play the protagonist's childhood."

Cheng Feng sighed in his heart, since he played various characters, this time there is another type of role, kid!

As a result, the rhythm of the next shooting has been set, and all the crew members are busy.

Directors Dolei and Tang Ren were responsible for the special effects scenes, communicating from time to time, trying to restore the scene in his mind as much as possible.

The other staff perform their duties, and everyone is preparing nervously for the filming of the film.

And Cheng Feng didn't take time off either. For this shooting, there was another special challenge for him, that is, on the basis of the original, he still had to figure out how to deduce the appearance of a child.

Since getting the system, Cheng Feng has continuously absorbed nutrients from each character through the state of each system character possessed. His acting skills are no longer comparable to his past self.

But for this shooting, the system did not give any roles, this time Cheng Feng had to rely on his own ability to play the male lead in the film.

The protagonist, Cheng Feng, has already figured it out, so it's not a big problem, but now there is one more thing, the interpretation of the protagonist's childhood state.

So much so that during the preparation for the filming, Cheng Feng kept himself locked in the hotel room rented by the crew, constantly mobilizing himself.

Cheng Feng recalled his childhood appearance, combined with the character traits of the adult protagonist in the plot.

First of all the main character is an extrovert, he is lively, mischievous and sometimes even bossy!
But Cheng Feng, after carefully analyzing the plot, found that the protagonist had a faint sadness deep in his heart, as well as a trace of inferiority. This inferiority stemmed from the fact that he was an orphan and saw the death of his adoptive father with his own eyes.

Thinking about this, Cheng Feng felt that to play this role well, especially when the protagonist was a child, two stages were needed.

First of all, it can be seen from the plot that the protagonist was lively, innocent, and even naughty when he was a child, especially the characteristic of naughtiness, which is retained in the protagonist even when he is an adult.

But this does not mean that the protagonist has always been like this when he was a child, at least after his adoptive father passed away, the child's eyes will show maturity and a touch of sadness.

Thinking of this, Cheng Feng kept locking himself in the hotel room, and combined with the plot he had memorized by himself, simulated the set, and continued to perform.

During this week, when someone walked by the door of Chengfeng Hotel, they would hear various voices in the room.

Or sad or happy, or laugh or scold, or sing loudly, or cry!
Fortunately, the entire floor of this hotel is the residence of the crew, and everyone passing by will understand what Cheng Feng is doing.

But if ordinary people pass by, either they think it is haunted, or there is a mental patient living there.

A week later...

Cheng Feng was dressed in tight black clothes all over his body, and there were sensors on his face and joints of his limbs.

At the moment, he is busy cooperating with the debugging of motion expression capture equipment, data collection and character construction.

Cheng Feng wore a fiber helmet on his head, and a camera hung in front of him.

There are lights on the edge of the helmet, illuminating Cheng Feng's face very well, and Cheng Feng meets the requirements of special effects personnel as much as possible.

Laughing for a while, crying for a while, sad for a while, and shocked for a while.

Either the whole person is running around, or the whole person is rolling, walking, or jumping on the ground!

Satisfy the special effects personnel as much as possible, and collect Cheng Feng's body movements and facial expressions.

Then the special effects personnel, combined with Cheng Feng's own behavioral characteristics, designed, modeled, rendered, and processed a virtual child Cheng Feng.

And Cheng Feng, wearing this outfit, was already out of breath from exhaustion.

In addition to the data collection of Cheng Feng, there is also data collection of stuntmen.

The stand-in actor is a child, because in some scenes, this child needs to be replaced.

For example, in the movie, there will be a scene where a child is picked up by an adult, which requires the child to replace Cheng Feng to complete it.

You can't let the actor hold Cheng Feng, a 1.8-meter person, and throw it around.

In this way, after a series of preliminary preparations, the shooting time of "A Beautiful Shadow on the Wilderness" is getting closer...
