Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The filming of "Mr. Zombie" went very smoothly with a detailed script and a skilled team.  Of course, this success is not the success of many movies nowadays, where one film takes more than ten days, but the success based on the pursuit of excellence.  Lin Jing learned from Wang Jing¡¯s phone call and decided to take some time to go to the set to have a look.  When she came to the set with Wang Zuxian, the film crew was preparing to shoot the scene where Ren Weiyong transforms into a zombie king and jumps out of the coffin.  At this time, Yuan Hua, who plays the role of the Zombie King, has already put on makeup and is wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, with long blue nails and a face as messed up as rotten wood.  But he didn¡¯t expect that when Wang Zuxian saw it for the first time, he almost laughed rudely if he hadn¡¯t held it back in time.  Even so, Lin Jing still felt her surging smile.  ¡°When I saw Yuan Hua playing a zombie king, the most powerful and terrifying boss in the entire movie, not only did he fail to scare people, but he felt ridiculous.  The whole face looked as if it had been covered with flour. It looked fake and staged, and Lin Jing's brows furrowed involuntarily.  This is a very serious problem.  It seems that there is no good special effects makeup artist in the crew.  Speaking of good professional special effects makeup artists, in fact, even if I searched all over Hong Kong, I couldn¡¯t find a few.  If we talk about this, it still has something to do with the Hong Kong film environment.  It seems that the shooting of Hong Kong movies does not require excellent special effects makeup artists.  For most movies, if it is really needed, the art director will come up.  Let¡¯s discuss it with the director, and then the makeup artist will come in and do a perfunctory job. It¡¯ll be fine if it feels like it¡¯s okay.  There won¡¯t be too much in-depth pursuits.  So we will see on the big screen that in those ghost and fantasy movies, the special effects and makeup are very rough and fake.  ¡°At the end of the day, Hong Kong filmmakers are too obsessed with making action movies.  If we briefly summarize, we will find that the entire history of Hong Kong film.  It's a piece of action movie history.  Hong Kong movies leave an impression on the world, in addition to action movies, they are also action movies.  Science fiction movies are action movies.  Phantom movies are action movies, comedy movies are action movies, cop movies are action movies, and war movies are action movies.  Gangster movie or action movie I thought of this.  Lin Jing couldn't help but sigh in her heart: She was negligent in not discovering the shortcomings of special effects makeup in advance.  "Director Wang, Director Lin, and Teacher Liang, what do you think of the special effects makeup in this movie?" After Lin Jing greeted the crew, she called over director Wang Jing, art director Lin Shile, and makeup artist Liang Yongtao.  During the filming process, Wang Jing, Lin Shile and Liang Yongtao couldn't help but feel a click in their hearts when they were called over by their boss for questioning.  The three of them thought in unison: Could it be that something went wrong and the boss was dissatisfied?  Originally.  In the production of movies, investors are laypeople.  Just watch the fun, you shouldn¡¯t dictate the production of the movie, laymen lead experts.  But in their eyes, or in the eyes of the film workers at Time and Space Film Studio, Lin Jing, the financial backend boss, is not a simple investor.  There are a series of prefixes in front of her name.  In addition, strictly speaking, the script of "Mr. Zombie" should have been written by Lin Jing.  The screenwriter must have had a sample in mind of what this movie would look like when it was shot.  "Is there something wrong with the special effects makeup on Yuan Hua's look?" Wang Jing and Liang Yongtao were still thinking about Lin Jing's question, but art director Lin Shile was the first to think of the key issue.  Lin Shile¡¯s original name is saikanlam, and Lin Shile is just his Chinese name.  In the original history, he was nominated for Best Art Director at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards for "Mr. Zombie".  It should be said that his level is quite good.  In the original "Mr. Zombie", the entire movie's art style was well grasped.  ¡°It¡¯s just that when it comes to special effects makeup, he made the mistake of most Hong Kong filmmakers and didn¡¯t pay attention to special effects makeup.  In fact, this is also related to the directors, the limitations of their vision, and the limitations of the times. The responsibility cannot be entirely placed on them.  On this issue, even if the most famous art director and character stylist in Hong Kong, Zhang Shuping, is called in, it may not be helpful. After all, there are specialties in the art industry.  "Yes." Lin Jing nodded and said, "Although the tone of a movie must be unified, the elements are divided into many parts. Although the tone of our movie is comedy, don't forget that there is also an element of horror.  As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. If the element of terror is not in place, even if other aspects are done well, it will still be a loss. ¡±  Although Lin Jing's words were a little euphemistic, Liang Yongtao still didn't know what the problem was at this time, so he thought about it for a while and asked: "Is it to change Yuanhua's makeup style?" "Then what exactly?  How can this style bring virtual undead like zombies to life? ""This?" Liang Yongtao was speechless.  Wang Jing and Lin Shile were just like him, stunned in embarrassment.  Because at the moment, they couldn't think of any special effects makeup technology that could bring virtual undead like zombies to life, as Lin Jing said.  "Did you think before that it doesn't matter if it's simple and fake? After all, during the filming process, lighting and music must be added to the background. With the lighting and music, the eerie atmosphere comes out, and the audience can easily ignore it.  Is the special effects makeup very fake?" Seeing that they were silent, Lin Jing said a few more words.  ¡°Perhaps Lin Jing¡¯s words broke their minds, Wang Jing scratched his head with a smile.  "Since there are ways to do better, don't just muddle along." Lin Jing said very seriously, "This is my pursuit of reality in film production." "Has Ms. Lin figured out how to make special effects makeup realistic?  How to get up?" Liang Yongtao thought of something and asked.  "The method has been thought of. You go and prepare the materials. We will do a few experiments first to see the effect before making a decision." "What about the filming of the movie?" "Of course we will stop first and solve the problem of special effects makeup.  "Besides." "Honey, food coloring agent, corn syrup, red wine, warm water, milky glue, paper towels, hair dryer, foundation Liang Yongtao saw a long list of daily necessities listed by Lin Jing.  I was confused and excited at the same time.  The question is, are these things really useful?  Excited if it actually works.  Then his special effects makeup technology can definitely be improved to the next level.  Wang Jing, Lin Shile, and other prop masters were all a little confused.  In fact, the method Lin Jing came up with was the zombie special effects makeup technology learned from "Zombie Makeup Science".  Exported zombies are naturally different from traditional Chinese zombies, but they all have one thing in common, they are all walking corpses.  A "living" corpse.  Since they are all corpses, why not learn from the special effects makeup technology of zombies, as long as it can be transformed into the special effects makeup technology of zombies.  After Liang Yongtao and other prop masters found all the materials Lin Jing needed.  Lin Jing was on the set and started experimenting with zombie special effects makeup in public.  "What is Miss Lin doing?" "I heard that she is teaching makeup artist Liang real special effects makeup techniques." "How is this possible, Miss Lin can teach you this?" "What is impossible, isn't it going on right in front of you?  "Seeing is believing." When the "audience" is watching and discussing.  Lin Jing was conducting her experiments in an orderly manner.  First, honey, food coloring agents, corn syrup, red wine, etc. are used to mix the viscous red-black "corpse blood".  Then, an experimental volunteer was found, and he sacrificed himself to go into battle in order to "steal" Liang Yongtao.  With Liang Yongtao as a volunteer, Lin Jing began to put makeup on him.  Of course, it was not done directly on the face at first, but with Liang Yongtao's arms.  First, apply a small piece of latex on Liang Yongtao's arm, and then stick a layer of paper towel on the latex on the arm.  The purpose of paper towels is to create a three-dimensional effect.  Therefore, this layer of paper towel needs to be thin and flexible, otherwise it will be used next.  It breaks easily.  After attaching the tissue, apply foundation cream and powder directly on the tissue to make it look like it matches the skin tone of the arm.  After this step, the next step is the key - coloring.  For coloring, you use the previously prepared "corpse blood", dark or light, and apply it evenly to the skin that already shows a three-dimensional effect.  "Wow!" When the painting was finished, the "audience" let out a burst of exclamation.  "This special effects makeup really looks like a hideous wound that has been rotting for a long time." "It's really amazing." "Am I the only one who thinks this looks disgusting and scary?" "If it really feels disgusting and scary.  , It shows that the effect has been achieved. " "Today is an eye-opener." Wang Jing said enthusiastically.  Even Lin Zhengying, who has always been a bit serious and old-fashioned, saw it and praised her: "Ms. Lin, your special effects makeup technology is simplyPeople are amazed.  " "This is just the simplest zombie special effects makeup technology. I will explain it to you in detail.  As for actually using it on your face, you also need to spend a lot of time learning to use it.  "Lin Jing said. "Of course, since ancient times, masters have led people in, and cultivation is personal.  "Liang Yongtao said nonchalantly. "And even if it wastes such a small amount of time, it will undoubtedly be worth it if the film can be produced with better results.  " "You have to hurry up in terms of time, but there is no time limit. The key is to learn well.  After all, special effects makeup is not just for one or two movies. I plan to establish a special effects makeup department in the studio to specialize in special effects makeup research.  "Lin Jing timely revealed her plan to establish a special effects makeup department. "In the future, the space-time film studio will definitely not be limited to action movies, but will let a hundred flowers bloom. As long as it is a good movie, we will look for opportunities to make it.  It will definitely require a professional special effects makeup team and a computer special effects team.  A pile of mud.  " "Well, the method has been handed over to you. I will need to see the best results by then.  "The best effect, reflected in the movie "Mr. Zombie", is of course the most terrifying effect. (To be continued)
