In recent years, whenever a new drama is released, it is always accompanied by a burst of praise: Domestic martial arts dramas have become popular, the protagonist's acting skills are great, and the way of service is highly restored.
However, when the main film started airing, it turned out to be an embarrassing scene in capital letters. Either the male and female lead actors were out of tune, or the special effects cost 50 cents, and the overall picture was seriously pornographic.
What is even more surprising is that in order to "save trouble", today's domestic dramas have reached the point where they only dare to shoot the upper body!
And when the camera pans out, the heroine cannot be held, cannot ride a horse, various arms and legs are replaced, and even the height difference is faked. It is really surprising. How come the threshold for becoming an actor has become so low now?
Today let us take a look at the lower body that the audience will never "see".
1. A weak and tough guy who cannot hold the heroine
In movies and TV dramas, we often see princess hugs like this.
may also be like this.
Many young girls are chewing sweets in front of the screen, while imagining that one day they will have a prince charming who can hug me like this!
But don’t worry, because Prince Charming under the panoramic view may look like this.
may also be like this.
Although today's actresses are all slender and weigh less than 100, , for many male actors who have no strength, it is still an arduous task that cannot be completed.
Lin Gengxin is known as the "dream of 900 million girls". Over the years since his debut, he has been active in front of the screen with a tall and powerful image. When filming " Chu Qiao Biography ", he was even fatter and was frequently complained by netizens. .
But what is extremely inconsistent with his image is that he is also a handsome man with no strength. He can't even lift Zhao Liying who weighs less than 90 kilograms!
During the filming of The Legend of Chu Qiao, there was a scene where Princess Lin Gengxin hugged Zhao Liying.
Judging from the picture, it was very difficult for Lin Gengxin to pick up Zhao Liying from the beginning.
After finally picking him up, he almost fell down due to lack of physical strength after walking a few steps!
In the end, the camera crew had to find a wooden box for Zhao Liying to sit on, while the camera only filmed the upper bodies of the two actors throughout the whole process.
Coincidentally, Gao Weiguang and Dilraba were also awkwardly capitalized when filming the princess hug scene.
Gao Weiguang is nearly 1.9 meters tall. From the fashion blockbusters released before, it is easy to see that he has always followed the tough guy route.
But when it came to a real test of physical strength, his crotch stretched instantly. The curator had to sigh, It turns out that a man with chest muscles can still be so weak!
After just a short hug, Gao Weiguang was so tired that he was sweating profusely and had to lean on the wall to stand with difficulty.
What’s even more outrageous is that he didn’t have enough physical strength to hold Reba . He even deliberately said that Reba was not light in front of the camera. It was really speechless.
Xu Weizhou and Qiao Xin were filming the TV series. It can also be seen from the panoramic photos that Qiao Xin was sitting on the box, while Xu Weizhou pretended to be a princess and carried his lines in front of the camera.
In fact, many netizens believe that the images presented in domestic dramas have become increasingly watery in recent years.
At first, the curator couldn't find the reason until he saw their state during filming. As the male protagonist, they were all helpless and had to fake it even to hug the female protagonist.
How can it be possible to produce a good drama with such an attitude?
If you ask me, he must be an old actor from before. He is also labeled as a tough guy, but his tendon meat is real.
Not only did he do all the physical scenes himself, but he also never hired a substitute for some dangerous martial arts scenes.
Comparing the two, there is really a reason why the works shot by the older generation can become classics!
2. Air Horseback Riding
The curator loved watching martial arts dramas when he was a child, especially the heroic figures of the heroines on horseback.
such as Zhao Min looks back with a smile.
Another example is Maggie Cheung who is galloping freely in the desert.
Every frown and every smile is a painting, and any picture you take will look beautiful.
However, in current domestic dramas, horse riding seems to be very sophisticated. People are moving, but they always feel like they are not moving.
I didn’t see the dashing heroine, but the feeling of riding a donkey was very strong.
At first, the curator never understood why there was such a big gap since they were both riding horses.
It wasn’t until I saw the full shot that I realized that today’s film crews basically no longer use real horses to save trouble.
The quality of the prop horse also completely depends on the conscience of the crew.
The more conscientious production team will produce sophisticated simulation horses, and then undergo high-quality post-processing. In fact, the effect presented on the screen can almost be fake.
The somewhat conscientious crew could not buy good horses due to limited funds, so they could only use horses with cataracts to ride for the protagonist.
But don’t mind it, because this is already pretty good.
After all, among the vast majority of the crew, has no physical horse riding and already occupies the majority.
For example, I just set up a wooden frame and asked the heroine to hold a rope and perform horse riding by herself.
For another example, a group of knights rode down the mountain. In fact, there was not even a wooden frame, they were just messing around on their own.
I always thought that it was a very romantic thing for the male and female protagonists to ride a horse together, but this...why is it a bit vulgar?
In fact, after watching these behind-the-scenes scenes, many readers will have the same mentality as the curator. They are willing to give the crew tens of millions in remuneration, but why are they not willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy a few horses?
Although this seems to be spending more money to buy the horse, doesn't it also save money in the later period?
But in fact, it is not that the crew wants to cut corners and reduce costs.
But in recent years, actors have frequently fallen off their horses during filming. On the one hand, the crew does not dare to take such a big risk and use real horses. On the other hand, if the leading actor is injured, it will affect the entire team. shooting progress.
For example, when Zhao Liying was filming "Agarwood in the Palace", there was a scene where she was defeated, and the directors wanted to use a dummy or a stand-in.
But Zhao Liying chose to act in person for the sake of visual effects.
As a result, he fell heavily to the ground and was immediately taken to the hospital by ambulance.
also left a bulge on her back, which was very obvious every time she wore a backless dress.
Even if it is covered with tattoos, the bulge is still very prominent.
Lin Chiling also accidentally fell off her horse while filming a horse riding scene. She was lying on the ground unable to get up, and was eventually rushed to the hospital by ambulance for treatment.
Just last year, there was news about extra actors claiming compensation from the crew because they were seriously injured after falling off a horse.
In fact, in the entertainment industry, situations such as air riding, hand substitution, and leg substitution happen from time to time.
Many viewers believe that this is the fundamental reason for the decline of domestic dramas.
But in the curator's view, the ultimate goal of filming film and television works is to tell a story to the audience and show exquisite pictures.
As an audience, as long as we see that the picture is good, there is no need to be too harsh on the behind-the-scenes.
But we also resolutely resist from the bottom of our hearts those crews who deliberately fool them.
