" Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Temple " has been criticized recently. Perhaps we can see the shortcomings of this drama in production from the behind-the-scenes footage. Many of the behind-the-scenes footage were shot by the staff involved in the shooting, which is very real.
Film and television shooting for various reasons, more or less, they will use stand-in for more or less, and this drama is no exception. Uncle Ming plays Tang Zhenye posted a video himself, and his substitute was able to show his face.
The video content is that the staff wanted to hand over the water cup to Tang Zhenye, but when they approached, they found that it was a substitute. The person was holding a lunch box in the distance, preparing to eat.
It’s true that this substitute looks quite like Tang Zhenye, but she is a little thinner.
Other actors also use stand-in.
Shirley Yang and A Xiang were sucked away by the monster Xue Maitreya. Zhang Yuqi and A Xiang both used a stand-in. The side face and body shape of the stand-in are still somewhat different from Zhang Yuqi.
In the main film, Zhang Yuqi showed her face and made a surprised expression, and then switched to the scene where Shirley Yang and A Xiang were sucked away.
From many behind-the-scenes, Pan Yueming is still very hard to shoot " Kunlun Temple ".
The scene of the altar battle with the boss, Pan Yueming hung his Wiya and rode on the head of the beast. The head of the beast was controlled by the staff and shook violently up and down.
Pan Yueming rode on it and stabbed the "monster" hard with a dagger. The "monster" struggled so hard that he was almost pushed down. Judging from the behind-the-scenes footage, Pan Yueming's acting is quite realistic.
In the play, Hu Bayi hung upside down on the stone pillar, caught the torch thrown by Fatty Wang, and burned Xue Maitreya to death. At the filming site, Pan Yueming was fixed by Duogenweia, slowly hanged upwards, and then hung upside down for a long time. A man in green, holding a torch, kept spinning and handing it to him.
Of course, Pan Yueming also uses a substitute.
In the scene of the battle with the Spotted Dragon in Evil Luohai City, there was a situation where actors took turns to use stand-in. This scene was filmed by at the end of October 2020. In a behind-the-scenes video, Hu Bayi and Uncle Ming are both played by substitutes, and Wang Fatty is played by Jiang Chao .
In another behind-the-scenes video, Fatty Wang and Uncle Ming are played by a stand-in. Jiang Chao's stand-in is quite different from his original body, and he is obviously much thinner; Hu Bayi is played by Pan Yueming himself.
In this way, sometimes celebrities use stand-in not to be lazy, but mainly because they cannot coordinate the schedule and cannot shoot at the same time.
Some scenes were shot in front of the green screen in the studio, and the scene looked a bit funny.
The protagonists drove on the mountain road, and the scene was bumpy. At the shooting site, the car was mounted on four used tires. Many staff members stood on both sides, lying on the roof, constantly shaking the car.
Shirley Yang fell into the cliff and fell into the lake. After getting ashore, she fought against the spotted dragon. Of course, there were no real monsters on the scene. Zhang Yuqi first shot in the east, south and north directions, and then used the gun to hit the air hard.
The scene of the final altar collapse will of course not really collapse. There will be staff members loudly giving voice prompts such as "The bridge falls, falls, comes, goes in". The actors performed accordingly accordingly.
The daughter of "First Junior High School" is child star Ma Qianyi . Unexpectedly, she had a very big show at the shooting site. Before the shooting, there were seven or eight staff members "serving" her. Some of them put on makeup, some of them adjust their clothes, and some of them put on their hair...
During the shooting, Ma Qianyi was lying on the ground to rest, and there were still a bunch of staff surrounding her, some of them put on makeup, and some fanning her. It was summer, the temperature was close to 40 degrees, and it was still on the plateau, so she was wearing a sweater and cotton-padded jacket, which was really uncomfortable.
Ma Qianyi has such a show mainly because she is also a star. She once played the daughter of Tan Zhuo in the popular " I Am Not a Medicine God ", and is also an assistant actor in " I Am an Actor ". She has participated in the shooting of many film and television works.
Ma Qianyi has such a pomp, let alone a popular actress like Zhang Yuqi. In a scene where she walked out of the car with a backpack on her backpack. As soon as she walked out of the camera, a staff member immediately went up to catch the "heavy" backpack. She naturally passed the bag to the staff.
From this detail, we can see that some celebrities are quite expensive in the crew and are not "high-risk occupations" at all.
From the behind-the-scenes, it can be seen that the crew has invested a lot in setting up scenes and making models, so many fictional scenes look very textured.
Yang Shuna accidentally fell into the ground and saw a real ice tomb. In the film, the ice looks very realistic.
Because these ices are real, in mid-August 2020, the crew really built a large ice wall in the studio and made many erected ice coffins .
The crew really created "a snow mountain". The behind-the-scenes correspond to the scene where Hu Bayi and his group ambush the White Wolf King in the snow. The actors walked in the "snow mountain" and looked very small.
A group of people climbed mountains and rivers to climb the temple of Reincarnation was also a scene. The crew created a decent earth mountain, which was two stories high.
The huge nine-story demon tower and Evil Luohai City were also built. There are also realistic models of the Demon Kingdom jellyfish and crystal coffin on the shooting site.
Most of the monsters in the drama, the crew made models of the head half for actual shooting, and the remaining half of the body was added in the later stage, which saves a lot of trouble.
Many times, there is really "snow" floating in the shed. Of course, it is not real snow. Two staff members each held a bag of white powder, stood next to a large fan, constantly "making snow".
After watching these behind-the-scenes, do you think it’s quite disillusioned?
To sum up, the crew of "Kunlun Temple" has invested a lot in production, but the most important investment is spent on building models, so the investment in special effects is naturally much less, so the special effects look a bit cheap.
