The Director of Music Department

"The Martian" is a one-man show, and a one-man show usually means less interaction.

Then at this time, it is a test of the director's control ability and the tension of the plot.

What do you do when you are alone on Mars?

To make these things into a movie, and to make the audience not feel bored, but attracted instead, there must be something.

Every movie needs some amazing shots.

The same goes for The Martian.

"Okay, everything is ready, let's continue."

Wang Yifan clapped his hands to greet everyone to get ready for the work. After more than half an hour of busy work, the filming continued. The next thing I want to shoot is a very special shot of "The Martian".

It is the scene of Li Junsheng self-healing after being injured.

"Scene 28, first shot, first time!"

"start."

Enduring severe pain, Li Junsheng walked into the human base on Mars and closed the door. He had an obvious pause, because his abdomen was severely injured, and the wound would be pulled if he exerted force.

But it was just a tight pause for less than a second, and then the door was slammed shut with a "dong" sound.

The three close-up shots on the face, hands, and stomach are perfect.

Then in the second shot, Li Junsheng quickly took off his helmet and gloves, and untied his vest and backpack.

The whole movement can be said to be done in one go, fast and orderly, and there is no panic after the injury, showing perseverance and professionalism!

Then he pulled out the antenna in his abdomen very decisively. He took a few deep breaths, and within half a second, before anyone could see clearly, he quickly pulled out the antenna that was stuck in his abdomen. Throwing it aside, the whole process was done in one go without any pause.

In the third step, he took off his spacesuit, cut off his T-shirt with scissors, and began to perform "surgery" on himself.

This shot ends here, and the subsequent "surgery" shot is the next shot.

"Very good, it's over!" This scene went smoothly, and Li Junsheng was getting better and better.

However, the next scene is the time to test Li Junsheng's acting skills.

Although he was very confident in Li Junsheng's acting skills, Wang Yifan still asked him to take a break to prepare for the test of the next scene.

Ten minutes passed.

Wang Yifan asked with a smile, "Junsheng, how are you doing?"

Li Junsheng nodded confidently and said, "No problem at all."

"Okay, then let's fight for it once!"

"Every department is in place, ready to start filming!"

"Scene 28, third shot, first time! Start!"

With the sound of playing the board, the shot officially began.

Wang Yifan sat behind the monitor and looked at the monitor. In the middle of the camera, Li Junsheng found a chair and sat down half-lying, and moved a small mirror in front of him, which was a little bigger than a palm, to face the wound on his abdomen.

A muscular body with a six-pack abs on the stomach, and a layer of props has been pasted on the small part on the right. The props are very realistic, and the wound looks real.

Li Junsheng took a few deep breaths violently, and then slowly enlarged the wound with a dilator, followed by his breathing getting louder and louder.

Gu Guanyun scraped the bone to treat poison, and what Li Junsheng was going to do this time, although it could not be compared with scraping the bone to cure poison, was quite a "tough guy"!

Different from the helpless choice made under the despair of "127 Hours", the astronaut played by Li Junsheng has no despair, but only perseverance and heroism.

These are two completely different personalities and identities.

Without any hesitation, he took the tweezers with the other hand, reached into the expanded wound, found the remaining foreign object inside, and grabbed it out.

The camera was firmly focused on the wound and the situation reflected in the mirror. During the whole process, Li Junsheng only had the sound of panting, a scream, and no shouting.

But those different panting sounds, coupled with this scene, are already creepy enough.

After performing the operation on himself, he still had time to compare the foreign object taken out from his stomach with the antenna that was pulled out just now, which was exactly what was put on the other end.

"Okay! Pass!" Wang Yifan shouted excitedly.

This shot is not easy. Although commercial films do not have such high requirements for acting skills, it still depends on the situation.

"The Martian" is a one-man show, and this passage is the essence of the one-man show.

Li Junsheng is the only one in the camera. If his movements are slightly slow, or if his expression or breath is not in place, it will be infinitely magnified, because there is no one else in the camera, so the audience must be staring at him.

It's really not easy to pass it once!

"Makeup artist, touch up his makeup...Okay, let's keep another one!"

"Scene 28, third shot, second time! Start!"

The second shot was also very smooth, so let’s pass this one.

"How about the next shot? Are you confident?" Wang Yifan asked Li Junsheng with a smile.

Li Junsheng smiled wryly and said, "To be honest, I really don't have much confidence! But, how did you come up with this?"

"Watching "Three Kingdoms", the ancient Guan Yunchang scraped the bone to heal the poison, and now our astronauts stitch the wound with a stapler, it's not bad!" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

In fact, the previous ones are easier to talk about, but in the next shot, the stapler is used as a needle to sew the wound, and the stitches are dry. The pain is completely different from the previous injury and removal of foreign objects.

And the key is this feeling, you can't really experience it!

Therefore, this is the reason why Li Junsheng said that he did not have the confidence to pass it once!

"Actually, I looked for Qin Hao." Li Junsheng said with a smile.

"Oh? How is it? What's your experience?" Wang Yifan asked curiously.

Although Qin Hao is not as famous as Li Junsheng, he has acted in "127 Hours", in which Qin Hao broke his arm and escaped. In fact, to a certain extent, it is very similar to stitches on a stapler Of course, this similarity does not mean similar movements and behaviors, but pain!

"There are still some, and I have watched "127 Hours" several times. How should I put it, the control of breath is very important." Li Junsheng said.

"Okay, you let go of the acting, anyway, we are not in a hurry today, so if we can't do it, we can shoot more." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Li Junsheng nodded.

This shot may not be so important to the advancement of the plot, but it is indispensable to the entire movie.

It can be said to be a key shot.

"Scene 28, the fourth scene, the first time, start!"

In the previous scene, although no anesthetic was used, Li Junsheng took out the foreign object from the wound so roughly, Li Junsheng did not show a very painful feeling, because he is a tough guy, and, although this kind of action is painful, it is obviously Not yet.

However, the movie is not only highlighted through expressions and movements, but also other things, such as his body and face are covered with sweat, even his hair is wet, and his face twitches slightly, it is known that he is not as calm as he appears on the surface.
