Chapter 68 The Makeup Artist's Wonderful Pen

The scenes of digging the heart and tearing the scalp are also done in the same way. During the filming, all the actors need to do is hideous and painful facial expressions, and the rest is left to the silicone prosthesis. This is the role of the current horror props.

After Li Yihua's explanation, Huang Hai felt a sudden enlightenment and his thoughts were opened up. He hurriedly asked his assistant to go out to buy silicone, intending to make silicone props to see if it was as realistic as mentioned.

Thinking of the backwardness of props, the current plasma must be tomato sauce. For horror films, plasma is undoubtedly an indispensable prop. Compared with emerging technologies such as computer special effects, making fake plasma can be regarded as a "craft passed down from generation to generation" for props.

Li Yihua decided not to use tomato sauce, but to make fake plasma using pigments, honey, water or alcohol. The honey is responsible for adjusting the viscosity and making the fake plasma look more real. Li Yihua asked the reporter to buy back those things and debug them to make it look more real.

The color of plasma is actually also important, because after the blood leaves the human body, the color will change. The blood that just flows out will be a little pink and is relatively fresh. It will slowly turn black over time. At this time, you need to add some green and brown to blend.

After finishing his knowledge of props, Li Yihua communicated with makeup artist Chen Su again. He could not lose in terms of details. He hoped that everything would be perfect and perfect, and to do his best to do his best to think of everything.

Makeup artists are definitely a magical profession. If a movie leaves a makeup artist, it can be said that this movie cannot be successful. Makeup artists have certain artistic attainments, aesthetic literacy, basic historical knowledge of painting and observation, and ability to analyze life. They can master and skillfully use makeup techniques and techniques to lead and guide assistants to complete the makeup tasks specified in the film. Their hands can definitely be decayed into magic, allowing a movie to be displayed in front of the camera more vividly.

"Brother Su, what do you think of makeup in this drama?" Li Yihua still wants to understand the current Hong Kong makeup realm so that he can make his own requests.

"Director Li, I think this drama should be mainly yin energy, so we want to use heavy makeup to highlight the horror effect and make the visual sense stronger..."

After collaborating with so many horror film directors, it can be said that he is now at his highest level, and he has made sufficient preparations than any previous drama. He is very confident and looks light in form.

"Is it just these? Is there no other props to assist?" Li Yihua didn't expect that his makeup was still so backward now, which obviously did not meet his requirements.

"Assisted props? What is that?" Chen Su looked puzzled. He also needed auxiliary props for makeup. This was the first time he had heard of it.

"How about using thin silicone skin for wounds?" After careful consideration, Li Yihua decided to use the silicone prop. He will use it sooner or later. So long as he can become a pioneer and set a precedent for the Hong Kong prop industry.

"Isn't silicone wound the same as using pig skin for wounds?" Chen Su raised his question with concern. He used to use pig skin for movies, which is also the most commonly used tool.

"People can see the wounds of pig skin at a glance, so there is no association. The advantage of silicone is that it cannot be easily seen. Of course, this also requires the help of a makeup artist." Li Yihua once again acted as a lecturer to explain modern makeup to Chen Su.

One disadvantage of using silicone for wounds is that it takes a long time. Because the scar makeup on the face is very high, only one head should be divided into five parts: forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and neck. The requirements for each part are different. However, as mentioned before, the foundation is based on silicone, but the silicone for scars should be very, very thin, try to be like the skin, and then the makeup artist should display his skills on this thin layer of silicone.

In fact, there are also many differences in wound makeup. Although wound makeup is a common special-effect makeup, every time you receive such a task, you must first ask clearly what the circumstances are scars, gunshot wounds, bayonet wounds, explosion wounds or burns formed. Each type of wound is different, so different preparations need to be made according to different situations.

After some explanation, Chen Su was still skeptical, and it seemed that practice was the only standard. No matter how good he said it was, it was not as good as a thing, so Li Yihua asked the actors to sit there and conduct makeup experiments.

Chen Su demonstrated a small piece of "scratch makeup" on the cheek of the supporting actor. Li Yihua guided him next to him. In order to achieve a realistic effect, Chen Su held various paint pens to paint the actor's faces continuously, from the bruises on the outer side to the blood and blood that were defeated in the center, and took more than a dozen times. A scratch as big as a thumb took up for half an hour.

Looking at this "scratch makeup", Chen Su himself couldn't believe that it was painted by himself. After so many years of makeup, he had never painted such realistic makeup again. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. It turned out that he was not in this industry before.

"This... this... director, you're so coincidental. This is definitely a revolution. This is definitely a magic weapon for makeup! It's really yours. How can your mind grow? It's all weird ideas. This not only can solve this problem, but also make the whole movie so realistically. It is definitely a milestone in the history of film."

Chen Su was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and he was full of surprises. For himself who loves makeup, he decided to be a rare opportunity to practice.

Li Yihua's creativity is very simple, but it undoubtedly has a great impact on these makeup artists in the 1980s. Looking at Chen Su's excited look, Li Yihua felt embarrassed, not because of anything else, but because this method is not a big deal in the future, and any director will use it for filming.|

"Hahaha... This is what I thought of by accident. It's just a coincidence. I really need the superb makeup skills of the makeup artist. I just have an idea!" Listening to Chen Su's praise, Li Yihua waved his hand quickly, looking humble.

"Director, don't be modest. Just your thoughts can tell that you have your own opinions on makeup,"}

Chen Su did not listen to Li Yihua's modesty and excitedly studied new makeup techniques. For real enthusiasts, this is the real fun.

"Brother Su, I'll trouble you with those makeup actors." Li Yihua saw Chen Su studying makeup and stood up to leave, but he still didn't forget to tell him about the makeup on "Saw".
