Special feature of 1905 film network The live-action version released last weekend performed well, earning 300 million box office in three days. In the film, there are beautiful songs, beautiful dances, beautiful castles and beautiful costumes. The picture of Miss Watsons dancing in a yellow bubble skirt is simply beautiful! But the fly in the ointment is that our "big cousin" Dan Stevens’s Zhang Shuai face appeared for a minute.
May I ask the director, do you have a problem with our "Downton Tun" paper? Are you jealous of our big cousin’s prosperous beauty? Let’s take a quick look at the beautiful photos of our big cousin.
This "line of beauty" is a three-episode mini-drama produced by BBC, and friends who are interested in the rot drama can go and watch their big cousin at the peak of Yan value.
My eldest cousin has been filming for many years, and has been wandering around the small screen or acting as a walk-on for movies. At the age of 35, first hero, a popular Disney commercial film, finally got it. I didn’t expect to stand on stilts and wear muscle stuffing clothes to play against Miss Watsons throughout the filming. If what you see in the cinema is a dubbing version, it will be even worse. Even the magnetic voice and singing of the big cousin can’t be heard, and the only thing that can capture the imprint of the big cousin is those blue eyes.
But then again, when a fake like big cousin.·There are not a few situations in which the protagonist can’t show his face. The following small series will take you back.
I. Michael Fassbender in
What the hell is this? This is not the kind of big-headed doll that we often see in Chinese New Year! Behind this ridiculous and weird mask lies another guard. That’s our "French shark" Michael Fassbender (for the "heavy taste preference" of French sharks, please refer to our previous article "The Eight Diagrams of X-Men: The Mystery of One-America Divorce and the Heavy Taste of French Sharks" for details.）。
Frank, the protagonist of the film, is the lead singer of an English underground band and a talented psychopath. He has never taken off this headgear since he was 14 years old. Not only singing with a hood, but also eating with a hood. As a result, I can only eat liquid food, and I don’t even want to take off my hood in the shower. Therefore, the shark in the film can’t show its face at all except for the last few minutes.
What’s even more amazing is that the image of Frank is not fabricated out of thin air. He comes from Chris Sievey, a singer and actor who was very popular in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s. Sievey was first recognized by the public as the lead singer of a punk band The Freshies, and later turned to be a comedian, creating the comic image of Frank Sidebottom (yes, Frank) and being active on the small screen. Sievey died suddenly at the age of 54 in 2010, and jon ronson, the keyboard player of his band, wrote this play in memory of him.
In 2014, when he starred in "Frank", the French shark had already made it to Hollywood by waiting for other films, but he still starred in this small-budget cult film with his consistent love for literary films and independent films. And it turns out that despite wearing a hood all the time, we can still detect Frank’s cowardice, nervousness, brilliance and obstacles to self-identity from the body language of the shark.
Second, Hugo Weaving in
Among these faceless roles, if Hugo Weaving in "V for Vendetta" ranks second, almost no one dares to rank first (of course, Edward Harrison Norton fans may protest).
The film, adapted from the novel of the same name by Alan Moore, tells that Britain will become an authoritarian country with centralized system in the future, and the whole country will be shrouded in the white terror of the head of state Sutler. Hugo Weaving plays a mysterious anarchist V, who has an extraordinary physical quality because he was once used by a prison to do biological experiments. He escaped from the prison in a fire and was burned beyond recognition, so he wore a mask and never showed his true colors.
The film is a collection of "Fried Uncle", john hurt and many other British actors, as well as Natalie Portman, who just played the Queen in the prequel, but the most impressive thing is Hugo Weaving, who can’t show his face. Through his magnetic voice and profound lines, he showed a rich sense of hierarchy and unique texture, which made this rambling neurotic and idealist come to life.
Moreover, Hugo Weaving in those days was not the image of the elderly in today’s movies. After all, he was a man who played "bullet time" with the savior Neo in the movies and played the elf king in the movies. I don’t know if it is addictive to play such a faceless role. In 2011, he played the red skull in the movie, and he couldn’t show his face half the time.
Third, Edward Harrison Norton in
Ridley scott, a great American film director, has always wanted to make a film about the Middle Ages and knights. Finally, he realized this wish in the 2005 "Kingdom of Heaven". Based on the real history of the European Crusades, this film is a masterpiece in terms of script structure, cast and scene construction, but it is a pity that the whole film has no other highlights except Edward Harrison Norton.
Edward Harrison Norton has always been a powerful actor who won by acting, and he is always willing to choose some eccentric and paranoid roles. For example, baldwin iv of jerusalem in "Kingdom of Heaven" wears a silver mask in all the films because he has leprosy since childhood. However, Norton completed the last strong man of the Jerusalem dynasty, who was weak, sick, brave, resourceful and caring for the world, only by virtue of the shaping of his voice, which can be called an acting textbook.
Compared with those small fresh meat and flowers in China who have poor lines and don’t even recite lines, you will find that the gap between people is so big! Moreover, Edward Harrison Norton’s face value is not low, and people were even with Brad Pitt!
four、Lee Kwang Soo in
Lee Kwang Soo, the "giraffe" in Running Man, is also a sad advocate. He was bullied by various kinds in variety shows, and finally became a leading actor in a movie, but he could not show his face. In this film, he plays a young loser who takes part in a drug experiment, because the side effects of the drug actually turn his upper body into a fish. After being exposed by the media at first, he was regarded as an idol by the masses, but then the wind of public opinion changed and he became a disgusting devil and monster.
There are only two scenes of Lee Kwang Soo’s appearance in the whole film, and they are all in photos. During the filming, he spent 4-6 hours every day on special effects makeup, and then put on a fish head mask weighing 8 kilograms, not to mention eating, and even breathing was a problem. However, he explained this timid, cowardly and freedom-hungry role well.
The giraffe, who is 190cm tall and has been a model and has long legs, said, can’t I be a quiet handsome man? !
V. gerard butler in
Phantom of the Opera is one of the four major musicals in the world, the masterpiece of the musical master Weber. Since its birth 20 years ago, it has staged more than 70,000 performances around the world, with a box office of more than 3.2 billion, and won more than 50 important drama awards. Many people are confused about the difference between musical and Opera. Simply put, it is equivalent to the difference between pop music and symphony.
Four major musicals in the world
In 2004, this musical was put on the big screen, and the film was finally original. Not only did it reproduce classic tracks such as Angel of Music, The Phantom of the Opera and All I Ask of You, but even some transitions came from the musical version.
It’s really hard to connect Butler in Phantom of the Opera with him in 300 Warriors.
Of course, the most striking part of the film is the Phantom of the Opera played by gerard butler. The Phantom of the Opera has been wearing a mask for a long time because of his deformed appearance since childhood. For this reason, Butler spends four hours putting on makeup every day. He had never even seen a musical before he appeared in the film, but he had to undertake a lot of aria in the film. He only had 14 lines in the whole film, and all the others were sung. To this end, he found six vocal music teachers around the world to practice singing during the filming, and finally created an elegant and rough singing in the film, which overwhelmed many actors.
6. Daniel Wu in
Nowadays, Daniel Wu has simply become synonymous with handsome guy, and he is not the kind of "evil spirit" handsome guy that WeChat official account raved before. He has been trying to make the audience ignore his appearance. He tried to take the villain route, tried the action and kung fu route, and tried the sloppy and decadent image, but they failed to change people’s stereotype of him.
Last year, playing Gourdain in the Hollywood game adaptation blockbuster "Warcraft" finally satisfied Daniel Wu’s long-cherished wish. He finally did it. Although he knew that the role was played by him, he couldn’t relate him to Daniel Wu’s face when watching the film. Let the audience completely forget that the actors themselves project into the characters, which is also a realm of performance.
To this end, Daniel Wu also paid a lot. He attended a training class for more than a month and read a lot of information. And because Gourdain’s walking posture is different from others, when doing motion capture, he has been playing with others with a stance of "ma bu" or horse stance just look for four months in a row, and his legs are so thick that he can’t put on his original pants.
Back to the opening of Beauty and the Beast, this film expresses a truth that everyone knows — — You can’t judge a book by its cover. Inner beauty is the most important thing. The seven handsome actors mentioned above have practiced this point with their behaviors. They are not proud of their appearance, but rest on their laurels. Even when interpreting the roles that can’t be seen, they do their best without reservation. So they created characters that were deeply loved by the audience. Looking back at the chaos in the domestic film and television circle, it is simply embarrassing!
