Chapter 180 Special Effects Makeup

"Is there any problem with Yuanhua's special makeup style?"

Wang Jing and Liang Yongtao were still thinking about Lin Jing’s question, but the art director Lin Shile took the lead in thinking about key issues.

Lin Shile's original name is saikanlam, and Lin Shile is just his Chinese name. In his original history, he was nominated for Best Art Director at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards for "Mr. Zombies".

It should be said that his level is still good. In the original "Mr. Zombie", he grasped the art style of the entire movie.

However, in terms of special effects makeup, he has committed the problem of most Hong Kong filmmakers and does not pay attention to special effects makeup.

In fact, this is also related to the director, their vision limitations and the limitations of the times, and it cannot put all the responsibility on them.

On this issue, even if you find the most famous art director and character stylist in Hong Kong, Zhang Shuping, it may be useless, after all, you have specialized in your profession.

"Well." Lin Jing nodded and said, "Although the tone of a movie must be unified, the elements are divided into many parts. Although the tone of our movie is comedy, don't forget that there are also horror elements. The so-called details determine success or failure. The horror elements are not in place. Even if other aspects are done well, it will be a loss of points."

Although Lin Jing said a little tactfully, Liang Yongtao didn't know where the problem occurred at this time, so he thought for a while and asked, "Would you like to change Yuanhua's makeup style?"

"So which style can bring lifelike virtual undead like zombies?"

"This?" Liang Yongtao was speechless.

Wang Jing and Lin Shile were also stunned there like him, because for a moment, they could not think of a special makeup technique that could present a virtual undead like Lin Jing said, as he could lively present a lifelike makeup technique like a zombie.

"Did you think it's okay to be simple and fake? After all, during the shooting process, the lighting and music must be added. With the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, the audience can easily ignore the problem of fake special effects makeup?" Lin Jing saw that they didn't say anything, and said a few more words.

Perhaps Lin Jing said these words to them, and Wang Jing grabbed his head with a whispering smile.

"Since there is a way to do better, don't just live by it." Lin Jing said seriously and seriously, "This is my pursuit of film production, real."

"Ms. Lin has come up with a way to make the special effects makeup real?" Liang Yongtao thought of something and asked.

"I have already thought of the solution. You can prepare the materials. Let's do a few experiments first to see how the results are before making a decision."

"What should I do if I shoot the movie?"

"Of course I'm going to stop first and solve the problem of special effects makeup."

Honey, food pigmentation, corn slurry, red wine, warm water, milky white glue, paper towels, hair dryers, foundation paste... Liang Yongtao was confused and excited when he saw some of the long daily necessities on the list listed by Lin Jing.

What I wonder is, are these things really useful? What I excites is that if they really work, then his special effects makeup technology will definitely be able to go to the next level.

Wang Jing, Lin Shile, and other props were a little confused.

In fact, Lin Jing’s so-called solution was to learn zombie special makeup techniques from "Zombie Makeup".

Imported zombies are naturally different from traditional Chinese zombies, but they all have one thing in common, they are all walking dead and "living" corpses.

Since they are all corpses, why not learn from the special makeup technology of zombies. As long as it can be converted into a special makeup technology of zombies, it is enough.

After Liang Yongtao and other props found all the materials needed by Lin Jing, Lin Jing started the special makeup experiment of zombies in public on the set.

"What is Miss Lin doing?"

"I heard that I am teaching Liang's makeup artist real special makeup techniques."

"How is this possible? Miss Lin can teach you this?"

"What's impossible? Isn't it going on in front of me? Seeing is true."

...

While the "audiences" were watching and discussing, Lin Jing was conducting her own experiment in an orderly manner.

First, use honey, food pigmentation, corn slurry, red wine, etc. to blend the sticky red and black "corpse blood". Then, an experiment volunteer was found, and in order to "steal" Liang Yongtao, he would sacrifice himself to fight.

With Liang Yongtao as a volunteer, Lin Jing began to put on makeup. Of course, at the beginning, he did not do it directly on his face, but used Liang Yongtao's arms.

First, apply a small piece of paper towel on Liang Yongtao's arm with latex, and then stick a layer of paper towel on the latex of his arm. The function of paper towel is to present a three-dimensional effect. Therefore, this layer of paper towel must be thin and tough, otherwise it will easily be broken in the next step.

After sticking the tissue, apply foundation paste and powder directly to the tissue to make it look the complexion of the arms.

After this step, the key is to color.

Coloring is to apply the "corpse blood" prepared before, whether deep or light, evenly onto the skin that has already shown a three-dimensional effect.

"Wow!"

When the color was finished, the "audiences" exclaimed directly.

"This special effect makeup looks like a ferocious wound that has been rotten for a long time."

“It’s really amazing.”

"Is it the only one who thinks this looks disgusting and terrifying?"

"If you really feel disgusting and terrifying, it means that the effect has been achieved."

...

"Today is an eye-opener." Wang Jing said enthusiastically.

Even Lin Zhengying, who has always been a bit serious and old-fashioned, praised him when he saw it: "Miss Lin, your special makeup technique is simply amazing."

"This is just the simplest zombie special effect makeup technique. For details, I will explain it in detail to you. As for the real use of the face, you also need to spend a lot of time learning to use it." Lin Jing said.

"Of course, since ancient times, the master has been leading the door and practicing it alone." Liang Yongtao said without caring. "And even if it takes such a little time, it is undoubtedly worth it to make the movie better."
