Thin, too thin.

Huang Baiyou could clearly see his ribs when he sat still, which made the stylist who applied the makeup a little cautious. The last time he saw this figure was in the intensive care unit of the hospital.

The reason why he had to take off his clothes and sit down was to create bruises on his body. At the beginning of the movie, Arthur was bullied by several villains and was beaten up severely. There were bruises all over his body.

In fact, throughout the entire movie, except for the darkening scene in the last half hour, Arthur Lee was beaten most of the time.

"In order to fit the character better, I lost a little weight. Don't worry, I don't have a terminal disease or anything." Huang Baiyou explained.

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene felt relieved.

The character has already begun to be shaped before the performance has started. Director Jeanne said that she will wait and see. She has never asked actors to lose weight. At the same time, she has confidence in the actors she chooses, and there must be a deeper meaning.

"The people at the bottom of Hollywood are not thin..." Saji Chen whispered in her heart. If thinness is used to express poverty-the two states that Hollywood equates with thinness are serious illness and drug addiction.

“That’s the kind of actor he is,” Close said of Beale.

"I starred with him in "M. Butterfly". At that time, he practiced yoga hard to make his body more flexible." Close said.

"I'm looking forward to the first performance," Bill said.

Cross was already sixty-three, and Bill was almost sixty, so it was easier for people of the same age to talk to each other.

Of course, Saki Chen is also in her fifties, but she was automatically ignored by Cross and Bill, and she felt that she had nothing in common with Asians.

No matter what other people think, the stylist also began to concentrate on applying makeup.

There are many injuries in movies and TV dramas, and bruises are among the simplest. The method used by this stylist is——

First, sprinkle purple and yellow paint on a large area to create the redness of broken capillaries on the skin. Then apply deep purple, and use a large brush to paint in dots to create a bruise-like appearance.

Then use a fine brush to highlight the hit points, and finally set the makeup with transparent loose powder.

It's not difficult, but it's time-consuming and requires careful attention. If you're not careful, the bruises will be false.

The difference between punching and kicking also needs to be demonstrated. It took more than half an hour to complete the whole set, and the crew was not idle. The filming track, lighting and props were all arranged.

One thing to say, Huang Baiyou has worked with so many directors, but he still thinks Ju Xilei, the director of "Detective", is the fastest shooter!

The first filming of "Joker" was an indoor scene, a duel between Huang Baiyou and Saji Chen. Such an opening must be the director's arrangement, and Jeanne wanted Huang to show off.

The plot is also relatively simple. At this moment, Arthur Lee is fired from the circus where he has worked for a long time.

It is said to be a circus, but in fact there is no big circus stage and no tours, so Arthur's actual job is to dress up as a clown and sell on the street, or perform at welfare institutions.

At this moment, he has shot three employees working at Wayne Company in the subway, and the news program "Good Morning, Gotham" is playing on the TV to discuss related matters.

Of course, when filming, there was nothing on the TV, so Sha Ji Chen and Huang Baiyou needed to perform without physical objects.

"Are the on-site voice prompts arranged?" Jeanne asked, and when the on-site executive director replied that everything was ready, let's start the first show.

"Come on honey, Thomas Wayne is on TV."

Penny, Arthur's mother, played by Zazie Chen, is glued to the TV.

"Okay mom." Arthur, played by Huang Baiyou, brought breakfast to his mother. He would make breakfast for his mother every morning after giving birth.

Huang Baiyou lit a cigarette and sat casually on the sofa, staring ahead, with his upper body exposed.

The crew’s live sound system played lines from Thomas Wayne’s interview in the script, “As you know, Jerry, all three of them work at Wayne Investments and are good-natured, well-dressed, and well-educated. Even though I don’t know them.”

This prompt sound is cold and will not be recorded by the live radio. I will wait until Bill Kane has filmed this section and then edit it and splice it together. This is a normal practice among the crew, and it is not deliberately difficult for the actors.

Arthur, played by Huang Baiyou, stared ahead, as if he really saw photos of three deceased people playing on the TV, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

Good character? Refers to being drunk and flirting with female subway passengers casually? Huang Baiyou's smile was mocking the three of them, and also mocking Thomas, who knew nothing.

The live prompt sounded, "But like all Wayne Company employees, past and present, we are family."

"You heard me! I told you. We are a family," said Shaji Chen excitedly.

There is a Rashomon plot in the script. Penny's mother said that Thomas Wayne was Arthur's biological father, and Wayne said that Penny had delusions and was sent to a mental hospital. Arthur was only adopted by Penny...

"According to witness reports, the suspect is a person wearing clown makeup or a clown mask. What do you think?"

Huang Baiyou held a cigarette between his fingers and leaned forward. His whole expression was "curious." What does the richest man in Gotham, a candidate for the consulship, think of me?

"What kind of cowards would do something so cold-blooded? The ones who hide behind masks. The ones who are jealous of those who are luckier than themselves but are afraid to show their faces."

Such comments made Arthur, played by Huang Baiyou, very angry. His lips closed into a line and his legs shook impatiently.

"Just a useless clown." This sentence made Huang Baiyou laugh angrily.

When Saki Chen heard the signal to take the role, she turned around and said, "This is not interesting."

After all, Penny didn't know that her son was the murderer, so she didn't think the death of three people was funny.

but--

When Saki Chen turned her eyes away, it was difficult to move away, and there was still fear in her eyes.

Look at Huang Baiyou's current state, stretching his hands over his head, leaning back, staring straight at the ceiling.

He wasn't in a daze, Huang Baiyou's eyes were sharp.

Because he was too thin, the ribs on his exposed upper body were clearly outlined, and the ups and downs between breaths made Saki Chen intuitively feel that there was a monster breathing in his body, which was why she felt horrified.

"Stop! Very good, the first scene is perfect." Director Jeanne said.

Hearing this, Shaji Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If the scene was extended a little longer, she would feel like she would make a mistake.

When Sha Ji looked over again, Huang Baiyou, who had stood up from the sofa, could still see the outline of his ribs, but there was no sense of horror as before.

"Hallucination?" In order to play the role of Penny who has delusion, Shaji Chen has studied many books about delusion. Is it possible that she got too involved in the drama?

Shaji Chen looked at Huang Baiyou eating sweets and felt that it was her own problem, "Don't get too involved in the drama. If you get too involved in the drama, there will be serious consequences."

When she returned to the sidelines, Bill took the initiative to say hello and said, "The scene we just played was great."

"Thank you," said Shaji Chen, "good luck with the opening."

As mentioned before, Hollywood is also obsessed with sex. If it goes well, it means "good luck with the opening." If it doesn't go well, it means "bad luck with the opening."

"Standing just looked like a monster was breathing inside his body. It was so surprising." Bill continued, "I probably know why he made his body look like this."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Shaji Chen was surprised, "Have you felt it too?"
