What does body double mean?

Body double is a term of film art, also called "stuntman". It can be roughly divided into five categories: Wen Dynasty, Wu Dynasty, Guang Dynasty, Naked Generation and Handmade Generation. The specific explanations of "naked substitution", "light substitution" and "literary substitution" are as follows:

1, naked replacement

Naked replacement is to make a naked body double for famous actors, and to find body double to be a naked body double when big-name stars don't want to appear naked. This will not embarrass yourself, nor will it delay the effect of the film. Strictly speaking, nudity is also an actor, just body double behind the star.

Shao Xiaoshan, the former host of Phoenix TV, caused a shock in China because she publicly revealed on the Internet that she was Zhang Ziyi's naked body double at the banquet. At this point, the little-known "naked replacement" group has surfaced, causing widespread concern.

2. Light substitution

Light substitution is lamp body double, which is the full name of lamp body double. In the process of shooting, the hero and heroine will be moved, so that the staff can better determine who used up at the scene. Some shots need the camera on the elevator frame to shoot at high altitude, and it takes a lot of time to adjust the position, but the hero has no time to wait for the lights, so he uses body double instead of the high-speed lights in the hero's position.

3. Style

Wen body double is the body double of literature and drama. In order to speed up the shooting progress, Group A and Group B often shoot at the same time, with Wen body double as the leading role, shooting panoramic scenes or scenes with backgrounds. Because the time of big-name stars is tight, considering the shooting cost, we usually only shoot the scenes where the stars appear, and try to make body double the scene where the big-name stars appear.

Extended data:

Introduce two other classifications of body doubles: "Wu substitution" and "hand substitution".

1, martial arts

Martial arts, mainly shooting some martial arts scenes that ordinary actors can't complete, are all difficult moves. Martial arts often "risk their lives", with the highest risk factor. The sources of Wushu are mostly Wushu, wrestling, gymnasts or opera actors, mostly from various martial arts schools in China. Wei Wu's age ranges from his teens to his forties, and his cultural quality is uneven, and most of them are impulsive.

In the 1980s, the movie Dragon Stunt Team first told the domestic audience about Wu Ti's dangerous career, especially the tragic scene in which the leading actor jumped from the eighth floor and fell into severe disability at the end of the film. It is not uncommon for Wu Ti to be hit by a car, burned and injured when shooting action movies.

It is understood that in the United States, the World Stunt Association awards the "World Stunt Award" to the behind-the-scenes stuntmen every year, which not only encourages body double employees, but also raises subsidy funds for the stuntmen who are injured in filming, so that they can get timely medical treatment and reasonable aftercare even if they have an accident. But in China, this kind of security system is obviously blank.

2. Manual replacement

It is mainly aimed at special hand movements, mostly close-up hand movements when an actor writes soft pen calligraphy, or other highly skilled parts that an appropriate actor can't complete.
