How to understand the type, scene and method to understand the principle of changing face?

Traditional face changing attracts people's attention with its amazing and exquisite performance skills and modeling methods, but there are always different views on the interpretation of its principle. In fact, compared with the traditional art of changing face, it is not a stage magic in the modern sense, but has relatively exquisite settings and types, and is supported by different principles.

1. From the analysis of face changing types, the principle of whole face changing and local face changing is different.

The whole face change and the partial face change are the so-called big face change and small face change. After abandoning stage magic, it is a face-changing art that requires real kung fu. The art of changing face has different titles, such as three changing faces, five changing faces and nine changing faces. In fact, the actor realizes "blowing dust and changing face" through ventriloquism. In other words, there is a corresponding pigment in the actor's mouth, which falls on his face after being blown off, showing different effects.

Small face changes, that is, local changes, are part of it. Local changes are usually made by wiping eyes and changing face, that is, blackening Facebook's eyes and nose eyebrows to achieve the effect of changing face, which is relatively easy to achieve.

2. From the analysis of face changing method, the principle of face changing is easier to understand.

Face-changing masks are relatively simple and easy to operate, belonging to a kind of plastic makeup art, so face-changing in commercial performances at present mostly belongs to this category. In other words, the realization of changing face is carried out through the face shell. Basically, whether it is tearing or pulling a face, it is actually presented through a mask, but the corresponding organs are added to the mask.

Skill change is a kind of face-changing art with more connotation than mask. The traditional face-changing is realized through this art, that is, through the corresponding hand skills, qigong, leg skills and so on. In terms of ventriloquism, it is to prepare the corresponding pigments in advance, such as gold, black and silver. And through the actor's mouth skills such as closing his eyes and holding his breath, he changed his face.

From the scene, the principle of changing face on the spot is more complicated, but it is easier to catch up.

In the traditional face-changing art, face-changing is realized directly on the stage, some need to be changed once, and some need to be changed several times. Therefore, in general, three changes are the most, and everyone can achieve nine changes. These skills are relatively strong and need corresponding skills and abilities.

It is relatively simple to catch up with the scene changes. Although the stage effect is limited, when the drama scene changes, the actors' faces also change, which still has a very amazing effect.

To sum up, the principle of changing face is as follows:

First, from the type, it can be divided into full face change and local change. The overall change is achieved by blowing off the faces of the characters in the play, and the local change is partially blackened;

Secondly, from the method, it can be divided into changing masks and changing skills. The mask change is realized by tearing the face with the face shell, and the skill changes include hand skills, qigong and leg skills.

Thirdly, from the scene, it can be divided into on-the-spot modification and on-the-spot modification. When the scene is a one-time specific scene change, the on-the-spot change means that the actor changes in the background and then changes his face when he comes out.
