怎么有两个我？

在《球爱大战》里饰演双胞胎的我在一起出现的时候不多。当初接到剧本时很期待，因为想知道是怎么拍的。现在尽量在这里和大家分享。用文字形容不容易，希望大家还是能从照片中得到一点了解。

I was full of anticipation knowing that I would be playing twins in “Beach Ball Babes”. I was curious how filming would take place, and how I would have to take on two different personalities at the same time. In this case, it is a little challenging because our personalities do not lie on opposing ends, like say, the good vs the evil twin. In other words, I had to find a subtle difference in their personalities so that they won’t come out looking the same.

In this scene, my “sister” and I are playing on the same court. The older sister (Liu Xuan) is a spiker, while the younger sister (Rainie) is a setter. Here’s my attempt at explaining how filming is done to show two of me in the same shot.

Michelle 是我打球的替身。

Michelle is my volleyball body double.

导演在和我们讲戏。这个镜头需要我和姐姐一起跳上来拦网。Michelle 在旁边让摄影师有个概念。真正拍的时候是我自己一个人在右边跳。然后再换了球衣和发型后，再从左边跳起。那剪接后就会变成两个我同时跃起了！

The director is trying to achieve a blocking shot by the twins. Michelle is on my right and she is there to give the cameraman an idea where the other me would be standing. During the actual take, I jumped alone, and then after changing my jersey and hairstyle, proceed to stand on the other side to repeat the same move.

机器的位置在拍这个镜头时不能移，灯光也得一致，才可以把两个画面拼在一起。我的手举起时，不能越过中间的隐形线。

The camera’s position is locked and all lighting conditions must remain constant in order for both shots to be able to merge seamlessly. There is an invisible line between us, which is indicated on the director’s monitor, and whatever stunt I do, my hands cannot cross the line.

彩排。。。

A jump rehearsal…

这么看Michelle的背影还蛮象我吧！ 哈哈！所以在拍wide shot 时，我们两个就可以一起打球，要拍close-up的时候，我就得换造型。

From the back, Michelle does look like me eh? That is how we are able to play together on the same court for wide shots.

这是化妆师Stella。她在为我换发型。

This is the make-up artiste Stella. She had to help me change my hairstyle whenever I need to do close-ups.

换到头发都乱了。。。

I changed so often, the pretty braids became a mess…

这是我文戏的替身 Julie。如果你们记得，这是艳芳穿了幸运内裤后，我们在赢了V-Rockets时的开心镜头。

Julie is my body double for dialogue scenes. This shot was done after Yanfang put on the “lucky underwear” and we won V-Rockets for the first time.

导演在示范我们三个人要如何搭肩。

The director demonstrates how we celebrate our victory by jumping together in circles.

拍完这场戏后，感觉好像真的是一个人把所有的位置打完。因为传球也是“我”，扣球也是“我”，好玩是好玩，不过还蛮耗精力的，所以是很好的运动！哈哈！

I guess this is what a one-man show feels like. It is fun to be the setter, and the spiker, but it is quite physically demanding, which makes good exercise! Other times, I feel like a schizophrenic, having to remember double lines and then switching from one personality to another. Not that it left me with a split personality after filming, I have to say it is a very valuable experience and I’m grateful I was given this opportunity!
