Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

It was December 20th.

In the actor's lounge, Zhang Fengyi sat in front of the mirror, and the Peking Opera makeup artist was putting makeup on him.

Unlike before, there was another person next to the makeup artist, Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao frowned, shook his head slightly, and said to the makeup artist:"No, you are still too restrained. Make it a little more distorted, bold and abstract, understand? Have you seen Munch's oil painting"The Scream"? It's that feeling."

As he said that, Chen Xiao made an expression of covering his face with his hands and screaming.

He really wanted to scream now.

Why is this Peking Opera makeup artist so conservative?

The scene to be shot today is the scene where Duan Xiaolou exposes Cheng Dieyi, and his face must be painted distorted and crazy.

But now, the face makeup on Zhang Fengyi's face is still too conservative.

Chen Xiao raised his hand and gestured,"Just be bolder, shake it up, and be brave."

The makeup artist nodded aggrievedly.

Sighing silently in her heart.

She has been painting Peking Opera masks for seven or eight years.

In Peking Opera, even the clown's face makeup is roughly symmetrical.

She tried really hard to distort it, but she couldn't really draw in that style.

But Director Chen said so, so she had to paint hard.

She took a deep breath and dipped her brush in white oil paint. She silently said to herself, bold, bold, bold!

She swung the brush at Zhang Fengyi's face.

A flowing and graceful white ribbon appeared on his face.

Chen Xiao raised his hand to support his forehead, feeling helpless.

Forget it, it's really difficult to let the Peking Opera makeup artist do distorted and crazy makeup.

He looked at Zhang Fengyi and stretched out his right hand to the makeup artist,"Give me the brush, I'll do it!"

Zhang Fengyi opened his eyes instantly and shrank back

"Wait, wait, Director Chen, have you ever painted with oils?"

"No, but I can draw, don't worry."After saying that, Chen Xiao sat on the makeup artist's chair.

Zhang Fengyi felt like he was going to break apart.

Don't worry?

What kind of worry?

He just told the makeup artist to be bold and throw the brush up.

Damn! What if I'm not sure about the brush and it pokes my eyes?

Zhang Fengyi immediately raised his hand and moved the chair back with his feet,"Brother, brother, I think the makeup artist is suitable. We have to give her a chance. You can't undermine people's confidence, right?"

Chen Xiao smiled helplessly,"Just kidding, I've drawn it, okay? Don't worry."

The great achievements of opera certainly include painting facial makeup, otherwise what kind of great achievements are there?

I haven't drawn it, but I can draw it.

Chen Xiao pretended to be serious,"Teacher Zhang, let's hurry up, okay?"

Seeing that he was serious, Zhang Fengyi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes,"Okay, you draw it."

I guess Chen Xiao knew what was going on.

Right?

The next moment, he felt the brush twisting rapidly on his face.

After two minutes

"Okay, that's it."

Zhang Fengyi opened his eyes and looked in the mirror, and suddenly shuddered.

In the mirror, his face was so distorted that he looked like a deformed monster.

It really fits the image of a madman under the heavy pressure of the environment.

It's really scary to watch.

Zhang Fengyi's mouth trembled,"Director Chen, you are so cruel"

"This is in line with the image."Chen Xiao put down his pen and wiped his hands with a wet towel,"Okay, I'll go find someone else to practice the lines. Shooting will start in an hour, come on time."

He threw the gray-black wet towel into the trash can, got up and left the dressing room.

At the same time, Leo was walking through the old street under the guidance of the staff.

He didn't have an ID, but many people knew that he had a good relationship with Chen Xiao and was an actor, so they let him in directly.

He had always wanted to visit his"master", but he was filming in another place some time ago and just returned to the capital today, so he had time to come over.

When he walked to the door of the director's lounge, he happened to meet the director's assistant.

Leo asked,"Is Brother Chen here?"

The assistant shook his head,"No, I heard he's putting makeup on the actors."

Leo's brows tightened.

Putting makeup on the actors? Is this what a director should do? He had heard that this was a promotional video for opera.

He had been wondering how Brother Chen could be the chief director if he didn't understand opera.

After thinking for a long time, he came to a conclusion: let him be the chief director and use his name to attract traffic.

Now it seems that this is really the case.

The assistant director and executive director are taking advantage of their seniority and letting him do miscellaneous work?

Damn!

Thinking of this, he suddenly became furious.

But this crew is backed by the Ministry of Culture after all, so he didn't dare to get angry directly.

Leo snorted coldly and picked up the phone,"Are you so short of staff? I'll call a makeup artist." The assistant shook his head hurriedly,"No, no, we have a makeup artist. Director Chen thought her approach was too rigid, so he did it himself." Leo narrowed his eyes. You should have said it earlier. His blood pressure just went up. He was angry for nothing

""Excuse me, where is he now?"

The assistant scratched his head,"Please wait a moment, I'll make a phone call to ask."

After a while, the assistant smiled and pointed to the south and said,"Director Chen is rehearsing with the actors at the intersection and checking the scenery. You will arrive in five or six minutes in this direction."

Leo thanked him and walked towards the intersection.

Five minutes later, he arrived at the intersection.

He saw the crew members walking around in a hurry, and it seemed that they were about to start filming. He continued walking forward and soon saw Zhang Guorong and Director Chen dressed as Yu Ji.

Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly heard a shrill cry.

"Retribution!"

Leo was startled by the sudden wailing.

He stopped immediately.

That voice should be Brother Chen's, right?

Immediately, another shrill cry came.

"Retribution! Retribution~~~"

The trembling ending made him shudder and he hugged his arms.

This time it seemed to be Brother Guo Rong's voice. He was full of emotions!

Forget it, he should not go over to disturb the scene and wait on the side.

In the middle of the intersection, Chen Xiao pointed to the ground and gestured left and right.

"Guo Rong, your expression and emotional state are very good. Let me remind you of the movement. The cameraman will follow you with a handheld camera. You need to keep pace. When you mention Juxian, move forward. When you mention the world, move back. When we mention how we have come to this point, move to Juxian, and when you mention retribution, move back. Two rounds in total."

"Yeah, no problem, don't worry."

"Okay, then you practice first, I'll go check out the scenery."

"Okay, thank you Director Chen."

Chen Xiao stood up and walked to the side of the road.

Behind him, the voice of practicing lines was heard again,"I will expose it too! Expose the colorful flowers and expose the dilapidated walls!"

Leo greeted Chen Xiao and sighed,"Brother Chen, this line is so good, right? Why didn't you write something like this for me at that time, with rich cultural heritage?"

Chen Xiao smiled helplessly,"That was not written by me, it was a play in"Peony Pavilion" - it turns out that the colorful flowers are all in full bloom, but like this, they are all left to the dilapidated walls. Cheng Dieyi is a famous actor, and he can say this. Jack's words……"

Chen Xiao did not continue, but Leo could also feel that Jack was indeed inappropriate.

Chen Xiao looked back at the center of the road.

The passage in The Peony Pavilion says that the noble lady Du Liniang found that the colorful flowers were accompanied by broken wells and broken walls, and no one appreciated them, and sighed that her beautiful youth was imprisoned and strangled. It was exactly the same as the situation of Peking Opera and even literature and art during the Wen Ge period.

So Cheng Dieyi made this accusation.

Fortunately, the world has focused on the development of science and technology in the past two or three decades, and has not been strict in thinking.

Except for some action teaching videos, other films are less controlled.

There is no problem with this scale being shown on CCTV.

Just thinking of this, the busy voices of the crew brought him back to reality.

Fang Rong, wrapped in a down jacket, walked to the center and shouted:"Props team, put the fuel for the fire!"

The assistant director was at another intersection, holding a loudspeaker and said:"The extras are ready to go on stage."

The director of photography stood in front of the fixed camera position, pointed to the center of the road, and instructed the photographer:"You will carry the camera in a while, walk like this"
