In the end, the three of them only drank the wine in the glass and did not drink three more glasses.
After all, Chen Kaige had something to do in the afternoon, so he got drunk and delayed it.
Gong Li is also bluffing, she will not feel better after drinking so much wine.
Huang Hexiang had one drink less than the three of them, but he was the most obviously drunk. After dinner, Zhou Yan and the others went to the audition room, but he was dizzy, so Zhou Yan arranged for someone to take him to the lounge to rest.
The three of them arrived at the dressing room of the audition room, but did not see Hong Xin and the others.
Then Zhou Yan went to the makeup workshop to ask, only to find out that Hong Xin and Lin Juan took Zhang Ziyi to the clothing workshop, and they went to the clothing workshop again.
On the way there, Chen Kaige was still muttering, "Didn't I tell you not to change clothes?"
The key is that Zhou Yan also said before that they didn't have suitable clothes in the studio and couldn't change them even if they wanted to.
I don’t know what happened now, but I ran to change clothes after putting on makeup.
When he arrived at the clothing workshop, Zhou Yan saw Lin Juan sitting outside. He asked, "Xiaojuan, where are Guantou Hong and Zhang Ziyi?"
Lin Juan pointed to the fitting room, "Sister Xin took her inside to change clothes."
Chen Kaige asked: "What clothes should I change? Isn't it because I don't have suitable clothes?"
"Sister Xin said that she had put on makeup for several hours. It would be useless if she didn't change her clothes. Although we don't have the clothes from the Warring States Period here, we do have a lot of ancient costumes. Let her try it out." Lin Juan explained.
"Oh, okay." Chen Kaige nodded and didn't ask anything. He just looked at the fitting room again, looking forward to it.
Gong Li on the side looked at Lin Juan's face seriously, then smiled and said, "You are Juan'er, right."
Lin Juan smiled and nodded, "Well, it's me, Sister Li."
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time. I knew Hong Xin was here, but I didn't expect you to be here too."
"Many people from our Chang'an factory are here."
Lin Juan and Gong Li have collaborated in two dramas. The makeup artist has been in contact with the actor for a long time, so the two know each other.
Lin Juan didn't take the initiative to say hello just now because she was afraid that Gong Li wouldn't remember her. After all, celebrities like Gong Li have worked with many makeup artists.
When Gong Li saw Lin Juan, the first thing that came to her mind was actually Zhang Yimou, because the two movies she collaborated with Lin Juan were both with Zhang Yimou.
When she saw Lin Juan, she thought of the scenes during the filming of those two dramas.
After looking Lin Juan up and down, Gong Li said with emotion, "When "Raise the Red Lantern" was filmed, you were still just like a student. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and you are no longer the same. If my little brother hadn't called you "Xiaojuan, I don't even dare to admit it. How about it? Director Zhou doesn't usually show off to you, does he?"
Lin Juan glanced at Zhou Yan, smiled and shook her head, "No, Brother Zhou Yan is very good to us."
Among the group of old people who followed Zhou Yan, the others all called Zhou Yan "Director Zhou" in public, but Lin Juan was the only one who always called her brother Zhou Yan no matter what the occasion.
If it were someone else, everyone might think that this girl is not pure-minded, but no one thinks of Lin Juan that way, because everyone knows Lin Juan's character. Although everyone knows that she is interested in Zhou Yan, she has never approached Zhou Yan in private. Very Be measured.
Although Gong Li knew Lin Juan, she didn't know that Lin Juan was interested in Zhou Yan. When she heard Lin Juan call Zhou Yan brother, she didn't think much about it and thought it was a personal relationship. Didn't she also call Zhou Yan brother?
She also smiled and said, "If she bullies you, just tell her sister and I will help you teach her a lesson."
"If he bullies me, will you teach me a lesson?" Chen Kaige joked.
"Hey, Director Chen is joking. This kid is dumbfounded. It's a good thing if you don't bully him."
Chen Kaige twitched his lips and said, "It seems that you still don't know much about this little brother of yours. He doesn't look like a human being."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Master Kai, you have to speak with your conscience."
"Why can't I follow my conscience?"
……
A few people were talking and laughing. After a while, the door of the fitting room was pushed open, and Hong Xin walked out first.
Zhou Yan and the others looked behind Hong Xin.
Zhang Ziyi stood behind Hong Xin. At this time, she had her head lowered and was fiddling with her skirt. She was still muttering, "Sister Xin, this dress is so awkward. I can't even walk."
As she said that, she raised her head, and when she saw Zhou Yan and the others, there was a look of surprise in her eyes.
When they saw Zhang Ziyi, their eyes lit up.
Probably in order to conform to the characteristics of the times, Hong Xin did not give Zhang Ziyi any gorgeous hair accessories, only a few ropes to tie her hair, including gray and dark red.
Although there are no gorgeous hair accessories, Hong Xin gave Zhang Ziyi a very elegant bun.
This bun is neither high nor low, and it just makes Zhang Ziyi's originally slumped face look straighter.
The makeup on Zhang Ziyi's face doesn't look bright at first glance, but she is already a completely different person.
Obviously, the makeup on the eyebrows has been carefully arranged, especially the eyebrows, which are completely different from Zhang Ziyi's original eyebrows.
The person with the brightest eyes was Chen Kaige. He actually thought that Zhang Ziyi’s appearance had a touch of rusticity, which made him hesitate. However, at this time, Zhang Ziyi completely lost that rusticity, and her whole person changed from top to bottom. She has to stand taller and even has a little more cool temperament.
If someone you don’t know is walking on the street, you probably won’t recognize them.
This Hong Guantou...
Chen Kaige secretly lamented that he had always known that Hong Xin's skills were good, otherwise Zhou Yan would not have kept him with him, but he did not expect it to be so beneficial.
Not to mention turning decay into magic, it can also be called the finishing touch.
Zhou Yan's previous films didn't seem to have very high requirements for makeup. After all, they were all in modern costumes, so nothing special could be seen.
Oh, by the way, Hong Xin worked as a makeup artist for Zhang Yimou's crew several times before, and was responsible for Gong Li's makeup several times. She basically designed the hairstyles of the concubines in "Raise the Red Lantern" by herself. hand.
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense that Hong Xin's level is high.
Zhang Ziyi was a little embarrassed to be stared at by several people. She was also very satisfied with her makeup...I couldn't say she was satisfied, it could be said to be a surprise.
She never thought that she could look so good.
Although it took a long time and the process was a bit tiring, she felt that everything was worth it when the makeup was completed.
The moment she saw herself in the mirror just now, her confidence that she would become a star in the future reached an unprecedented level.
No wonder the characters in director Zhou's movies are so good-looking. It turns out that the makeup artists under him are so good. Chen Kaige looked at Zhang Ziyi's makeup and hair, and then looked at her clothes.
This is a black and red skirt with a simple color scheme, a bit like Hanfu, but it fits very well.
The reason why Chen Kaige thinks Zhang Ziyi is very tall and straight has something to do with this skirt.
Zhang Ziyi is relatively thin, and this skirt can show off the lines where she should be slimming, but it will not make her look skinny.
Although Chen Kaige didn't see the back of the clothes, he could imagine that the back must be very tight, forcing Zhang Ziyi to open her shoulders to prevent her from hunching over.
"This clothes?" Chen Kaige looked curious.
"Oh, this dress." Hong Xin explained, "I found it in the workshop. It seems to be one of the dresses that Mr. Dong and his studio made for the orchestra before. It is a model."
When Hong Xin said this, Zhou Yan remembered that this was indeed one of the dresses that Dong Wenmiao and others designed for the girls of the folk orchestra.
Although this outfit was elegant and beautiful, it was not convenient for the performance, so it was not adopted.
Just imagine, if all the girls in the folk band wore this outfit, it would take a lot of time to get on stage, and they might even trip.
Unexpectedly, the plan that was not adopted at that time was actually used today.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chen Kaige didn't know about the dress, but he didn't worry about it. His attention was now on Zhang Ziyi.
I have to say, changing clothes really works well.
He was even thinking that he could directly cast Zhang Ziyi as Zhao Ji without auditioning.
However, it took Zhang Ziyi several hours to get the makeup right. It would be a waste not to try it on for a while, and he just said that Zhou Yan and Gong Li would check it.
"Now that it's done, let's go to the audition room." Chen Kaige said impatiently.
Hong Xin smiled and said, "Director Chen, my task has been completed, and the rest will be left to you."
Chen Kaige said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Hong Guantou. You really gave me a big surprise. I will definitely give you a big red envelope later."
Before, Chen Kaige wanted to say that he could get them some New Year's goods, but now that he saw Hong Xin and the others' craftsmanship, he felt that it was impossible not to give them a big red envelope.
"Forget the red envelopes, this is all our responsibility..."
Before Hong Xin finished speaking, Zhou Yan said sternly, "Guan Hong, what are you talking about? Director Chen is so kind, how can you refuse? And you are an employee of my studio, and it is not part of your job to help him." Things, if he doesn’t give you a big red envelope, he will definitely not be able to sleep at night. For the sake of Director Chen’s sleep, he must ask for this red envelope.”
"Then...it's better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Chen Kaige laughed, "Old Zhou, you said that, it seems that my red envelope has to be bigger."
"As long as you mean it, the red envelopes from our studio generally cannot exceed 500 yuan."
Zhou Yan's implicit intention was to ask Chen Kaige to give Hong Xin and the others a red envelope worth 500 yuan.
Five hundred yuan in red envelopes is naturally not a small amount, and it was done by Hong Xin and Lin Juan. If Chen Kaige wanted to give out, he would give out two, which added up to one thousand.
One thousand yuan is not something most people can earn in a month. It only takes a few months for the makeup workers at Yanjing Factory to earn this much.
But for Chen Kaige, this is nothing. The key is that the money is worth it.
What Hong Xin and the others did for Zhang Ziyi was not just makeup this time, but also a makeup design with guiding opinions.
Later, when Zhang Ziyi was setting her makeup, she could completely follow Hong Xin's design.
Thinking about it this way, one thousand yuan is a great deal.
Chen Kaige said very cheerfully, "Since your studio has rules, I won't break them. I will give Hong Guantou and Xiao Lin a red envelope of 500 each."
"Thank you very much, Director Chen." Hong Xin said with a smile.
Their salary and benefits at Zhou Yan Studio are very good, but they are also very happy to receive hundreds of yuan in red envelopes.
After Hong Xin and Lin Juan left, Chen Kaige turned to look at Zhou Yan and said half-seriously, "Old Zhou, why don't you come back and lend me your team?"
Although Chen Kaige has been making movies for so many years, he actually does not have a fixed team. In most cases, he relies on the teams of Yanjing Film Studio and Chang'an Film Studio, which is actually similar to other directors.
For example, when he is currently filming "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", most of the team members are people from Yanjing Factory. If he wants to transfer people from other factories to use them, it will be very difficult.
Unlike Zhou Yan, he already has a relatively mature team.
Although he doesn't have enough people to make a movie, using these people as the skeleton and finding some people from the film studio can run it very smoothly, and it is also easy for Zhou Yan to control.
The stability of the team is really important to the director, and Chen Kaige certainly knows this.
This time he saw Hong Xin's ability and naturally wanted to recruit people.
The key is that if he wants to borrow people from Zhou Yan, it is still possible, because theoretically Hong Xin and the others are all from the Yanjing Factory, and their staff are still in the Yanjing Factory until now.
Zhou Yan did not agree to him directly, but just smiled and said, "I'll go back and see if they are alive in August. If not, I can really ask them to come to your crew to help."
This is not a polite comment, Zhou Yan really thinks so.
Although he can afford Hong Xin's wages and doesn't care whether they work or not, it's not bad to let them go out to work and make money and let others bear their wages. No one would dislike making more money.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Yan still wants them to participate in more group exercises, so that they can develop better.
Regardless of whether "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is a good movie or not, it is definitely a movie where you can learn something, because it requires a lot of investment, and the people involved are all big names, and they have to work hard in such a big crew. It's a good thing to practice.
Chen Kaige was also very happy to hear what Zhou Yan said, "Old Zhou, you are still reliable."
Zhou Yan had not agreed to give him a movie soundtrack before, and he had a little complaint. If Zhou Yan was really willing to lend him the team this time, then this little complaint would disappear immediately.
"It's okay for me to lend you money, but I've agreed that I won't charge a penny less."
Chen Kaige smiled and nodded, "Of course, I won't let you suffer. My brother has a big budget."
When he said this, Chen Kaige felt a bit like a nouveau riche.
But it’s no wonder that Chen Kaige did receive a lot of investment this time.
The budget of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is said to be more than 70 million yuan, which should be the most expensive movie in mainland China.
However, with such a high budget, it is not easy to make back the money. (End of chapter)
