Chapter 9 I’m damn handsome
Although the extras are several levels higher than the extras, they have no say in the crew, and the costumes are also rummaged out of "garbage bags."
As soon as a truck carrying a long carriage stopped somewhere, there were staff carrying sacks of clothes out.
When I opened the sack, the sour smell hit my face. I don’t know how many production crews these clothes had passed through. They were not garbage.
After spending half a month at Beijing Film Studio, Qin Chuan was no longer the first brother.
Choose clothes that are as clean as possible right away.
Because it was a supporting role, no one wanted to snatch it from him. He could choose from the pocket in his hand. Only if he didn't throw it away would other extras pick it up second-hand.
Ten minutes later, Qin Chuan finally found a pair of gray store waiter clothes that fit well. The shoes were a bit like old Peking cloth shoes. Fortunately, they were not boots. They were not breathable. Some extras were unlucky enough to be infected with athlete's foot after wearing them just once. .
After quickly changing clothes, Qin Chuan found the makeup artist in the open air.
There were hundreds of people on site, but there were only seven or eight makeup artists. The workload was very heavy and people had to queue up for makeup.
With a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, Qin Chuan didn't take action this time because the other party was a woman.
He bent down and followed the makeup artist to watch people put on makeup, and exclaimed: "Tsk, tsk, this makeup technique is really amazing. Any kind of person who falls into the hands of your makeup artist can turn decay into magic. It's amazing."
"Queue for makeup." The makeup artist worked seriously without turning her head.
Qin Chuan licked his old face and smiled: "Sister, please help me, I have a heavy role here, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it later."
"Who are you..." Makeup turned sideways, and her eyes lit up when she saw Qin Chuan: "New here? I've never seen you before."
"Yes, I just came today."
"What are you playing?"
"The second-hand guy, the waiter."
"You have a bright future, work hard, what's your name?"
"Qinchuan."
"How old?"
"nineteen."
"Age?"
"What if?"
Seeing that the two people were chatting, the extra actor who was wearing makeup quit and said, "Beauty, can you hurry up? I'll be busy with the show later?"
"Quick, I'm very fast." The makeup artist just brushed the brush on the other person's face casually a few times as if he was shaving off a big white face: "Okay."
"No, is this the end?"
"You think you are the protagonist."
"No, I'm an ancient person, don't I need a hood?"
"What kind of headgear are you using? Once you put on the hat, no one will know whether you have long or short hair."
On the filming scene, the makeup artist is more arrogant than the director. Even though they don't have much status, no one wants to offend the makeup artist.
If I put some ugly makeup on you, just go ahead and cry.
After sending the extras away, the makeup artist smiled and said to Qin Chuan, "Come on, I'll do it for you."
As soon as Qin Chuan squatted down, she continued: "It takes a long time to put on makeup, so sit down. Don't your feet go numb while squatting?"
"Thank you." Qin Chuan had no experience with makeup before and didn't understand this. He sat down on the ground and crossed his legs, keeping his waist straight.
"What's your sister's name?"
"Sister didn't scream?"
Qin Chuan: "..."
It was sloppy, I didn’t expect it to be an experienced driver.
The makeup artist smiled happily and then took out a hair net from his pocket on the ground to put it on Qin Chuan's head.
While putting it back and forth, use the thumbs and index fingers of both hands to straighten it down. The technique is quite skillful.
Seeing the uncontrollable smile on her lips, Qin Chuan's lips twitched.
"Sister, don't be like this, I'm scared." "What are you afraid of? I will eat you." After finishing the hair net, the makeup artist patted his head: "The hair is a bit long, let's go back and cut it."
Qin Chuan was convinced and did not leave the car without saying these three words: "Sister, what did you do before?"
"First of all, my name is Wang Tingting. Secondly, it is very impolite to inquire about a girl's privacy."
"I'm sorry, Sister Wang."
After finishing the hairnet, Wang Ting took out a shoulder-length wig from the bag and said while working: "What is your name, Sister Wang? Am I very old?"
"You're not old, you're very young. Then I'll call you Sister Ting."
"Whatever you want, close your eyes." Wang Tingting gently stroked his eyebrows and moved her face closer.
Qin Chuan, who noticed something, quickly opened his eyes: "Sister Ting, don't...ah!"
The strong pungent smell of glue made Qin Chuan's eyes turn red.
Wang Tingting smiled and stopped applying glue to him: "What are you doing?"
"It's okay." Qin Chuan closed his eyes obediently this time.
"Haha, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a loss. If you don't listen again, my sister will put a few drops into your mouth to let you taste the saltiness."
"Alas, the glue used by the crew is not good, and the alcohol is also strong. It exceeds the standard. It will seriously clog the pores and cause serious damage to the scalp. If you can don't use the headgear in the future, I'd better try not to use it."
Qin Chuan closed his eyes, not knowing what Wang Tingting was doing. One second he was driving, and the next second he was acting like a serious person.
"Sister Ting, will you still let me use it?"
"Because you need to let the audience see you." Wang Tingting was so close to Qin Chuan that her breath could hit his face when she spoke, and she could smell her faint fragrance.
"For you actors, costume dramas are a bonus. Using makeup and hair can cover up the actor's shortcomings, improve his overall recognition, and make him more handsome."
"Compared with the shortcomings of baldness and hair loss in the future, it is obviously more important for the audience to know you."
"Today's young audiences only care about your appearance. If you don't look more handsome, who will be your fans?"
"After filming the costume drama, remember to wash your face with facial cleanser at night when you go back. If possible, it is best to apply a facial mask and pluck your pores regularly. Otherwise, I can guarantee that you will definitely be Mediterranean before the age of thirty."
Qin Chuan nodded: "Sister Ting, I will pay attention, but we are talking about shooting ancient costumes, why are you shooting my face?"
"Try the feel and see if you need to add some powder."
"Then do I need it?"
"No, it's just a little dry and needs to be hydrated."
"Then why don't you make up for it?"
"I have no water now."
Qin Chuan wanted to give himself a big mouth.
After more than twenty minutes, Qin Chuan finished his makeup and hair. After taking a closer look at his work, Wang Tingting was very satisfied, and then she carried the box to put on makeup for the next person.
After looking for a mirror, Qin Chuan also saw what he looked like now.
I have to say that makeup artist is an amazing profession.
His facial features were still his own, but he was much more handsome than before.
During those days at the Beijing Film Studio, my skin tanned a lot. Now, Wang Tingting used makeup to turn her skin into a normal one, which is a little whiter.
The bridge of the nose, eyebrows, and jawline are quite three-dimensional.
Coupled with the blessing of ancient costumes, the appearance has been improved to a higher level, and the features are beautiful.
This is not a waiter in a hotel. He is clearly a work-study scholar from a poor family.
"I'm so damn handsome. The difficulty of my performance is about to increase again."
Originally, the character he planned to use was a waiter who grew up in a poor family. He was humble, smart, capable, and hardworking.
Now it seems that I have to change my psychological identity.
The tone of the lines and the action of serving dishes also had to be redesigned.
If someone could hear Qin Chuan's inner voice, they would definitely laugh out loud. How could a walk-on shop waiter with a few lines come from so many dramas? Who do you think you are, the protagonist?
