Chapter 1,118 The Problem of Makeup

In the end, the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River overturned the world, and the prosperity faded away, but it was just for one moment, and the mountains and rivers were silent forever...

If we were to use this piece of copy to describe the misty rain in Jiangnan, its domineering level would rank at least in the top three in the history of online writing.

At this moment, outside the Peace Hotel, a burst of misty rain from the south of the Yangtze River swept over the Bund. The sky and the earth were hazy, like a fairyland on earth. The tall buildings were hidden and looming, adding a bit of charming Jiangnan charm to this modern international metropolis.

I don’t know whether it is the autumn wind in the south of the Yangtze River that creates the sentimentality here, or the sentimentality in the south of the Yangtze River that creates the ten-mile nostalgia for the Bund. In short, in this slanting wind and drizzle, there is always an intoxicating feeling.

Of course, although the scene outside is said to make people feel intoxicated, no matter what it is, filming a variety show is not as beautiful as what you see on TV. If you want to get up, you have to get up at five o'clock. When it gets dark, I have to get up, put on makeup, and prepare for shooting.

The brilliance and beauty of celebrities in front of the camera are actually supported by a huge team behind the scenes. If it were not for the huge team behind the scenes, a star would easily be forgotten by fans.

Therefore, the support behind the scenes of a star can also be said to be a factor in measuring a star's achievements.

Huihuang Film and Television does a very good job in this regard. It is very supportive of its stars. It also hires the best makeup artists in Beijing to do makeup for its stars. This morning, the busiest thing is probably Huihuang. There are three makeup artists in film and television.

Although the number of people is not large, it is impossible to have one person per person, but there are three makeup artists from Mango Taiwan. Basically, whoever wakes up first comes to do makeup. If you get up late, you have to wait for others to do makeup behind you. Done?

As a martial arts practitioner, Wang Baoqiang always gets up very early every day, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer. This is the fundamental guarantee for a martial arts practitioner.

Therefore, in such a matter, Wang Baoqiang will always have a great advantage when applying makeup. Even if Wang Baoqiang is back from exercising, it’s not necessarily that everyone gets up and puts on makeup.

At this time, Wang Baoqiang was also the third one to come over and put on makeup. At this moment, Huang Bo and Ma Su had already started to put on makeup. These two were the first two to arrive in the dressing room.

Ma Su said without looking back: "Baoqiang, let me give you a suggestion. You said that every time you put on makeup, it is done in less than ten minutes. It actually saves the makeup artist a lot of time. You let the makeup artist do it." Master, can’t you show off your skills? Just sit there and let Xiao Huang do the makeup for you for half an hour. The effect won’t be bad.”

Wang Baoqiang is not only the one who wakes up the earliest, but also puts on makeup very quickly, because this guy basically just applies powder, arranges his hair, and at most checks to see if there is any change in the shape of his eyebrows, whether they are needed or not. Modify it or something. Basically they are all alive. This is indeed a very saving habit for makeup artists.

Xiao Huang is also a young girl with a background in professional makeup. She has already worked with seven or eight film crews before graduating. Later, she was recruited by Huihuang Film and Television. She is very good at wearing male makeup.

Therefore, in such a situation, Xiao Huang also complained a little: "Yes, Baoqiang, you also asked me to put on makeup carefully, and then left in three to five minutes, leaving us makeup artists with no sense of accomplishment at all." .”

After sitting down, Wang Baoqiang said: "This is not fast. Three to five minutes is already very slow. When I was doing group performances, at most the makeup artist from the crew would come over to touch up the powder or something because of the lighting problem. This is already considered taking care of the extras. It only takes a few seconds, and now I have paid great attention to my image."

Huang Bo took over from the side and said: "Baoqiang, you can't say that. You used to be an extra, it was nothing, but now you are not an extra, you are a star, you are a Big stars, in this case, you need to bear the responsibilities that a big star should have. At this time, your makeup is very important. A star may not know how to wear makeup, but he must learn to enjoy makeup. I am also very curious. , what kind of state would you be in if you were turned into a little yellow for half an hour."

If Wang Baoqiang was really tortured by a makeup artist for half an hour, what kind of state would he be in? Huang Bo felt very ridiculous when he thought about it. This matter must be very interesting. .

Xu Qing has his own makeup artist. The personal makeup artist is a friend of Xu Qing. The two have known each other for many years and know each other very well. In fact, it is like saying no to someone like Xu Qing who is not short of money. They would care to hire an extra personal makeup artist, and most film crews would directly ask the film crew to pay for a top-notch star to have a personal makeup artist. This is also a way to win over the stars.

Therefore, Xu Qing said that there is no need to come here to put on makeup in person, and you can do it in your own room.

Each of the seven host guests is in a single room. This is a certain rule. As for the guests, because they are all members of Huihuang Film and Television, they are also in one room.

This is to say that the issue of remuneration is a matter of people from Huihuang Film and Television, and they cannot favor one over another. Moreover, Ma Su and others are almost as well-known in the entertainment industry as Wang Baoqiang and others.

Therefore, it is impossible to say that Wang Baoqiang and others lived in a single room, but Ma Su and others lived in a double room, which would be chilling. Therefore, the ten host guests all live in single rooms, and Ye Ming lives in the presidential suite. No one has any objection to this.

Because when Ye Ming is filming, he is treated like a presidential suite. He is the emperor and superstar of China. With such status, he must live in such a room. Otherwise, if word spreads, he will be looked down upon.

Even if there is no presidential suite, under such circumstances, there must be a special room like this for Ye Ming. This is also a rule in the entertainment industry. A superstar must be treated like a superstar.

After a while, Xu Zheng, Ma Su and others came over one after another, and the six makeup artists also started to get busy.

At this time, Ye Ming walked over slowly, looked at everyone and said, "What you are doing is a waste of time. There is no makeup artist, so you do your own makeup. As an actor, your makeup skills are not required to reach a professional level." , that is robbing the makeup artist’s job. As an actor, there is actually no need for this, but in such a situation, you always need to have some simple understanding of makeup.

For example, when it comes to things like this, you have taboos on your skin, what you are allergic to, and you also need to know some simple makeup techniques. In fact, if there is no makeup artist to do your makeup, then you can do it yourself. .

This will save a lot of time. If there was any time saved, it was because I didn't read the script and study the problems of your characters. In a matter like this, you have to learn to do some makeup to the best of your ability. "

Wang Baoqiang is still being put on by Xiao Huang to do his makeup. The guy glanced at the boss and said: "Boss, I heard someone said that as an actor, you must put on your makeup well. It's best to let a professional makeup artist do it. Like this Only then can I express myself perfectly in front of the camera.”

This is actually some revelations that Wang Baoqiang received when he was a grassroots actor. Such revelations cannot be wrong, but they cannot be right either.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Generally speaking, it is like this, but if some programs are live broadcasts, do all stars need to have a makeup artist to follow them? For example, during the Spring Festival Gala, only twenty or thirty A makeup artist is a lot.

In fact, most of the time, the Spring Festival Gala actors bring their own makeup artists, or the dancers perform as a group, they simply do their own makeup, or they do each other's makeup, and they wait for the live broadcast to start over there, and you are looking for one here. Don't you feel uncomfortable when a makeup artist touches up your makeup or something?

Therefore, you can learn some simple makeup skills by yourself. When the time comes, you can apply powder, trim your sideburns, etc. These are all necessary to know. Sometimes, you have to rely on yourself. "

Ye Ming said something about the Spring Festival Gala, so Wang Baoqiang wouldn't say anything. Ye Ming also took Wang Baoqiang and several others to the Spring Festival Gala. There were hundreds of Goodfellas actors and actresses in those places, and there were only a few makeup artists. It’s impossible to take care of them all.

Therefore, in such a situation, no matter how it is, in that situation, every second counts during the live broadcast, and it is indeed somewhat unrealistic for you to find a makeup artist to do makeup and touch-up for yourself. .

Of course, if you are a big shot in the Spring Festival Gala like Ye Ming, you can just bring a personal makeup artist with you, who will follow you at any time. But there are only a handful of people who are truly qualified to bring their own personal makeup artists to the Spring Festival Gala crew.

In fact, in most cases, ordinary actors in the Spring Festival Gala do their own makeup. Ye Ming is very capable of speaking on such an issue.

Sun Li was waiting for boredom on the side, and said directly: "I have learned makeup, and I am good at it. When I was a dancer, I actually did my own makeup, or I would give makeup to my friends. But now that I’m an actor, I rarely put on my own makeup because I’m afraid that it won’t meet the requirements.”

Most people think that makeup is just applying makeup and powder, but it is true. Applying makeup and powder is makeup, but real makeup is to try to hide the shortcomings on a star's face and let the star's most glorious side directly face everyone. This That is the responsibility of a makeup artist.

Makeup artists can form a specialized industry in the entertainment industry, which actually illustrates the importance of makeup. For the same person, in the hands of a skilled makeup artist, the difference between before and after makeup is almost unbelievable.

As actors, they naturally understand this very well. Therefore, it is actually very necessary to hire a professional makeup artist and do your own makeup. If you encounter some important occasions and the makeup is poor, it will be embarrassing in front of the camera.

This is something that celebrities don't want to see. As a celebrity, everyone hopes that in such a situation, they can show their true and glorious side as much as possible.

This is also what Sun Li wants to express.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "If it is a professional occasion, there will naturally be a dedicated makeup artist, but those makeup artists mostly take care of big stars, such as those who are famous like US dollars, and are not even half-red. If it's dark, in such a situation, it's actually very rare for a makeup artist to take special care of it. Therefore, it is indeed necessary to do your own makeup.

Some people waste the opportunity to play their own role because they wait for the makeup artist to do their makeup. Do you think this is unfair or not? "

This kind of thing is not what Ye Ming said to scare them, but Ye Ming's own personal experience.

There was a young actor who went to the crew for an audition. He went to the audition with Ye Ming, but there was only one makeup artist on the crew. This audition was more formal and required makeup. Therefore, the makeup artists had to come one by one. Ye Ming did not wait, and directly picked up the contents of the makeup box and packed it himself.

The actor who came with Ye Ming seemed to want a professional makeup artist to do his makeup, so that he could leave a good impression in front of the actor.

Therefore, at such a time, he just waited there and did not take action himself. As a result, when the director finally asked them to go over, this guy was so panicked that he didn't even have enough time to put on his own makeup.

As a result, you can only imagine what would happen. The person didn't finish the makeup at all. Naturally, he was directly taken down by the director.

Although Ye Ming didn't get the role he dreamed of, no matter what, because of his good performance, he was left by the director to be the eighth male lead. That means he has more lines than an extra, so he can't be any smaller. of supporting role. But this is an opportunity after all, right?

Therefore, Ye Ming believes that if you say that you know a little bit about makeup, there is nothing wrong with it, especially if you are talking about a male star.

Being able to do your own makeup is a small skill. You don’t need to be very professional when doing your own makeup. It’s enough to be able to cope with shooting and so on.

Generally speaking, male actors are not as pretentious about makeup as actresses. Anyway, just put on your own makeup. (To be continued)
