"Don't tighten your head too tightly when you pull your head for a while. ”

Cheng Xiaolou stopped talking to Liu Fengying, looked at himself in the mirror and hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction, and said softly.

"Okay, Boss Cheng, don't worry, you won't be too uncomfortable. ”

The makeup artist looked at him in the mirror and smiled and nodded slightly, and then began to strangle his head.

Stranglers are a standard technical job.

The top Peking Opera makeup artists in the industry are all masters for decades, and most of their kung fu is on their heads here.

If the head is strangled, as soon as Jiao'er appears on stage, hey, full of energy, fans like it, and Jiao'er is also energetic.

If the head is not strangled well, the horn will be easy to "lose his armor" on the stage, and after a long time, he will even have a splitting headache, and his head will seem to explode.

The quality of the makeup artist's head cutting technique is not only related to the handsomeness and ugliness of the character, but also directly affects the performance effect and even success or failure.

There are generally three steps in the head, first put the net, then wrap the water yarn, and finally wear the helmet.

According to the needs of the role, you have to wear sideburns, silk stripes, etc.

The net of the head is like a black hat with long straps on both sides.

The position of the old student and the flower face is different. Compared with the old students, the net of the flower face should be placed a little higher so as to expose the outlined brain.

And the makeup artist put it a little lower for Cheng Xiaolou, and just put it down in the position where he was stuck in the red.

After putting the net away, the makeup artist picked up two more straps to jam Cheng Xiaolou's eyebrows, lifted them up hard, and then wrapped them around his head.

As soon as his head was wrapped, Cheng Xiaolou's sword eyebrows suddenly rose, and his eyes were bright.

The servants sing on stage, pay special attention to the kung fu of the eyebrows and eyes. The head is beautiful, and the horns are very bright when they are on stage.

The net was followed by a wrapping water yarn, which was a black gauze two palms wide.

When the makeup artist took out the brand-new water veil, Cheng Xiaolou clearly smelled a faint fragrance of black tea.

"Boss Cheng, the water yarn may be a little cold, please bear with me. ”

The makeup artist soaked the veil in clean water next to her, and then looked at the handsome face in the mirror and reminded softly.

"It doesn't matter, just let it go, Xiaolou is not so squeamish. ”

Cheng Xiaolou smiled nonchalantly, signaling the makeup master not to worry too much.

"Good. ”

The latter gave him an approving look, and kneaded the veil dry, and suddenly shivered straight.

Just by shaking the water veil with his hand, Cheng Xiaolou's eyes lit up, and the last trace of worry in his heart was completely dispelled.

Shaking the water yarn is a technical job, the water yarn is not soaked in water, it must not be straight, if it is too wet, the water droplets will drip down, and it will dye the black and white collar.

Sure enough, when winding the water yarn, the makeup artist once made a beautiful "moon bend" on Cheng Xiaolou's head, and then wrapped the water yarn around the back of his head to fix it.

The makeup artist is also very particular about Cheng Xiaolou's hand strength when he strangled his head.

Because the play "Wujia Po" belongs to literary dramas, there is no need to tighten too tightly.

If it is too tight, the horn who lacks skill is prone to numbness in his limbs, and even nausea and vomiting, even if Cheng Xiaolou has profound skills, he will definitely feel uncomfortable at that time, which will affect his performance on the stage to some extent.

If you sing martial arts, you must tighten your head, otherwise when it comes to fighting, hanging hair, and falling zombies, the helmet will fall off accidentally.

The helmet falls off on the stage, and the jargon is called "head-turning", which is a taboo on the stage.

After strangling your head, even if your appearance is basically completed, you only need to put on a helmet and hang a mustache to go on stage.

Under normal circumstances, the helmet and mustache are kept by a special helmet master, and when you need to use it, you must go to the helmet master in advance.

The helmet box is the jargon of the pear orchard world, and it is a type of work that specializes in managing the helmet box. During the performance, the helmet master is responsible for strangling the actor's head, putting on a helmet, mustache, feather, etc.

Most of the people who do this are actors from professional classes, because they are no longer suitable for singing, so they change careers to the backstage and make a living in this corner.

There are about 130 types of helmets, which are soft and hard.

Hard helmets have nine dragon crowns, phoenix crowns, king hats, hou hats, etc., and soft helmets have small scarves, photo scarves, emperor scarves, etc.

Of course, Cheng Xiaolou's helmet and mustache were sent by the helmet box master early.

Before applying makeup, the brand new helmet and mustache were already in front of the makeup mirror.

After the makeup artist put on the helmet for Cheng Xiaolou and hung the mustache, a heroic aura suddenly came to his face, and the makeup artist who saw it was very satisfied.

"Boss Cheng, take a look, how do you feel?"

After the careful makeup artist took care of a few more small details for him, he took two steps back with satisfaction and looked at Cheng Xiaolou in the mirror and asked.

The latter carefully looked at the eyebrows and eyes and the redness, and then made a bully movement with a mustache, and immediately praised with a satisfied smile: "Your craftsmanship is very good, I am very satisfied." ”

Liu Fengying, who was next to her, also turned her head and looked at him carefully, her beautiful eyes were also bright, obviously very satisfied with Cheng Xiaolou's appearance.

"Boss Cheng, you are too polite, it's not that my skills are good, but your foundation is good, I've been in this industry for almost 30 years, and I have not had a thousand or eight hundred horns, but it's the first time I've seen someone like you, Boss Cheng is really a grandfather to eat, and the other characters are at most what they look like, and what are you playing. ”

The makeup artist, who looks like he is in his early fifties, carefully looks at Cheng Xiaolou in the mirror without blinking, and the more he looks, the more surprised he becomes, and the more he looks, the more satisfied he becomes.

Before this, he also watched Cheng Xiaolou's "Sifan", "Night Run" and "Lock Five Dragons".

Cheng Xiaolou in those three plays looks completely different, but he never gives people a sense of abruptness.

In "Sifan", he is the little nun Sekong who moved the hearts of mortals, but in "Night Run", he has become Lin Chong, who was persecuted by Gao Yu and forced to go to Liangshan at night.

In the play "Lock Five Dragons", Cheng Xiaolou has become a bloody dog who died generously as a last resort and scolded the Tang Emperor.

Three completely different plays, three different images.

The span is so large, and no one said that it felt like a play.

It's really scary!

First, Cheng Xiaolou handled the role in the play extremely well, and secondly, Master Zu appreciated the food and gave him a boy and a girl but a very malleable face.

It's like some stars will be unconsciously labeled after acting in a certain play, no matter what they play in the future, people will always subconsciously think of the image he created before, and they will suddenly come out of the play.

The reason why this situation occurs is that the plasticity of the Lingren is not strong enough, and many of them do what they look like.

And Cheng Xiaolou has even surpassed what he looks like, and has reached the realm of playing whoever he is, thinking about it, how not to be shocked.
