Two days after the fan meeting, the makeup trial notice for "Painting the Country" was sent.

In the profession of an actor, there has never been any holiday to speak of, even if it is close to the end of the year, there is still a bunch of work lying in the schedule.

Zhou Heting originally had no other relatives alone, and had no concept of family reunion for many years, when the mother was still alive, she would make a dumpling by herself during the Chinese Spring Festival, and the mother and son sat around the small stove while listening to the TV series on TV while silently eating a simple Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, or a few times when the mother was in a good mood and had some leftover coins on hand, she would take and listen to the crowded Chinatown to watch acrobatics and ceremonial flowers, and buy some snacks along the street.

He sometimes thought of his mother during the Spring Festival in the years after he became an adult. Frank didn't know much about Chinese culture, and he was usually on a crew at the time when he was ready to shoot overnight. So after the last play of the day, Zhou Yiting would get dressed up and walk directly from the theater to the brightly lit Chinatown alone. The festive glow of the lanterns and the huge fireworks that exploded in the night sky were always Zhou Youting's favorite part of the Spring Festival, and his favorite was his mother's dumplings, but then he could no longer eat them, so he no longer demanded them.

The past always gives people the illusion of being in a different world, Zhou Erting has been trying to be a person who is not in love with the old, and he is still trying.

Lu Pin had already helped him glue the hair and hairballs on his coat, picked it up and shook it and said happily: "Listen!" Let's go! Listen? ”

Zhou listened to the habit of extinguishing the cigarette in the ashtray that had always been as new as new, and smelled a trace of unfamiliar nicotine in the air, and he bluntly realized that he was smoking. And the box of cigarettes that was only half left was left by Pei Ji some time ago.

Pei Ji is not addicted to smoking, but he still has a box of cigarettes on his body, and occasionally when he is irritable when discussing those gossip and trivial information with himself, he will take it out and smoke a few puffs. This half pack of cigarettes may have been left here.

Zhou Erting's fingers were still exerting force on the half of the cigarette that had been extinguished, and he suddenly realized that there had been one big and small thing after another in these days, and he hadn't chatted face-to-face with Pei Ji for a long time.

Lu Pin downstairs was still greeting him, and Zhou didn't have time to think about it, turned around and walked out of the study.

Han Ruoxu has been making movies for so many years, and he also has his own long-term cooperation team, and he is willing to prepare a shooting venue for him when he enters Layue.

He arrived early, only the staff were walking around in the venue to arrange, and the chief makeup artist was preparing the makeup to be used for a while, and he smiled slightly when he saw that he arrived in advance, "Teacher Han, are you so serious?" Arrived earlier than the actors. ”

Han Ruoxu also curved the corners of his mouth when he heard this, "I want to come over first to see what you think." Have you talked to the costume team? ”

As she spoke, a young woman with neat short hair suddenly walked over and respectfully handed the chief makeup artist a picture album, "Teacher, do you think you should choose C or F in the end?" ”

Han Ruoxu looked at the girl and felt familiar, and only recognized it when she raised her head slightly to check the plan in the first half of the album, "Senna." ”

The girl raised her head and smiled heartily at Han Ruoxu, "Director Han, I'm going to cooperate with you again." ”

The chief makeup artist said while checking off his favorite plan on the album: "Senna can be regarded as an old man who has cooperated with Pei Ji many times, and she also put forward a lot of good ideas for Xiao Yiren's image setting this time." ”

Han Ruoxu nodded, "I'm not worried about Pei Ji's role, I also appreciate the villain roles he has played before." ”

The chief makeup artist understood, "The role of Xiao Yijin has basically been finalized, but there are some small differences in the choice of the main color of the character's costume at the end." As she spoke, she straightened the album and handed it to Han Ruoxu, pointing her finger, "It's mainly a trade-off between red and black." ”

Senna said: "Actually, I personally think that red with gold is more suitable for Zhou and listen. ”

The chief makeup artist frowned, "Most of the generals' images are mainly red, and I hope there will be a different breakthrough this time." ”

Han Ruoxu said: "Xiao Yijin is soft and strong, and he is a prince himself, not a general in the traditional sense, and his status is noble. But at the same time, he is also a vicious character, with an iron-blooded side. ”

"This is also what bothers me," the chief makeup artist smiled helplessly, "whether it is a red and gold combination, it seems that there is a little bit of the feeling of the character itself, but it is not a wise choice to add another color." ”

The three of them were discussing, and the door to the shooting site was finally pushed open again.

But as long as there is Lu Pin, Zhou and listen are definitely always the group of people who arrive early. The air outside was getting closer and closer to freezing, and the two of them gasped and shrunk their shoulders and pushed the door in, enveloping in a chill.

Senna beckoned, "Hey! ”

Zhou Heting reluctantly stretched out his hand from his pocket, gritted his teeth and waved his hand at her, but Lu Pin looked very surprised, "Hey? Senna, are you here too? ”

The chief makeup artist helped the eyes on the bridge of his nose and looked straight at Zhou Erting, and said in a low voice: "This person ......"

Senna hooked the corners of her mouth with a slight smugness, "How about the teacher, what I said before is not an exaggeration." ”

A few days ago, when they were designing several protagonists together, Senna said that Zhou listened to this person who looked cold, but in fact, it was precisely because of his coldness that he was full of charm, and although this person seemed to be thousands of miles away, he did not depart from the immortal spirit of mortal dust, but looked very down-to-earth. You must know that these are originally two diametrically opposed temperaments, and if they appear in one person together, it will basically become a general situation of split personality, so the chief makeup artist didn't pay attention to the description of his little apprentice at first.

However, when she actually saw Zhou and listened to it, rather than a simple photo, she realized that Senna was not wrong, and her description was very apt and accurate. Zhou and Ting is a complex of general existence, mixed with many different temperaments.

In their eyes, this kind of person is like a brand new white paper with a full range of colors, giving people unlimited imagination and creative impulse.

Han Ruoxu had already stepped forward to listen to Zhou He's interpretation of the script, and Senna originally planned to take away the atlas to continue to improve the bunch of characters, but the chief makeup artist who had been pondering suddenly said: "Red and black." ”

"What did you just say, teacher?" Senna asked, turning her head in confusion.

The chief makeup artist took a pen and quickly marked it on the album, "Red, black." This is Xiao Yijin's main color. She looked up at Senna, "The aura of this actor himself is enough to suppress these two colors, and we can abandon gold completely." ”

Senna held up the album and made up for Zhou Er, who was wearing such a color match, only to feel a tremor in front of him. In that case...... Definitely quite suitable.

Although Xiao Yijin is still martial, he is actually a gentleman who reads poetry and books, he has a very delicate element in his bones, and he also has a more outwardly strong military general's domineering spirit. Such a combination of rigidity and softness has created Xiao Yijin's deeper spiritual realm than ordinary generals, and he will do whatever it takes to get the throne, but in the end, he can give up his business and go to the front line with the belief that he will die, even though he had expected that the court would definitely fall into the hands of Xiao Yiren after he left, and at that time he would have no way out.

Xiao Yijin, who is wrapped in red and black, will surely exude an incomparably heroic and tragic atmosphere on the battlefield.

Senna thought about the effect of the shooting and couldn't help but look forward to it.

is also looking forward to Han Ruoxu, since the end of the specially arranged audition, he has developed a good impression of Zhou Erting, a young actor. There are really very few artists who can be as down-to-earth, talented and willing to act as him, such a person has not become popular until now, Han Ruoxu actually felt a sense of regret for a while.

And now when he discusses the role of the script with Zhou Heting, he can clearly feel that this young man's interpretation of the script and characters is thorough and accurate to the point of genius, and there are even many things that he does not obviously express in the script, Zhou Heting can intuitively capture it.

Pei Ji really recommended a treasure this time. Han Ruoxu sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that his news is really closed compared to many years ago, and he didn't know that there was such a talented actor in the mainland until now.

The time was already very close to nine o'clock in the morning as determined on the original notice, and Han Ruo estimated that the remaining actors were about to arrive. No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than the door to the set had already been pushed open.

"Yo, I'm pretty early." This time it was a young man who came in, with a pair of peach blossom eyes always smiling, and even his voice matched with a gentle tone.

Han Ruoxu's eyes lit up, and he greeted: "Menghua, it's very punctual." ”

Pei Menghua rolled down the layers of scarves and replied with a smile: "With Teacher Han in charge, how dare I be late, isn't it still as early as you...... Hey? He saw the man standing behind Han Ruoxu, and his expression was a little surprised. Isn't that the same person who came to his mother's house on New Year's Day and said a bunch of inexplicable things? He also wants to star in the drama "Painting the Country"?

Zhou Heting had already gotten the news from Pei Ji, so he didn't say anything, and nodded at him enthusiastically.

Han Ruoxu saw Cui Menghua's surprise and said with a smile: "It turns out that you two know each other?" ”

Cui Menghua obviously didn't look indifferent like Zhou Eryan, and nodded when he heard this: "Actually, I don't know each other, I've met elsewhere before." ”

Han Ruo made a false statement, "Yes, you two have both developed abroad before, and I guess I may have seen it." ”

Cui Menghuaqi said: "Has he also filmed abroad?" As he spoke, he looked at the silent Zhou and listened again.

"Huh? You don't know? So where did you two meet? ”

"On the road." Before Cui Menghua could speak, Zhou Listening unexpectedly answered first.

Han Ruoxu was a little confused, two big actors who showed up met by chance on the road?

Cui Menghua stared at Zhou Erting with an exploratory expression, but the latter still looked indifferent and couldn't see the reason for lying.

"So I'm late." Suddenly, a lazy man's voice sounded in the doorway, revealing a faint smile.

Pei Ji is here.
