Chapter 7: The Strange Woman
…
The movie "Fa Qian Han" is under the banner of the sister chapter of "Half Gold and Eight Taels", which was the first box office at the box office last year.
However, the director and screenwriter have been changed from Xu Guanwen to Wu Yusen, and there is no Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie to play "Fa Qian Han" has nothing to do with "Half a Golden Eight Taels"! In Xu Cun's view, "Fa Qian Han" is a farce with no connotation through and through, and it is far from being comparable with the cleverly designed "Half Golden Eight Taels".
Fortunately, although the movie "Fa Qian Han" itself is average, several characters in the play still make Xu Cun full of expectations!
Among them, the most is the eternal goddess in Xu Cun's heart - Zhao Yazhi.
Zhao Yazhi is not only his goddess of Xu Cun, but also the idol of hundreds of millions of people, the White Lady is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Feng Chengcheng is all the rage, her acting skills, her beauty, her immortal legend, she has influenced the aesthetics of several generations with herself, she is known by the public as the most charming woman with Chinese beauty, her smile is fascinating, she is synonymous with nobility and elegance, she is a myth among Chinese female stars.
is to ask, as a reborn person, how could Xu Cun miss such a strange woman?
Therefore, when Zhao Ya entered the crew, Xu Cun came to Zhao Ya with the script and said, "Hello Sister Zhi, I am Xu Cun, the assistant choreographer Xu Cun, this is the scene you want to shoot today." You familiarize yourself with it first, and then I'll take you to put on makeup and walk around. After speaking, Xu Cun handed over the catalog that had been prepared long ago to Zhao Yazhi.
At this time, Zhao Yazhi is just a newcomer who has just debuted for more than two years and has played a few insignificant small roles, although she is called the heroine in last year's movie "Half a Golden Eight Taels", it is just a vase role without a few lines. In "Fa Qian Han", although she is also the heroine, this movie is mainly based on Xu Guanying and Wu Yaohan, and she still doesn't have many scenes.
In other words, in this movie, Zhao Yazhi is still a vase.
Zhao Yazhi is very self-aware - he knows that he is not a popular star yet. Therefore, when she heard Xu Cun call her 'Sister Zhi', and saw that Xu Cun seemed to be older than her (makeup), she immediately said, "Director Xu, hello." You can just call me Ah Zhi, and please take care of me in the future. ”
Xu Cun, who has been a human being for two lifetimes, is already in his fifties, so he naturally will not ask Zhao Yazhi to call Sister Zhi with a shy face. Therefore, seeing the sincerity of what Zhao Yazhi said, he followed Zhao Yazhi's title and said with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome." Ah Zhi, you can see if there are any problems with these scenes - if there are problems, I will give you some time to familiarize yourself. If that's okay, let's go put on makeup now and go through the show?"
Before coming to the crew, Zhao Yazhi had done his homework. So, after taking a look at the scene to be filmed today, she marked her script, then closed the script and said, "Director Xu, I don't have any problems here, let's go put on makeup now." ”
……
As soon as he arrived at the dressing room, Xu Cun ran into another trouble - the makeup artist couldn't come.
"Director Xu, Sister Fang can't come over today, her child is sick. The makeup artist's assistant Xiao Lanne said.
The assistant choreographer is called the director's assistant, but in fact it is the most thankless job of the entire crew - the assistant choreographer belongs to the most basic position in the department, with a low status and a large workload, and has to communicate with props, costumes and drama departments, as well as find locations and control the scene. All filming is the responsibility of the assistant choreographer, from coordinating time with the actors, to the use of a tissue, the assistant choreographer must arrange it in advance, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be the object of scolding.
Just like now, the makeup artist can't come, so Xu Cun, the assistant choreographer, has to find a way to deal with it. If it is not handled well, Xu Cun is likely to be fired by Wu Yusen today.
Habitually pressing his temples, Xu Cun asked Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, how long have you been learning makeup from Sister Fang?"
"Two ...... Two weeks. Xiaolan said in a voice not much bigger than a mosquito.
Hearing this, Xu Cun sighed, then turned his head to Zhao Yazhi and said, "Ah Zhi, sit down, I'll design a shape for you." Then, Xu Cun said to Xiaolan again: "Go and bring Sister Fang's makeup box." ”
Whether it was Zhao Yazhi or Xiaolan who heard Xu Cun's words, they all showed surprise - they all doubted whether Xu Cun would put on makeup?
Zhao Yazhi and Xiaolan's suspicions are superfluous - in the previous life, Xu Cun had a good relationship as a makeup artist. When there is no filming, Xu Cun often goes to help her. Over time, Xu Cun has developed a good makeup technique.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if she is an ugly monster, Xu Cun can turn her into a beauty through makeup, not to mention that she is naturally beautiful Zhao Yazhi?
More than half an hour later, Zhao Yazhi looked at himself in the mirror, showed disbelief, and muttered, "Am I really so beautiful?"
Xiaolan couldn't believe Zhao Yazhi's changes - she saw with her own eyes that Xu Cun simply cut Zhao Yazhi's hair, and used cosmetics to simply sketch a few paintings on Zhao Yazhi's face, and then Zhao Yazhi, who was full of youth, became a gentle and elegant beauty.
Xu Cun gently held Zhao Yazhi's face and looked left and right, and then said, "Time is a little tight, so let's do it first." Xiaolan, you go and bring Ah Zhi's clothes. By the way, don't forget to grab leggings, today there is a scene of Angkor stepping on Ah Zhi's skirt. ”
Xu Cun's unscrupulous words made Zhao Yazhi's face flush slightly, and he secretly scolded Xu Cun: "Hooligans!"
At this time, Xu Guanying and Wu Yaohan walked into the dressing room one after the other.
After seeing Zhao Yazhi, they were stunned at the same time, and Wu Yaohan said directly: "Ah Zhi, you are more beautiful than last year!"
In "Half a Golden Eight Taels", Xu Guanying and Wu Yaohan have both cooperated with Zhao Yazhi, so the three of them are quite familiar. In the eyes of Xu Guanying and Wu Yaohan, the beauty of Zhao Ya at that time was beautiful, but there was still a trace of youth. Seeing Zhao Yazhi again this time, they all found that Zhao Yazhi was more beautiful than before.
Being praised by acquaintances, Zhao Yazhi was a little embarrassed, she glanced at Xu Cun from the corner of her eye, and then explained: "It's all the credit of Director Xu's makeup, you let Director Xu paint makeup, and you can also become a pretty boy." ”
Xu Guanying and Wu Yaohan listened to the words and looked at Xu Cun at the same time.
Xu Cun gave them a modest smile.
……
Wu Yaohan and Xu Guanying's makeup is not troublesome, just put on the clothes that Sister Fang has prepared a long time ago and simply draw a few strokes.
The trouble is that Xu Guanying has a scene today where his face is blown black by smoking cigars, and Wu Yaohan has a scene where his head hits the door and knocks out a big bag, and the big bag becomes smaller, and both scenes have to be filmed by makeup artists.
Therefore, Xu Cun is destined to be a part-time makeup artist for a day today.
