Chapter 100: Self-Reflection

() Taking makeup photos is based on the description of the character in the script and the director's intention, the photographer will design the character in conjunction with the departments of art, makeup, costumes and lighting, and take a photo to see if the actor matches the character.

Cheng Peng's acting skills are enough, and his aura can hold up, and he looks heroic when he wears Qin Jun's armor; And Meng Yi in the script is still young, heroic, and his image is absolutely no problem.

At night, the makeup photos that were rushed out were pasted on the blackboard, and the members of the crew all nodded and said yes, the appearance was really good, and the only thing lacking was the iron-blooded sense of the soldiers.

This can be solved by military training!

In addition to Cheng Peng's own makeup trial, other actors who passed the audition also tried on makeup one after another. No one dares to take it lightly, because a role will have several actors pass the audition at the same time, and the crew will pass makeup auditions, interviews, makeup auditions, auditions, and gradually eliminate until the last actor is left, and only after the makeup photos are filmed can the role be really done.

Master Liu's makeup trial was at the end, and when everyone's makeup trial photos were taken, she waited for another ten days before it was her turn.

The main problem is clothing, Cheng Peng's clothing is either modern clothing or Qin Jun's armor, which is relatively easy to solve, while Yushu's clothing must be designed by a special clothing designer, and several sets must be designed, which is more time-consuming.

The costume designer the crew is looking for Emi Wada, the old lady won the Best Costume Design Award at the 58th Academy Awards for the movie "Chaos", and won the Best Costume Design Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards twice for the Chinese films "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and "Hero", and is Asia's leading costume designer.

Cheng Peng is very satisfied with her costumes in "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides", especially "Hero". Fluttering clothes. It is exactly the effect that Cheng Peng wants.

Of course. There is another reason why Cheng Peng chose Emi Wada, her concept of designing costumes is quite close to Cheng Peng's film concept, and the first thing she thinks about when designing costumes is how to reflect the character of the character in the design.

Master Liu is familiar with the crew, without the slightest twist, changed his costumes, stood in front of the camera, and took more than a dozen photos from different angles.

Everyone was very happy with her first look. Yushu, who first appeared, was innocent and clean, and Master Liu was like that.

Next, Master Liu changed into a white long dress, and when he appeared in front of everyone, almost everyone frowned, and even Cheng Peng shook his head slightly.

Yushu is clean and innocent, which is definitely true, and a woman who can wait for a thousand years should definitely feel this way. However, at this time, Yushu first married Qin Shi Huang. After waiting in the Heavenly Palace for another two thousand years, it should be relatively mature. And Master Liu looks too girly.

Cheng Peng said to makeup artist Zhou Zhou: "This makeup is not good, make her a little more mature!" ”

After some adjustments and modifications, Master Liu stood in front of everyone's eyes again, but he still couldn't be satisfied, so he had to start again. After that, it was a few more times and still not satisfying.

Cheng Peng frowned and said, "Master, come here, I'll tell you about the play, and then bring makeup to try the play!" ”

"Good!" Master Liu was a little nervous, nodded, and walked over.

……

In the evening, the photo of Master Liu trying on makeup was placed in front of the main creator of the crew, and the photo was decorated with lighting, which looked better than the real person.

Yushu's costume when he appeared was a design based on Dunhuang murals, which was particularly beautiful. Designer Emi Wada is very satisfied, and she also likes Master Liu: "Her face shape conforms to the traditional Chinese aesthetics, and the round face in the traditional aesthetic represents blessing, and Japan is deeply influenced by the traditional aesthetics of China, so Japanese actresses are basically round faces!" ”

Zhang Meng felt the same way, nodded and said, "That's true, Teacher Cang, Teacher Gao Shu, and Teacher Mingbu are all round-faced!" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Meng's body, revealing a look of contempt!

Zhang Meng realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, coughed, and quickly changed the topic: Yushu is from the Western Regions, so he should feel a little of a minority, but Shishi doesn't have this feeling! ”

Cheng Peng said with a smile: "Master Liu is an ethnic minority, a Hui ethnic group!" ”

After saying this, everyone remembered that Master Liu was a Hui person, but there was no difference in other things except for food, and everyone forgot about it.

Wang Qinian said: "There is no problem with Master Liu playing the Yushu in the front, but playing the latter part, it feels wrong, it is too young." Shaoping, let's take a look at the afternoon audition with makeup! ”

"Good!" Chen Shaoping turned off the light, pressed the mouse, and the screen of the projector appeared with Cheng Peng and Liu Shishi.

The two played a scene where Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu met in the Heavenly Palace, which was mainly played by Liu Shishi and Cheng Peng.

Liu Shishi's performance is not very good, and he hasn't really understood this role yet, but he is still a lot stronger than when he filmed "Dark Invasion". Of course, the audition with makeup is not only to see the acting skills, but also to see whether there is natural exposure, plasticity, and potential.

Wang Qinian shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about acting, the main thing is that it doesn't feel right, Yushu, who has been in the Heavenly Palace for 2,000 years, shouldn't be so young, it's not good!" ”

Zhang Meng also said: "The teacher has made great progress in the past six months, she has learned to use the skills of acting, and her expression has also improved, but her biggest problem has not been solved, she can't see feelings in her eyes, and she has experienced too few things." Let her play the innocent girl is the best candidate, Yushu, especially Yushu in the Heavenly Palace, is too complicated for her! ”

Cheng Peng also felt that it was not as expected, but he felt that this was not a problem, Ni Ni had no acting experience at all, but she was able to play Yumo in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" vividly, this can be practiced: "We have a few months of training for her in the world, and she should be able to practice!" ”

Zhao Linlin frowned and said, "What if you can't practice?" Yushu is the other half of the soul of the movie, and if Yushu's people choose a problem, the movie will definitely smash! ”

"How so? I think this girl has a lot of potential! ”

Zhao Linlin shook her head and said: "You are too optimistic, Huang Xiaoming's incident is an example, to be honest, I think because the success of "Dark Invasion" makes you too confident, you should calm down!" ”

Cheng Peng was stunned, it was indeed as Zhao Linlin said. Huang Xiaoming's matter, he was full of confidence at first. thinks that Huang Xiaoming will definitely choose "Myth". But it backfired.

Huang Xiaoming's matter may go wrong, and no one can guarantee that Master Liu's training will not go wrong? When Zhang Yimou chooses actors, he often has several actors, repeatedly auditions, repeated PK, knowing that in the end he will pick a suitable one, and it is indeed a bit risky to let Master Liu train alone.

Cheng Peng pondered, and Zhao Linlin was right. Because of the success of "The Two of Us" and "Invasion of Darkness", he is a little self-aggrandized, or it can be said that he has no one in his eyes and is stubborn.

In fact, his self-confidence is based on the memory of the future, and the memory of the future is a good thing, but sometimes it can blind people's eyes. He knew that "Mythology" was very good at the domestic box office and knew that the audience would like it, but Huang Xiaoming didn't know that from Huang Xiaoming's point of view, there was a lot of loss. The stakes are also significant, and rejection is fairly normal.

The same goes for Master Liu. Cheng Peng knew that Liu Shishi would become a big star in the future, and her acting skills could also be practiced, at least in the movie that Chen Shaoyu made before she died, she performed very well, but the current Liu Shishi is ten years different from the Liu Shishi in his memory.

The same is true for the project "Myth", in fact, his original idea was to prepare to shoot "My Robot Girlfriend", and he agreed to let Liu Shishi play the heroine, just because he felt that this role was particularly suitable for her, just because "Invasion of Darkness" was a big hit in Venice, and meeting Harvey Weinstein reminded him of the return of "Wu Ji", so he remade "Myth" as soon as his mind was hot.

Cheng Peng's personality is a bit impulsive, and sometimes he is hot-headed, but he also has a great advantage, he knows that he is wrong, and he will try to correct it. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Linlin and said with a smile: "Linlin, you are really a widow Wei Zheng, thank you!" ”

Zhao Linlin smiled, and the others also laughed.

Cheng Peng's gaze swept over everyone's faces and asked, "Everyone thinks Master Liu is not suitable?" ”

"Yes, it's a little too green!"

Zhang Mengdao: "I like Shishi a lot, I think she can play Gao Lan!" ”

The character of Gao Lan is somewhat similar to the original Indian girl, but she is a female student in the archaeology department, she is relatively simple, she is a kind girl, and she is the second female lead.

Cheng Peng thought about it and thought it was a good idea, nodded and said, "Then let her play Gao Lan, what if it's just Yushu?" ”

Zhao Linlin smiled: "Yaya, is there anyone more suitable than her?" ”

Now Cheng Peng is the male lead, if he can, of course he hopes that Tong Liyu will play, but he doesn't want to delay her studies: "No, she has to go to school!" ”

"It won't delay Yaya's studies, Yushu doesn't have many scenes, if you focus on filming, it won't take more than a month, and it won't delay too much time."

"She is now a freshman, and she doesn't let students go out to film in her freshman year of Chinese opera!"

"In fact, you can make an exception, as long as you give money."

"Really?" This Cheng Peng really doesn't know.

"Of course it's true, but it's very few, because not many crews are willing to pay the school for the newcomers, and with this money, you can find better actors. Do you know about Mei Ting's dropout? Many people take this as an example to say that the Chinese opera school rules are strict, but in fact, at the beginning, the school and the crew began to negotiate, and even said how much money to pay to the school! But when Meiting was about to leave the school to shoot, the leaders of the department thought that the money was too small and did not let her shoot. Therefore, Mei Ting chose to drop out of school in a fit of anger! ”

Cheng Peng knew about Mei Ting's withdrawal from school, but he didn't know that was the case, and he was a little speechless: "This is too shameless!" ”

……

The lights had gone out, the dormitory was pitch black, and the four girls had entered the bedtime conversation. The content of the conversation is inseparable from the handsome guys in the school, and of course, stars like Zhang Ziyi.

At this time, Tong Liyu's mobile phone lit up, Cheng Peng would call her early if he went home, and he would send a text message if he was late, and the text message was usually to ask, how was it at school today, whether the quilt was covered and so on.

Tong Liyu's long hair was scattered on the pillow, and when she saw the content of the text message, her eyes were full of smiles, and she climbed up from the bed with her mobile phone.

The three girls in the dormitory saw Tong Liyu getting out of bed with the phone, knowing that she was going to call her boyfriend, and they all pricked up their ears. Tong Liyu has been on the podium in Berlin and is the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress, and there has never been a freshman in Chinese drama who has so much shine in her. So they are very curious about her boyfriend, what kind of guy can trick Yaya?

They were also tortured, coerced and lured, but Tong Liyu was as determined as Sister Jiang, and she didn't say anything about being beaten to death.

Tong Liyu came to the balcony, dialed Cheng Peng's phone, and grinned: "What, miss me?" ”

"yes!"

"How much do you want?"

"How big your heart is, how much you think!"

Tong Liyu opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Hmph, I don't believe it!" ”

"Why is it that no one believes me when I tell the truth? Sad, girl, sing a song, in your national language! ”

"Why?"

"I'll tell you when you're done singing, it's important!"

"Alright then, sing our local folk song." Saying that, Tong Liyu began to sing.

The girl in the dormitory whispered: "Why did you sing it, but what are you singing?" ”

"It should be a national song, and her boyfriend should be from their side, otherwise he wouldn't sing this kind of song, right?"

"If that's the case, this man is going to be tragic."

"How come, Yaya likes him very much, you see how happy she is every time she receives a call!"

"What's the use of liking? Now that she is a freshman, she can't take on dramas, and it's definitely okay to stay in school all day, but when she is in her junior or senior year, she can go out to film, and she has more rich people in contact, and her eyes are spent, if her boyfriend doesn't have tens of millions and 100 million, can she keep her? ”

Cheng Peng couldn't understand what Tong Liyu was singing, but his voice was very sweet, he sang affectionately, he could feel the emotions inside, and when she finished singing, he asked: "What is this song singing?" ”

Tong Liyu raised the corners of her mouth, smiled, and said: "The lyrics are to give me a rose, I want to thank you sincerely, although you look like a fool, I still love you deeply." ”

Cheng Peng quit: "I look like a fool? I am the embodiment of justice and strength, beauty and wisdom coexist, and the universe is super invincible and handsome! ”

"Super invincible narcissist, can you tell me now, why did you let me sing?"

"I'm not going to make "Myth" into a movie, the actor can't find a suitable candidate, so he can only come by himself, and the heroine is ready for you to act, and then you have to sing together, what do you think?"

"Hee-hee!"

"What do you say, hee-hee, what do you mean?"

"Hee-hee means you're a fool!" (To be continued......)
