Chapter 466: Makeup

It's hard to grasp this kind of thing, not to mention that Zhang Qiuxi is just a screenwriter who plays tickets, even if he is a professional who has been immersed for more than ten years, it is difficult to grasp, and there are many examples of well-known directors being asked to revise or even directly banned. Because there is no clear standard for the scale to follow, it is all those people who have the final say.

The only criterion is that they think that what they think is negative is negative, and it is useless to be identified as saying it. Zhang Qiuxi felt that it was not a big problem to write the script like this, and it was difficult to say how it would be, so it could only be adjusted by Ye Cheng at that time.

Ye Cheng was very confident after reading it, and said: "It is worthy of being the head of the eldest sister, a very wonderful story, if this is still sensitive, let's go to Hollywood in the future, and don't play with them." ”。

"Is it done, Zheng Yuan has already heard the news that he is going to take makeup photos today." Zhang Qiuxi was sending Ye Cheng away, and Shangguan Jin was already urging on the side.

Before I was on vacation and doing shows, my job has been put down for too long, Zheng Yuan is estimated to be a little impatient, and the preparation of the movie is much faster than Zhang Qiuxi expected. There is no clear explanation of where the story takes place in the movie, although Qingxi does not have a film school, but this is actually not important, so I still chose to shoot in Qingxi.

Because of Zhang Qiuxi, Qingxi's appearance rate on the big screen is getting higher and higher. Before this, there were almost few crews to shoot, let alone use it as a filming location. There are many reasons for this. One of the points is that compared with other cities, the film industry is not developed, and studios and the like cannot meet the shooting requirements of other films. Therefore, Shuguang Media had to go to other places to shoot.

The requirements of "If Love" are not so high, and the studio of Yunxiang Film and Television Company is enough to complete. When Zhang Qiu regretted that when they arrived, the crew had already built a Broadway-style scene according to the requirements, and as soon as they were ready, they could only start filming.

Broadway is actually a street in New York, USA, because there are many theaters on this street, it is the place where American plays and musicals are promoted, and as opera becomes famous all over the world, Broadway has become synonymous with opera. Red Beans: They wonder why they want to imitate this style. Zhang Qiuxi fooled the past with a salute.

"You're finally here, hurry up and put on makeup." Zheng Yuan has prepared the makeup artist, and the photographer is also on standby, regardless of whether the makeup photos are to be released to the public, they need to be taken.

After making so many movies, Zhang Qiuxi and her sisters are already very familiar with this process, whether it is a movie or a TV series, they need to set makeup before shooting. And sometimes it's not a one-time finish, and every scene may have to be repeated once.

The purpose of a make-up photo is to make the actor look like the character in the play, which requires the director, photographer, artist, costume, makeup artist and even lighting engineer to work together. According to the description in the play and the director's intention, the image is created. In the future, the makeup artist will apply makeup to the actors according to the makeup photos, which is also the preliminary work of shooting.

The set is Broadway-style, and the characters are the same, which looks nostalgic. Although the filming location is in Qingxi, it is estimated that there is no familiar feeling at all when the movie is presented, which is why it does not matter where you choose to shoot.

Applying makeup is a lengthy and tedious process. Sometimes I can't talk when I sit for a long time, and it's not enough to draw well. Where it doesn't fit, you may have to tear it down and start all over again. Zhang Qiuxi's style tossed the red beans for almost twice as long, and in the end, they were not particularly satisfied.

"You don't look like a man no matter how much you put on makeup. I think it's still like this. Shangguan Jin has already finished taking pictures, and Zhang Qiuxi and Zheng Yuan are still discussing with the makeup artist.

"Are you scolding me?". Zhang Qiuxi rolled her eyes, "this look" doesn't sound like a good word.

"I'm praising your woman's style, I can't hide it, no matter what, other people's feelings are a little fresh beauty." Shangguan Jin said: "Even in martial arts dramas, only people in the play can only recognize the heroine who is dressed as a man when her hair is scattered, and the audience knows at a glance that it means that." ”

"Actually, why do you have to do it?" Ye Qingqing, who came to join in the fun, expressed puzzlement.

is a man himself, but now he can't even hide his femininity, and Zhang Qiuxi doesn't know whether to cry or laugh. When writing the script, this setting is actually a hint of transformation, although this hint is only clear to herself, but she feels that it is necessary.

And this has a different experience in Shangguan Jin's eyes, she was thinking about how to fool, Zheng Yuan had already explained for her: "Ah Qiu's arrangement is still very reasonable, mainly to let the relationship between the two protagonists in the play have a buffer, according to the whole story, it can also be implied that this relationship was a mistake from the beginning." ”

"I seem to understand a little, but I still think it's complicated." Ye Qingqing yawned, it wasn't that she couldn't figure it out, but she had always been too lazy to think about it, and she preferred to solve problems in a simple and rude way.

"This will not only make the story fuller, but also easier for the audience to accept." Li Yue followed and said: "I think Shangguan is right, no matter how much makeup Ah Qiu makes, it is impossible for Ah Qiu to look like a man in appearance, so it's okay, the important thing is to look at the appearance at the time of shooting." ”

When Zhang Qiuxi wrote the decision for the first time, Li Yue was not a magazine, but a TV station recording a program. Red Beans and the others agreed that she was the most suitable for this role, and when she told her, she also agreed in one bite, which was a little unexpected, but it was not abrupt, but it still didn't feel quite in line with her character.

"That's fine, it's the same anyway." Zhang Qiuxi also thinks it makes sense, the main thing is to convey this meaning, the audience can understand it, and it shouldn't be a problem if you say it personally, this can also be regarded as acting in your true colors.

Although in terms of appearance, there is no trace of a man on the whole body, and every detail is an excellent woman. But in any case, I have been a man for more than 20 years in my previous life, and my habits, behavior, and style have been ingrained, and this cannot be changed.

Li Yue and the others have always been aware of this, and perhaps this is the same as what is written in the script, and it is also an attractive reason......

"So let's do it first." Zheng Yuan finally nodded and said, "You guys seem to be busy with the Transformers live-action version recently, what's going on over there?" ”

"Don't worry, when you enter the group, you can just say it, and there will be no delay." Zhang Qiuxi said: "This is the key, even if you are too busy, you must take care of this side first." ”

In terms of making money, "If Love" obviously can't be compared with the live-action version of "Transformers", it is not a heavyweight at all, even if Zhang Qiuxi and them participate, the type of movie has already determined the box office level. But in terms of meaning, it is clear that the former is more important.

And "Transformers" can really shake off his hands, Zhang Qiuxi's work is to talk about cooperation with Warner Bros. except for the script, which is a bit of a racking of brains, everything else is very simple, and this kind of thing is a perfect fit. She mainly came forward to initiate, and then Warner Bros. would agree on the details with Dawning Media.

"I'm glad you said that, but it's also a lot of pressure." Zheng Yuan smiled: "I always feel sorry for you if I don't give my strength, and I'm worried that I will be completely suppressed by Transformers." ”

Zhang Qiuxi shrugged his shoulders and said: "What are you suppressing, it's good that Transformers can start filming when we finish filming, and there is no need to adjust the schedule at all, and there is no possibility of a crash." ”

While Zhang Qiuxi was talking about co-writing the script, the preparations for "If Love" had been completed, and the progress was already one step ahead, and the difficulty of filming was far lower than that of "Transformers", even if it was filmed at the same time, it would definitely be completed faster. What's more, the latter is only now about to start preparations, and the roles have not yet been selected, so it's like they can come over to shoot if they are assigned at will.

According to the script, "Transformers" was filmed back and forth between China and the United States, and it was necessary to shoot in multiple places, and CG special effects production was also time-consuming. The two films themselves are not in the same heavyweight class, so the same is the workload.

"It's completely unnecessary to worry about this, and it doesn't matter how much the movie makes." Hongdou then said: "Without Transformers, there may be blockbusters such as Superman and Martian Manhunter, and I don't have to worry about these to death." ”

"Transformers" is still far away, "Martian Manhunter" and "Superman" are really fast, and from time to time news breaks out, and the possibility of bumping into each other is really there. Of course, the specific situation will only be clear when it is booked.

"Actually, I don't have much confidence in making movies, but I try to make good ones." Zheng Yuan nodded, and then said: "There are still details to be dealt with here, and it may take a day or two to start filming, I will take advantage of this time to think about Ah Qiu's makeup, if it really can't be done, then shoot like this." ”

Zheng Yuan mostly shoots TV series, and this is the second time in the movie, and there are many differences between the two in terms of picture tables, and it is reasonable to lack confidence. Zhang Qiuxi They don't worry about this problem, sometimes they are not confident but can keep improving, and they will do it repeatedly because they feel that they are not doing a good job, such as Zhang Qiuxi's style.
