Chapter 69: The Party Man?
Qian Xunzhi looked funny, and chiseled up lightly, "Have you remembered what you just said?" ”
"Remembered"
"Well, take these well," Qian Xunzhi quickly stuffed a smaller soft leather bag into his hand, "This you put close to the inside pocket of the suit, inside is a mirror, eyebrow pencil, small brush and I according to your skin tone of good powder, today Bei Hongde is mostly dancing in Cinause, if not, you will find the four major dance halls one by one." But whichever one you go to the toilet first, and then fix the makeup on your face in the cubicle as I told you. Pay attention to look in the mirror every one or two hours, touch up your makeup in time, for insurance, it is best not to eat, drink less water, otherwise the flesh on the face will move more, and the powder on it will not stick firmly. ”
"So troublesome...
"Don't be verbose, I don't paint them when people ask me. Hurry up and take off your padded robe and lined shirt and change into a suit."
Qian Dingzhang did as he said, and after changing his clothes, he returned to the guest room, and Qian Xunzhi followed behind with his changed clothes.
Sure enough, as soon as the person entered the guest hall, He Ruoxi shouted first, "Who are you, how did you get in, get out!" ”
Lu Zuixian was also startled, and when he saw Qian Xunzhi behind him, he suddenly realized, "This is small money?" I look more than 10 years older."
At this moment, after Qian Dingzhang has undergone some clever retouching, the image of the original young handsome and handsome man is of course gone, and it has been replaced by a public face, which belongs to the kind of person who will not pay attention to it when thrown on the street. In particular, the two eyebrows that look unlucky make people feel unlucky, and they don't want to look at it more.
Qian Xunzhi suddenly patted his head, "Oops, I forgot" After speaking, he took out a pair of tortoiseshell-edged prototype glasses from his pocket, "Oh, Pingguang, bring it, and remember to squint your eyes a little later." As for the accent, you sing and play the lyrics, and I don't need to teach you any more in the local dialects. ”
"Of course," Qian Dingzhang responded, his heart blooming with joy, "I usually speak Suzhou dialect, but Lao Tzu is indeed a native of Shanghai, and he doesn't dare to use Shanghainese after speaking it for decades, and it's very uncomfortable these days." Okay today, I have the opportunity to open my mouth and say, well, I just have to be careful not to bring out those new terms after 80 years, at least I have to pay attention to this kind of shrinking eggs and fattening. ”
Raising his eyes to look at Shuangshu's ghost-like expression, Qian Dingzhang still secretly gave Qian Xunzhishu a thumbs up and shouted, "Awesome, this is the legendary disguise technique."
"You go to Ciroth like this, where the lights flicker on and off, the light is weird, and it is basically impossible for people to see through this bit of hands and feet on the face, unless you meet an expert who looks at the bones, but this kind of person is in the patrol room, and he won't run around if he has nothing to do."
"No, I haven't seen Bei Dashao, how can so many people in the dance hall recognize it when the time comes?"
Qian Xunzhi smiled meaningfully at Lu Zuixian, "Mr. Lu??" ”
He Ruoxi next to him also smiled with a hippie face, and Lu Zuixian looked at his sister helplessly, "You little girl, Mr. Qian, wait a minute, I have a photo of him here, take it and see it." ”
Qian Dingzhang then remembered that taking photos in this era is really a lofty activity, a few days ago passing by the photo studio, he wanted to take a full-body photo on a whim as a commemoration of the crossing. As a result, when I asked the price, a full-body glossy photo cost five cents a piece, and God knew that the father and son only earned 20 yuan a month when they sang, so he was scared and fled.
Of course, expensive also has the advantage of being expensive, at this time, take a photo, the photo studio will not only give you fine makeup, but also repeatedly adjust and test it many times to ensure that the result is more beautiful than your real person. If you can add money to the long real abstraction, please ask the darkroom master to make fine-tuning and correction on the negative, which is equivalent to the PS of later generations, but the technical difficulty is not the same, and the advertising slogan of the photo studio at this time is mostly "specially hired European upper-class photographers, experienced and skilled, and there are senior technicians in the darkroom to work for you at any time". As for the later generations of poisonous university equipment party at this time did not have its breeding soil, all German cameras Hasselblad, Laika, Ulleforth fors. With Kodak's, I'm sorry, it's not a photographer who takes a criminal registration photo for the patrol room.
The service is so good, celebrities and rich people from all walks of life flock to it, and after taking pictures, they pick out the most beautiful ones to print, and then divide them with relatives and friends. Pei Dashao, a veteran of the carnival who lingers in Fengyue places, is naturally also proficient in this.
Not long after, Lu Zuixian took the photo, Qian Dingzhang took a look, the person in the photo is in his early thirties, with a beautiful Clark Gable-style mustache, 34 years of "One Night" and 35 years of "Rebel Ship Blood" are big sellers around the world, and he and his iconic mustache have also become the object of imitation by many people.
At this moment, Pei Dashao's eyes in the photo are blazing, but there is a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth, plus this handsome mustache. It does have the capital to become a happy Huatuo. Qian Dingzhang looked at the photo, but his heart was uneven: "If it weren't for Lao Tzu for the country and the people, he could only spend makeup to see you, which of us would not be good-looking!" ”
Turning his head, he saw Qian Xunzhi looking at him with a smile, and he panicked, his old man has always been shrewd, and he was afraid that he would see through his mind at the moment...
Qian Xunzhi once again solemnly bowed his hand to Shuangshu, "Two, the little dog is really contributing to the country, and please keep the two of them secret, otherwise they will be heard by the Orientals, and the safety of our father and son is only afraid. ”
Lu Zuixian nodded, "Mr. Qian, don't worry, our sisters still know the severity." He Ruoxi next to him also nodded his little brain with a little force.
The atmosphere was a little bit "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold" for a while, and Qian Xunzhi said, "Ah Nan, you go out and call a rickshaw and go to Xianlesi." ”
"Hey, Daddy, don't you go with me"
"When did I say I was going to go with you? I'm going with you, why should I just put on your makeup? ”
"No, I'm a little panicked when I go alone, let's go by one by one, and it would be good to go into the dance hall separately when the time comes."
"Little ghost, I also eat Jianghu rice, this face appears in the big world every day, if someone recognizes it one day, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
"Then I'll go in, and you'll wait for me outside?"
"The more you talk, the more unpleasant it becomes, you are "rubbing and rubbing" inside, and I am eating the northwest wind outside? Don't go, don't go, and besides, what if I have something to do? ”
"What's the matter?"
"Of course it's dinner, Sister-in-law Feng seems to have made jade shrimp today, rotten paste wings, and roast pork with tiger skin eggs, all of which I like, go by yourself." Qian Xunzhi waved his hand as if chasing flies.
Qian Dingzhang was so angry that he turned his head and walked out the door.
"That's right," Qian Xunzhi suddenly remembered something, and said, "Don't eat, otherwise the powder on your face will fall off... ”
"I know, if you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death" Qian Dingzhang gritted his teeth and was about to leave the open house.
"That's right," Qian Xunzhi shouted as if he remembered something
"What tricks do you have?"
"Here's this" Qian Xunzhi took out the pocket watch from his arms and handed it to his son, "It's like a little bit to be pretended, I have specially changed the watch chain"
Rao had a reminder first, when Qian Dingzhang took it, he still felt a sinking in his hand, obviously the gold-filled watch chain that was commonly used had been replaced with gold, and the color should be 18k or 20k. The small clip used to hold the pocket at one end of the chain was also replaced, and the new clip was not only made of K gold, but also inlaid with a small diamond, which made it even more dazzling in the light.
As for the steel watch cover, which was once drilled by Kawamoto, there is no sign of damage at the moment, but a small gold glittering five-pointed star is inlaid on the hole as a decoration, and the five-pointed star is also embedded with diamonds.
"This watch cover is broken, I feel a little pity to replace it, I went to the second silver building when I was in Shengze, and let their master help me repair it, it looks very beautiful."
"Pentagram??" Qian Dingzhang's eyes narrowed, and it couldn't be more obvious to the traverser what this symbol represented. Could it be that Lao Tzu himself is a member of the party? Suddenly, my mind turned to a question.
======================================
After all, times are advancing, and many things that look ordinary today were not the same 49 years ago. For example, taking pictures, even in the era of the planned economy, when the monthly salary was 32 yuan and the rice was more than 1 cent a catty, it was only a few cents to go to the photo studio to take a photo, and the hemp noodles with a larger size were probably more than a piece. Consumption is a bit high, but acceptable.
It's just that 49 years ago, this was considered high consumption, and it was not nonsense to talk about one more piece in the article. Ordinary people are only gritting their teeth and spending money when they celebrate birthdays, family reunions, and old acquaintances in other places.
That period until the 50s, to take a serious photo, the photographer adjusted the lighting set, and corrected your pose before and after it took more than half an hour. Photographers have a habit of always carrying a small comb in their pockets so that they can arrange their hair at any time.
By the way, I personally think that Kang Sheng, a master of modern Chinese calligraphy and the number one calligrapher in the party's political arena, how did he have so much time to practice calligraphy? In that year, he returned to China as a twenty-eight and a half Bolsheviks, because he studied internal security in the Soviet Union, and the party sent him to Beijing as a liaison officer to do intelligence work.
Then there is always a professional cover, he chose to open a photo studio, as soon as he came to this high-end place, there were few people, and it was quiet and not easy to have accidents. Secondly, you can know the upper class people, which is convenient for cover. One of the things that Kang is more sad about is that he sets the price high, so that no one comes to the door. He was happy to be idle and practiced calligraphy behind closed doors.
But I think that with the aesthetic taste expressed by Kang Sheng's calligraphy attainments, the photos he discharged should not be bad.
The second is the darkroom technology, let's put it this way, the earliest darkroom dermabrasion seen so far was processed by a foreigner for the Queen Mother Xi, and all the wrinkles and eye bags on her face were removed. Later, in the great Soviet Union, because of the frequent changes at the top, this dressing technology developed even faster.
Finally, let us always hold high the banner of Daguerre
