XXXVIII. Accept the task

Outside the car window, a meteor streaked across the night sky, and before I could make a wish, it disappeared. I'm just waiting for another shooting star, and I'm going to make that wish tonight.

The men slept in tents, and the women slept in the car, fearing snakes on the ground, so I slept comfortably in two seats by myself. It's past midnight, and I can hear the sound of other people's even breathing and the whispers of dreams.

I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The sky, which had been clear just now, was now covered with black clouds, and not even a single star could be seen, let alone a meteor. Could it be that this is all providence? The memories of the previous life are overwhelming, and the headlines on the front pages of major newspapers are shaking in front of me: the untimely death of the first director of Chinese love, the end of love "Oriental Dazzling" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, is the love director smiling, hundreds of millions of assets are inherited, and the bloody competition is making waves again......

No! I sat up abruptly, my heart desolate and unsettled. Gently open the door and carefully step on the grass. The heavens and the earth were dark, everything was silent, the cold wind swept the ground, and I shivered. Looking up, you can't find a single small star, let alone a shooting star.

scolded himself in a low voice: "Stupid, why don't you make a wish when that meteor happens, stupid!" Stupid! ”

"It's going to catch a cold."

I was half frightened to death by the sudden appearance of such a sand and eerie sound in the silent field.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to scare you!" The party was very apologetic on the cold night.

It took ten minutes for my soul to return: "Han Dao, why are you here?" Scared to death ......"

"I woke up when I heard movement, why don't I go to sleep? I have to work tomorrow. ”

"I ...... I ...... "I can't tell him that you're going to die, just next month, I don't want you to die, I'm waiting for a meteor, I wish to keep you, "I can't sleep......"

"What? Homesick? ”

In his opinion, a little girl like me must be homesick if she hasn't come home for so long.

I nodded abruptly, confused.

"After filming the last scene tomorrow, you can go home, and I would like to thank Shui Yue for sending me such a good assistant as you."

What am I, he just saw Jiang Shuiyue so polite to me, but I really care about him, I can't imagine what kind of sadness and loneliness my psychology will struggle in this world without him. Struggling in this moral decay of society, he is like a pure ark, allowing me to see the hope of the soul, and like a looming lamp of hope and the lamp of faith. I don't want the ark of hope to sink, I don't want the lamp of faith to go out, never!

"Han Dao, do I have another wish that I can ask you to help me fulfill?"

Maybe he thinks I'm childish, maybe he thinks I'm too worldly, he smiled and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Of course, you can mention it now, I won't break my word." ”

"I'd like to save it for later, okay?"

"Well, let's go back to sleep."

Back in the car, this time I quickly fell asleep, and even the next day, the rest of the crew was already busy, and I still fell asleep in the car. Until everyone cooked the meal, Sister Tao came to call me to eat, and I was still staring and dreaming.

"Girl, it's time to get up, fortunately, Director Han is generous to people, it's no wonder that you don't scold to death in other crews like this."

I was completely drowsy by Sister Tao's words, like a kitten who made a mistake, and got out of the car in a panic. Everyone was already eating, and I was a little at a loss, so Teacher Zhong Yinan urged me: "Xiaoxue, hurry up, otherwise I will be hungry if I don't have food." ”

I hurriedly filled the meal and devoured the next box, for fear that I would fall behind again.

After dinner, I didn't come back to my senses for a few hours with a sentence from the cold night of the party:

"Xiaoxue, you are responsible for all the makeup of the male protagonist and heroine today, Sister Tao, the six of you, please cooperate with Xiaoxue."

Don't say I haven't come back to my senses, and neither have their six top makeup artists who have seen the world.

It was still Mr. Zhong Yinan's fritters, who understood first, and said with a smile: "Director Han is going to use a newcomer, it's a surprise win, Xiaoxue has to perform well, it's all up to you today!" ”

I have always found it hard to believe that this is the decision of this great director, he should know very well that yesterday's shooting was very successful, the filming of the film has been completed, if you want to repeat yesterday's shooting today, people don't have to think about it first, how much should be used for the negative, it is close to ten minutes, "Oriental Dazzling" is the best negative used, it is said to be very expensive and expensive, and it is not like this to burn money if you have money.

Everyone was busy with work, and I was the only one sitting in a daze. Sister Tao saw it in her eyes and comforted me: "Xiaoxue, don't be too nervous, I think Director Han just wants to try a new style to complete this scene today, whether it will be successful or not, he is not sure, yesterday's is already very good, even if it is not good today, it will not affect the progress of the whole film." Just let go and do it. ”

I smiled stiffly at her, I knew it was said, but who would do something to fail? What's more, only I know in this world that this will be the first Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in Chinese mainland, and if you follow the previous ideas, as long as there is no deviation in history, you will definitely win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. So I don't want my time travel to affect its honor, which is what many filmmakers dream of. I don't want to be a sinner in the history of Chinese cinema.

I didn't move, the six makeup artists were in a hurry, and took turns to do the work for me, and even Mary, who came from Hollywood and was not proficient in Chinese, persuaded me bluntly: "Xiaoxue, I know, you, can, do, well." Believe, yourself, come on! okay? ”

In the face of everyone's wheel war, I just shook my head and said, "No, no, it's going to be troublesome, I can't do it......"

I don't know when, everyone stopped talking, and the anger was a little unusual, and when I looked up, Dang Hanye stood next to me. He squatted down and said to me, "Xiaoxue, don't be so stressed. I just want to finish this scene in a different way, I need your help, and you can't play a key role in success or not. Show your understanding of the film, if you want to be a good makeup artist, you have to give up what others already have and create your own expressiveness. Besides, I didn't really want to cut today's shot into the movie, so we just took it as an exploration, okay? ”

I looked at his expectant gaze for a long time before I nodded. He breathed a sigh of relief, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Everyone is ready, it's up to you." ”

Then he went back to his business, and I was still at a loss.

"Xiaoxue, I really don't have time to wait, when I work, it's very unkind for Han Dao to start a fire." Even the two big stars, Tang Yan and Liu Xijie, were beside me to persuade me.

It's not that I don't want to paint, but I'm afraid of messing up, this will be a masterpiece that leads the makeup trend, and its impact on the outfits of future generations is immeasurable. With my current experience and level, I can't be at the forefront of this fashion wave. However, Dang Hanye has already said this to reassure me, and I can't pull his hind legs anymore, and I will never be a deserter in his eyes!

I opened my makeup case and lay quietly in the beautiful crystal box. It is the king of colors, the red of reds, and its beauty, stunningness and splendor, even in the makeup world a decade later, there is no color that can match it.

In order to make it more dazzling, in order to make the oriental dazzling color more oriental charm, I can only give it a go. I told myself that I would never be a miracle destroyer, I would be a miracle worker within miracles!

Close your eyes and shut out all the worries, doubts, hesitations, and atrophy from your eyelids. The ever-changing charm of the orient slowly blooms in my whole world......
