Chapter 18 The Skill of an Ugly Man Pretending to Be a Handsome Pot
Akaredo continued: "Now back to what we just said, to discard the traces of your past life - I think this is what you felt the most yesterday. That's right, in our line of work, the most feared thing is that it is difficult to forget and have feelings.
We are still a little different from actors, actors are not afraid of making mistakes when they play a role, and if they make mistakes, they play the wrong feelings, and it is a big deal to reshoot, while we make mistakes, and the ending is failure, even danger; An actor acts, playing a role is short-lived, he can brew feelings for a long time, only shoot a few minutes of the scene and then rest and continue another day, while our performance is coherent and every detail has to stand up to the scrutiny of the best detectives, so we have no right to make mistakes.
Therefore, we must first build ourselves psychologically. No matter how valuable and cherished the items of the past are, they must be discarded when it is time to discard, otherwise they will leave a clue to follow.
For example, textiles may seem like the same as one piece of cloth and another, but there is never anything in the world that is 100% exactly alike. The warp and weft of a piece of cloth are fixed when the cloth is spun. The more high-quality things, each change in warp and weft, means the birth of a new product, experienced detectives, pick up the warp and weft of the fabric, and immediately find out which country the fabric is the textile habits. If you further inspect the textile raw material, you can immediately find out which manufacturer it came from.
If we go a step further and examine the nuances of the raw materials, we can even determine when the fabric was spun, which loom spun it, and then find out where the fabric was sold, which designer made it into a garment, hung it in that shop, and who bought it - in this world, as long as you are willing to look for it, there is no truth to hide.
Watches, pens and cosmetics look like they are also industrial products, but each product has a barcode, and each barcode represents the production process and different industrial control standards......"
"I know that 'ISO standard certification' is engaged in this matter", Wang Cheng quickly said that he has insight.
Gower nodded approvingly: "Ordinary goods can be checked to each production process according to the barcode on the package, and high-end luxury goods, in order to reflect their thoughtful service, will even leave the customer's name and contact information......"
"I also know this, we here, not luxury goods will also leave customer names and contact information, and then resell the customer list to those who send small advertisements and engage in telephone fraud", Wang Cheng said this, and couldn't help but feel contemptuous in his heart - it is better to say that watches, wine knives, pens, sunglasses and other industrial products, who will not take them to the street to show off, put them at home to enjoy, who will come to make news reports......
Goyle continued: "The first lesson I teach you in camouflage is: learn to give up, learn to build psychologically, learn to change appearance quickly, learn to psychologically identify with a new character......
After a pause, Goyle added, "You're about to play the role of a normal tourist, how to dress as a tourist, and I can't advise you on that, because I find that I really don't know ...... Well, the national situation. In this place, the garbage woman who picks up tatters may carry a LV bag in her hand, which is really unpredictable. So I can only teach you how to fit into the environment first......
Fifty or sixty years ago, the requirements for pipeline dredging workers were: there were no obvious physiognomy characteristics, ordinary looks like their neighbors, there was a familiarity at a glance, not particularly repulsive, but in retrospect, they could not remember the existence of this person, or even if they remembered him, the image was vague and could not be accurately described.
However, the times are advancing, and in modern times, pipe dredging workers should learn not to be as ordinary as possible, because surveillance video equipment exists everywhere, so that even if people can't remember what this person looks like, they can also identify it when they call up the surveillance video afterwards.
So the current requirement is: the overall image should give people an absolute sense of trust, even if the police testify against him, the person concerned will deny it. On the other hand, they require themselves to have absolutely alibi evidence, so that the police have no way to correct them.
In this way, in various places, a dazzling person, a person who is always in the focus of public attention, becomes an invisible person. People turn a blind eye to his private activities, and even if they know the truth, they feel incredulous - isn't that how people are very towards celebrities? The scandal of the star, how much do fans believe it, or how much do they not believe it? ……”
“…… The earliest forms of make-up originated in painting. It is often said that there are no ugly women, only lazy women, and this is the use of makeup. When many celebrities are not wearing makeup, their image and temperament are not as good as the sister-in-law next door, but when they finish makeup, they immediately become dazzling. And the so-called celebrities are actually a group of ordinary people who know how to make up. They know how to hide their weaknesses and highlight their characteristics. And so they became stars.
However, for us, it's not enough to know how to put on makeup, we also need to know why it is done and how it works - I just talked about the origin of makeup and painting, have you ever studied drawing? ”
Wang Cheng was a little dizzy: "Is it true that if you want to do a good job as a 'pipeline dredging worker', you must first learn the basic skills of a painter?" ”
"You don't have to be a painter, but you have to know how painting works. In the past, painters painted portraits of princes and nobles, and when they painted, they naturally had to beautify the image of customers, and on this basis, people found that vision can be deceived, and the clever use of light and shadow can make a person's appearance beautify and change a lot, so makeup was born.
For example, someone wants their cheekbones to be higher and their facial features more angular, and painters can do this if they find a little bright color on the cheekbones of a portrait. This technique is transferred to the human face, which is also applied with bright colors, so it becomes a makeup technique. The dark powder, on the other hand, makes the facial features vague and does not give a specific characteristic—this is what was required of the 'plumbing dredger' in the fifties and sixties.
Further, if you want your cheekbones to appear more beautiful and handsome, then you can achieve this goal by skillfully using bright and dark powders, and adjusting the proportions and sizes of various color blocks on your face with changes in light and shadow. Actors learn how to put on makeup, and plumbing workers need to know why they put on makeup and learn the principles, so in an emergency, in a small space, it only takes a few seconds, a few simple strokes on the face, and immediately becomes a newcomer, a stranger.
Generally speaking, after noticing that the person on the other side has changed, what do people turn to for verification? Of course, people's eyes will fall on his clothing, such as the watch he wears, the perfume he uses, the brand of clothing, the color, etc., in addition to some personal habits and actions - for example, when a person laughs, some people are reserved and straightened, some people lean back, some people lean forward and backward, some people are used to leaning to the right side, and some people are used to leaning to the left rear 15 degrees......
