Chapter 89: The Soul of Makeup Styling

After lunch, Ren Shuai met the director under the recommendation of Shen Luqian.

Director Zong is a person full of literary atmosphere, dressed very retro, and looks young, but he is actually 56 years old.

His name is very distinctive, called Zhi Yizhao, which sounds like a trick, and he is considered an old qualification in the TV drama industry.

This shooting of a spy war film is an attempt he made in order to bring his apprentices.

His apprentice is also one of the directors of the crew, with a personalized mustache and a flower turban on his head, he looks like he is in his forties, but he is actually in his early thirties, named Chi Yi.

Ren Shuai feels that the names of the two are quite auspicious, one trillion, one hundred million, it is a bit of a loss to be a TV series director, they should make movies, and the box office will definitely sell well.

Zhi Yizhao looked at Ren Shuai and nodded to express his satisfaction, he had seen the photos provided by Shen Luqian before, and he also knew that Shen Luqian was very happy when he cooperated with him in "Nine Lives and Nine Worlds", so he readily agreed.

Previously, he had also pondered the choice of this behind-the-scenes villain, and he was interested in inviting an old artist to make a cameo.

But spy war films should pay attention to a sense of mystery, once a well-known actor comes to make a cameo, as soon as he shows his face, the audience can guess that he has an identity, and the mystery is destroyed in an instant.

Therefore, when Shen Luqian recommended this Li Laifu, the branch director agreed without much hesitation.

After all, you have to have good acting skills, but you have to be not well-known, and you have to be of the right age, and there are few people in the first place.

Mr. Li just fits all of them.

Under the skillful hand of the makeup artist, Ren Shuai quickly dressed up, put on a suit made of gray tweed fabric, fixed his hair with gel into a back shape, and matched with a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses, just like a behind-the-scenes military advisor.

The director nodded to express his satisfaction, but looked left and right and hesitated: "It seems to be a little too handsome, and it also looks too young, and it looks like a positive character." ”

Ren Shuai has no opinion on this, he doesn't have much experience, he doesn't have too many ideas of his own, and it all depends on the director's arrangement.

Seeing that Ren Shuai didn't speak, the branch director turned his head and asked Shen Luqian: "Comrade heroine, come and see, do you think Mr. Li needs to adjust his style?" ”

Shen Luqian looked at Ren Shuai's spiritual dress, if it wasn't for the gold wire glasses to cover it, I am afraid that she would be recognized as the mysterious Teacher Li on the red carpet.

She immediately nodded and said, "I have to change it, or change the hairstyle to a middle part." ”

Ren Shuai had no opinion, the makeup artist acted immediately, and the style changed from the back to the middle.

However, his appearance is slightly resistant, and with gold wire glasses, Ren Shuai, who is in the middle, looks bookish.

Compared with the back, not only did it not look worse, but the momentum decreased, and the intimacy increased.

"It doesn't seem to work."

Shen Luqian was the first to reject her proposal.

The director was also a little melancholy, and consulted the makeup artist: "Is there any way to make him look like a bad guy?" ”

The makeup artist carefully looked at Ren Shuai and found that his facial features were very upright, and his face shape did not have a prominent sharpness, making it difficult to draw the temperament of a villain.

She shook her head slightly and said, "Teacher Li's image as a villain can only rely on acting skills." ”

The director is experienced, of course, he knows that playing the villain with a positive image is more evil and terrifying, but now the audience has figured out the routines of the TV series and has learned to guess the bad guys from the good guys, and he doesn't want to fall into the clichΓ©.

The guide wants to make a mille-feuille.

He just wants to make Ren Shuai look like a bad guy, but the bad is very superficial and obvious, so that the audience ignores him and doesn't think that the final boss is him.

Therefore, he needs to work Ren Shuai's image to make him a bad guy from his appearance.

Zhi Yizhao didn't think of a way for the time being, and turned his head to look at his apprentice.

Chi Yi, who was wearing a flower turban, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master, if I still have some ideas about modern clothes, I will have no way to be in a period drama." ”

Ren Shuai suddenly remembered some war movies he had seen in his previous life, in which some characters looked like villains, and the essence of their makeup was a little black on their faces.

"Director, why don't you put a mustache on it." Ren Shuai proposed.

Zhi Yizhao nodded and said, "I can only try it first." ”

It's not that he didn't think about adding a beard, but he was afraid that it would make the character look more gentlemanly.

The makeup artist immediately took out the patch from the toolkit and picked out a mustache to peel off.

Ren Shuai stopped: "Let's not choose this shape, let's be square." ”

The makeup artist was a little puzzled, she had been wearing makeup for a long time, and she had never heard anyone ask for a square beard.

"There's no one in the patch, so you can only cut the shape yourself."

The make-up artist handed over a full patch of beard.

Ren Shuai was not ambiguous, picked up the scissors and began to operate, cut out a small square piece in three or two clicks, removed the adhesive tape, and pasted it on his face.

Adjusting his position in the mirror, Ren Shuai turned to face a few people.

"How's it going, does it smell inside?" Ren Shuai asked with a smile.

The branch guide looked at the small piece of beard he stuck to the middle of the person, and couldn't help but be amazed.

"It feels right!"

Somehow, there was an extra beard in that position, and suddenly there was a villain atmosphere.

The makeup artist was even more surprised than the director, and she admired Mr. Li's imagination a little, and as a makeup artist, she was willing to bow down.

Shen Luqian chuckled, she didn't see much evil aura, but inexplicably felt that Teacher Li was very happy.

When Ren Shuai saw her smile, he immediately straightened his face, and there was a gloomy aura in his eyes.

Shen Luqian was suddenly frightened.

Ren Shuai smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Shen Luqian stuck out her tongue, almost forgetting that Teacher Li was an old-timer, and she couldn't be too presumptuous as a junior.

However, since the last time she walked the red carpet, she always felt that Mr. Li was not as distant as she imagined, and she felt very comfortable and secure to get along.

Zhi Yizhao looked at Ren Shuai and said, "That look just now is very in place, and it is very consistent with the image." ”

Ren Shuai smiled modestly, but there was an inexplicable sense of hypocrisy with the image.

Zhi Yizhao was even more satisfied, nodded and said, "Okay, the shape is settled, that's it, Mr. Li, you will familiarize yourself with the script in the afternoon, and shoot your shots tomorrow." ”

Ren Shuai thought that he would shoot in the afternoon, but he didn't expect to wait for tomorrow, so he asked: "I only took two days off, is it too late?" ”

Zhi Yizhao is not surprised, he has already learned from Shen Luqian that Ren Shuai is an employee of Meiying, and in addition to acting, he also needs to take care of his own work, and the filming time is limited.

"Don't worry, the plot is all lined up, let Koike Yi shoot the rivalry between you and another teacher tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will personally shoot the rivalry between you and Luxi, and you will finish filming these two parts."

"Okay."

Ren Shuai wanted to start shooting as soon as possible and complete the system task quickly, but he was always curious about what good things he could spin out of the lucky wheel this time.

But now that the director has arranged it, he can't be too eager for quick success.

Just wait an extra day.
