A small three-story wooden building, carved beams and painted buildings, looks like an ancient inn.

"The crew needs a lot of makeup, so they rent this house directly, which is also convenient for actors and can be used as a storage room to put props."

Zhou Xingxing took Qin Muchu to the building, the decoration inside was very simple, all wooden doors and windows.

"The first floor is where the group performers put on makeup, the second floor is the place where the leading actors put on makeup, and the third floor is where props are placed."

The group walked straight to the second floor, where the doors were wide open, and many people could be seen hurrying in the hallway with things such as wigs and yokai hoods.

Zhou Xingxing walked into one of the rooms, and a row of actors was sitting in rows applying makeup.

And the makeup...... Appalling.

Wu Mengda, who has long hair fluttering and a beard that spreads from his upper lip to his chin, has already made people's stomachs roll, but he is still wearing a thin silk veil, exposing his chest.

It's sassy and ugly.

Qin Muchu felt that he was going to grow corns.

"Oh, hey, Mr. Qin!"

Wu Mengda saw Qin Muchu through the mirror, and immediately smiled and was about to stand up to say hello.

Just this one laughs......

added a bit of obscenity to the sassy and ugly.

Qin Muchu hurriedly waved his hand to stop Wu Mengda from getting up,

"Don't,, you can do it."

As he spoke, he looked away, and his eyes already felt a little "spicy".

Wu Mengda also understood that his current makeup was a little too "dazzling", so he sat back in his seat with a smile and stopped talking.

"How? This look is absolutely unforgettable! ”

Zhou Xingxing smiled proudly, very satisfied with Wu Mengda's shape, which he designed.

Qin Muchu didn't speak, turned around silently, walked to the door of the room, pushed Zhou Huimin's head, and pushed her out.

"Oops, what to do!?"

Zhou Huimin slapped Qin Muchu's arm unhappily.

Do you know how to bully me, am I a good bully?

"Beware of corns."

Qin Muchu dropped his words, and then closed the door.

Zhou Huimin shook his teeth and claws at the air, and reluctantly walked back to the actress's dressing room.

"Sister Min, did you see it?"

As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Yin raised his head and asked curiously.

Hong Kong Island is so big, and when Zhou Huimin was on Hong Kong Island in the past, they had met a few times.

"No, don't let me see it."

Zhou Huimin shook his head and touched his forehead that had just been pushed.

Then he sat next to Zeng Li, lying in her ear, muttering, and his pretty face was full of indignation, as if he was complaining......

Zhu Yin saw that Zhou Huimin had no intention of continuing to talk to him, and also turned his head to talk to Liu Jialin, who is also on Hong Kong Island.

The quietest is Liu Shishi, who reads the script silently alone.

"Next time I'll just break his hand......"

Zeng Li listened to Zhou Huimin's broken thoughts in his ears, and shook his head helplessly, she was the most cowardly, and she was the hardest mouth.

Inadvertently seeing Liu Shishi in the corner, she thought about it, stood up and took the initiative to walk over......

Back to the actor's dressing room.

After Qin Muchu closed the door, he looked at the makeup of several other actors sitting in a row with Uncle Da.

are all bandits in the Supreme Treasure Cottage, except for the second master played by Uncle Da, the one who has more roles is the "blind man".

The one in the movie is very gay, and the classic line is "Oh, helper, people are infatuated with you".

At this time, he also adhered to the same style of makeup as Uncle Da - sassy, ugly, and obscene.

This is the consistent style of Zhou Xingxing's movies, with some very exaggerated and spicy makeup, which impresses the audience.

But Qin Muchu was a little dissatisfied.

This kind of thing pays attention to a degree, less is ineffective, and more is counterproductive.

In Qin Muchu's opinion, their makeup is a little "too much" now.

No matter what the shape is, it is to help shape the character, that is to say, the shape is to serve the character.

"Journey to the West" is a nonsensical movie, and the exaggerated shape is in line with the temperament of the whole movie.

If the shape is not exaggerated, and the bandits are all images in common TV series, then the impact of the movie will be a little weaker.

The reason why Zhou Xingxing's supporting roles in the movie are impressive is that the sharp and unique shape definitely accounts for a lot of credit.

But it's not too exaggerated, it can impact the audience's eyeballs, but it can't blind the audience's eyeballs and cause others physical discomfort.

Wu Mengda also has the appearance of a group of bandits, almost half-naked, and the two points are exposed, to the point of disgusting.

"No, all the shapes have to be changed, this scale, the release is dead...... It is very likely that it will not pass the trial. ”

Qin Muchu frowned, his voice was not loud, but his tone was categorical.

The smile on Zhou Xingxing's face instantly froze.

"Why? I think it's a good look. ”

"The scale is too big, if it is an art film, it will be voted to the film festival to win the award, this extremely exaggerated shape may be liked by the judges; But this is a commercial film, and the audience is an ordinary audience, but if the aesthetics are normal, it is impossible to accept this kind of styling.

In the cinema, do you expect parents to cover their children's eyes and boys to cover their girlfriends' eyes to watch this film? ”

Qin Muchu's words made Zhou Xingxing fall silent.

All the actors' shapes are carefully designed by him, even if there is no line trick, as long as he leaves the country, he will design it carefully.

It took so much effort, but it was directly denied.

He couldn't take it anymore.

Seeing Zhou Xingxing's hesitation, Qin Muchu thought about it, glanced around the room, and found a young prop master in his twenties.

"Pretty boy, come here."

The prop master wasn't sure if he was calling him or not, and pointed to himself.

"Yes, that's right."

Qin Muchu nodded.

The prop master walked over quickly, a little apprehensive.

"The actors in the movie are all in this style, will you take your girlfriend to see it?" Qin Muchu asked directly.

Zhou Xingxing also looked at him.

The prop master swallowed, not knowing how to answer.

They all heard what Qin Muchu said to Zhou Xingxing just now.

On one side is the director, and on the other side is the producer.

Either way, he's dead.

For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.

"Just tell the truth, I am discussing with the star guide, not quarreling."

Qin Muchu saw the prop master's concerns.

"Well, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?" Zhou Xingxing also nodded and made a joke.

"Yes, I have a girlfriend ......"

Only then did the prop master relax, and then he looked back at the looks of Wu Mengda and the others, and sorted out the wording.

"It's a little too much, too ...... It's exposed, I shouldn't let my girlfriend see it. ”

At this point, there is already an answer.

What kind of movie is "Journey to the West"?

Journey to the West, mythology, fantasy?

There are all, but in fact, the most important thing is love, and the story is about a love that cannot be loved.

The other factors are nothing more than vehicles and tools.

Love movies, couples don't want to watch it, that's a fart.

But in order to make Zhou Xingxing die, Qin Muchu asked again:

"Would you watch it yourself?"

The prop master thought for a while, looked at Zhou Xingxing, and whispered:

"Hmm...... If it was interesting somewhere else, I would have visited it. ”

The words were already said so tactfully, and Zhou Xingxing no longer insisted.

waved his hand to let the prop master leave, and looked at Qin Muchu again:

"How do you change it?"

"Be more restrained, you can have features, but not so strongly, otherwise it will also take away the theme of the movie."

As he spoke, Qin Muchu walked next to Wu Mengda and said to the makeup artist:

"Find a tattered piece of clothing."

The makeup artist immediately walked to the back hanger and pulled out a patched coarse cloth shirt.

", put on this dress."

"Hey, good."

Wu Mengda didn't say a word, took the clothes and prepared to put them on his body.

Suddenly, his hand stopped and looked at Zhou Xingxing.

"Wear it."

Zhou Xingxing also walked behind him and looked at him with his hands folded.

The tone was not very polite, but Wu Mengda knew that Zhou Xingxing's entry into the working state was like this, and he did this to everyone, so he didn't take it to heart.

So he was about to take off the silk gauze and thin clothes he was wearing, but was stopped by Qin Muchu.

"You don't have to take it off." Qin Muchu said.

Then he went straight to the door and tightened the loose silk yarn that Wu Mengda was originally wearing, blocking his exposed chest.

"Wear it."

Wu Mengda put on coarse cloth clothes outside the silk yarn as required, and stood up so that Qin Muchu and Zhou Xingxing could take a look.

Now Wu Mengda is still bare-chested, but his chest is covered by silk veil, and he can't see clearly in a hazy way.

It's still sassy, but it doesn't have that much impact, and it belongs to the category that makes people feel funny and not disgusting.

Zhou Xingxing's eyes lit up, and he also found that his current appearance seemed to be better than before.

"Tie up his long hair, not very delicate, a little more feminine, but a little nondescript, like ...... Do you know what I mean when an underage girl imitates her mother's hairstyle for the first time, but she doesn't imitate that feeling? Qin Muchu commanded the makeup artist again.

"Pretty much understood."

The makeup artist nodded, and operated on Wu Mengda's wig, because Qin Muchu's request was very simple, so it was done in a few clicks.

was about to fix it with a hairpin, but was stopped by Qin Muchu.

"Find a chopstick or a branch and insert it to fix it."

The makeup artist put down the hairpin, but it was a little difficult.

Where can I find chopsticks and branches?

"I'll look for it!"

Immediately someone volunteered to walk out of the room.

Wu Mengda waved his hand and said:

"No, there should be chopsticks in the trash can for the lunch box."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the small trash can at his feet, and sure enough, he found a pair of chopsticks.

"Give."

He pulled out a piece of paper from the table, wiped his chopsticks and handed them to the makeup artist, who immediately plugged them in.

Now Wu Mengda's image is a little more funny.

"Suppose there is a group of people passing by, and there is a man of the highest status in this group, and he is the most ornately dressed.

After the group was robbed, the man's clothes must have been given to the Supreme Treasure.

Who's the second-best dress you snatched? Second, the master.

Who among the robbed people originally belonged to the second-best clothes?

Women, women's clothes are the most gorgeous.

So the second master wears silk yarn.

And everything of the bandits is robbed, and their looks are also imitating the people who are robbed by them on the road, and as a result, Dong Shi will follow suit, and only then will they appear in the audience looking 'exaggerated' and 'out of place'. ”

Qin Muchu said slowly, as if talking to himself.

Zhou Xingxing on the side had unconsciously opened his mouth.

Then he suddenly reached out and touched Qin Muchu's body, as if he was looking for something.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Muchu immediately slapped Zhou Xingxing's hand away, and he was vigilant and took two steps back.

"You didn't give me all the scripts?" Zhou Xingxing couldn't believe it.

"It's all given."

"Then there is no plot."

Qin Muchu paused, of course there was no one in the script, this was made up by him.

"That's all there is to the main plot of the script, but as a director, you can't just see that part of the plot.

It's like a play you add to your tricks, you have to have a complete worldview that is self-justifying and logical. ”

Zhou Xingxing understands the truth, but ......

"Do you have to write a biography about your clothing style?"

"You don't need to write, just have it in your heart, why do bandits dress like this, you should have an explanation in your heart, and according to this 'explanation', your clothing design will be appropriate for the character.

Nonsensical is logical, but the logic is different from ordinary people, which you should know better than me. ”

Zhou Xingxing was silent.

The restless heart that had originally fantasized about "a piece of fire" slowly cooled down.

It was the first time he was officially a director, and he didn't think about it so comprehensively.

In the past, when he was "half a director", the big framework was controlled by a real director, and he only showed his talent on actors' performances or some plots.

Now I suddenly found that he still has a lot of shortcomings as a real director.

"Some of the movies on Hong Kong Island are very entertaining, and all the movies you've made before are good, so it's good to watch them and have a smile. However, if you are serious about it, many of the details are not rigorous enough, and there are contradictions in the logic.

It's no longer the time to make a movie every week or two and write a script while filming. Qin Muchu said.

He makes movies quickly because he has seen the finished product and has references, but if other directors are also at this speed, it is difficult to ensure the quality.

If a big production of 50 million wants to recover its cost, the box office must reach at least 150 million, and now there are only a few movies in the Celestial Empire that break 100 million?

Zhou Xingxing didn't speak, but he heard the words in his heart.

This is his first directing film, and he takes it more seriously than anyone else.

"Do you have any ideas for the shape of the Bull Demon King?" Zhou Xingxing asked suddenly.

"The Bull Demon King?"

Qin Muchu's mind immediately appeared with the image of a monster holding a fork, tall and burly, with a bull-headed human body.

It is also the villain boss in "Journey to the West".

"Isn't it just a holster? Can you still play with flowers? Have you read the 86 version of "Journey to the West"? Just be rough and savage according to that image. Qin Muchu said casually.

The monsters in "Journey to the West" basically can't see their faces, they wear thick leather holsters, they look like real "monsters", and they don't need to bother to design.

"Look at it."

Zhou Xingxing insisted.

As he spoke, he shouted props to bring the props and clothes of the Bull Demon King.

Black armor, a steel fork, a wig with two horns, and "cow ears" and "cow nose".

Qin Muchu can roughly imagine what these are like when worn on the actors, which is similar to the image of the Bull Demon King in his memory.

Then he nodded and said:

"Yes, the actor can try it, if you need to adjust it, you should have no problem."

"Really?"

Zhou Xingxing smiled strangely, and at the same time glanced at the makeup artists on the left and right.

Qin Muchu felt that something was not right.

"What?"

"Hey, hey."

Zhou Xingxing touched his chin, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled like a pervert.

Moreover, compared with Hong Kong Island movies, Qin Muchu has stricter requirements for the logical aspects of the movie.
