Dorsett Hotel Shanghai SJ is a 3-star hotel.

At ten o'clock in the morning of this day, in the conference room of the hotel, a group of people were gathering to talk, this group of people was Guo Xiaodong, Yan Danchen, Zhao Yang, Liu Xiaoqing, etc., they gathered together for a script seminar.

If nothing else, in five days at most, the drama will officially start filming.

Compared with other film and television dramas, there is not much preparation time.

Li Shengyao asked them to get together as often as possible and cultivate their feelings.

Why are the leading actors of idol dramas prone to scandals, in addition to the handsome men and the beautiful women, there is also a point that compared with other dramas, idol dramas need the actors to relax more, so that they can interact with each other.

And between people, only by being familiar with each other and trusting each other, can they be close to another person.

Lee Shengyao didn't have much time to study the script for them, so he could only let these people run in as soon as possible.

At this time, on one side of the conference room are the actors, and on the other side are Lee Shengyao and Tommy, the makeup artist of the show.

Generally, large-scale TV series have stylists, but Li Shengyao is poor, where can they afford to hire stylists.

directly found a well-known makeup artist in the circle to come over, Li Shengyao set the look by himself, and the makeup artist arranged it according to his ideas.

Tommy is in his early thirties, his face is full of powder, his hair is oily, and he speaks like a girl, but he is actually 1.8 meters, with broad shoulders and thick palms, so he can't play a center forward, and he is more than enough to play a defender.

"Look at the four of them, they are all young and beautiful handsome guys and beauties, I want to highlight their beauty, clothes that can show their figure, look clean and fresh, and fashionable."

"Whether it's a suit, or jeans, or tracksuits, it has to fit."

"And hair, not too short, not too long, clean and sunny."

"Zhao Yang is still too dark now, you have to turn him whiter."

Lee Shengyao then handed Tommy the personalities and identities of the four leading actors, and asked him to match clothes and makeup according to the characteristics of these four characters.

The male No. 1 and No. 2 men in "Love Hotel" are all social elites, and they all wear suits and trousers during work, and they usually wear shirts and jeans.

It's all better to match.

The crew had no money and couldn't find sponsorship.

Li Shengyao asked Guo Xiaodong and Zhao Yang to bring their clothes over.

The role of the female No. 1 Yan Danchen is the VIP customer service manager of the hotel, and she usually wears a professional suit.

This requires the crew to rent a few suits, similar to the flight attendant uniform.

Actually, it's easy to match.

The only thing that needs to be put into it is the female number two.

Liu Xiaoqing's character is the daughter of a hotel boss, a rich lady, who dresses fashionably and looks more upscale.

Tommy looked at the information, then looked at a few leading actors, nodded, and then went to choose clothes, and soon after he chose a suit and asked Guo Xiaodong to try on makeup.

After about ten minutes of tossing, Guo Xiaodong returned to the conference room.

"Director, is that okay?"

Tommy has worked as a makeup artist for several crews before, and to be honest, from his point of view, the aesthetics of those crews are very earthy.

Lee Shengyao is obviously different, he feels challenged, and he is a little excited.

Guo Xiaodong wore a very well-fitting suit, with a pair of leather shoes, and his hair was blown, which still looked quite like that.

But Li Shengyao couldn't help frowning when he saw it.

There is no problem with Guo Xiaodong's appearance, his problem is that he does not have the aura of an urban elite.

is like the later Anzhu Rabebi, who plays a department manager and walks like a little girl at the front desk.

Lee realized that it was not enough for the leading actors to study the script and cultivate their feelings, but also to give them a sense of urban elite.

The male lead, the male number two, and the female protagonist are all social elites, people above the level of department managers, they stand there, confident and introverted, unassuming, but full of aura.

Tommy then set Zhao Yang's makeup, and after the effect came out, there was no problem with the same appearance.

Zhao Yang, who painted his face whiter, has a strong sense of Su, and it is enough to act in idol dramas.

Liu Xiaoqing and Yan Danchen were like this later.

Yan Danchen has an excellent figure, and she is very charming when she wears a professional suit.

The makeup is all good and there are no problems.

The problem of the four of them is that they lack aura, like young people who have just come out of society, and they don't have the feeling of being the boss of the department.

"Tommy, the four of them have no problem with their makeup, but the momentum is insufficient, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are both department managers, the male number two is an investment boss who controls billions, and the female number two is also the daughter of the group, do you have a way to let them cultivate a strong aura within five days."

Tommy thought for a while, "I don't know, the crew I stayed in before also encountered such a problem, and the director either ignored it, or just grinded and kept shooting." ”

"Does that non-stop shooting have any effect?"

"I don't think it worked."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Okay, it's not bad to set the makeup today, and for the next three months, then please leave it to you." ”

Tommy immediately said there was no problem.

After Tommy left, Li Shengyao clapped his hands, and then told the four actors this question, "You guys have been thinking about it for yourselves these days, and then observe those social elites and find your feelings as soon as possible." ”

He then left and returned to his room, the actor's business, let the actor think about it first, they can't do it, he will go out again.

Some directors will train actors, and some directors will not.

When Li Shengyao was in the crew in his previous life, he also saw many directors training actors, and he had some ideas.

But there is no need to say it now, and when they can't help it, he will say it again, which will be more convincing.

He now has to arrange the sequence of the shooting, because it is too rushed, and the actors may not be able to get into the groove so quickly.

Lee Shengyao plans to shoot some simple scenes first, and then shoot more complex and difficult scenes.

He wants to count all the scenes first and mark the degree of difficulty.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Shengyao left the room, planning to go to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

"Director, are you eating?"

Yan Danchen, who lived next door to him, quickly caught up, she was wearing a professional suit at this time, with a women's small suit on top and a knee-length skirt below, revealing two straight and well-proportioned calves.

She exercises a lot and her calves look slender and strong.

It is very much in line with the image of the female number one.

Li Shengyao nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, eat." ”

"Director, let's work on the script together in the afternoon and study the elitist sense you said, but about the feeling of urban white-collar workers, I always feel a little worse."

Yan Danchen was a little anxious, after all, this was a TV series she valued, and she hoped to perform better.

"If we have enough time, we are willing to experience the work of hotel management for half a year, but now we don't have enough time, what should we do?"

This is not only Yan Danchen's meaning, but also the meaning of several other people.

Li Shengyao didn't expect these guys to be in such a hurry, so he came over to inquire on the first day.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't want these four people to win the actor, as long as the performance is excellent.

Generally speaking, there are two ways for actors to perform in a profession that they are not familiar with, one is to experience it directly, and the other is to write a character biography.

They don't have time to experience observations, they can only write biographies.

The more prepared and thoughtful you are, the more confident you will be in this regard.

is like the thousand-faced actor Liang Jiahui, he is on Hong Kong Island, where does he have so much time to experience life.

He relied on writing characters to help himself.

If you don't understand, ask a professional person for guidance, see if there are any mistakes, correct them, and then study.

It's a trick, and it works well.

Li Shengyao then explained Liang Jiahui's approach, and finally said: "If you want to write, write it early, and then look at the hotel management, it is best to avoid some common-sense mistakes."

Yan Danchen's eyes lit up a little, "Okay, director, we must work hard." ”

Li Shengyao waved his hand, "Hurry up." ”

In his previous life, these actors had no black material, I hope they will work hard this time.

Their crew is poor, and it will cost a day to delay it, so it's best to start filming quickly.
