I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 189 Actor Modeling
A three-story wooden building with carved beams and painted buildings looks like an ancient inn.

"There are many places where the crew needs to make up, so they rented this house directly. It is also convenient for actors to use, and it can also be used as a storage room for props."

Zhou Xingxing led Qin Muchu into the building. The decoration inside was very simple, with wooden doors and windows.

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

A group of people went straight to the second floor. The doors of the rooms on the second floor were all open. In the aisle, many people could be seen hurrying with things such as wigs and monster headgear.

Zhou Xingxing walked into one of the rooms, where rows of actors were sitting and applying makeup.

And the makeup...it's horrible.

Wu Mengda, with long hair fluttering and a beard spreading from his upper lip to his chin, already made his stomach roll with this look, but he still wore a thin silk gauze, exposing his chest.

It's coquettish and ugly.

Qin Muchu felt that he was about to grow corns.

"Hey hey, President Qin!"

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

just this smile...

Added a bit of wretchedness to the show and ugliness.

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

"No, Brother Da, just do it."

As he spoke, he moved his eyes away, which already felt a little "spicy".

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

"How is it? This look is absolutely unforgettable!"

Zhou Xingxing smiled triumphantly, and was very satisfied with Wu Mengda's shape, which was designed by him.

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

"Hey, what are you doing!?"

Zhou Huimin slapped Qin Muchu's arm unhappily.

Just know to bully me, am I easy to bully?

"Watch out for corns."

Qin Muchu left a few words, and then closed the door.

Zhou Huimin bared her teeth and claws at the air, and walked back to the actress's dressing room helplessly.

"Sister Min, have you seen it?"

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

Hong Kong Island is just that big. When Zhou Huimin was on Hong Kong Island before, they had met several times.

"No, don't let me see."

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

Then he sat next to Zeng Li, leaning against her ear, muttering, his pretty face was full of indignation, as if he was suing...

Seeing that Zhou Huimin didn't intend to continue talking to him, Zhu Yin also turned to talk to Liu Jialin, who is also from Hong Kong Island.

The quietest one was Liu Shishi, reading the script silently by himself.

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

Listening to Zhou Huimin's broken thoughts, Zeng Li shook his head helplessly. She was the one who loved her the most, and she was also the one who spoke the hardest.

Inadvertently seeing Liu Shishi in the corner, she thought about it, stood up and walked over...

Go back to the actor's dressing room.

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

They are all bandits in the Zhizunbao cottage. Except for the second master played by Uncle Da, the "blind man" has more roles.

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

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

This is the consistent style of Zhou Xingxing's movies. He uses some exaggerated and spicy eye makeup to impress the audience.

But Qin Muchu was a little dissatisfied.

This kind of thing pays attention to a certain degree. If it is too little, it will not be effective, and if it is too much, it will be counterproductive.

In Qin Muchu's view, their makeup looks a little "too much" now.

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

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

If the styling is not exaggerated, and the bandits are all images from common TV dramas, then the impact of the movie will be a little weaker.

The supporting role of Zhou Xingxing's movie is impressive, and the sharp and unique style definitely takes a lot of credit.

But it’s not okay to be too exaggerated. It can hit the audience’s eyeballs, but it can’t poke the audience’s eyeballs and cause other people’s physical discomfort.

Wu Mengda still has the appearance of a group of bandits, almost half naked, with two spots fully exposed, to the point of nausea.

"No, all the looks have to be changed. With this kind of scale, it's dead if it's released... It's very likely that it won't pass the review."

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

The smile on Zhou Xingxing's face froze instantly.

"Why? I think this look is very good."

"The scale is too big. If it is an art film, it is submitted to a film festival to win an award. This kind of extremely exaggerated appearance may make the judges like it; but this is a commercial film, and the audience is ordinary audiences. Anyone with normal aesthetics will not accept it." Got this look.

In the movie theater, do you expect parents to cover their children's eyes, and boys to cover their girlfriend's eyes to watch this movie? "

Qin Muchu's words made Zhou Xingxing fall into silence.

The looks of all the actors are carefully designed by him, even if there are no extras for the lines, as long as they leave the country, he will carefully design them.

It took so much effort, but was directly denied.

He couldn't accept it a little bit.

Seeing Zhou Xingxing's hesitation, Qin Muchu thought for a while, looked around the room, and found a young prop master in his 20s.

"Pretty boy, come here."

The prop master was still not sure whether to call him, and pointed to himself.

"Yes, it's you."

Qin Muchu nodded.

Only then did the prop master come over quickly, feeling a little apprehensive.

"The actors in the movie all look like this, 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 heard what Qin Muchu said to Zhou Xingxing just now.

One is the director and the other is the producer.

No matter which side he stands on, he is dead.

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

"Just tell the truth, the star guide and I are discussing, not arguing."

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, there is a girlfriend..."

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

"It's a bit too, too... revealing, I probably won't let my girlfriend see it."

Having said that, there is already an answer.

What kind of movie is "A Chinese Journey to the West"?
Journey to the West, mythology, fantasy?
There are all of them, but in fact the most important thing is love. The story is about a love that cannot be loved.

All other factors are just carriers and tools.

Love movies, if couples don't want to watch them, then it's a fart.

But in order to make Zhou Xingxing give up, Qin Muchu asked again:
"Would you watch it by yourself?"

The prop master thought for a while, glanced at Zhou Xingxing, and whispered:
"Well... If other places are interesting, I should go to see them."

The words have been said so tactfully, Zhou Xingxing no longer insists.

He waved his hand to let the prop master leave, and looked at Qin Muchu again:
"How to change it?"

"Be more restrained, you can have special features, but you can't be so strong, otherwise it will take away the theme of the movie."

After speaking, Qin Muchu walked to Wu Mengda and said to the makeup artist:

"Find a worn-out dress."

The make-up artist immediately went to the hanger at the back and took out a patched coarse cloth shirt.

"Brother Da, put on this dress."

"Hey, good."

Without further ado, Wu Mengda took the clothes and prepared to put them on.

Suddenly, he stopped his hand and looked at Zhou Xingxing.

"Wear it."

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

The tone was not very polite, but Wu Mengda knew that Zhou Xingxing was like this when he entered work, and he treated everyone like this, so he didn't take it to heart.

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

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

Then he went straight to it, tightening the loose silk gauze that Wu Mengda was originally wearing, covering his exposed chest.

"Put it on."

Wu Mengda put on coarse cloth clothes over the silk gauze as required, and stood up so that Qin Muchu and Zhou Xingxing could look at him.

Wu Mengda's chest is still exposed now, but the chest is covered with silk gauze, so he can't see clearly.

It's still a show, but it doesn't have such a big sense of impact. It belongs to the category that makes people feel funny but not disgusting.

Zhou Xingxing's eyes lit up, and he also noticed that the current appearance seems to be better than before.

"Tie up his long hair, don't be very delicate, it should be more feminine, but a little nondescript, like... an underage girl imitating her mother's hairstyle for the first time, but she didn't imitate the feeling well, you Do you understand what I mean?" Qin Muchu instructed the makeup artist again.

"I almost understand."

The makeup artist nodded and worked on Wu Mengda's wig. Since Qin Muchu's request was very simple, it was done in a few strokes.

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

"Find a chopstick or branch, insert it in and 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 and was about to walk out of the room.

Wu Mengda waved his hand and said:
"No, there should be chopsticks in the trash can for lunch."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the small trash can next to him and found a pair of chopsticks.

"Give."

He took out a piece of paper from the table, wiped the chopsticks and handed it to the makeup artist, who immediately inserted the chopsticks.

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

"Suppose there is a procession of people passing by, and in this procession there is a man of the highest rank, who is the most splendidly dressed.

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

Whose was the second best dress you got?Second master.

Who among the people who got the second best clothes belonged to?

Women, women's clothes are the most gorgeous.

So the second head wears silk gauze.

The bandits rob everything, and their appearance is to imitate the people who passed by and were robbed by them. As a result, they imitate them, and they appear in the appearance that looks very "exaggerated" and "inappropriate" to the audience. "

Qin Muchu said slowly, as if talking to himself.

Zhou Xingxing on the side opened his mouth unknowingly.

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 took two steps back with vigilance.

"Didn't you 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 it wasn't in the script, he made it up now.

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

It's like adding a scene to the game when you play the game, you must have a complete worldview that can be justified and logical. "

Zhou Xingxing understands the truth, but...

"Do you have to write a biography for clothing styling?"

"You don't need to write, just have it in your heart. Why do the bandits dress like this? You should have an explanation in your heart. According to this 'explainment', your costume design will be appropriate to the character.

There is logic in nonsense, but the logic is different from ordinary people. You should understand this better than me. "

Zhou Xingxing was silent.

The agitated heart that had fantasized about "a piece of fire" gradually calmed down.

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

When I was "half a director", the big framework was controlled by the real director, who only showed his talents in the performance of actors or some plots.

Now he suddenly realizes that he still has many deficiencies in being a real director.

"Some movies on Hong Kong Island are very entertaining. The movies you made before are all good. Watch it and laugh. However, if you talk about it seriously, many details in it are not rigorous enough, and there are contradictions in logic.

Now is not the time when we shoot a movie in one or two weeks and write the script while shooting. "Qin Muchu said.

His film production is fast because he has seen the finished product and has references, but if other directors are also at this speed, it is difficult to guarantee the quality.

If a big production of 5000 million yuan wants to recover the cost, at least the box office should reach 5000 million yuan, but now how many movies in China have broken [-] million yuan?
Zhou Xingxing didn't speak, but he heard the words in his heart.

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

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

"The Bull Demon King?"

The image of a tall and burly monster with a bull's head and a human body holding a fork immediately appeared in Qin Muchu's mind.

It is also the villain BOSS in "A Chinese Journey to the West".

"Isn't it just a leather case? Can you still play with flowers? Have you seen the 86 version of "Journey to the West"? Just follow that image in a rough and savage way." Qin Muchu responded casually.

The monsters in "A Chinese Journey to the West" basically can't see their faces, and they wear a thick leather case, which looks like a real "monster", so you don't need to bother with the design.

"See how it goes."

Zhou Xingxing persisted.

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

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

Qin Muchu could roughly imagine what these clothes would look like on the actor's body, which was similar to the image of the Bull Demon King in his memory.

Then he nodded and said:

"Okay, try it as an actor, if you need to adjust it, you should adjust it, there should be no problem."

"Really?"

Zhou Xingxing had a strange smile on his face, and at the same time made a look at the left and right makeup artists.

Qin Muchu felt something was wrong.

"What?"

"hey-hey."

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

Moreover, compared with Hong Kong Island movies, Qin Muchu has stricter requirements on the logic of movies.
