Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 103 I am the boss of the dressing room
"Chen Cheng, damn, it's you. Congratulations, congratulations."

"Chen Cheng, you really make me jealous and envious."

"Chen Cheng, although I am a little dissatisfied, no matter what, everyone can see your strength. Congratulations."

After the directors' meeting, Chen Cheng was a little dazed.

He still hadn't recovered from the appointment that had just been announced.

It was not until several art assistant directors like Chen Cheng and everyone else left that Chen Cheng came to his senses a little.

Simultaneously.

I was so excited that I wanted to scream out.

But this is a film crew, and Chen Cheng must restrain himself.

Having been in the crew for so long, Chen Cheng knew very well what this step meant to him.

Although he knows.

His current position is still deputy art director and he has not been promoted.

But not getting promoted doesn’t mean not taking a step forward.

Previously, Chen Cheng was the deputy art director. On the one hand, he was taken care of by Director Zhang, but on the other hand, he did not have much real power.

Even though every group wants it, he actually doesn't belong to any group.

but now.

Today's announcement is equivalent to announcing to the crew that Chen Cheng will be the boss of the dressing room of "Curse of the Golden Flower" in the future.

Don't be fooled by the small size of the dressing room.

Almost all actors have to go through the dressing room.

There were even people in the previous life who joked that a certain protagonist had offended the makeup artist, who made his makeup look so ugly.

Although this may not happen.

But this also represents the importance of the dressing room.

Not to mention, this is with a top-notch crew.

"Xiao Wu, go to the makeup department in a few days and help Teacher Xie to do the makeup for the male and female protagonists."

Restraining his excitement, Chen Cheng said to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu thought he had heard it wrong: "Brother Cheng, what did you just say? Who were you setting the makeup for?"

"The hero and heroine."

"Gong Li, Brother Fa?"

"Correct."

"My grass..."

Xiao Wu was shocked and said, "Brother Cheng, you are fooling me."

"If you don't believe it, forget it."

"Brother Cheng, really?"

When Xiao Wu saw Chen Cheng's serious expression, he opened his mouth.

After a while.

Xiao Zhang moved his hands up and down constantly.

He wanted to scream, but the words came to his mouth and he couldn't.

He was trembling all over.

Until Chen Cheng left.

Xiao Wu then shouted out excitedly.

"Da Long, Da Long, come out."

"You know, in a few days, I will be doing makeup for Gong Li and Fa Ge."

"Big dragon, big dragon..."

Although Xiao Wu knew.

Even when it comes to putting on makeup, he is just helping out now.

But for Xiao Wu at the moment, he has surpassed countless makeup artists and art artists.

……

"Chen Cheng, I heard that you are responsible for the makeup of the male and female protagonists of the crew of "Curse of the Golden Flower"."

"Ah."

"Congratulations. When you come back, the company will celebrate for you."

"Brother Hua, what are you celebrating for? I'm just a small art director now. If I celebrate this little thing, everyone will laugh at me if I tell others about it."

"What's so funny? People outside the industry don't know about this business, but we don't know it yet. The makeup room boss of a top crew has to walk sideways if he tells others about it. No, I have to report to the company. I think our contract can go a step further."

"Brother Hua, wait until I'm done here."

"Ok, I'll wait for you to come back."

After hanging up the phone with Brother Hua, Chen Cheng had calmed down.

With great power comes great responsibility.

I left the makeup to myself.

Facing the top crew in the country.

If this film is released in the future, every detail will be seen by everyone in the country.

If you don't do well, even if you take a step forward now, future public opinion may force you to take a few steps back.

This is a double-edged sword.

However, Chen Cheng had been preparing for this for a long time.

Three days later.

"Curse of the Golden Flower" has been promoted to the public and officially started filming.

Same with all the crews.

The filming of "Curse of the Golden Flower" also started in the traditional way, with burning incense, worshiping gods, and cutting off chicken heads, as well as announcing the character makeup to the public.

Finally, we took a symbolic group photo and then had dinner.

But the difference is.

"Curse of the Golden Flower" attracted almost all domestic entertainment media.

No.

It’s not just the showbiz media.

Even CCTV, People's Daily Online, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily... these media were all involved.

Can you imagine how many crews can enjoy such a configuration?

Chen Cheng gets up at 3 o'clock in the morning.

we can even say.

Chen Cheng did not sleep that night and stayed up until 3 a.m.

For today's opening ceremony, he had to arrange all the dressing room staff before 4 a.m.

Everything is ready at 5 o'clock.

At the same time, the makeup of all the main actors had to be completed before 8 o'clock.

of course.

It's not just him.

Everyone in the dressing room was on high alert.

This kind of opportunity doesn't always come.

Not to mention a new makeup artist like Xiao Wu.

Even for some veterans in the industry, it is difficult for them to come across such opportunities.

Just like this top-notch crew, may I ask, how many are there in China in the past few decades?
Judging from the current situation.

The configuration of "Curse of the Golden Flower" is only second to "Hero".

5: in the morning.

Gong Li and Chow Yun-fat also got up early and came to the dressing room.

"Teacher Xie, Teacher Li, Teacher Jiang, Teacher Fu..."

Under Chen Cheng's arrangement, there were a total of 8 makeup artists, corresponding to the 8 main actors.

At the same time, Chen Cheng did not forget Xiao Wu. Seeing Xiao Wu so nervous, Chen Cheng said, "Come on, smile."

Xiao Wu was still very excited: "Brother Cheng, I admire you for being so relaxed in such a big scene."

"Haha, I'm not asking you to go through fire and water, what are you thinking?"

Of course Chen Cheng said this, but Chen Cheng would say, am I more excited than you?

But being in this position, Chen Cheng could only restrain himself.

If Chen Cheng, the boss of the dressing room, can't control himself, what will happen to the entire dressing room?

"Go ahead. Brother Fa may look majestic and domineering in the movies, but he is a nice guy."

Chen Cheng said to Xiao Wu.

As for Gong Li, she is also the type who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Many times, it is not difficult for people to get along with each other.

The reason why you find it difficult to get along with others is that everyone's status is so different.

This is just like what Mr. Lu Xun said, there is such a gap between people.

But that's how it is sometimes.

The status gap in reality may be decisive.

But there is no solution to this problem.

Only when you reach that stage can you truly understand.

Naturally, Chen Cheng couldn't do that either.

But he had to do it for everyone in the dressing room and everyone on the crew to see.

he knows.

Now, his every move is watched by thousands of eyes.

……

7 points.

Under the command of Chen Cheng.

In the dressing room, the makeup of the eight main actors has been completed.

But that's not the end of it.

Makeup is not just about facial makeup, it also includes costumes and props.

If it is an ordinary crew, this part is also simple, just put on the costumes and take the necessary props.

But in "Curse of the Golden Flower", it's different. Whether it's the emperor played by Chow Yun-fat or the queen played by Gong Li, their costumes are not ordinary costumes.

The costume designer designed 8 sets of costumes for the two.

The most important set among them is the golden dragon robe worn by the emperor, Chow Yun-fat.

This was also designed based on Chen Cheng's suggestion.

It is made of gold and weighs more than 40 kilograms.

It took more than 100 craftsmen one month to complete the hand-made work.

So it is not an easy thing to put on this golden dragon robe.

Fortunately, Chen Cheng had rehearsed several times before this, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

8 points.

The 8 main actors have already finished their makeup.

For the sake of publicity and temporary confidentiality, the 8 actors had breakfast in the dressing room.

On the other side, a group of media also arrived early.

The sounds of firecrackers, fireworks... kept appearing.

There was a lot of excitement outside.

Although no one left the dressing room, one could still feel the excitement outside by listening to the noise.

“It’s so lively outside.”

"Yes, I heard that a lot of media, even official media, came."

"Director Zhang is really famous."

"Of course not. We are a top crew. Director Zhang can even be said to be the number one director in China, so it is natural that we have such a prestigious lineup."

Several makeup artists were chatting quietly.

Although they also wanted to go out and watch the fun.

However, Chen Cheng had already ordered that no one could go without orders.

of course.

Chen Cheng was not a rigid person. While waiting, he said to everyone, "Everyone in the crew has their own tasks. Our task is to finalize the makeup. Today's opportunity may determine our lives, or even our fate. Therefore, we cannot make any mistakes."

"Director Chen, we understand."

Everyone nodded, their eyes firm.

……

9 points.

Chen Cheng received the notice and the actors were ready to go on stage.

"Junjie, you're first."

Qin Junjie plays the third prince Yuan Cheng.

He is also the youngest actor in "Curse of the Golden Flower", currently only 15 years old.

Although he is only 15 years old, as soon as Qin Junjie appeared on the stage, all the media exclaimed.

Obviously.

They were shocked by Qin Junjie's elegant temperament.

"good."

Art director "Huo Tingxiao" and costume director "Xi Zhongwen" nodded.

Although they had already seen the previous costume design, they also voted for Chen Cheng.

However, when it was actually shown, the two of them were a little shocked.

"Junjie, what role do you play in the play?"

"Junjie, how did you get selected by Director Zhang?"

"Junjie..."

A group of media quickly surrounded Qin Junjie.

Next is Li Man who plays Jiang Chan.

Chen Cheng's design for Li Man is simple, willful, and petite.

So as soon as Li Man appeared, everyone could feel the character's personality under her makeup.

A well-known film critic nearby asked Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, who is the stylist this time? This is quite impressive."

Although there are only two characters, both of them are extremely vivid.

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "He is a newcomer, you don't know him."

"Newcomer, Director Zhang, you are really talented and brave. I want to get to know you later."

The two were talking and laughing.

The third character appears.

The third person to appear is Doctor Jiang, played by Mr. Ni Dahong.

This is a person who lives a very humble life.

He was just an imperial physician and an insignificant figure in the palace.

But he didn't want to live such an ordinary life.

On the one hand, he was loyal to the emperor, and on the other hand, he was extremely flattering to the prince.

But unfortunately, under the vast imperial power, he never achieved all this until his death.

Chen Cheng's character design is made to be as gloomy as possible, which also highlights his humbleness and scheming.

A group of media reporters also kept pressing the shutter button.

Next up is Jiang, Liu Ye who plays the second prince.

Of course, there is also Prince Jie, the new king of super idol music.

The last two are Gong Li and Chow Yun-fat.

In order to prevent the media from speculating too much about the order of their appearance, Director Zhang arranged for them to appear at the same time.

When the two of them walked out together, the whole scene was completely shocked.

"It's too bright. It's really too bright."

“It’s so bright that I can’t even open my eyes.”

The Golden Armor is just like his name.

The whole film is based on gold and red as the main colors.

This is also reflected in the clothing designs of the two.

Whether it is Chow Yun-fat or Gong Li, both of their costumes are large areas of golden yellow, especially the golden dragon robe that Chow Yun-fat wears.

of course.

The two people's styles are not just reflected in their clothes.

Let’s look at Chow Yun Fat first. He is a man who can give up everything for the sake of royal power.

But this is also an extremely hypocritical emperor.

So he seemed to have some warmth.

But the warmth is only on the surface, deep down he only believes in himself.

Considering Chow Yun Fat’s acting skills.

When Chen Cheng was designing the look for Chow Yun Fat, he did not make too many adjustments to Chow Yun Fat's entire face, but instead focused on Chow Yun Fat's beard.

What Chen Cheng designed here is very interesting.

Chow Yun Fat's beard is black on his upper lip and white on his lower lip.

Such a special design was quickly caught by a group of media reporters.

"This stylist is interesting. This beard is very interesting."

"One is black and the other is white. Does it represent the two sides of the emperor, ice and fire?"

"Haha, that makes me look forward to it."

What shocked everyone even more was Empress Gong Li’s makeup.

Gong Li's aura is not something that ordinary actors possess.

Not to mention, this is the most honored actress in the country to date.

Inlaid on the towering beard is the queen's crown, a symbol of power.

In the middle of the phoenix robe is a pair of proud breasts.

It's not like everyone has never seen the world.

Or.

I have seen peaks that are even more turbulent than these two.

But at this moment, they only felt that the twin peaks were like the highest mountains of mankind, which no one could surpass.

of course.

This is just figurative.

When you look again.

You will find out.

Beneath these two peaks, Gong Li's inner desire for power is just like those two peaks.

……

"Director Zhang, congratulations, really congratulations."

"Director Zhang, I feel this movie will surpass 'Hero'."

Although it hasn’t been released yet.

Don't know what the whole story is.

but.

In the eight important actors designed by Chen Cheng, the media have already felt the language underlying the character design.

This is a technique, but also an art.

Zhang Yi glanced at Chen Cheng intentionally, smiled and said nothing.

Subsequently.

Everything continued according to the established procedure.

The art director and the costume director came to Chen Cheng.

Looking at Chen Cheng who had been silent, Huo Tingxiao patted Chen Cheng and said, "What are you thinking about? You've passed."

"Let's go, let's eat."

talking.

Both of them burst into laughter.
