This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 44 Blood Pressure High

Xu Feng looked through the thin page of lines and simple character settings in his hand seriously, then walked to the cloakroom and changed into the prop costume.

After changing his clothes, the male lead brought Xu Feng a few videos and explained to him briefly which specific part of the shot the director was not satisfied with and how it should be improved.

Real skills cannot be taught, but these basic knowledge can at least allow a newcomer who knows nothing to get started as quickly as possible.

Director Song doesn't seem to have much hope for this shot. As long as it doesn't go out of character, it will probably pass.

After saying that, he even laughed and said, "Teacher Xu Feng, don't be scared. Relax a little. The more relaxed and devoted you are when playing this kind of role, the more natural it will be."

"We are looking forward to Mr. Xu Feng's performance!"

"What are you afraid of? I was laughed at the first time I acted. I wanted to bury my face in the ground."

"Imagine that the high-spirited teacher Xu Feng got humiliated. Why do I suddenly feel so good?"

"..."

There were both encouraging and teasing voices outside, but no matter what kind of performance they expressed, their attitudes were surprisingly consistent - it was basically unlikely that Xu Feng could perform this scene to the director's satisfaction.

Song Shi glanced at Xu Feng's outfit, nodded slightly, turned around and called the makeup artist over: "Shen Chan, go help Xu Feng with some simple makeup."

He didn't give too many instructions on how to put on makeup, and it was obvious that he trusted the makeup artist's skills very much.

A woman yawned and walked out of a nearby temporary dressing room. When she saw Xu Feng, her eyes lit up.

The makeup artist has heavy makeup on her face, with standard big blonde waves, but she doesn't look glamorous at all. She has obvious perfume on her body, but it doesn't make people dizzy. From a sensory point of view alone, she gives people a very professional impression.

She greeted Xu Feng enthusiastically: "Is this handsome guy going to put on makeup? Come here, come here!"

Song Shi's eyelids jumped, and he reminded: "He is just a guest coffee shop clerk, you should restrain yourself and don't mess around."

The makeup artist was very regretful: "Oh! How could this happen? It's such a pity to waste such a good embryo."

In order to avoid being out of character, she might even have to do reverse makeup on Xu Feng - a person who works as a clerk in a coffee shop cannot be too glamorous, and even needs to look a little dusty.

The characters who fled famine for more than ten days but didn't even have their makeup on were too disgusting. This kind of behavior, which only emphasizes the appearance of the characters without paying any attention to the plot itself, would be resolutely avoided in the crew of Song Shi.

Moreover, if Xu Feng's appearance and temperament are not handled a little bit, it would be easy for her to steal the spotlight from the male or even female lead.

Of course, after all, they are service staff, so their face and clothes still need to be relatively neat.

She brought Xu Feng into the small room, admired his face wantonly, and said with emotion: "It's more comfortable to put makeup on a face like this, handsome guy, you don't know what many celebrities who look like great beauties on TV are like in real life! A face like yours that doesn't require much effort to achieve a perfect makeup effect... Tsk tsk!"

While talking, she picked up the makeup tools and began to carefully polish Xu Feng's face.

Xu Feng listened to the chatterbox makeup artist's ramblings expressionlessly and reminded him, "Director Song is still waiting to film."

"You are born with good looks. You just need a little icing on the cake. It won't take much time." The makeup artist sighed with satisfaction. "To be honest, your face looks even better than on camera."

Xu Feng resisted the drowsiness that was rising up for some unknown reason, and responded perfunctorily: "Hmm..."

During the entire makeup process, the makeup artist never stopped talking.

Only when her makeup was almost done did she reluctantly put down the tools in her hands.

Seeing that Xu Feng seemed a little impatient to contribute his acting skills that would definitely be laughed at on the set, the makeup artist felt sorry and reluctant, and said one more sentence: "By the way, I have a model-related resource over there, and I think you are very suitable. Are you interested? I will take you to learn more after get off work. If you can become famous there, the benefits will be..."

Xu Feng stopped and said seriously: "Okay, if you need it, just come to me with a quote later. The final effect will definitely be worth the price you offer."

But now he has another order on hand and must complete it quickly, otherwise it would be irresponsible to his employer.

If after-sales service is not included, then the entire commission must be completed with value for money. After saying that, Xu Feng turned around and left the dressing room, leaving the confused woman standing there in a daze, as if she had never expected to get such a reply.

After a long while, her voice became a little louder due to anger, and she couldn't help but laugh with her eyes wide open: "I really should record this conversation and let others hear what it means to speak incoherently! I provide you with resources, and then I also pay you to go, right?"

"Look at what you said, the final effect must be worth the price...Brother, this is a resource in the modeling field. Do you think you would deliberately make yourself ugly because I paid you too little?!"

Weird and funny!

After taking two breaths, the makeup artist pinched her own temples to lower her blood pressure.

"I suddenly feel that this guy might be able to play the role of this annoying clerk..."

"..."

……

After leaving the dressing room, Song Shi glanced at Xu Feng and nodded in satisfaction with this image: "Do you remember the lines? Don't forget them when you go on stage."

Xu Feng checked his temporary abilities and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Director Song. I can recite it by heart."

Not far ahead was the shooting location that had been converted into a coffee shop. All the other actors were already in place, just waiting for Xu Feng to come up.

Because of this small episode, the atmosphere in the crew has returned to normal - even though everyone is not optimistic about Xu Feng's acting skills.

Director Song nodded again: "Okay, be more natural and relaxed, don't be too deliberate. The more deliberate you are, the more distracting you will be in the end."

The male lead Liu Haoyuan, who was already in place, nodded to Xu Feng and laughed, "Tsk tsk, the famous teacher Xu Feng is here to play the villain, awesome! Then I won't be polite later, teacher Xu Feng, please don't blame me."

Although he is not as handsome as Xu Feng, not as famous as Xu Feng, and not as talented as Xu Feng... but at least he can still be a little proud of his acting skills.

Moreover, a Xu Feng who is not so perfect is more down-to-earth.

Hearing that Xu Feng was going to perform, many curious student actors gathered around the set.

Song Shi stood in the distance. Seeing that all the actors were in place, he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "Everyone keep quiet! Scene 113, shot 7, time 16, start."

As soon as the voice disappeared, Liu Haoyuan, Yan Wei and a supporting male character walked into the cafe with different expressions.

Different expressions also correspond to the different personalities of the characters they play.

Yan Wei had a cold face, not at all the cute and adorable look she had off the court. She said coldly, "They are bullying me like this, we can't just let it go."

"Can we beat them? They have won the national championship for three consecutive years."

"To boost their morale!" Liu Haoyuan's expression was calm and steady. "Buy a cup of coffee first, and we'll discuss countermeasures. If an enemy comes, we'll fight him with our troops and if a flood comes, we'll block it with earth."

As he spoke, Liu Haoyuan walked to the counter, pointed to the three cups on the table that were used to display the capacity of coffee cups, and said to the clerk, Xu Feng: "Give me three cups of iced Americano, this medium cup."

After Liu Haoyuan finished his lines, he forced himself to suppress his curiosity and looked into Xu Feng's eyes.

He was looking forward to seeing how good Xu Feng's acting skills would be.

　Chu Le was just about to make his debut when a top-tier counterattack system suddenly popped up.

　　[The collapsed house counterattack system has been successfully bound. Host, in this period between thirty and forty, do you have the courage to start a counterattack in your life?]

　　???

　　Chu Le was completely confused by this. No, I’m only 20 years old, how could my reputation collapse already?
