Hexagonal God

Chapter 19 Model Training
Following Looney to the dressing room, he thought it was just a simple mirror and a dressing table, but he didn't expect there was even a massage bed here.

"Come on, handsome boy, let's do a skin care first. Within three days, I guarantee that all the acne on your face will be gone."

Su Mo was indeed not very satisfied with his skin. Due to puberty, he had some acne on his face. Although there were not many, it still affected his appearance.

Even if he doesn't come here, he plans to go to the beauty salon to take care of his skin these days.

The improvement of appearance cannot rely entirely on the system. At least in the current system, you cannot directly purchase the three attributes of appearance, figure, and strength.

Postnatal maintenance should be started as soon as possible. The lower the basic score, the faster it will improve.

Two beautician girls in nurse uniforms came over and first helped Su Mo wash his face.

Su Mo had washed his face, but in their opinion it was not up to standard.

The facial cleanser used is of the amino acid type. Under the guidance of the young lady, Su Mo needs to constantly massage his face during the washing process.

The focus of massage is the area where there are acne and its surrounding areas.

Massage repeatedly to achieve the effect of activating blood circulation. It took me seven or eight minutes to complete the step of washing my face.

After washing his face, Su Mo lay on the bed. Several shadowless lights were set up around him, making him look very professional.

Looney took out some sterile needles. Although he was a sissy, he was extremely decisive in his actions.

He pricked the pimples on Su Mo's face one by one with a needle, and wearing gloves, squeezed out the mites or dirt inside.

Su Mo felt a slight sting on his face and simply closed his eyes.

After a while, some cool ointment was applied on it.

This time, a nurse helped me apply the cream. Her fingers pressed on it gently, and it felt very comfortable.

After about five minutes, all the affected areas were treated.

"OK, get up. Go back home tonight and rinse with clean water. Two or three times will be basically healed."

Su Mo stood up and looked in the mirror. The affected area was still slightly red and swollen, not much different from before.

After taking a look at the system's rating, I found that my appearance had actually improved a little, reaching 71 points.

"It seems that while the skin is well maintained, there is still room for improvement in appearance."

Because they had just finished acne removal, Looney did not put makeup on Su Mo immediately, but took him back to the hall and handed him over to Zhao Yaru.

Zhao Yaru glanced at Su Mo and said, "Well, do your skincare routine tomorrow and you can put on makeup the day after tomorrow. Today, let's take a look at your expression management and camera performance. I'll tell you the key points."

Zhao Yaru began to explain to Su Mo.

This was the first time Su Mo heard of related knowledge, including expression management, which means that when you shoot something in a certain style, the expression on your face should convey the corresponding style.

A model's facial expression management is actually somewhat similar to that of an actor.

It can be roughly divided into seven types.

Joy, anger, depression, hatred, contempt, pain, and thinking.

Among these seven types, there are some small branches and many small techniques that require a long period of exploration and practice.

A very important point is that your expression should not be depressed.

The first criterion for not failing is that it cannot be ugly, and this requirement is even stricter for models and actors.

Because what models bring to people is always beauty, which is crucial.

Zhao Yaru also told Su Mo many ways to practice, such as practicing in front of a small mirror. The size of the mirror should be such that the entire face can be seen.

When practicing, try to control your muscle expressions to achieve the effect you want, and also pay attention to eye coordination.

When Zhao Yaru was speaking, Su Mo suddenly thought of some classic shots of the actors.

When Hong Kong films were popular, some scenes were deeply rooted in people's minds.

For example, Tony Leung Chiu-wai's smile when he turns around.

For example, Athena Chu’s playful wink.

The reason why it can become a classic is that it is not achieved overnight.

That requires holding a mirror and practicing thousands of times, focusing on the degree of grin, muscle control, blinking amplitude, and the coordination of the entire facial expression. Practice over and over again, and correct countless times. Finally, you can achieve the state of being able to kill gods and Buddhas, and then you can create a classic.

Thinking of this, Su Mo realized that the expression management of models and actors is interconnected.

Immediately ask the system: "Is male modeling a high-paying profession? Is there a threshold?"

[Yes, male modeling is also a high-paying profession. To become an entry-level male model, you must first be recognized by an elite photographer.]

“Is the photographer who took my photo considered elite?”

【Yes. 】

That’s all there is to it, liver!

Zhao Yaru finished her explanation and took a sip of water. "Now let's see your talent. Prepare for ten minutes. After ten minutes, make a melancholy expression. If you do well, you can also try a British-style outfit."

"Then I'll try somewhere where there's no one."

Zhao Yaru nodded and let Su Mo do as he pleased.

Su Mo took a small mirror and went into the corridor.

Su Mo closed his eyes and thought for a while, and what came to his mind was a scene from the movie Lust, Caution.

It was a clip of a warlord smoking, and Tony Leung Chiu-wai silently expressed the melancholy feeling through the camera.

"Expression, lowered eyes, smoking, exhaling..." "He didn't say a word the entire time, but one could clearly sense his depressed mood."

"It's not just the facial expressions that count; it also requires the coordination of the setting and props to make it truly captivating."

Su Mo thought about it, turned on the camera on his mobile phone, put it aside, and then he sat in the corridor.

I bought two boxes of Huazi yesterday. I opened one box, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He tried his best to recall the movie clips, took a puff of cigarette, exhaled, then lowered his eyes, and then slowly opened them again.

Stop, pick up your phone and check.

"No, no, it's quite different. The visual impact isn't strong enough."

Su Mo thought about it and pulled down the collar of his shirt, revealing a little bit of his collarbone.

I took the photo again, but I was still not satisfied.

"Oh right, study scroll."

Su Mo decisively used the learning scroll, and this time, he made his hair a little messy.

"It's still not enough, hmm. It would be better to let the smoke cover it to add a little haziness."

Again.

"It still doesn't work. The look is a little off."

Su Mo closed his eyes and began to empathize with the emotions.

I have to say that he is indeed talented in this area. He recalled the period when his family was broken, his parents were old, and he had accomplished nothing and was powerless.

A feeling of sadness and powerlessness came over me.

I took a puff of the cigarette, feeling helpless.

A puff of smoke brings out the vicissitudes of life.

His eyes were slightly blurred, and the melancholy feeling touched people's hearts.

Repeat more than ten times.

Su Mo stood up and returned to the hall.

"Xiao Su is ready, you choose a background."

There were many background walls for filming around, but Su Mo came to a corner and sat down directly there: "This is it."

When Zhao Yaru saw Su Mo's choice, her eyes lit up.

This kind of narrow and disgusting environment does make it easier for negative emotions to manifest.

This boy has something.

The other models and staff around stopped working and prepared to see how this newcomer performed.

"Okay, let's shoot a segment first. When I say start, just make an expression."

"ready, go!"

The elite photographer began shooting.

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Mo lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

In the dim light in the corner, he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

Smoke swirled in front of his eyes, making them hazy.

Everything in that corner seemed unreal. A glance fell on his neck and chest, revealing a bit of his collarbone, which was surprisingly damn sexy.

Zhao Yaru swallowed unconsciously, then felt out of control. She glanced around guiltily and found that there were five or six people making similar movements as her, and most of them were girls.

And Looney, well, he's half girl too.

Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

He sighed softly and leaned back, conveying a decadent and helpless mood.

His eyelids slowly dropped.

He didn't say a word the whole time, but the feeling of powerlessness, helplessness, melancholy and inability to express it to others was fully expressed.

Just like what a poem says, when I was young I didn’t know the taste of sorrow, so I forced myself to be sad in order to write new poems. But now I know the taste of sorrow, and I want to express it but I can’t.

It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

At this moment, Zhao Yaru had already thought about what the film would be like.

A dim space, a lonely teenager, paired with traditional dull British clothing. The smoking process must be cut in, and then the trademark shot is put in, and the advantage of the teenager's long legs is reflected, and then matched with some high-sounding narration, this is a classic finished advertisement.

She tried hard not to clap, but Looney next to her couldn't control himself.

"Honey! Very good! Your performance was amazing, my sweetheart. I can't believe it was your first time performing. You were born for commercials!"

"Go prepare my Lancome men's skincare set. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will take your skin to the next level!"

The photographer over there also said excitedly: "The shooting was very successful. This is a great promotional video."

Hearing the praise from Looney and the photographer, Su Mo also smiled.

He deserves to be laughed at because just one performance has made him a new career.
