Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 85 Makeup
Now An Xiaoqian has undergone a month of closed martial arts training, during which Hu Xiaobei carefully customized a training plan for her.

My physical condition is much better than a month ago, and I don’t have any altitude sickness.

It’s just that Big Beard likes to shoot water scenes, but some things are unavoidable, and this is also the price that must be borne and paid for filming.

In previous years, the average temperature in Jiuzhaigou in October was between 4℃ and 15℃, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and the temperature in the morning and night may drop below 0℃.

Fortunately, compared to September, the weather is mostly sunny, but there will be occasional light rain or snow.

It started snowing early in Jiuzhaigou in October this year, so the temperature was quite cold.

The main creative staff had just checked into Jiuzhaigou yesterday, and Yu Minjie took Da Hu Zi to go to the Ganhaizi scenic spot in Jiuzhaigou Paradise Scenic Area to see the exterior scenes.

Even though they have a break today, the main actors still have plenty of time to relax.

Although the makeup and styling have already been decided, tomorrow is the official start day, so it still needs some detailed polishing.

Yang Guo’s makeup is simple, but Xiaolongnu’s is different. She needs to create a feeling of white clothes as white as snow and fairy-like air.

In the spacious and bright dressing room, An Xiaoqian sat upright in a comfortable chair, looking elegant and relaxed.

Her eyes were slightly narrowed, as if she was enjoying this moment of tranquility.

The actors around them sat like puppets, and the makeup crew was busy moving around.

Various makeup tools sparkled with metallic luster under the light and were neatly arranged. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of cosmetics. It was a busy scene.

Makeup artist Wu Ling is also an old acquaintance. As early as when filming Tian Long, she was responsible for doing Wang Yuyan's makeup.

At this moment, she stood upright in front of An Xiaoqian, her eyes showing concentration and professionalism.

She gently stretched out her hand, gently lifted An Xiaoqian's chin, carefully looked at An Xiaoqian's facial features, nodded slightly, as if she already had a blueprint for the makeup in her mind.

She whispered, "Xixi, you are naturally beautiful, and your appearance and temperament are very consistent with the image of Xiaolongnu.

However, we still need to work on the makeup details to highlight the cool and ethereal feeling."

As she spoke, Wu Ling stretched out her slender fingers and picked up the colorful eyeshadow palette.

With a determined gaze, she quickly selected the colors and began to carefully apply eye makeup for An Xiaoqian.

Her technique was as skillful as an artist creating a painting. The eyeshadow brush danced nimbly in her hand as she applied the shadows meticulously and explained patiently.

"This eye makeup is of utmost importance. I have to mix six colors to accurately create that unique feeling of coolness and otherworldliness, so that your eyes can be filled with the charm of Little Dragon Girl."

Hu Xiaobei kept his spiritual perception ability activated and stood by quietly memorizing and learning.

His eyes sparkled with a desire for knowledge, and he would occasionally interrupt, "Sister Wu, your makeup skills are simply perfect.

When I was at Beijing Film Academy, I learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, but when I saw you actually doing it, I realized that there was a huge gap between theory and practice.

"Makeup is truly a profound and profound art," Hu Xiaobei exclaimed sincerely, his face full of admiration.

Wu Ling was naturally very happy to receive praise from the top genius.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a friendly smile: "Advisor, when it comes to makeup, you can't just rely on theory on paper, you have to practice it.

I have reached my current level thanks to the experience I have accumulated over many years of hard work in this industry and a lot of practice day after day.

Of course, if a genius like you wants to learn, it certainly won’t take long.

Look at Xixi's lip shape, her upper lip is a little thicker." As she spoke, she picked up the makeup brush and gently dipped it into the concealer.

Then, with his eyes fixed on An Xiaoqian's lips, he began to carefully apply the product to the edge of her upper lip, muttering to himself, "I need to use some skills here to subtly weaken part of the upper lip."

This is the only way to create that delicate and charming cherry mouth, which is more in line with the image of Little Dragon Girl."

An Xiaoqian looked at Hu Xiaobei's face full of curiosity, pouted slightly, and said with a hint of worry in her eyes, "Sister Wu, you should teach him less about makeup. I'm a little scared."

Wu Ling stopped what she was doing, patted An Xiaoqian's shoulder gently, and said with a kind smile, "Xixi, don't worry.

You have to trust my years of craftsmanship, and you’ll know how stunning it will be once I’m done with your makeup.”

An Xiaoqian blinked her innocent eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and said timidly, "Sister Wu, it's not that I'm worried about your skills, I'm worried that he'll use me to practice his skills..."

Wu Ling was slightly surprised when she heard this and turned her gaze to Hu Xiaobei who was smiling appropriately.

From previous conversations, she already knew that the other party had a solid theoretical foundation, but she didn't expect that he actually planned to use the heroine to practice.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to explain or not, so she could only put on makeup silently.

But if Hu Xiaobei asked any questions, she would still answer them, but the makeup tools in her hands did not stop, still dancing methodically on An Xiaoqian's face.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wu Ling was always busy and focused.

In this kind of weather, beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, but she was completely unaware.

Finally, she put down the tools in her hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She looked at An Xiaoqian and said, "Okay, Xixi, you can open your eyes and take a look."

An Xiaoqian slowly opened her bright big eyes and looked straight at herself in the mirror.

The person in the mirror was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with just the right amount of elegant and delicate makeup.

Her long, smooth hair falls on her shoulders like a waterfall, and she looks like a fairy walking out of a painting, exuding an otherworldly and ethereal charm.

Although I have done Xiaolongnu makeup several times, this is the first time I have done it to this level of exquisiteness.

An Xiaoqian couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of surprise and admiration: "Sister Wu, you are amazing! Compared with the last time, the makeup is much more refined. I can feel the obvious difference!"

Hu Xiaobei, who had been watching and learning, also came to his senses at this moment and nodded in praise: "Sister Wu, if your makeup skills were placed in ancient times, they would definitely be the top-notch disguise technique, which can simply turn decay into magic."

Upon hearing this, An Xiaoqian turned her head to the side, pouted her lips slightly, and glared at him with her wide-open eyes, a hint of playfulness and anger in her eyes.

That cute and fierce little look matches Xiaolongnu's extraordinary makeup.

Hu Xiaobei's heart trembled at the sight, and he quickly lost the battle and took a small step back unconsciously.

When An Xiaoqian saw that he was defeated, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth with pride, and felt inexplicably...very pleased in her heart.

Ever since they became familiar with each other, she rarely saw Hu Xiaobei like this. Thinking about it, she missed him a little!

Once the headgear was adjusted for An Xiaoqian, Xiaolongnu's makeup was completely completed.

At this time, the surrounding actors and makeup artists also cast their gazes over.

Some people were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a fairy descend to earth, and were stunned by this extraordinary and otherworldly posture.

Some people praise it endlessly, but they are short of words and can only say words like "wow" and "beautiful", but they can hardly express the shock in their hearts.

Others watched and thought carefully, their brows slightly furrowed, their eyes filled with thought.
