Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 27: Filming right away: Zhao Kuangyin
Now that there is time, Zhang Yang doesn't mind teaching Na Zha a lesson.

"In this circle, you either have to be famous enough, have a high level of experience, or have a good background and money."

"If you don't have these, you can just wait for your seniority and the opportunity to become famous, or succumb to the unspoken rules in exchange for opportunities and background."

"Although I am a Tangren artist, I am not taken seriously. Otherwise, even my agent would not come to the crew to report. And those stage managers and script supervisors are the best at judging people and treating them differently."

"Think about it carefully. When we were in the crew of Masters, it was Old Hu who led us to visit the director, producer, Dong Xuan and Qiu Ze. But they were not enthusiastic about us. They just gave face to Hu Ge."

"Qi Wei and Tang Yan get along well because I have a relationship with them. We can be considered friends."

"But in this crew, I am just an 18th-tier actor who is not popular and not valued by Tangren."

"No one has ever given us any trouble or given us any cold shoulder, and that's because we are artists from a big company."

“It’s okay to visit the director and the lead actor, but you have to be selective about timing, you can’t just come up and do it.”

"."

Since he has accepted the task, Zhang Yang will complete it diligently and responsibly.

The film crew is like a workplace, even more complicated than an ordinary workplace, and full of intrigue.

"In the crew, you should talk less and do more, listen more, watch more, and think more." Zhang Yang reminded.

"Oh." Naza looked thoughtful.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the dressing room.

A mature woman with an appearance score of 80 pushed the door and walked in, with a bit of impatience on her face and yawning.

It's obvious that he was called up to work while taking a nap, so his mood must not be very good.

"Hello sister, I'm going to trouble you next." Zhang Yang stood up and stepped forward to greet her immediately.

In the crew, makeup artists are the type of people you should never offend.

If someone is unhappy with you, they will deliberately put makeup on you that exposes your flaws, and then when the show is broadcast and the audience laughs at you, you won't even have a place to cry.

"It's okay. It's all part of our job." Don't hit a smiling person. Besides, Zhang Yang is a handsome guy. The makeup artist's bad mood immediately dissipated.

"What's your name, sister?" Zhang Yang took out a small red envelope that he had prepared in advance and handed it over.

The makeup artist's irritability immediately dissipated, and she was glad that she got a good job. She reached out to take the red envelope and said, "Don't be so polite. Just call me Sister Sun."

"Okay, Sister Sun, I see that you are only a few years older than me. To be able to work as a makeup artist in the crew of The Empress of China, you must be very talented." Zhang Yang showed a relieved expression.

Nazar:?
This woman looks to be almost thirty years old.

"You guessed wrong." Sister Sun couldn't suppress her smile and said, "I'm already 33."

"Is this true?" Zhang Yang stared at Sister Sun's face seriously, shook his head and sighed: "I really can't tell, do you have any exclusive beauty secrets?"

"I don't usually take care of myself, maybe it's because I look okay with makeup." Sister Sun said with a smile.

"That's great." Zhang Yang smiled: "I'm so lucky."

Sister Sun was very pleased to hear this and looked Zhang Yang up and down: "Do you have your own understanding of the role you are going to play? What kind of style do you want?"

The eyes of the man next to him lit up, and he said to himself, "I got it."

According to what Zhang Yang told her on the way, most crews will pay attention to details, and only some major roles or roles played by big-name people will undergo character design.

For supporting roles and extras, the makeup and styling are fine as long as they can cope with the task. Sometimes they are even treated as green leaves to set off red flowers, and are deliberately designed to be ugly.

Sister Sun now asks Zhang Yang what kind of feeling she wants, which means she can design the character makeup for him.

It is obviously a good deal to exchange such a benefit for a small red envelope and a few nice words.

"Sister Sun, I do have some ideas of my own." Zhang Yang didn't bother to be polite with Sister Sun at this time: "I play the role of Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Song Dynasty among the Tang and Song dynasties. He is a great man of his generation, with great military exploits, and he rode his horse all over the world to govern the country."

“The story is relatively early in time, and I hope to be a heroic and domineering type, but also elegant.” Based on his appearance, Zhang Yang felt that he could be designed to look like the young general in a white robe, Zhao Zilong.

"I understand. Let's get a feel for it first, and then finalize it if there's any problem. We can modify it if we feel it's not good." Sister Sun asked Zhang Yang to sit down, took out the food stuff and started tinkering with it.

First put a hood on Zhang Yang, and then find a suitable wig to wear, which matches his handsome looks and gives people the feeling of a young master.

Zhang Yang closed his eyes and would chat with Sister Sun from time to time. He paid great attention to propriety and rhythm, and spoke very humorously.

After a while, Sister Sun revealed a lot of gossip circulating in the crew, such as that Lin Ziwei and Huo Jianhua had an ambiguous relationship, Yan Yikuan and Huo Jianhua seemed to be at odds and were trying to show off, Deputy Director Liu was sent by Hunan Satellite TV, and a certain stagehand was the director's brother-in-law.

Most people just listened to the news, but for Zhang Yang, who would be filming in the crew for a while, these were very important information that could help him avoid offending others invisibly.

"I've learned something new." Nazha admired Zhang Yang even more.

She thought Zhang Yang was trying to get along with Sister Sun just to get a better character design and makeup, but she didn't expect to find out so much information in the subsequent chat.

For example, the news that Yan Yikuan and Huo Jianhua are not getting along is very important.

Zhang Yang is a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and she can use this identity to build relationships with the male lead, Yan Yikuan, her senior.

Zhang Yang has some friendship with Huo Jianhua, so he can also try to build a relationship with him and make friends with Lin Ziwei at the same time.

But Yan Yikuan and Huo Jianhua don't get along, so the idea of building a relationship with them needs to be thought through carefully before doing so.

"Talk less and do more. Listen more, watch more and think more." Naza kept these words in mind.

Zhang Yang had no idea what Nazha was thinking, and continued to try to get the information he wanted from Sister Sun.

About half an hour later, Sister Sun nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."

Zhang Yang opened his eyes and saw a different self in the mirror.

The pale skin turns into a light bronze color, becoming healthy and masculine.

I put a lot of effort into making the eyebrows thicker, giving them a spirited look, and I also did some work on the neck to make the jawline more defined.

Simply put, the facial features highlight a toughness that conceals Zhang Yang's handsome beauty and adds a bit of heroism, turning him from a pretty boy into a half-tough guy, and from an elegant scholar into a young general.

"What do you think?" Zhang Yang suddenly looked at Naza.

Naza hid his phone and looked away instinctively: "Super handsome."

Zhang Yang smiled at Sister Sun: "Even a new assistant like me thinks you are good. Sister Sun, your skills are really amazing."

Sister Sun showed a bit of complacency on her face: "My skills are second to none in the crew. I don't think the exclusive makeup artists of the leading actors are that great."

"Ayang, you are lucky. This drama is about to be finished. Many actors have finished filming and are leaving the crew, so the makeup artist in the art group left me behind."

Zhang Yang also felt that she was lucky, as Sister Sun’s makeup skills were indeed top-notch.

There is no need to try again, just set your makeup.

Another half an hour or so passed before his makeup was completely finalized and he changed into the costumes prepared by the crew.

After the makeup and styling were done, Zhang Yang immediately found the script supervisor and coordinator. When they saw his appearance, there was obvious surprise on their faces and their attitude towards them was also very good.

The coordinator brought him directly to the director. The afternoon scene had already started shooting and now was a break time. Several main creators happened to be there for the shoot today.

When they heard that Zhang Yang was the actor who played Zhao Kuangyin, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"In terms of image, it's better than the previous one." Director Liang Xinquan was satisfied.

The connections sent over from the Tang people are at least not completely useless.

But he was also a bit troubled because Zhang Yang's good image might lead to a result.
Just at this moment, Lin Ziwei's voice rang in his ears: "Director, let this actor shoot the scene with me first to test his acting skills."

Liang Xinquan: “.”

Are you trying out your acting skills?
