Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 296
After putting on makeup, Chen Nian was very satisfied with An Hongdou's makeup.

"Come, come, take a photo for me." An Hongdou looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but feel very moved.

She used to think that people who said that were either narcissistic, or they were setting up and putting on a show, but she finally realized this feeling today, and it turned out that she was really moved by looking at herself.

She herself likes traditional Chinese culture very much, but when she chose her major, her parents also made some suggestions. After all, it is not easy to find a job in the future after studying opera.

Of course, it is not with the attitude that you have to listen to us. After listening to An Hongdou, she felt that it made sense, so she learned vocal music in college.

And now she is also very grateful for her choice at the beginning. If she studies opera by herself now, of course it is impossible to have such freedom.

Although Chen Nian does not have much experience in taking pictures, at least this job can be done. He took five or six pictures in a snap. After looking at it, Chen Nian was very satisfied. After handing it to An Hongdou, An Hongdou But he frowned after reading it.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the other party's expression, Chen Nian felt that An Hongdou seemed dissatisfied.

"It's nothing. At first I thought you knew everything, but now it seems that there are things you don't know well. I'll go back and fix these photos."

An Hongdou and Chen Nian have also known each other for a long time, so she naturally knows what Chen Nian's personality is, so she knows that what she said will not make Chen Nian unhappy.

And Chen Nian didn't feel that I took all the pictures for you, but you still have to talk about it now, on the contrary, he felt that this way of speaking directly was very comfortable: "I will study hard when I go back. "

After hearing this, An Hongdou pursed her lips and laughed.

Not long after, Director Zhang came over with his assistant, but his eyes were straightened as soon as he entered the door. He was not on the scene during the last fitting, and he heard from Mr. Liu and the staff who were on the scene that time, Chen Nian's make-up is very good. He didn't believe it at first, but now he completely believes it.

"It's amazing! It's exactly the same! I saw it once when I was filming a documentary, and later I specially made a photo of that actor into a poster and hung it at home for a long time." Director Zhang exclaimed.

"And now it is said that people who know how to do this kind of makeup must be at least 70 years old. Mr. Chen, isn't your family really from the Liyuan family?"

Chen Nian waved his hand: "Director Zhang is too polite, my family was considered a scholarly family three generations ago, but in my father's generation, it must be a Caixiang family."

Zhang Fangyuan didn't hear anything after hearing it, but he didn't ask what is Caixiang Family. In many cases when chatting, we might not understand what the other party is saying, but even if we don't understand, it doesn't matter. It does not hinder the chat, so sometimes it is skipped.

"It seems that Mr. Chen really understands, so let's start changing Hongdou's clothes now, just change to the set of the Republic of China. You should also have a copy of the script for shooting the video, Hongdou, so we will start shooting at that time. If If there is something inappropriate, we will temporarily modify it."

"And Mr. Chen, you are also preparing to put on makeup. Hongdou will shoot and familiarize herself with her part first. When you are ready, we will shoot together. What do you think?"

"No problem." Chen Nian nodded and said.

Afterwards, An Hongdou went next door with them to change clothes, while Chen Nian put on makeup here alone. Chen Nian had learned about makeup in advance. He was called this time to be a guest actor in addition to makeup work.

In addition to modern times, this commercial also includes the Republic of China and ancient times, but in the current script, An Hongdou acts and sings the modern drama alone, but in the Republic of China and ancient times, it is Chen Nian and An Hongdou. Duet.

The song Wensi Tofu has two perspectives.

So Chen Nian painted himself Xiaosheng's makeup, and since they had to shoot an ancient movie first, Chen Nian painted himself the ancient makeup.

I was a little nervous when I painted An Hongdou, but Chen Nian didn’t feel that way when I painted for myself. It took more than an hour to make up An Hongdou, but Chen Nian did it in only four to 10 minutes before and after applying makeup to myself. After that, he went to the fitting room on the other side and got dressed before contacting the assistant.

Then the assistant came up to take a look, and was immediately amazed. Chen Nian's Xiaosheng at this time was completely dressed like a scholar. Although his face was also smeared with rouge and watercolor, the overall lines were tougher than An Hongdou's face. Coupled with Chen Nian's already very beautiful facial features, the assistant felt that with Chen Nian's appearance, it is by no means impossible to enter the entertainment industry with this commercial.

Mr. Liu is also ambitious. The reason why he spends so much money and time to make such a film must not be because of pure hobbies. Although he really likes these things, businessmen are originally interested in profits.

He wants to publicize this short film and make it a phenomenon-level hit. He knows what young people like today, and he also knows how to promote it.

So as long as Chen Nian shines in this film, there will definitely be other invitations in the future.

The assistant has been in this industry for many years, so he is very clear that sometimes some people in the entertainment industry can become popular all because of luck, of course, it is better if they have the ability.

In the end, he brought Chen Nian to the set, where An Hongdou was filming at the moment, and Zhang Fangyuan was holding a walkie-talkie, holding it up to say something from time to time.

At the beginning, An Hongdou just stood nearby and looked at Zhang Fangyuan. Although he also saw Chen Nian from the corner of his eye, it was naturally impossible to say hello to Chen Nian at the moment of filming.

But during the acting, Director Zhang suddenly felt dissatisfied looking at the small screen.

"Red bean, wait a moment."

"It's that when you are singing, there may be some problems with your movements, that is, it is not soft enough. You are playing Huadan now, and you are very good at singing and dancing, so you have to express that feeling."

But when An Hongdou heard this, she felt a little embarrassed.

There is nothing wrong with asking her to sing and write songs, but when it comes to dancing, she is really not very good at it. Because she is usually careless, it is difficult to correct many habits at the moment.

Zhang Fangyuan saw that An Hongdou was in trouble, and he himself was also in trouble. To be honest, he knew what kind of feeling he wanted, but he just couldn't express it. Let him demonstrate. He is a big man, and his body is strong. I can't even act out that feeling.

At this moment, he suddenly looked at Chen Nian.

Because the makeup Chen Nian put on before was perfect, and her understanding of Kunqu opera was also very good, so Zhang Fangyuan felt that Chen Nian must have been born in a Liyuan family. I didn't understand it either, it was just another branch of Kunqu Opera.

Moreover, Mr. Liu brought Chen Nian here. At that time, Mr. Liu did not tell Zhang Fangyuan that Chen Nian was actually a chef. After all, he also knew that these directors have a slightly worse temper, and after a long time in this line of work, they will become No patience.

As far as Zhang Fangyuan was concerned, he only knew that Liu Qingsong had brought Chen Nian here, and that it wasn't enough for a recent gold-plated vase, so he didn't ask much.

In addition, Chen Nian had convinced Zhang Fangyuan before, so Zhang Fangyuan felt that Chen Nian must understand this, after all, he had been exposed to it since he was a child.

"Teacher Chen, come and help me!"

Although he was also very amazed by the makeup on Chen Nian's face, but now he doesn't bother to praise and praise, the progress of the shooting is more important.

As Chen Nian approached, Zhang Fangyuan told the story again.

Only then did Chen Nian realize what was wrong.

Chen Nian is naturally very clear about what kind of movements Hua Dan should have. When he was in the Chunyu class, he went to see Kunqu opera every day, and he was surrounded by a group of famous actors of Kunqu opera, so Chen Nian practiced by himself Sometimes it is also a mixture of various exercises.

The only problem is that Chen Nian is a little bit shy. After all, he is in front of so many people, and there are so many cameras watching him.

But, Chen Nian thought about it again.

There is no way to procrastinate like this.

If you can't finish the filming within the planned time, won't you be unable to go back?

Although this time I came out to make money, but I can't do this all the time.

I still have a main business, and Chen Nian promised an old customer to have a birthday banquet before the closing of the Honghong Restaurant. Although I don't know if the other party will be here at that time, at least I can't lose the chain here.

So Chen Nian thought about the actions of those famous actors and actresses in the Chunyu class back then.

I thought about the lyrics of Huadan's plot in the song Wensi Tofu, and then started to move while humming.

The sleeves flicked, the waist twisted, Pingting gracefully swayed like a willow branch, coupled with her expression and eyes, An Hongdou couldn't help opening her mouth.

If you get closer, you can definitely hear the sound of An Hongdou exhaling like blue.

"Fuck!"

After performing for a while, with applause from all around, Chen Nian immediately stopped his movements, his whole face was blushing, if it wasn't for the thick makeup covering it, Chen Nian would have collapsed on the spot.

"Wonderful! Just like this!"

"Hongdou, just do what Teacher Chen does."

Zhang Fangyuan trotted back to his director's pony while talking.

An Hongdou's mind kept replaying the actions that had just been aged. Following Zhang Fangyuan's action, An Hongdou's body began to dance along with it.

But just after jumping twice Zhang Fangyuan shook his head and called Ka.

"How about we do this, Teacher Chen is here, Hongdou you will follow over there, let's get familiar with these movements first, and the rest should be relatively simple."

Zhang Fangyuan suggested.

Then the two nodded, Chen Nian stood in the blind spot on the side of the camera, and An Hongdou repeated Chen Nian's movements.

But after dancing a few times, Zhang Fangyuan called him a card again.

It can't go on like this.

If things go on like this, they won't be able to line up today. The girl An Hongdou is indeed very talented. She writes songs well, and she sings well. Her voice is very recognizable, but she doesn't have any talent in dancing.

If it is said that in terms of music creation, she is a gift from God, but in terms of dance, it can only be said that even the wild dogs on the roadside are distressed and embarrassed to grab this bowl of food from her.

But right now he has no better way, he can only let Chen Nian teach An Hongdou first.

He asked the staff to go to rest for a while.

Chen Nian got to the side with An Hongdou and started the teaching mode.

As for Zhang Fangyuan, he dialed Liu Qingsong's phone worriedly: "Mr. Liu, we encountered some problems in the filming here, that is, Hongdou is really not strong in dancing. Not much, you just need to stand there and sing, so I didn't notice this problem at the time.

, but now if she can’t learn her body movements for a while, then our shooting progress will be delayed, or we will give up these, and the shooting will be simpler, but the overall beauty and integrity will be poor. a lot of.Mr. Liu, you want to make this a phenomenon, but the effect will be much worse. "

Liu Qingsong did not make a decision after listening on the other end of the phone, but asked after thinking about it: "How about old age?"

"Ms. Chen performed very well and is very professional. Since I couldn't think of any solution before, now I can only ask Mr. Chen to teach Hongdou first and see if he can teach it. If I can't teach it, I will think of other things as soon as possible. The method, or the one I mentioned above." Zhang Fangyuan said.

But Liu Qingsong suddenly discovered the key point: "You mean Chen Nian is teaching An Hongdou now?"

"Yes, Teacher Chen is very professional."

Liu Qingsong pondered for a moment: "I have an idea here. Since Chen Nian understands Kunqu opera better and can perform Huadan, what do you think about letting him play Huadan? I have heard him sing Kunqu opera before, and he just sang it. The part of Hua Dan is only in the video, but after watching that video, I decided to hire Chen Nian. As for Xiao Sheng, Hong Dou will act.

Anyway, it's not uncommon for a woman to disguise herself as a man. Didn't Xu Xian in The Legend of the White Snake pretend to be a man?Everyone can accept it. "

When Zhang Fangyuan heard this, he suddenly realized on the spot!

"Yes, Mr. Liu! Why didn't I think of this?"

"I saw that Hongdou has a carefree personality before. It is really more suitable for her to play the scholar. At the worst, I will change the script and the storyboard. But if this is the case, I may face a problem. I am on the side of An Hongdou." Don't worry, the main reason is that Teacher Chen won't agree."

But Zhang Fangyuan's worries were not a problem at all with Liu Qingsong, and then he gave Zhang Fangyuan two tricks, telling him to say so when the time came, and then hung up the phone.

After Zhang Fangyuan got the instruction, although he didn't know if this would work, he could only try it now.

So I came to the place where An Hongdou and Chen Nian practiced, looked at An Hongdou and asked with concern: "Hongdou, Teacher Chen, how are you practicing?"

"I still don't feel very good. I'm sorry, director. I must practice more today and try to learn it early." An Hongdou's face showed a trace of guilt.

And Chen Nian hurriedly comforted him from the sidelines.

At this moment, Zhang Fangyuan looked at the two and suddenly said, "Teachers, I have a suggestion from my side."

"What proposal?"

"Just change your identities, Hong Dou will act as a scholar, and Mr. Chen will act as Hua Dan. Because the movements of a scholar are relatively simple, Hong Dou should be able to do it, and Mr. Chen is familiar with Hua Dan's movements. This can be said to complement each other's strengths." .”

When Chen Nian heard this, he wanted to refuse on the spot.

joke!

Although I have learned some things about Huadan from the Chunyu class before, it is something that everyone needs to understand when entering the industry. You must determine what roles you are good at in order to focus on practicing in the future, and what I want to do more is still a niche.

and women's clothing
Chen Nian felt a little ashamed, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart if he did this like a dignified man of seven feet.

"Director Zhang, I don't think this is appropriate." Chen Nian said.

When Zhang Fangyuan saw the situation, he really thought so!
Chen Nian really refused!
But he thought of what Liu Qingsong said just now.

"Mr. Chen, I think we can discuss it again. The proposal just now was actually made by Mr. Liu. He said that after our shooting and post-production, no one will be able to tell whether you are a man or a woman under your makeup. .”

"And Mr. Liu also said that if Mr. Chen is willing to agree, he is willing to raise some salary as compensation for the loss of Mr. Chen's image."

"Increase the salary? How much higher?"

"5, after tax."

"Done, I don't think it's a matter of money or not. I mainly think that promoting traditional Chinese culture is worth dedicating our lives to art."
