Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1034 Make Her Ugly
The next day, Lin Daoqiu brought Guan Zhilin to the set to prepare A Fang's makeup.

For the heroine of "The Dumb Girl Fang", the image of the ugly girl must be prominent, but it must not be a scary one.

After all, there is an essential difference between a disfigured face and an ugly monster.

In the last life in 01, To Qifeng and Wei Jiahui once directed a movie called "Zhong Wuyan".

This is a comedy starring Anita Mui, Sammi Cheng and Cecilia Cheung.

Regardless of how the movie was filmed, these two guys made a big joke about the appearance design of the heroine Zhong Wuyan.

The heroine Zhong Wuyan is known as the Four Ugly Girls of Ancient Times in history, and this "Zhong Wuyan" directed by To Qifeng and Wei Jiahui just got a red spot on the corner of her right eye.

No matter how you look at Zhong Wuyan played by Zheng Xiuwen, she can't even touch the word ugly.

But even so, this drama still won a box office score of 2700 million at the time, ranking No.4 in the annual box office.

The number one is Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer", and No.2 is "Slimming Men and Women" directed by Johnnie To and Wei Jiahui. The protagonists are Sammi Cheng and Andy Lau. It can be seen that Sammi Cheng was a box office guarantee at the time.

For Lin Daoqiu, to put a spot on Guan Zhilin's face in a perfunctory way is not only fooling himself, but also fooling the audience.

So this time, Lin Daoqiu paid more attention to Guan Zhilin's makeup.

One can imagine how difficult it is to make Guan Zhilin ugly, but not disfigured.

And since it is the heroine, it can't be too embarrassing, otherwise it will be difficult to arouse the sympathy of the audience.

The effect Lin Daoqiu wants to achieve is to look ugly, but definitely not the kind of super ugly girl, let alone a disfigured face.

In 1984, Xiangjiang's stylists were far inferior to the time and space where Lin Daoqiu was in technically.

If you ask them to make up, they can do simple ancient costumes or modern makeup.

But after listening to Lin Daoqiu's request, those makeup artists were completely dumbfounded.

It can't be too ugly, but it can't be good-looking, and it must cover Guan Zhilin's beauty.

If it wasn't Lin Daoqiu standing in front of them, these make-up artists would have cursed on the spot. This request is too strong.

Finally, after some discussions, these makeup artists started to join forces and began to experiment cautiously.

Guan Zhilin sat on a chair and was tossed about by these makeup artists for several hours.

During the period, the makeup has been changed, and the makeup has been removed several times.

But Lin Daoqiu was still very dissatisfied, so they could only repeat the previous work.

"Sigh...Brother Qiu shouldn't have asked Ms. Guan to play the heroine in the first place. She is so pretty. I really can't think of any better way to make her ugly than to disfigure her."

Zheng Danrui chatted with Wen Jun in a low voice beside him.

In his opinion, instead of making Lin Daoqiu satisfied, it is better to change to another actor, I am afraid that he can meet Lin Daoqiu's requirements faster.

"I haven't seen Brother Qiu treat a girl so well before, writing scripts and teaching acting at the same time."

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui had more or less noticed that Lin Daoqiu and Guan Zhilin had an unusual relationship.

But in this case, they will never talk about it with others, at most, they can just chat with each other.

"You guys talk so much nonsense, why don't you go out for a while and come back."

Lin Daoqiu didn't hear clearly what Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were talking about, but he was very annoyed now, and he was even more annoyed when he heard these two guys chattering beside him.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui nodded quickly, then turned and walked out of the dressing room.

Wang Jing did not leave, because he did not participate in the discussion between Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of putting a big black mole on Miss Guan's face and making it darker?"

Wang Jing didn't have any sympathy at all. As soon as he finished speaking, the make-up artist next to him couldn't help laughing.

"Try to see Director Wang's opinion."

Lin Daoqiu doesn't have any good solutions now. He is not good at makeup, so he can only try it.

According to Wang Jing, the make-up artist painted Guan Zhilin a little darker, and after sticking a black dot, she was indeed much uglier than before.

Although she can still vaguely see her original appearance, if she is not someone who meets Guan Zhilin every day, she will definitely be shocked when she sees her appearance.

"From now on, Ah Fang's makeup will be done in this way."

Lin Daoqiu was very satisfied with Wang Jing's opinion. After all, the makeup looks that he had tried before were either too ugly or had no effect at all.

"Wow... How can I go out and meet people?"

Seeing herself in the mirror, Guan Zhilin's small mouth pouted all of a sudden.

Fortunately, this is just acting. If she really becomes like this in reality, Guan Zhilin will almost cry to death.

After finishing the makeup, Lin Daoqiu took Guan Zhilin to see Xu Anhua.

The other party was also frightened when he saw Guan Zhilin at first sight. Is this still the beloved Guan Zhilin?She is simply an ugly girl, and a very ordinary ugly girl at that.

"Mr. Lin, this..."

Xu Anhua did not expect Lin Daoqiu to turn Guan Zhilin into this appearance, which was a bit beyond her expectation.

Because in Xu Anhua's view, even if Lin Daoqiu wants to make Guan Zhilin ugly, he should just fool the audience casually, and a simple trick should be enough.

But what she didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu actually turned Guan Zhilin into an ugly monster, which made her not know what to say.

"I think this is more in line with the setting in the TV series."

Lin Daoqiu didn't seem to think there was any problem. He even thought that if it could be a little more ugly, the final contrast would be better.

"It really fits..."

Xu Anhua nodded, and had to say that after Lin Daoqiu made such a move, the trait of A Fang played by Guan Zhilin, a big beauty, has been completely eliminated.

If you haven't seen Guan Zhilin before, you can't imagine that she will be a super beautiful woman.

At this time, Guan Zhilin's reputation was not very high, and she had only acted in a few movies, and not many people knew her.

With such makeup, it is basically difficult to recognize at a glance that she is the big beauty Guan Zhilin.

"Even Director Xu agrees. In this case, I believe that the final effect of the film "Mute Girl Ah Fang" should be very good."

Lin Daoqiu looked very confident, but Guan Zhilin next to him knew that he was in a bad mood.

But because she had promised Lin Daoqiu before that she would seriously perform this play well, no matter how much dissatisfaction she had, she could only be bored in her heart.
