Chapter 91

After breakfast, Gu Zhongyu came to the dressing room of the crew leisurely.

In costume dramas, the makeup and hair of the actors are very important, and the actors need to enter the group in advance to set the makeup

The main task is for actors to try on the costumes needed to play the role, put on the makeup of the role, and see how it looks.If the garment is not the right size, it must be modified.If the costume does not match the actor's image and temperament, it must be redone.The same goes for makeup, if it doesn't look good, it has to be reworked.

Three years have passed since the last costume drama, Ji Fa, who guest starred in "Fengshen Bang: The Martial King Fighting Zhou", Gu Zhongyu finally returned to the familiar field again.

The stylist cut Gu Zhongyu's somewhat long hair a little shorter, shaved his sideburns flat, and then began to put a wig on him.

Gu Zhongyu used to think that Zhang Xiaojing was a fictional character in Ma Boyong’s novels, but later when he was writing the script, he checked the information and found that there was a real person in history. It was recorded in Yao Ru-neng’s "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy An Lushan Deeds", but there was only one line: "The knight Zhang Xiaojing first shot Guozhong (that is, Yang Guozhong) to fall."

The surname Zhang is a traditional Han surname, and it is speculated that the knight Zhang Xiaojing should also be a Han Chinese.

Lei Jiayin's version of Zhang Xiaojing performed well, but his hair was loose, which obviously didn't fit the Han people's attire, so Gu Zhongyu's version of Zhang Xiaojing's hair was all tied up in a bun.

In the past, costume dramas in mainland China were relatively conscientious. Old dramas such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Tang Minghuang", all the characters were Han Chinese before the Qing Dynasty, and the actors' hair was tied up honestly.

The hilarious comedy "New Three Kingdoms" made by Gao Xixi is that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi all wear their hair, like NM outsiders, and Ma Chao and Han Sui's appearance is really a savage!

"Hey! I'm going to shoot ancient costumes with headgear again. It's better to play Qing Dynasty dramas! Just shave your head and you're done." Yu Bo from the next door complained. He didn't have to wear this annoying headgear when he was filming "Big Hands" and "Li Wei Resigns".

"If you don't like the trouble of wearing a headgear, you can just grow your own long hair. I remember when you filmed "Water Moon Cave", didn't you just use your real hair?"

It seems that he is not the only one. The brothers Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin who played the brothers with him both did not wear headgear, and kept their own instant noodle hair.

Fortunately, the plots of Zhouyi's plots are very exciting, and the brains are big enough, so the flaws are not concealed, but in today's era, this style can no longer be adopted.

"Then can you allow my character in the play to have an instant noodle hairstyle?" Yu Bo tentatively asked, thinking that he and Li Xunhuan were known as the only male gods in costume dramas who can control the instant noodle hairstyle!

"Okay! Now go and change into a dress, put on some rouge and blush, and act like a woman! Don't talk about instant noodle hair, you can keep the airplane hair."

"piss off!"

While Gu Zhongyu and the others were doing modeling, the rest of the actors came one after another.

All the actresses put on makeup happily, but Li Yuan sat in the seat with a look of bitterness and hatred on her face. She was the most miserable of all the actors, because the role of Yuchang had to completely flatten her hair, which was basically the same as a bald head.

For a girl, this is indeed a bit of a sacrifice, and she has to maintain this look for several months, even after the shoot, it will take a long time for her hair to grow back.

When Gu Zhongyu saw the barber push her hair down with an electric clipper, at first her hands were clenched into fists, her eyes were full of determination, but she didn't say a word, and she laughed out loud as she cut it!
These ladies can do it!He is a ruthless man!
He remembered his student Zhou Dongyu, who was also an actress with a shaved head, and their professionalism was completely different.

When filming "Youth in Youth", Zhou Dongyu's character needed to shave her hair, so she threatened everyone in the crew to shave their heads with her!Many people were unwilling, so she took a push knife on the spot, and gave it to anyone who had a lot of hair...

Of course, Li Yuan's coffee position is too small, so it's impossible for her to make such a request, but she didn't even complain. This kind of dedication is difficult for many actresses in the circle now.

"Sure enough! It's still in ancient costume, which is more suitable for you, boss!"

Bai Lu watched curiously from the side as the actors put on their makeup. When she saw Gu Zhongyu shaved off his sideburns and put on a bun, she couldn't help but praise the boss who was too scumbag in her heart.

Gu Zhongyu's costume style is very similar to that of Gu Tianle when he was young, and he is also tall. After wearing the loose Hanfu, he has a heroic and extraordinary temperament.

Bai Lu slanders: Such a good-looking face is really blind for a scumbag!

"Ah, that's right! Teacher Gu is the number one male god in ancient costume, and he is so handsome in everything he plays!" Nazha's makeup has already been done at this time, and most of her character Wenran is dressed in men's clothing. The makeup and hair can be done faster, and no headgear is needed.

A suit of men's clothes made Nazha's facial features more three-dimensional and moving. Gu Zhongyu's eyes were envious of Kazilan's big eyes and face carved in jade.

At this time, Wan Qian also came over after finishing her styling. She was dressed in a round-neck gown with a heroic appearance and a cool temperament. While her eyebrows were attractive, she also carried a hint of arrogance, which was no worse than the original Reyiza's sandalwood chess.

"Mr. Gu's appearance is so handsome that I have nothing to say, but... isn't it a bit too..." Wan Qian did not continue.

"It's too creamy, isn't it? Don't worry, there's still a beard left!"

As the stylist glued the last beard firmly on him, Gu Zhongyu finally finished his makeup, which took more time than actresses, so he stood up and looked in the mirror, yes, quite satisfied!

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

The actresses present were all amazed by Gu Zhongyu's style. The No. [-] niche in costume dramas really lived up to their reputation. Adding a beard not only did not make people look sloppy, but added a touch of melancholy and mature charm.

Especially Nazha, who has always controlled her face, looked at her Teacher Gu, and her eyes began to glow!
In fact, this kind of appearance is more in line with the character design. In "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", Zhang Xiaojing is like Yang Guo in the world. People like him everywhere he goes, and he is so popular with women!
Forget old acquaintances such as Ding Tonger, Xu Hezi, Wen Ran, and Li Xiangxiang who have kindness. Even Tan Qi, a woman who has not known him for a day, is willing to die for him. If she is not handsome, it is really not convincing.

In terms of appearance, classmate Lei Jiayin is not very good. His big head is worth two others, and his mouth feels like he can swallow an actress, just like a big tiger whistle!
Director Cao Dun was extremely satisfied with the looks of Gu Zhongyu and others, and directly announced the finalized shooting.

In the previous life "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", the daughter of the great neon director Akira Kurosawa was invited, and the costume stylist Kazuko Kurosawa participated in the guidance of Fuhuadao, so some "Japanese style" remnants still appeared in the play.

Japanese-style lanterns, Japanese-style Uchiwa fans, Tang Pofeng leaking from the building, and the rotten "dry landscape" set, that is, a layer of white sand is spread around the rockery or lawn, like pieces of psoriasis that destroy the beauty...

Naturally, Gu Zhongyu will not make the same mistake again. In this drama, he must wipe out all the Japanese styles that are common in ancient costume dramas of the Celestial Dynasty!

In this life, Gu Zhongyu invited all Chinese designers. Hu Xiao, the guide of the costume team, specialized in the research and production of ancient Chinese costumes. The designer Huang Wei was in charge of the styling design of dramas such as "Ever Night", "Meng Hua Lu" and "Sea Shepherd Cloud", including the original version of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an".

"Okay, it's getting late, the press conference will be in a few days, let's hurry up and finish taking the makeup photos today." The director of photography Jing Chong began to urge everyone to go out and take pictures quickly.

The first shot was the makeup photo of the two protagonists, Zhang Xiaojing and Li Mi, and the actor who played Li Mi was Zhu Yilong, an unknown junior from Beidian at this time.

Looking at the young Zhu Yilong, he actually made his debut in 2009, but he has been acting in digital movies and small supporting roles. He was already 2018 years old when he became popular in 30 by starring in the online drama "Soul Soul".

Vertical and horizontal entertainment is full of yin and yang, except for Gu Zhongyu, who has no niche who can carry it, so he is also in urgent need of bringing newcomers out. Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruoyun are both key actors to be trained.

Zhu Yilong was wearing a blue Taoist robe and a lotus flower crown on his head. He was dressed as a senior Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, with the gentleness of a modest gentleman.

It was the lotus crown on his head that made Gu Zhongyu want to laugh when he looked at him. Although it was a formal Taoist dress, it always reminded people of Vajra Gourd Baby!

Gu Zhongyu's body has many patterns, wearing a soft head scarf, a dark green round-neck robe with a thick waist leather belt, leather wrist guards, a short crossbow, and a straight Tang knife in his hand, revealing a mighty and domineering look.

The two stood side by side, and Zhu Yilong seemed a little cautious. It was his first time participating in such a big production, and he was afraid that his performance would not be good, and he might not be able to let go. Gu Zhongyu patted him on the shoulder, and he calmed down and took the makeup photo.

Next is the set makeup photos of several leading actresses. Since almost all the female characters in the play have intersections with Zhang Xiaojing, every girl has to co-produce a poster with Gu Zhongyu.

Wan Qian and Gu Zhongyu looked at each other affectionately, as if they were so tender in the audition. I have to say that this young lady has a bit of driving eyes, and even a thick-skinned Gu Daguan can't stand it.

As for Nazha, she is acting in her true colors. In the play, Wen Ran is Zhang Xiaojing's fan girl. In reality, she also happens to be Gu Zhongyu's crazy fan, and her eyes are full of unconcealable admiration.

The photo with Li Yuan was a bit thrilling. I don’t know what Jing Chong was thinking, so that the two of them put on a life-and-death fight. The sisters held an unsharp knife to their throats, as if they wanted to avenge their fallen hair. Gu Zhongyu was afraid...
