"Just change my makeup to the same as during the shoot in Shanghai."
Jiang Se whispered to the makeup artist. As soon as she said this, the makeup artist was stunned:
"Can you do it?"
During the filming of "A Glimmer of Hope", he was responsible for Jiang Se's makeup.
For the role she filmed in Shanghai, at the request of Zhang Jing'an, she only applied a very light layer of foundation to highlight her girlish complexion and make her more photogenic. It can almost be said that she was not wearing any makeup. If her makeup was changed to that of Jiang Se during the filming in Shanghai, Zhang Jing'an might not be satisfied afterwards.
But at this point, the makeup artist had no better idea. The makeup he put on Jiang Se several times made the director dissatisfied, but he did not tell the reason for his dissatisfaction.
Jiang Se is also the female lead in the play. After she gave her instructions, the makeup artist confirmed her requirements, hesitated for a moment, removed all the thick foundation on her face, neck and hands with makeup remover, reapplied lotion, and brushed on a very thin layer of powder.
When she appeared in front of Zhang Jing'an again, Zhang Jing'an frowned and the makeup artist was a little nervous, but at least Zhang Jing'an did not ask him to make further changes without any reason.
"You asked him to revise it?"
There was still about a quarter of an hour before the official shooting, and Zhang Jing'an took this opportunity to chat with Jiang Se about Tang Jing in "A Glimmer of Hope".
"Yes." Jiang Se nodded. She didn't let the makeup artist change it like this. The makeup artist definitely wouldn't dare to change it like this. Zhang Jingan knew it very well.
Her frank admission not only earned Zhang Jing'an's surprised look, but also the makeup artist's somewhat moved expression.
"I've seen a scene, Director Zhang. In the scene, Tang Jing was tied here directly after the birthday party." Tang Jing didn't even have time to remove her makeup, on such an important occasion as her eighteenth birthday.
She should have been the center of the Tang family, but at this time the Tang family didn't care about her disappearance at all, until later the servants reported in panic that the young lady was missing, and her driver was also missing.
If it weren't for the video sent by the kidnappers later, the Tang family might not have realized that she was in danger.
Under this premise, it makes sense for Jiang Se to ask the makeup artist to change her makeup to the same look as when she was photographing Tang Jing's birthday in Shanghai.
"As for the mess later, I don't think there's any need to mess it up on purpose." Jiang Se was holding the script. This script, which was originally given to her by the crew, looked a little old after she had been reading it for several months. The edges of the paper were worn and rough, and it was obvious that she read it often.
Zhang Jing'an was unhappy about her taking the initiative, but his displeasure gradually faded away when he saw the script Jiang Se took out. He nodded, motioning for Jiang Se to continue.
"When Brother Liu and the others were trying to carry out the role of Tang Jing, their hairstyle, makeup and clothes naturally couldn't remain intact."
The meaning of her words revealed that she was not going to use a substitute. Zhang Jingan was a little surprised and reminded her:
"During the filming process, there will inevitably be bumps and bumps."
And when shooting, due to various reasons, there is no guarantee that it will pass the lens smoothly in one go.
What's more, this is not Jiang Se's first time making a movie. She should be very clear that sometimes the finished product you see on the movie screen flashes by, but it is very likely that the crew will spend most of the day shooting.
Such a situation is likely to cause her some harm.
"It's okay." Jiang Se shook his head. "In fact, the film shot this way is more realistic."
What's more, this will also help her understand and better interpret the subsequent plot. She saw Zhang Jing'an frowning and looking at Xia Chaoqun. When the crew signed the contract, they took into account all aspects of the Century Galaxy actress's body, which already involved a contract issue.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Zhang Jingan asked, and Jiang Se nodded:
"Do you still remember when I was a minor character under you during the filming of 'Rescue Operation'?"
She was not shy about her original background and brought it up easily at this time, although everyone in the circle knew about it. Even for some unknown stars, it was not a shameful thing to be a supporting role in Zhang Jingan's crew.
But Jiang Se is different. She has become famous now, and is even playing the leading female role in Zhang Jingan's crew. But she has no intention of hiding what happened back then. Instead, she mentioned it in a very frank tone.
This made Zhang Jing'an like her even more. He responded, and Jiang Se said:
"When I was a minor character in your movie, I had to jump into the river and act out a dead body."
The suffering she had endured back then was even worse than what she was going through now, so what did being carried around and thrown around now matter
Zhang Jingan laughed, and his eyes softened a little:
"Sese, now I realize why Zhao Rang likes you so much."
Zhao Rang is a well-known domestic director after all, but he has publicly expressed his interest in working with Jiang Se several times. He even made an exception and took her to the influential domestic show "Filmmakers in the Circle" when he was working with Jiang Se on "Love Letter". In addition to the fact that her role had unusual significance for the movie at the time, it was also because of her personality.
She did not even act ostentatious because of her fame. Instead, she still maintained her original mentality, which is very rare. This should be an important reason why her career has developed smoothly and her acting skills have made great breakthroughs.
Jiang Se smiled and handed the script to Mo Anqi:
"That's because my acting skills still have a long way to go compared to Brother Liu and the others, so I need some external assistance."
When this scene of the movie officially started shooting, Liu Ye and others already knew that the person in the bag was Jiang Se herself and not a stand-in, but in order to show the cruelty and ruthlessness of the kidnappers, they still did not go easy when carrying her.
In such a dark space, the memories of Feng Nan being kidnapped as a child came back to her mind one by one.
She thought about her panic when she was forcibly taken into the car, and her fear when she was taken away. Her emotions were released bit by bit. The dirty bags specially made by the crew were filled with the pungent smell of paint. Jiang Se allowed herself to recall the past.
Cheng Jianguo and the others were not gentle in carrying her. When she was thrown to the ground, she groaned in pain, with some forbearance and some trembling, and it was obvious that she was extremely frightened.
The cry of pain seemed particularly real, and the microphone captured her slight gasp perfectly.
The kidnappers, played by Hollywood actor Daniel, roughly pulled the bag off Jiang Se's body. She was already in a state of distress due to the previous carrying.
Her hair, which had been neatly combed, now looked a little messy. She curled up her body with one shoulder raised and her chin buried in it. Half of her face was faintly visible among her hair.
There was no screaming in this scene, nor her expression of being terrified, but her body language and actions could infect everyone present, conveying her fear to every pair of eyes that fell on her. She was not the actress Jiang Se at this moment, but Tang Jing, the real celebrity daughter who was kidnapped in "A Glimmer of Hope". (To be continued)
