Mei Zihan's makeup has been completely fixed.
He looked at his strange self in the mirror, and he didn't dare to recognize him.
is this me
The roles played by Mei Zihan in the past were basically Yushu Linfeng, and even if he became disabled occasionally, he could still recognize himself. It's almost completely different from this one now.
"If you didn't enter the entertainment industry, you should be like this when you are 35 years old and you have an ordinary job. Maybe it's not as good as it is now." The stylist looked at Mei Zihan and said.
Actors and stars in the entertainment industry spend a lot of time and money maintaining their appearance, but for ordinary people, getting a beauty shot is already a big deal.
Therefore, whenever stars in the entertainment industry go to class reunions, they always find that their painting styles are incompatible with ordinary people.
Mei Zihan nodded understandingly when he heard the stylist's words.
Thinking about it this way, being an actor is not bad.
If I hadn't entered the entertainment industry as an actor, then I would be a greasy middle-aged uncle by now.
Not necessarily, I am more smug, maybe I will still keep fit. But I don't have much self-control, I guess I should be a handsome guy in the fat world.
However, Jiang Ying did not enter the entertainment circle, and she is still so beautiful now. It must be that Jiang Ying is also secretly maintaining her figure, otherwise it would be impossible to maintain this young and beautiful appearance.
The more beautiful it is, the more effort it takes to maintain it.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Ying feels that she has become cute too, and it is very worth celebrating.
Mei Zihan's thoughts flew to the sky.
"This looks good, get ready, we'll start filming the first scene." The director came over, saw Mei Zihan's appearance, and nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Mei Zihan's appearance, Zhang Ying burst into a smile, "That's right, so you look a little older than me. I'm under a lot of pressure to play with a young man all the time."
Actors and actors who are not much different in age from next to next stand together. Generally, the actresses look younger, but Mei Zihan doesn't seem to be getting old at all.
Zhang Ying, who has a dignified temperament, has nowhere to reason.
"Sister Yingying, are you kidding me? Two or three years old is not too old."
After everyone laughed a few times, they began to prepare for the filming.
———————
A man, a woman and a lovely girl are eating around the dining table.
"The salary of my last play has already been paid into the card, you can use it." The middle-aged man wiped his glasses, smiled and glanced at his wife and daughter, feeling very satisfied.
"This crew is not in arrears of wages." The wife also laughed, "Unlike my previous crew, the salary was delayed for a full year, and only 70% was paid."
"After all, it's a big crew. There were many people who wanted to compete with me for this role before, but they couldn't do it." A flash of pride flashed across the man's face, "Even if it's a small role, I will work hard to play it well. I had a pretty good reputation before.”
"Is there any other roles that you lack in the crew?" The wife suddenly raised her head and asked, "For example, the heroine's nanny, housekeeper and so on?"
"There seems to be no shortage of this."
"That's it." A look of disappointment flashed across his wife's face, "That's right, there has always been no shortage of actresses in the industry, even for such small supporting roles, there are still many people to play."
"... Let me ask you again." The man summoned up his courage and said, "Now that our daughter is also in preschool, she doesn't have to work as hard as before. If it's just a small role, you can still play it."
The man knows that his wife probably wants to go out to work now.
His wife is only in her 30s now, and many actresses of this age in the entertainment industry are still unmarried. But the wives who have given birth look ten years older than those actresses of the same age.
Now that the child has finally grown to the age where he can not worry so much, it is only natural that the wife wants to go out to work again.
A man is always a considerate husband.
Only then did the wife show a sincere smile, "My acting skills have never been very good, you have to teach me when the time comes."
"Is mom going to be an actress in a movie?" The little girl asked crisply, "Then mom must be very, very good-looking."
"Your mother was always pretty." The man smiled and pinched his daughter's nose, "Now she's the prettiest."
"Then I'll go for a beauty treatment tomorrow." The wife touched her face, "You must always look your best."
"Pick the most expensive one." The man followed suit.
The family ate happily, looking extremely harmonious.
"Cut." Li Wei called out, "Lighting engineer, adjust the light a little brighter. Mei Zihan and Zhang Ying, you two acted too harmoniously. You are now a couple who seem to be inseparable, remember to act Be cool."
According to the description in the first half of the script, the hero Zheng Shan has always been unclear about his wife's needs. At the beginning, his wife was willing to marry him only because she was pregnant and it was difficult to fight. On the other hand, she also liked Zheng Shan's potential and wanted to invest in advance.
Who knew that after so many years, Zheng Shan was still just a young actor. Don't talk about helping her, I almost can't act.
The wife is still in touch with her former friends. Those friends who have not given birth are now like girls, socializing with all kinds of rich and handsome, enjoying the wealth and glory brought to them by this circle. But what about her? Every day, the parents are short of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the husband doesn't even know what she wants or what she wants to do.
Does her life have to be tied to her child and her husband
"Understood the director, let's do it again." Zhang Ying nodded.
"Wait a minute. The props team will change this table to a long one." Li Wei looked at the scene and decided to change the layout, "You three should sit as far away as possible. My daughter can sit Lean towards Dad."
"Mei Zihan, you are so energetic in your acting. You have to act with the kind of old spirit that belongs to ordinary people. After so many years of fighting, Zheng Shan has no requirements for the development of acting. You can treat him as a Special actors can only play fixed roles, and they only treat acting as an ordinary job to make a living."
Mei Zihan thought for a while, and finally understood what the director meant.
First scene, second shoot, start again.
Mei Zihan was ready to shoot the movie "In and Out" for more than half a year.
Because director Li Wei is very concerned about elements such as lighting scenes, sometimes he does not start shooting for three consecutive days in order to wait for a suitable light.
There are only 2 to 3 scenes that can be filmed every day, basically it is repeated filming, repeated grinding.
Even Zhang Ying, who is used to the shooting pace of literary films, feels that the progress is a bit too slow, let alone Mei Zihan, who has long been accustomed to the fast pace
But the director seemed to know that the two of them were not used to it, so he slowed down his speed instead.
They have to learn this rhythm and use this rhythm in the film.
This meticulous rigor makes the shot full of beauty.
Many of Li Wei's disciples knew that this was the last film of the teacher, so they volunteered to work on the set without pay, hoping to learn a little more from the last film of the teacher.
Li Wei didn't refuse anyone, after all, his students were quite capable.
There is nothing wrong with multiple people working together.
"Teacher, the heroine has so many lipsticks that they even fill up a drawer. Is there any symbolic meaning for this?" a disciple asked earnestly.
"Ask your little junior sister about this." Li Wei didn't answer directly, "Women should be able to understand such behavior."
"Because lipstick is the cheapest and most colorful compared to other cosmetics." Guan Yue said her own explanation, "During the economic crisis, only lipstick is the most popular among women's cosmetics. Okay. Because of family reasons, the heroine can’t spend all her money on her face like she used to be a star, and she doesn’t have so much money. So buying lipstick has become a way for her to miss her previous lifestyle. kind of symbol."
"What a wife needs is love and understanding. Zheng Shan has not done a good job in this regard. However, Zheng Shan's husband is all praised in life and society, and his wife has no chance to quarrel. The long-term depression and The comparison of the lives of friends made my wife obsessed with the idea of re-entering the entertainment circle as an actor. But it is difficult for the wife to express this idea directly, because everyone will say that she is overwhelmed and hopes that she can Be content with the status quo."
"Is this a belated rebellious period?"
"Roughly the same."
"The same is true for Zheng Shan. He used to yearn for fame in acting, but now he has become a stagnant pool. The comfortable family life has made him have no fighting spirit. A man who no longer has any goals for himself, for a woman He said that his charm is greatly discounted, even if he is still handsome now. A woman can accompany you to suffer for a few years or ten years, but she doesn't want to accompany you to suffer for a lifetime. This is also human nature. "
"The teacher's scripts are always like this, but they are so plain that they make people think carefully. I really want to know what the second half of the plot looks like?" Guan Yue couldn't help complaining.
I don't know what the teacher thought. In order to let the actors and staff enter the role step by step, the teacher actually hid the second half of the script. Now the entire crew only knows the content of the first half of the script, but nothing about the second half.
Is the wife cheating or not, and what will the hero do to his wife after entering the play? What will be the final outcome? Happy reunion or depression? No one can say for sure.
If you want to know the content of the second half, you have to shoot the first half first.
God knows how long it will take!
