Is his background really that terrifying?
Although I know that Yu Zheng is very satisfied with him, there will definitely be different opinions and pressure from all sides. The purpose of today's makeup trial is to reach a consensus.
The group exchanged a few simple greetings.
Since Jing Tian is the undisputed female lead of this drama, she naturally has her own private dressing room.
She winked at Su Yu: "I'm going to do my makeup now, we'll see how you do later~"
Su Yu gave an "OK" sign, turned around and walked into the large dressing room.
Seeing that Su Yu and Jing Tian were so familiar with each other, Fu Xinbo couldn't help but lean in and ask:
"Brother, I heard you were introduced by Yang Mi. Jing Tian is also someone you know?"
Su Yu coughed lightly: "Would you believe me if I said I just met them?"
Fu Xinbo: I don't believe you for a second!
Su Yu's impressive network of connections put a lot of psychological pressure on Fu Xinbo, even making him consider giving up.
Is his background really that terrifying? Could it be that I'm just here to make up the numbers?
As Su Yu walked into the dressing room and looked at the row of professional makeup cases in front of the mirror, a wave of emotion washed over him.
Having just graduated a few months ago, as one of the thousands of extras in Hengdian, how could he possibly receive such treatment?
Back then, when you joined a production team, the makeup artist would at most take a powder puff that had been used by countless people, dab it on your face a couple of times to even out the color. To put it nicely, it was called makeup; to put it bluntly, it was like painting a wall. You had to get up and make room for the next person every few minutes.
Unlike now, two makeup artists are circling around him, meticulously adjusting even a single strand of hair at his temples.
"Teacher Su, should we apply another layer of foundation to our base makeup? The current trend is to have a fairer complexion; it looks better on camera."
As the makeup artist spoke, she began to apply powder to his face.
Su Yu looked at his pale and lifeless face in the mirror and was startled.
While it's true that you look a bit darker on camera, if you add another layer of darker skin, you'll end up looking incredibly white.
It's haunted!
Su Yu smiled gently and said patiently, "Sister Meng, Huo Heng is a general who leads troops into battle. If he is too fair-skinned, he will seem to lack the bearing of a general."
"How about we try applying a thinner layer of foundation, then deepen the contours of our brow bone and jawline, and add more shadow—a more masculine and strong look would be great."
The makeup artist paused, her hand about to pounce on Su Yu's face, then hesitated for a moment, and then...
"Yes, yes, I think so too!"
She'd seen plenty of actors who were difficult, but newcomers like Su Yu, who could pinpoint aesthetic ideas so clearly and had such a great attitude, were extremely rare.
She tried adjusting it, and sure enough, Su Yu in the mirror instantly shed some of his scholarly naiveté, revealing a sunny yet sharp young general's aura.
Wow! So handsome!!
The two women stared at Su Yu, who had just finished her makeup, tears welling up in their eyes.
Next came the costume change. Since Huo Heng's armor required a tighter fit around his waist and abdomen, Meng Jie and Xiao Lin helped him adjust it.
When it came time to put on the inner armor, as Sister Meng helped tighten the belt, her hand inevitably touched Su Yu's waist and abdomen.
"Huh? It doesn't need any packing at all, it's so sturdy!"
Mengjie's eyes lit up, and she whispered to Xiaolin beside her:
"Wow, this Xiao Su looks tall, thin, and sunny, but I didn't expect him to have so many muscles...tsk tsk tsk, they're so hard!"
Xiaolin, being a seasoned pro, covered her mouth and chuckled, "What's up, Sister Meng? You've tried this before?"
Meng Jie was bold; while adjusting Su Yu's collar, she secretly touched his abs and gave him a flirtatious wink.
"It's definitely quite hard~"
Although Su Yu was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little hot-skinned when the two older sisters were so blatantly taking advantage of him.
He smiled somewhat helplessly: "Ladies, I'm a genuine, innocent newcomer who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. Touching my abs costs extra!"
Hearing Su Yu's joke, the two makeup artists burst into laughter, instantly enlivening the somewhat dull atmosphere in the dressing room.
While Mengjie went to get her coat and armor, Su Yu's phone, which was on the table, vibrated.
[Sweet: [Tuzki peeking.gif] Have you changed your clothes? Is the armor heavy?]
Su Yu typed a reply quickly with one hand:
Don't even mention it, I weighed at least several tens of kilograms. I feel like a tin can now.
[Sweet: Pfft! Are you even capable?! Don't get out of breath after just a few steps; Director Yu has very high standards for the energy and spirit of the military officers.]
[Su Yu: Control]
"Okay! Just one last touch-up!"
The more Mengjie drew, the more she liked Su Yu, a boy with a good foundation and a sunny personality, so she did her work with exceptional care.
After a while, Fu Xinbo and another person, having finished their makeup, went out one after the other.
Especially that pretty boy, in order to stand out from the crowd, actually suggested to the stylist that two long pheasant feathers be added to his military helmet, and he couldn't wait to go out and show it off.
His face was already small and delicate, and with those two feathers swaying with his steps, from behind he looked exactly like he had a double ponytail, exuding an indescribable charm.
Mengjie went to the door to get her prop sword, and while she was at it, she peeked outside. When she came back, she approached Su Yu with a gossipy look on her face:
"Xiao Su, do you know who's sitting outside?"
Su Yu blinked: "Isn't it Director Yu?"
"Hi, Mr. Yu Zheng is the producer and art director. You haven't met the real director of this film yet, have you? Director Xu Huikang, a Hong Kong native!"
As Sister Meng helped Su Yu hang up his sword, she suppressed a laugh and said...
"When that young, handsome guy with two bird feathers stuck in his hair went out, Director Xu and the others exchanged glances, kept laughing it off, clearly disgusted, and simply sent him to wait on the side."
Xiaolin chimed in from the side, "But when Fu Xinbo went out, they were quite impressed and praised him, saying that his outfit was quite stylish."
At this point, Sister Meng patted the dark silver armor on Su Yu's shoulder, her eyes filled with pride:
"But you'll find out what a real general is like once you're out there. Are you ready to dazzle them?"
"Haha, thank you both, beautiful ladies!"
On the other side, Xu Huikang and Yu Zheng were drinking tea and chatting when they saw the curtain of the dressing room lifted. Looking up, the girl with "double ponytails" walked out first.
Uh, everything went black.
She has none of the majesty of a general; she's more like a young opera singer.
His face was as white as Yu Zheng's and Xu Huikang's faces were black.
However, he was too embarrassed to criticize her directly. Xu Huikang's lips twitched, he coughed dryly, and laughed it off: "Your look is quite unique, huh? Okay, wait a bit first."
Immediately afterwards, the curtain was lifted again, and Fu Xinbo came out.
