Chapter 191 "Shushan" Blood Demon (Part [-])

As a big drama of Golden Harvest Film Company this year, the crew of "New Shushan Swordsman" is in full swing near Lantau Island.

Three trucks used by the crew, a simple prop room, surrounded by huge background panels, and some messy shooting equipment...

Who could have imagined that the "New Shushan Swordsman", which had a good reputation at the box office in the previous life, was produced under such circumstances.

It doesn't have the grandeur of Hollywood blockbusters, but the unrestrained thinking of HK filmmakers and the use and combination of small workshop shooting equipment.

When Chen Xiaotang arrived there, Zheng Shaoqiu, who was dressed in a costume, with a Taoist-like hair bun and a fairy sword on his back, had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw him, he said, "Hurry up, Ah Tang, and say hello to the director first." !"

So Chen Xiaotang went to look for Xu Ke, Xu Ke was instructing the prop masters to place the props, when he saw him coming, he said, "It's you, get ready, go make up first, and see how it works?"

Chen Xiaotang nodded, and asked the person next to him where the dressing room was, but it turned out to be that temporary hut.

When I went inside, I saw a table, a chair, and a mirror, all kinds of makeup utensils were placed on it, which was completely different from the dressing room of the wireless TV station.

With such a strong lineup, Chen Xiaotang was stunned to use such a simple dressing room. He also realized that filming is more difficult than filming TV, and many excellent Hong Kong movies are shot in such a simple studio. Leading an era and ushering in a golden decade.

Not long after Chen Xiaotang sat down, a woman who looked like a make-up artist came in. Chen Xiaotang hurriedly said, "Hi, I'm here to make up, can you help me..."

"I'm not free now, just wait a minute!" the female makeup artist hurriedly finished, and almost took the foundation on the table with the fastest movement, and ran out, apparently to touch up someone's makeup.

Chen Xiaotang shrugged helplessly, and said to himself, you don't want me to do my own makeup, do you?

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the female makeup artist came in again, and Chen Xiaotang hurriedly said, "I said, I'm in a hurry——!"

"I'm sorry, everyone is in a hurry," the female makeup artist took out some cosmetic products.

Chen Xiaotang was surprised, what kind of makeup artist is this? Shenlong ran away without saying a word.

Just when Chen Xiaotang was in a daze, Zheng Shaoqiu came in at some point, seeing that he hadn't moved at all, he said anxiously for him: "A Tang, why haven't you put on your makeup yet? It's time to play!"

Chen Xiaotang spread his hands, "I don't want to either, the problem is that the makeup artist doesn't have time to talk to me at all!"

"Sister Fen, there is no way. Originally, there were three makeup artists. One was admitted to the hospital with acute appendicitis, and the other went on a blind date today. Otherwise, she would never be able to marry a wife—now she is the only one working, of course. But come!" Zheng Shaoqiu explained.

"Then what should I do? Can I do it myself?"

"Do you make up yourself? Can you do it? It doesn't matter, you can do it yourself first, and I will ask Sister Fen to help you later!" Zheng Shaoqiu hurried out after finishing speaking.

From Zheng Shaoqiu's point of view, it's not surprising for an actor to do their own makeup. It shouldn't be a big problem to paint their eyebrows by themselves, but he didn't know that Chen Xiaotang's so-called "makeup by himself" was drastic and thorough, and he did it completely by himself.

Seeing that Zheng Shaoqiu was out, Chen Xiaotang was not idle, and started to look for costumes first. According to his intention, since he was going to play the super villain "Blood Demon" in "Swordsman of Shushan", then a bloody "Blood Demon" "Gown" is essential.

The room was in a mess, with weapons, props, and costumes piled up in a huge pile.On the shelf to the left, there is a row of brand new costumes, which seem to be used in the filming of this movie.

So Chen Xiaotang walked over and picked up the costumes on the shelf with his hands, black, white, purple, green—well, I don’t want the green robe, it became the "Green Robe Patriarch"—finally on the shelf In the middle he found a big red robe.

Chen Xiaotang picked up the dress and took a look, only to see that the dress was open, and it was still made of silk when he touched it with his hands. It was a good costume. Generally, TV dramas are made of Dacron fabric. Although it is durable, it can be worn for ten years. It's not bad to wear, it's like an iron shirt, but it's tight and uncomfortable when you wear it.

Chen Xiaotang took off his coat, leaving only the shirt inside, and then put the "Da Hong Pao" on his body very carefully.The most troublesome thing about costumes is not how to wear them, but how to fasten the skirts.Many people have already come into contact with this kind of clothes, but they are still confused. Fortunately, Chen Xiaotang has been filming for a long time, and he is still very good at wearing ancient costumes, at least he didn't tie his clothes backwards.

After getting dressed, Chen Xiaotang came to the big mirror and turned around in front of the mirror like an ancient fashion model, "Well, yes, this dress is quite suitable for me. If I don't play the blood demon, I will play the bridegroom officer Not bad!"

Putting on the costumes, the next step is to wear the headgear, which is a bit difficult. First of all, there are many types of headgear, not to mention the small braids in the Qing Dynasty, but this kind of bun style that was common from the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming There are many kinds of headgear, for example, long hair, short hair, loose hair, Taoist bun, scholar bun, poor bun, rich bun—poor people put wooden hairpins in their buns, rich people usually put golden hairpins on their buns, and stick Put on sequins, twinkle and twinkle, such as Yang Kang's bun in "The Condor Shooting".

In addition, according to the change of the actor's role in the play, the hairstyle will be changed. The most typical one is the character "Jiang Feng" played by Huang Rihua in the TVB drama "Battle of Xuanwumen" that is being broadcast.In the beginning, Jiang Feng was just a stupid poor boy, so it was just a very ordinary short-haired headgear, with no decorations on the topknot, but when he learned the "Vientiane Magic Art" and became the head of the "Haotian Gate", his hairstyle changed immediately It turned into a black and glossy shawl, and the top of the hair is decorated with golden hairpins, which can be described as the momentum of a great master.

So, don't underestimate the role of the hair set. In costume dramas, it is even equivalent to a business card and a symbol of status.

Chen Xiaotang carefully selected the headgear that belonged to the "Blood Demon". In his opinion, since it can be called a "demon", then the hair must not be neat. If it is too neat, it will be suspected that this person is an "orthodox person". To choose a loose headgear, but the problem is that there are only two loose headgear, and one of them has white hair——
gray hair?Pick, did you make a mistake?I acted like a blood demon, not Hong Qigong!
Then I can only choose the black hair, Chen Xiaotang picked it up and looked at it, and was dumbfounded again, it turned out that the hair in this headgear was long enough, but it looked a bit small when I put it on my head, what should I do? !

No matter, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

Chen Xiaotang found the scissors used for makeup, cut the back of the headgear, then grabbed three strands of hair, braided them into two small braids, put the hair cap on his head, tied the two braids as a tie at the back, and firmly fixed on the head.

Chen Xiaotang picked up the wooden comb again, according to the gorefiend look in Ekin Cheng's "Crazy Marriage" in his previous life, after combing, he put on hairspray, so that the hairstyle is done.

Next, he began to make up his own face, which was even more difficult for Chen Xiaotang. He picked up the foundation, first applied it to his face, then picked up the eyebrow pencil and lipstick --- draw eyeliner, draw lip lines... posture Meticulous and somewhat professional attitude.

After basically finishing the makeup on the face, Chen Xiaotang looked left and right in the mirror, always feeling that there was still something missing.

what is it then?Chen Xiaotang was pondering, and some scenes from the TV series "Fairy Couple" starring Ekin Cheng began to appear in his mind. As for the movie version of "Shushan" starring Ekin Cheng, Chen Xiaotang felt that except for the special effects, it was simply a bad movie. The only line he remembers is: "I haven't seen you in 500 years!"

In the TV version, after the "Shi Sheng" played by Ekin Cheng turned into a "Blood Demon", both his appearance and his tone of voice are very cool, especially the red robe is restrained and stretched out, which is like an emperor's majesty and grandeur. Chen Xiaotang is still unforgettable.

Right, right.Chen Xiaotang suddenly remembered, what else is there in Ekin Cheng's version of the blood demon--the bloodstain between the eyebrows!
This is a golden signboard!
Chen Xiaotang burst out laughing suddenly, such a subtle point can be thought of by himself, he is really a genius!
But the point between the eyebrows is really not easy to draw. If it is too bright and too big, it will become "Erlang God".

Chen Xiaotang patiently thought, took a cinnabar brush, pointed at the center of his eyebrows, and drew it over and over again. He didn't feel satisfied until he looked in the mirror for countless times.

………….
After finally putting back his attire, Chen Xiaotang felt his back was sweating. Looking at the time, in the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.It was too late to examine what was wrong with him, Chen Xiaotang flicked his red robe, and strode out of the dressing room.

The long hair fluttered, and the bloody robe rattled.

His face is paler than a zombie, and his eyeliner is blood red, which is frightening.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, the people outside were startled, seeing him, Zheng Shaoqiu patted his chest and said: "I choose, I thought I saw a ghost—A Tang, you...you kid has a hand! "

It turned out that when Zheng Shaoqiu saw that Chen Xiaotang hadn't come out for so long, he wanted to come over to see how the situation was, but he was startled by Chen Xiaotang immediately.
