Global Movie Emperor

The shooting location of the first scene was in a bar in the city. When Lu Ze and the two got off the bus, there were already many people watching around. Even though there were no celebrities in sight, there were only trucks unloading the props needed for the shooting. Since then, it has attracted many good people to record short videos.

Of course, it is not ruled out that they were attracted by the Pagani Zonda driven by the Fatini on the roadside.

Even though Italy is the hometown of major top sports cars, and cars in Europe are much cheaper than in China, such top brand sports cars are not affordable for ordinary people. Even like the Chinese people, they will feel fresh when they see one.

After saying hello to the staff, the two walked down the steps to the bar on the basement floor. Fatini sat on a chair and watched calmly without saying a word. The staff carrying the equipment couldn't help but move. A few minutes faster.

The overhead fan is blowing, and the circulating air is also working, but even so, the heat energy generated by the shooting equipment keeps the temperature in the entire space from being low, basically the same as outside.

"Man, tie up the thread here, it's too messy."

Various wires were laid together under the feet, making it a bit stumbling to walk. Fadini sat with his back in front and did not notice this problem. After hearing Lu Ze's greeting, he turned around and waved to the two of them, and walked into the bar. He took out a cup and poured a cup of coffee for the two of them.

"Didn't you say you were on time? Why did you come early?"

"You said so. If I don't come over, won't it look like I'm too lazy? Not only me, they all came over too, even earlier than me. It is said that they came here at eight o'clock to memorize their lines."

Faced with Lu Ze's teasing, Fatini did not fight back and pointed in the direction of the corner of the bar. Behind several flight boxes, there were indeed a few people lowering their heads and muttering something.

"I think you put too much pressure on them. Will there be any negative effects?"

Seeing those actors mumbling words as if they were in a daze, Lucas clicked his tongue and asked Lu Ze a question. Although he, a photographer, did not participate in the script workshop, he did learn from Fatini's words. I heard how Lu Ze tortured these poor children.

"No, if they can't handle this pressure, then they'd better not film. Everyone will encounter situations where the opposite actor is better than themselves. Including me, I have also been overpowered by others, but this is not the case. Reasons to back down.”

Lighting a cigarette, Lu Ze leaned against the bar and answered Lucas's question with a very serious expression. When he first debuted, he was also pressured by many big names. Perhaps the pressure those big names put on him was not as much as his. These actors were under a lot of pressure, but it was no different to Lu Ze. Even though the outcome of being compared was destined, escaping or facing the challenge were two different things. It was self-evident which kind of person he admired.

"You are really strict. I don't understand what your actors are doing. Forget it, I'm going to check the equipment."

Lucas didn't sit still for too long. He finished his coffee in one breath and then stood up to calculate the angle of the equipment placement. After all, no matter how perfect the design drawings were, they were only on paper. When the shooting actually started, it would definitely be different. There are some BUGs that need to be solved by him.

On the other side, the actors seemed to have seen Lu Ze's arrival, but for some unknown reason, they did not get up and come over to say hello immediately. Instead, they danced more devilishly, chanting lines in conjunction with the movements.

This slightly childish behavior was interesting. Lu Ze just smiled and didn't reach out to let them know that he had discovered them.

"How about you put on makeup first?"

Fatini reminded him. Lu Ze raised his watch and took a look. It was now 9:40 in the morning, and the shooting was expected to be at 1 in the afternoon. Then time was really starting to get tight. For a large area of ​​aging makeup, at least It took more than two hours to put on makeup. Without hesitation, he got up and asked the busy and sweaty secretary Fatini where the dressing room of the assistant director was, and then went straight to the backstage of the bar.

…

Compared to the front desk where the lights are fully turned on, the back is a bit dark. The walls are covered with posters of various musicians, and there are also many signatures written with correction fluid on the walls. From this point of view, this restaurant looks a bit old. A good bar should have a certain history and show its feelings unabashedly.

The further you walk through the corridor, the darker it becomes. But when you look deep into the corridor, the lights are still on, and you can hear the laughter of girls inside, and they don't know what interesting topics they are talking about.

It seemed that she heard footsteps, and her laughter quickly subsided. A blond girl in her twenties exposed half of her head, looked out of the corridor sideways, and met Lu Ze's eyes.

"ciao."

"ciao."

The two greeted each other in Italian, and she seemed to realize that it was not polite to look at people like this. Then, she came out of the room and stood at the end of the corridor, smiling and nodding to Lu Ze.

"Hello Mr. Lu, I am your fan."

"Thank you, can I come in?"

"Of course, please."

Entering the room, there were four girls in the room. After seeing Lu Ze, they all stood up and took the lead to say hello. As makeup artists in the performance industry, although the looks of these girls were not very beautiful, they were all pleasing to the eye and took the initiative to pull him over. They turned on the chair and turned on the mirror headlight. Since they had sat in this chair just now, perhaps they were worried that Lu Ze had mysophobia. They also carefully checked whether there was any hair on the chair. Finally, they covered it with a brand new seat back blanket and invited Lu Ze to Ze sat down.

"Who is responsible for taking care of me? How long will it take?"

"It's just the two of us. It takes about three and a half hours. The quick method requires the use of plastic wrap. Over time, it will cause sweating and makeup removal. Secondly, it is too stuffy. I am worried that you will not adapt, so I chose a more breathable method. The disadvantage is that you have to wait for it to dry, which takes about an hour.”

The blond girl just pulled the other girl and introduced herself to Lu Ze. Lu Ze quietly waited for the two girls to tie up their hair, put on hoods, wash their hands carefully, and put on disposable black plastic. Gloves, sprayed with some breath freshener, this set of personal hygiene preparations is worthy of recognition. Even if the facilities in the dressing room are not very good due to conditions at the moment, the working attitude of the two of them is worthy of being called professional.

Then came Lu Ze's cleaning work. Because he needed to redesign his hair style, washing his hair was also essential. After washing his hair, he started to wash his face, and then applied some skin care products to Lu Ze's face. Even though Despite the barrier of the gloves, Lu Ze could still feel the cold palms gently rubbing his face, which was quite comfortable.

The design of the hairstyle... is really difficult to describe. It is definitely a back, but the hairline needs to be shaved high, and then the hair is thinned, and then thinned again, until the scalp is thin enough that the scalp can be seen, and then sprayed with plant extracts. Use sexual hair dye spray to dye your hair white, and you can get a very classic Western hairstyle for elderly people with hair loss.

Then came the makeup part. Although it was the first time to do elderly makeup, the process was not as difficult as Lu Ze imagined. He only needed to apply a thin layer of something similar to dough, and then hand-painted the age spots and wrinkles. However, the old man in the mirror doesn't look real, especially the light spots on his face that are particularly eye-catching, but it doesn't matter, because the aging in this movie will be produced by a special effects company and will not rely entirely on makeup.

This is the disadvantage of makeup. It is difficult and takes a long time to apply makeup. It is difficult to make the face realistic. The probability of makeup coming off is high and it is more difficult to reapply makeup. Special effects can perfectly solve this problem. Nowadays, we are in a period of excessive special effects performance. In the era, making an aged face more realistic than "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was not a problem at all.

"great."

Although it is not realistic, the makeup is very suitable for a special effects company to take over. Lu Ze understands special effects, so this compliment is sincere, but the girls don't seem so happy, maybe because the makeup is not Let them show their full strength. When responding to Lu Ze's compliments, they looked a little forced to smile and be lonely.

After bidding farewell to the girls, he changed into his shooting clothes and returned to the front desk. At this moment, the bar was no longer messy, the wires were neatly arranged, and the bar decorations were replaced. Lu Ze walked behind Fatini and patted him gently. Shoulder.

"Warda! Do you want to scare people to death? But...it's not bad. You've entered the period of hair loss early. How do you feel?"

"hehe."

Lu Ze really doesn't want to talk to him now, because he has seen through it. This person is the type who gets more excited the bigger his reaction is. Although cutting his hair like this really makes him unhappy, in order to avoid seeing the law Tiny showed a mocking smile, but he still resisted the desire to hit people, and only used the word "hehe" instead of a thousand words.

"Okay, okay, no more joking, let's get ready and start shooting right away."
