Tom Cruise watched as the elevator floor stopped at "three". After the elevator door opened, he walked out. The dazzling array of clothes immediately came into view. Several gantry frames were placed in the corridor, covered with retro costumes from the 1980s. The assistants, stylists, hairstylists and bodyguards followed closely behind him also came out one after another. The assistant had already walked to Tom first and led the way ahead.

Walking down the corridor, then stop in the fifth office on the right. The spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling glass doors clearly saw all kinds of clothing inside. The staff inside were coming and going. Tom looked back and his bodyguards automatically retreated and skillfully went to the floor lounge. This is the office building of Paramount Pictures, so their work is relatively relaxed.

Tom led his other three staff members into the room and looked around, but did not see Lance. His assistant had already come forward to inquire about the situation. Today is the day for the cast to set up makeup by "Borrowing a Knife and Killing". Each actor needs to determine the hairstyle, costume, makeup and other related details based on the role, which is also a crucial part of the actor's performance.

Because Tom's supreme status and the film's most undisputed first male lead, his test set-up time was arranged separately. At this time, there were no other actors in the room except the staff. However, even Lance did not appear, and Tom couldn't help but be surprised.

At this time, the assistant came over with a tall and thin man. The man was wearing a white shirt and a dark green bow tie, and was dressed as a British gentleman in a neat manner. He wore a black earring on his earlobe, which complemented the pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The man showed a polite smile. "Hello, Mr. Cruise, I am Edgar-snow, the crew's stylist, and will be responsible for your styling today." The man's friendly look left a good impression on Tom, "Lance told me in advance. You have your own ideas and ideas for the character, so we can communicate first and then draw up a suitable plan."

Since Vincent's character is very special, he is a professional killer. As we all know, a professional killer must be less noticeable. Even if he runs into the crowd, he must quickly disappear into the surging, which is the most suitable for assassination work. However, Tom's appearance is too conspicuous, so he must hide his appearance characteristics through changes in his makeup and hair, and even install a prosthesis to change his face shape if necessary.

For example, Nicole Kidman installed a fake nose in "All and Moments", which almost made people unable to recognize her. In the end, she won the Oscar-winning actress Little Golden Man; for example, Charlize Theron was completely unrecognizable in "Female/Devil", and her crazy performance also made her win the Oscar.

Appearance should be part of the acting skills.

Bringing stylists and hair stylists to the scene, on the one hand, does not trust the crew members. On the other hand, it also sticks to Tom's own ideas, which is the standard equipment for almost all front-line actors. Even if you are ugly, you must ensure that your image on the screen will not disgust the audience.

Tom nodded, and under Edgar's guidance, he came to the sofa group next to the room. The group sat down one after another. At this time, another assistant came over and stood next to Tom's assistant and asked in a low voice, "What does Mr. Cruise need? Tea or coffee? Or something else?"

When Tom heard the question, he raised his head and glanced at the assistant. He was a short round and capable person. However, his palm-sized face was covered by the frameless glasses. The thick lenses were really too eye-catching. There was a hint of honesty in his honesty, and his slightly lowered vision was a little restrained and dull.

Just a glance, the rough impression flashed through my mind, and Tom said loudly, "Just give me a bottle of mineral water, don't unscrew the lid." Then he looked back at his stylist and hair stylist, who both asked for coffee.

The assistant turned and retreated, and Tom's assistant also sat down. Edgar then said, "Lance introduced me to Vincent before, and I have read the biography of this character, so I designed several different images. However, before I show my achievements, I think I should listen to your opinions first."

Tom raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. The name Edgar Snow is not famous in Hollywood. Of course, it is not easy for a stylist to make a name for himself. Moreover, Lance's previous two works have nothing to do with styling, so when he heard that the stylist of the crew was provided by Chaos Pictures, Tom was very worried. He even prepared to argue with Tom today. But unexpectedly, Edgar took the lead in showing goodwill as soon as he came up and showed sincerity. This was a good start.

Tom nodded and began to express his thoughts in a low voice. After a while, a bottle of mineral water appeared on the table, and then coffee appeared again. Tom did not pay any attention and was still depicting his idea of ​​Vincent. But at this moment, the coffee cups accidentally collided, and then with a crisp sound, the coffee poured down.

Tom stood up reflexively to prevent coffee from pouring on his pants and shoes, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Apologizing followed. Tom raised his head and saw the assistant just now. He looked at Tom with an apology, then looked at the other person sitting next to him, apologizing repeatedly.

Tom couldn't help frowning slightly, and a light flashed in his mind, but it was fleeting and there was no time to catch it. The assistant turned around, picked up the paper, and began to wipe the coffee stains on the table. Edgar also stood up and apologized, "I'm really embarrassed, the assistant is clumsy."

Tom waved his hand, and then he saw the assistant standing upright and handing a tissue. Tom was stunned when he looked at the other person. There was a blue rippling behind the thick lenses, and the light in his mind flashed again. At this moment, he finally noticed an abnormality. The assistant in front of him looked very familiar. He felt this way when he first met, so he looked at the other person twice, but for a moment he couldn't say one, and this feeling once again came to his heart.

"No, no, it's okay." Tom waved his hand subconsciously, "My body didn't splash." He wanted to look at the assistant seriously - it was not a strange thing to meet someone he knew. Tom has been in Hollywood for twenty years, and he met no ten thousand or eight thousand people, and he would meet acquaintances everywhere. But today this feeling is very strange. Tom always wants to look up and take a closer look at the eyes hidden behind the lens.

But the other party turned his head again and handed a tissue to Tom's accompanying stylist and hairstylist, leaving only a side face to Tom. Then Tom heard his companion complaining, "Even coffee is unstable. Are you sure you are suitable for an assistant job? For God's sake, fortunately this suit was not wet." Although it was not arrogant, the tone of complaint was very obvious.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The assistant bent over slightly and apologized again with restraint and uneasy. The slightly low and hoarse voice was filled with a strong sense of uncertainty - yes, it was uncertainty, not timidity or fear, but an uncertainty that was neither up nor down.

"Lancelot?" Tom said this name incredibly, and his brain blurted out before reason. After he said it, his first reaction was "I'm crazy." But after thinking about it seriously, Tom leaned forward again, looked forward, and said in a shocked voice again, "Lancelot!"

Now, everyone was stunned and looked at Tom with confusion, and then at the assistant in front of him.

The assistant slowly stood up straight, and the smile at the corner of his mouth gently outlined, as if he had witnessed the blooming of the cerebral cereus with his own eyes. The buds were opened in his sight layer by layer. The cramped and cautious cautious ginger melted and dissolved in the smile. Then he took off his eyes, and the eyes as bright as stars appeared in front of him, and it was Lance!

Everyone took a breath, and Tom's team standing opposite him became at a loss for a moment.

Lance chuckled at Tom and shook his head, "So, you still recognize me."

"God, God!" Tom's eyes were about to fall off, "You have been swaying in front of me for so long, and I only recognize it now!" What's even more ridiculous is that except for a pair of glasses under a bottle, Lance did not have any other disguise, and he did not recognize it for the first time.

After looking up and down at Lance's outfit, Tom realized that Lance had changed into work clothes. The dark blue color was not too ostentatious, nor was it deliberately low-key. It was similar to other cleaners or guards, which was easy to ignore. The short black hair was shaved directly, leaving only a thin layer, like a green lawn. Although people said that they would become a person after changing their hairstyle, it was still too incredible. Lance, who had a round inch, had no previous elegance and gentlemanly style, and he looked tough. Even if he was a soldier, there was absolutely no problem. More importantly, Lance completely restrained his eye-catching temperament, as simple as a raw stone, completely hidden under the glasses.

It turns out that changing one's style can really change a person's temperament, and acting skills can really achieve the goal of being completely transformed. It's like many people don't believe that Nicole has changed into another person in "always and moments" after installing a fake nose; Tom couldn't believe that Lance in front of him had such a drastic change.

After a closer look, Lance was still the one with sparse and bright eyes like stars in the sky, as if the illusion I just now was like a dream. "So, is this your look in the movie?" Tom suddenly realized.
