Chapter 182 Magical Makeup Technique
The next morning, Han Jin received a message from producer Liang Jiashu.[][].[23][wx].[] The premiere ratings of "Golden Date" were 31 o'clock. Although it was not as high as the ratings of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", it was rare for a newcomer like Han Jin.
Seeing the message from Liang Jiashu, Han Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"A Jin, what makes you so happy?" Zhao Yazhi was awakened by the sound of the pager. When she opened her eyes, she looked happy and couldn't help but sit up and put her arms around his shoulder.
"Ji, Sister Zhi, look, our "Golden Date" has 31 o'clock ratings." Han Jin smiled and said, "How is it, isn't it good?"
"Yeah, it's really good." Zhao Yazhi nodded.
The ratings at 31 o'clock are 50,000 people, which means that 1.5 million people watched "Golden Date" in Hong Kong yesterday, which is really a very good result.
"A Jin, congratulations on your first time as a starring actor, you have achieved such good results." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.
"Thanks to Sister Zhi, your support is real." Han Jin also smiled and said, "Okay, I should go to work, you can continue to rest."
"Well, then will you come tonight?" Zhao Yazhi grabbed Han Jin's neck of clothes and said reluctantly.
"I will call you if I come or not, don't worry." Han Jin smiled and then left Zhao Yazhi's villa.
...
After two notices in the morning, in the afternoon, Han Jin followed his agent Li to Shaw Brothers set.
Today is the audition for "The Frog Prince". Han Jin needs to use makeup, costumes and acting skills to make up for the gap in his age.
After arriving there, in addition to Huang Jiaxi and Wang Jing whom he had met before, there was also a very beautiful beauty - Chung Chuhong.
"Ms. Zhong is here to audition today, so you two can give it a try." Huang Jiaxi introduced.
Han Jin nodded, "Hello Miss Zhong, I'm glad to have the opportunity to work with you this time."
"Oh, don't be so polite." Chung Chuhong smiled and shook hands with Han Jin.
"Okay, let's not chat anymore. Let's go put on makeup first and see how it works." Wang Jing said. "A Cai. Please help Han Jin put on makeup first and make him mature."
"Okay." A makeup artist immediately took Han Jin to the dressing room and helped him take care of him.
The makeup method in the 1980s was relatively simple. The way to make actors grow old is usually by sticking their beards, wrinkles, etc. If the elderly want to become younger, they usually shaved their beards and then stretched their skin with tape and smoothed the wrinkles.
This kind of local method is simple and cost-effective. It is undoubtedly a very practical method for a movie factory like Shaw, which operates through streaming operations. This makeup artist named A Cai also used this method. He helped Han Jin stick two beards under his nose, and then helped him get a few wrinkles on his face.
At first glance, it seems that I am a lot older, but when I look closely, I have many mistakes. If I take a long shot, I can see it, but I will definitely not be able to pass the close-up shot.
When Han Jin finished his makeup and walked out, Huang Jiaxi and Wang Jing shook their heads, "No, no, the makeup is too rough and can't fool the audience. A Cai, come again."
"Brother Xi, you also know my skills. This is already very attentive. If you want to make it more detailed, you have to ask the ghost guy to help from the United States." A Cai spread his hands and said in embarrassment.
"This..." Huang Jiaxi and Wang Jing couldn't help but hesitate when they heard this.
The drama "Frog Prince" is just a small investment movie. The total cost is only more than HK$3 million, and every place is QQ. How can I get money to hire a makeup artist from the United States?
"It seems that the problem cannot be solved by applying makeup." Huang Jiaxi sighed, intending to tell Han Jin that the audition failed.
At this time, Han Jin laughed and said, "Producer Huang, Director Wang, don't have to make a conclusion first, give me half an hour, is that okay?"
Wang Jing and Huang Jiaxi were stunned, "What, do you have a way?"
"I'll know then." Han Jin smiled and asked A Cai again, "Brother, how about borrowing your cosmetics?"
"If you want to use it, use it. It's all from the company anyway. But do you really know how to put on makeup? Don't do it randomly. That's not a joke. Many cosmetics cannot be used randomly." A Cai waved his hand and said.
Han Jin smiled, "Don't worry, I know. You guys wait for me outside first, remember not to come in." After that, he turned around and entered the dressing room, using A Cai's cosmetics, and helped him put on makeup in front of the mirror.
No one knew what he was doing, they were all waiting outside in confusion.
"Do you know Han Jin knows how to put on makeup?" Wang Jing asked Li Jin curiously.
Li Jin shook his head, "I have never heard him mention it."
Wang Jing frowned, "Is he really good at it? Don't show off?"
"Ajing, don't worry, wait and see before talking." Huang Jiaxi waved his hand.
Wang Jing nodded, but was worried about Han Jin in his heart. Even a skilled makeup artist like A Cai had no choice but to ask someone from the United States to help with makeup. Can this kid be even more powerful than A Cai?
Several people sat outside the dressing room and waited, and for half an hour, they couldn't help but feel bored.
Just when everyone could no longer bear it, the door of the dressing room suddenly opened and then walked out alone.
This person looks very similar to Han Jin, but he looks a little more mature than him, just like his older brother.
The king stood up suddenly, "Are you Han Jin?!" He pointed at the man and asked in surprise.
"It looks so much like it." Huang Jiaxi couldn't help but clap his hands. Han Jin's makeup was really great. He looked like he was five or six years older.
"Wow, brother, where did you learn the makeup skills? Can you teach me?" A Cai saw that Han Jin had just taken half an hour to transform himself into such a realistic way, and even he could not meet his skills. If he learned this skill, he would basically be the only one in Hong Kong. Will he still have a strong job in the future?
Thinking of this, A Cai felt a little regretful. Why didn’t he go into the dressing room just now? In that way, he could see with his own eyes how he put on makeup.
Han Jin smiled. He came from the next thirty years later, and his makeup skills were much better than now. Celebrities could easily do it whether they were young or old.
Celebrities pretend to be young to keep their faces from fading, and they always act to challenge their acting skills. Many viewers recognize the acting skills of celebrities playing old, which made it a trend of playing old in TV and movies for a period of time. In "The Dream of Children's Dream", Liu Dehua even acted from a child until he was gray-haired.
The makeup technique of pretending to be old looks incredible, but in fact there are only a few tricks. To put it bluntly, it is not difficult at all. However, these techniques have been explored over and over again by countless makeup artists. In the 1980s, they were basically the secret of Hollywood.
"Producer Huang, Director Wang. I look like this now. It should be OK, right?" Han Jin smiled.
"Well, it's not bad, it's not bad. If you stand with Miss Zhong like this, you won't look so unmatched." Huang Jiaxi nodded and said, "A Jing, what do you think?"
"I think it's almost done. Miss Zhong, please stand with A Jin for a while." Wang Jing said with a smile.
Chung Chuhong nodded and stood with Han Jin.
Originally, the two were five or six years apart, and standing together would make people feel inconsistent. But now the two are standing together, they are very harmonious. The age is equal, the handsome man and the beautiful woman make Wang Jing and others nodded.
"Very good, very good." Wang Jing smiled, "A Jin, you really have a skill. This is the first time I have seen such a brilliant makeup technique, which is indeed amazing."
Han Jin smiled, "Director Wang has been awarded for the award, just a little trick, and he can't be treated like anything. Appearance is just a skinny look, and I think acting is the most important thing."
Wang Jing clapped his hands and nodded in agreement, "It's right, it's right. Okay, then you can read this script first. Wait until you perform with Miss Zhong later. If you pass the test, there should be no problem."
Wang Jing said, took out the script from his arms and handed it to Han Jin and Chung Chuhong.
The two of them took it and saw it. After Han Jin and Chung watched the movie, Han Jin sent Chung home. They wanted to kiss at the door but didn't dare to kiss. Finally, they finally plucked up the courage to kiss, but accidentally kissed Chung's mother, which made it very embarrassing.
"Do you all know this scene?" Wang Jing asked with a smile.
Han Jin and Chung Chuhong both nodded. This scene was not difficult to understand, but he just met Chung Chuhong today and was about to act in such a kissing scene in less than an hour. He really felt a little embarrassed.
To be honest, Cherie Chung is indeed a very beautiful woman, the most popular actress in the 1980s. She is regarded as the "Marilyn Monroe" in Hong Kong, and is known as "Xia Yufanghong" together with Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu and Mei Yanfang.
If it was his own woman, Han Jin would not get tired of kissing from morning to night, but now she is a relatively strange woman. If she wants him to kiss her like this, she always feels a little embarrassed.
Cherie Chung is a very experienced senior. Although she has only been in the industry for a few years, she has made so many movies. She has released five movies last year alone.
She has accumulated a lot of experience and has already trained her courage. She has performed even more embarrassing love bath scenes, let alone this little kiss scene. Besides, she didn't really kiss her, but she just did it, so there was no pressure for her.
"Miss Zhong, are you ready?" Wang Jing asked Chung Chuhong with a smile.
"I'm ready, director." Chung Chuhong nodded with a smile.
"A Jin, where are you?" Wang Jing asked Han Jin again.
Hearing Wang Jing’s question, Han Jin took a deep breath, “Director, I’m almost done.”
"Well, then start. Remember this scene, you want to perform the shy, embarrassing, and squeezing feeling, just like the first time a young boy confesses his love to someone he likes." Wang Jing inspires him.
Han Jin nodded, "I understand, director."
"Okay, God Ike~" the king cried.
"Wait~" Han Jin shouted hurriedly.
"What are you doing?!" Wang Jing asked in confusion.
But Han Jin stretched out a finger and said, "Director, give me one minute first."
Wang Jing couldn't help scratching his head, feeling very surprised, but he still waved his hand, "Okay, I'll give you a minute to prepare, hurry up."
Han Jin nodded, suddenly gasped, then suddenly closed his mouth and pinched his nose.
Everyone looked at him in confusion, wondering what the hell was doing.
After more than ten seconds, Han Jin's face gradually began to turn red because of his breath, as if he was drunk or a blush caused by embarrassment and shyness.
Everyone suddenly realized it as soon as they saw it, thinking that this method was simple, and Han Jin was really a bit of a trick.
"Director, it's OK." Han Jin quickly let go of his hand and took a few breaths of air, and his face became more and more rosy.
"Okay, God of Ike~" Wang Jing nodded and shouted loudly. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
