    Historically, although the TV series "Mansion Gate" was very well received after it was broadcast, as the male protagonist Chen Baoguo acted flamboyantly, had a bit of a ruffian personality, and had a rebellious spirit, but in fact he had loyalty, filial piety and righteousness in his heart, and he dared to love, hate, and take responsibility.  , Bai Jingqi, who is still an upright man, acted as if he was alive.

    But the fly in the ointment is that he played Bai Jingqi in his youth. The wrinkles on his face and forehead lines made it difficult for the audience to believe that he was only in his twenties. In some scenes, even if his acting skills were superb, he still made up for the shortcomings in appearance.

    In this life, in addition to the original makeup artist Hu Yan, Xinyuan¡¯s ace makeup artist Mao Geping also participated in the crew.

    Only when filming "Wu Zetian", Mao Geping did makeup for Chen Baoguo, but it was not as superb as when he did Liu Xiaoqing's makeup. In the play, Li Zhi, played by Chen Baoguo, still looked a bit old when he was young.

    So, in this drama, in order to make Chen Baoguo look eighteen years old, the two makeup artists almost went bald.

    Because the background of the play is the late Qing Dynasty, it is necessary to shave your head, but considering that using a hood to pull the scalp and corners of the eyes can open some wrinkles and make you look younger, Chen Baoguo is the only actor in the play who does not shave his head. Like other actors in film and television dramas,  Nuns wear hoods like actresses.

    And because before the appearance of Lirenxing Beauty Salon, Mao Geping had visited beauty salons in Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea, and introduced some businesses appropriately according to the national conditions. Therefore, before Chen Baoguo joined the group for filming, he had some beauty treatments done on his face.  ; When filming, the lighting engineer used was the top lighting engineer hired from the Imperial Film Studio; therefore, although the final result was still somewhat unsatisfactory, it was much better than the historical result, at least Chen Baoguo's  The young man disguised himself and barely passed the test.

    Chen Baoguo¡¯s makeup is not easy to apply, let alone apply, so ordinary makeup artists and makeup artist assistants cannot get involved at all. Mao Geping is solely responsible for it.

    Standing outside the venue, watching Chen Baoguo filming scenes of his youth with other actors, Yuan Qiaoqiao walked to Mao Geping and asked with a smile: "Bai Qiye's makeup seems to be different from other people's makeup. From the surveillance camera,  I don¡¯t understand, but at the scene, it was very obvious, what kind of new cosmetics was he using, and what is its function?¡±

    At present, Mao Geping is no longer the general manager of Lirenxing Cosmetics Company, but he is still under the company's name because he is making his own makeup brand. Therefore, when Yuan Qiaoqiao saw the makeup on Chen Baoguo's face, she thought it was from him.  developed.

    Mao Geping shook his head, "No, he used oil paint, the kind commonly used in opera."

    Yuan Qiaoqiao was very surprised, "Ah, oil paint? Can that kind of thing be used in movies and TV dramas?"

    "Yes. When I was filming "Emperor Tang Ming", when I was applying makeup to Concubine Yang, in order to express the feeling of her skin being like cream, I used oil paint."

    Although Mao Geping didn't know that Yuan Qiaoqiao was Xinyuan's real boss, he knew about her relationship with Gu Huxin and wanted to use her to spread the word.

    "Actually, since I opened a beauty school in 1999, I have already said that I will not do makeup for film and television dramas. However, this time the company for the filming of "The Mansion" strongly invited me to come out, and only Chen Baoguo was given makeup, and no one else was involved.

    I thought that I would stop doing makeup for film and television dramas less than a year after I joined Xinyuan. The company didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, it strongly supported me in many things such as opening a school and establishing a personal cosmetics brand. So, I  Only then did he agree to take action.

    But this will never happen again.  Because this kind of makeup that pretends to be young is really difficult for both men and women to put on. Every time I put it on, I feel like my hair will be missing a lot. I don¡¯t have thick hair to begin with, but I¡¯m still young.  I don't want to go bald prematurely.  "

    Yuan Qiaoqiao knew that what he said was half true and half false. The true part was that he really didn¡¯t want to put on makeup for film and television dramas, and the false part was that the reason he gave was not the real reason.

    Although the top makeup artists in the industry have high status and income, his makeup skills, which are good at making people look younger, are even more popular among artists who rely on youth. However, if he can't do it well, he will not only  It will offend people.

    Because the person who can hire him, even if he is not a big name with strength and status in the industry, must be a resource person with a strong background. However, his makeup that "makes time go by" needs blessings from many aspects, such as back then.  When filming Wu Zetian, it was thanks to the combination of Yang Shuyun's styling and Li Jianqun's clothing, as well as the lighting and photography and other aspects of the crew's cooperation, as well as Liu Xiaoqing's appearance and acting skills, that she won the classic  The success of an old lady turning into a charming young girl.

    After that, Liu Xiaoqing filmed several movies one after another. He still acted young and did the makeup, but he couldn't cooperate in other aspects, so he was not well recognized by the audience.Later, she was ridiculed as a member of the "Girl Cult".

    In fact, Mao Geping's skills as a makeup artist are also top-notch, but the artists in the industry are more interested in him "dressing up" for them. After all, there are not many makeup artists with good skills, but his skills are unique, but  He feels that this craft is really easy to overturn. For example, after Liu Xiaoqing successfully played the role of Wu Zetian, she was not very recognized when she starred in the next few movies as a young girl.

    Since this makeup technique is not easy to do, and the probability of not doing it well is very high, and it is easy to offend people, then he might as well quit the film and television makeup industry to avoid causing trouble for himself. Besides, no matter how high the status of a film and television makeup artist is,  It was actually very hard to follow a group, and he was told what to do. After many years of living like this, he was tired of it. Therefore, running a school and developing cosmetics not only made him feel comfortable, but also gave him a sense of accomplishment.

    Yuan Qiaoqiao didn't particularly understand Mao Geping's mentality of quitting the film and television makeup industry, but he just stopped doing it and did not stop helping Xinyuan cultivate film and television makeup talents. She was not a pushy person, so she could hear the meaning in his words.  With a sense of rejection, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is no such thing as 'a cow is forced to press its head if it doesn't drink water' in this world, the company will not force you.

    However, although the company can help you block external requests, after the show is broadcast, it will probably create a craze like "Wu Zetian" back then. Therefore, when this drama is scheduled to be aired, you'd better  Leave the Imperial Capital to avoid the limelight, whether you go to the Magic Capital or hide in the makeup school you run in Hangzhou.  "

    Her words were not without purpose.

    Although in later generations, the public has been using "boy teaching" and "girl teaching" to ridicule those artists who are older and whose appearance is obviously not suitable, but they refuse to accept their age and force themselves to pretend to be young, which makes the audience feel irritated after watching it.  , in fact, this matter did not start when the public picked it up. It has existed since the film and television industry. However, the media was not developed before, and the public was not familiar with the old artists of the previous generation and was not very interested in them.  , I didn¡¯t pick it up, so most people don¡¯t know the history of them pretending to be young.

    Because most of the products in Asian culture are relatively young, compared to Europe and the United States, mature women style is not popular. And although they have always said that they are "evergreen trees in the art world", in fact, there are still a few who can truly be "evergreen".  , after most artists reach a certain age, they have to withdraw from the industry because the market is getting narrower and narrower. Therefore, for artists, it is indeed a profession that relies on youth.

    Therefore, in the hands of artists who hold the first-hand resources, they are reluctant to quit. Therefore, Mao Geping's technology that can "turn decay into magic" and rejuvenate people's appearance is naturally sought after by people, and during this time period, and "  The time after the broadcast of "Wu Zetian" cannot be compared. Therefore, even if Xinyuan is blocking the way, Mao Geping still needs to avoid it.

    Mao Geping didn't trust her words, not only because he didn't know she was the real boss, but also because of her age. He was also worried that the company would use his skills to replace resources, but he still smiled and said: "Okay, I will avoid it then."  avoid."

    Seeing that his words were insincere, Yuan Qiaoqiao did not give any guarantee. She smiled and changed the topic to work, "Brother Mao, the first batch of makeup artists you brought to Xinyuan studied for more than a year and almost two.  It¡¯s almost 20 years, can they start training now?¡±

    "Then it depends on what standard is used to measure graduation?

    They studied with me for half a year, and then they were arranged by the company to start practicing, and they went to the set to do makeup for people. However, these people's talents were average and their thinking was somewhat rigid. Their craftsmanship could only be said to be okay, barely adequate.  But I think it¡¯s far from enough to instigate the entire crew¡¯s makeup alone, but Mr. Tan and Mr. Chen think it¡¯s okay.  "

    ¡°There are no good talents among that batch of people, so where is your makeup school?¡±

    "nor."

    After hearing what he said, Yuan Qiaoqiao was disappointed.  As there were no restrictions on taking on roles, she wanted to organize her team. Originally, she had thought that her makeup artist would have to come from Xinyuan or Mao Geping's makeup school, but it seemed that she would have to hire someone else.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
