Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

“You are the most beautiful.”

In Xu Damao's opinion, these words were just ordinary compliments, mostly for encouragement.

When he said this, he suddenly thought of the scene in "Shaolin Soccer" where "Mighty King Kong Leg" held "Amei"'s shoulders and said, "You are the most beautiful." Although Liu Lan's makeup looked good, it was made of charcoal and rouge paper after all, and was a little rough.

But in the eyes of everyone, especially Liu Lan, this was like a bombshell.

Drawing eyebrows for a woman with your own hands and then saying that she is the most beautiful, the meaning of this is self-evident.

No wonder Xu Damao looks more and more obscene recently. Does he have some idea?

Otherwise, why would he pull Liu Lan out from the cafeteria to be his partner?

Everyone seemed to have discovered some secret. It seemed that the rumors in the factory were not groundless!

Liu Lan's face instantly turned red - [Is he really interested in me? Doesn't he have a wife? Why is he still so fickle! Hate it! ]

[Should I obey, or should I refuse and then obey again? ]

[Oh my, what am I thinking about! ]

When Li Huaide looked at the shy Liu Lan, he suddenly felt that it was too late. Why didn't he discover such a good talent earlier?

But since it was chosen by Brother Damao, as the elder brother, I must not touch her, and I must protect her! It is a must!

"Da Mao, look at my makeup..."

After seeing Xu Damao's makeup skills, what do you think of what you and others are doing?

Originally, everyone's makeup was based on theatrical costumes, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a dignified look. However, Liu Lan's light makeup looked simple, but it gave her a sense of nobility that was independent and aloof from the world, the kind of noble temperament that came from her bones.

It doesn't matter if everyone is wearing theatrical makeup, because everyone is the same, and they are all following the style of model operas, it's just that some are painted better and some are painted worse.

But now compared with Liu Lan, we have all become clowns, which is not acceptable!

Must redraw!

Xu Damao looked at everyone's eager eyes. What else could he do? Come on!

Anyway, there is still time, and my own show is coming up, so there is still enough time.

So Xu Damao simply repainted all the makeup at his factory and processed it according to the order of their appearance on the show.

I am a graduate of digital media and I have to shoot a short film for assignment. How could I not be able to do simple makeup?

Did I read all those little red books in vain?

A mediocre makeup artist Xu Damao VS the professional stage makeup of the cultural troupe;

This time, it’s 55-!

Although he was a little tired, as soon as Li Huaide put on his makeup, some people came over to compliment him: "Director Li, you look like a department-level leader! Extraordinary!"

"Hey, Chief Huang looks like a department-level leader at the very least!"

"Sister Zeng, with this painting, you have become a female general! So heroic!"

"You must at least be the daughter of an official family..."

"You drew it yourself? It looks like a little maid..."

"roll!"

"..."

----------------

Xu Damao also went to see the performances being performed outside. It must be said that the art troupe was indeed very professional - professional model operas, a mixture of ballet + modern dance + Peking opera, "The Red Detachment of Women", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", chorus of red songs, etc.

If there were no comparison with later culture, those in front of us now could be regarded as the current national team, because in early 1959, when there was no Spring Festival Gala, the Art Troupe of the Ministry of Metallurgy could be regarded as the first echelon.

But there is no harm without comparison. Looking at this now, it seems a bit out of place. The essence of modern dance is not shown. The ballet is matched with the gongs and drums of Beijing opera, and the slim-fitting military green clothes are too clean...

The costumes and makeup always make people feel out of place.

Xu Damao also understood that this was the current style, and there was nothing he could do about it. He recalled the scene in Farewell My Concubine where Cheng Dieyi explained the play to college students, and felt that it was somewhat similar to the current situation, where a good Peking opera had been changed into this... Alas.

But I have to say...the figure and movements are really good!

And the lead dancer, although her face is not clear due to the heavy makeup, her bone structure cannot be concealed! And don't forget that Xu Damao majored in digital media, was an art student in high school, and spent at least half a year drawing human figures in college. No matter how much you wear, you can still see through her skeleton and muscle structure at a glance——

It takes at least 20 years of practice to do this split!

She must have a lot of “knowledge” that she “understands”!

will not?

Want to learn? I'll teach you.

Xu Damao was taking a break from his busy schedule and "peeking" at the backstage curtain, and Li Huaide also came over.

"What's up? You've picked one again. Do you want me to introduce you to one?"

He teased Xu Damao with a chuckle.

Xu Damao rolled his eyes at him. Why do I look so impatient? Or is it that everyone can see that I am dissatisfied with Y recently?

Have you been holding it in for too long? So your appearance is determined by your heart?

"Brother Li, please stop teasing me. I am just appreciating it. I am an artist."

Li Huaide didn't expose him, but he secretly criticized him in his heart - [Your eyes are as if you want to eat me alive, and you are an artist, so you admire me? ]

[Who would believe it if I told them? ]

"By the way, Brother Li, your show is almost on. Have you informed everyone about the subwoofer issue? There won't be any controversy then, will there?" Xu Damao asked worriedly. That was the trump card of him and others, and it couldn't be judged as invalid in the end, otherwise all their efforts would be in vain.

"Don't worry, my brother will take action and it will be absolutely safe."

"During a previous meeting, in front of so many leaders, I even asked several other cadres from factories under the Ministry of Metallurgy to borrow professional musicians from the art troupe, but they refused. As a second choice, we asked them to borrow the instruments and play them ourselves, but they still refused."

"They also said that these are all part of their performance and cannot be loaned out!"

Xu Damao complained in his mind: [Part of the performance? I think this is part of the plan. Why are you pretending?]

"The art troupe told us to solve the problem on our own. Even if we organize a professional orchestra or something, that is our own ability. They will never have any objection to it."

"They said that musical instruments are just guns they use in war. We didn't even prepare guns when we went to the battlefield. We can only blame ourselves for our incompetence."

"That made Director Yang and several leaders of subordinate factories very angry...tsk tsk tsk tsk." Li Huaide said sarcastically while imitating Xu Damao's "appreciation" of dance.

However, Xu Damao was secretly thinking in his heart -

[If I can use my own "weapons", the other party won't have any objections - then this wave is safe again! ]

[I will show you what a groundbreaking dimensionality reduction strike is! ]

……

Soon, the modern dance performance of the art troupe ended. When leaving the stage, the lead dancer snorted at Xu Damao, "You hooligan!"

Xu Damao was confused. There were 2000 people watching you do splits while dancing? It's not just me.

There's an old scoundrel next to me, why does he only call me a gangster?

unfair!
