Super star

When "Apocalypse" was released in China, I wanted to ask Ding Xi to do the promotion, but Ding Xi rejected it on the grounds that he was filming. The hearts of fans who liked him were almost broken.

Nima, as a star, besides filming all day long, can you have some other high-level fun?Let's not rest all day except filming, okay?

You are an entertainer, an entertainer!

It's a pity that Ding Xi seems to be still not conscious of being an artist. He has been shooting since he was seven years old.

The first film is now 17 years old. Over the years, he has made many films and is in this circle, but he seems to have half his foot outside the door.

"Is your "Blue Star Man" going to be released?" Lu Yi sat down and said to him.

Speaking of the crew of "North and North", Ding Xi wanted to play well with Yuan Yuejun, Ruan Zhuoming, Zhuang Ling, and You Zhen when he was a child. After all, it was the friendship accumulated in that reality show. Later, Yuan Yuejun went abroad to study and gradually faded away. After entering the entertainment industry, she also made a cameo appearance in the movie "North and North" every year. The older Ruan Zhuoming became, the smoother he was. Beauty, Jiang Jiajia, who was too shy to speak at that time, has become more confident and generous. Although the childhood friendship is still there, it is different after all.

Everyone has grown up, and time cannot stay in the best time forever.

That is to say, You Zhenke still has the same personality as when she was a child, with a sweet and delicate appearance, but in fact she is a hearty and tough "female man". The male and female protagonists of the series are of course the two most popular, but Lu Yi is different from others. He is not extroverted. Ruan Zhuoming said in private that Lu Yi is too boring. Indeed, he is such a person.

But Ding Xi has a good impression of this kind of "boring", because Lu Yi is the kind of person who is boring, but the acting is so realistic that he has to stand aside. This person also really likes acting, and his personality is not as good as Ruan Zhuoming's tactful sophistication, but rare in this circle, still retains a bit of true temperament.

Therefore, Ding Xi is willing to be friends with him.

"It's early. It's still in post-production. The tentative schedule is Christmas. This is a popular schedule in North America. The domestic release will probably be in the Spring Festival next year."

Lu Yi nodded, with a little envy in his tone, "It's good for you. Many of the roles you play are actually more impressive than Rong Yi, such as Chen Huisheng, and Tang in "Ice and Fire". Be fixed in this role."

Ding Xi patted him on the shoulder, "You are missing a good script."

To be honest, Lu Yi has not been playing these years. He has made more than one movie and tried several themes, but it is limited by his age, so it is difficult to get a leading role suitable for his age, and unfortunately , Several movies are not up to date, there is not much scolding, but there is no applause, and Lu Yi's role is not memorable, so that now people call him "Bei Bei" when they see him. If Lu Yi is that kind If he is content to enjoy this state, relying on the role of "Beibei", it is not difficult for him to live comfortably, but he is an ambitious actor who wants to work hard to be a good actor.

For example, You Zhenke is not as eager as Lu Yi. She can shoot commercials, participate in fashion shows, endorse, and appear in shows to increase her exposure. She won't care much about the salary, even if her role for the rest of her life is under the shadow of the drama "North and North".

Lu Yi is different from her.

"Oh, now I'm very cautious about accepting movies." If he makes some more... movies, his fans will run faster and faster.

Ding Xi nodded, "This kind of thing can't be rushed, the more urgent it is, the less likely it is to find a good script."

"I'm considering whether or not to accept director Liu Qi's next film."

"I only accept the play when I see the script."

Lu Yi was surprised, "Is it the whole script?"

"Ah."

...He finally understood why Ding Xi's movies almost never failed...

Lu Yi smiled wryly, "You can refuse the invitations of those big directors, but I can't bear it."

Anyway, I still have to hang out in this circle, unlike Ding Xi, whose mother is a big director and has a lot of contacts in the circle, and his father is a veteran film star, so everyone has to give some face.

In this circle, it's not enough just to like acting. When you offend too many people, no matter how talented and powerful you are, you won't be able to get along here.

Ding Xi smiled, "Transformation is not so easy, especially the Beibei you played is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, don't be too anxious, pick a good play."

Lu Yi also smiled, "I know." Then he looked at the reporter who was still outside the set and refused to leave, "Why, when do you plan to accept their interview?"

Ding Xi had no choice but to say, "Let's go."

There is still no way to escape, otherwise the media would never let it go, so he simply waited for a while until they were all gathered, and it would be over once, so as not to have to deal with another wave, which is too troublesome .

"Apocalypse" will be screened in the mainland soon, he hasn't seen the finished film yet, and he is still planning to attend the premiere, originally, according to his intention, just go to the premiere and say no?

But for the media, by then, it will be too slow.

In the past two years, Ding Xi can almost be described as being popular, although he himself thinks that the popularity is too inexplicable.

After dealing with the media, Ding Xi stayed in the crew of "North and North" for another month. After filming all his own scenes, he left the crew early. In the evening, and early the next morning, Ding Xi returned to Shanghai and flew directly to Los Angeles, even failing to catch up with the mainland premiere of "Apocalypse".

"Melinda" was about to start filming, so I didn't even need to bring my luggage home, I just packed it and got on the plane.

"Is that Ding Xi..." The two flight attendants whispered.

First class, a low-key black coat with a light gray thin sweater inside, jeans and canvas shoes, a head of soft hair with slightly curled ends, wearing sunglasses and sleeping in a chair, because he was covered with a blanket, and he slept on the plane again , covering most of the face, so I can't be sure.

It's not like ordinary celebrities who have to pay attention to face even on the plane. They have seen too many celebrities on the plane. Needless to say, female celebrities, male celebrities rarely wear makeup, of course, especially young ones Celebrities, older ones of course don't care, they have seen either that kind of idols, or ordinary...actors, they are not even considered capable, they are definitely not handsome, they still have a pink face on the plane.

Celebrities usually encounter this kind of situation, such as fans, or even passers-by secretly taking photos, or someone asks for a group photo. Therefore, to see the full makeup of a celebrity, it really depends on luck.

Ding Xi belongs to the type...when he's not on the show...doing makeup. Although Li Xinrong follows him all the way as his exclusive makeup artist, he doesn't even do hair styling, and he doesn't even wear a hat to cover it up. of.

"It must be. Look, isn't that Ding Xi's manager?"

As Ding Xi's manager, Wang Ke has been on camera many times.

"I want to ask him to sign for me. Do I have to wait until he wakes up?"

"...You can't go over there and wake him up."

"What if he doesn't wake up when he gets off the plane?"

"how is this possible!"

"How can it be impossible? I have liked Ding Xi for several years. When he is filming, he can take a 5-10 minute break and fall asleep quickly, okay?"

"..."

"I always feel that he won't wake up during the process." The stewardess said sadly.

The one next to her patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.

Then it became a prophecy...

He slept all the way from Shanghai to... Los Angeles!

He was still yawning until he was about to get off the plane. The stewardess who liked him couldn't bear to "wake him up" when he saw his sleepy appearance. Do you have!"

...Although the fans are all blind, the stewardess whose hand hurts from being scratched thinks that she is really cute...

Ding Xi is no stranger to Los Angeles now, and the business car drove straight to Hollywood. What he didn't expect was that he received another humbly phone call.

"You came to Los Angeles again?" Ding Xi was surprised, "You have so much business here?"

"Do you think those ghosts don't bother Lao Mei because of their face? Isn't that good? There are quite a lot of professionals like me in China, but not abroad, so it's normal for them to ask for foreign aid."

Ding Xi: "..."

"Haha, I'll call you in advance, if..."

"If you want to help? I have a lot of filming tasks recently." Ding Xi said, "And through the last cooperation, I always feel that you are professional, and your skin is quite crisp." Can you lie down in minutes?

Humbly said over there, "Hey, you found out! I'm a commoner mage in the first place, if my skin is not brittle, who is brittle?"

... Nima, do you think this is playing a game?

"Sorry I don't play games, I don't know what a mage is, thank you."

Humbly said hurriedly, "Just kidding! I will contact you when the time comes. Talk to me when you are free. If you are not free, there is nothing you can do."

Only then did Ding Xi agree.

After hanging up the phone, he always felt that he would probably "wait" until he was free after asking himself the time with humility and shamelessness.

"My friend's phone number?" Wang Ke casually asked while flipping through the documents.

Ding Xi gave a "hmm", and after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, and Wang Ke was too busy to listen to his calls.

After driving for another half an hour, we arrived at the studio where "Melinda" was expected to start filming.

The movie "Melinda" is adapted from a well-known fairy tale. In recent years, the adaptation of fairy tales has been quite popular. The prototype of Melinda is the little mermaid in the fairy tale "Daughter of the Sea" that almost everyone knows.

Ding Xi took this film because of the face of director Johnson, and as soon as he walked in, he immediately felt very friendly when he saw a few familiar figures, such as his friend Bruno, and the Oscar film director who had worked with him twice. After Emily.

"Tracey is here!" Director Johnson was also very enthusiastic about him.

Ding Xi had greeted everyone. Today was just a costume fitting, and it was not time for the official shooting, so the atmosphere was very relaxed. After chatting with Bruno for a few words, Director Johnson asked someone to take him to the fitting. Ding Xi saw that Seeing the scene in the dressing room, I couldn't help but sigh.

Another special effect makeup, he has already experienced the pitiful thing that it takes seven to eight hours to put on makeup, and now he has to go through it for the second time.

"Tracy!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ding Xi was surprised to find that Amanda Jody was also in this dressing room!

I have worked with her on the movie "The End of the World", and I can be regarded as getting along with her happily. I didn't expect to meet again so soon.

Amanda was putting on makeup, but she smiled heartily, "I heard that you accepted the movie, so I accepted it too."

Ding Xi didn't pay much attention to the news, especially when He Wanglan wasn't by his side, and Wang Ke was too busy to mention everything, so he really didn't know the girl who was finally booked by "Melinda" Who is the leading role, because a while ago, the female leading role was still a bit confusing in the reports of the North American media.

Originally, Ding Xi thought it was for the hype of the movie, but he only found out when he called Director Johnson last time... This is true. The female lead that he negotiated before asked for too much salary, and Director Johnson directly rejected it. , is looking for a new heroine.

Unexpectedly, the person in the final decision is Amanda.

Acquaintances are better than strangers. In "Apocalypse", they don't have much emotional interaction at all, but this time they have to play a real couple.

"Amanda plays Melinda, which is quite easy to read." Ding Xi joked.

Amanda also laughed, "It's just that makeup is too troublesome!"

That's right, makeup is not an ordinary trouble, because it is a movie adapted from a fairy tale. The whole movie is full of strange and magical colors, and the makeup of the characters is the same. This movie will use a lot of special effects makeup, including their Several leading actors.

Ding Xi played the role of the black-haired prince Augustus this time, and Emily, the actress, played his mother. This was purely for Johnson's sake. Although the second female human princess Vicky played Is a newcomer, but a

The newcomer who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars in the first film, this film can be regarded as star-studded.

The story "The Daughter of the Sea" is familiar to everyone, and the Little Mermaid is a complete tragedy in it. Although "Melinda" is adapted from this fairy tale, it can be said that the plot has undergone earth-shaking changes, because In this movie, there is no desperate and kind little mermaid in pursuit of love, only a blackened mermaid princess with magical powers.

Melinda is not kind, gentle, or naive. She is smart, strong, and cruel. Prince Augustus is not perfect. He uses superficial gentleness and elegance to cover up his deep, arrogant and indifferent heart. The human princess Vicky is not a good person. She has a sweet smile and a good demeanor, but is actually quite bad-tempered and ambitious.

...In short, the protagonists of this movie are not good people...=口=

The mermaid Melinda is charming and wise but cruel to the point of cruelty, the prince Augustus is unbearably arrogant and deeply obsessed with cleanliness, and the princess Vicky is beautiful and sweet but has a bad temper.

Anyway, each of them is very sick...

When Ding Xi saw the script, he thought it was amazing. Now that Amanda had completed most of her makeup, he suddenly had confidence in the movie.

Such a story is not only novel, but the whole structure is very complete and grand. Expanding a short fairy tale into a 120-minute movie, this eye-catching makeup alone is enough to arouse the topic.

"How?" Amanda said, turning her head halfway.

Ding Xi nodded, "It's beautiful."

He has already changed into the prince's clothes, and the white trousers wrap his slender waist. This is really a set of clothes that show his figure, because this is not the first time he has cooperated with Johnson, and the costumer on Johnson's side has Ding Xi's full size To be on the safe side, I asked for the exact number again half a month ago, and the clothes I made now are no different from tailor-made clothes.

Pure white European-style shirt, white trousers, white shawl with gold buttons——

Except for his black hair and black eyes, almost everything about the character of Augustus is white. This person has a deep cleanliness obsession, which is definitely worthy of the level of mental illness! =_=

Everyone says that black and white is a versatile color, but it is not true. Pure white clothes are very picky. It is a tragedy for many people to wear pure white. It is even more difficult to wear picks. Ding Xi As soon as the clothes were put on, the costume artist and stylist agreed repeatedly before the makeup was put on.

Next, it was a long time for makeup. A thin layer of prosthesis was pasted on the forehead, and then a row of fine obsidian was inlaid. This is a story of a magical world, even if Augustus and Vicky are human beings. , but their makeup still has the unique color of the magical world.

In order to express nobleness and grace, this movie is a little exaggerated from clothing to makeup. It is impossible in reality, but it will make the audience enjoy a visual feast in the movie.

The next day, the makeup photos were officially released. The release of three photos and two posters not only caused an uproar in North America, but also caused a new media bombardment in China.

Without him, because it is so amazing, it is worthy of being produced by the world's first-class special effects team. Such makeup skills have almost never been seen in domestic movies.

""Melinda" has a new visual impact, and Ding Xi's stunning look kicked off the curtain."

Ding Xi is not in China, but there are headlines about this everywhere.

Brother is not in the Jianghu, but there are legends about Brother everywhere in the Jianghu. =_=

And at this time, He Wanglan saw Ding Xi's "Augus", so when his eyes shifted to the heroine -

He felt very unhappy.
