I really can't stand him crying [entertainment circle]
Chapter 14 Taking pictures
In the evening, the four of them had dinner together again, listening to Zong Ji share his experience of filming in the past two months, and analyze what he should do next.
"Can I continue playing tricks?" Zong Ji bit his chopsticks, and now there is no crew looking for him. If he doesn't play tricks, it's hard to play at home and wait for the opportunity to hit him on the head himself.
"No, no." Sun Gui organized his words, but he didn't know what to say, so he pushed Liu Wang, "You come."
"What we mean is that you have already played a supporting role in a movie. You may become popular when the movie is released. You don't want to take on the tricks like before. We have to connect with high-quality ones, understand."
"Also, the most important thing now is to make the character card first. If any crew is openly looking for actors, you can send the character card to the other party's email address, just like submitting a resume when looking for a job." In terms of knowledge, it's Brother Cheng most abundant.
"In addition, if you find a chance, ask Director Xu if he can give you a few clips that can be sent to other people to watch. If possible, you can attach the video when you distribute the character card, which can also increase the pass rate."
Zong Ji had learned it all: "I'll do it when I get back."
In fact, Brother Cheng said, it's better for Zong Ji to sign with a brokerage company. After signing with a brokerage company, these trivial matters can be handed over to the broker. He only needs to concentrate on acting well.
"Fengxia, Tianyu, and Nam Kwong are well-known entertainment companies in China, but the competition is also high. It is difficult for a manager to manage several artists, and it is difficult to achieve a smooth balance."
Zong Ji and Liu Wang couldn't even eat after hearing this, and looked eagerly at Brother Cheng, hoping that he would tell a little more about the inside story of the entertainment industry.
In short, signing a company has the advantages of signing a company, and not signing also has the advantages of not signing.
"Then I'll wait and see." Zong Ji's current inclination is not to sign with the company, and he can do it by himself for the time being.
Liu Wang, on the other hand, firmly remembered the companies that Brother Cheng said he could not sign with, and he was determined not to let his brother go into those muddy waters.
Zong Ji checked how to get an actor's character card. First, he needs a few photos, preferably both modern and ancient ones, so that the casting director can easily judge whether he fits the character image.
Like many actors nowadays, the modern look is mediocre, but they are particularly stunning when they put on ancient costumes. If the ancient costumes are not brilliant, the modern costumes have a special taste.
Of course, there are also those that are very eye-catching in modern and ancient times.
"This has to be good-looking." Liu Wang said in a serious tone, "It can't be casual. I will ask you later which photography studios are good at taking artistic photos. Let's choose more, and the price is secondary."
Knowing that Zong Ji was going to shoot a character card, Director Xu also sent him a file, which contained stills of him in Blooming.Although Blooming has not yet finished, and there is still more than half a year before the release, there are already Reuters pictures on the Internet, and the looks of the actors are not secrets.
"Try to shoot different styles, there is no need to repeat, let the director see your plasticity."
There are also Zong Jiyao's videos, but they only cut the scenes of him alone, and the plot will not be revealed in advance.Zong Ji thanked Director Xu and continued to read the materials.
"You want to take a photo of the character card?" Zhou Jiajia also got the news, and she directly solved Zong Ji's biggest problem, "I have a photo studio at home. If you go over and take photos, I will give you a discount."
Zhou can always invest 2000 million yuan to make a movie for Zhou Jiajia, and it seems normal to have a photo studio.
If Zhou Jiajia said that Zong Ji might not go for free, but if there is a discount, then there is no need to worry about it.
With Zhou Jiajia opening the back door for them, Zong Ji skipped the queuing procedure and scheduled the photo shoot on Wednesday. As for the price, it was close to [-]% off the cost price.
Zhou Jiajia repeatedly assured him that the price would not be a loss, and Zong Jicai felt relieved.
However, the photo studio is really good money!
Zhou Jiajia's photo studio is called Silhouette, and there is a branch in Tianhe Plaza.I have to say that Tianhe Plaza is really comprehensive, it has everything.
On Wednesday morning, Zong Ji went to the photo studio alone. Liu Wang was busy and said that he would try his best to come if there was time.
After showing his ID, Zong Ji was taken to the reception area of the photo studio to sit down, and the makeup artist took the photo album and came over to communicate with him for the photo shoot.Zong Ji, a person who has never even used facial cleanser, has no idea how to choose.
"Then why don't you leave it to me to decide?" Seeing that he was a little stiff, the makeup artist simply closed the album, "Your bones are very beautiful, which gave me a lot of new inspiration."
The make-up artist named Tang Cai painted exquisite makeup on his face, and he was indistinguishable from male and female at first glance. Zong Ji could only tell from his voice that he was a male.
Tang Cai's tone was impatient: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"
"Then I'll trouble you." Zong Ji didn't refuse any more, and let Tang Cai do his best.
"Xiaoya, take this younger brother to wash your face." He stretched out his hand and called a girl with a high ponytail, then looked at Zong Ji, "I'll go pick out clothes for you first."
After speaking, he pushed a clothes rack into the clothing room of the photo studio.
Xiaoya brought a basin of hot water, first wet Zong Ji's face with a face towel, then dotted the cleansing foam on Zong Ji's face, rubbed it in circular motions, and then washed it off with the face towel.
At this point, Zong Ji thought it was over—if Xiaoya didn't continue to dismantle things.
Masks, toners, moisturizers, serums, creams.
Zong Ji never thought that washing his face could be so complicated.
"Handsome guy, your skin is really good, how do you take care of it?" Xiaoya took the importer to help the skin care products absorb.
"I haven't taken care of it." Zong Ji looked at the opposite mirror curiously, and he always felt that his face seemed to be much brighter.
"Handsome guy can really know how to joke." Xiaoya obviously didn't believe Zongji's words, "I'm so envious that my skin is so good without taking care of it."
Zong Ji really wanted to say that he wasn't joking. In fact, he hadn't even used facial cleanser before today, but obviously, this was more unbelievable than not taking care of it, so he simply gave up explaining.
The skin care products that Xiaoya used were brands that Zong Ji had never seen before, and he thought they were very expensive just by looking at the packaging. He was a little curious: "Do you use so many things for everyone who takes pictures?"
"Of course not." Xiaoya put away the massage device, "This is a service only available to our senior members."
Sure enough, she was once again under the influence of Sister Jiajia, Zong Ji thought to himself.
A set of procedures took almost half an hour, Xiaoya cleaned up the table, and Tang Cai also came out with a rack full of clothes.
"Are these what I'm going to wear today?" Zong Ji's eyes widened in disbelief.
"No."
Zong Ji heaved a sigh of relief, but raised it again the next second.
"But you have to try them all, and I'll choose the one that suits you best." Tang Cai admired the roller coaster of expressions on Zong Ji's face, sliding his finger on the clothes hanger, "Then, let's change this one first." Set it up."
Zong Ji took the clothes and began to wonder if he could leave the photo studio before dark.
When it was almost noon, Liu Wang called Zong Ji to ask him if it was over.
"No." Zong Ji's tone could be heard to contain a touch of desperation, since he entered the photo studio until now, he has not met a photographer, "Come on, you should be able to catch up with me to take the first set .”
Tang Cai tapped a rhinestone on the corner of Zong Ji's eye, and leaned back to appreciate his work: "Perfect!"
He turned around to move away from the mirror behind him, and Zong Ji saw his current appearance clearly.
The strangeness that hit his face made his eyes freeze for a moment: "Is this me?"
"Haha, I'm just a makeup artist, and I don't know how magicians can make people live." Tang Cai smiled and looked into Zong Ji's eyes in the mirror, "Believe in yourself, this is you."
He stood up and said, "Xiaoya, go and see if Teacher Yu is ready, and tell him that we are going to take pictures soon."
Xiaoya pushed the door to go out, Tang Cai bent slightly, and stretched out a hand to Zongji: "Let's go, my prince."
Zong Ji's eyebrows are very well-shaped, Tang Cai didn't do much modification, but used a brow trimmer to trim a few eyebrows that grew out of the border, and the eye sockets were swept away in layers with eye shadow to create a deeper depth.The lines on Zong Ji's face were too soft, and Tang Cai spent most of his time modifying his outline.
According to Zong Ji's bone appearance, the soft lines on his face are only temporary, and it will be fine after two years.
On the way from the dressing room to the studio, everyone who passed by gave Zong Ji amazing looks.
Tang Cai is very proud of this, and their surprise is the recognition of his skills.
"What a handsome young man." Teacher Yu's voice is mellow and extremely magnetic. He has a beard and looks very masculine.
"Thank you." The gazes he met along the way made Zong Ji a little uncomfortable. He entered the studio and stood in front of the white background cloth. He was so stiff that he didn't know how to move his hands and feet.
Compared with acting, taking pictures is too difficult!
Fortunately, Teacher Yu was very patient, and instead of rushing to shoot, he put down the camera and chatted with Zong Ji.He has a wide range of knowledge, has been to all over the world, and once photographed wild lions on the African savannah.
Zong Ji was attracted by the wonderful stories he told, and after listening to one, he wanted to hear the next one.
"Shall we finish taking a group of photos before we talk?"
Teacher Yu raised his eyebrows, and Zong Ji stood back to the photo area, finally he was no longer stiff like a puppet.
"Yes, smile and show your teeth, you look cute when you smile."
During the filming, Mr. Yu continued to give guidance, and from time to time he put down his phone to show Zong Ji how to do the movements. After more than ten minutes of filming, he made an OK gesture.
Zong Ji let out a long sigh.
"Let's go out to eat." Tang Cai knocked on the door, and Zong Ji looked up at him. Is it time to eat?
No, it should be, we can finally eat!
However, thinking of the scrutiny of those people just now, Zong Ji took back the steps he took and said, "Can I order takeaway here?"
He didn't want to go out and be surrounded by people, and he might not even be able to eat by then.
"I don't think anyone can bear to refuse your request." Tang Cai made an emotional expression, "Come on, let's see what you want to eat."
"Can I continue playing tricks?" Zong Ji bit his chopsticks, and now there is no crew looking for him. If he doesn't play tricks, it's hard to play at home and wait for the opportunity to hit him on the head himself.
"No, no." Sun Gui organized his words, but he didn't know what to say, so he pushed Liu Wang, "You come."
