Lin Siya never expected that she would be taken to the 1970s by a landslide while simply going out for some fresh air. The 1970s, so be it. Although resources were scarce, as an orphan, she didn...
In fact, the communication with the art troupe is also very simple. They are a group of not very professional actors who perform in front of the professional actors of the art troupe.
Everyone was quite nervous at the beginning, but they soon got into the state. After all, they had practiced so many times that they had already memorized both the lines and the plot.
Although they are not professional actors, their performances are sincere in a way that others do not have. Although their performances are a little awkward, they are unexpectedly touching, which is something that the people in the art troupe do not have.
After watching the performance of the art troupe, everyone applauded. After all, they were professionals and their performance was much better than theirs.
But Lin Siya always felt that something was wrong.
Seeing Lin Siya's frown, Jiang Yao stepped forward and asked with concern, "Comrade Lin, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Yao always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find the reason.
"I'm sorry, you guys performed very well, but I always feel like something is a little off."
Lin Siya looked at the actors' delicate makeup and costumes, and suddenly an inspiration came to her. She finally knew what was wrong.
"Deputy Captain Jiang, I finally know what's wrong, and I'll tell you straight out."
"That's great, Comrade Lin. We couldn't be more delighted that you could point out our shortcomings."
"There are two problems now. The first is the costumes for the actors. The characters we are playing are female workers in a textile factory. Especially our heroine, although she is a worker, her life is not easy due to family reasons. So her clothes are definitely patched. These clothes are definitely not suitable now."
Jiang Yao also suddenly realized that they were all dancers or singers before, and had never performed a sitcom or skit on stage. In their fixed mindset, they believed that the heroine should be the most important. They just dressed the heroine in ordinary clothes and did not think about the environment in which the character itself was in.
Now that Lin Siya said this, he immediately found the incongruity.
Comrade Lin, you are worthy of being the original author. You have considered things more comprehensively than us. Before, we always felt that something was wrong but we couldn’t find the reason. Now, we have found the reason at once.
"Captain Jiang, you're too polite. We just look at things from different perspectives."
"Then Comrade Lin, can you tell us what else needs improvement?"
Jiang Yao and all the actors present looked at Lin Siya with hope.
Lin Siya did not hide anything and shared all the points she noticed, focusing on the actors' makeup.
"The actors in our art troupe usually wear stage makeup during performances, but this is a skit, or a situational comedy, and the content expressed in it is the stories of ordinary people, so stage makeup is not suitable for the makeup."
Everyone present agreed with her words, but they usually wore stage makeup, so it seemed quite difficult for them to change their makeup all of a sudden.
Although the art troupe has dedicated makeup artists, these days, the so-called makeup artists are not professional. Some of them even switched from painting opera makeup, so most of the stage makeup is very heavy, and they have no idea where to start when it comes to applying everyday makeup.
"Let me show you how it is."
"Comrade Lin, do you know how to put on makeup?"
"Yeah, Yaya, you can also put on makeup?"
Lin Siya thought that in the technologically advanced era of the future, all kinds of beauty bloggers and beauty videos would emerge in an endless stream, not to mention modern women, especially some working women, who basically wear makeup at work. For Lin Siya, daily makeup is a piece of cake.
She remembered that there was a time when she particularly liked watching beauty bloggers' cross-dressing videos. Those beauty bloggers were all talented. Some of them could even use makeup to transform their faces into another person's face, or use makeup to transform their faces into the face of a celebrity. Their skills were amazing.
So she also studied online for a while, which was quite interesting. In addition, she majored in fine arts and was particularly sensitive to light, shadow and color, so her makeup skills improved by leaps and bounds.
"I wonder if any comrade can lend me some makeup? I also need a model."
"I have some cosmetics here. I'm the makeup artist for our art troupe."
The makeup artist of the art troupe is a middle-aged woman in her 40s. She used to be an opera actor. Later, due to her age, physical reasons and historical reasons, she switched careers to become a makeup artist. Those opera actors in the past were all talented. Many of them could do their own makeup, so there was no problem in doing makeup for others.
This makeup artist is very studious. Since she used to do makeup for operas, she also learned from others. Therefore, she is considered a relatively good makeup artist in the art troupe.
"Okay, thank you. I'm wondering if there's any comrade who wants to be my model."
Everyone looked at each other, and some were afraid.
In the end, an old actor stood up.
"Let me do it. I play the heroine's mother-in-law."
Finally, an actress in her 30s came out. She got the opportunity to play this role because she was the oldest person in the art troupe.
"Although she is already in her 30s, she still looks very young, like she is in her twenties."
