Makeup photos are a big deal for a movie. Whether the audience praises you or scolds you until the release of the film is largely due to the makeup photos.

Cheng Xinlu is still very confident about Xu Yan's makeup photos. If she said that Xu Yan decided to play the role of Qingshu, she was still nervous - after all, given his status, to put it bluntly, he got the role for nothing by climbing the ladder of the movie emperor; even if Xu Yan's performance was good and he had no merits or faults, he would still be scolded.

But since she joined the crew, she has seen with her own eyes that Xu Yan's fit with the role of Qingshu is something she didn't expect. Or because of this role, Cheng Xinlu saw a lot of things in Xu Yan that she hadn't noticed before.

Xu Yan is a good student. Both his parents are teachers. He grew up under such family education. His temperament is different from many people. He studied finance in a key university. If he had not entered the entertainment industry, he would have chosen to pursue a master's degree after graduating from university, and continued his studies after graduating from graduate school or found a fairly decent job. He would have a good social status, always have a warm smile on his face, and would have good interpersonal relationships.

But I don't know why such a person actually entered the entertainment industry.

Other young actors and idols would have to create a persona of a top student, but Xu Yan was unwilling to sell himself badly, and he also refused to have a persona. He is said to be a Buddhist, but he is very ambitious about acting. He is said to be ambitious, but he doesn't use any scheming.

Cheng Xinlu once talked to him.

You said, with your life trajectory, no one could have imagined that the smooth and prosperous road ahead of you would suddenly turn into a ditch. What were you thinking? When you said you wanted to be an actor, your parents were mad to death, right? I remember that your father didn't have a good temper.

Whenever this topic came up, Xu Yan would put on his cute smile to Cheng Xinlu, which meant that he would not talk to you from the heart, and would only say perfunctory words. "You have a stereotype about Director Xu. Although they don't support you in their hearts, they will not look down on actors."

Cheng Xinlu sighed, "I'm just chatting with you, but you only know how to practice Tai Chi with me. I'm also a mother. If I search my son's name on the Internet and find insulting photos behind it, I won't be able to sleep every night." From

the perspective of an agent, although Xu Yan's career path is not open and aboveboard, he is at least a watertight person and abides by the law. Unlike some of the young artists she has managed before. He is so confused, but he always does things, sometimes he tries to attract attention, sometimes he makes confusing remarks, and he cleans up the mess every day. From a friend's perspective, Cheng Xinlu thinks Xu Yan is too introverted, and he doesn't fight for anything. He obviously doesn't want to be an actor, but he chooses to row his boat in the dark. No one knows what he wants. He is just like a duckweed floating in the water.

But she never knew that Xu Yan was like this.

When Cheng Xinlu saw the Qingshu played by Xu Yan, she often felt that it might be Xu Yan himself, so she never dared to ask Xu Yan whether he was acting deliberately or acting in his true colors.

Just like a tree, firmly rooted under its feet, but never lingering on any piece of land. He is strong and upright, lonely and free. How could such a person be insulted, attacked and slaughtered on the Daming Square of "Xu Yan"? How could such a person be willing to be a sparrow under someone else's eaves for fame and fortune?

In the afternoon, the makeup photos were taken. The order of such things is based on the status. Liang Yisheng's solo makeup photos were taken first.

When it comes to Liang Yisheng, who doesn't like to do business, he may not post a few Weibo posts a year. Fans have gradually given up hope on Liang Yisheng's Weibo and go to the studio Weibo every day to urge the studio to shoot more daily vlogs.

Yesterday, a girl came with his agent. Her name is very cute, Guan Xiaoli, and she is a staff member of the studio. Today, the agent has left, but Guan Xiaoli is still in the crew. She has been taking pictures of Liang Yisheng with a camera since lunch.

"Director Lu, can I still record when the filming starts? Even if we record, we will definitely wait until your crew releases the makeup photos before the studio releases the vlog, don't worry. Our fans of President Liang are all going crazy, saying that if we don't show them a moving President Liang, they will come to the crew to kill him."

Lu Jiahong had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he took a nap and came to take a look at the styling. The makeup photos are basically the work of the makeup artist and the photographer. He recognized Guan Xiaoli, who had a sweet look, was well-behaved and could speak. He waved his hand in a good mood, "Let's shoot."

"Okay! Thank you, Director Lu!" Guan Xiaoli squinted her eyes and answered crisply.

For Liang Yisheng, taking pictures is like drinking water and eating. When the camera is placed in front of him, he can pose without thinking. Two sets of looks were taken this time. One

set was when Wei Yuan just arrived in the village, and he was dressed quite brightly. Liang Yisheng must have taken quite some time to change to the second set of looks. The second set of looks was when Wei Yuan was about to leave the village, and the gap between him and Qingshu seemed to be there and not only did he look a little more vicissitudes, but he was also tired in spirit, and makeup would take some time.

The photographer called Qingshu to get in position first.

Liang Yisheng walked to the dressing room, and Guan Xiaoli followed him with a camera. Xu Yan in the dressing room heard Xiao Yuan say that someone was calling him outside, so he hurriedly put down the cup of hot soy milk he was sipping and ran out.

As soon as he went out, he saw the camera facing him, and Xu Yan subconsciously stepped aside, wanting to wait for Liang Yisheng to leave first. As a result, Liang Yisheng stood in front of him and reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth, "What did you drink?"

Xu Yan was startled and stepped aside, "No, there is a camera."

"It's okay, the studio is shooting a vlog." Liang Yisheng answered nonchalantly.

Guan Xiaoli also laughed, with a sly tone, and the camera was still facing the two people, "Teacher Xu, don't worry, fans are urging the studio to shoot Mr. Liang's daily life! If you don't want to appear on camera, it will be cut out in the later stage."

"Oh, okay, thank you for your hard work." Xu Yan nodded.

"Don't want to appear on camera?" Liang Yisheng asked.

"No... It's not good for me to appear on camera with you." Xu Yan answered.

With the experience of being in the same frame at the opening ceremony, if Xu Yan stood close to Liang Yisheng, he would be a scheming dog who would stick to Liang Yisheng whenever he had the chance, and if Xu Yan stood far away from Liang Yisheng, she would be a resentful woman who was abandoned and deserved to be dumped.

Guan Xiaoli next to Xu Yanchong smiled, looked at Liang Yisheng and said, "Then I'll go first."

Qingshu only has one look, but there are also two pictures.

It was Lu Jiahong's idea. Qingshu is not like Wei Yuan who has a sharp change in temperament and look. He has more changes in details. For example, expression, habits, etc.

Lu Jiahong considered many aspects and finally decided to give Qingshu only one look, but gave Qingshu a silhouette as the C position in the makeup photo during the promotion. Liang Yisheng is still there, and the C position is given to Xu Yan, although it is just a silhouette.

Liang Yisheng has no objection.

Cheng Xinlu was crazy. When Lu Jiahong told her this idea, Cheng Xinlu had already imagined Xu Yan being sprayed all over the floor. But Xu Yan looked at her with his eyes wide open, just like an innocent little white flower who had never experienced cyberbullying, "I'm not afraid. The center position has been delivered to my doorstep, so why don't I pretend to be at home?"

Xu Yan's attention was on the camera in front of her. She didn't know when Liang Yisheng stood behind the cameraman. This happened occasionally when filming before. Liang Yisheng would stand behind the camera and watch with Lu Jiahong for some of Xu Yan's solo scenes.

But at that time, Xu Yan was in the role and didn't feel as uncomfortable as he does now.

The photographer noticed that Xu Yan's body was a little stiff, and half-jokingly said, "Are you nervous that Teacher Liang is here to supervise you?"

Xu Yan also laughed and apologized to the staff, "I'm sorry for wasting your time."

Silhouettes are not easy to shoot. Lu Jiahong's requirement is to capture Qingshu's stubbornness that cannot be controlled by others. It is such an abstract and detailed requirement for a side silhouette.

"Why don't you take a break first?" asked the photographer.

Xu Yan felt that he couldn't relax quickly, so he could only nod, "Teacher Liang, let's take the second set first?"

Someone else came down, and Guan Xiaoli's camera was facing Xu Yan's face again, "Teacher Xu, are you nervous because Mr. Liang is watching you?"

Xu Yan was a little helpless with the dedicated Guan Xiaoli. By the time he came down and Guan Xiaoli asked a question, Liang Yisheng had already entered the state.

Xu Yan raised his chin and motioned Guan Xiaoli to shoot over there, "I am indeed nervous. Who wouldn't be nervous when being watched by Teacher Liang?"

"Just now, when I was doing the makeup, Ms. Liang urged me several times, and I wanted to come out to see you." Guan Xiaoli said with a smile.

Xu Yan laughed softly, "Okay, stop teasing me."

"Really, why would I lie to you? You can watch the vlog yourself when it's edited. Can I ask you a few questions?" Guan Xiaoli's eyes widened, looking pitiful. She had said before that she would edit it, and it was difficult for Xu Yan to refuse it again.

"Then ask."

"Wow, do you know how long we have been waiting for this opportunity? We have always known you, but we have never had the chance to meet you. There is very little information about you on the Internet, and you almost never accept interviews." Guan Xiaoli's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "When we sent the lawyer's letter last time, we were still talking about having you come to our studio to do business if there is a chance."

Guan Xiaoli clicked the end button of the recording and clicked the record button again.

"Can I ask why Mr. Xu entered this circle? You are not from a professional background, and I heard some gossip that the university you attended for undergraduate studies is a top-notch university! Is this true?"

Xu Yan looked at the camera quietly.

He asked again, "Are you sure these won't be edited into the studio's vlog?"

Guan Xiaoli nodded repeatedly and held up three fingers to make a swearing gesture.

Xu Yan licked his dry lips. He hadn't drunk any water this afternoon except for a few sips of soy milk in the dressing room. He didn't know what Xiao Yuan was doing. His throat was also dry, and he could feel some stinging from time to time when he spoke.

"The degree is real. I saw an interview with Mr. Liang on TV one summer vacation when I was in college. It had been a year since he finished filming "Blindness". The host asked him what the biggest impact of "Blindness" on his life was after he became famous overnight."

Xu Yan paused, and the interview came back to his mind. He had really seen it too many times, every expression, every movement, and the careless smile of Liang Yisheng.

"He said that playing a policeman who lost his left ear due to a gun battle was what brought him the most, and a sense of honor and holiness. He clearly enjoyed this honor for the character Sheng Yan, but he did not lose his left ear, which he always felt was unfair. For a long time after the filming, he would subconsciously turn his right ear to listen to what others said when talking to others. Every time at this time, he would say to Sheng Yan in his heart, brother, I will give you my left ear."

These are the original words of Liang Yisheng in the interview that year. Liang Yisheng was still very young at that time. If it were now, he would probably not say such words. Guan Xiaoli was still waiting for Xu Yan to continue, but Xu Yan was slow to speak, so she asked, "Then what? Is that all?"

Xu Yan nodded, "That's all."
