Chapter 47

Zhou Chunqing's current status is different.

Glory's economic team is composed of experienced behind-the-scenes personnel. Su Ning also asked Qilin to bring someone over to take charge of the daily operations of the team. However, the makeup artist team has just been established and has not yet selected a team leader.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Chunqing had thought of taking a gamble at the filming location.

She succeeded.

With his solid achievements within the team, he immediately stood out from the crowd and is now considered half a team leader.

And the artists do value her. I'm not referring to Li Chu, but Lin Zhi, with whom she had worked before.

He didn't know the relationship between Li Chu and Zhou Chunqing, but he also specifically praised this "makeup artist" with first-class response speed and work quality to Su Ning.

In addition to suggestions on makeup, Zhou Chunqing is also quite good at dealing with people. When the advertising shooting concept had to be changed temporarily, which inevitably led to an extension of the time, she discussed with the executive agent on site while making the changes, and ordered dinner extras in advance to distribute to the people on site.

Su Ning has already discussed it with the general manager of the brand, but the people on site are just ordinary staff, and it is a fact that the time has been extended. Everyone would be unhappy, and the artist team should at least do a good job on the surface.

This is mostly how people behave in the world.

Zhou Chunqing's family was in business before it went bankrupt, so she was influenced by the family and reacted faster than others.

So not only did the photoshoot turn out well, all parties were very satisfied with it, and even the staff posted a compliment online, saying that the Glory team knew how to behave and were not at all arrogant.

The management team maintains the artist's image in many ways.

Su Ning quickly went to talk to her. In addition to chatting about work, he also asked her at the end: "From your perspective, what do you think is the most important thing for an idol?"

This is the boss talk before promotion. When faced with this question, some people would say it is the stage, some would say it is the personality, or the connections, the understanding or something else, but her answers are different.

Zhou Chunqing didn't even have to think: "It looks good."

"It doesn't look good on camera. In my opinion, that's a no-no."

After all, she didn't understand the rest, so she answered honestly and truthfully.

Su Ning smiled and didn't comment on whether it was right or wrong. He just said seriously: "Chun Qing, I will trouble you more in the future. You can try to take charge of the team's styling first."

Then Su Ning quickly gave her a raise.

He was a generous boss and would double the salary for this type of increase. Zhou Chunqing was quickly encouraged.

She is in charge of the makeup for the recent commercials that the artists are going to shoot and the events they are going to attend.

Therefore, it is more accurate to call Zhou Chunqing a stylist at present. The original stylist was a bit of a stretch. Moreover, she is indeed talented. As soon as she emerged, she immediately rose to the top and her voice became much stronger.

She didn't understand the part about Ruisong and Zhouheng writing music, but she had carefully looked at the styling and clothes and found no problem. Besides, this brand was an expert in TV commercials and its aesthetics were always up to par.

As for Wang Ruoyi, she made some timely adjustments to his makeup and quickly changed his top. The creativity of the advertisement itself was also fine. She had already picked out several looks for the variety shows. It was just a matter of changing clothes, so there was definitely enough time.

You know what, the effect is really good.

The production process of the commercial and the finished variety show has not been released yet, but the fans will not miss out on these new looks. Many people followed her airport outfits and took photos, and the number of likes increased a lot.

Fans are very honest about whether a picture looks good or not. If the picture looks good, they will have a big reputation. If the picture looks bad, they will pretend not to see it and then curse the team behind their backs for wearing ugly clothes. Recently, the official account has been full of exaggerations.

"Please keep it up!"

"She looks really good recently. I heard she changed her stylist. The previous one was a bit sparse, all the same cool style. This one is better. It's obviously more thoughtful. Everyone's style is different."

This established Zhou Chunqing's authority in the team in a short period of time.

The team has taken on a lot of commercials recently. Ji Mowei and Qu Shoubai have a bigger problem. The stills they shot are in an ancient style series and they have to change into ancient costumes.

——Ancient costume is a major hurdle to test an artist’s style.

Ancient costume headgear and clothing are very easy to expose flaws. If you are not careful, layered clothes will make you look fat and strong. If the lighting and photography are not right, it will become a cheap photo studio style.

Although this brand is an old domestic brand that has been passed down for decades, it rarely advertised before. It was only promoted by users in the domestic product inventory on the Internet in recent years. Its main feature is its high cost performance. The product itself is very easy to use, but it is criticized for its rustic packaging, which looks like street stall goods at first glance.

The brand was also very receptive and changed the packaging of its main products, loose powder and eyebrow pencil. After receiving positive feedback from users in the early stages, it considered finding popular influencers to promote the product. Ji Mowei and Qu Shoubai were both the first spokespersons for the brand.

This old domestic brand is very sincere, so this shoot should be even more perfect.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared, but reaching management level requires more than just good makeup skills.

Zhou Chunqing learned from the last experience and knew that changing things on the spot would cause unnecessary troubles and pose great risks to the partners. It would also easily cause unhappiness on both sides. Moreover, the artists happened to have time last time. If the schedule is tight, this change would be even more offensive.

So she learned it and asked someone to borrow clothes and headgear in advance before the official shooting.

Although Zhou Chunqing was not well-known before, he had indeed filmed period costume dramas before and knew that the styling and lens were very challenging. After trying it on the spot, he immediately found the problem and immediately called Su Ning and said, "No, we need to adjust it."

"Boss Su, I have to change all these."

She lowered her eyes to look at Ji Mowei and Qu Shoubai, then lifted their chins and looked at their faces carefully, and said, "I can't let you take pictures like this, even if we don't have enough time. If you take pictures like this, you will be scolded by your fans."

After going through something, the timid Zhou Chunqing has changed, and now has a more decisive aura. He glanced over, and Ji Mowei and Qu Shoubai could only nod.

"Okay," Su Ning checked the time, "but it's a bit urgent to change it now. Ancient costumes are more difficult to style than modern ones. I'm afraid the makeup artists may not be able to grasp it accurately. How about this, I'll find someone to help you."

"Junqing, thank you for your help."

Zhou Chunqing: "I understand."

Su Ning has been very busy recently. After taking over Guangying Entertainment, he still has a lot of things to sort out. After the company's major changes, many people left, but there are still nearly two hundred people left. He has visited all the directors and some important behind-the-scenes personnel who had often cooperated with Guangying Entertainment before.

Only now did he have a general understanding of the people and relationships in the company, and had a rough idea of ​​which people were used for which purposes.

So after Zhou Chunqing made this request, people arrived very quickly - to her surprise, Su Ning actually found the team of stylists who did the styling for Guangying Entertainment's costume dramas more than ten years ago!

These people have been away from the entertainment industry for some time and have been developing outside. I don’t know how Su Ning got in touch with them again.

The wig team had ready-made wigs, and after trying them on, they selected the most suitable ones for the two of us. The hairpins on our heads were also changed, keeping it simple so as not to steal the spotlight from the product.

The original outer garment was not changed. In order to avoid obvious conflicts with the clothes in the famous TV series, the inner garment was changed. It immediately looked much more elegant. If you look closely, you can see that the inner garment is embroidered with cloud patterns, which improves the texture of the details.

Ancient costumes themselves are not out of fashion. After such a long time, the aesthetics are still online.

Most importantly, it really suits these two artists.

The professionalism of this team has already surprised Ji Mowei and others, but what they didn't expect was that when the filming started the next day, Su Ning took the initiative to pick them up.

"You guys are shooting in Rongcheng, there is a project there, I'm going to meet them there, just in time to take you there." Su Ning said, "But I have to pick someone up on the way, I'll ask him to go with you."

No one present knew who Su Ning had invited this time.

They saw a car parked on the side of the road. The house next to it looked like an old residential area where Haicheng locals lived. Then a middle-aged man wearing a simple cloth jacket and a melon-shaped hat walked out of the house. He was not good-looking, but Su Ning went to meet him in person and even took the initiative to open the car door for him. He seemed to respect him very much.

"Teacher Zheng," he went up and shook hands, "thank you for troubling me."

This person is Zheng Tian, ​​who is almost 50 years old and one of the three contracted actors of Guangying Entertainment.

Most people don't know this name. Qu Shoubai and the others didn't recognize it at first, and just followed Su Ning in calling him "Teacher Zheng". However, many classic supporting characters from many years ago, such as Swordsman and the White-haired Elder of Xianshan, are well known to everyone.

He was invited by Su Ning to shoot the scene. On the surface, he looked like a smiling and easy-going person. He was dressed like an old man and wore an old coat.

The company is not producing any movies right now, and they don't want to get involved in bad dramas, but they're quite free lately and don't mind helping out.

"Mr. Su is too polite."

Zheng Tian came up with a water cup in his hand and said hello to everyone: "Hello everyone. Hey, my granddaughter likes you very much. Don't forget to sign for me when you come."

When he arrived at the shooting location, his appearance changed immediately.

The concept of Ji Mowei's advertising photo is "Knight with Sword". With his sharp eyebrows, the sword in his hand is a sharpened eyebrow pencil, which really looks like a short sword.

The concept of Qu Shoubai's loose powder is "immortals collecting herbs", which reflects the special Chinese herbal ingredients in the formula. The use of ancient costumes for shooting also shows the brand's domestic production + long history label.

Zhou Chunqing's makeup is also very careful. Qu Shoubai highlights the clear base makeup, softer eyebrows and eyes, and very light makeup. Ji Mowei highlights the eyebrows and eyes, and his facial features are also relatively deep.

But still photos include not only makeup but also movements.

"That's not how you take it."

"Don't use force on your fingers, use force on your wrists, and don't move your arms like that, it will look ugly in the picture."

Zheng Tian put down his old kettle, pointed at Ji Mowei's wrists and other places where he was posing, and then picked up a plastic stick from the filming scene and used it as if he was holding a dagger.

"Like this..." Yan Shanting

He demonstrated: "This is how it looks better."

As his movements changed, his eyes also changed, and the image of an ordinary old man seen on the street suddenly disappeared. It seemed that even his gray hair became sharp, and he really looked like some kind of reclusive master.

Then he turned around again, returned to his original appearance, and said with a habitual smile on his face: "Try again."

Ji Mowei stood up in respect and nodded in agreement.

As for Qu Shoubai, he also has experience. In this photo, the artist has nothing in his hands. The powder box was photoshopped in later stages, making it almost like a performance without physical objects.

Zheng Tian also has a lot of experience in filming fantasy films.

"Your way of exerting force is not quite right. Your shoulders should be relaxed. This is where the waist and abdomen drive the force. Even though this photo only shows your upper body, it is not just about your upper body."

"Your profile looks better. Why don't you try this half-circle move?"

"Yes, yes, move your left arm down a little bit, turn it around again, look at me, and lift your chin a little bit more."

After all, taking photos is not like filming a movie. It is impossible to learn very high-level action sequences quickly, but there is enough time to adjust to a static image.

Both of them have a basic dance foundation and good comprehension, and most importantly, their teacher is experienced.

Even though they are criticized by outsiders as "old, weak, sick and disabled", the value of these veteran actors who have been working in the industry for many years is just that they have no place to display their value temporarily. As long as they stand in the field they are good at, they are shining like gold.
