Chapter 6: Making an Exception Today is unprecedented, making an exception for Gao Luo...
The second season of "The Wonderful Period" has not officially started yet, but it has already caused netizens to argue about it and has become a hot topic, with three entries appearing at once: #Who puts on makeup first#, #Courtesy#, and #Unpopular#.
The argument all started because of the order of makeup application, which was completely within the director's expectations. Or rather, this is what would happen in the process he designed.
The program team stipulated in the contract that guests are not allowed to bring their own makeup artists, nor are they allowed to do their own makeup. At the same time, they deliberately invited two makeup artists with very different levels of skills to the scene and required the artists to appear at the shooting location after one hour.
Such harsh conditions force at least one of the three same-sex artists to suffer losses.
The profession of artist requires maintaining a perfect image in front of the camera. When artists of the same gender are put together, it is inevitable that their appearance will be compared by the audience.
Everyone makes a living by their looks, so of course no one wants to be inferior to others.
There was no conflict among the male artists for the time being because they arrived at the TV station almost at the same time. It was agreed that the order of makeup would be decided by drawing lots, and the person who drew number two would go to a makeup artist with lower skills.
This method is relatively fair, it just depends on who has the worst luck and is just out of luck.
There was an accident with the female guest because Gao Shule was late.
Feng Daiyue and Shen Siyan arrived at the scene on time and at the same time. After understanding the situation, Feng Daiyue offered to be the first to put on beautiful makeup.
The other person had already opened his mouth and made a request. It would be very unemotional to object to him in person, and it would also go against Shen Siyan's approach of being friendly, so she had no choice but to agree.
Shen Siyan didn't mean to trick Gao Shule on purpose. Her original plan was to do the "ugly" makeup herself. She is confident in her looks and doesn't think she can look ugly after putting on makeup. If you take the initiative to bring it up, you might even win some love from fans and passersby.
The problem is that Gao Shule didn’t come. If she did that, her role as a “good person” would have been in vain.
In the entertainment industry, a world of fame and fortune where interests are paramount, no one is willing to give up their own interests and let others take advantage of them for free, especially when these "others" are colleagues in their competitive relationship.
Either beautiful makeup or a good reputation, she has to have one. Lei Feng would write down all the good deeds he did in his diary!
However, Gao Shule's lateness ruined Shen Siyan's first plan.
She had to make two plans, the more primitive of which was to just wait.
If Gao Shule couldn't come, then she could reasonably take over after Feng Daiyue to do a beautiful makeup - doing the makeup of two people in an hour should not be difficult for a mature and experienced makeup artist.
But when half an hour passed and Feng Daiyue was still at the base makeup step, Shen Siyan realized that Feng Daiyue didn't want to give others a chance at all. She just wants to monopolize the makeup artist all by herself so that she can look beautiful all by herself!
Shen Siyan just entered the entertainment industry this year and has not seen the intrigues here, but in fact, there are also many open and secret struggles in the self-media industry, so she is mentally prepared.
But she didn't expect that someone would use tricks right from the start.
It would definitely not work to confront her head-on, because the opponent's attack was not on the table. It would be even worse to let herself swallow the loss. She was not a soft persimmon who would be bullied by others.
After much consideration, Shen Siyan decided to go out with her bare face.
Then the accident happened again - Gao Shule was half an hour late, and finally arrived, and she had no idea about the level of the two makeup artists.
Seeing that she foolishly asked herself to put on makeup first, Shen Siyan realized that she could no longer be the "good person" who took the initiative to give up the benefits today. So she countered, “Wang Tai gave up dates, and Kong Rong gave up pears.”
Not only does it avoid the chance of making a fool of yourself, but it also wins you a good reputation for being humble and polite. It's just a pity that Gao Shule has to be the scapegoat.
But there was nothing she could do, it was her fault for being late.
Those who are late must bear some consequences.
Originally, the online reputation was the same as Gao Shule expected, but unfortunately, Gao Luo messed it all up.
It was not until today that Gao Luo finally experienced the true benefits of being a child. Because she is young, people don't avoid her when talking. And because she is young, no one would notice anything wrong even if she chatted with him.
After Gao Luo finished chatting with Shen Si, she strolled over to Feng Daiyue, grabbed a handful of grapes for her, and said, "Sister, I want to borrow your liquid foundation, is that okay?"
Shen Siyan bit open half a grape and pretended to be puzzled: "Borrow liquid foundation? What for? Children have tender skin and can't wear makeup yet."
"I don't need it, give it to her." Gao Luo pointed at Gao Shule, "She smeared it so black."
The makeup artist was using a sponge puff to spread a dollop of liquid foundation onto Gao Shule's face. The photographer's camera moved forward, and in the live broadcast room he could see that the areas on her face where the foundation was applied had become separated from the rest of her face, like a piece of chocolate abruptly mixed into cream.
[Isn’t the color number right? How can you smear someone so badly? 】
[Reverse makeup, who are you trying to make up for? 】
[So she doesn’t look like this in the drama, is it also because of the makeup artist’s mess? 】
[Is Xi Que Tai okay? Isn’t it said that their makeup artist is very good? 】
[Not all of them are good at it. It seems that only two of them can make a circle shape. 】
[The one done on Feng Daiyue is probably the most impressive. A celebrity I followed came to record a show on Xi Que TV, and the vlog he posted included this blue-haired makeup artist. 】
[So you treat others differently just because they are not doing well?] 】
Gao Luo came to borrow liquid foundation, but Feng Daiyue really didn't want to lend it because she was the one who would ask the supporting actress to let her put on makeup on the set. She doesn't want others to be prettier than herself. If they appear on camera together, the other person must be very different from herself.
But the other person is a child, and refusing directly would make you seem stingy.
Feng Daiyue evaded the question by saying, “The foundation is not mine, it belongs to this sister.” She was referring to the makeup artist.
The makeup artist dyed her hair blue, applied black nail polish, put exaggerated smoky makeup on her face, and had flying eyelashes. At first glance, she looked like a very unique fashionista.
Children would probably be afraid of this kind of person, Feng Daiyue speculated.
Sure enough, the little man was seen staring at the blue-haired makeup artist with his mouth half open without saying a word.
But Feng Daiyue hadn't been happy for a few seconds when she heard the little man say crisply: "Wow, sister, you are so beautiful!"
The exaggerated tone and the fixed gaze made the praise seem particularly sincere.
The blue-haired makeup artist was immediately amused by her.
[It turns out that Little Mushroom can also be a fangirl. So funny. Hahahahaha. 】
[This makeup artist is so cool! ! I also had a crazy look on my face the whole time. 】
[Really handsome and really trendy!] I can't handle it. I have a phobia for trendsetters, but kids are fearless. 】
In contrast to the smiling face of the blue-haired makeup artist was Feng Daiyue's sudden cold face.
She complained in her mind: Why didn’t I see her praise me just now? Am I not as pretty as the makeup artist?
Feng Daiyue glanced at the makeup artist secretly and couldn't help but say "tsk" in her heart. Children's aesthetic taste is just poor!
The blue-haired makeup artist couldn't stand Gao Luo's "burning" gaze and praise, so she gave her everything she wanted to borrow.
Gao Luo came back happily with cosmetics in her hands and replaced the pile in front of Gao Shule.
This time the color number was finally right. The makeup artist wanted to draw Gao Shule's eyebrows. As soon as he started, the eyebrows looked like Crayon Shin-chan, which made Gao Shule speechless.
She pointed at Gao Shule's eyebrows and said to the makeup artist, "Why are there two caterpillars lying here?"
The makeup artist paused, not knowing whether to continue.
"Sister, please give it to me, let me try, okay?" Gao Luo said.
"You paint it?" The makeup artist looked at her questioningly.
My drawing is not very good, but it is still better than that of a five-year-old child.
[However, children should not act recklessly. 】
[The program team treated the artists differently. The artists should file a complaint and find trouble with the program team. Allowing children to come instead gives the program team an excuse to shirk responsibility.]
I hope this artist can sober up! ! 】
The barrage was filled with "advice" to Gao Shule, but Gao Shule couldn't see it. She could only see the pair of bright eyes in front of her.
She looked at Gao Luo for a while, then said to the makeup artist beside her, "Can I paint her? I want her to try."
After hearing her answer, the comments changed from "advice" to wailing.
[You are so confused!] 】
[No wonder he is so confused, it turns out he has no brains.] . . 】
[When you appear on camera with a clown face, we won’t be able to speak for you. 】
The comments were all expressing their pity for their misfortune, but everyone also wanted to see the clown face, so the number of people in the live broadcast room was not small, and even many passers-by clicked in out of curiosity.
The makeup artist whispered a few words to the staff in the room, and the staff walked out with the intercom.
The director is in the studio control room on the same floor, where he can monitor the live broadcast image and changes in network data in real time.
Currently, there is an entry whose data is increasing very quickly, which is #Xi Que Tai’s different treatment#.
Normally, this kind of negative hot search would require them to do public relations in a timely manner, but Ning Heng ignored it this time.
He heard the staff's request on the intercom, thought for a while, and said, "Okay."
The director’s name is Ning Heng. He previously hosted a social observation variety show on TV. The popularity of that variety show was second only to the first season of “Wonderful Holiday”. Since the production team of the first season was assigned to other programs, he took over the second season.
The content and theme are completely different, but since I just took over, I couldn’t help but bring in ideas from the previous variety show when planning.
The makeup session designed today may seem to be about comparing the final looks of the artists, but its real purpose is to observe the choices and behaviors of each artist. Different choices can reveal the different personalities of the artists.
Someone like Feng Daiyue loves to compete and show off. She has some tricks, but they are not sophisticated. If she uses them too much, people will see through her intentions. Shen Siyan is a woman with a sharp edge. She appears gentle but is actually very strong inside.
Gao Shule... has a pretty face for nothing, but is stupid and cowardly.
When the producer of the first season approached him and said that he wanted to add this artist, Ning Heng was not very happy because the other party had no popularity, no good looks, and an unpleasant personality. If he came, he would only be a stepping stone for other artists.
I met her today, and she is much prettier in real life compared to her image in movies and TV dramas. But he is too weak and doesn't dare to conflict with others.
No matter how beautiful a cannon fodder is, she is still a cannon fodder.
The personalities of these three artists are quite common in the entertainment industry, except for that little child who was beyond Ning Heng's expectations.
Although she looks small and innocent, nothing she does or says is superfluous, and they all play a key role in the direction of Gao Shule's live broadcast room.
Ning Heng has a purpose in producing programs, which is that once the rules are set, they cannot be broken, and no external factors are allowed to interfere with the "original ecology" among the artists.
Today was an unprecedented day, as Gao Luo was allowed to interfere with the makeup process.
Mainly, he was really curious about what she would do next.
Would such a young child know how to draw eyebrows? It’s hard to apply baby facial cream properly.
However, although his idea is consistent with that of the netizens in the live broadcast room, and that Gao Shule will have to produce films with a clown face in the future, he is very optimistic about the results.
Many times, there is no need for artists to pursue overly exquisite makeup, as the audience likes living people with a breath of life. Besides, they are a variety show for kids, not a beauty pageant show. Does it matter whether the land is beautiful or not?
A pretty face paired with a child's tender brush, as long as the shooting style is correct, it will be a set of very loving promotional photos that fit the theme of the variety show.
He was sure that the audience would like it.
This is indeed the case. As more and more people joined the live broadcast room, different voices appeared in the comments:
[You all say that this girl is brainless, but I think she is a nice person and respects children very much. 】
[Adults are willing to play with children, especially female celebrities who make a living by their looks. This is true love for children, not just lip service. 】
[Huhu is so gentle, just like a mommy! 】
*
In the live broadcast, everyone could see that Gao Luo held Gao Shule's face with her small hand and painted on her face stroke by stroke. Gao Shule looked at the person in front of her gently, her eyes full of appreciation and love.
Gao Luo's physical condition is really not good now. Her hands are not strong enough, and her limb coordination and control are not flexible enough, so she paints very slowly.
After she finished drawing her eyebrows, it was basically the time set by the program crew.
[Let me see it!] 】
[Why are you still hiding it?] Is it too ugly to look at? 】
[How can a child put on makeup? Even if he knows, he would just put on lipstick and blush. Eyebrows are extremely difficult to draw, I can’t even draw them properly. 】
[Beautiful eyebrows are drawn one by one, which requires skills and patience. Most importantly, the two eyebrows need to be drawn symmetrically, which is indeed a bit difficult for a child of her age. 】
[I don't have any requirements for her, I just want to see what the painting looks like. Show me quickly! ! 】
After Gao Luo finished painting Gao Shule, the artist needed to move to the shooting area immediately.
The director announced on the intercom that the live broadcast time was over.
The netizens who were enjoying the show were caught off guard and confused when the screen suddenly went black without any warning.
