In terms of prop arrangement, Qin Sheng hopes to restore the flavor of the original drama as much as possible. It does not need to be too gorgeous, just need to create a warm feeling of "home".
Since the venue was originally a restaurant that imitated ancient architecture, the set-up did not take too much time and was completed in just over half an hour under Qin Sheng's guidance.
By the time Qin Sheng called all the young actors aside to arrange the rehearsal, time had already hurried to around three in the afternoon.
"Makeup team, put makeup on them."
After everything was ready, Qin Sheng immediately asked the makeup artist to put makeup on each actor. Because filming requires different light and shadows to be cast on the actors' faces, everyone, regardless of gender, has to wear makeup.
After the actors had finished their preparations, Qin Sheng reviewed them and his expression suddenly turned cold.
"Where is the makeup artist?"
Wei Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and called out the makeup team leader.
The makeup artist was a girl in her twenties. She had worked with Qin Sheng once before. In her opinion, Qin Sheng was just a sloppy and second-rate director, so she was a little puzzled when she was suddenly called.
What is this guy doing?
But the director is the boss of the entire crew, so even though she despised Qin Sheng in her heart, she still stood up and asked weakly,
"Director, this is my makeup, is there any problem?"
Qin Sheng glanced at her, his eyes were calm and indifferent, but also solemn.
"Why did you give Zhang Dongsheng highlighter eyeshadow? And mascara? I want an image that fits the plot, not a effeminate guy who flirts with everyone. A cook and a poor scholar with big Carslan eyes, do you think they're playing a prank on the bridal chamber?!"
“I…I…”
The makeup artist opened his mouth and stammered, unable to speak.
In fact, this is the disadvantage of being with too many small-scale production crews. Many directors in the circle are just taking things as they come, which leads to low execution of their departments and the bad habit of taking things as they come. Anyway, you only have such a small investment, so just take what you want.
But Qin Sheng is not the kind of director who is used to shoddy work. He pursues perfect characters and perfect shots, and naturally does not allow any mistakes.
The photography crew, set design crew and other staff members from other departments were also a little stunned. They thought that they had worked together once and they knew Qin Sheng's style well enough.
At least on a professional level, Qin Sheng used to be a superficial director who was "ok as long as it looked good". He never overly pursued trivial matters such as the angle of the camera, the lighting effect and whether the makeup was suitable. He was usually satisfied as long as he liked it.
But now, the other party is really making a fuss about such a small issue that was insignificant in the past. This is quite outrageous.
Could it be that because the previous work failed, he wanted to make amends and start from the details?
Oh my god, this is really annoying...
Everyone couldn't help but gasp, and asked themselves if there was anything wrong with their previous work arrangements. Although most of these people came with the intention of getting by, they didn't want to be lectured by Qin Sheng like this.
After all, you still have to make some bad money...
"Director, I'm sorry, I'll go and remake it now..."
The makeup artist was a little scared. Although Qin Sheng's expression was calm, it always gave her a terrifying feeling of undercurrents.
However, Qin Sheng didn't answer her. He just frowned condescendingly and asked, "Do you think that after wasting so much time, just saying sorry to me is enough?"
He has changed!
He really changed!
He is trying to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys!
He was really ready to kick himself!
After realizing this possibility, the makeup artist's eyes turned red. She lowered her head, and tears as big as beans gathered in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.
"Director, I'm sorry... I promise I won't make the same mistake again next time. Please give me another chance, I will cherish it..."
The makeup artist's sobbing voice was very sad, but Qin Sheng remained indifferent.
"Alas...Qin Sheng really wants to play for real this time."
The staff beside him also sighed.
"It's a pity for Xiao Lu that he ran into this gun."
"Why has Qin Sheng become so strict?"
"This film's budget is even lower than the last one. It's just a restaurant, nothing else. Why are the requirements even stricter?"
…
Honestly speaking, based on Qin Sheng's past behavior, he would definitely not give someone a second chance easily, especially for such a low-level and careless mistake.
But when I think about it, time is running out and I don't have enough time to find another makeup artist.
Besides, the reason why his subordinates were so careless was indeed because of the carelessness of their predecessor.
So after two seconds of silence, he finally replied quietly,
"Remember, this won't happen again."
Never do it again?
Everyone was stunned, including the makeup artist. She was ready to pack up and leave, but she didn't expect Qin Sheng to be willing to give her a chance?
Touched, happy, and feeling of rebirth instantly filled my head.
The makeup artist hurriedly bowed to Qin Sheng and thanked him.
"Director Qin, I will remember this. Thank you!"
Not very interested in appreciating the other person's grateful expression at the moment, Qin Sheng nodded with a straight face, turned around and walked to the director's chair behind the monitor.
Before he even sat down, Wei Shaoyan came over and nudged his shoulder, teasing him,
"Sure, Qin Sheng, you played it well."
"Hmm?" Qin Sheng turned and looked at him with a frown. "What do you mean?"
