When Shi Xi arrived at the film crew of "Nine Generations of Peace", she found that the crew was even poorer than she had imagined.
She knew that a production crew that only filmed for two months was definitely in a rush.
but!
This makeup and styling is so perfunctory!
Regardless of gender, everyone wore white clothes, which was euphemistically called "white clothes fluttering."
Her hair was either loose or casually tied up, without any hair accessories.
After confirming it three times, Shi Xi finally realized that this was not a trip to a funeral.
That's her official makeup photo.
These are also the clothes she wears in most of her scenes.
"No way, I'll use my own stylist!" Shi Xi declared defiantly.
Fortunately, Han Chuan brought her a stylist who could handle both her clothes and hair.
Shi Xi spoke with the director, who didn't say anything, only telling her not to waste too much time on makeup and styling, and then agreed.
After all, the filming time for this drama was only two months.
Shi Xi had a headache, feeling like she had fallen into a trap.
Chapter 1034: Looking at Pei Kai's appearance again, it's hard to describe.
The makeup artist combed Pei Kai's hair back, put on a wig, tied half of it up at the back of his head, and left the other half loose. Moreover, a strand of long hair was left on each side, swaying in the wind, like a dying catfish.
This style is very common and cool in games and anime.
But anime is anime after all; how can you project a two-dimensional face into a three-dimensional one?
This hairstyle, when applied to a real person, is so ugly it's a disaster.
Shi Xi couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked the stylist to give Pei Kai a new hairstyle and also made some alterations to his clothes.
After all, I'm going to be acting opposite her, so I can't look too ugly.
Pei Kai was handsome and had a quiet, reserved demeanor, so he let Shi Xi help him.
The stylist tied up his hair and put on a hair crown, transforming him from a lifeless catfish into a spirited young man.
When doing these things, Shi Xi originally thought she would need to communicate with the makeup team.
However, there were only a few people in the entire makeup team. They simply put the hoods on the actors and that was it.
Shi Xi brought her own makeup artist, which saved them time.
As for Shi Xi's unauthorized modification of Pei Kai's look, the makeup artist didn't say anything, only asking them to report it to the director.
"It's a production from a film and television company, how come everyone's so lazy?" Zhu Lin couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
Looking around, everyone was either playing on their phones or laughing and joking around.
Even the director was smoking and playing on his phone.
Only the people setting up the equipment are working.
Shi Xi said helplessly, "Maybe this is what a small film crew is like."
Shi Xi had acted in small film crews before, but she didn't have much experience.
Moreover, even if a modern drama production crew is on a tight budget, they can still provide their own clothes and makeup.
The costumes and hair accessories in period dramas all need to be matched by makeup artists.
I guess the budget really wasn't enough.
Pei Kai initially disagreed with the hairstyle and makeup, but after the stylist brought by Shi Xi made changes, he sincerely thanked Shi Xi.
Shi Xi said, "We can help you today, but you'll have to have the makeup team do it for you afterwards, or you can bring your own makeup artist."
Pei Kai nodded: "Okay, thank you."
"By the way, have you read the script?" Shi Xi asked. "I might need to revise some parts of the script. Did you bring the screenwriter to the set? I'll have them discuss it with you."
"No." Pei Kai's answer was very simple.
Shi Xi was somewhat surprised.
Many celebrities bring their own screenwriters to the set, hoping for more screen time and a better character portrayal.
