"Ms. Mu, there's no need to adjust your costume. It fits perfectly."
Mu Qing knew that the next step was to start hair and makeup.
"Mom, are you tired after wearing the costume for so long?"
"I'm not tired. What should I do next?" The old lady looked excited and expectant.
"It's time to start applying makeup and styling. It will probably take an hour." The makeup artist made an estimate.
"I can totally do that."
The stylist looked at Mu Qing, waiting for her confirmation.
"Then let's start putting on makeup."
After sitting for an hour, the old lady's back and waist did feel a bit sore. The jewelry on her head was so heavy! She could hardly walk in this outfit.
"Qingqing, I finally understand why those ladies from ancient times were all so dignified and beautiful."
"Why?"
"Because they're wearing these clothes and jewelry, it's hard not to look dignified! I didn't expect filming to be so hard! I saw you had a lot of these elaborate costumes when you were filming Ups and Downs!"
"Yes, in the later period, after returning to Nanxia Palace to restore the country, the costumes were basically this kind, and the headdresses were much heavier. It took several hours to put one on."
"It's really not easy! Being an actor is so hard."
In the old lady's eyes, Mu Qing is a dedicated actor, not a star who provides entertainment for others. This circle cannot be generalized.
"We need to show the director the styling, because it has been decided before, and the effect of the old lady after putting on makeup is so good, it should be finalized and there will be no changes." The stylist said to Mu Qing.
"Qingqing, what did she mean?"
“Sometimes, we will try many different looks to achieve the best shooting effect, and the final makeup photo is the final look confirmation.”
"So that's how it is." The old lady learned something new.
When the director saw the old lady after putting on her makeup, he clapped his hands in amazement.
"Great! This is the final effect we wanted! This is truly an actor that money can't afford!"
"Can we take pictures then? What should I do?" the old lady asked quickly.
"You want to capture the scene of receiving worship, with a sense of vicissitudes of life and a majestic aura without anger."
"I think I understand." The old lady nodded.
Mu Qing helped the old lady to the set, which was a palace scene, and the other actors were ready.
Everyone looked at Madam Fei with anticipation.
I envy Mu Qing even more for having such a good life.
It seems that this time, Mu Qing's marriage into the Fei family is a certainty.
"Mom, you just sit here. You only have one line to say. Everyone, stand up!"
"Is it that simple?"
"Well, since there will be narration later, there won't be too many lines. This is the finale."
"Okay, I understand." The old lady cooperated very well and sat on the magnificent chair.
The staff nearby quickly came forward to tidy up her clothes and makeup.
"The rest of the cast is in place!"
The hall was suddenly filled with people.
"Okay, let's go for the show."
"Come, kneel down."
The old lady sat there, looking at the people around her, still in high spirits.
After two takes, the director started the formal filming.
Everyone was in great shape, especially the old lady, who grasped what the director had just said just perfectly and got it right in one take.
The old lady hadn't had enough fun when the show ended.
"Two hours for styling and two minutes for performance?"
