Zhang Fangyuan waited for a while after dialing the phone, but there was no answer. Zhang Fangyuan said, "Teacher Yu may be old and didn't hear the phone."

I was about to hang up.

But just as his thumb was lifted, the phone suddenly came out: "Hey."

A somewhat old voice came, and Zhang Fangyuan quickly turned on the phone without lifting, then put on a smile on his face and said, "Teacher Yu is sorry to disturb you now. Are you busy now?"

"Is it Director Zhang?" The voice came from the phone again.

Although Zhang Fangyuan's question was not answered, Zhang Fangyuan didn't care about those things at this moment, and continued to smile and said, "Yes, yes, it's me Xiao Zhang."

"Ah, it's Director Zhang. I'm not busy now. Are you doing anything?"

"That's it." Zhang Fangyuan sorted out his thoughts, glanced at Chen Nian and then said to his phone: "It's about the style of ancient Kunqu opera flower costumes. I want to ask you about this."

"Clothes in ancient times are a bit old. Why don't Director Zhang come to my house to sit? I'll tell you a good talk. It happened to be having a meal at my house at noon. We old guys still remember the last time you shot a Kunqu opera promotional video. Nowadays, young people don't watch these things anymore, so I'll tell you..."

As he talked on the other side of the phone, he couldn't hear it. As if he was talking, Zhang Fangyuan was a little overwhelmed: "That... Teacher Yu, I'm shooting now, and I'm probably going to stay on the set during this period. After this time, I'll visit you in person. And this time there's nothing else about the costume props, but there's a style on the skirt. Do you remember if it has pleated or no pleated?"

"Skirt? Are you talking about Huadan?"

"Yes, yes, it's the flower actress."

"Oh, for Huadan...the skirts on the outside of the clothes of Huadan are generally pleated, and in ancient times, these details were paid more attention to. On the one hand, having pleated can make the clothes look more three-dimensional and also give actors more room for action. This kind of skirt is similar to ordinary skirts, but if there are any other movements or big strides, having pleated can also make their activities more flexible."

"But I didn't expect Xiao Zhang, you are going to shoot a promotional video again. Where are you shooting? Can I go and take a look?"

The other party started talking again, and the questions were asked one after another. Zhang Fangyuan couldn't even insert it in. Finally, he finally found the time for Teacher Yu to breathe and then quickly interrupted and said, "So that's the case. We are now in the photography base in Yangzhou. Teacher Yu, are you going to come here? That's it. If you come, send me a message or call me, and I'll ask someone to pick you up."

"It's okay, I can just take the bus myself."

"How can that work? If you want to come, you must tell me, otherwise if you come by the bus, I won't let you come in and see you. You are my senior, and I'm afraid that someone will be stabbed in the back."

Zhang Fangyuan obviously knew very well how to deal with these old artists, and sometimes he was serious and sometimes he joked. Teacher Yu seemed to be very good at this. He heard Zhang Fangyuan say and say jokingly and agree: "Okay, then I will trouble Director Zhang then."

"No trouble, no trouble, Teacher Yu is so polite. Just call me Xiao Zhang in the future."

"Hahaha, OK, then that's it today, see you director Zhang."

"Goodbye, Teacher Yu."

After hanging up the phone with unsatisfactory feelings, Zhang Fangyuan was still immersed in the conversation with the other party. It was obvious that Teacher Yu was very easy to talk to. After chatting like this, Zhang Fangyuan forgot about the previous argument with Chen Nian.

When he raised his head, he remembered the main purpose of his call this time.

"Teacher Chen, it seems you are right. I may have thought it was bad before. I remembered other things. Then we will follow what Teacher Chen said. I'm sorry to argue with you for a long time before."

Chen Nian just saw that the other party and the old artist had a great time, and the teacher Yu on the opposite side was quite polite to Zhang Fangyuan, which shows that Zhang Fangyuan is not the kind of person who knows how to be a human being, but may be a little serious and stubborn in work.

However, after learning that he was wrong, he would not be stubborn, but instead admitted it happily, which made Chen Nian feel very comfortable.

"It's okay, I only learned it by chance. And Director Zhang has filmed so many promotional videos, and no matter how much I know, an amateur, how I just happened to meet it."

"Hahaha, Teacher Chen is so good at speaking. Now we basically don't have any big problems. Why don't Teacher Chen put some makeup on Hongdou first, and then change into the prepared clothes to see how the makeup is effective?"

"good."

Seeing Chen Nian and An Hongdou nodding, Zhang Fangyuan and Liu Qingsong also stood up and prepared to leave: "Then let's not disturb you now. Mr. Liu may have something to do, so I have to watch the on-site arrangements. After you get ready, just call the assistant. If it's noon in a while, we're ordering, and the assistant will also come to ask you what you want to eat, so just tell the assistant directly what you want to eat."

"Okay, the trouble just arrived."

"It's okay, then you guys are busy first, Mr. Liu and I will leave first."

As the sound of closing the door sounded, only Chen Nianhe Anhong Anren was left in the room.

"Then let's start too?"

"good."

An Hongdou nodded. She didn't put on makeup when she came out in the morning, because if she came here to change her suit, she would have to take off all the makeup she had before.

I also have to save money to buy a house, so I naturally save as much as possible.

An Hongdou went there to wash her face, while Chen Nian took out all the ingredients needed and placed them on the table.

And when I was striking it, I already thought about it.

Regarding the skills of painting makeup, Chen Nian had already practiced to the level of proficiency in the rehabilitation space before. Otherwise, if he had to be so vacant for two or three years, he would have forgotten it.

Soon, Hongdou finished facial cleansing, and the base color that Chen Nian had already taken out at this time was the first to use. The ones that Liu Qingsong bought were already considered very good, so they were very rich in color and type.

Therefore, the first thing that Chen Nian chose was a tender flesh-colored base color. Since An Hongdou's skin color was whiter, some yellow was added slightly. After mixing the color well, Chen Nian hooked up a large piece of base color with his hands and applied it to An Hongdou's cheeks, chin, nose tip and forehead.

Then start to apply it evenly with your hands.

An Hongdou just closed her eyes, raised her head slightly upward, and her delicate melon-shaped face was allowed to be applied casually by the old man.

While Chen Nian was applying her forehead, An Hongdou asked curiously: "When we were shooting in Chengdu, there were makeup artists who painted modern Kunqu opera makeup for us, but she used a sponge at that time."

Chen Nian couldn't help but blush when she heard this. He admitted that he was indeed selfish, but even if there was one, it was just a little bit. In fact, because Chen Nian didn't use beauty eggs to apply the base color, and he used to use his hands before, it was a bit uncomfortable to ask him to change the tool suddenly.

But he certainly couldn't say that, but fortunately he had a sudden inspiration: "What they wanted was makeup from the Republic of China and ancient times. People at that time were like this. Although modern tools could also produce effects, it was like hand-cut noodles and machine-cut noodles."

After hearing this, An Hongdou said "Oh" thoughtfully.

"It's worthy of you! I'm hungry when I use metaphors."

"Didn't you just had it in the morning?"

"The morning is morning, is it good now? You have to figure out this point, people are constantly digesting..."

"Okay, okay, then I can only ask you to wait a while, and we will eat until noon."

While speaking, Chen Nian carefully applied the oil paint on An Hongdou's face. The whole process took about ten minutes.

Moreover, at first, Chen Nian felt a little charming, but gradually he got into the state and only had An Hongdou's face and the oil paints on his face. There was only one purpose in his heart, which was to apply these oil paints evenly first.

When the first step was completed, Chen Nian looked carefully and found that it was already very good. He used a sponge to shoot, which was the effect.

After doing this, Chen Nian went to wash his hands aside. After coming back, he opened another box and picked up a piece of bright red oil paint on both sides of the red beans.

Spread it in layers, and the initial movement was a bit heavy, but gradually the movement began to become gentle.

From the eyelids to the side of half of the cheek.

From top to bottom.

From the inside to the outside.

The color is a process of gradually becoming lighter. When it reaches the cheeks, the whole color has turned into a very light pink.

It looks quite pink at first glance.

At this time, An Hongdou looked at the glass and the difference between the two sides immediately emerged.

Damn, am I so beautiful?

An Hongdou couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.

But now only one side has been completed. As An Hongdou closed her eyes again, Chen Nian began to gently point the color on her fingers at the position above her eyelids, and then slowly apply it on her cheeks.

After finishing the left, then go to the right, until the cheeks on both sides are finished, and then the old woman slightly distances to take a look.

“It’s very symmetrical, and the color transition is very natural.”

The work of this part took half an hour to complete, mainly because the colors must be applied very evenly, and the symmetry is not only symmetrical, but also the colors on the same positions on both sides must be the same.

"The makeup of the flower actresses in Kunqu Opera is generally very soft, because the characters of the flower actresses in Kunqu Opera are also soft. In today's terms, they are soft girls. If they are male characters, the lines and transitions may be a little harder."

"I learned it, but I didn't expect that as a girl, I, a boy, knows makeup as well, as you, is so ashamed!"

Chen Nian couldn't help feeling a little proud when he heard this. But he continued to say, "Yes, and your profession is a singer, and mine is a chef."

"I was even more hit by what you said."

While the two were talking, Chen Nian applied something like a highlight in the cosmetics to An Hongdou's nose bridge and pushed it evenly.

This will also make the nose look more three-dimensional and full.

Then put a layer of powder on the current makeup, with the purpose of setting the previous makeup on the face.

This step does not take a very long time, and the powder comes with a puff inside. Although Chen Nian doesn't want to use this thing very much, the powder is different from oil paint, and it can't be grasped with his hands, which is not easy to do.

After setting the makeup, Aged Nian started applying rouge again, and at this point he used a brush again.

Chen Nian pointed some rouge at the front of the brush, and began to gently brush the background color around the eyes. The purpose was to deepen the color here, and also to make the pink rouge overlap with the background color and look more colorful.

But in addition to around the eyes, Chen Nian also brushed the sides of his nose, which was also to make the nose line clearer.

"I feel like a 15 or 16-year-old girl, too tender!" An Hongdou opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but exclaim.

Just yesterday, Chen Nian painted An Hongdou once, but even when he opened his eyes, he was only concerned about looking at Chen Nian.

At this time, I focused on my makeup and realized that I could look so beautiful.

No, this can no longer be said to be beautiful, this is called beauty.

But the makeup has to continue. After finishing the painting, the face and eyes are finished. The eyeliner used in opera is a bit similar to the eyeliner pen and eyeliner cream used for daily makeup, but the texture is slightly drier than the two. The old movements skillfully outline the curve on Hongdou's eyes and gently use his hands to lift An Hongdou's temples upwards and pull them backwards.

After finishing the upper and lower eyeliners, An Hongdou's eyes also became the common phoenix eyes in opera. In addition, Chen Nian used a pot black to gently dim the color on the double eyelids, which made it become a little more layered. This time, even if An Hongdou's eyes looked very vivid from a distance, they now have a lot of charm of opera makeup.

Then Chen Nian drew an eyebrow and put some black on the lower eyelid before starting to draw his mouth.

When drawing my mouth, A Nian originally wanted to use her hands, because she would be more accustomed to using her hands.

But looking at An Hongdou's lips, he couldn't help swallowing secretly.

After thinking about it for a while, he picked up the brush beside him. It was not that he didn't want it, but that Chen Nian felt that he might not be able to withstand such a test.
Chapter completed!
