305 Acting skills

However, Jiang SE’s skin was very good, so he had to rely on the makeup artist’s skills.

She first applied the primer on Jiang SE’s face before picking out the foundation and applying it. This was a huge project. Apart from her face, she also had to apply the powder on her neck, arms, fingers, and legs.

The makeup artist and her assistant had to make sure that the colors were even and dark at the end of the makeup. It took them more than ten minutes to finish the job.

!!
She did not know when Zhao rang had arrived. When he first arrived, Jiang se was putting on her makeup with her eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, he saw himself in the mirror with his arms crossed over his chest. He was clearly very satisfied with Jiang SE’s pale and listless face. He nodded.

On the other hand, the makeup artist glanced worriedly at Xia Chaoqun, who was crossing his arms. Even though she did not say a word, just by standing there, her aura was already very powerful.

Jiang se was an artiste under her. Her current makeup made her look more mature than before. This was a form of damage to an artiste’s image. The makeup artist was worried that she would pick on her and stop her. However, even after she finished her first job, no one stopped her, from Xia Chaoqun to mo Anqi and even Jiang se.

As the makeup artist heaved a sigh of relief, she took out an eyeshadow brush. After some thought, she cast a shadow over Jiang SE’s eyes and her lower eyelids with a lilac shade to make her look like she had eye bags.

She had lost a lot of weight. After her face became smaller, her eyes seemed to have become bigger. Coupled with the faint eye bags, she looked older and more tired.

“Very good,” he said. Zhao rang looked at it for a while and nodded in satisfaction.

The mirror reflected the image of a tired, thin woman with her hair hanging loose. Because of the eye bags, she looked a lot more dispirited. Zhao rang thought for a moment and said, ” add a few more fine lines. Also … he walked around and pointed in the direction of Jiang SE’s eyes.

“Make the dark circles under your eyes more serious.”

After Zhang Yuqin lost her daughter, it should be difficult for her to fall asleep. The script also mentioned that she had insomnia all night and could not sleep at all. She always heard her daughter calling her sweetly in her sleep, ” “Mom.”

That was why her insomnia was very serious, and the dark circles under her eyes were very obvious.

The makeup artist nodded. She couldn’t bear to do anything to this beautiful face.

As soon as the shadow fell on her, she looked even more dejected. She looked rather gloomy, and her blush was mainly dark brown. After she was done with her makeup, Jiang se looked at herself in the mirror. Her facial features were still the same, but she gave off a completely different feeling.

“Pay attention to your hair too.”

After Zhao rang was satisfied with her makeup, his gaze fell on Jiang SE’s hair. Her hair was well taken care of, but it was exactly what Zhang Yuqin needed the least. Especially after her daughter’s accident, she could not care about her image. Therefore, the hairstylist first made Jiang SE’s hair unkempt before tying it up. A few strands fell on her forehead. At Zhao rang’s signal, the makeup artist even took out a grayish-white mascara and carefully applied it on Jiang SE’s hair. He wanted to make a few strands of white hair and try to satisfy Zhao rang’s requirements in the details.

By the time she was done with her makeup, almost two hours had passed. The sun was shining brightly outside. Jiang se sat there for a long time before she stretched out her hand.

The crew had already started moving. She looked through the script. In order to make her lips look dry and dehydrated, Jiang se did not dare to drink a single sip of water from the morning until now, no matter how thirsty she was.

When the production crew confirmed that there were no mistakes, Zhao rang made a hand gesture. The script supervisor took out a loudspeaker and shouted. Jiang se walked to the position where she was ready to be filmed and indicated that she was ready as well.

This time, it was just a test shot. Jiang se followed the positioning from yesterday while the extras followed. The lighting technician memorized their positions while the cameraman adjusted the camera lens. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she touched up her makeup again. The rehearsal ended at around 1 p.m. Before they officially started filming.

Due to the filming location and lighting, other than the recording microphone, the recording assistant arranged a wireless headset for her and carefully hid it under her clothes so that she could adjust the output of the voice in the post-production. After that, she left the performance circle.

In reality, Jiang se had not had a single sip of water since she woke up in the morning. It was already past noon. With her makeup on, she had not finished her scenes for the day. Naturally, she could not eat.

She slowly walked into the camera and imagined Zhang Yuqin’s appearance when he stepped into the former residence. His head was lowered, and his shoulders drooped a little, which made him look even more dejected.

The neighbors around her slowly walked past her, as if they had recognized her. They seemed to be greeting her, but she was like a ghost, turning a deaf ear to their greetings.

These people were looking at her with sympathy in their eyes. She knew that they thought that something had happened to her ZhuZhu.

The photographer carried the equipment and sat on a temporarily installed rail car, sliding the camera to take a shot of her face.

Zhao rang sat in the distance. He could see Jiang SE’s face through the viewfinder. At this moment, her eyes were lifeless, like a wandering spirit.

Zhao rang had actually seen her improvising at Liu Ye’s studio the other day. Her scene with Liu Ye back then showed that she was not just a pretty face, which was why Liu Ye agreed to work with her.

However, Jiang SE’s current performance was not any worse than her own. In fact, it was even better.

The feeling of dejection seemed to come from the bottom of her heart and spread from the inside out. The camera was aimed at her face and captured her expression. The wind blew at her hair and her steps were heavy. In the 20-second long shot, her eyes did not blink and she maintained a state of emptiness. However, her lips were tightly pursed and her indifference was mixed with stubbornness. She was like a woman who had lost her soul and was walking on the streets.

“That’s great!”

Zhao rang clenched one hand into a fist and hit her other palm. She was also very careful in her actions. Her breathing was almost non-existent, her footsteps were unusually heavy, and even her old clothes were too big for her. There was no need for words to express her depression to its fullest.

“OK!”

Zhao rang waved his hand. There was no time wasted in this part, and they immediately moved on to the shooting of the next part.

In the next scene, she returned to the Deng family and had a conversation with Deng hai.

Everyone around knew that something had happened to the Deng family. The only daughter of the Deng family, ZhuZhu, had met with an accident. From the moment she found out about the accident, Zhang Yuqin had less time to go home. In the past few months, she had been running around the vicinity, looking for ZhuZhu’s whereabouts.

When she was thirsty, she would drink some water. When she was hungry, she would buy something to fill her stomach. The reason why she was still alive was because she wanted to find her daughter’s whereabouts. She wanted to see her dead.

She returned to the Deng family’s house. The house that she had not seen for a few months was a little familiar, but also a little unfamiliar.

In the past, ZhuZhu would move a small table and do her homework outside while waiting for her to come home.
