Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Shi Xi arrived at the production team of [Nine Lives of Peace], she realized that the production team was even poorer than she had imagined.
She knew that this kind of crew that only filmed for two months must be in a hurry.
However!
Wasn’t this makeup too perfunctory?
Regardless of whether it was male or female, their clothes were all white, and they even had the beautiful description: white clothes fluttered.
Her hair was either scattered or tied up casually, and she did not wear any hair accessories.
After confirming it thrice, Shi Xi knew that she was not going to a funeral.
It was her makeup photo.
It was also the clothes she wore in most of her scenes.
“No, I’ll use my own stylist!” Shi Xi was stubborn.
Fortunately, Han Chuan had brought her a stylist. Whether it was the clothes or the hairstyle, he could settle everything for her.
Shi Xi went to communicate with the director. The director did not say anything and only told Shi Xi not to waste too much time on makeup before agreeing.
After all, the filming time for this drama was only two months.
Shi Xi felt a headache coming on. She felt as if she had fallen into a pit.
Looking at Pei Jie’s style, it was hard to explain in a few words.
The makeup artist combed Pei Jie’s hair up, put on a top hairstyle, tied half of it at the back of his head, and left half of his hair loose. Moreover, there was a strand of long hair on each side, swaying in the wind like a dying catfish.
This style was very common in games and anime.
However, anime was anime after all. How could a 2D face be brought into 3D?
If this hairstyle was used on a real person, it would be a disaster.
Shi Xi couldn’t stand it anymore and got the stylist to change Pei Jie’s hairstyle. She also made some changes to his clothes.
After all, he had to act with her, so he couldn’t be too ugly.
Pei Jie was handsome to begin with, and his temperament was quiet and reserved, allowing Shi Xi to help him.
The stylist tied up his hair and put on a crown. He turned from a lifeless catfish into a spirited young man.
When she was doing this, Shi Xi thought that she would have to communicate with the makeup team.
However, there were only a few people in the entire makeup team. They just put on the masks for the actors and that was it.
Shi Xi had brought her own makeup artist, which saved them time.
The makeup artist did not say anything about Shi Xi changing Pei Jie’s style without permission and only told them to report it to the director.
“No matter what, it’s a film company’s drama. Why are they all so lazy?” Zhu Lin could not help but mutter softly.
As far as the eye could see, everyone was either playing with their phones or playing around.
Even the director was smoking and playing with his phone.
Only the people who set up the equipment were working.
Shi Xi said helplessly, “Maybe this is just a small crew.”
Shi Xi had acted in a small film crew before, but she did not have much experience.
Moreover, no matter how poor the crew of a modern drama was, they could do their own clothes and makeup.
The costumes and hair accessories in ancient dramas had to be matched by makeup artists.
It was probably because the budget was not enough.
Pei Jie did not agree with the hairstyle and makeup at first. After the stylist brought by Shi Xi changed it, he thanked Shi Xi seriously.
“We can help you today,” Shi Xi said. “But you’ll have to get the makeup team to do it for you later, or you can bring your own makeup artist in.”
Pei Jie nodded. “Okay. Thank you.”
“By the way, have you read the script? I might have to change a part of the script,” Shi Xi asked. “Did you bring the scriptwriter with you? 1’11 let them communicate with each other.”
“No, I haven’t.” Pei Jie’s answer was very simple.
Shi Xi was a little surprised.
Many artistes would bring their own scriptwriters into the production team, wanting more scenes and a better persona..
