The hotel has a lower floor, some of which are used for makeup and styling. The hotels here are basically equipped with such rooms.

Stylists and makeup artists work as a team. Larger entertainment companies have their own stylists and makeup artists, but they will also hire others for filming.

Because when filming, there are often group performances and so on, with dozens or hundreds of people.

The makeup artist and stylist were in the lobby of the hotel below after they arrived. The fact that He Gui invested 80 million to make a movie has been rumored in Hengdian for two months. In this era, he spent 80 million to make a movie out of his own pocket.

But there are very few, and they usually find investors to share the risks.

"Lao Liu, who do you think this director is? Why haven't I heard of him?" the boss of the makeup artist team asked Lao Liu beside him.

Lao Liu was from the stylist team. When he heard this, he said: "Lao Zhang, don't be too careful. I don't know this director, but the deputy director Xu Feng has also been in this industry for more than ten years.

Now, you can’t fool others.”

"Looking at what you said, am I, Lao Zhang, that kind of person? This director is a pure newcomer." Lao Zhang looked upright.

Old Liu muttered in his heart that you just want to bully the newcomer, so he said: "If you can spend 80 million for fun, do you believe that you can spend 5 million to find someone to break your three legs?"

When Lao Zhang heard this, he chuckled: "No way, we are honest people."

Shit! Being able to be the leader in a circle like Hengdian means doing makeup, styling, props, and being a person with a bun, but you are so evil.

After a newcomer Chun Chun comes, if he has no backing and no experience, believe it or not, Director Chun Chun will cry blah blah blah.

Believe it or not, when your Chunchun-directed movie is finally released, some lawsuits may arise. Will you litigate or mediate?

Even some big production crews are being preyed upon. It would be strange if the pure new director's crew is not exploited.

At this time, Lao Zhang's phone rang. After answering the phone, Lao Zhang winked at Lao Liu and said, "Brother, I'm going to explore the road first."

There are also more than a dozen people under Lao Liu, both men and women.

In this hotel, Lao Zhang doesn't dare to mess around. The owner of this hotel is a local snake. If anyone makes trouble here, he'd better leave quickly, otherwise the walk behind will be muddy.

"Director Xu." Lao Zhang saw Xu Feng when he came up from the elevator and immediately shook hands affectionately.

"Let's go, the boss is waiting." Xu Feng said.

Lao Zhang patted his chest: "Don't worry, we have been doing this for so long, there will definitely be no problem."

When he came to a dressing room, Lao Zhang's eyes lit up when he saw these actresses. These actors are okay, but I don't know who is the starring role.

"This is the boss..." When Lao Zhang saw He Gui, he stretched out his hand to shake hands affectionately.

"No need, let's try it out first. If you are satisfied, shake hands. If not, just pretend we haven't met." He Gui waved his hand and said.

Why don't you understand the meaning of this? Before the development of Xintian Film and Television City in the parallel world, if you didn't manage the up and down of a certain studio well, one department would take you some time, and you would be lonely filming.

A person like Lao Zhang would not show dissatisfaction just because He Gui had a bad attitude. He immediately said with fear of his chest: "Just keep an eye on it."

"This is the makeup requirement. You choose one to try out and let's get started." He Gui was too lazy to say that much. He Gui had spent a lot of time on the crew of Xintian in the parallel world and had learned makeup and styling himself.

The makeup requirements are different for different occasions and eras... Of course, the appearance of hairspray and other things in some anti-war movies is really inappropriate. The clothes are also brand new, and there are leather pants...

Lao Zhang first read the requirements, and then started to do the work. Lao Liu didn't know much, so he asked his subordinates with the best skills to start the work, and he chose Zhang Qingqing.

Different face shapes require different makeup to bring out different styles and temperaments.

Different occasions also require different makeup. After working on it for nearly forty minutes, Lao Zhang was very satisfied with the workmanship of his men.

"Boss, look..." Lao Zhang turned back and looked at He Gui and Xu Feng.

Xu Feng felt very satisfied. He Gui smacked his lips when he saw the result: "Xu Feng, take a photo of this makeup."

After Xu Feng took the photo, He Gui asked Zhang Qingqing to remove his makeup, and then he took out a makeup box and started to dress up. Lao Zhang was stunned when he saw it.

He Gui's work was very fast, with his hands moving back and forth. He Gui finished the work in more than 20 minutes.

Xu Feng was also surprised when he saw He Gui's makeup, looked at the previous photos on his phone, and then looked at Lao Zhang who looked a little confused.

"Tell yourself, whose one is more suitable?" He Gui looked at Lao Zhang and asked.

Lao Zhang is now having an awkward comparison. If it is inappropriate, does that mean he doesn’t need to do it himself?

But their technology is better than yours, so what can I say?

This is what people who rely on technology are like this. If you want to outsmart others, you must first not be picky about your skills. If others have better skills than you, then it is best to keep your tail between your legs.

"Boss, you are awesome." Lao Zhang couldn't be unconscionable, so he said matter-of-factly.

"You know what I'm doing. Work hard in the future. If you don't understand, just ask more questions. I'll give you a final makeup look every time."

"Xu Feng, sign the contract and let the next wave of people give it a try." He Gui then said to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng nodded immediately, knowing that He Gui was controlling this group of people, he immediately nodded: "Okay."

Lao Zhang and Xu Feng went to sign the contract. When they left the door, Lao Zhang asked: "Brother Xu, what kind of god is this boss He? Why haven't we heard of him? He must be famous for his skills."

"Our boss is not from this industry. Filming is just a hobby. However, although the boss is not from this industry, if anyone offends the boss, hehe, hehe, he will definitely not be able to survive in the entertainment industry... Well, many circles will not be able to survive." Xu

Feng said.

Of course, what Xu Feng said is true. In addition, Xu Feng is paving the way for the future. After all, the film and television company has to run its own business, and it is inevitable to deal with this group of people. When dealing with this group of people, it is necessary to suppress this group of people.

Lao Zhang nodded immediately: "I, Lao Zhang, are not that kind of person. Please take care of me from Brother Xu in the future."

"No problem." Xu Feng didn't have any conditions or anything, after all, Xu Feng understood what He Gui meant.

When Lao Zhang got off the elevator, he saw Lao Liu getting up. Lao Liu waited on purpose.

"How's it going?" Lao Liu saw Lao Zhang and asked quickly.

Lao Zhang smacked his lips: "Brother, you are in trouble. You have met a capable person. Be careful..."

After Lao Liu arrived, he also followed the requirements, choosing clothes and headgear. After being told by Lao Zhang, Lao Liu kept his posture low. Looking at the props on display, he knew that this crew was unusual, with the style of headgear and so on.

There are dozens of kinds, and there are also dozens of kinds of fans, handkerchiefs, clothes, shoes, etc.

There are so many ordinary props. After playing with them for a while, he nodded and bowed and said: "Boss, please give me some advice."

He Gui followed the old rules and asked Xu Feng to record the video, and then asked Zhang Qingqing to take two steps.

Then I tinkered for a while, changing my headdress, a different color handkerchief, and a fan.

"High, high." After reading it, Lao Liu was filled with admiration. With a few simple adjustments, his temperament suddenly changed, which brought out the person's temperament.

"Your styling is not good, it's still at a relatively low level. The highest level of styling is based on people. Regardless of headgear, things, or clothes, the first thing people see is the person, not the clothes.

, not a headgear either." He Gui looked at Lao Liu and said.

When Lao Liu heard this, he nodded, and the stylist behind him also lit up.

"It's okay, Xu Feng, go ahead and sign the contract." He Gui waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss. We will definitely study hard." Lao Liu also knows that if someone has this ability, he should not do anything wrong, otherwise he will kick him away and then recruit his group of people. You say

Will these people under my command run away to the other side?

After Lao Liu left, Xu Xiaoqin looked at Zhang Qingqing's appearance: "Boss, you are very good at dressing up. Do you have many girlfriends?"

"Nonsense, I only have two or three." He Gui glared angrily.

These artists stared with wide eyes, just two or three?

"Boss, help me choose a set, and I'll take a photo."

"Boss, I want it too, I want to post it on Moments too."

He Gui quickly said: "There are all of them. We will dress up for the audition tomorrow..."

"Hurry back and read the script." When they heard about the audition, these girls became nervous.

After sending these girls away, He Gui and Xu Feng went to see the studio, props and other things.

As expected, Xu Feng has been in this industry for a long time, and he is familiar with the business here, and there is no one who comes here to make noises.

Everything is basically arranged in place, and the props in the studio are almost ready. We will shoot Fan Lou first, and the prop team will organize the props according to the requirements.

"Not many people are willing to spend such money now. Most of the time the interior is just a piece of green cloth." Xu Feng looked at the constructed prop Fan Hu, which cost a lot of money.

He Gui nodded. Nowadays, actors often don't know what the background of their acting is. There are no stage props, just green cloth. The actors are doing various actions awkwardly. It's no wonder that some people now say that their acting skills are not good.

Often these large investments of tens or hundreds of millions, except for the starring roles, the rest are eaten up by the post-production. As for how much it will cost in the post-production, there is no way to say, green cloth cutouts, special effects, these are three to five.

One million is fine, 30 to 50 million is not much, even hundreds of millions can be calculated.

This is why the special effects that cost tens of millions of dollars are only 50 cents... because they actually fall into the hands of the special effects producers, only 50 cents, and the rest is just tea fees... deduct some... consulting fees...

What is the consultation fee? That is to say, what effect do you want to achieve by cutting out the drawing? If you don’t consult certain people, then Party A will fail the acceptance. If you consult, you will pass.

There are many internal financial black holes...many.

As for the actual setting, there is basically no need for special effects, editing, or dubbing in this post-production process. In other words, if there are a few more processes, then... there will be more tricks.

Anyway, it’s just so-and-so’s job to generate income, open source and so on. Then the next step is labor outsourcing, canteen outsourcing, cleaning outsourcing… ahem….

He Gui didn't say anything. Fan Lu used more of them here. As for the interior scenes in other rooms, all physical props were used.

The next day came the most critical part of the audition, which was a bit inappropriate. This was a drama with three male leads and one female lead, but the company signed contracts with eleven female artists.

Do you think this boss’s purpose is pure?
