256 Makeup Setting
Director Sun flipped through the script hastily. Then, he thought of something and added a few more sentences. “Although you have to maintain a thin and weak appearance, you still have to continue your strength training. In the drama, you have a few fight scenes that are more explosive. That’s why you have to show that sense of strength to make the fight look good.”
“Okay, Director,” Yu Han replied obediently.
Director Sun Li closed the script and rolled it into a bundle. He pointed behind Yu Han and said, “Then go and try on your makeup with Geng Yue first.”
Yu Han followed his movements and looked back. She saw a person dressed in a neutral style behind her. She was about 27 or 28 years old and had a slender figure. It was difficult to tell if she was a male or female. She had her hands in her pockets and was leaning against the back wall.
Judging from what Director Sun Li said just now, this should be the makeup artist.
As expected, in the next second, she heard Director Sun Li introduce, “Geng Yue is the makeup artist in charge of your role. The two of you can communicate according to the role. We’ll try and adjust as we try and try to find the most suitable makeup for the role as soon as possible.”
Yu Han put on a smile and greeted, “Hello, I’m Yu Han. I’m the actress playing the third female lead, Hong Mei.”
“Geng Yue.” The other party’s voice was completely different from her appearance. It was more like a soft voice. It was confirmed that this was undoubtedly a young lady.
Just like Director Sun Li, Geng Yue sized up Yu Han from head to toe before snapping her fingers. “Not bad, she’s a good seedling.”
In fact, Yu Han had already wanted to say that the way Director Sun Li sized her up did not feel like he was sizing up a living person. Instead, it felt like he was sizing up a vase.
Although it was not offensive, it still made people feel a little uneasy. Unexpectedly, after Director Sun Li sized her up, Geng Yue also did this.
Yu Han even wondered if she was being too sensitive, or if the atmosphere in this film crew was indeed like that.
At this moment, the assistant director walked over and informed them that the set was ready and the lights had been adjusted. They could start filming the first scene of the day.
As the assistant director spoke, he glanced at Yu Han and his eyes lit up. “This is our third female lead. She’s much prettier than the previous one. Our director is good.”
Director Sun Li also smiled and said without any guilt, “Of course my judgment is not wrong.” Although his junior brother Bai Chao was the one who picked Yu Han first, he was able to discern a hero with his discerning eyes. It was also a skill to be able to poach someone from his junior brother’s production team.
Yu Han, who was being discussed by them, paid special attention to it just now. The assistant director looked at her and finally confirmed that it was not the production team’s problem, nor was it her problem. It was the problem of Director Sun Li and Geng Yue, so she was relieved.
“Let’s go and try on your makeup,” Geng Yue said softly with a cool expression. She turned around and went to the actors’ makeup area specially set up by the production team.
As there were not many actresses in the production team, Yu Han, the third female lead, followed them to a separate dressing room.
Geng Yue was a person of few words. She pressed Yu Han onto the makeup chair, then faced the light and turned her face around. She frowned and studied her carefully for a while. “Your skin is very fair, so it’s not suitable for you to put on heavy makeup under the camera. Otherwise, if you go on the big screen and magnify the details, it’ll be easy to show your makeup. This doesn’t match your character’s persona. Fortunately, your skin is good and there’s no pore and acne problem, so there’s no problem in this aspect.”
She let go of Yu Han’s face and stood up straight. “The only problem is your eyebrows. They’re too distinctive and match your personality, but they don’t match your character, so you have to shave them off.”
Yu Han covered her eyebrows and was in a dilemma. “But I still have a drama to film. If I shave my eyebrows, it won’t be a continuation of the scene.”
Geng Yue was holding a razor in her hand when she heard Yu Han’s words. She immediately raised her eyebrows and said coldly, “Are you taking part in many productions simultaneously?”
Yu Han could clearly feel the change in her emotions. She looked at her in confusion. “That’s right.”
Geng Yue threw the razor back into the makeup box. “Does the director know about this?”
Yu Han guessed that she might have misunderstood something, so she could only explain, “Director Sun knows about it. He specially came to our production team to choose people.”
“…” Geng Yue. It was indeed something that this old man would do.
Yu Han sized her up and suddenly asked, “Are you and Director Sun father and daughter?”
