Chapter 3 The underworld has started filming

Adu is one of the most awesome directors in the Chinese film industry today. Of course, Adu is not the one who sings love songs affectionately. Adu's nickname is Du Dapao, and his real name is Du Qifeng. Usually, people who are familiar with him call him Adu.

Galaxy Image Company was founded by Adu raising funds ten years ago, and its largest shareholder is Luo Shouyao. The films produced by Galaxy Company over the past ten years are almost all classics worshipped by movie fans, and Galaxy Company has gradually squeezed into the ranks of the most powerful production companies in Hong Kong.

At this moment, Adu was in front of Chu Yue. Originally, such things should have been done by producers, but Chinese films, especially Hong Kong films, usually take over directors, producers, and producers, so it is not surprising that such a scene occurs.

"You are Lao Wang's apprentice Chu Yue, and you are still very young." In recent years, Adu, whose status has been rising and his body has also risen, took a deep breath of the cigar in his mouth, sprayed out thick and fragrant smoke, and handed over the script with a serious expression: "Please take the script back and check it out, and make sure how it needs to be modified then!"

Chu Yue opened his mouth and took the script. He admired Adu a little. After changing to other directors, he would never think of giving the script to the makeup artist to determine how the makeup should be used so that the characters can be portrayed to the deepest.

Adu couldn't help but suck the smoke, staring at Chu Yue with a burning gaze, and suddenly said curiously: "I seem to have seen you in some video, is it "Initial D"?"

Chu Yue suddenly burst into laughter and quickly explained: "Last year, director Er Dongsheng asked me to play a guest role in "I Can't Forget", and this year he also played a guest role in "Initial D"!"

"So that's how it is!" After relieving the doubts in his heart, Adu suddenly realized, nodded repeatedly, staring at Chu Yue's gaze was even more interesting: "Your image is very good, why don't you go to act?"

Image? Chu Yue's hands were not resting on his chin, and he really didn't think his image was good. At first, he came to Hong Kong just to see the Hong Kong movies that accompanied him, to see Hong Kong, and to satisfy his long-standing dream. He entered the film industry because of his makeup skills, which was unexpected.

However, we cannot help but admit that Chu Yue's image is indeed not bad. He is not tall, only 1.73 meters tall, but his body shape is distributed quite evenly, his facial features are also full of spirit, and he is also very attractive.

The more Adu looked at him, the more he liked him, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that Chu Yue had a good image. After thinking about it, he said, "I think you have strong plasticity. If you act, you can adapt to many roles. It will be difficult to find such actors. I may need you to make a guest appearance here. Are you interested?"

Chu Yue took a sip of water and his mind was quickly filled with thousands of thoughts. In fact, he was just planning to come to the Hong Kong film industry to see it. He had been playing for a few years before doing other things. Now that he encountered such a thing, he might have to try it, at least it was also a witness. He nodded and agreed, and Adu smiled with satisfaction...

You must do your work seriously. This is Chu Yue's style, so he is drinking coffee while enjoying the script. The script is quite detailed, and the story summary is the leader of the underworld elections. The plot is full of tension and is worthy of being You Hai's work.

What puzzled Chu Yue was that in terms of the plot itself, it seemed that it did not have a majestic momentum, but some lines seemed a little bit arrogant. Could it be that Adu wanted to do the same small video as before? Chu Yue felt a little confused.

However, the theme of the film is in Adu's head, and Chu Yue can't help it. After carefully appreciating the script several times, the more he felt a little inexplicably throbbing. Although the plot is just the leader in the gangsters, the lines and details in all aspects reflect the changes and history of the Hong Kong gangsters.

The sharp insight quickly made Chu Yue realize the true charm of "The Underworld", and Chu Yue took a deep breath. Filmed with the script. If Adu was filmed well enough, this video might not have a chance to become an epic classic of Chinese gangsters.

Just as he was thinking, Long Jiahao came, Chu Yue went to open the door and threw the script to him: "Look at it, this is written by the screenwriter you admire the most. Just learn it at your level!"

"Youhai!" Long Jiahao widened his eyes, took the script without hesitation, and admired it with all his attention. After a while, he struggled out of the script, and felt deeply moved: "Youhai is worthy of being my favorite screenwriter. Every script is so classic. If I could learn half of him, I would be satisfied."

"Demon..." Chu Yue suddenly burst into laughter. What You Hai himself is best at is the beginning, ending, turning and closing between details and overall layout. What is the meaning of only half of it: "Don't belittle yourself. I think your script is not bad, but no one wants it!"

Long Jiahao stood up and glared at Chu Yue: "What does it mean to be good, but no one wants it, it hurts my feelings too much!" Originally, since it is not bad, why no one wants it!

Chu Yue suppressed his smile and slowly sipped Lanshan Coffee and smiled cunningly: "The film market is in a downturn now, and it's good to have a show. Don't think too much about your script now!" Long Jiahao is a student from the Hong Kong Baptist Department of Medicine. The film is a major. Even if he has good imagination and architectural abilities, it is completely imaginable that the script is not bad.

"That's... it's good to have a job." Long Jiahao suddenly slid on the sofa in frustration. The Hong Kong film market is now bleak, which is something the whole world knows. Many Hong Kong filmmakers have gone north to develop in the mainland. It's really good that they can have a show now.

Chu Yue comforted Long Jiahao and smiled cheerfully: "Don't be too frustrated. Now that we take on this drama, it may be our turnaround..."

They didn't wait too long, and the filming of "The Underworld" was launched. Chu Yue led his men to appear on the set. They were obviously used to seeing big stars, so although there were stars here, they didn't agree with it.

If someone who doesn't know how to shoot the movie, he would definitely not have thought that there are makeup artists like Chu Yue. In fact, whether it is a makeup artist or a stylist in a play, they all have subordinates. Otherwise, if there are so many actors in a crew, how can they be busy? In a sense, Chu Yue is actually the makeup commander in a play. He only needs to be in charge of the guidance, and some specific things can be left to his subordinates.

However, Chu Yue had to do the first day of work himself, because he needed to put the actors into makeup for the director to take a look. The director was satisfied and then continued to do it in this way.

In fact, it is not difficult to put on makeup. What is difficult is how to grasp the characteristics of a person. For example, if a person with high cheekbones needs to hide this point. Chu Yue’s method is to rely on increasing or reducing the shadows to affect the contrast of light on the face and skin, and then conceal this shortcoming.

Of course, this is the trick to putting makeup on women and the most common method. It is not easy to grasp to put makeup on movie characters. For example, in the current drama, Liang Jiahui's character is irritable and irritable, and his mind is relatively simple, which is worth thinking about.

In the crew's makeup car, five subordinates, including Long Jiahao, were waiting for Chu Yue to give orders. Chu Yue was agile to observe Liang Jiahui's face. If anyone else was a little unaccustomed, but an old actor like Liang Jiahui was obviously completely used to it, and just waited quietly.

Recalling Liang Jiahui's character in the play, Chu Yue nodded thoughtfully. His master had put on makeup for actors with tough faces such as Cheng Xuan'an, and told him that he would rather do too much to directly highlight the edges and toughness of such actors and roles.

Of course, Chu Yue has never been a person who only knows how to read the script. If Liang Jiahui's character in the play is not as simple as his mind, he would rather hide some edges and angles, and then the actor will appear more ferocious and terrifying when he gets angry in the play. However, since the character's mind is relatively simple, there is no need to be too troublesome.

Thinking of this, Chu Yue invited a subordinate to explain: "For this makeup, you just need to highlight his facial features and edges. The complexion is a little darker, but not too much!"

After explaining a few words, Chu Yue quickly came behind Ren Dahua, leaned down and observed Ren Dahua's face for a while, but was a little embarrassed. Ren Dahua's character is very deep and has a mind-boggling route. It is difficult to create this image by relying solely on makeup.
