Chapter 1123
As an artist who regards money as dirt, Grayson's hand speed directly reflects his fanaticism. In just a quarter of an hour, he had compared the prepared suits on Qin Jue one after another, and decided decisively which one to discard and which one to keep.
"I have a question."
Seeing that he was about to be pushed to the dressing table and sat down, Qin Jue spoke in time, "Grayson, have you prepared a script?"
"The kind with lines written all over it? Of course not."
Grayson gestured to the blond makeup artist to start working, "You don't need to talk."
"silent?"
Qin Jue said and waved, asking Shen Zhenzhen and Song Zhihan, who were standing not far away, to come over and watch and learn.
"That's understandable - although the finished product will definitely have a soundtrack."
Grayson handed the clothes to Shi Meng, and immediately looked at Qin Jing in the mirror, winking slyly:
"I suspect this is the main reason why BOSS kept his job."
Qin Jue wanted to laugh, but the makeup artist held her chin, so she only raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
“What’s the story of this outfit I’m about to shoot?”
Qin Jue's question successfully started Grayson's conversation. In the following time, his eloquent explanation became the only BGM for Qin Jue's makeup. It was more like a class than a director's lecture. The name of the class can be summarized as " A brief history of Western fashion in the middle and late last century: the imprint of the times in the fragrant clothes and shadows."
Qin Jue was secretly speechless when he heard this.
Grayson spoke very comprehensively, effectively combining the political, economic, and cultural conditions of the time, and sorting out the development of aesthetics and popular fashion in each stage of the EU Federation and Asia from the 1940s to the 1980s very clearly. After listening to it, I felt like I had witnessed it with my own eyes. It tells a history about "beauty", with a mellow and rich flavor.
"Ah, the old and new times are so intoxicating."
Grayson squinted his eyes and sighed softly, "Zayde, you must have similar feelings."
Qin Jue thought of that special period in the modern history of the Dragon Kingdom, and the old cities, beaches, theaters, casinos, military uniforms, mandarin jackets, and cheongsam dresses appeared in front of his eyes. At that time, all kinds of people were running in the streets and docks, or talking and laughing in the ballrooms of mansions. The flames of war are raging, people are drunk and rich, oil-paper umbrellas stand through the misty rain, telling the story of the love of children under the righteousness of family and country; the gramophone sings soft words and sweet sounds, watching the gorgeous and corrupt drunken dreams.
Modern retro... Qin Jue sighed: "You are right, the era that inherits the old society and the new era has its own charm and romance."
I wonder if I will have the opportunity to star in a film and television production with this theme in the future. She thinks divergently.
"I like your answer!" Grayson walked around in the pile of vintage clothes. "Hey, if Darren were here, he would definitely talk about 'fashion is a circle' and 'capture the consumer group's filter of unpopular aesthetics' , 'What was popular in the past is now a niche, we should grasp the rare and out-of-print characteristics of vintage items to maximize their value'... I really hate these damn businessmen!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and held up the empty sleeves of one of the dresses, as if kissing the hand of a beautiful woman.
"People are addicted to vintage clothes. They pursue beauty that carries a rich history and epitome of the times. They are nostalgic for the old stories of his or her great-grandfather and great-grandmother's era. Oh, what a fascinating memory..."
Qin Jue let go of his thoughts and was led away by Grayson's narration. He gradually became emotionally immersed, and his temperament showed corresponding changes.
"Okay Grayson, my dear old man, I understand what you're trying to say."
This strong translation accent made Shi Meng, who was holding the costume, almost laugh out loud. However, Qin Jue had a strong sense of belief in the drama, and there was no embarrassment. She continued in her unique lazy tone:
"But have you forgotten something? I mean, you should at least tell me the camera location and footage later."
"Of course!"
Grayson snapped his fingers. Qin Jue waited quietly for the next step, but there was no movement from him.
"?" Qin Jue turned his face slightly while putting on makeup and glanced towards Grayson.
Grayson was staring at the vintage dress in front of him seriously, not knowing what he was thinking.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes passed. Grayson suddenly came to life from this sculpture state and asked a question that surprised Shen Zhenzhen, Zhan Xin and others.
"I have a new idea, Zayde," he said cheerfully, "Would you mind wearing women's clothing?"
Qin Jue, who had almost finished his makeup, was slightly startled when he saw himself in the mirror, and then showed a cheerful smile.
"Absolutely not."
…
The filming of the commercial lasted all day.
In the end, even Shen Zhenzhen, the most motivated member of Qin Jue's own makeup team, was afraid of hearing Grayson's words "I have a new idea" again.
Did you say that foreigners don’t like to work overtime?
Stereotypes are not reliable at all!
...No, before my boss came, this Grayson also ran faster than anyone else after get off work!
That is indeed the boss’s problem! ——Uh, no, no, no, how could the boss have a problem? Withdraw withdraw.
The boss is just so good-looking, temperamental and good at acting that he has become Grayson’s muse. How innocent the boss is!
The complaints in his mind were running up one by one. At two o'clock in the morning, Shen Zhenzhen collapsed in the waiting room, and a tired moan that was almost like a dog's belt slowly came out of her throat.
"I will never complain again that our boss doesn't compete, grab or market."
She said to the costume designer Zhan Xin in a hoarse voice.
The latter smiled, and her face also looked tired and had no temper.
"I came here to live in retirement." She was amused and helpless.
Shen Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I understand, I understand..."
I was so idle before, but now I'm so busy that I vomit blood!
God knows she even complained about such a small workload, and this salary that is much higher than the market is too hot to handle.
Now? Now she has no conscience at all!
Shen Zhenzhen raised her upper body and turned her head to look. Shi Meng and Song Zhihan were already sleeping with their heads leaning against each other. One of them unconsciously made a gesture of holding a hanger with his hands, and the other had a half-organized notebook lying on his legs.
"Uh." Shen Zhenzhen collapsed again.
She half-asleep and half-awake in the recliner for a while, and was woken up by Zhan Xin about half an hour later. She rubbed her eyes and yawned and got up to board the plane.
Shi Meng, who was carrying a backpack on her front, walked staggeringly, and was helped by Hu Changjian.
"You all should have a good rest today. I have Chang Jian with the crew." Qin Jue said.
"Today? Oh, it's past midnight... No, I can still do it!" Shi Meng raised her hand in a daze.
She and Zhan Xin took turns to be Qin Jue's costume assistant in the crew. When their boss was filming "Heart and Shadow Link", they had to pay attention to the condition of the costumes at any time and adjust wrinkles and other minor flaws in time.
Qin Jue knocked on Shi Meng's head: "No, take a paid vacation."
"Boss Wolf." Song Zhihan imitated Shi Meng's usual way of calling, "What time do you join the crew?"
"I'll go after I get off the plane." Qin Jue said.
"..." Song Zhihan patted Shi Meng, "Mengmeng, don't insist, life is more important."
Shi Meng grabbed Hu Chang Jian and nodded with a sad face.
"Why do I have a boss with such terrible energy..." She murmured, half-led and half-supported by Hu Chang Jian all the way through the ticket gate, walked into the cabin, and fell asleep again as soon as her head touched the back of her seat.
The gentle and clear voice of the flight attendant echoed overhead. After Qin Jue confirmed that everyone had sat down smoothly, he also began to close his eyes and rest.
It's good to be busy. When you are busy, you don't have time to think about other things.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and soon returned to normal. She took the opportunity to close her eyes and take a nap and sank into the film and television space again.
I haven't been in the "Heart and Shadow Link" crew for two days. I have to hurry up to recover.
2300+, (flipping through the small notebook) There are still updates for 3.27 and 3.29. By the way, there will be the script of the Republic of China, which is very later.
