Chapter 451 451
Seeing the shock on Neil's face, the makeup artist also looked depressed, "Haven't you seen other people's makeup? It's just foundation, and the photo-taking process can cover up the pores and scars on your face, this is not makeup, There's no need to be so serious." In fact, the makeup part is all matched with the clothing and shooting style. The makeup artist knows that today is not the kind of heavy makeup and glamour, so he didn't plan to do it hard at all, but now the work has not started, he was The other party dislikes it, which is really unpleasant.
You know, for a makeup artist, this is his job, and if there is no way to complete the work, he has no way to get paid. So the makeup artist didn't hide his emotions at all, and directly gave a big white eye, "Are you from Arkansas?" Arkansas is a typical representative of rural Americans.
Neil ignored the makeup artist, but frowned and said, "At least I don't want to look like you, this is not our usual style." Neil was mostly frightened by the makeup artist's thick foundation , It's really hard to let go of your brows.
As an agent, Henry had to shoulder the task of communication at this time. He sat in the chair, still looking like he was going to die. After thinking for a while, he looked at Neil, "It's really that bad?"
"It's not a question of whether it's bad or not, can't you see it? Our band is not this kind of heavy makeup!" Neil was very depressed, looking at Henry with resentment, and Fu Jin, who was standing beside him, even more gloomy Must be able to drip water. Neil looked at Henry still in deep thought, he couldn't help laughing and laughing, he turned his head and looked at Hugo, "What do you say?"
Make-up can only be said to be the most basic thing in the entertainment industry. For filming, make-up is necessary. Of course, the most important thing is to design the makeup according to the plot. For example, in "Sleepless in Seattle", Hugo used makeup to increase his age, but in "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", Hugo went directly into battle without makeup. . There are not many cases where male actors need to wear makeup during filming - special makeup aside, but it does exist, so Hugo is no stranger to it.
When recording TV variety shows, make-up is a necessary means, because this is to show the most direct and true appearance of the artist. Except for the situation where the base makeup is needed to match the lighting and the camera, the rest is up to the artist's own choice, and some people are No makeup at all to record the show.
For singers, make-up is more common, as it is required for stage effects. In fact, many rock bands use makeup. Marilyn Manson has caused countless discussions with black eyeliner and gorgeous makeup. Many industrial metal bands use makeup to present their music styles. Green Day's insistence on eyeliner Also their musical attitude.
Whether or not a rock band wants to wear makeup, though, depends on the style of the band, not the occasion. Including long hair, rivet leather jackets, piercings, tattoos and other marks are actually the essence of rock style, one of the ways to reflect their musical style and musical ideas. These accessories are not only as simple as they look, but also an attitude. For example, the large tattoos on Fujin's arms and shoulders are actually a reflection of his personality.
The same is true for makeup, industrial metal represented by Marilyn Manson, glam rock represented by David Bowie and Queen, they all use makeup and clothing to complete their performances, which is part of their stage and music. part of the style.
However, for glory to death, make-up is not necessary. Because their musical styles, although rich and varied, are more reflected in the music itself - at least on the first album. The same goes for bands like U2, Linkin Park, etc.
Glory to Death's performances have always been simple and simple, and there are not too many gorgeous things in terms of costumes, no colorful costumes, no ink-heavy makeup, no exaggerated and gorgeous piercings, just like Roger Fasondi The feeling when I saw the band once: clean and sunny, it doesn't look like a rock band at all, but after listening to the band's music, the shock created by the strong contrast is more and more violent.
Hugo can actually understand the intention of EMI Records. When shooting the album cover photo, he took care of it clearly through makeup, showing the most perfect state. The five members of Glory to Death all have advantages in terms of appearance. If managed properly, this will become a breakthrough point for the album, so EMI hopes to maximize the advantages of the members through makeup. EMI is considering it from a commercial point of view. After all, if the album cover is not imposing, it is difficult to attract unfamiliar fans.
But this is not in line with the style of the band, and it will give people a bad feeling of "Idol Band", so Hugo naturally stands by his teammates without any doubt, "Henry, I know the purpose of makeup, but We don't need to. That's not our style."
Hearing Hugo's affirmative answer, the make-up artist quit immediately, because it meant that he lost the job, and not because he did a bad job, but because the other party refused to put on makeup before he started. Absolutely not allowed, "It's just makeup, simple makeup, I haven't even taken out the makeup tools, if I took out the eyelash curler, you guys wouldn't have exploded! Wouldn't it be amazing if you could sing? At least It looks good on the outside!"
This time Neil didn't have time to speak, but Fuk Jin said calmly, "Why, if you look ugly, you can't sing? Can't play the guitar? Just because we don't wear makeup, our music doesn't work. Did anyone listen?"
"It's not that we refuse makeup, it's just that it's different from our style." Neil also sensed the makeup artist's depression and explained. If the style of this album needs it, or if the stage performance needs it, then the band members probably won't be so reluctant to make up.
Hugo is more experienced. He knows that the makeup artist's temper is not against individuals, but because he is likely to lose this job, so he did not target the makeup artist, but turned to Henry and said, "You Heard the mastering of our album, didn't you? I think it's enough for us to just do the hairdos, the costumes, and there's no problem with the lights when taking pictures."
Hugo is obviously a lot more professional. He knows that in the process of taking pictures, lighting is actually more important than makeup. A good lighting engineer can almost make up for all flaws, even without makeup. With top-of-the-line makeup, no lights would ruin everything. That's why many entertainers look perfect on a TV screen without makeup, and lighting plays a vital role.
Henry glanced at Hugo, seemed to think for a while, and said, "Just because of the style of the album?" Henry didn't really understand the band's refusal to put on makeup, because Hugo was an actor, and makeup was no longer necessary. Nothing but normal.
"Just because of the style of the album!" Hugo said neatly. If the whole album is gorgeous or dark, then even if Hugo didn't say it, the band members would probably accept it, which is what they always came from. persist in.
Henry didn't hesitate for too long this time, and shrugged, "If you insist..." This is what it means to agree. Of course, the record company must be unwilling, but these situations are borne by Henry.
"But..." The makeup artist immediately became anxious next to him, but Henry was not at all anxious, and said, "You can still take your pay." This sentence immediately made the makeup artist quiet, he just now This is the only part that is anxious. "However, you should just wait by the side, maybe they will regret it after they finish filming." Henry was still in the look of being so anxious that he didn't pay for his life, so Neil turned it over. A blank eye.
"Okay, then go and change your clothes, Albert should be there soon." Henry continued to command as if he didn't see Neil's rolling eyes, "Then take turns to sit down and get your hair done, you guys. Hair looks like a kennel swept by a hurricane, so if you don't take care of it properly, don't waste paper on the album cover."
In any case, makeup, hair, styling, etc. are all to make the album cover more attractive. EMI is willing to put more effort into this, which shows that they attach great importance to the album. As an agent, Henry still has to supervise this. The thing was done successfully.
This time, Neil, Fu Jin, and the others didn't say anything more, and went to the temporary locker room in the warehouse neatly, ready to change the clothes to be worn on the album cover today.
Alfonso had just finished talking with Ellie at this time, and walked over with a smile on his face. It seemed that the conversation went smoothly. He didn't understand that there was a dispute here, and he asked Henry with a smile, "Other What about people? Have you already started preparations, so what should I start with?"
Henry shrugged, "Hair, you should take care of your hair."
Alfonso glanced up at his fluffy curly hair, "Why, do you want to fix it with hair wax?" Alfonso was in a very bright mood, looking for a seat with anticipation, but unfortunately, Henry sat next to him There was no plan to give him a response at all, and Alfonso didn't mind, so he chatted with the hair stylist who came over.
The band members began to prepare for the filming of the album's inner pages. Albert, with a bald head and a white beard, quickly arrived at the scene. The top master of photography was wearing a black shirt and suit. Pants, arrived at the scene casually and easily, walked over to greet the band members under the guidance of the assistant, and then he ignored the members who were taking care of their hairstyles, and asked directly, "Very well, I have heard it before. Your album is great, but it's not my domain, I'm more curious about what you think about the album, and whether you have your own ideas on the cover or the inside pages, we can communicate. So, talk to me talk."
