"Here, bring the towels. By the way, grab a basin and get some hot water. Lao Meng commanded.

Hearing this, the other theater guys suddenly became busy. After a while, I came with a basin full of hot water and a towel.

Without saying a word, the group of guys soaked the towel in the water, then took it out again, wrung it out, and handed it to Meng Banzhu.

Lao Meng nodded, and took it inside. Immediately, it was handed to Li Qing and Zhang Yonghang.

"Wipe your face first, and then we'll paint. Don't be in a hurry, take it one step at a time. Lao Meng said to the two of them.

When the two heard this, they nodded immediately, and quickly wiped the towel he handed them on their faces.

"Hey, yes, that's it, wipe your face clean first, and then I'll put on your makeup." Lao Meng said while watching them wipe their faces.

After they wiped it clean, Lao Meng finally nodded silently.

Immediately, Lao Meng said: "Okay, this will begin." ”

With a good order, this is considered official makeup.

The first is to shoot the background color, just at the beginning, Lao Meng suggested to Li Qing: "Hehe, I'm here!" Let's dress you up as Zhong Kui, your face here matches Zhong Kui's face, it's quite suitable. ”

At this moment, Lao Meng was carefully dressing up his face, but Li Qing didn't dare to say more, so he had to agree with "um".

The brothers next to him all looked at him with curiosity, and after a while, Yan'er asked Lao Meng: "How many steps does this dress take to have a flowery face?" ”

Lao Meng smiled, looked back at her, and then turned his head and continued to work. The mouth was not empty, and he said to Yan'er: "What's the matter? Curious? Want to learn? ”

Yan'er shook her head slightly, and then laughed with a "poof". said to the old Meng: "Old Meng, you are really joking. This face painting can be learned in a day or two. I'm curious about how this face is usually dressed, so I asked. ”

Hearing this, Lao Meng nodded slightly. Because, he is dressing up Li Qing! So, he didn't look back, and replied bluntly to Yan'er: "Hey, you're quite curious." Done! Since you asked, then I'll tell you. ”

Immediately, Lao Meng Le smiled.

"Well, let's hear it, I want to know too." Zhang Biao on the side said.

Lao Meng nodded, and immediately opened his mouth: "There are many faces in this Peking Opera." What about Facebook! It is generally painted in "clean" and "ugly" characters, and the purpose is to use exaggerated colors and peculiar lines to adapt the original appearance of the actor. This is different from the roles of 'sheng' and 'dan'. As for the 'end', eh, other troupes, I don't know. But we have put a lot of the corners of the 'end' into the 'birth'. The roles of 'sheng' and 'dan' are generally plain noodles. Therefore, this time you want to go out of the city, I did not choose these two characters, but also to protect you. ”

Hearing this, Yan'er nodded, and suddenly said, "It turns out that there is such a big elaboration on this?" Master Meng, you're bothered. ”

Lao Meng smiled, and then said: "That's not it, the knowledge here is great!" Otherwise, you think that our troupe, painting faces, are all scribbles! ”

Seeing him say this, Yan'er herself smiled.

Although Lao Meng said this, his hands were not empty at all, and he had been smearing Li Qing's face.

"Hey, I'm going to do this! It's been many years, and we're in the same line of work, just like those who practice martial arts. The more time passes, the more experience you have. The more experience you have, the more confident you become. Lao Meng said to her.

Yan'er nodded, and then responded: "Yes, this is called a lot of skills without pressing, and the art masters are bold." ”

Hearing this, Lao Meng smiled happily, and then replied, "Yes! Well, this is the first step, followed by blushing, setting makeup and applying rouge, this is how to draw a harlequin. Dan horns are different, Dan horns have to draw eye circles, eyebrows, lips, and then head strangulation, patches, ......"

Lao Meng carefully told everyone about the steps of this makeup, and as he spoke, there were more and more smiles on his face. Yan'er looked at him like this, and also showed a faint smile.

A person who loves his industry so much. If you are so willing to study hard, you will inevitably become a generation of masters. And Lao Meng is so unabashedly telling everyone the mystery in this Peking Opera mask, which is a rare thing.

You must know that the dress of the characters in a drama directly affects the audience's recognition of the roles he plays, and also affects the visual effects of the actors when they perform on stage.

In this way, the work of this makeup artist is the most important.

As the saying goes, ten minutes on this stage, ten years off the stage. Yan'er, who has always admired opera actors, now sees this Lao Meng who is so dedicated and loves her profession, and her heart is filled with admiration.

"Old Meng, you are amazing. To be honest, I really can't remember so many faces, and remember what to pay attention to when drawing different faces! Yan'er said at him.

When Lao Meng heard this, he immediately smiled happily.

"Oops! It's all trifles. The so-called specialization in the art industry is like the management of the affairs of the gang in an orderly manner. Leave this matter to me, and I won't be able to. I'm not anything remarkable, it's just that I've been in my own industry for a long time, and I have experience. So, it's skilled. People have goals, and goals can drive you to develop better and faster. My goal is very simple, to make my troupe the best and most popular troupe in this area. You should all have your own ideas and pursuits! Do what you want to do well, one by one, slowly, then you are all the best. Lao Meng said earnestly.

Hearing this, all the brothers were stunned.

Although this Lao Meng is the head of a troupe, his ideas are so far-reaching. I can see the essence of things so thoroughly.

What, then, are the brothers' pursuits and thoughts?

This question suddenly flashed in everyone's minds, and Zhang Yonghang and Li Qing, who were putting on makeup, thought about it carefully.

Lao Meng was still meticulously dressing them up, and he didn't stop for a moment. Looking at his exquisite techniques and skillful operation, everyone felt a burst of admiration. However, everyone knows that this seemingly handy moment must be a matter of practice.

No one can succeed casually, life is like this, and the same is true of face painting.
