Chapter 187: Temporary Makeup Change, A Difficulty Prepared in Advance

The photos Zhang Zong provided to Win were completely different from the style currently being shot.

The originally decided style was relatively orthodox and low-key, using techniques commonly used by big brands.

A relatively clean base makeup can better set off the addition brought by the clothes.

But the makeup look provided by Zhang Zong was artistic makeup.

Some art students often share some artistic makeup on blogs and Little Red Book, using their faces as canvases, using eyeshadow and botanical pastels as pigments, and creating various stunning phoenix looks, prosperous looks, koi looks, etc., on their faces.

This kind of makeup look values artistic expression.

Generally, you wouldn't wear this kind of makeup when going out.

But the makeup look provided by Zhang Zong happened to fit Fang Fei's color collision this year quite well, compared to using clean base makeup for photos.

Artistic makeup can better reflect Fang Fei's style.

Before seeing the pictures, Win was still a bit hesitant.

After seeing the pictures, he pondered for a while and decided to adopt the makeup inspiration provided by Zhang Zong.

With an order to change the makeup, the previously shot photos didn't need to be changed, but all the clothes paired afterwards had to be modified.

This not only caused a lot of trouble for Jin Li, but also caused a lot of distress to other departments of Fang Fei.

One word from senior management, and the bottom level runs their legs off.

This is the true portrayal of bottom-level workers, even for Fang Fei, which makes clothes, it's no exception.

Jin Li didn't say anything at first.

Photographers often think of new inspiration during the shooting process, asking stars to make different expressions.

This is very normal.

In Jin Li's view, Win should have gotten some novel inspiration, which is why he temporarily changed the makeup.

It's just that this temporarily changed makeup look seemed much more complicated than the previous one.

It used to take half an hour to finish, now it has to become more than an hour, and it has to be applied and modified from time to time.

Because Jin Li's skin is very good, the makeup artist didn't dare to be too heavy-handed.

But frequently applying base makeup, removing it, wiping it off, modifying it, and then applying base makeup again... once or twice is fine, but in the long run, Jin Li's face definitely won't be able to take it.

In the evening.

Sui Lingfang came to pick up Jin Li for dinner; it was agreed before that there would be no shooting at night.

Win took the initiative to mention to Jin Li: "Teacher Jin Li, after changing to artistic makeup, each set must be modified accordingly. The originally scheduled three-day shooting time might not be enough. Can you spare some time at night for us?"

Jin Li looked at this photographer with dyed yellow hair, ear studs, and tattoos on his arms.

Maybe people who do art like to play these three sets?

After a day of contact, this photographer named Win had very strong professional ability.

However, Jin Li still said cautiously: "You can communicate with my agent. I'm not sure if she will arrange any itinerary at night."

If the announcement party is really in a hurry, she doesn't mind working overtime.

But the frequent makeup changes in the afternoon made Jin Li realize something was wrong.

Seeing that Jin Li couldn't give a definite answer, Win was a bit regretful. When Sui Lingfang came to Fang Fei, he immediately put forward the request.

Sui Lingfang said with a smile: "Photographer Win, let's talk about this tomorrow. At least let Jin Li go out for a meal today. Everyone is hungry after a day of hard work."

Win thought about it and agreed.

After all, it was a temporarily added makeup change, a temporarily thought-of change; you can't expect everything to be arranged today.

After Jin Li got into the car, Sui Lingfang immediately pulled a long face and asked:

"What's going on with your face?"

"Hmm?"

Jin Li touched her face, "Just finished removing makeup, what's wrong?"

Sui Lingfang frowned tightly: "A bit red, it looks like a red mark left by someone pressing on it with great force."

Jin Li realized: "It should be because of removing and applying makeup many times in the afternoon."

Sui Lingfang didn't understand: "Wasn't the makeup set?"

Jin Li said: "It was set originally, but someone came in the afternoon. Looking at their status, it was quite high. After communicating with the photographer, they decided to change to artistic makeup. Every time I shot a set of clothes, I had to change the makeup. I changed the makeup three times in the afternoon."

To be honest, the shooting time wasn't as long as the makeup change time.

"Changed three times? Are they crazy! Repeatedly applying and removing makeup will cause serious damage to your skin!"

Sui Lingfang felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Generally speaking, such relatively important commercial shootings are planned in advance, and the plan is communicated with the star's team in advance, and the plan is implemented after getting consent.

During the shooting process, there are situations where the plan is temporarily changed.

But it wouldn't be so outrageous as to completely overturn it.

And the temporarily changed plan also needs to be consented to by the star.

Sui Lingfang's expression was a bit ugly, "Fortunately, I didn't agree to let you work overtime tonight, otherwise if your face continues to be ravaged, I don't know if it will peel tomorrow!"

"This matter can't just be let go. I'll go find someone to inquire about it first. I added a few Fang Fei designers these past few days and developed some connections, which just happens to be useful."

Jin Li said 'mm'.

She handed over work matters entirely to Fang Jie to handle.

Don't suspect the person you use, don't use the person you suspect.

If you have to worry about everything yourself, then what do you need an agent for?

On the other side, Li Xunfang's side.

She finished her scenes in the film crew, lowered her head to look at her phone, and smiled after a long time.

She was in a good mood.

The assistant saw it and asked boldly: "Fang Jie, you're in a good mood today!"

Li Xunfang said happily: "I'm in a good mood every day!"

She lowered her head to look at her phone again, reading the message Zhang Zong sent her over and over again.

Zhang Yi: 【I vented my anger for you today, modified her makeup plan, her face will probably rot】

Li Xunfang: 【Yi Ge, be careful, don't do it too obviously. My business is a small matter, it wouldn't be good if it implicated you】

Zhang Yi: 【Mm, I'm using an open conspiracy. As long as she still wants to be this spokesperson, she has to take it】

Zhang Yi: 【Are you free this weekend?】

Li Xunfang flipped through her schedule; the weekends were all reserved for shooting, but she could always squeeze out time.

【Yes, Zhang Zong, I can come out for three hours for dinner~】

Zhang Yi: 【I'll come pick you up then】

Li Xunfang: 【Okay~】

Li Xunfang put down her phone beautifully. Just then, the stage manager ran over and said they were going to shoot the next scene, so she followed to shoot.

While looking at the script, she memorized the lines temporarily.

Maybe because she was in a good mood, she memorized the lines very quickly today, and her expressions were also done well, and she wasn't called 'cut' by the director.

Li Xunfang took the initiative to find the director, wanting to shoot more transition scenes in these few days.

The director said with some difficulty: "This... our outdoor scenes are all real scenes. The scenes for tomorrow have already been arranged, it's very difficult to make changes, and a large group of people have to follow to go out, it can't be scheduled..."

Li Xunfang said with a smile: "Director, my announcements can't be scheduled, only these few days can I squeeze out time. Don't let it be that you want me to shoot later, but I don't have time, that would be awkward."

"This, this..."

Li Xunfang continued: "And it doesn't necessarily have to be all real scenes. I think shooting indoor scenes and then converting them into real scenes through special effects is also fine. Special effects technology is so good now, there are very few mistakes."

The director was still very difficult.

This drama was his heart and soul, and he wanted to shoot it well.

Now special effects technology is not bad, but the premise of not bad is burning money!

Once the film crew starts shooting, money is burned into a bottomless pit every day. Who knows if there will be a shortage of money? It's definitely better to save where you can.

Moreover, the director really doesn't feel that special effects can be as natural as real scenes.

Li Xunfang dropped another heavy bomb: "I have received a heavyweight variety show announcement. When the TV drama goes online in a few months, the film crew will be invited to the variety show to do a promotion!"

The director hardened his heart and said: "Alright, let's shoot your transition scenes these few days!"

Li Xunfang was satisfied.

The director looked at her back, his heart bleeding.

He didn't know what it would look like if this drama couldn't be shot, it was getting less and less like the conception in his mind.

Whatever, whatever, can't manage that much!

He called the stage manager to hurry up and check the schedule with people. Tomorrow, those who need to go out go out, and those who need to shoot indoor scenes with Li Xunfang shoot indoor scenes.

Transition scenes can't just shoot Li Xunfang alone.

Soon, other actors received the notice sent by the stage manager, and many people were in a rush.

"I haven't even packed my luggage yet. Wasn't the outdoor scene supposed to be shot next week?"

"Don't mention it, my outdoor scene was changed to an indoor scene. I don't know what the effect will be, it's worrying!"

"Tsk, it's that person's good work again, right? Only she can order the director to jump scenes every day!"

"Popular, everyone lets her have her way wherever she goes!"

Night fell, and it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Jin Li returned to the hotel room and started the livestream to do papers without stopping.

Many netizens found that Jin Li's face was a bit red.

But Jin Li herself didn't feel anything.

In the state of 【twice the result with half the effort】 and being focused, her learning efficiency improved rapidly.

With the help of high efficiency, even though Jin Li's brain didn't become very smart, in the eyes of outsiders, her learning speed and problem-solving speed were much faster than before.

Jin Li had already self-studied the physics content of the second year of high school and planned to strike while the iron was hot and start learning physics for the third year of high school.

At the same time, she decided to accept some private tutoring.

It's unrealistic to have someone teaching by her side every day, but it's possible to take time every night to connect online and help sort out knowledge points.

After livestreaming for two hours, Jin Li ended the livestream and turned to have a video call with Gu Cheng, telling him her thoughts.

Gu Cheng agreed: "I suggested you find a private teacher a long time ago. One-on-one tutoring can better check for gaps, and it's not like you don't have the money."

Jin Li asked: "What about you?"

Gu Cheng shook his head: "I don't need tutoring, I'll just read books and self-study."

Jin Li admired: "I want your brain..."

Gu Cheng smiled lightly and suddenly leaned his head toward the camera.

Jin Li took a look; his hair was quite lush, at least there was no danger of balding.

Gu Cheng said: "Let you touch it, let you become smart too!"

Jin Li hummed lightly.

Her hand really reached forward, shaking it casually, as if she had plucked a handful.

Gu Cheng continued: "When the private teacher teaches you, keep the video call with me open, and I'll listen too."

Jin Li was stunned, "Don't you not need tutoring?"

Gu Cheng said calmly: "I don't need tutoring, but I want to see how good the teacher you hired is."

Jin Li said indifferently: "Alright."

Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching.

As long as the teacher doesn't know, I believe she won't mind.

"By the way, why is your face a bit red? It looks like you have a fever." Gu Cheng asked the same question as the netizens.

Jin Li touched her face again, took out a small mirror to look at it, and said: "It's much better already. It was even redder when I went to eat in the evening. It should be related to frequently removing and applying makeup."

She mentioned what happened at Fang Fei today.

Gu Cheng frowned, "Fang Fei doing this is considered a breach of promise. I just feel a bit incredible. Other second-tier brands try every means to rub off on the star's heat and exploit stars, but Fang Fei is a first-tier top luxury brand, how could they do such a tasteless thing."

Under Gu Cheng's explanation, Jin Li understood the severity of the matter.

This is the same as participating in a variety show.

Clearly the contract was signed to sing two songs, and the star also finished singing two.

But as the variety show atmosphere became more and more heated, the guests also joined in the fun, urging the star to sing one more.

The star either stops recording or has to sing one more helplessly, as a free gift to the production team.

After all, if you go to ask for money for a song afterwards, you can't get it.

The production team will bite to death that it was the star who sang it voluntarily, not forced by the production team.

This kind of approach is very tasteless.

Jin Li's loss in this Fang Fei matter is that she didn't mark the shooting form in the contract.

But her team had confirmed the shooting content with Fang Fei before, and both sides communicated and agreed before shooting. It's Fang Fei's fault if it really makes a scene.

Jin Li said: "I don't know why Fang Fei suddenly changed the makeup and changed to artistic makeup shooting, which indeed put a lot of pressure on my face."

"Fang Jie said she would help me inquire, but no news has come yet."

"I'm thinking, since I've already signed the contract, it's impossible to give up the hard-won endorsement. No matter how Fang Fei does it, I should agree to it, just treat it as eating a dumb loss."

Gu Cheng said with a solemn expression: "But the problem is, Fang Fei, such a first-tier top luxury, wouldn't make such a temporary decision, and it even modified the style of your hard-copy promotional photos."

It's not like Sanyuetian hasn't shot advertisements for first-tier top luxury brands before; everyone knows what's what.

But if it wasn't a temporary decision...

Gu Cheng suddenly looked up at Jin Li, so it was aimed at her on purpose?

"Have you offended anyone in Fang Fei?"

Jin Li shook her head: "No, I don't know a few people. Did I offend President Dai?"

"If I really offended her, I couldn't have become the spokesperson for Fang Fei's China region."

A flash of thought flashed in Gu Cheng's eyes. He was very curious about this matter and asked Jin Li to tell him when the result was investigated.

Not long after hanging up the video call, Sui Lingfang came in with full momentum, her face a bit gloomy, carrying suppressed anger.

"Found the person. The senior management who came to see you in the afternoon is one of Fang Fei's shareholders, Zhang Yi."

"This Zhang Zong's reputation among Fang Fei employees isn't very good. He likes to pretend to understand when he doesn't, and can't stand the laziness of employees."

This is also a common problem for senior management.

Now many senior management of large companies are specifically doing management, don't understand technology at all, and have a natural generation gap with bottom-level employees.

They won't think about how difficult it is for ordinary employees to pull orders.

They will only think: 10 performance results a day is such a simple thing, how can you not do it?

Jin Li confirmed that it was the first time she had heard the name Zhang Yi and asked curiously: "Where did I offend him?"

Sui Lingfang snorted coldly.

"I also find it strange. I called Zhang Guang for the first time and found out that Zhang Zong and Li Xunfang had an affair a few years ago!" ===== CHAPTER 188 =====

"I also found it strange. I called Zhang Guang to ask him at the first opportunity, only to find out that Zhang Zong and Li Xunfang had had an affair a few years ago!"
