The reason why the 87th version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has become a classic cannot be surpassed is not only because of the careful work of the director, actors, lighting engineers and others, but also because a large part of the reason is inseparable from the makeup and styling.
Costumer Shi Yanqin designed a full 2,700 costumes for this show, which is in stark contrast to the current white clothes and hair.
Each character wears more than two original costumes in almost every episode.
In order to maximize the effect of the costume, makeup artist Yang Shuyun put a lot of effort into makeup.
The design of the characters not only takes into account the appearance characteristics of the actors, but also adjusts accordingly according to the plot.
Before him, the crew also asked the makeup team to try on makeup.
This leads to the result that people are people, makeup is makeup, and there is no connection between the two.
The image of the character was later portrayed very plump, in which Yang Shuyun's dress played a very important role.
As soon as Sister Lin is mentioned, Chen Xiaoxu's delicate and slender image will involuntarily appear in my mind.
Before the arrival of Yang Shuyun, this gloomy temperament was not felt at all.
When she auditioned for Lin Daiyu, the makeup team designed a hairstyle for her that consisted of three circles.
Not only is her hairstyle asymmetrical, but her eyebrows are also one high and one low, which completely fails to show the delicate feeling that the character should have.
Blonde hair should be able to be dipped in bean juice to drink.
Therefore, as soon as she appeared, her dress was criticized by people and was considered to be a collision with the "red child".
To capture the essence of the figure, the makeup artist swapped the large cool-toned ornaments on her head for delicate, warm-colored flowers.
He will be delicious and tempting"Circles"It has been transformed into a dignified coiled hair, which makes people have a great appetite.
He'd found inspiration for his hair, but struggled with the makeup that would best impact the character's image.
Sister Lin is described in the book, her eyes are sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, and her eyebrows often provoke a smoky curve.
He began to rummag through a lot of materials to find this feeling.
When he read the poem "Looking at the Smoke and Willows from afar", he finally got inspiration.
Under his careful grooming, Lin Daiyu's eyebrows are slender and sparse, like the budding willow swaying in the breeze, attracting pity.
In addition to the portrayal of Sister Lin, he also worked hard to create the role of Wang Xifeng.
When she tried it on, Deng Jie had a phoenix with flaming red feathers on her head.
Despite the fact that his hair is raised high, he lacks the pungency and shrewdness that a character should have, giving it a top-heavy sense of dragging.
In addition to these, Wang Xifeng's soul is also reflected in her pair of danfeng eyes and hanging eyebrows.
He tried no less than ten times to improve the aura of Deng Jie, who was only one meter five three tall.
In order to achieve the best results, he deliberately picked a few willow leaves, and then returned to the room to carefully compare and fiddle.
It wasn't until late at night that he suddenly remembered Huang Zongying in "The Crow and the Sparrow", and in this thought, he had a first draft.
He then recalled the seventh concubine in "The Twelve Concubines of Yongzheng", and her arched eyebrows made her look extremely intelligent.
What makes Wang Xifeng unique is her ingenuity.
In this way, he plucked out all of Deng Jie's eyebrows, and then used an eyebrow pencil to outline the hanging eyebrows described in the book.
He also put a lot of thought into Wang Xifeng's hairstyle, in addition to makeup.
It is reported that Deng Jie wore more than 70 different costumes in the whole play, and her hairstyle exceeded 10.
Each one is not only ornate and intricate, but also decorated with different details without repetition.
Wang Xifeng considered Le Yun and Zhou Yue when casting, while Deng Jie was the final choice.
At the beginning, many people were optimistic about Le Yun and thought that she was the real successor of Wang Xifeng.
Unfortunately, her mother thought that Wang Xifeng's character was wrong, and she was deeply in love with Luo Lie at that time.
In the end, she decided to go to Hong Kong, resigned from this role, and took over a "Third Sister You" with fewer scenes.
In the end, the role was not played, but was given to one of Wang Xifeng's candidates, Zhou Yue.
When trying on Baochai, Zhang Li put three big flowers with bright colors on her head.
Two thick braids hung down from her shoulders, and she looked a lot like a maid.
She obviously looks good, but somehow she was dressed up as a "village girl".
Yang Shuyun's creativity made us fortunate enough to meet the beautiful sister Bao with eyes like apricots, otherwise she might never have appeared in front of us.
When Zhang Jinglin auditioned for "Qingwen", she was also arranged to wear a plain white shirt, which was in stark contrast to her famous image of charm.
A large butterfly adorned her towering bun, making her look like a monk nun.
Zhang Jinglin's beauty is completely obscured, and even the positioning of her character cannot be recognized.
Cheng Mei played the role of the imperial concubine after trying on the costume, which caused a series of doubts, and some viewers thought that her temperament lacked the demeanor of the imperial concubine.
It wasn't until she went through makeup that she was recognized.
The most surprising thing is his portrayal of Jia's mother's image.
Jia Mu, played by Li Ting, is a kind and kind old artist in real life.
Jia Mu's noble status is completely incommensurate with this gentleness and kindness.
His ingenious techniques made Li Ting's eyebrows deliberately raised, and finally presented the image of a rich and festive Jia Mu.
When the crew was already in full swing, Yang Shuyun was invited by them.
Despite the tight schedule and heavy workload, he was able to successfully complete the task with his professional skills.
Without his flash of inspiration, the characters in this play would certainly not be so vividly displayed.
We would like to thank all the people behind the scenes for their hard work and effort in making this classic so that we can enjoy this film!
