Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 112 New image makes fans scream
On the 6th, Zhou Ziheng met Yang Fan in his studio in Guangzhou.

The two sides discussed the upcoming photo album.

First, there is the question of style.

Everyone has a different image style. Some are sunny, some are elegant, and some are melancholy.

Different personalities have led to different appearance styles for each person.

Therefore, when shooting a fashion blockbuster such as a photo album, the most important thing is to find the photographer's style.

Create with this.

The shooting methods and color tones required for each style are completely different.

“Mr. Zhou, you have an elegant temperament, but also a bit of gloom. My idea is that this series of films should be mainly in black and white.

You know, the black and white style is very popular in the East at the moment.

If you shoot in this way, I think this set of photos will definitely be loved by your fans."

After Yang Fan met Zhou Ziheng, he said these words.

There are some professional terms in his words.

But Zhou Ziheng still understood.

What Yang Fan meant was actually to shoot in the style of Leslie Cheung's black and white series.

It's not really an imitation of Leslie Cheung.

Because black and white photos have been very popular in the East in the past two years, most people who aspire to make a difference in the fashion industry have taken this series of photos.

Zhou Ziheng has no aversion to shooting black and white series.

However, he also has his own ideas.

After a pause, he asked, "Does Director Yang know about smoky makeup?"

"Are you talking about the dark style that has just emerged in Europe and the United States?" Yang Fan asked after thinking for a while.

"Yes, do you think we can add this style to this set of photos?" Zhou Ziheng nodded.

Yang Fan hesitated a little, "I have never shot this kind of series, will it be..."

“Don’t worry about that, you just need to shoot in the direction of the Dark Desire system.

I've seen the film "Beautiful Legend" that you shot for Mr. Leslie Cheung, and the two styles are actually very similar."

Zhou Ziheng said.

Since he was going to take photos, Zhou Ziheng naturally didn't plan to take them casually.

Fortunately, smoky makeup and dark styles are not popular in Asia yet.

If he were to come up with it now, he might become the originator of Korean Wave in the future.

If Koreans play this kind of thing again, they will have to recognize him, a Chinese, as their ancestor.

Moreover, his own image is actually quite suitable for this style.

His image and temperament are somewhat similar to Chen Kun of later generations. His facial contours fit the Marquardt mask, and the three features and five parts of his body are in equal proportions. Even his long face is delicate.

The forehead is square, the temples are full, the brows are high with moderate curvature, the cheekbones are high, the cheeks are full, the skin is firm, the mandibular angle is superior and three-dimensional, and the chin is round and upturned, which adds round lines to the long face and weakens the long face.

He is the type of handsome guy with a melancholic temperament.

In fact, there are quite a lot of people in China with similar temperament to him, not to mention those far away, but recent ones include Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Leon Lai.

Later generations had Chen Kun, Yi Yang Qianxi and others.

These people all have this style, and they give off a melancholy temperament at first glance.

Why did Chen Kexin choose him as the leading actor of "New Hard Times"?

In addition to his own record sales and popularity.

His appearance is also one of the main reasons.

People with their style are usually popular with art film directors.

Because people with this kind of temperament, with just a little polish, can become natural protagonists in art films.

Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Leslie Cheung, even Chen Kun and Jackson Yee were able to win the Best Actor award so quickly.

This temperament and style is actually the main reason.

Just like it is easy to shine when playing villains, people like them are naturally more suitable for the role than other actors because of their temperament.

This style is extremely consistent with the smoky makeup that became popular in later generations.

With just a little embellishment, your temperament will be infinitely magnified, making those girls fall in love with you.

Yang Fan was just the director invited to shoot the film.

Of course, he had no objection to the idea of ​​his boss Zhou Ziheng.

Anyway, he had already said in advance that he was not good at this style.

If the film is really bad, it’s none of his business.

Zhou Ziheng insisted on doing this.

Just like director Wang Jing never cares whether the films he makes are good or not.

At this time, most directors in Hong Kong actually had this idea.

As long as you pay me enough, I would be willing to shoot a pile of shit.

To be honest, there are very few directors like this these days who only make good films.

Not just the director.

The same goes for actors.

Except for a few actors who are very demanding of themselves, most other actors actually don't care whether the script is good or bad.

Just like Tony Leung Ka Fai, his acting skills are top-notch in Hong Kong.

But when it comes to accepting a role, I never care whether it is good or not. I will accept it if it is good, and I will accept it if it is not good, as long as the money is paid.

Therefore, Yang Fan did not refute. After Zhou Ziheng confirmed that he wanted to shoot it this way, he immediately began to prepare for it.

He needs to make a shooting plan.

After the style is confirmed, he will be responsible for the clothing and styling.

Of course, Zhou Ziheng certainly couldn't just ignore it.

Just like Yang Fan said, he is not good at shooting dark desires.

And since Zhou Ziheng had to shoot again, he naturally had to find a way to solve the problems of styling and makeup.

For this purpose, Zhou Ziheng specifically asked EMi to help him contact a European and American stylist.

This person's name is Irene Naylor. It is said that she was a stylist and makeup artist for Michael Jackson and is quite famous in the fashion circle.

If it is famous, it will naturally be expensive.

Zhou Ziheng did not hire her just once, but recruited her to be his own stylist. Every year, Zhou Ziheng needed to pay her a salary of 110,000 US dollars.

It’s higher than the salary Zhou Ziheng offered to Florence Hui.

But it's all worth it.

Erin Naylor really knows her way around a smoky eye.

As soon as she arrived, she gave Yang Fan several useful shooting suggestions.

And designed a new look for Zhou Ziheng based on his appearance.

In terms of facial makeup, she made Zhou Ziheng's eyeliner much thicker, and she restyled his hair according to Zhou Ziheng's currently slightly longer hair.

Then came the clothes. The foreign stylist was disdainful of Zhou Ziheng's clothes and directly asked Zhou Ziheng to throw away all his clothes. He then went out personally and had several new sets of clothes tailored for Zhou Ziheng in several high-end clothing stores in Guangzhou.

As soon as Irene took office, Zhou Ziheng spent more than 100,000 yuan on clothing and other items.

Zhou Ziheng called her a spendthrift woman.

But I have to admit that although a lot of money was spent, the effect was very good.

On January 7, Zhou Ziheng attended the Guangdong New Songs Chart Awards Ceremony with a new look.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, he became the focus of everyone's attention and was arguably the most handsome guy in the audience.

Not only did the media flock to him to take pictures, but Zhou Ziheng also clearly felt that his fans were even more excited.

A man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle.

Zhou Ziheng himself is indeed handsome, but there are so many handsome guys in this world.

In the past, he attracted fans mainly through his works.

This time, as soon as the new image came out, Zhou Ziheng immediately felt that his fans were paying more attention to his appearance.

This attention was immediately reflected the next day when all major media used his new image as their cover.

In the next two days, according to Pacific, his record sales in the market showed a clear upward trend after recovering from a long period of hot sales.

Not just the mainland.

As for Hong Kong, I don’t know whether they sent people to the mainland or learned the information through other channels.

Just one day later, Zhou Ziheng's new look photo when attending an event appeared on the cover of New Era magazine.

[Zhou Ziheng's new look caused fans to scream]

Kowloon, morning.

Wang Xiaohui, who had just had a holiday, dragged her best friend to the newsstand to collect handsome photos of celebrities.

"This photo is okay, it was taken when Heng Zai was attending an event in Wan Wan. I don't have it yet! You can buy it!"

“This one will do, too!”

The two of them picked and chose from many newspapers and magazines.

Because both of them are fans of Zhou Ziheng, many of the newspapers and magazines they selected contained new photos of Zhou Ziheng.

"Wow! So cool!"

Suddenly, my best friend screamed.

Wang Xiaohui hurriedly looked over there.

At just one glance, she was attracted.

Smoky makeup is not always the kind of makeup that can be seen at a glance.

The new look that Irene designed for Zhou Ziheng is the kind that is hard to see.

He looked no different now than before.

But the thickening of the eyebrow line, the slight makeup adjustment of the contour, the carefully groomed hairstyle, and the slim and more elegant outfit.

Zhou Ziheng's image changed drastically in an instant.

In the past, although Zhou Ziheng's image was not unkempt, because he did not have a professional and highly skilled stylist, he gave people the impression of being more like a clean big boy.

This time, with the help of a stylist, Zhou Ziheng's image immediately changed from a clean big boy to a fashionable and trendy one.

This sudden change in image is a surprise within a surprise for fans.

The fashion industry in Asia has not yet developed to its current scale.

But it is influenced by Europe, America and Japan.

At this time, Hong Kong and Taiwan already showed signs of pursuing trends and fashion.

Zhou Ziheng suddenly transformed into a fashion trendsetter, although some fans could not accept this change.

But this effect is almost negligible.

Because, for fans, they wish their idols had more handsome photos for them to collect.

"This is really cool, buy it, I'm going to put it on my pillow when I sleep."

Wang Xiaohui spoke loudly.

At this time, there was more than one person like Wang Xiaohui.

After Zhou Ziheng's new photo appeared in Hong Kong, he immediately attracted fans.

More than 60,000 copies of the New Era magazine were sold that day. It was said that most of them were bought because of Zhou Ziheng's photo.

In addition to causing a certain sensation among the fan community.

Zhou Ziheng's new image has also attracted some attention in the fashion circle.

Chen Youjian, one of the top three designers in Hong Kong at the time, was even more outspoken.

"Zhou Ziheng is definitely a leading figure in the future Eastern fashion circle. His new look can definitely make the cover of Fashion Figures."

Even Leslie Cheung, the current fashion leader in Hong Kong, smiled and said when asked:

"I like his new look, it's really cool."

……

The new look was well received, which made Zhou Ziheng more determined to add smoky makeup to the photo album.

A few days later, after a brief planning, Yang Fan selected the location for the photo album shoot.

A total of seven sets of photos are tentatively planned for the photo album.

The location is different for each group.

China has so many beautiful landscapes, so there is certainly no shortage of places to take photos.

He chose the shooting locations for each group at some famous scenic spots in the country.

Except for Guangzhou.

The shooting location here is the seaside.

This is a popular photo shooting location, and many people choose to shoot at the beach.

The filming was actually not difficult. Zhou Ziheng only had to pose according to the requirements of director Yang Fan.

Of course, eyes are important.

A photo is not a movie. If you want to take a good photo, the protagonist's eyes are very important.

Be gloomy when it is time to be gloomy, and be murderous when it is time to be murderous.

Zhou Ziheng himself has a certain talent for acting. Although it was his first filming, he quickly got into the state after getting familiar with it.

The first set of photos was taken in just one day.

After the shooting was completed, Zhou Ziheng and others immediately returned to the studio and developed the photos.

After looking at the entire set of photos, Yang Fan found Zhou Ziheng and solemnly put forward a suggestion.

“I don’t think we need to shoot all seven photo shoots in black and white.

Just like the group of photos taken at the beach today, I just looked at the finished products and I think the colors should be turned up higher to give people a feeling of very vivid colors.

After all, the sky blue ocean itself represents healing, and if it were changed to black and white style, this photo album would be too dark. "

"Okay! Do as you say."

Zhou Ziheng thought about it and agreed with him directly.

Indeed, if a whole set of photos, with dozens of photos, are all in black and white, it would not be beautiful.

Taking a group of photos in each different style will make it more attractive.

After getting Zhou Ziheng's consent, Yang Fan immediately made changes to the shooting plan.

The originally planned all-dark series style has been adjusted.

Instead, only one group of dark photos was taken, and the other groups were shot in different styles.

It is not difficult to modify the plan, it just requires Yang Fan to adjust the shooting method.

This did not affect Zhou Ziheng's filming. The next day, they set off for Dunhuang, preparing to shoot a group of photos in the desert of Dunhuang.

The style of this group is in line with the wildness of Dunhuang's vast sandstorms.

This was proposed by Zhou Ziheng himself.

When it comes to wind and sand, everyone will immediately think of the wildness of the people in the northwest.

Of course, it's not just wild, but also romantic and mature.

In this set of photo albums, Zhou Ziheng lights a bonfire and rides a camel in the sunrise and sunset of Dunhuang, in the light of desert sand and vines, and he looks leisurely and free. The grandeur of the desert combined with Chen Kun's temperament is wild and romantic, and also adds a touch of maturity and stability to him.

Compared with the previous beach photos, Zhou Ziheng prefers this set more.

Men like wild romance.

Moreover, this set of photos has a very strong sense of atmosphere and is more artistic compared to the one at the seaside.

Zhou Ziheng even felt that if the quality of subsequent photo albums was average, perhaps this set could be used as the main one.
