The reason why Lin Qu asked Du Su to make American dramas was because he felt that Du Su could first learn how to act well from American TV dramas that strive for perfection and basically move closer to the standard of filming.

In order to allow the audience to remember the plot of American TV dramas, they can watch them on time in front of the TV a week later. Each episode will cost a very high production cost and time.Sometimes Chinese TV dramas can shoot one episode in two days, but in the United States, it is normal to shoot only one episode in eight or nine days.

And because the script of "Basket Color Man and Woman" written by Du Su was originally defined as a mini-short play, it must impress and firmly grasp the audience from the very beginning, so the first episode is only 10 minutes long. , The filming was repeatedly nitpicking, repeated deletions, revisions and reshoots, which took more than 20 days.

Efforts will always pay off. After the first episode was submitted to various TV stations for review and trial broadcast to some viewers, the response was very, very good, and the TV station decided to book the next six episodes with them, so The crew began to continue filming the remaining episodes, slowly filming and broadcasting.

Later, Du Su admitted frankly in an interview in China: At that time, the pressure was really great.

For the first time, he put so much energy into a TV series.He is not only a screenwriter, not only a makeup artist, but also an important actor in the play.There are so many things to do and so many responsibilities.In the past, he only needed to finish filming his own scenes, but shooting "Basket Man and Woman" required too much responsibility.

After each episode is broadcast, you have to pay attention to the ratings and the comments on the Internet, so that you can modify certain plots according to the audience's reaction.

In the shooting of American TV series, sometimes the screenwriter is more important than the director. The director is like an executor. All he needs to do is to shoot what the screenwriter wants to express.Even with a general script, a huge team of screenwriters is needed to study every detail and perfectly present every line.

However, due to the screenwriters' strike, the team was reduced or only some students were invited from the school to make up the number.They know every basic thing about the script, but they can't help in any practical sense.Du Su can only keep working hard to recall and restore the plots he has seen before, and add his own innovations, and then others will supplement and improve some small places.

Although the first episode of "Basket Man and Woman" has attracted TV stations and made them decide to want this drama, it is not enough.Once there is an episode that the audience doesn't like and there is no ratings, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Du Su knew that this drama won an award, but he was not sure whether it would still be popular because it was filmed in advance and aired in advance.

So with the daily limit of the ratings and various comments from the audience, Du Su's mood fluctuated like a roller coaster.Sometimes I even worry that the ratings will plummet after a certain episode is filmed, and the TV station will cut it off and no longer broadcast it.

Fortunately, the final result is still satisfactory to everyone.

Before the filming started, when Dusu set the makeup for Bernard Alby and Bonita Ledbit and himself for the first time, Nance exclaimed: "Sue, you should not be an actor, you should be a makeup artist , the whole world will be crazy about your technology."

Du Su smiled. It must always be happy to be in the field he likes. He would not pretend to be modest and say that you are too polite, but he feels that the Americans are too exaggerated. .

"Hey, I like this look of mine." The male protagonist Bernard also said excitedly, "Su, I have read your Chinese martial arts novels and I like them very much. Is this the 'disguise technique'? I think this Even more amazing than 'Kung Fu'."

Du Su was ashamed.As for the disguise technique, in fact, in 2030, it was indeed researched and restored.Using traditional Chinese medicine to develop things like powder does not require props to shape the skin like the current special effects. It takes a few hours to stick it on the person, and the person can be completely changed in a short time.

It's just that Du Su thinks that such things are still too shocking, so he only uses some conventional methods.Until this time, because of the relatively large change in the requirements of the characters in the play, I managed to get some raw materials to make new tools.

This time, make-up will be brought up as a condition, not only because he seldom serves foreigners and wants to take this opportunity to study, but also because the make-up of this drama is very challenging.

Bernard was shocked by Du Su when they met for the first time, and he knew that Du Su recommended him to have this role. He likes China very much. change.

Du Su felt as if he had seen another Qin Mang, and he was very indulgent towards Bernard while thinking about it. The relationship between the two heated up rapidly with the enthusiasm of one and the cooperation of the other.

In November, the TV series has not yet officially aired, but the promotional short film of "Basket Man and Woman" has already made a head start, and has aroused great repercussions throughout the United States.

The short film does not have a preview of the plot, but a sentence that two men and three women said in a certain situation flashed alternately.

Among them, the heroine Bonita with long chestnut red hair was easily recognized.When Du Su put on makeup for her, he just modified it according to her appearance, making her face more translucent and clear-cut.Then, on the inner side of her left forearm, a long piece of verdant bamboo was drawn, and on the inner side of her right wrist, a very small, naive panda was drawn.

The blond-haired man, Bernard, and another unknown blond-haired woman both painted a plum blossom pattern on the corner of the right eye around the eye, spreading and climbing up the branches, which is extremely charming and attractive.There are also three letters tattooed on her straight buttocks, "CAO".

Knowing that these three characters represent the meaning of "FUCK" in Chinese, many Americans expressed their appreciation for the sense of humor revealed in it, and this pronunciation quickly became the most popular sentence in the United States.

The women salivated at Bernard's appearance: "Just looking at the tattoo on his eye, I want to push him down and lick it lightly."

Men are more interested in who that beautiful woman is.

Needless to say, the black-haired man is Du Su.This time he didn't do much dressing up for himself, he just wore a pair of light blue jeans and a white shirt very simply, giving a clean and refreshing feeling at a glance.

The black-haired woman in an exquisite Hanfu sat there kneeling with her eyes lowered. She didn't say a word, but she was full of indescribable and desirable Chinese classical beauty.

After this short video was played several times, tattoos became almost crazy in the United States.It’s just that the Americans who went to the tattoo parlor were dissatisfied with the monotonous colors there, and complained repeatedly that they were not as beautiful and vivid as those in the film. vulgar.

They didn't know that those patterns were not tattooed, but Du Su used his own special medicine to design and draw them according to his personal design, which could not fade for a long time.

The owner of the painting was also very satisfied with this. At the end of the shooting, Bernard and Bonita, who loved the little panda so much, asked someone to tattoo "CAO" and the panda in real life according to Dusu's painting. tattoo.
