Want to know something about the crew, what do you need to know as a film and television makeup artist?

Let me answer your question: "What do you want to know as a film and television makeup artist?" I hope it helps you. Today, I came to popularize knowledge again. Make-up artists who want to work in the crew must see it. It may have something to do with you! ?

First of all, the crew will choose an auspicious day as the opening. Yes, every crew member will do that. This ceremony originated in Hong Kong, and actually means praying for the blessing of God (grandfather). Usually on this day, all kinds of fruits will be placed on the table, and the roasted pigs (these are not for you) will be covered with red cloth. Hong Kong films were first made by those people, so they also worshipped Guan Gong.

Secondly, why does the camera have to be covered with red cloth? In fact, the main reason is the fear of scratching the film. More than 20 years ago, film was still very expensive. If it's scratched, it won't work. The professional film is like this: 400 feet is 1 10,000 yuan, and 400 feet can be filmed for 4 minutes. Do the math. Now movies are 90 minutes, more than 20 times the price. 10 years ago, Kodak's small roll of film was 122 meters (one roll), which was enough for amateur use, about 366 feet (one meter is three feet). This kind of ordinary film can take almost 20-25 minutes, and it only takes 3-5 minutes to cut. In fact, most of the staff are using digital cameras now, and this film will soon become history like vinyl records. Although most crews still cover their digital cameras with red cloth when they are turned on, many people don't know why. ?

Finally, it is forbidden to give red envelopes in the play. Roy Cheung, who plays the crow in Young and Dangerous, heard that he needed to tear down the statue of Guan Gong because of the need of the plot. At that time, when filming the scene, Roy Cheung actually resisted. As we all know, Guan Yu used to be the embodiment of loyalty in America. At first, we said that Hong Kong films were originally made by gangs, and the god of gang confession was Wu Shen Guan Yu, so Roy Cheung didn't accept them at first, but later made them for various reasons. Do you know why? That's my answer. I hope I can help you.
