Movie Master

Tom Cruise looked at the number of floors in the elevator and stopped at "three". After the elevator door opened, he walked out, and a dazzling array of clothes immediately came into view. Eighties retro clothing. The assistants, stylists, hair stylists and bodyguards who were following him also came out one after another. The assistants had already walked in front of Tom and led the way.

Go down the corridor, and then stop at the fifth office on the right. The spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling glass doors can clearly see all kinds of clothing inside, and the staff inside are busy coming and going. Tom looked back, and his bodyguards retreated automatically, and went to the floor lounge skillfully. This is the office building of Paramount Pictures, so their work is relatively easy.

Tom led his other three staff into the room, looked around, but did not see Lance, his assistant had already stepped forward to inquire about the situation. Today is the day when the cast of "Murder with a Borrowing Knife" will set their makeup. Every actor needs to determine the hairstyle, clothing, makeup and other related details according to the role, which is also a crucial part of the actor's performance.

Due to Tom's supremacy and the leading actor in the movie, his fitting time was arranged separately. At this time, there were no other actors in the room except the staff. However, even Lance didn't show up, and Tom couldn't help being a little surprised.

At this time, the assistant came over with a tall, thin man. The man was wearing a white shirt and a dark green bow tie. He was neat but still dressed like a British gentleman. He wore a black earring on his earlobe. Nails complement the pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose.

The man showed a polite smile, "Mr. Cruise, hello, I'm Edgar-Snow, the stylist for the crew, and I will be in charge of your styling design today." The man's friendly look It left a good impression on Tom, "Lance has told me in advance that you have your own ideas and ideas about the role, so we can communicate first and then come up with a suitable plan."

Because the role of Vincent is very special, he is a professional killer. As we all know, a professional killer must be unobtrusive, and even if he runs into the crowd, he must quickly disappear into the turbulence. Work. But Tom's appearance is too conspicuous, so he has to hide his appearance characteristics through changes in makeup and hair, and even install prostheses to change the shape of his face if necessary.

For example, Nicole Kidman installed a prosthetic nose in "The Hours", which made her almost unrecognizable, and eventually she won an Oscar for best actress; In "/The Devil", she was completely unrecognizable, and her crazy performance also made her win the Oscar.

Appearance should be a part of acting.

Bringing stylists and hair stylists here, on the one hand, they do not trust the staff of the crew, and on the other hand, they insist on Tom's own ideas. This is almost the standard equipment of all first-line actors. Even if they are ugly, they must ensure that they are on the screen. The image will not offend the audience.

Tom nodded, and under the guidance of Edgar, he came to the sofa group next to the room, and the group sat down one after another. At this time, another assistant came over, stood next to Tom's assistant and asked in a low voice, "Does Mr. Cruise need anything? Tea or coffee? Or something else?"

Hearing the question, Tom raised his head and glanced at the assistant. He had a short round head, tough and capable, but his palm-sized face was mostly covered by a pair of rimless glasses. His glasses are too eye-catching, with a hint of honesty in his simplicity, and his slightly lowered eyes are a little restrained and dull.

It was just a glance, the rough impression flashed through his mind, and Tom raised his voice and said, "Just give me a bottle of mineral water, just don't unscrew the cap." Then he looked back at his A stylist and a hair stylist, they both ordered coffee.

The assistant turned and retreated, and Tom's assistant also took a seat. Edgar then said, "Lance introduced the image of Vincent to me before, and I have also read the biography of this character, so I designed several different images. However, after I showed Before making my own achievements, I think I should listen to your opinion first."

Tom raised his eyebrows in surprise. The name Edgar Snow is not well-known in Hollywood. Of course, it is not easy for a stylist to make a name for himself. Moreover, Lance's previous two works were both related to styling. It didn't matter much, so Tom was very worried when he heard that the stylist for the crew was provided by Chaos Pictures, and he was even ready to argue with Tom today. Unexpectedly, Edgar showed his sincerity first when he came up, which was a good start.

Tom nodded and began to speak his thoughts in a low voice. After a short while, a bottle of mineral water appeared on the table, followed by coffee. Tom didn't pay any attention, and was still describing his idea of ​​Vincent, but at this moment, the coffee cup didn't appear. They collided carefully, and with a crisp sound, the coffee poured down.

Tom stood up reflexively, to avoid pouring coffee on his pants and shoes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." The voice of apology followed, Tom raised his head, and saw the assistant just now , he looked at Tom with an apologetic face, and then at the other people sitting next to him, apologizing repeatedly.

Tom couldn't help frowning slightly, a light flashed in his mind, but it was so fleeting, there was no time to catch it, the assistant turned around, picked up a tissue, and began to wipe the coffee stains on the table. Edgar also stood up and apologized aloud, "I'm really sorry, the assistant is clumsy."

Tom waved his hand, and then saw the assistant standing up straight and handing over a tissue. Tom stared at the other side in a daze. There was a piece of blue rippling behind the thick lens, and the light in his mind flickered again. At this moment, he finally noticed the abnormality—the assistant in front of him looked very familiar, and he had this feeling when he met him for the first time just now, so he looked at him twice more, but he couldn't tell why for a while, At this time, this feeling came to my heart again.

"No, no, it's okay." Tom waved his hand subconsciously, "I didn't get splashed on me." He seriously wanted to look at the assistant—it's not uncommon to meet someone he knows, and Tom is also in Hollywood. After twenty years, I have met eight thousand people if not ten thousand, and I will meet acquaintances everywhere. But today this feeling is very strange. Tom always wants to look up and take a closer look at the eyes hidden behind the lens.

But the other party turned his head again and handed the tissue to Tom's accompanying stylist and hair stylist, leaving Tom with a profile. Then Tom heard his companion complain, "You can't even hold the coffee steadily, are you sure you are suitable for an assistant job? For God's sake, this suit is not wet." Although not arrogant , but the tone of complaint is very obvious.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The assistant bowed slightly, and apologized again cautiously and uneasily. The slightly deep and hoarse voice was full of uncertainty—yes, it was uncertainty, not timidity or fear. , but a kind of uncertainty.

"Lancelot?" Tom said the name inexplicably, and his brain blurted out before his reason. After he said it, his first reaction was "I'm crazy". But after thinking about it seriously, Tom leaned forward again, looked at the past, and said in a startled voice again, "Lancelot!"

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded. They looked at Tom in confusion, and then at the assistant in front of them.

The assistant slowly stood up straight, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was gently outlined, as if witnessing the blooming of epiphyllum, layer after layer of flower buds opened within sight, and the cramped and cautious attitude melted away in the smile , and then he took off those eyes, and those eyes as bright as stars were displayed in front of his eyes, it was Lance!

Everyone gasped, and Tom's team standing across from them was even more at a loss for a while.

Lance shook his head with a chuckle at Tom, "So, you still recognize me."

"Damn God!" Tom's eyeballs were about to fall out, "You've been dangling in front of my eyes for so long, and I just recognize it now!" What's even more absurd is that, apart from a pair of wine bottle bottom glasses, Lance didn't have any other disguise, and he didn't recognize it at first glance.

After looking at Lance's attire up and down, Tom realized that Lance had changed into a work uniform. The dark blue would not be too ostentatious, nor deliberately low-key. It was similar to other cleaners or doormen, and it was easy to let People ignored it; the short jet-black hair was shaved off directly, leaving only a thin layer, like a green lawn. Although people say that changing a hairstyle changes a person, it is still too unbelievable. Lance, who had a round inch, lost his previous elegance and gentlemanly style, and his whole person looked tough. Even if he was a soldier, there was absolutely no problem; The eye-catching temperament is completely restrained, unpretentious like a rough stone, completely hidden under the glasses.

It turns out that changing the appearance can really change a person's temperament, and it turns out that acting skills can really achieve the purpose of being reborn. It's as if many people don't believe that Nicole has changed into another person in "The Moment" after installing a fake nose; Tom also can't believe that Lance in front of him has such an earth-shaking change.

Taking a closer look, Lance is still the same Lance, his clear and bright eyes are like stars in the sky, as if the illusion just now is like a dream. "So, this is how you look in the movie?" Tom suddenly realized.
