Chapter 634 Makeup Master

After waiting for a while, Lin Mo did not see the director. Lin Mo simply found someone else first and went to the makeup artist to see the situation. Unfortunately, he was a little disappointed. Although this makeup artist had some skills, it was far less than his psychological expectations.

However, the makeup artist also pointed out the right direction for Lin Mo. Compared with the director, he is more familiar with the situation in China. Most of the people who are looking for the assistant director are found by the deputy director, and you may gain something from the deputy director.

I found a busy deputy director on the set. The two exchanged a few greetings and Lin Mo identified the purpose of the visit. He needed a masterpiece with excellent makeup skills and a deep understanding and research on makeup and even disguise.

That’s right, it’s research, not just craftsmanship, it’s equivalent to the difference between painters and painters. Painters can draw no badly, but painters can create brand new paintings by themselves. What Lin Mo needs now is such a talent who can study and create.

"It seems that there is a person who meets the requirements you said. Let me introduce him to you. Listen, if you want to recruit this person, you have a great chance of success."

Xu Bowen, 27 years old, is married, from Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, graduated from a chemistry department with a master's degree from a well-known American university. He is also a person who wants to pursue his own life like Lin Heng, but unfortunately the result is sad.

Associate director Yang Yuncheng introduced to Lin Mo from Xu Bowen's family background that the Xu family's ancestors were a Liyuan family. Since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, they began to enter the opera industry and run opera troupes.

Under the management of several generations, by the Tongzhi period, it was already a large opera troupe along the coast of Taihu Lake, with a reputation and reputation. At this time, the Xu family troupe welcomed an ambitious new class owner.

This new head teacher relied on the reputation and fame accumulated by his ancestors to win many famous names, and then used some extremely unlucky means to gain a lot of money and connections.

With the wealth obtained not only by means and the family business accumulated by his ancestors, this man built many theaters in a few years in various towns along the Taihu Lake, and turned into a wealthy businessman with a small family fortune.

Afterwards, the business gradually expanded to the entire Jiangnan region. Many opera-singing teahouses and theaters have shares in the Xu family. Now, some large theaters, theaters, and dance halls in Shanghai are rumored to have shares in the Xu family.

People from Huzhou are quite wealthy. Lin Mo probably is a member of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium, but they are not considered a wealthy family. They have no business interactions with the Lin family before, and Lin Mo has never heard of them or contacted them.

Back to the topic, although this ambitious headmaster has transformed into a wealthy businessman, his status is really not high and has been sarcastic by others.

This is normal. After all, it was the feudal era. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were the lowest. His ancestors were from operating opera troupes and even singing operas. In addition, the methods of making a fortune were not only simple, but naturally people looked down upon them.

The headmaster was an ambitious person, but his background seriously hindered his ambitions. He was unwilling to accept it. He finally chose to develop in the direction of officials and spent money to allow his descendants to study, and embarked on the path of many wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

However, the Qing Dynasty imperial examinations had restrictions on their background, and the opera singers were not allowed to participate in the future for three generations. The headmaster and his father were fine. Although they ran a opera troupe, they had never performed on stage and had not affected them after spending money to clear them. However, the headmaster grandfather was on stage for half of his life and could not clear them, so the headmaster's son was not qualified to refer to.

If the sons are not good for one generation, then the grandchildren will come. The headmasters and the sons will all get married early. Under the guidance of the teacher who was invited to pay a lot of money, there are really a few grandchildren who have achieved gratifying grades and are expected to be admitted to the scholar or even a juren.

Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty... was destroyed! The imperial examination... was gone! The grandson who once "studyed" became a sour and corrupt scholar in the mouths of others...

The old class master still did not give up. While using money and connections, he took advantage of the chaos of the current situation to arrange public office for his grandsons. Unfortunately, under the background of the new school, he did not cause any splash.

On the other hand, he immediately quit his old master at home and paid a lot of money to teach his juniors who returned from studying abroad.

When Xu Bowen was only six years old, he was born in the side room of the second bedroom, which was the second son of the second son of the head master, and the second son of the head master, was also born in the side room. He was the illegitimate child. Among the many grandsons born to the head master's son, no one was interested in it.

Due to the experience of the headmaster, no one wanted to accept the opera troupe of the ancestral family. However, the industry of the Xu family is closely related to opera, and he had to maintain this opera troupe, pushing it over and over, and finally pushing it to the second wife who was born in the vassal family.

The second wife didn't want to pay too much attention to the opera troupe, and was finally pushed to the father and brother of the side room. Although the father and brother of the side room were innocent, they lived in poverty and had no intention of picking and picking up the performance. The whole family went to the battle and did their best to the opera troupe.

Xu Bowen was a little transparent when he was young. He couldn't play with his cousins ​​of all sizes, but he had a good relationship with his cousins ​​in the opera troupe.

It may be because of the influence of the eyes or other reasons. The young Xu Bowen developed a strong interest in opera and the stage.

However, he was born in a vain and lived in a special environment since childhood. He was psychologically sensitive, delicate, cautious, and precocious. He knew very well what trouble he would cause when he did this. He never showed it, but sometimes he stared at the stage and rehearsal actors in a daze.

Unfortunately, some things are like springs. The more you press, the greater the feedback you get. Opera is like today's games and children. The more you don't let them touch, the more you don't let them play, the more curious he will be more yearning and thinking, until one day one rebounds wildly...

The same goes for Xu Bowen. As time goes by and grows, that thing is like a kitten scratching his heart, becoming more and more eager. Slowly, when he is alone, he secretly learns the actors to practice gestures.

Later, he was not discovered and became bolder. He secretly made costumes and props for performing operas, secretly put makeup on himself in the room, and the bed became his stage and was addicted to his own world.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you want to do this simply, there may be room for concealment or recovery. Unfortunately, he showed his talent in learning. Even if he is addicted to his own world, his grades are still far ahead of other children in the family.

The Xu family's expectations and attention to him became higher and higher as time goes by. I don't know who discovered that he was addicted to the play and quietly revealed it.

This made the old headmaster of the Xu family burst into great pain. The second house and Xu Bowen's parents were implicated and were severely punished by the old headmaster. After a series of storms, Xu Bowen was forced to adopt the eldest house by the old headmaster. At this time, the name was changed to Xu Bowen.

When he arrived at the big room, Xu Bowen was treated well. Apart from strictly prohibiting him from being allowed to come into contact with the show, he cared for a lot of care. However, most of the care was only for utilitarian purposes. Xu Bowen, who was psychologically sensitive, was deeply trapped.

Of course, he, who has been driven out of his own world, could only bury his love for the show in his heart and do what others want him to do according to the expectations of the Xu family.

The desire that has not yet been released is suppressed again and will eventually usher in a more violent outbreak. Xu Bowen was calm on the surface, focused on his studies, and even skipped his grade. He just turned seventeen years old and finished his high school course and graduated successfully.

At this time, Xu Bowen suggested to the Xu family that he wanted to study abroad, but the Xu family did not object, but there were some differences between the two sides in terms of study abroad location and major.

Professionally, Xu Bowen naturally yearns for theatre and performing arts that he longs for, but he definitely doesn't dare to mention it, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain for so many years of concealment?

So Xu Bowen focused on his science major with good grades. Anyway, his primary purpose was to break away from the control of the Xu family. His thoughts were very extreme at the time. When he went out, he could do whatever he wanted!

But the Xu family meant that he hoped that he would study liberal arts. One was literature and would become a great literary master in the future so that the Xu family could gain a reputation for inheriting the family through poetry and books; the other was to study finance, politics, law, and language, and to pursue a career in the future to make profits for the Xu family.

The Xu family had the idea of ​​letting him learn literature because Xu Bowen had the best grades in Chinese studies, which is understandable. After all, behind the opera is the long-standing Chinese culture, Xu Bowen is naturally more concerned.

However, Xu Bowen easily dispelled the Xu family's intentions. His reason was that famous domestic literati and many reactionary remarks might bring disaster to their families.

Although this remark is a bit extreme and confusing, at the time when the country is in danger and the nation is in decline, most famous literati are mostly people who are worried about the country and the people, and their remarks are naturally "reactionary", so the Xu family naturally dare not interfere.

As for other majors that the Xu family likes, Xu Bowen is unwilling to study. He knows that once he learns these, the Xu family will vow more to him in the future, and he will lose too much room for maneuver.

However, these majors are not so easy to fool. Xu Bowen negotiated many times but failed to convince the Xu family. In the end, he still made it clear that he didn't want to learn these things and had a firm attitude. The Xu family made concessions and allowed Xu Bowen to apply for the second best chemistry exam.

The Xu family’s concessions were considered that they would not be able to use others in the future, and they would be too forced, and it would be more than worth the loss to feel resentful towards the family.

Secondly, the times have changed. The arrival of the Republic of China has had a huge impact on feudal ideas. The status of merchants has risen, and the impact of origin on the Xu family's business has also been greatly reduced. The Xu family is only the old headmaster and the old headmaster is still resentful of the past. The younger generation's thoughts have changed. In addition, the old headmaster is old, and the Xu family is also undercurrents...

Due to various reasons, the Xu family made some compromises, and the places where they studied abroad were similar. The Xu family liked Japan and was relatively close, and Xu Bowen liked the United Kingdom. After all, there was drama there, and it was mainly on the other side of the earth, far enough from the Xu family.

The Xu family’s concession this time was because Xu Bowen taught himself English with a teacher during school. The Xu family slapped his head and chose the United States, which spoke English as well as the United States, which was closer to the United Kingdom.

If this were the case, there would be a passion between the Xu family and Xu Bowen. Unexpectedly, the old headmaster actually did something foolish and imposed a marriage on Xu Bowen. He also got married quickly and used some means to make his newlywed wife conceive Xu Bowen before he went abroad.

The old headmaster may be very smart. It probably saw through Xu Bowen's thoughts, but his methods were not satisfactory. I can only say that it would be too difficult to change by using the use of those disgraceful methods.

The Xu family and the Lin family are two different examples. The Lin family will also use some shameful means to achieve their goals, but these will be strictly restricted. The underage children of the Lin family basically cannot be contacted, let alone used on their own family members.

After the original topic, Xu Bowen, who was exhausted physically and mentally, finally left the Xu family and went to the United States alone, successfully admitted to the Department of Chemistry, a well-known American university.

After experiencing so much, Xu Bowen has also grown a lot. Although he first entered the American campus and joined the drama club, he was crazy for a while, but he quickly returned to peace and focused on his studies.

Of course, he still participated in the normal activities of the troupe, but his years of obsession in his heart had been dissolved, and all he left was to treat it as a hobby.

However, when the Xu family, who had been paying attention to him, got a few words, the old master Xu was furious and stubbornly believed that he was deadly and cut off Xu Bowen's source of income to serve as a warning.

The cut off the source of income did give Xu Bowen some troubles, but it was quickly solved. Because of the operation of painting makeup and making costume props when he was young, Xu Bowen was very quick in the troupe's makeup and costume arts, and he quickly took over a lot of makeup and costume art work in the troupe, and his skills became even more leap. With this skill, he gained a lot of respect and connections with friends in the troupe.

One of his friends had some relationships in the American entertainment industry. When they knew his dilemma, they introduced him to a makeup artist who worked part-time to perform ordinary makeup, special effects makeup, clothing preparation and other work for actors and theaters. They started to do odd jobs and do a little bit of everything.

However, Xu Bowen is quick to get started and has a solid foundation. He quickly learned superb makeup skills from makeup masters. Whether it is ordinary makeup or special effects makeup, Xu Bowen is competent, which earned him a generous reward.

Xu Bowen has been doing this part-time job for nearly three years. Even though the Xu family restored his financial resources, it has not stopped. His makeup technique has made him very skilled.

However, he only worked for one year in person. For the remaining two years, he basically only worked behind the scenes. With the help of his professional knowledge, he studied and prepared some makeup products for the makeup master, or participated in the production of some emerging latex special effects masks.

After graduating from undergraduate studies, Xu Bowen chose to join a cosmetics company and engaged in cosmetics research. Well... these four years of rich life experience have made him mature and actively planned his remaining life.

Because of his rich practical and research experience during college, he achieved fruitful research results within one year, won the attention of the company, and approved his application for further study with residency.

However, Xu Bowen graduated with a master's degree and was still preparing to continue his studies. However, the old headmaster Xu could no longer tolerate this grandson who had lost control for many years. He didn't know what methods he used to make Xu Bowen's document go wrong, so he had no choice but to return to China.
