A makeup artist working in a fashion magazine is like a temporary employee preparing for the public examination. In fact, he wants to use his current job as a springboard, but he cannot reveal it. Once he talks about it, the boss will feel that this person will eventually leave. , since you can't keep them, you don't need to bother cultivating them, so you just marginalize them and ignore them.
Therefore, how to use the current environment to exercise personal abilities, and how to naturally expand contacts on this basis, are all knowledge that makeup artists like Shen Zhenzhen must master.
Leaving the magazine to go it alone was difficult, but easy. The most typical example is Nancy, who directly finds the next company and asks the star team to terminate the contract with the company. Both parties are amicable and there will be opportunities to cooperate again in the future.
In fact, the makeup artist for that shoot was originally Shen Zhenzhen, but she was too hard-working and careless at the time. She had not slept for two days before that. God was not kind, and she fell ill at the critical moment, so Nancy directly To the rescue, she followed the design concept she had finalized and decided on the final makeup.
This kind of thing, as long as the framework is out, it can be done by makeup artists, and many times the so-called "hot hits" are due to luck, depending on how the company behind the artist markets and hypes, and second, to use tricks. Sometimes celebrities A certain angle with a certain make-up makes him look extremely handsome, but other aspects are ordinary, but one picture is enough to amaze fans and passers-by, so it became popular by chance.
Nancy took advantage of Shen Zhenzhen's achievements and hooked up with the artist, and peacefully terminated the contract. After that, she moved around several times and went solo successfully.
In comparison, Shen Zhenzhen looks very miserable. She seems to be trapped in an endless loop. The more aggressive she is, the less the magazine wants to let her go. But if she is not aggressive, she cannot reach more people in the circle.
Just like that, there will never be a day to come forward.
"She can have such a shitty ideal in life!"
With Nancy's scolding still ringing in her ears, Shen Zhenzhen walked out of the elevator tiredly, her heels reddened by the high heels, and limped toward the road.
She knew what she said was true, and she did not have any ideals.
He was busy making money, kept making money, and seemed to get nothing in the end. Just like he had deliberately used ambiguous words to make Nancy misunderstand that he had found Qin Jue's current home, but upon closer inspection, this kind of "getting the upper hand" was also It's just a moment of pleasure.
Alas - a social animal.
Shen Zhenzhen sat on the Internet to book a taxi and leaned back in her chair not wanting to move.
She thinks this kind of thing is quite normal. People in society just compete with each other, compete for quick words, status, salary, etc., and then look at people who are not as good as themselves to feel refreshed and feel a sense of superiority.
If Nancy and her status were to be reversed, she might not be able to help but choke.
We are all bad people, no one is better than anyone else, so why are we pretending? Don’t you dress up enough?
The phone was buzzing and vibrating. Shen Zhenzhen picked it up and took a look. Another familiar message popped up in the group chat of "Love and Love as a Family".
[Dad]: [Voice message] Zhenzhen, you are also twenty-nine. It is difficult to find a partner at thirty.
[Dad]: [Voice message] The son of your aunt's old classmate is about the same age as you, but three years older. He works within the system and is a minor official. He earns a lot and is stable. What do you think?
[Dad]: [Information][Photo][Chat History]
[Dad]: [Voice message] We have enough money at home, so we don’t need to spend money all the time. Your mother and I don’t have much money to spend, so you should worry more about yourself.
[Dad]: [Language message] Your circle is chaotic and it’s hard to find a partner. It’s better to come back and go on blind dates and see more people. Don’t worry if your family introduces you. There will always be someone who likes you.
"..."
Shen Zhenzhen refrained from breaking down in front of the driver and groaned. She just exhaled again and exited the Feixun group chat window.
Yes, it’s hard to find a partner in the fashion industry, so those with good conditions are all hooking up with models. Last year, there was a guy who called me, but I didn’t expect it to be a Neptune, and they broke up within two months of dating.
Besides, her career hasn't been established yet, so who can she find a partner for?
The people on the blind date would either say, "It's not good for you to dress up like that," or they'd say, "Stop making money like this. You're a woman who's always busy with work, which makes me uncomfortable," or else they'd say, "I I don’t mind that you have been showing off outside for so many years, but after you get married, I think you should take care of the baby at home and breastfeed it.” Fuck you.
I want to make money!
Shen Zhenzhen became angry when she thought about it, and became even more tired when she was angry. She rolled her eyes and opened her WeChat Moments to scroll through the news.
She scratched with her thumb and suddenly stopped.
This is a Moments post posted by one of her closest roommates in college. She got married, and the wedding photos were beautiful. The man next to her, Shen Zhenzhen, didn't know her, but the photo of them embracing looked very happy.
Shen Zhenzhen clicked a like, and subconsciously clicked on her roommate's profile picture, wanting to send an emoticon like before and ask her, "When did you little girl hook up with a good man behind my back?" or "Wow, you are awesome!" You're already married and you didn't tell me first that I was going to make trouble!" Then her hand stopped again.
In the chat box, the last time they sent messages to each other was recorded a year ago.
Shen Zhenzhen stared at this page for a long time.
She remembered that after graduation, everyone divided their things. The cities were different and the jobs were very different. She had new colleagues and new partners, and gradually lost the common topics with each other. She was just busy with her own things and living her life. respective lives.
"Miss? Miss, we're here."
The driver's voice brought Shen Zhenzhen back to reality.
She nodded in a panic and said thank you, picked up the exquisite designer handbag, got out of the car, and returned to her residence.
"…………"
Shen Zhenzhen threw herself into the single bed, looked up at the ceiling, and stared blankly.
After a while, the phone vibrated again with news from cousin Shen Ziqiong.
[Qiongqiong]: Cousin! ! !
[Qiongqiong]: Xiaolang said that he has read all the resumes he submitted and responded to them one by one!
[Qiongqiong]: Have you replied yet? !
[Qiongqiong]: Speaking of which, I downloaded particularly useful archeology exam preparation materials today! The senior said that all the past postgraduate entrance examination questions are here!
[Qiongqiong]: Wow, I really want to read the magazine again. Your makeup is really great. Teacher Qin is so handsome that I am stunned.
[Qiongqiong]: But you have to learn! ! Go for the dream! #狠 fist#Come on
[Qiongqiong]: After memorizing the knowledge points, I will come back and continue to praise your makeup skills! ! !
[Qiongqiong]: [Cat head beats passionately]
This silly girl is still so energetic.
Shen Zhenzhen smiled slightly as she looked at it, and sighed softly.
very nice.
This is probably the empathy of "I am happy to see others do things that I can't do." Although she is just a very mediocre wage earner, she sees her cousin being so optimistic and working hard towards her goal every day. Moving forward, I am still quite happy for her.
Huh, resume... I guess there's no good news.
When Shen Ziqiong shared the recruitment information, Shen Zhenzhen was not unmoved. In her opinion, the conditions offered by Qin Jue were generous enough, but the only fatal ones were two. One was the requirement to use Qin Jue's makeup. Construction is the first priority, and secondly, it is clearly informed that the room for improvement is small and there are not many places that can be used.
Putting these two together, the direct result is that although Shen Zhenzhen can leave the magazine, it is not convenient for one makeup artist to work for several stars and take orders alone like other colleagues. Because if Qin Jue suddenly has any work needs, according to the terms of the contract, she must put aside all arrangements in her hands and give priority to serving Qin Jue. This is a taboo in the industry, and she will not be able to survive if she comes here a few more times. .
But if you just bind Qin Jue, you have to face the problem of "small room for improvement". If what my cousin said is right, this actor is really low-key, doesn't like to be exposed, doesn't appear in announcements, and he is very good at acting without makeup. He probably doesn't officially appear on camera with makeup a few times throughout the year. This is the same as Shen Zhenzhen in "RayE" 》The situation is no different, and even taking into account the social connections, the situation will be worse.
So she thought about it over and over again and decided to write her resume, but she just had the attitude of giving it a try.
It was too risky. Shen Zhenzhen knew it. Like most social animals, she didn't really dare to fight.
Staying in "RayE"... after all, it's a regular job, right? Don’t worry about not making enough money and getting promoted...
Shen Zhenzhen bit her lip and hit the bed angrily.
She was like this, and she was like this several times before, so in the end she was retained by Mr. Gu's methods.
Resigning and changing jobs require courage and are a gamble on the future of your career.
well.
Anyway, Qin Jue, a potential newcomer, is very popular in the circle. Everyone is vying for her, even if they don't say it openly or secretly, so they may not be able to get her turn.
The boss is a good boss, but I am not aware enough.
Shen Zhenzhen sighed for an unknown number of times, pushed herself up from the bed, took off her gorgeous but inconvenient dress, then removed her makeup, loosened her hair, and did facial care.
"……well."
She was so tired, she didn't want to move.
Her stomach growled loudly, and Shen Zhenzhen remembered that she had been busy for another day. She even rushed to Semna to inquire about news in the evening, and she hadn't even eaten much.
She was the only one in the residence, and it was deserted. She didn't want to cook, so she had to wait while ordering takeout.
Forget it, go to the cafe not far downstairs to get some coffee and bread.
Shen Zhenzhen put down the bottles and jars and changed the clothes she wore when going out. Although she was extremely lazy, she still matched them fashionably and beautifully. This was already an occupational disease for people in their circle, and it was still engraved in their DNA. That kind of thing.
Since you’re going out, you can’t go without makeup.
She looked at the makeup mirror and really didn't want to put on full makeup, especially eye makeup, so she took out the eyebrow pencil and lipstick and quickly applied it to improve her complexion.
"Tsk, there's still hair..."
Shen Zhenzhen scratched her head of wavy hair. She used too much hairspray when she made her last hairstyle, and now it looked greasy.
Ahhh, it’s so annoying. I don’t want to wash it anymore. I’ll wash it again when I come back.
"This is definitely the sloppiest day I've had all year."
Shen Zhenzhen put a hat on her head and despised herself in her heart.
Forget it, you, Shen Zhenzhen, are you? No one is looking at you when you are making noises or whatever.
She reluctantly carried her bag and shoes and went downstairs.
