Chapter 14 Live Broadcast: From Now On, This Minister’s Identity Is Clear

Liu Shao's clarification blog caused netizens to change from criticizing him openly to criticizing him secretly.

Just when netizens were speculating that Wang Jing would not respond, his Weibo account, which had been inactive for five years, was actually updated.

He forwarded Liu Shao's blog post and added the following comment: Gao Shule was my co-star in my previous drama. If you have seen her performance, you will also appreciate her.

Netizens raised questions in the comment section: [The director’s last film was a TV series, right? I heard that it was his first time directing a small-screen film and half of the entertainers in the entertainment industry went to audition, but in the end they chose such an obscure actor. 】

I thought Wang Jing wouldn't read the comments, but unexpectedly he did and responded: because it was a beautiful supporting role with opera skills.

"Mirage" tells the story of a wealthy family that fell apart due to turbulent times and differences in beliefs during the Republic of China. The third female character is the third daughter of this big family. In order to please her parents who love to listen to operas, she bought a girl from the opera house. This girl is the little maid played by Gao Shule.

This role exists more as a background board and background sound, and has very few scenes. However, because many important plot turning points in the play take place in the theater, it is different from ordinary supporting roles. Wang Jing requires actors to be able to sing by themselves, to master multiple genres, and to be beautiful.

She has to be able to sing and be beautiful, but such a person is simply not found among the extras in the film and television studios, and it is impossible for an already famous artist to play a maid with only a pitifully small role. Taking multiple factors into consideration, only Gao Shule meets the requirements.

Wang Jing is very satisfied with Gao Shule, not only because of her opera skills, but also because her image and temperament are consistent with the role.

The maid's name was Yaohe. When Wang Jing saw Gao Shule for the first time, he felt that she was a lotus flower whose life had been ups and downs and was swaying in the wind and rain of the times.

Most of the character's scenes require her to wear opera costumes, so when there is a scene, she has to rush to the scene before dawn to put on makeup. Sometimes her scenes couldn't be filmed for the whole day, so she had to wait on the set from morning to night with makeup on. That kind of oil paint made her skin very uncomfortable, and the eyebrow-lifting procedure gave her a headache and nausea.

Once when Wang Jing saw her squatting on the ground, holding a garbage bag and vomiting, he realized how much she suffered every day.

Wang Jing likes talented actors, and also likes actors who do not care about gains and losses and can stick to their goals, so he is willing to provide her with some help. After learning that his friend was making a cultural promotion program, he introduced her to the program.

When netizens saw Wang Jing’s reply, they realized that there were indeed not many female artists who met his conditions. Even if one is satisfied, it is impossible for one to play a minor role, which is completely different from a cameo.

But they also questioned whether Gao Shule really had any skills in opera.

[Can Gao Shule sing opera?] Why don’t I believe it? 】

[To be honest, first of all, she is really beautiful and will not be buried. Secondly, she has a special talent, so at least she will be a little popular in the entertainment industry, even if she is not very popular. 】

[I see that those stars who have no special talents are marketed very well, but those who have special talents find it too easy to establish their image. 】

[Then I think, either her "beauty" is fake, or her skills are learned on the spot]

[One moment he said someone had plastic surgery, the next moment he spread obscene rumors about someone, and now he suspects that someone's special abilities are fake. Instead of questioning it here, it is better to wait and ask her in her live broadcast room. 】

[Gao Shule is going to start a live broadcast?] 】

[Yes, eleven o'clock, welcome to come and see us.] 】

After two rounds of attacks from black hot searches, the passers-by who originally had a good impression of Gao Shule not only did not run away, but were tortured into becoming her die-hard fans. As soon as they knew that she was going to start a live broadcast, they helped her promote it in the square.

Gao Shule's popularity has been so high these days that everyone knows she is going to start a live broadcast and wants to join in the fun.

I kept an eye on the account and entered her live broadcast room at the appointed time.

A fair and smooth child's face suddenly appeared in the camera. The child rested his arms on the table and held his face with both hands. His cheeks were squeezed together, looking soft and pink.

The little head tilted to one side unintentionally, and the two big eyes stared at the screen. He blinked in confusion because he couldn't understand the functions of the live broadcast interface.

As soon as I came in, I saw such a soft and cute face, and the barrage of comments was full of ghost howling.

[So cute, my baby!] 】

[Gao Shule is so scheming that she even used Little Dumpling to coax me. How can I stand this! 】

[Magpie TV, your good fortune is yet to come. I will definitely follow this variety show. 】

[Oh, you are so cute, like a white and tender little bun! 】

【Baby! If you had come out to live stream earlier, there wouldn’t be all those things going on on the internet. 】

Gao Luo thought that no one would watch the show when it first started, so she wanted to study the functions first. She didn't expect so many people to come in at once.

"Wait a minute, I'll go call Lele."

She sat back and inched herself out of the chair.

[Baby, slow down.] 】

[Call me next time and I’ll bring it down for you!] 】

Less than a minute after Gao Luo left, she called Gao Shule over. Gao Shule was very nervous. Looking at the scrolling barrage of comments, she felt like those people were sitting right across from her.

Fortunately, Gao Luo put the phone away the next moment.

[Why are you holding it so far away? I want to be closer to you, baby! 】

[It’s fine if it’s far away, but why is the direction off? 】

Gao Luo was adjusting her position because she was going to put makeup on Gao Shule later, and she wanted to make sure that her movements and Gao Shule's complete face could be seen in the camera.

"I'm going to do Lele's makeup today, so it might take a long time. If you have other things to do, just go do your own things and watch the replay when it's over, okay?" Gao Luo explained to the netizens in the live broadcast room.

[I have time!] I could watch this all day! 】

[The baby even knows how to replay videos, so smart.] 】

【make up? How to live broadcast makeup? Baby, do you want to be a beauty blogger? 】

[Bu'er, can you really transform?] 】

Gao Luo prepared all the makeup tools in advance and let Gao Shule trim her eyebrows herself. She was afraid that she couldn't control her hands well and cut her eyebrows.

After she had finished, Gao Luo took out an extremely fine blade brush dipped in eyebrow powder and drew a thin arc on her eyebrows, then used a slightly larger angled brush to slowly blend it downwards. When outlining, I used a blue-black eyebrow powder, and when blending, I changed to a slightly lighter blue-gray color.

After blending, she changed another tool, a thin and flat eyebrow pencil, and gently drew each eyebrow one by one along the shape of the drawn eyebrows.

The layers are clear, dark on top and light on the bottom. If you look closely, you will feel a natural hair flow, while from a distance, it has a hazy and foggy feeling, like distant mountains.

It took Gao Luo half an hour to draw these two eyebrows. She thought that a large number of people would leave the live broadcast room. But when she looked back, the barrage on the screen was flashing so fast that she couldn't see clearly, and the number of people online had doubled.

She took a closer look and found that everyone was praising her.

【Wow! It’s Xiaoshanmei! 】

[It looks so good and fits Gao Shule’s temperament very well.] 】

[Little Baozi is so amazing, he actually knows how to draw eyebrows. 】

[What an amazing technique, where did you learn that?] 】

[My child is six years old and can’t even hold chopsticks. How can this child hold the eyebrow pencil and brush so steadily? 】

[Don’t tell me your child is six years old. I can’t draw eyebrows even when I’m twenty-six. 】

Gao Luo was very proud to have so many people praising her. “I’m awesome, right?”

[Awesome!] The baby is amazing! 】

[You can really be a beauty blogger now. I support you in opening an account. 】

[Who said she was a hand substitute before? Apologize to our baby now! 】

[You can draw so well at such a young age. How old were you when you started learning? 】

Gao Luo looked at the screen full of words praising her, put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and almost tilted her head up to the sky.

Gao Shule looked at her smug and cocky look and couldn't help but touch her head. "Okay, sit down for a while. I'll go cook."

It's noon now, time to cook, we can't let Luo go hungry.

Wash and cook the rice first, then cook the vegetables. I made beef stew with potatoes for her today. Cut the beef into pieces, blanch it in cold water, take it out and use rock sugar to make the sugar color. Add onion, ginger, garlic, star anise and bay leaves and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the beef and stir-fry. Add hot water and stew for a while, then transfer to a casserole and continue stewing.

She took advantage of this time to stir-fry two vegetarian dishes and cook a soup.

The living room is small and there is no way to separate it into a dining room, so we just put a dining table next to the sofa, in the same direction as the kitchen. Sitting at the dining table, you can directly see the scene in the kitchen.

Gao Luo flipped the camera of her mobile phone, and the live broadcast screen changed to the scene of Gao Shule busy in the kitchen.

[This is the transition from a beauty channel to a food channel. 】

[This person really knows how to cook, and his movements are very skillful.] 】

[Gao Shule is so beautiful like this, with a kind of worldly beauty. 】

[I said she is a mommy level! 】

Gao Shule was wearing an apron, with her long hair casually tied behind her head, and a few strands of hair fell on the side of her face. The steam from the stove rose in front of her, and her face looked more gentle, peaceful and beautiful than usual.

An hour later, three dishes and a soup were served on the table, and Gao Luo placed her cell phone there.

[Wow, I switched from the food channel to the food broadcast channel.] 】

[Wow, these are all my favorite dishes. They look delicious. 】

[Give me a bite!] 】

Gao Luo twisted her neck to read everyone's speeches, then scooped a spoonful of beef over and said, "Here you go."

[Oh my God!] The baby actually fed me! 】

[Ah... (opens mouth wide), delicious!] 】

[Our little Baozi can open another food broadcast account.] 】

After dinner, Gao Luo continued her beauty live broadcast.

She held the iPad and pointed the screen towards the camera of her phone. Netizens saw that the page the iPad stopped on was a group of photos of Gao Shule. When it was revealed that she had plastic surgery, the group of photos of her that were extremely ugly were all over the internet.

"These are some of Lele's previous role photos from different crews. Today I will restore his first face. This may take a long time, so you don't have to look at it if you don't want to."

After Gao Luo finished speaking, she started the first big project of the day.

There are so many people in the world, but not many are similar. Appearance is a magical thing. Many times, a slight mistake can lead to a huge difference. For example, if the distance between the eyes is a little longer or shorter, they will look like two completely different people.

Gao Luo used makeup to adjust her facial features and proportions according to her appearance in the photo.

When she got tired of painting, she asked Gao Shule to sit on the ground and she sat on a small stool.

About three hours later, the makeup was done. People in the live broadcast room saw that Gao Shule had changed completely, not looking like herself at all, but very similar to the face in the photo. Uneven eyes, long and short eyebrows, crooked lips, and a philtrum that's long enough to take a taxi.

"Le Le said that there are five roles in Chinese opera, namely Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou. The roles she played in the crew before were equivalent to the 'Chou' role. So it is normal for her to look a little ugly." Gao Luo winked at Gao Shule.

"Ah? Yes! That's it." Gao Shule reacted and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

[This means that those makeup looks are all made-up, right? 】

[I don’t know what those people who say she had plastic surgery are thinking. The face changed little by little after plastic surgery, and you can still see the shadow of her previous appearance. Every face in that set of photos of her is completely unrelated, how could she have had plastic surgery? 】

[I said the other day that she looks different in real life than in the drama because she used makeup in the drama, why didn’t anyone believe me? 】

[I believed it, but later I was led astray by them. 】

[Gao Shule's face looks like she has never had any cosmetic surgery. How could she have had plastic surgery? 】

[The hot search that day came out of nowhere. Could it be that someone bought it on purpose? 】

[Gao Shule, you are really famous now... I don’t remember what happened afterwards. 】

[You are really famous now. You must pay attention to your words and actions in daily life. Don’t let people think you are a bad girl. Blah blah blah, the rest is too long. 】

Seeing that everyone in the comments believed what she said, Gao Shule laughed for the first time today. She looked at Gao Luo with a gleam in her eyes.

"Okay, now I'm going to do another makeup."

Gao Luo started her second major project.

After Gao Shule came back from removing her makeup, Gao Luo took a thick layer of foundation and smeared it on Gao Shule's face like painting a wall, and then applied various bright-colored oil paints on her face.

The blush was smudged from the eyes along the temples to the temples. The eyeliner was also drawn extremely wildly, black and thick, flying up diagonally. Finally, the lips were painted with red oil paint.

"How is it, handsome or not?"

After Gao Luo finished painting, she moved aside a little to reveal Gao Shule's entire face.

[So handsome!] Seeing this made me very happy. 】

[Oh no, this is a real ancient style young man.] 】

[I also blinked my eyes, how did I change from a beautiful girl to a handsome guy? 】

[Is this opera makeup?] It looks like a live horn, but it's not tied with a leash. 】

"I'm going to perform a show for everyone today, ahem!" Gao Luo cleared her throat pretentiously, and made a orchid finger gesture with her little hand: "Su San left Hongdong County..."

She deliberately lowered her voice and had a serious expression, which made her look funny and cute.

[Baby, do you have to be so funny?] 】

[This word sounds a little familiar. 】

Is this a lyric from a song? 】

[It’s not a song, it’s the Peking Opera “Yu Tang Chun”.] 】

Gao Luo's voice eased Gao Shule's nervousness. When she saw Gao Luo's gesture, she sang: "To visit your beautiful face, I came to Hongdong. Once I abandon the kindness, when will we meet again?"

The voice is loud and sharp, but different from that of a female role, it is more powerful. The pronunciation is clear, the words are round and melodious, the breath is explosive, the singing is as resonant as the sound of gold and jade, and every word is full of emotion.

[It really is “Yu Tang Chun”, this is the lyrics of the male lead Wang Jinlong.] 】

[I'm not an expert, but it sounds pretty much the same to me as what I hear on TV. 】

[You can tell that he hasn't sung for a while, but his pronunciation, articulation, and breathing are still pretty standard. To be honest, Gao Shule must have learned it professionally, and it was not something she learned temporarily. 】

[So they really can sing!] 】

[She is not only beautiful, but also willing to play ugly roles in dramas. She has a normal personality, has skills and is low-key. How can such a good artist be so obscure? 】

[The young artist has no resources. To put it nicely, she is low-key; to put it bluntly, she has no sense of presence. How can she become popular? 】

[With her level, she can indeed go to "Cultural Sail" to promote our traditional culture. Director Wang did not make a random recommendation! 】

[Wang Jing: From now on, my identity is clear!] 】

[I found out that today they were using makeup as an excuse to clarify things! Does anyone understand? 】

[Oh yeah, I just realized it! 】

[Some people said that Xiao Baozi was a hand stand-in, that Gao Shule had plastic surgery, and some even questioned whether she could sing. All of this was explained clearly in a live broadcast. How smart! 】

[So you are not curious at all why Xiao Baozi wears makeup? The makeup range is very wide and the difficulty is also great. She looks only five or six years old. . . 】

From beginning to end today, no one thought it was strange that Gao Luo would wear makeup at her age, until someone brought it up.

The live broadcast room suddenly became quiet, and after a few seconds, the screen was filled with exclamation marks and question marks.
