At 8 o'clock in the evening, the official Muse Weibo first released a clip of Ruan Shu improvising "Butterfly Lovers" at the makeup scene.

In the video, Ruan Shu is wearing a simple and elegant white shirt, with her slightly curly long hair tucked behind her ears. Her back is as straight as a sword drawn from its sheath. The notes flow between her fingers like a group of fluttering butterflies, touching the heartstrings.

[I cried after listening to this. I will always cry for Liang Zhu. Sister, this video is so beautiful! ]

[The hands are so beautiful. I cried and wiped my tears just to see these jade-like hands.]

【It’s so artistic. 】

[The melody of Liang Zhu is so beautiful that even the flowers beside Ruan Shu are reduced to a foil. ]

Then, the official Weibo account released a clip of Shi Xi’s impromptu performance of “Daiyu Burying Flowers” ​​at the makeup scene.

"On weekdays...I feel lonely and worried..."

When you click on the video, you can hear the voice before you see the person. The tune of the opera is delicate and graceful, full of deep affection.

The scene changed, and Shi Xi appeared in the camera. She was wearing a white costume and her modified stage makeup was fresh and elegant. Her eyebrows and eyes appeared clear and lively, and the small crystal hanging on her forehead was the finishing touch.

With just a raise of her hand, she pulls the audience into her world of opera.

After the song, she slowly raised her eyes, a tear slid down her cheek, and the video ended.

[Sister’s acting voice is so amazing! The last tear fell into my heart, sob…]

[I got goose bumps when the operatic singing started! My grandma was beside me when I watched it, and she actually cried! ]

[What a wonderful casting! I love both Ruan Shu's "Butterfly Lovers" and Shi Xi's "Daiyu Burying Flowers"! ]

[Shi Xi can actually perform Yue Opera, that's a big plus. ]

[After watching these two videos, I felt embarrassed for Xu Zilin. Her team is marketing her as the most dazzling actress in the Muse crew.]

[The crew should also release the behind-the-scenes footage of Xu Zilin's makeup, so we can see how dazzling she is. ]

The official blog did release makeup videos of other actors later, but sometimes Xi and Ruan Shu were so good that the other actors could only be considered mediocre. Videos are more intuitive than stills, and Xu Zilin's dynamics are not even as good-looking as the stills.

As a result, the image of "Muse's most dazzling actor" marketed by her team fell apart, and she attracted a lot of boos.

[Even if you use your money, you can't change the public's aesthetic taste. 】

[Is it not good for Xu Zilin to focus on herself? Why does she have to step on her predecessors to promote herself? I don’t know what she was thinking. She actually promoted her beauty image in the crew with Ruan Shu and Shi Xi…]

[Xu Zilin is just a repeat offender. She clearly used her money to get on the trending search list, but her fans shamelessly asked other actors who were not on the trending search list to reflect on themselves.]

[I understand. I will send "Ruan Shu's improvisation of Liang Zhu" and "Shi Xi's improvisation of Daiyu burying flowers" to the hot search. This is my aesthetic! 】

The response to these two videos was very enthusiastic and they were made hot searches by enthusiastic netizens.

Shi Xi reposted the video of Ruan Shu playing Liang Zhu, with the caption: It’s more beautiful live.

Ruan Shu also forwarded Shi Xi’s behind-the-scenes video, with the caption: The scene is even more amazing.

When the two of them collaborated on "Sword Shining in Frost", everyone knew that they had a good relationship. When the micro-film "The House Where There Is Return" was released, Ruan Shu even helped promote it. Now the two of them are working together again, and their interaction is very tacit. Whether it is Shi Xi's fans or Ruan Shu's fans, they can't help but say "fairy friendship".

Lin Wenyi reported the news to Shi Xi: "Now everyone says that the makeup footage of you and Ruan Shu is a god-level scene, full of spirit. Some people have already uploaded it to other platforms. With this exaggerated number of views, it is estimated that it will be popular for a long time. Xu Zilin's marketing this time has failed. It will be a bit awkward when she joins the group."

Shi Xi said: "Her makeup photo shoot time was different from ours. If she had seen Ruan Shu playing Liang Zhu live on the same day, she would definitely not have chosen such a stupid marketing method."

“Your Daiyu Burying Flowers is also amazing!” Lin Wenyi laughed, “Your fans already exceed 14 million. When Phantom and Sword Shining Frost are released, the number will probably double.”

Lin Wenyi gave Shi Xi a few more instructions before reluctantly parting with him.

As soon as she left, Shi Xi received a new task issued by the system.

[New task: Publish a painting related to "Muse" within 48 hours;

Details: Works related to hot topics are more likely to attract attention;

Reward: Artistic talent +10%;

Punishment: Daily painting for one month. 】

It is true that following hot topics can easily attract attention, but this is just me trying to gain my own popularity!

Shi Xi held his forehead with his hand.

Although it's a bit speechless, it's indeed a good idea.

Shi Xi brought a complete set of painting materials. She washed her hands, spread a piece of drawing paper on the desk, and instructed Zhang Qingyu to grind ink.

She took a brush and stared at the drawing paper in front of her. Suddenly, a picture popped up in her mind.

Xie Yubai stood in the center of the stage, snow-like petals fell and stopped on her shoulders, and she waved her sleeves, sad and lonely. It was the last play of her life.

After that, the once popular actress died mysteriously and the murderer fled.

Shi Xi put himself in Jiang Ruxing's identity, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, integrated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and outlined Xie Yubai's figure on paper.

The image of Xie Yubai in Shi Xi's mind is very vivid. She doesn't need to refer to photos or texts. She can sketch out the image of Xie Yubai with just a few strokes.

The system gave Shi Xi 48 hours, and she completed the essay in less than an hour.

Without hesitation, she took a photo and posted the painting to the artist's account: [Jie Yubai, Daiyu Burying Flowers. ]

A hot search tag was added at the end, which looks very embarrassing.

[Congratulations to the player "Shi Xi" for completing the task. You have received a +10% reward for artistic talent. ]

[You already possess 80% of Xiguang's artistic talent. ]

"You painted Xie Yubai in Jiang Ruxing's eyes, not Xie Yubai as you played him," Lin Ying had been standing behind Shi Xi until she finished her work, then she sighed, "This painting is very lonely, and it reminds me of the last play I performed before I died."

"I can draw spiritual energy into the painting. The spiritual energy of this painting is all 'loneliness'," Shi Xi looked at Lin Ying: "Xie Yubai is very similar to you, so you want me to take this movie, right?"

Lin Ying nodded and disappeared quietly.

Shi Xi's eyes fell on the painting and he said softly, "This is also the last play that Xie Yubai will perform."

Xiguang Xiaoyu wrote on the table: "Jie Yubai, good night."

The next morning, Xiguang Xiaoyu looked at Shixi eagerly, waiting for her to log into the Great Painter account to read the comments.

Shi Xi lay on the table, looked at Xiao Yu, and said softly, "The painting yesterday didn't have any magical powers, so maybe not many people will like it. You have to be mentally prepared."

Xiaoyu wrote: "Someone will like it, the painting is very touching!"

[The composition of this painting is very ordinary, the shape is also ordinary, and the brushstrokes are also ordinary, but as I looked at it, I suddenly burst into tears. It turns out that the highest level of expression is to convey emotions. I felt a very empty and deep sense of loneliness.]

[This painting is so spiritual, my eyes become wet as I look at it, I wish I could see this play in person. ]

[Did Xiguang also attract the muse yesterday? Shi Xi, who plays Jie Yubai, is an actor I like very much. I was amazed when I saw her makeup video yesterday. When I saw this picture today, I remembered her tearful eyes again. It was really touching! ]

After reading all the comments, Xiguang wrote on the dining table: "See, I was right, wasn't I? Works that are made with heart are the most moving."

Cute little fish.

Shi Xi touched the little fish's tail: "You are right."

Shi Xi did not have any rehearsals in the afternoon. After finishing her morning scenes, she removed her makeup, put on a mask, and prepared to go back for a nap when she was suddenly stopped by Xiao Xiayan.

"Come and see this when you are young." Xiao Xiayan had a fluffy ponytail today. She looked energetic and more eye-catching than the actors in the crew.

Shi Xi came in front of her and tilted his head: "What are you looking at?"

"Painting." Xiao Xiayan handed the phone screen to her. When she looked closely, her eyes turned red. "This painting is great. It's lonely and sad. It looks like Xie Yubai as drawn by Jiang Ruxing. It's better than the storyboard I drew."

"..." Shi Xi really didn't expect to see his own paintings on Director Xiao's phone. He was silent for a while: "Director Xiao, this artist doesn't have many fans. How did you see her?"

"The screenwriter saw this painting while surfing the Internet and excitedly forwarded it to me. The screenwriter said that this painter was able to draw such a vivid Jie Yubai only by looking at the makeup photos and the behind-the-scenes videos. It's very difficult." Xiao Xiayan pushed her glasses and looked serious: "I really like the paintings of the painter Xi Guang. I want to ask her to create a set of Muse illustrations for future promotions. I wonder if she will accept the manuscript."

Xi Guangda painter.

Shi Xi's ears suddenly turned red.

[New mission: accept the commission from Director Xiao Xiayan;

Details: Create a series of illustrations for "Muse";

Reward: Artistic talent +10%;

Punishment: Daily painting for 100 days. 】

Shi Xi rubbed his ears: "I think she will agree."

Xiao Xiayan nodded: "The painter painted Jie Yubai because of his love for movies. He shouldn't refuse me. I'll ask my assistant to contact the painter."

After returning to the hotel, Shi Xi received a private message from Director Xiao's assistant.

[Hello, painter. I am the assistant of Director Xiao Xiayan. Director Xiao would like you to create three illustrations for the movie "Muse". We will provide text descriptions. If the painter is interested, please quote a price [rose][rose]]

Shi Xi thought to himself, Xiguang’s worth is not low, so what is an appropriate offer?

After thinking for a while, Shi Xi replied: "I only draw ink paintings. Do you only want the right to use the illustrations, or do you want the original paintings?"

After a while, Director Xiao's assistant said, "We just need the right to use it."

Shi Xi: "The price for the right to use is 100,000, but I don't accept the modification suggestions. The copyright and sale of the original painting will have nothing to do with the Muse crew. Is that acceptable?"

Assistant Director Xiao: [Wait a moment.]

[It is acceptable. Can the painter submit the drawings within two weeks? ]

Shi Xi: “Sure.”

Assistant Director Xiao: [Send the electronic contract and requirements to the painter tonight. Happy cooperation [roses][roses]]

Shi Xi: "Happy cooperation [roses][roses]"

Later, the "Muse" crew regretted not buying the original paintings of this set of illustrations, because Xi Guang became a real great painter not long after, and each of his paintings was priced sky-high...but that's a story for later.
