More than a month has passed since the crew started filming "One Hundred Ghosts", and Lu Wenxing is about to wrap up. In addition to filming today, he was also asked by the director to take a lot of stills.
She changed two or three sets of clothes and also made slight changes to her hairstyle and makeup.
No matter what kind of makeup or hairstyle he wears, Lu Wenxing still looks like a young man in the photos.
“This photo of the stars doesn’t need any retouching, it looks like a blockbuster movie.”
"Brother Xu took the photo well."
"I just like stars that can talk."
The makeup photos of every actor in the crew were taken by Brother Xu. Every photo in his hand seemed to be carefully selected. Song Jiajia praised him more than once and half-jokingly asked Brother Xu if he wanted to be her exclusive photographer.
"The stars themselves are beautiful, and with Brother Xu's professional photography skills, the stills are really great."
"We can release the promotional materials after we finish editing them." The director stared at the photos for a while and suddenly said, "Wait for Yan Shen to change his clothes and come out, Xingxing, go shoot a few more sets with him."
Because Gu Yanshen and Lu Wenxing both played Mo Xu, the director wanted a comparison photo with a particularly strong sense of contrast.
The two of them took several shots in a row, but the director was not satisfied. He either said that the shots were not good or that they lacked some feeling.
Lu Wenxing looked at several photos in a row. They looked good, but there was no strong sense of contrast. The Mo Xu he played was an innocent boy, while the Mo Xu played by Gu Yanshen was a big devil who had experienced too many betrayals and finally cultivated the ruthless way.
Turning to the last photo, Lu Wenxing was holding a snow-white rabbit in his arms with a pure smile on his face. Gu Yanshen, who was sitting next to him, was wearing a black robe with blood on his fingers.
One is saving, the other is killing.
But that’s not enough.
Lu Wenxing fell into deep thought, his eyes inadvertently turning to Gu Yanshen. The two looked at each other, and Lu Wenxing suddenly had an idea.
"I have an idea."
Everyone present cast curious glances at Lu Wenxing.
"In the novel, Mo Xu wanted to kill his younger self, even though it was just an illusion. But for him, the reappearance of his younger self before his eyes was a kind of irony of the past, a satire on his poor judgment of people, a satire on his excessive naivety. In short, it was a past he didn't want to recall."
The director nodded. It was undeniable that Lu Wenxing's interpretation of the original work was quite in-depth.
"After Mo Xu fell into the illusion, he used the boy's kindness to get treated, but while recuperating in the Windless Valley, he had the urge to kill the boy several times."
Le Hanfei said: "Yes, I was reading a novel at the time and thought that killing myself was quite exciting."
"But in the end, Mo Xu didn't do anything."
The main plot of "One Hundred Ghosts" is not the opposition between good and evil, it can be regarded as Mo Xu's revenge note. At the end of the story, Mo Xu succeeded in his revenge, but unlike what he imagined, he did not have the pleasure of revenge.
He had been training hard for revenge all his life, but after his revenge succeeded, all that was left was emptiness. He then realized that his life had become meaningless since he left the Windless Valley.
"Mo Xu actually envied himself for being treated gently by his master and fellow apprentices in Windless Valley. He probably hoped that the darkness he had experienced was just a nightmare, and that after waking up, he would still be that innocent young boy and could see his master and fellow apprentices every day."
"Since Director Wang wants a contrast, why not... let me swap makeup and hair with Teacher Gu. In post-production, we can make a mirror image, with Teacher Gu outside the mirror and me inside."
“There’s a picture!”
"Me too! It's so exciting just thinking about it. I'm looking forward to Teacher Gu's youth costume, and I'm also looking forward to Xingxing's demon costume."
Director Wang did not object. "We can give it a try. Today we will focus on stills. If we are quick, we can release the promotional materials tomorrow."
"If the stars and I were to switch places, the contrast would indeed be stronger."
Lu Wenxing and Gu Yanshen changed their costumes and put on their gear again, and the props team also rearranged the shooting scene.
It takes a lot of time to put on makeup again. On the other side, Song Jiajia and other artists were filming other scenes. When Gu Yanshen walked to the set, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Ah!! Brother Gu's blue clothes are so amazing, I'm dead!"
Gu Yanshen wore the clothes that Mo Xu often wore in Windless Valley. His hair was tied up high with a blue hairband. The makeup artist repainted his eyes, making the corners of his eyes raised. He looked like a proud young man.
His eyes looked at everyone nonchalantly. He was no longer a cold-blooded devil, but a clean and pure young man.
"I love contrasts. Oh my god! Teacher Gu looks so handsome in boy's outfit."
—Pedestrians gathered around Gu Yanshen, discussing his new outfit. The director couldn't help but smile. Regardless of how the photos would turn out, he could still take a set of solo photos with his current outfit.
Lu Wenxing came out after Gu Yanshen finished taking the photos. He was wearing a dark red robe, and his long hair, which was originally tied up, was re-styled and draped over his waist. The hair on the sides was highlighted in burgundy, and he had some red eyeshadow on the corners of his eyes.
Her face was fair, her light-colored eyes had turned into dark red ones, her makeup elongated the ends of her eyes, and her fingers were stained blood red.
"!!!"
The people present were so shocked that they were speechless. Until Lu Wenxing walked up to them, Director Wang pulled him aside and praised him repeatedly, "It's time to pay the makeup artist!"
"Really? I heard it!" The makeup artist's eyes lit up. "Everyone heard it. Director Wang, you are not allowed to regret it!"
Director Wang smiled from ear to ear, "Quick, quick, you and Yan Shen stand together and show me the effect."
Lu Wenxing walked over and stood next to Gu Yanshen, and an obvious contrast emerged.
Gu Yanshen's eyes did not fall on any one place, and he showed the young Mo Xu's usual pride to the fullest. Even Lu Wenxing could not help but marvel at it. No wonder Director Wang had thought of letting Gu Yanshen play two roles.
There is no sense of disobedience.
Dressed as a young man, Gu Yanshen becomes the high-spirited young man Mo Xu.
"Xingxing, do you want to try this headband?"
The cameraman Xiao Xu took a narrow white hairband from the props group and said, "Put some of the blood on your hands. Pull the hairband with both hands and look a little blurry."
Lu Wenxing: ???
What does it mean to have a blurry look?
The cameraman had already stuffed the hairband into Lu Wenxing's hands. "You two can express yourself freely. It should feel like looking at a mirror. Wenxing is the person in the mirror, and Teacher Gu is the one outside the mirror."
The photographer readjusted the lens and said, "You two can get closer."
"Teacher Gu."
Lu Wenxing picked up the hairband in his hand. The end he was holding was stained with blood red, while the other end was still pure white. "You hold the other end?"
Gu Yanshen and Lu Wenxing looked at each other and instantly understood what Lu Wenxing meant. They pulled up the undyed end and stood face to face, feeling a sense of being pulled.
In the camera, Lu Wenxing half-closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly - a faint smile. Gu Yanshen frowned slightly, his eyes were sharp, and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was arguing with the person in the mirror.
The onlookers took a deep breath and held their breath unconsciously for some reason.
——Click.
The shutter sounded and the photo froze. The people present came to their senses and came forward to see the photo.
"Wait, take a few more pictures."
After the photos were taken, they were all transferred to the computer. A group of people gathered around the computer, urging the director to open it quickly.
The scene of taking the photo appeared on the screen.
"ah!!"
"It feels so good! The star's eyes are killing me. I really like this kind of murderer setting."
"Okay, okay, this one is okay." The director said yes three times in a row, "Let the post-production team retouch the photo. The frame between Xingxing and Yan Shen doesn't have to be square. It can be tilted a little to show the sense of separation."
The next day, the official website of "Hundred Ghosts" posted a video of Lu Wenxing wielding a sword flower.
Within a few minutes, the comment section was filled with tens of thousands of comments.
[So cool!!! I thought Xing Xing's Street Dance was cool enough, but I didn't expect Wan Jian Hua to be even more awesome! ] [Isn't it just Wan Jian Hua? What's so great about it? I've only watched it a few hundred times. ] [So cool! So cool! So cool! ]
[Collected, a short video before bedtime. 】
[To be honest, Lu Wenxing's ancient style look is so amazing! ]
[I don't know how Lu Wenxing is filming, but this sword-wielding scene does look interesting. 】【I want to see my brother Shen]
[Where is my goddess? Where is my goddess? ]
Just as netizens were leaving comments crazily on this video, the official website of "One Hundred Ghosts" updated another set of stills.
It was the comparison photo that Lu Wenxing and Gu Yanshen took yesterday. Netizens had just crawled out of the previous Weibo post and fell heavily into the latest one.
[After five years of being a fan of Brother Shen, Brother Shen is still a teenager!!]
[Brother Shen is so handsome! awsl]
My star?
[Fuck, I love Xingxing's outfit so much, it makes her look like a gentlemanly villain][Same as above, I have the same feeling!!! Abstinence with a hint of astringency][Sorry, I'll just do it this time]
[A decent young boy top x a villainous demon bottom? ]
Ding Yao stared at the photo with shining eyes, the rotten girl soul in her body was burning fiercely. She resisted the urge to scream and pulled her colleague beside her, "Look! This set of photos is too good! Gu Yanshen and Lu Wenxing are so sexy."
A colleague glanced at Ding Yao's computer screen and couldn't help but exclaim, "This photo is so well taken. I'm already looking forward to the movie."
"Right! My Xingxing will definitely get better and better in the future."
"You like stars too?"
Originally, it was just Ding Yao chatting with the colleagues around him, and several colleagues nearby who heard the discussion couldn't help but come over.
"To be honest, the last time I chased stars was in junior high school. Now I just want to throw myself into the arms of stars."
"I hope Xingxing can produce more works in the future. I don't even know where to follow him because there are so few photos of him."
"By the way, there is no agency listed on Xingxing's Weibo. Where did he go after he terminated his contract with Mango Entertainment?"
"Did you forget to hang up? That shouldn't be the case. If you sign the contract normally, you will hang up immediately."
"You haven't signed with a new company yet, right?"
"His career is getting better and better now. There should be many entertainment companies looking for him."
"Maybe not..."
"there is nothing?"
The colleague who was talking suddenly stopped talking. The others were confused and asked, "Come on, tell me. Why are you talking halfway?"
"Shh, go back to your seat, Mr. Wen is here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Zheng appeared in front of them in a suit.
"Mr. Wen, good morning."
The colleagues laughed awkwardly and returned to their seats. The assistant came over from his workstation and asked, "Boss Wen, would you like some coffee?"
"Um."
Wen Zheng responded softly without saying anything else. The others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him leave.
The female assistant came to Wen Zheng's office, put down her coffee and was about to leave. Wen Zheng, who was looking down at the documents, suddenly spoke.
"Let Xiao Chen check which entertainment company Xialu Wenxing signed with."
The author has something to say: Wen Zheng: The first step to recognize a younger brother is to sign him to your company. Day 6 failed, kneel down gently qwq
