Chapter 391: Glowing White
As she spoke, the young woman reached out and touched Ye Wanxi's face, looking as if she wanted more.
Ye Wanxi: "???" Was she just teased? The ladies in your crew are all acting strangely!
Having previously filmed a TV series, Ye Wanxi was quite familiar with the crew's schedule.
After finishing her makeup, she took her costume and went into the van to change, which surprised Director Jiao.
He had assumed that with Ye Wanxi's current popularity and powerful backing, she would have several assistants accompanying her, responsible for carrying her bags, holding umbrellas, and serving tea and water.
This is also the main reason why Director Jiao didn't like to use popular celebrities before, because their travels were like those of an emperor, with a huge entourage and a grand procession.
When it came to Ye Wanxi, not only did she not have an assistant, but even her manager didn't come. She was like a helpless little cabbage, having to do everything herself.
Could it be that this child has offended someone and is being deliberately harassed? Or is it that her agency or agent dislikes her and is deliberately abandoning her?
Director Jiao really wronged Gao Min and Ye Wanxi's agency.
The agency had mentioned the assistant to her before, but Ye Wanxi refused. Given her inconsistent work ethic, Gao Min could handle it all by herself, and hiring an assistant would just be a waste of resources.
As for Gao Min, she originally wanted to come with Ye Wanxi, but unfortunately, her younger brother suddenly said he wanted to come today.
Gao Min and her younger brother had a fairly good relationship. Since he rarely came to visit, she couldn't just ignore him and not even answer his calls. That's why Ye Wanxi came to the film set by herself on the first day of filming.
When Ye Wanxi changed her clothes and got out of the car, Yun Youna and Zhang Yitao had just finished filming their first scene after the start of filming.
Many people were stunned when they saw Ye Wanxi walking over from afar.
As the most controversial madam in the brothel, the proprietress naturally dressed like the brothel girls, with a touch of sexiness.
The round fan, adorned with exquisite flowers and birds, obscured most of her face, leaving only her eyes, brimming with the shimmering beauty of spring water, visible.
As she walked slowly towards us, the tassels on her head swayed and trembled with each step, reminding one of the original description of the proprietress: alluring yet refined, with a captivating charm.
When Yun Youna saw this, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over to pull Ye Wanxi up and down for a thorough examination.
"Absolutely amazing! Wanxi, you look like a completely different person after dressing up. I almost didn't recognize you."
Yun Youna stared at her, clicking her tongue in admiration, while simultaneously touching her own face and sobbing, "Oh no, oh no! Next to you, I feel like a kitchen maid, dark-skinned, ugly, and vulgar. It's like heaven and earth, a stark contrast. Waaah, how can anyone live like this?"
"It's not that exaggerated." Ye Wanxi tapped her with her fan.
Yun Yuna paused, raised her hand to smell herself, and felt even more desperate.
Oh no, even a fairy's fan emits a fragrance, unlike this tomboy who, after all that effort, only smells of sweat. I can't compare!
"She wasn't exaggerating at all." Zhang Yitao stood a short distance away with one hand on his hip and mischievously reminded her, "Girl, look at her hands, you'll feel even more inferior."
Yun Yuna froze, and subconsciously looked at Ye Wanxi's hand.
Because of the character's design, the makeup artist gave Ye Wanxi heavy makeup, and even made the base of the makeup darker.
However, the young lady remembered to apply makeup to Ye Wanxi's neck to match her skin tone, but forgot to apply powder to her hands as well.
This made Ye Wanxi's hands and face completely different shades.
Yun Yuna held Ye Wanxi's hand that wasn't holding the fan, tears of envy almost streaming from the corner of her mouth.
When Director Jiao walked over, he saw her pathetic state and was both annoyed and amused: "Alright, alright, stop envying Xiao Ye. I'll have Xiao Liu go and buy a few more pounds of foundation later, and I'll put it all over your body. You'll be as white as you want, and I guarantee no one will be whiter than you."
"No, no!" Yun Yuna shuddered as soon as she imagined herself with a big white face. She resisted, saying, "How can the whiteness from powder be the same as my natural whiteness? Don't think I don't know what Director Jiao is up to. Don't even think about making me look like a ghost. I'm not falling for it."
"Hey, you little rascal." Director Jiao pretended to be angry, but when he saw Ye Wanxi's outfit, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Regardless of her acting skills, at least her appearance is acceptable. Especially when Ye Wanxi walked over just now, the way she fanned her face with a round fan and raised her eyes with a smile was so charming and captivating that it immediately caught everyone's attention.
Director Jiao has no doubt that if Ye Wanxi can still portray this expression when she appears in the drama, it will definitely be a trending topic on the day it airs.
"Your posture is quite good. Have you studied it?"
"Yes, I've watched some videos and tried to learn them."
Actually, once before, her fifth senior brother saw that she was too bored, so he secretly took her down the mountain for a stroll. He even mischievously tricked her into dressing up as a man and taking her to a brothel, claiming that he was showing her the world.
When she returned, her fifth senior brother specifically instructed her not to tell anyone about it.
Unfortunately, the news eventually reached the ears of several of his senior brothers, and the fifth senior brother was beaten up by them and spent several months in bed in misery.
Even after he was able to get out of bed, he had to stay still for about half a year, limping and using crutches.
"You did a great job walking those steps just now," Director Jiao affirmed her performance, then added, "Your makeup is also very good, it matches the description in the book perfectly. Who did your makeup? Have her do your makeup from now on."
Ye Wanxi didn't hide anything: "It's Sister Yao."
"Xiao Yao?" Director Jiao paused for a moment, then confirmed, "It's the tall, thin one in the purple clothes."
"Um."
Director Jiao stared at Ye Wanxi with a complicated expression. No one knew better than him how difficult it was to invite Xiao Yao.
When Director Jiao invited her and her makeup team to join the production, he offered them many perks.
Even so, they still agreed that she would only be responsible for the makeup and styling of the male and female leads, and would only provide guidance on the rest, without actually doing it herself.
As a result, on the very first day, she made an exception for the person in front of her?
Ye Wanxi noticed that Director Jiao was looking at her strangely, so she frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Director Jiao suppressed his surprise and doubt. "Let's go take the costume photos first."
"Um."
Ye Wanxi had taken costume fitting photos before when she filmed "Dao Lian", so she was quite experienced and finished the shoot in no time.
When she came out, she found a burly man outside. The man seemed to be talking to Director Jiao. When he turned around and saw her, his eyes lit up. He left Director Jiao and walked towards her.
