Chapter 586: Beautiful and Heavy Makeup
Ye Wanxi had barely finished speaking when she was interrupted by two beaming Yao Jie: "I'm free! I'm free anytime. Do you have any other work after you finish taking photos?"
"No."
"Then I'll stay and wait for you. After you finish filming, I'll hitch a ride to your place to pick it up, is that convenient?" After saying that, Sister Yao looked at Ye Wanxi expectantly, afraid of being rejected.
Such a valuable item is not something Sister Yao would trust to be handed over to; it's best to go and get it herself.
Moreover, to prevent any unforeseen complications, the shorter the pickup time, the better.
Ye Wanxi saw the urgency in Yao Jie's pleading eyes, her lips twitched slightly, and she compromised, "...It's convenient."
"Then it's settled!" Sister Yao made the decision on the spot.
Having resolved her biggest worry of the past few months, Sister Yao became even more enthusiastic and energetic in her work.
An hour later, Ye Wanxi's makeup was finally finished.
The moment she looked up, she stunned Xiao Yan and Gao Min, who had been called in. The main makeup look they chose for Ye Wanxi in "Caiwei" was a classic queen-like heavy makeup.
With her meticulously curled eyelashes and fiery red lips, Ye Wanxi resembled a thorny rose, alluring, passionate, and charming.
They don't need to deliberately flaunt their charm; just one glance is enough to captivate and drive people crazy.
"Oh my god, Wanxi..."
Ye Wanxi was carefully examining her makeup in the mirror when Gao Min's sudden shout startled her. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"
"No, no, no, it looks amazing, it's so beautiful!" Gao Min's eyes shone brightly as she stared at Ye Wanxi and exclaimed in admiration, "How come I never noticed how good you are at heavy makeup before? Sigh, I feel like I missed out on a fortune."
"Is it really necessary to go to such extremes?" Ye Wanxi chuckled. "Didn't you also wear heavy makeup when you played a character in a martial arts drama before?"
"That's different. The heavy makeup in period dramas, while it may look alluring, can sometimes appear dull when paired with lighting."
In addition, the character of the proprietress played by Ye Wanxi has a certain character design issue, and the heavy makeup in the early stages must give her a somewhat worldly air.
There were some changes later on, but the makeup also became lighter.
Overall, it doesn't have the same impact as modern heavy makeup.
Gao Min thought about it for a while, but couldn't resist. She took out her phone and took several photos of Ye Wanxi looking at her, and even used one of them as her phone's screen saver.
Xiao Yan followed behind Gao Min, equally amazed by Ye Wanxi's attire, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him.
"It's getting late, let's go change our clothes."
If she remembered correctly, the clothes the company had prepared for the person in front of her this time were all brightly colored, and with that face, she knew how good-looking they would be.
As for the photos, well, more professional people will take them later.
She's the special assistant in charge of the final compilation and submission, so she's probably worried about not being able to get a few nice pictures to use as wallpapers.
Ye Wanxi was unaware of what Xiao Yan was thinking. Upon hearing her words, she immediately got up and went out with her to change clothes.
Unbeknownst to her, the moment she stepped out of the dressing room, Sister Yao pulled out her phone and posted an exciting, bombshell message in a private group chat.
Yao Yao Bu Yao: My darling sister is back! The medicine mud is sorted out. She's currently shooting a magazine cover photoshoot, and I'm waiting for her to finish get off work so we can go to her house to pick it up. Anyone who wants it can meet me at my house tonight.
Meng Yimeng: Oh my god, the missing person has returned! Did she really come back? Wasn't she said to be trapped in the epidemic area and unable to return?
Jiangshui's Jiang: Lao Meng, your news is really late. He came back a couple of days ago, and he even made it to the trending searches because of his live stream!
Arrogant Zhang: Yeah, yeah, I even went to send her gifts during the live stream, but it seems she didn't see them. [crying.jpg]
Meng Yimeng: Damn it, Zhang Xiaoji, you didn't tell me about something so important, and you even went to smash the gifts by yourself! Tell me, were you trying to secretly seduce her and buy her the medicine mud?
Arrogant Zhang: It wasn't me, I didn't do it, don't frame me! [Playing dead.jpg]
Jiangshui de Jiang: Alright, alright, now's not the time to dwell on this. Old Yao, you just said you'd pick up the medicinal mud from her house after she gets off work. How many boxes are there? Can I pre-order? I want ten boxes.
Arrogant Zhang: I want ten boxes too.
Meng Yimeng: Damn it, you guys have no sportsmanship, then I want ten boxes too.
Sister Yao looked at the messages popping up in the group chat, and then at the people's shameless and outrageous demands, and she was so angry that she laughed on the spot.
Yao Yao Bu Yao: Get lost! You're all dreaming! Nobody even placed an order for ten boxes! Don't you know these are handcrafted items, priceless and unavailable? I practically begged for a few boxes; and you're asking for ten right off the bat? You don't understand the hardships of life! Orders rejected. I'll distribute them tonight. Limited stock, first come, first served. Over!
After dropping this bombshell, Sister Yao fell silent, leaving the girls in the group in an uproar. They hummed a little tune and chased after Ye Wanxi, ready to keep a close eye on her and not give her any chance to back out.
When Ye Wanxi came out of the dressing room in her bright red dress, she bumped into Su Maochuan, who was rushing over.
This well-known photographer is in his early forties. He has a simple buzz cut and wears comfortable casual clothes, but he doesn't look sloppy at all. He exudes a vibrant energy.
The moment this person saw Ye Wanxi, their eyes lit up. They looked Ye Wanxi up and down, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Not bad, the clothes and makeup suit you very well. It just so happens that the theme of this issue of our magazine is fire. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to pull off such heavy makeup when I saw your profile picture, but I was wrong."
"It's the makeup artist's skill that turned something rotten into something magical."
Upon hearing her words, Su Maochuan retorted without any politeness, "If your face is rotten, then all the people I've photographed before are just pieces of wood."
Ye Wanxi was stunned, finally understanding what Sister Yao meant by "quirk".
Strictly speaking, this isn't a quirk; it's just that I speak too bluntly and without mercy, which easily offends people.
However, some people act without restraint precisely because their strength allows it.
The person in front of me was clearly one of them.
After finalizing the makeup and costumes, Su Maochuan hurriedly ordered his men to set up the pre-prepared props so they could start filming immediately.
As he said, the theme of the journal "Caiwei" is fire.
In traditional thinking, fire signifies bright red, intense heat, and burning.
Therefore, the set design and props prepared by the props team were mainly in bright red.
When it comes to bright red, people usually think of red roses.
With the added element of beautiful women and fresh flowers, the appearance of red roses becomes perfectly natural.
Although they couldn't film outdoors this time due to venue limitations.
However, in order to create the atmosphere, the magazine insisted on having thousands of roses brought in as props, making it a fiery red sight from afar, which amazed Ye Wanxi and the others.
