Chapter 868 Dress Change
Ye Wanxi stepped forward and touched the two sets of clothes. The fabric was soft and silky, and it was indeed of excellent quality.
Thinking back to what Old Wang had said, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did the First Madam send it?"
"Yes."
“Besides us, there are people from other courtyards as well.”
"Yes, we have both."
"Understood. Please thank Madam for me. Serve the meal first, and we can change it after we finish eating."
The girls following behind Lao Wang were clearly there to help them change their makeup and get dressed.
Feng Tianyu is alright; at most, I'll just apply some hair wax to him, and it won't take long.
She was different. If she really wanted to dress up like a wealthy lady from that era, it would take at least an hour or two, and she didn't want to do that on an empty stomach.
Feng Tianyu naturally had no objection to this. The two of them enjoyed the best meal they had had since the start of filming the show before finally starting to change clothes and put on makeup.
Just as Ye Wanxi had imagined, Feng Tianyu changed his clothes and got a simple hairstyle, instantly transforming from a modern domineering CEO into a noble young master from the previous world.
This was much more troublesome for her. She had to get a wig and an updo, and after finally getting her hair done, she still had to match it with clothes and choose jewelry. It took her about two hours to finish.
The production team was worried that viewers would find this boring and think they were just padding the runtime.
Unexpectedly, their actions caused the number of viewers in the live stream to not decrease but increase rapidly.
I heard there's a professional makeup team here offering online makeup services, so I came to learn from them.
[Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen a variety show that includes the entire makeup process, and it's also the first time I've seen celebrities actually dare to film their makeup session without makeup. Just for this reason alone, I'm watching this show.]
[OMG! I always thought Xiaoyezi's good skin was because she wore makeup, but after seeing her without makeup today, I realized her skin is amazing! There's not much difference between her bare face and when she's wearing makeup. I'm so envious!]
[Adding to the comment above. Someone like me, whose makeup is so dramatic it's like a completely different person, sometimes even my husband doesn't recognize me, is so envious of these celebrities' skin.]
Don't be envious. Their good skin is because they have the money to take care of it. We poor people who can't even afford decent cosmetics can only admire from afar.
[Hilarious! Stop being sarcastic upstairs and go check out that idol on the other side of the screen. Not all celebrities have great skin just because they have money to maintain it. Xiao Yezi and CEO Feng are just naturally blessed; they're practically born with perfect skin. You can't be envious.]
While Ye Wanxi was getting her makeup done, Lian Lifan and the others were also getting their makeup done at the same time. Gu Shaoling and the others were alright, although they didn't look as good without makeup, but they had good facial features and their skin was also pretty good.
Lian Lifan is different. He can be an idol, so his facial features must be perfect, but he has a fatal flaw.
He's dark-skinned, very dark-skinned. If you're going for a tough guy image, then his skin color isn't a problem.
Unfortunately, he follows the route of a popular idol, relying entirely on his looks to attract fans. Even if his features are good, his hunched face is enough to shatter the fantasies of eight or nine out of ten female fans.
Therefore, I usually have to wear makeup when I go out, and I have to apply a layer of whitening makeup all over my body, even between my fingers.
After he changed his clothes, the production team wanted to redo his makeup, but he refused on the spot with a very strong reaction.
His reaction, like that of a frightened bird, was instantly captured by many viewers and haters in his live stream and turned into memes, which have now spread across the entire internet.
Ye Wanxi, who was focused on dressing up at the time, had no idea that she had unintentionally put down Lian Lifan just by putting on makeup.
The makeup, which took two hours to complete, was still stunning. The updo made with a wig didn't look cumbersome at all; instead, it gave off a sense of solemnity.
The hairpins inserted into her hair bun looked quite exquisite and genuine, unlike the plastic ones you might buy casually from a roadside stall.
The clothes prepared for the girls by the production team were not cheongsams, but pleated skirts that were somewhat similar to ancient costumes, embroidered with various flowers and birds. The colors were rich but did not feel complicated or tacky.
Paired with jade earrings in the same color family and a green beaded hairpin, the outfit complements each other perfectly.
As soon as Ye Wanxi stood up and walked to Feng Tianyu, standing face to face with him, the live stream chat exploded.
Isn't this a hundred times better than those period dramas where characters have disheveled hair, wear mourning clothes and white veils every day, and have H-style semi-permanent makeup and thick, flat H-style eyebrows?
It's ironic that even the costumes and props in variety shows' short skits can now completely outshine those in serious TV dramas.
I almost cried while watching this variety show. The makeup and clothes were absolutely gorgeous! They had that elegant, luxurious beauty from old movies and TV dramas, making you immediately tell they were genuine ladies and gentlemen from wealthy families, not poor bastards trying to act rich.
[As everyone knows, in the past, ladies of wealthy families would often bestow their finest jewelry as gifts when they were in high spirits. Nowadays, in TV dramas, you might not even see a ribbon besides hair. It makes me worry that they might pluck out their own hair in a moment of joy.]
[It turns out there are still many amazing makeup artists and stylists in China, so why do TV dramas look so awful?]
[Are any directors watching this live stream? Look at this stunning couple! A handsome, wealthy tycoon x a gentle, virtuous heiress—isn't that amazing?]
This was the first time Ye Wanxi had dressed like this, and she wasn't quite used to it. She walked up to Feng Tianyu, turned around, and asked in a low voice, "Does it look good?"
"Beautiful." Feng Tianyu's eyes flickered as he looked at the blue skirt that was slightly unfurled as Ye Wanxi turned, and he offered his hand.
"Let's go take a look next door."
Ye Wanxi was also interested in the antiques next door, so she immediately stepped forward, took Feng Tianyu's hand with great enthusiasm, and went to visit the neighbors.
When the two arrived, Gu Shaoling and her companion had just finished their work. Unlike Ye Wanxi and her companion, they changed their clothes before eating.
When Ye Wanxi and her companion arrived, they had just finished eating and were wandering around the house looking for clues. Their eyes lit up when they saw the two of them coming over.
"You've arrived, Wanxi. You look so beautiful dressed like that."
You look good like this too.
Ye Wanxi's words were not a compliment. The clothes that the crew prepared for Gu Shaoling were similar to hers, only the colors and embroidery patterns were different.
Compared to their clothes, the hairstyles are the most noticeable difference.
Perhaps it's because Gu Shaoling is the first wife, and judging from the clues, the first wife should be the head of the household.
As the mistress of the household, Gu Shaoling's hairstyle was slightly more complicated than Ye Wanxi's, and her makeup was also more mature, making her look several years older than Ye Wanxi.
Gu Shaoling felt a little embarrassed after hearing what she said; she actually quite liked her outfit.
"Why are you here at this time? Have you found any clues?"
