Du Yibai changed into the clothes she brought with her, a white performance costume with Hanfu elements, a long skirt that dragged on the ground, and sleeves that reached the ground and could flutter in the air with the dancer's movements.
The clothes themselves are beautiful, if they can match Du Yibai's previous exquisite makeup.
Du Yibai's natural appearance is not outstanding. Her eyebrows are very light, and she looks listless without makeup.
Recently, she has been too excited, getting irritated and not getting enough sleep, so she has dark circles under her eyes and acne-like pigmentation on her chin.
The pure white clothes are matched with Du Yi's plain and slightly flawed face.
The performance costume should have been fairy-like, but on her, it didn't bring out the slightest fairy-like feeling.
Du Yibai looked at himself in the mirror and felt disgusted no matter how he looked at himself.
She can skip the sunscreen, but can't she use some concealer?
While no one was noticing her backstage, Du Yibai secretly squeezed some concealer and applied it on her acne marks and dark circles, evening out her skin tone and making her face look a little more presentable.
She originally wanted to draw her eyebrows, but it was just a thought. She didn't dare to actually draw them, for fear that Zhou Xiao would notice.
Du Yibai's concealer wasn't noticeable, so no one noticed throughout the entire journey. When they reached the beach where the photoshoot was taking place, Zhou Xiao simply glanced at her and casually asked, "Have you removed all your makeup?"
"I've taken it off." Du Yibai's face still showed a bit of depression after being forced to take off his makeup.
Zhou Xiao didn't think much about it, nor did he go forward to check it out in person, because the difference between Du Yibai's appearance before and after makeup was quite big, and it could be seen at a glance.
Moreover, in her eyes, Li Duyibai was just a little girl who should not have the courage to act in front of her.
"Now that you've unloaded, go get ready. I'm going to film you."
As soon as Du Yibai arrived, she started looking for her "good friend" in the crowd. No matter whether Mingfu liked her or not, she still had to act like a good friend.
But as soon as she saw Ming Fu at the scene, the gloom of being forced to go without makeup disappeared, and she even felt a little happy.
Although she was wearing no makeup, Ming Fu was also wearing no makeup. Not only was Ming Fu wearing no makeup, she was also wearing a body-slimming jellyfish suit in blue and black colors.
At least she has a nice set of clothes to improve her appearance, but Mingfu's jellyfish suit is really ugly, the kind that will look ugly on anyone.
Du Yibai walked over with a big smile on her face and praised Ming Fu as soon as she saw him.
"Mingfu, this suit really suits you."
Ming Fu was wearing a pair of big surfing sunglasses. He glanced at Du Yibai's outfit from under the sunglasses, and his little face looked very cold.
"This suit doesn't look very suitable for you."
Du Yibai saw Mingfu's expression and thought she was jealous of her outfit, and her mood became better.
She even spread out her hands and turned around in front of Ming Fu, showing her clothes in all directions. The clothes on her body also fluttered lightly in the air with her movements.
After spinning around, she tilted her head and playfully asked, "Don't I look good like this?"
Mingfu was not at all disturbed by her showing off.
"What's the point of looking good or not when you get wet? You won't even be able to lift your sleeves."
Du Yibai was stunned. She only cared about the appearance of the clothes when choosing them, and she really didn't consider the issue of sea water.
But if you think about it carefully, it's just water, what big of a problem can it be? Besides, there is precedent for this.
Du Yibai raised his chin proudly. "I've been dancing for ten years. How could I not be able to swing my sleeves when they got wet? I went to see a dance drama last year. People were dancing under a water curtain, and the water droplets from their sleeves were so beautiful."
Moreover, the director of "Wandering Holiday" has always been very good at shooting scenery and humanities. If he had filmed the water droplets she threw out, the effect would definitely be better than that of the dancers in a ballet.
Ming Fu stared at Du Yibai's feet, the long skirt that reached the ground, and spoke softly.
"Then you better watch your step." Don't trip over your skirt.
It was a pity that Mingfu was wearing sunglasses, so Du Yibai couldn't see her gaze and thought she was being sarcastic.
Du Yibai also smiled.
"You too, the wind and waves are a bit strong today, you must be careful."
Du Yibai exchanged a few pleasantries with Ming Fu, doing her best to look like a "good friend", and then went to find Lao Huang again.
She had something important to discuss with Lao Huang.
After talking with Ming Fu, she was reminded that if she wanted to shoot a blockbuster effect underwater, the director's work could not be sloppy.
Although Zhou Xiao is the episode director, Du Yibai is not familiar with Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao looks very strict and unsympathetic.
In addition, it was obvious that Zhou Xiao liked Ming Fu more and was subjectively repulsive and unwelcome to her arrival. If she went directly to Zhou Xiao, she might not be able to do Zhou Xiao's job.
So she went to Lao Huang again.
After hearing her request, Old Huang frowned and thought she was too nosy.
"This isn't the first day our team has been shooting. We know how to shoot and can focus on our own tasks. You don't need to worry about anything."
In such hot weather, asking him, at his age, to go to the scene to monitor and direct the dispatch, isn't that asking for his life?
He enjoys the air conditioning in the B&B, watches TV and takes a nap, and then gets the high temperature allowance for business trips when he returns to the station.
Only a fool would go to the scene.
Du Yibai cursed in his heart that this old man was good-for-nothing and took the money but didn't do his job.
He then squatted down and flattered Old Huang with a smile on his face: "Hey, Director Huang, their filming is nowhere near as good as yours. Otherwise, my uncle wouldn't have asked you to take care of me. It's because of your great reputation that ordinary people like us know you. Just give them some casual guidance and let them learn from you. The result will definitely be the best this season."
Old Huang lay in the rocking chair, rocking back and forth, grunting without saying anything.
Although Du Yibai's flattery touched Lao Huang's heart, Lao Huang was still unwilling to move, especially after seeing the scorching sun outside.
No matter how good the filming is, the station will not give him a promotion or a raise.
Old Huang would never do something that is thankless and requires a lot of effort.
Old Huang closed his eyes, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and swayed his head to the beat of the opera on TV.
Just don't respond to Du Yibai's question.
Du Yibai was so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave, but when she thought about the money she had spent on Lao Huang, she had no choice but to endure it.
Continuing to persuade him gently and kindly, "With your participation in this episode, how can the quality of this episode be mediocre? Wouldn't that ruin your reputation?"
Old Huang did not comment on this. Zhou Xiao is a rising star in the station and her works have won numerous awards. It is impossible for her works to be of mediocre quality.
Even Old Huang recognized Zhou Xiao's ability.
Unexpectedly, Du Yibai's next words successfully attracted Lao Huang's attention.
"Director Huang, think about it. I know you want to train young people and let them shoot on their own. If the results are good, they will definitely say it's their own credit and has nothing to do with you. But if the results are not good, they will blame you, the senior, for not guiding them well. The leaders above will also think that you have failed to supervise them."
When Old Huang heard this, he opened his eyes and sat up immediately.
What this girl said makes sense.
Old Huang had tried to force his way into the team just to cause trouble for Zhou Xiao under the pretext of guidance and supervision.
But Du Yibai's words reminded Lao Huang that he could guide Zhou Xiao throughout the filming. By then, everyone in the group would know that Zhou Xiao's film was shot under his guidance. He could use this opportunity to take credit from his superiors and put his name at the front of the staff list.
Old Butter was used to it and quickly calculated the benefits he could get.
This sun is worth it!
Old Huang nodded thoughtfully. "You have a point. While we should give young people the freedom to do things, this freedom should be limited. It's like flying a kite. You can't let out all the string. You have to pull it back from time to time, and your subordinates should also be kept under control."
Old Huang picked up his sunglasses and sun hat and slowly stood up.
"Let's go and see how their work is going."
Zhou Xiao was very busy at the shooting site. He finally managed to set up the scene and was about to start shooting.
When I turned around, I saw the unlucky Old Huang.
Old Huang was wearing a casual vacation outfit of short-sleeved shirt and shorts bought at the night market, with sunglasses on his nose and a sun hat on his head.
He walked out leisurely, holding a large teacup under his arm and waving a large folding fan in his other hand.
It looked like he was here either for vacation or as a leader inspecting the work.
Following behind was a Du Yibai.
Zhou Xiao understood what was going on at a glance. It turned out that she was the one who invited Old Zhou, the plague god.
She finally hinted to Lao Huang that the temperature outside was high and working in high temperatures was hard, so she got Lao Huang to agree to stay in the B&B so that he wouldn't give blind orders on the spot.
Du Yibai was good, and when he wasn't paying attention, he secretly invited out the plague god Lao Huang.
Zhou Xiao asked with a smile, "Director Huang, why don't you just stay in your room? If you have anything, just give him a call. Why did you come out in person?"
Zhou Xiao shouted back, "Tian Yu, send Director Huang back. Remember to follow Director Huang's instructions, okay?"
The young man named Tian Yu responded and was about to run over.
Old Huang waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, no need to send me off. I just don't trust you young people to do things, so I came to see it myself."
Zhou Xiao felt annoyed with Old Huang's troubles, but he still smiled: "You see, we are almost done with the preparations. We are about to start filming."
Lao Huang: "That's perfect. I'll be here to supervise your filming to prevent you from making any mistakes."
As he spoke, he sat down in front of the monitor under the parasol, naturally taking the seat that originally belonged to Zhou Xiao.
The staff on the scene all stopped their work at the same time, looked at each other, made faces at Old Huang who had usurped the throne, and probably cursed in their hearts.
Zhou Xiao suppressed his only remaining good temper and said, "It's very hot today, 39 degrees Celsius outside. You're old, so go back to the house and rest. Be careful not to get heatstroke."
Old Huang put the teacup under his arm, stretched his old face, and began his high-sounding preaching again.
"Our leaders have said before that artistic work is also part of revolutionary work. Since it is revolutionary work, we should not be afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and the primary goal should be to complete the work. How can we retreat because of a little bit of high temperature and scorching heat?"
"Xiao Zhou, you're still too young. You're afraid of hard work. Do you think 39 degrees Celsius is considered a high temperature? Back when I was your age, I carried a camera and worked with senior colleagues. It was nearly 50 degrees Celsius, and I shot all day long under the sun. I shot for two months straight, and I never complained or asked for a day off."
"You young people, you should learn more from me and gain more experience."
Zhou Xiao didn't believe a word Lao Huang said. If Lao Huang was really as hardworking, studious and willing to work hard as he said, why hasn't he become a studio director or deputy director yet?
After Zhou Xiao joined the station, he heard rumors about Lao Huang, saying that he was cunning and dishonest.
Zhou Xiao saw that the time was almost up and the host Mai Dong was about to arrive, so he had no energy to care about Lao Huang.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
He pressed the intercom and announced, "All departments, prepare, filming is about to begin."
When Old Huang heard this, he quickly instructed Du Yibai behind him: "It's time to shoot, hurry up and get ready."
Zhou Xiao originally planned to shoot Mingfu as the first shot, and suddenly created a visual impact.
After hearing what Lao Huang said, she shifted her gaze to Du Yibai unhappily.
Du Yibai smiled back harmlessly, not realizing how annoying he had done.
Zhou Xiao's face darkened. "Director Huang, our first shot should be of Ming Fu surfing."
Lao Huang: "Then move to the back."
Zhou Xiao refused to discuss anything: "This may not work. We have already made all the arrangements."
Lao Huang: "That means your arrangement is not good. How can you shoot surfing in the first shot? If there is any aesthetic appeal, we should let our traditional classical dance lead the way and immediately attract the audience's attention."
Zhou Xiao still didn't want to give in.
"I have experience, so just follow my lead. You won't go wrong."
Old Huang grabbed Zhou Xiao's walkie-talkie and started giving blind orders to the people in the group.
"Attention all departments, our first shot will be classical dance. Everyone, take your positions."
Du Yibai heard Lao Huang's command, ignored Zhou Xiao's expression, and ran to the beach to wait with a secret joy in his heart.
Zhou Xiao was really mad.
Since I started working, I have never felt as frustrated as today.
My position has been taken away by someone else.
She was not afraid of offending people, but she did not want to offend Lao Huang, a man who had nothing to do, would not retire for a while, and could whisper in the ears of his superiors.
Unless you don't want to do it anymore, you have to be on guard at all times to prevent him from stabbing you in the back.
Zhou Xiao could only apologize to Ming Fu guiltily: "I'm sorry, Ming Fu, I originally wanted you to be the first to perform."
Ming Fu: "It doesn't matter which one you appear in."
She didn't mind, she adjusted her sunglasses, turned her head and grinned at Zhou Xiao: "What matters is whose performance is more exciting."
When Ming Fu smiled, she showed a row of neat white teeth, and the corners of her mouth were upturned. Even if you couldn't see her eyes, you could feel the sweetness in her smile and be infected by her.
Under her encouragement, Zhou Xiao's depressed mood was relieved and he couldn't help but laugh too.
"You can also go to the side and get ready. Watch my gestures later. Start when I tell you to."
Mingfu also walked away.
Old Huang sat calmly on a folding chair, holding a small fan and blowing it at himself.
Zhou Xiao could only sit next to him on a small stool.
There are several monitors in front of me, one of which shows the host Mai Dong bringing the guests for this episode.
Seeing the guests walking into the next camera, Lao Huang still hadn't reacted and continued to sit as steady as a mountain.
Zhou Xiao suppressed his speechlessness and reminded, "Director Huang, it's time to start."
"It's started?" Old Huang shuddered and woke up halfway from his sleep.
He picked up the intercom that he had nearly dropped because he dozed off: "Hey, so-and-so, start playing the music, it's time to start."
Du Yibai walked barefoot to the boundary between the waves and the beach, struck a pose and began to dance to the music.
Old Huang yawned, then monopolized the fan and fanned it frantically, complaining, "Who chose this place? Why is it so hot?"
Zhou Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to him. He ignored the sweat on his head and stared at the monitor intently.
Maidong and the guests walked past quickly and noticed Du Yibai dancing on the beach.
When Maidong saw Du Yibai, he was stunned and didn't react for a while.
Didn't he remember Jing Ye's sister surfing at the beach at this time in the play? Who was dancing now? Did Jing Ye's sister suddenly switch to dancing?
Because they were far away, Maidong couldn't see who was dancing, so he followed the procedure and continued to ask Jing Ye.
"Jingye, does the person dancing over there look familiar to you?"
Jing Ye looked at Mai Dong in confusion and said, "I've never seen him before, so he looks familiar."
Mai Dong teased him and said, "That's your sister. How come you don't even recognize your sister?"
The audience was immediately shocked and there was an uproar on the Internet.
[I didn't expect it to be true, Jing Ye's sister really appeared again, and it was confirmed that she brought her sister with her]
[Fuck, the prophecy was cut off so quickly, is it really another drama of bringing in girls?]
[It's not Jing Ye taking care of the sister, I think it's the sister taking care of the brother. The sister's role is much greater than the brother's.]
If you're going to debut, just debut quickly. I'm annoyed by the pre-production and awkward dancing on the beach. The people involved aren't embarrassed, but I'm digging my toes into the ground.
[Seriously, who came up with that awkward beach dance scene? Jing Ye is his sister, don't they think it doesn't go together at all?]
[Your rhythm has me confused. Are you sure you look carefully? This is not Mingfu's sister, right?]
[How could it not be her? Mai Dong said it was her. Do you know the people on the show better than Mai Dong?]
When Chi Cheng heard this, he quickly pushed aside the people in front of him and leaned forward to look: "Is it really our sister? Let me see, let me see quickly."
"You're mistaken, that's not it." Jing Ye grabbed Chi Cheng by the back of the collar and stopped him from rushing forward.
Chi Cheng looked back blankly: "Ah? Really not?"
Xu Weixing glanced at the dancing Shan Yanli and said with certainty, "No."
Maidong was a little confused. Didn’t the director tell him that the first person to appear would be Jing Ye’s sister? Why did Jing Ye deny it so firmly?
Could it be that there really was a mistake when the production team was discussing the process with him?
As the camera slowly zoomed in, the doubts were soon resolved.
Du Yibai, who was dancing, noticed the guests appearing and knew that she had attracted everyone's attention at the moment, and there were several cameras pointed at her.
At this moment, she was the only protagonist in the whole audience.
Du Yibai was as if full of energy, dancing harder than ever before. No matter how strong the sun was, it could not affect her.
Old Huang also did not forget what he promised Du Yibai, which was to take a nice close-up of her and the water droplets splashing around her.
He saw Du Yibai working hard in front of the monitor and heard the music rhythm getting faster and faster, and knew that Du Yibai had reached the critical moment of dancing.
Immediately pick up the walkie-talkie and let the camera cut to a close-up.
With all this captured by the camera, Du Yibai's face appeared clearly in the high-definition camera, and the blemishes on her face were also magnified.
Dancing in the sun in this weather, she sweated a lot. The sweat and the washing of sea water had caused the concealer on her face to become mottled, revealing acne marks, dark circles, and traces of sweat.
Her bangs were stuck to her forehead in clumps, making her look a little greasy.
The pure white skirt was wet and covered with sand, no longer as graceful as before. Every time she danced her arms, it was like she was shaking off mud sleeves.
There is no aesthetic appeal at all.
The audience in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded.
[Who is this? Someone please save my eyes?]
[Didn't they say it was Jing Ye's sister? Everyone was making such a fuss, but what happened?]
[I told you it wasn't Mingfu, but many of you didn't believe me. Now you believe me, right?]
The host just casually mentioned Jing Ye, but some people took it seriously and started scolding her for wanting to debut. It's none of your business whether she debuts or not. If you don't like it, just leave. Why are you saying such harsh words?
[To be honest, I still feel a little regretful. It would be great if Sister Jing Ye really came.]
My younger sister is capable and smart, and I like her too. I really want to write a letter in blood to replace the dancer with my younger sister.
[Blood Letter +1]
Who is this dancer? She dances like this and yet she's embarrassing herself. Is she a newcomer? Who got her in through the backdoor?
[I swear, I've lived for twenty years, and this is the ugliest dance performance I've ever seen]
Du Yibai had no idea what she looked like in the camera and thought it was just the ethereal image she imagined.
Seeing the camera moving forward, he was so focused on posing and making expressions for the camera that he completely ignored his feet.
Inadvertently, she stepped on her long skirt that was dragging on the ground, and the waves from behind happened to hit her. Du Yibai staggered and was knocked to the ground by the waves.
Before she fell, the camera faithfully recorded the changes in her expression.
From surprise to fear, and then to horror.
From opening his mouth wide to staring with his eyes, he fell into the sea with his face drooping, and his face was hit by the splashing sea water, making it look hideous.
The expressions in every frame are wonderful.
The audience was even more dumbfounded.
[Why the hell did he fall over again? Was this a pre-planned meme or did he really fall over?]
[Thanks to this unknown sister for filling my emoji bag]
The first time I saw her dancing, I thought, how crazy is it to dance in the sea in a skirt like that? Sure enough, she fell.
[So miserable, so pitiful, falling flat on his face in public on TV]
[What's so pitiful? She could have fallen on purpose. Aren't there many female celebrities who fall on the red carpet to attract attention?]
[Thanks for the reminder, I never thought there would be such a way to become famous]
[Is this how you can become famous? You really look down on us.]
[No matter what I say, as long as it reminds you, her fall wasn't in vain. Black and red are still red.]
[When you mention the beach dancing and falling emoji, I don’t believe you won’t remember this sister? ]
I apologize to Sister Jing Ye. Instead of watching such a rubbish dance and being disgusted by those scheming people, it’s really better to watch Sister Jing Ye.
[My younger sister is not a substitute. You just said that if you don’t want to see my younger sister, just shut up and don’t make any noise. Your remarks are just as disgusting.]
[No, I really want to apologize to my sister and want her to come and cleanse my eyes.]
[Ahhh, I also need my sister to wash my eyes urgently]
[By the way, did you see someone surfing in the upper left corner? It looks super cool.]
[I saw it a while ago. While the dancer was doing her awkward dance, I was watching the guy behind her surfing. Just now, he even went into the wave tube. Is that called a tube drill? Anyway, it's super cool.]
[It's a drill pipe! As a surfing enthusiast, I'm sure this is a great surfer. Can you zoom in a little? I want to see this great surfer.]
[I don't want to watch awkward dancing, can I watch the great surfing? ]
[The cameraman cuts off the surfing and gives you a big chicken drumstick]
I don’t know if the cameraman heard the crowd’s cries, but he actually cut to the surfing and zoomed in.
Then the audience clearly saw a slim girl wearing a one-piece jellyfish suit, standing on the white surfboard with ease.
A wave hit her, and she jumped into the air on her surfboard, the board tumbling in the air under her feet. Then she grabbed the board in the air and landed steadily.
Continue to glide along with the rolling waves.
The audience in front of the camera were stunned by this set of smooth movements, and they clapped and exclaimed in surprise.
