Chapter 198 Classic
The six leading actors of "Chinese Paladin III" were chatting and laughing, and when they saw Cai Yinong show up, they immediately greeted him.
"Ms. K!" "Hello, Mr. Cai!"
Cai Yinong smiled and nodded, with a warm attitude, responding to everyone's greetings one by one. He cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Your first task today is to try out the makeup and make sure you take the final makeup photos for Chinese Paladin III.
We strive to produce the most eye-catching and character-appropriate effects, and make a good start for this drama! Without further ado, let’s get our makeup done now.”
In the Tangren Small White Building, the men's and women's dressing rooms were located on both sides. Liu Shishi was familiar with the place and led Yang Mi and Tang Yan to the girls' room.
In the dressing room, several staff members were already waiting. When they saw Liu Shishi coming, they hurriedly greeted her politely, "Sister Shishi."
The tone was extremely respectful and the posture was humble. Yang Mi and Tang Yan behind Miss Liu were extremely envious of the scene.
Like the moon surrounded by stars, this is what the top actress of a film and television company should have.
Liu Shishi's eyebrows curved, she smiled sweetly, and said softly: "Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work today."
Seeing Tangren's top actress calmly accepting the admiration of all the staff, Yang Mi felt deeply moved.
She is known as the number one sister of Rongxingda, but in fact she is like an invisible person and is ignored in every way.
Normally, when meeting the staff in the company, you have to bow and scrape and be careful to deal with them. Compared with the treatment Liu Shishi received at Tangren, it is a world of difference.
Not to mention Tang Yan, her treatment in Chentian Entertainment is not even as good as Yang Mi's in Rongxingda.
The big boss Wu Kebo's mind is elsewhere and he doesn't pay any attention to artist management affairs. Apart from promoting the top artist Chen Hao, he basically lets other artists go.
Also, because they are the "natives" of Chentian, Tang Yan and Wang Jinghua's group do not get along with each other. They never get any high-quality resources and have to survive in the cracks of the company.
The makeup artist took his position and began to carefully sculpt and apply makeup on the faces of the three actresses.
Teacher Liu was a quiet person by nature, and she was not very familiar with Yang and Tang, so she closed her eyes quietly and let the makeup artist fiddle with her without saying a word.
It was Yang Mi and Tang Yan who opened up and started chatting first.
Tang Yan had a faint smile on her lips, with a pair of dimples looming, and asked softly:
"Mi Mi, I heard that your company's production of Dream of the Red Chamber is about to start filming. Aren't you going to be in it?"
A trace of curiosity arose in my heart. "Dream of Red Mansions" is also a famous big production. It started filming almost simultaneously with "Chinese Paladin III". How could Yang Mi adjust the release date?
Yang Mi's mouth twitched, and she secretly sighed that her new friend was really talking about something irrelevant. She responded weakly: "I played Qingwen in Red Mansions, and I didn't have many scenes."
However, when it comes to the casting of "Dream of Red Mansions", Yang Mi still feels a lingering fear.
Fortunately, she only played an unknown little maid, and was not as noticeable as some of the main actors when she was "auditioning for the role of a beautiful woman", and she also deliberately made herself look ugly, so she narrowly escaped the disaster.
"You just play the role of a maid?" Tang Yan blurted out, then realized that her words were a bit hurtful, so she stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and said no more.
However, Yang Mi's heart had long since calmed down and she had completely let go of the idea of playing the role of a maid.
As the saying goes, "Misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise." Fortunately, she only played the role of Qingwen, which was not a big part. After Tengda's mediation and communication, her godmother agreed to let her go out to take on acting roles.
If you want to play Baochai or Daiyu, you will have to miss "Chinese Paladin III".
She had a vague feeling that the drama "Chinese Paladin III" would be a huge hit, far surpassing "Dream of Red Mansions".
However, after this incident, her relationship with Rong Xingda was completely severed, and they would just wait for the contract to expire next year before parting ways.
Rong Xingda's work is really disappointing. She had worked hard to deal with Cai Yinong and got the leading female role Xuejian, but the two Lis actually blocked her and did not allow her to take other roles.
Later, Zeng Jia stepped in and, after obtaining Zhang Zhao's consent, offered the leading male role in a serious drama "The Bourne Supremacy" to be exchanged with Lin Dashao. Only then did Rong Xingda allow her to film "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III".
Rong Xingda got a good resource for free, and Tengda Culture can add a new popular young actress next year. Everyone has a bright future, and it is a happy ending for everyone.
Only Tangren Films got the female lead for free again.
Thinking of this, Yang Mi sighed helplessly and whispered to herself: "I don't want to offend Cai Yinong! I can't help myself."
Tang Yan kept silent, and Liu Shishi didn't say anything either, and the dressing room became quiet for a while.
Yang Mi stared at Liu Shishi, who was resting with her eyes closed, through the dressing mirror in front of her. She couldn't help but compare her appearance with her own, trying to find out the uniqueness of that face and how she could win the heart of the "national husband".
Because she was staring so intently, the makeup artist noticed something was wrong. While fiddling with her makeup tools, she curiously asked, "Teacher Yang, why are you staring at Senior Sister Shi?"
Yang Mi was stunned. Her peeping behavior was exposed. Her pretty face turned red. She quickly found an excuse to cover it up: "Master is so handsome. Even a woman like me is fascinated by him."
The makeup artist smiled and praised, "You are also very beautiful, Teacher Yang. You and Senior Sister Shi have two different styles, each with their own beauty."
This aroused Yang Mi's interest, and she asked, "Oh, then can you tell me in detail, what are the characteristics of my appearance and Shishi's?"
After these words were spoken, Liu Shishi slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked gently towards the makeup artist, wanting to see how she would answer. No woman would not care about other people's comments on her appearance.
The makeup artist paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly:
"Teacher Yang, your eyes are big and bright, your spirit is compelling, your facial features are delicate and three-dimensional, and your temperament is lively and agile.
Sister Shi gives people a gentle and peaceful feeling. She has a fresh and elegant temperament, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and has the charm of an oriental classical beauty.
In short, you two have your own unique looks, both of you are beautiful and charming."
Yang Mi pondered over what the makeup artist said and felt that what she said made sense and was completely consistent with the intuitive impression that she and Liu Shishi gave people.
"What about me?" Tang Yan, who was standing nearby, also didn't want to be left out, so she joined in the fun and wanted to hear what others thought of her appearance.
This time the makeup artist seemed to have a plan in mind, and blurted out without hesitation:
"Teacher Tang has a delicate appearance, a charming smile, and an elegant and generous temperament. She has an intellectual and royal style, and at the same time has a hint of sweetness and playfulness, which is very charming."
The makeup artist's precise comments made the three actresses very satisfied.
Tang Yan smiled sweetly and couldn't help but praise Yang Mi's makeup artist: "Your little mouth looks like it's covered with honey. You really know how to make people happy."
The makeup artist shook his head and said seriously, "I'm in this business and have done makeup for many artists.
The looks of the three teachers are outstanding and unique in the entire entertainment industry. What I just said is just my true thoughts, and there is no exaggeration or flattery. "
She works in makeup and has seen all kinds of beauties in the entertainment industry. The three people in front of her are at the top level in the entertainment industry where there are so many beauties.
Listening to the makeup artist's sincere words, the three actresses were all beaming with joy, feeling a little proud.
An inexplicable thought popped up in Yang Mi's heart: Sister Yi and I are evenly matched. If she can do it, so can I. In the future, I can't find a man who is much worse than Liu Shishi.
As for her future husband, Yang Mi would never dare to dream of surpassing Song Ci, who had a top-notch family background and looks. In terms of looks alone, he was far better than most men, not to mention that he was a billionaire.
Looking at Liu Shishi again, Yang Mi's eyes flashed with envy, and she said again: "Then let me ask you another question?"
"Teacher Yang, please speak?"
"Who do you think men will like more among the three of us?" Yang Mi hinted at something, and her eyes happened to meet Liu Shishi's slightly sidelong glance through the mirror.
The makeup artist frowned slightly and shook her head: "It's hard to say. Everyone's aesthetic taste is different, and men of different ages have different preferences."
Yang Mi chuckled and threw out a name relentlessly: "Then let me give you an example. What kind of woman do you think a man like Song Ci would fall in love with?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi turned her head and glanced at Yang Mi meaningfully. The leading actress was very competitive and actually used her Mr. Song as an example!
The makeup artist felt stumped by the question and looked embarrassed. As a woman, how could she understand the preferences of a big shot like Song Ci?
His eyes swept back and forth over the delicate faces of the three actresses. Combining some rumors on the Internet, he could only answer based on his feelings and bite the bullet: "Personally, I feel that Song Ci likes Senior Sister Shi a little more."
"Why?" Yang Mi raised her voice instantly and asked unconvinced.
The makeup artist didn't know how to respond, so she could only express her intuition:
"I just judged from the information on the Internet that Song Ci has a cold and quiet personality. He should like the gentle and beautiful temperament of Senior Sister Shi."
"I..." Yang Mi wanted to argue again, but Liu Shishi interrupted her leisurely, with a hint of pride: "Mi Mi, some things are destined, there is no need to force a ranking."
These words sounded light, but they were like a thorn, piercing straight into people's hearts.
Yang Mi was furious. She didn't expect Liu Shishi to be so harsh. What did she mean by destiny? Did Liu Shishi mean that it was her destiny to find a handsome and rich man?
He wanted to say something back, but considering that this was Tangren's home court and he couldn't be unruly on his first day here, he had to swallow his anger, pursed his lips and said no more.
But he was still not convinced and muttered to himself: I want to see if you can walk into the marriage hall with Song Ci and become Mrs. Song!
Tang Yan, standing by, sensed a strong smell of gunpowder. She had just arrived and didn't want to get involved in the muddy water.
Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, one is the leading female role in "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", and the other is the top lady of the production company, and no one can afford to offend them.
She didn't want to get involved, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be oblivious to what was happening outside.
The dressing room suddenly became quiet again. The three actresses were all thinking about their own things, and the three makeup artists were busy applying their makeup.
After two hours of busy work, everyone finished their makeup, changed into their costumes, and went to the audition room.
Hu Ge, Yang Mi and four other leading actors stood in front of the camera, showing their charm, each displaying their unique charm that matches their role.
Exquisite makeup, unique costumes, in a trance, everyone has traveled to that mysterious world of immortals and heroes.
Cai Yinong and Li Guoli stood in the front, their eyes sharp, carefully examining everyone's makeup.
When his eyes rested on Liu Shishi, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Yijie's makeup did not completely match her gentle temperament. Instead, it looked a bit silly and rustic, which was very different from her usual image.
Liu Shishi also looked at her own Long Kui shape in the mirror beside her, frowning slightly, feeling very unhappy.
Especially the hair accessories, which look very abrupt and silly.
I secretly thought that if this look were to get out, it would probably cause fans to burst into laughter.
"Sister K, Director Li, what do you think of my makeup? I feel like my hairstyle doesn't match the wide-sleeved immortal group at all."
Li Guoli couldn't help but chuckle: "It's really not good-looking, it doesn't highlight Shishi's advantages at all!"
Cai Yinong also nodded in agreement. Compared with Yang Mi's cute and lively look, his top sister's makeup was instantly eclipsed!
The other leading actors just covered their mouths and laughed, not daring to speak, for fear of offending Liu Shishi.
Cai Yinong observed Yijie's expression and caught her dissatisfaction and unhappy mood, so he quickly called the stylists and asked them to redesign Liu Shishi's hairstyle.
Several stylists did not dare to delay and acted quickly, carefully adjusting Liu Shishi's hair and meticulously selecting hair accessories that would be more suitable for her, striving to make the new look more prominent in her gentle and quiet temperament.
After a busy period, Liu Shishi's new look of Long Kui was finally presented to everyone.
This time, Sister Yi seemed to be reborn. She was obviously the same person, but she gave people a very different feeling.
The black and thick hair is piled up high, and the hair accessories are swaying and shining, which makes her look noble and elegant. Paired with a wide-sleeved fairy dress with flowing hems, the overall look gives people a gentle and watery charm.
The makeup was also slightly adjusted, the eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, fresh and elegant colors were smudged on the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, and the lips were pink and tender, which perfectly showed Liu Shishi's classical temperament.
Liu Shishi spun around deftly in front of everyone, with her skirt fluttering, adding a touch of fairy spirit and agility.
Cai Yinong looked at Yijie's new look and couldn't help but applaud and praise: "Just standing there, people can feel Long Kui's gentleness and tenacity, perfect!"
Yang Mi, who had been secretly trying to compete with Liu Shishi, had to admit at this moment that Tangren Yijie's makeup and look really suited her. With a gentle and lively blue dress on, how many men could resist such a pretty beauty?
Liu Shishi looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. No wonder that big fan “Poetry in Chang’an” strongly recommended her to play Long Kui.
Just as he said, the role of Long Kui really fits her appearance and temperament perfectly.
Perhaps with this interpretation, the role of Long Kui will leave a deep impression in the audience's hearts and become a screen classic.
"Okay, time is precious, let's take pictures!" Director Li Guoli urged, and the leading actors took their positions, working in perfect harmony.
Hu Ge stood first, holding a magic sword, looking handsome. On the left was Chen Xiao, the sword fairy in white, standing tall like a pine tree, with a sense of transcendence.
On the right is the lively Yang Mi, whose eyes are bright and her every move displays the character’s liveliness and cleverness.
Yuan Hong was wearing deep and heavy black armor, showing her majesty and exuding a mysterious aura.
Liu Shishi moved lightly with lotus steps and half-knelt in front of Chen Xiao. Her figure was graceful and her dazzling blue dress was beautiful and soft.
Tang Yan was dressed in a purple gauze dress, half lying in front of the few people, like a goddess who had strayed into the mortal world, delicate and charming.
The moment everyone struck their poses, shutter sounds rang out and flashes lit up the sky, permanently freezing this unique, fantasy-filled makeup photo of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III".
Later, this photo became an indelible classic image in the hearts of countless drama fans, carrying a generation's initial enthusiasm and fantasy for fantasy dramas.
