The shooting of the final makeup photos went very smoothly. That evening, the official Weibo of "Shark Cop" uploaded everyone's final makeup photos and @ed the actors themselves.
"Shark Cop" is a big IP after all. In addition to fans of the actors, there are also many fans of the book.
The massive influx of book fans and the fans’ criticism almost crushed Zhalang.
Fans of the book said: "Qi Yaoxuan plays Gu Yan, how dare he?"
At this time, Qi Yaoxuan was just a popular young actor with a lot of traffic, and was far from reaching the point where he could make a comeback through his works. It can only be said that his huge traffic made him gain the favor of the market and eat up this big pie.
But his immature acting skills are not enough to support him in such a complicated drama. Book fans found it hard to accept that Qi Yaoxuan played the male lead.
Xuan fans. "Why can't my brother play Gu Yan? He's a perfect fit, right?"
Book fan 2. "What a match! With your poached chicken figure and your acting skills that looked like you were in a car accident, how can you possibly match the Gu Yan in my mind? Give up on this drama."
Xuan fans. "Get lost, haters, and stop pretending to be fans. My brother is the best. I love you."
Book fan 3. "Hu Yiran's portrayal is pretty good. She can definitely handle the role of Chen Yuan."
Xuan fans. "The female protagonist is the border, and the male protagonist is the pendant."
"Sissy, shorty. You're unlucky to be acting with your brother."
Xuan fans. "If you have the ability, don't act like one, you ugly bastard, a bitch. Tsk tsk, who would appreciate your seduction skills?"
Ran fans. "No rumors or personal attacks. @Hu Yiran Studio, sue him."
Book fans. "The third female lead is so handsome, Su has a broken leg. Ji Wan? Never heard of her. Is she a newcomer from some company?"
Fan of the book. "Does Ji Wan play the role of Leng Ningshuang well enough for me? I doubt it."
Book fans. "Where did this unknown person come from? Does he have any representative works? Let's go check them out."
Soon, the comment section was filled with Ji Wan's little fans. "Wow, this is a big production on the Sister List. Congratulations."
Late fan. "There are new stills to lick the screen, muah, love you baby."
Late fan. "It's a weekly drama, hurry up and start filming, I want to watch it."
"Where did this unknown person come from? How dare she outshine my sister? I can tell she had plastic surgery. What's so good about her?"
Book fans. "Hahaha, this is killing me. Your family also had plastic surgery, why are you so anxious to fight with me?"
Ran fans were enraged and launched a fan control campaign. They sandwiched the book fans and the Wan fans in the middle, killing them completely. The book fans became rebellious and joined the Ran fans to criticize the Yiran fans.
Qi Yaoxuan's fans were busy gossiping, poking fun at him, and dragging Hu Yizheng into the water. The three-way battle made the show a hit before it even aired.
After more than a dozen hot searches, Ji Wan's name was fortunate enough to appear on the hot search list.
Xu Jing just took a makeup photo, and after seeing it, he gained 100,000 followers.
Li Ai from Star Alliance called immediately. "Ji Wan, you're going to be famous."
Li Ai watched Ji Wan's fan base skyrocket from 50,000 to 150,000. Trending searches were incredibly powerful, and combined with the massive fan base, Ji Wan was actually receiving quite a bit of attention.
The fans of the male and female protagonists were fighting fiercely, which was a good thing for Ji Wan, as he took advantage of it a lot.
Far from decreasing, the number of followers shot up to 300,000 within the next two days. Li Ai was practically grinning from ear to ear. "Ji Wan, I've spoken to the higher-ups about your contract, and they've agreed to relax the requirements. Your contract with the second company is eight, which means the contract period is five years."
Five years is fine. Xu Jing thought about it and decided that the heroine would graduate in two years and then go straight to HG, a large film and television company.
If he works hard, he'll be able to make something of himself in two years, and use the three years to consolidate his strength. He'll be the number one woman in Star Alliance. By then, with confidence and the power to speak, the company will have to open up all sorts of permissions.
"Okay, I'll come to the company tomorrow afternoon to sign the contract."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the company."
Xu Jing hadn't been busy exercising these past few days. He had already memorized his lines in two days, and spent the rest of his time exercising.
In the morning, Xu Jing went to Hengdian to find Director Li.
Director Li looked Xu Jing up and down, a hopeful smile on his face. "Ji Wan, I knew you'd be famous sooner or later. Are you interested in playing the second female lead?"
"No, I don't have enough time, so I can only make a guest appearance."
Someone took action so quickly?
The potential stock he discovered is about to be dug up by someone else, which is quite unpleasant to say.
Director Li had the assistant director bring the contract. After watching Xu Jing sign it, he smiled with satisfaction. "We'll take the final makeup photos later. As for the filming, I'll ask Lao Yang for two days off. Then you can come to my crew to shoot for two days."
"Okay." Xu Jing followed the makeup artist to the studio to put on makeup and changed into the moon-white brocade hollow long skirt specially made for Bai Yueguang.
"The Legend of Beauty" is, to be precise, a fictional Southern Song Dynasty drama, with a predominantly cool costume palette. Director Li favored bright reds and greens in his early years, propelling numerous male and female stars to stardom. Many productions imitated the makeup and styling of his productions, but with so many viewers, the aesthetic fatigue grew.
After all, Director Li is at the forefront of costume dramas. He boldly uses newcomers, and even the crew's stylists are newcomers.
The newcomer has been in the Hanfu circle for many years, and this is her first time to work with Director Li's drama. She showed the designed styling drawings to Director Li, who was quite satisfied and used her designs.
Even if it is the sickly Bai Yueguang, the necessary bun and pearl hairpins are indispensable. In order to reflect the fragile image of the character, the stylist used velvet flowers and pearls to embellish Xu Jing's wig.
The stylist stared at Xu Jing's full forehead for a long time and used a blue gemstone forehead ornament.
After applying a fresh and elegant makeup, the sense of alienation stands out.
The makeup artist saw this and smiled as she added a beauty spot below Xu Jing's almond-shaped eyes. Suddenly, she brought the celestial being down from the sky, adding a touch of earthy charm.
"Yes, I really have a good eye for talent." Director Li was increasingly satisfied with his own judgment after watching. If Ji Wan had some acting skills, she would have been a big hit in the entertainment industry with just this face. "Quick, photographer, take a few more shots and leave them for me to choose from."
After the shoot, it was already 9pm. Xu Jing saved a set of pictures on his phone, waiting to release them on the day of the official announcement.
“Ding ding.”
A Maybach stopped at the door of the crew and turned on its high beam when it saw Xu Jing approaching.
The moment the bright light hit his face, Xu Jing's eyes went dark from the irritation. He stopped and rubbed his eyes.
His hand was grabbed, and Xu Jing stepped on his foot. The former groaned and laughed: "Really cruel, get in the car."
"There are paparazzi taking pictures."
"No one knows you, let's go."
Jiang Yufeng covered Xu Jing's eyes, half-hugged her, opened the passenger door, and pushed her in.
"It's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten me?"
