Chapter 29: Snow Mountain Top, White Clothes and Snow
Although Ning Mingluo was caught off guard by what happened yesterday, he was not affected at all because of the sense of security that Gu Xiucheng gave him.
On the contrary, he looks better.
Everyone who did Ning Mingluo's makeup couldn't help but sigh, how could someone's skin be so delicate without any pores? It really looked no different from a freshly peeled egg.
"Mingluo, how do you maintain your skin? It makes me feel like a sin to put all this makeup on your face."
Ning Mingluo smiled sheepishly: "It's not that exaggerated."
The makeup artist sighed as she applied makeup to Ning Mingluo: "Putting makeup on you really makes me feel redundant."
"It's because you made me look good that I could achieve this effect."
"Alright, you two stop flattering each other. The filming over there is about to begin."
Qiao Xing was doing her makeup here, while Luo Chen went to talk to the director.
I came back just in time to hear their conversation.
"Then I'll go shoot first."
Unlike his previous supporting roles, this time as the protagonist he naturally received the most attention.
In addition to the various courses and trainings she has received recently at Shengshi, as well as Gu Xiucheng's meticulous care, Ning Mingluo's temperament is now completely different from before.
The whole person looks like a noble young man from aristocratic family.
Even a great director like Zeng, who is used to seeing beauties, couldn't help but be distracted, not to mention the other people on the set.
Ning Mingluo was wearing a white fox fur coat, and the furry collar made his red lips and white teeth look even more beautiful.
Under the white snow scene, he looked at the camera quietly, isolated from the world.
The young man who was able to plan and win battles from thousands of miles away suddenly appeared before everyone alive.
Zeng Shun felt that he didn't want to wait even a minute, and he was anxious to present this character as soon as possible.
This script, which has been polished for so long, has finally found the person who is most suitable for it.
Zeng Shun once thought that he would never meet the right person in his life.
Fortunately, Ning Mingluo appeared.
The final makeup photos were taken very quickly. Ning Mingluo was very confident and unassuming in front of the camera. She didn't need any instruction and the shoot was completed quickly.
Zeng Shun had to admit that although Ning Mingluo was not well-known, he possessed absolute strength.
Static photos can best show a person's acting skills.
The look in Ning Mingluo's eyes when he looked at the camera was completely different from his usual gentle and soft look.
There was alienation and unmeltable coldness in his eyes.
The person who took the final photo was not Ning Mingluo, but that young man.
"Director, please take a look at these photos and choose which ones are suitable?"
Looking at these photos, Zeng Shun felt a little reluctant to part with them. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Keep them all. Pick one to promote. Keep the others as well and release them slowly."
Ning Mingluo is unique.
Even under the strict director Zeng, so many photos were taken.
Ning Mingluo had just finished filming, and Qiao Xing quickly handed the water to Ning Mingluo.
The indoor heating was sufficient, and Ning Mingluo was wearing a fox fur coat, which made him very warm. I was worried that he would be short of water.
Ning Mingluo took a sip and looked at the water cup again.
"Why does the water taste different today?"
"Sister Chen asked me to give you a drink that the doctor prescribed to protect your throat."
Ning Mingluo looked at Sister Chen: "Thank you, Sister Chen."
"Don't thank me, Mr. Gu arranged it."
Ning Mingluo was stunned. It might be related to his physique. He would cough occasionally, but it did not affect his normal life, so he did not pay much attention to it.
He didn't expect that Gu Xiucheng would take such a small matter to heart.
Is this person a little too careful?
Ning Mingluo felt that not only his body was warm, but his heart was also warm.
Gu Xiucheng took every matter of his to heart.
Now Ning Mingluo is increasingly unconvinced by what Gu Xiucheng said before.
Although it was a bit narcissistic to think so, Ning Mingluo felt that Gu Xiucheng was special to him.
He couldn't give Gu Xiucheng anything else in return, and he didn't expect anything else. If Gu Xiucheng wanted to, he felt that he should be willing too.
"Now that the final makeup photos are taken, the crew will officially start filming. Director Zeng won't be filming in seclusion this time. After all, everyone in and out of the industry knows the script, so Director Zeng suggested we promote it well. I'm not worried about the promotion, I'm just a little worried about you."
Seeing Luo Chen's troubled expression, Ning Mingluo could probably understand what Sister Chen was worried about.
"Don't worry about it. I can handle it, Sister Chen. I'm not a glass doll, and I'm not a newcomer. How can I survive in this circle if I don't have this kind of tolerance?"
There were many big names gathered, but Ning Mingluo, a little-known person, played the leading role.
Without even thinking about it, Luo Chen knew how harsh those people's words would be.
Ning Mingluo was much stronger than he had imagined.
Looking at Ning Mingluo's determined expression, Luo Chen felt a little more at ease.
"Xiao Xing, after Director Zeng makes the official announcement, we need to follow up on the promotion. Please pay more attention to the subsequent management of the fan group."
Fan group management.
These words seemed a little unfamiliar to Ning Mingluo.
The roles he played in the past were all very marginal and he had almost no fans of his own.
Looking at fans of other actors in the crew visiting the set and holding events, he would be lying if he said he wasn't envious.
"Will I have my own fans in the future?"
Luo Chen smiled: "Of course. There will be many people supporting you."
Director Zeng is very efficient. The promotion of the film began the day after the final makeup photos were taken.
The ink-and-wash style promotional poster is dignified and elegant, with no other unnecessary decorations, only a simple sentence.
[Did you ever regret that year and that month? ]
The promotional Weibo post had only been posted for ten minutes when it was retweeted and liked over 100,000 times.
Ning Mingluo was surprised by the speed of the publicity.
"Don't be surprised. Director Zeng has a lot of traffic. His works attract fans of all ages, so he already has a large fan base. This time, we specially hired a calligraphy master to write the promotional poster. Although this master is a low-key person, his students can be said to be spread across various industries across the country, and many of them have achieved remarkable results, so this kind of publicity is normal."
While we were talking, the price had gone up by another 50,000.
The news about the casting of director Zeng’s new drama had spread throughout the circle and outside the circle. This time it was really confirmed, which naturally attracted countless people to watch.
New movie! New movie! We're saved!
[It's been ten minutes since I last posted this promotional video. Has the filming been completed? Is the editing almost done? Hurry and upload it!]
[I like this ink painting style very much. It must be a masterpiece if it has been directed by someone]
[This sentence seems so painful, Director Zeng won’t want to kill us, right?]
[Watching the calligraphy master in the front row, the ranking of the big guys under this Weibo post is almost longer than my life]
Ning Mingluo refreshed the page and many new comments appeared. He curled his lips and smiled. The comments from netizens were quite cute.
"With so many people looking forward to it, do you feel any pressure?" Luo Chen didn't dare to say this to Ning Mingluo before, but seeing Ning Mingluo browsing Weibo leisurely, seemingly unaffected, Luo Chen felt that he could communicate with Ning Mingluo.
Ning Mingluo turned off his phone: "It's definitely impossible to have no pressure at all, but I'm not that nervous either."
Before, when he was acting, he hardly received much attention. He just had to present his role well.
Over time, Ning Mingluo no longer cared much about these comments from the outside world.
Being an actor is actually a very simple job for him.
"That's good. Your acting skills are absolutely fine. It's only a matter of time before you become famous."
The day the crew started filming was very lively, and most of the actors were present.
There were also many flower baskets sent by Director Zeng’s friends to congratulate the smooth start of the filming.
Among these flower baskets, there is one that is particularly eye-catching, and the packaging looks more expensive and exquisite than the others.
Director Zeng couldn't hide the smile on his face when he looked at the flower basket.
Is the flower basket sent by Gu Xiucheng an ordinary flower basket?
If it could be preserved, he would have framed it.
In fact, it would be better to say that this flower basket was given to Ning Mingluo rather than the crew. Gu Xiu was worried that Ning Mingluo would be nervous, so he sent it specifically to reassure her.
It was the first time that Ning Mingluo became the center of attention in such a large occasion. He had a faint smile on his face, but he was very nervous inside.
My fingers are cold.
"It's tense at this time."
Luo Chen teased Ning Mingluo.
“It feels like there are more people here today than there were before.”
"This shoot wasn't completely secret. Some fans came to visit the set, so there were more people."
Ning Mingluo nodded.
"Okay, don't be nervous. President Gu has already arranged everything for you. What are you worried about?" Luo Chen's eyes were also on the flower basket.
In addition to the flower basket delivered in the morning, there were also flowers specially sent to Ning Mingluo.
The fragrance of the beautiful flowers can be smelled from afar.
The person who sent the flowers said that they were airlifted overnight. Their thoughtfulness is truly evident.
Ning Mingluo looked at the flowers, her cheeks slightly red. After her attention was diverted, she was not so nervous anymore.
"Okay, go over there, Director Zeng is calling you."
The opening ceremony was not complicated. This movie had only one protagonist. Ning Mingluo stood at the front and side by side with Director Zeng, and everyone else stood behind them.
Ning Mingluo followed Director Zeng's movements and completed the ceremony.
The opening ceremony has not yet ended, but Ning Mingluo's photos have already become a hot topic on the Internet.
Fortunately, they made preparations in advance.
When Ning Mingluo appeared, the crew also officially announced the candidate for the male lead.
[On the summit of a snowy mountain, a white robe adorned with snow—How is the young master? @Ningmingluo]
It is accompanied by the makeup photo taken that day.
Ning Mingluo looked ahead with indifferent eyes, as if everything in front of him was not worth mentioning.
Anyone who sees this photo inexplicably wants to crawl at his feet, as if he should be high above, untainted by the dust.
After coming to his senses, he was shocked by his own thoughts.
[When on earth did someone like this appear in the entertainment industry?! Where's my secretary?! Where's my assistant?! Send me my information immediately!]
