Chapter 138 I Just Look Good
Hu Xiaoxiao took the mirror and looked at her face, then took out the facial mask, tore off a piece and applied it on her face.
Mingxu sat on the sofa next to Hu Xiaoxiao. "I was afraid you would be sad to hear this news, and I didn't want to rub salt into your wounds, so I didn't tell you."
"Don't be so understanding next time. My heart is not as fragile as you think."
"You didn't know it before." Mingxu scratched his head in distress and said, "What should I do now? You're not thinking of abandoning me and finding another male lead, are you?"
Mingxu looked at Hu Xiaoxiao with longing eyes, like an abandoned woman.
"Who said I'm going to change the male lead?"
"Don't you see I've gained weight and become darker?"
Hu Xiaoxiao took a look at Mingxu's figure. He had indeed gained a lot of weight, but——
"It's not a big deal, just lose a few pounds."
"What do you mean by losing a few pounds? I've gained more than ten pounds! How can I lose more than ten pounds? The filming is about to start!" Mingxu was very anxious.
Hu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was calm and composed, comforting him, "It won't start filming so soon, I'm not in a rush. Besides, I'm not Wang Shasha, who needs you to be skinny to play the role. A few pounds won't have much of an impact, as long as I look good as the leading actress."
Hu Xiaoxiao decided to polish the drama "Mu Guiying" carefully. This is no longer a simple drama, but the foundation of her foothold in TTV. She needs to put her full attention into this drama.
The preparation work will take some time, and the selection of other roles has not started yet. If Mingxu wants to lose weight, he can put his role at the end, so there is plenty of time.
Mingxu wasn't comforted at all. "Don't just care about your own appearance and not care about my life or death."
After asking about the approximate start-up time, Mingxu finally felt relieved.
He lay spread-eagle on the sofa, picked up Hu Xiaoxiao's mirror, looked at his face left and right, then took out a whitening mask from Hu Xiaoxiao's facial masks, tore it open, and applied it on his face.
Not sure if the mask is useful?
If not, then you can only powder your face.
Mingxu was thinking about how to get back to his best condition, but Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Mingxu, you can't keep relying on losing weight and starving yourself to fit in with the role. It's not good for your health in the long run."
She had worked with Mingxu for such a long time that she felt pity for him.
Despite her size, she starved herself to look good on camera. After finally finishing a film, she indulged herself, only to starve again for the next one.
Putting aside other things, the stomach cannot withstand this torture in the long run.
Hu Xiaoxiao gave him a suggestion: "I think your conditions are very suitable for the tough guy route. Why don't you consider going this route? That way you don't have to go hungry all the time."
After hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's words, Mingxu was silent for a moment, then suddenly rushed over, hugged Hu Xiaoxiao and burst into tears, "Xiaoxiao! You are my soulmate! I am so pitiful! Since my debut, I have never had a full meal. I go hungry several times a day! I am so miserable!"
Hu Xiaoxiao rubbed his ears, put the mask that had fallen off Mingxu's face back on his, and pushed him away in disgust, "Stop howling in front of me. In the past month, when have you not eaten too much and been stuffed?"
Mingxu silently put the mask back on. "I eat a full month and then go hungry for three months."
"If you don't want to go hungry all the time, plan for transformation as early as possible."
"It's easy to say, but transformation is so difficult."
The competition pressure at the TV station is too great. If he doesn't maintain his position, he will be replaced in a few days. How can he have time to transform?
Moreover, transformation cannot be achieved by just talking about it. You need resources, and they must be suitable resources for you to successfully transform.
Don't other actors know this? But how many actors have tried to transform themselves, only to end up failing? Some even end up losing their original market and becoming just another person.
Mingxu groaned and fell on the sofa.
Hu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, then looked at Mingxu again. "How about trying my hand at 'Mu Guiying'?"
"How to try?" Mingxu immediately sat up straight again.
"Isn't Yang Zongbao a military commander? Show off your muscles and strength in front of the camera. Maybe you'll be noticed by a movie director."
TV drama viewers like the image of a pretty boy, but the film market prefers the image of a tough guy.
Mingxu slapped his thigh, and the mask on his face fell off again. He quickly picked it up and put it on his face, then sat closer to Hu Xiaoxiao and said excitedly, "My Xiaoxiao! My dear Xiaoxiao! You understand me so well! My idol is Bruce Lee, and I really want to take a picture like him, a very manly one. And you know Sylvester Stallone?"
"have no idea."
"Have you seen him in Rambo? He's such a tough hunk! Compared to him, I think I could be a little fatter." Mingxu rolled up his sleeves. "Look at my arms. They're not thick enough, and my chest muscles aren't big enough! I need to gain weight!"
Hu Xiaoxiao had some impression of that movie and said, "It doesn't need to be this big."
Mingxu, completely lost in his excitement, chatted non-stop with Hu Xiaoxiao about the new drama, his inspiration constantly bursting forth. "The costumes you prepare for me don't need to be too thick. It doesn't matter if I'm shirtless, so I can fully showcase my muscularity. Ancient warriors were often seen fighting shirtless, and if we film them like that, the audience will praise our meticulousness. How about giving me a few shots like that?"
Hu Xiaoxiao reminded him, "Mr. Mingxu, have you forgotten that we are filming an idol drama?"
"But we're all very capable people. We can showcase our abilities appropriately, and maybe that'll become a big selling point." Mingxu suggested, "Also, filming martial arts scenes is very tiring, so prepare extra food on set. Since I'm aiming for a tough guy image, I don't need to diet anymore."
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't want to bother with him. Once this guy started talking, he couldn't stop. "Whatever you're saying, you just want to find a crew to treat you to a feast, and then you can finish the show lying down. I advise you not to dream on this. There's no such a good crew in the world."
"One day I will form a crew like this and shoot however I want." Mingxu said with a longing look on his face.
Hu Xiaoxiao shattered his beautiful dream, "That would be a huge loss."
Mingxu suddenly woke up from his dream. Poor people couldn't even dream for too long. "Can't you just let me be happy for a little while?"
"I'm just letting you test the waters in the play 'Mu Guiying'. I'm not asking you to jump in and swim. Put away your wild ideas and be realistic."
"So, I have to lose weight and whiten my skin at the same time?" Mingxu applied the facial mask resignedly.
He waited until the mask was almost dry before taking it off. Seeing that it was getting late, he simply washed his face and was about to leave.
Before leaving, I packed a large bag of Hu Xiaoxiao's facial masks, especially the whitening masks, and took them all away.
