Chapter 86 Halfway to Stability
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in black. She felt like she had the aura of a killer, cold and ruthless. But the stylist must have her reasons for saying that, so she nodded and said, "Then change into something else."
The TV station's costumes are all reused and ready-made. The stylist selected clothes based on Hu Xiaoxiao's height and figure.
Hu Xiaoxiao is taller, so there aren't many suitable costumes for her. After searching for a while without success, the stylist went to the costume department to ask, and they brought out a batch of brand new period costumes.
Because the artists who joined the company recently are taller than those in the past, the costume department had just made a batch of new clothes. When the stylist came to ask about them, they brought them all out.
The stylist came back with a dozen new clothes and said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Miss Hu, you're lucky. These were just ordered by the costume department and have never been worn. Try each one on and see which ones suit you best."
Hu Xiaoxiao immediately fell in love with several red clothes. She really liked red, this bright color. "I want this one."
Hu Xiaoxiao picked out three sets of red clothes, changed into one of them with a dark red cross-collar and narrow sleeves, and walked out with a long sword in his hand.
Like a female hero from a painting, she was dashing and heroic, with an imposing aura. Her red dress made Hu Xiaoxiao look even more beautiful. She held her sword in a flower pattern, her face as cold as frost, as if carrying a murderous aura.
The cameraman, stylist and others were stunned. "Ms. Hu, this red dress suits you so well."
"It does look better than the black clothes just now."
"As expected of a stylist, you have good taste."
The stylist didn't expect that Hu Xiaoxiao's temperament would change so much after she changed into red clothes. This was an unexpected result.
In addition to the tight-fitting outfit, there is also a pomegranate red straight-collar skirt and a bright red robe.
The Dahongpao has a bright red base color and is embroidered with gold thread. It is very gorgeous. Most people cannot hold up this dress, but after Hu Xiaoxiao put it on, not only does she hold up the dress, it also fits her so well as if it was tailor-made for her.
The staff immediately decided on these sets of clothes for Zhou Bijun, and asked Mingxu to try on makeup and take couple photos.
Mingxu is worthy of being a top-tier TV actor in period costume. Donning a period costume, he displays broad shoulders and a narrow waist, standing like a pine tree and moving with the wind. His height and well-proportioned figure give him a refined, elegant, and graceful demeanor. Standing alongside Hu Xiaoxiao, the handsome man and pretty woman, each wielding a sword, they resemble a pair of chivalrous lovers, envied only by the beauty of mandarin ducks.
Charlie came to the dressing room and looked at the couple posing there, and he felt that the show was half done.
"They are a perfect match." Director Shao Yitao also came over and said to Charlie.
Charlie said complacently, "You don't have to doubt my judgment. Anyone I like is not bad at all."
"Just looking at her image, Hu Xiaoxiao is more suitable for the role of Zhou Bijun than Yuna, but I'm not sure if her acting skills can support two roles. Using a newcomer to play two roles, Charlie, you're being too bold."
Charlie said, "I've considered it. Hu Xiaoxiao is not far behind in the role of Zhou Bijun, just based on her martial arts training. As for the role of Lan Xinya, we'll shoot her scenes first. If Hu Xiaoxiao can't carry the role, we can replace her. The role of Zhou Bijun is hard to find, but the role of Lan Xinya is easy to find."
Seeing that Charlie had considered both options, the director stopped talking and nodded in agreement.
Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao's red dress, Hong Qiuyan felt jealous again and complained to the stylist, "We're friends, but you didn't think of me when you had something good. Go tell Hu Xiaoxiao again that these clothes don't suit her and give her the black one."
The stylist rolled her eyes at Hong Qiuyan. "Miss, I have a job to do too. How can I do it if you keep snatching things from me? The makeup photos have already been taken. Charlie and the director have reviewed them and are both satisfied. And you want me to persuade them to change their costumes? Do you think I'm Mrs. Ji and have such a big reputation?"
"If I had known there were such beautiful clothes, why would I have grabbed the black one?"
"Come on, these new clothes are made by the costume department for the taller actors. I just found out. Do you want to wear them? Long sleeves and long skirts, like a child stealing an adult's clothes. You're acting in a martial arts drama, not some nonsensical comedy."
"Now even you look down on me?"
As the stylist packed up his things, he said, "We're all friends. Helping you once is enough. If you keep helping me, do you think you'll make me lose my job? It's hard to find a job out there. Instead of worrying about your looks, why not practice your acting skills and surpass Hu Xiaoxiao in acting? That way, Charlie will think of you first when there's a good role in the future."
"In terms of acting, I'm definitely better than Hu Xiaoxiao." Hong Qiuyan took Lin Erniang's script, opened it, and began to read it carefully, secretly vowing to use her acting skills to suppress Hu Xiaoxiao.
After Hu Xiaoxiao finished her makeup photos, she began to hone her acting skills. She had finally landed two roles, and with such a great opportunity, she had to deliver. Even if it took a lot of effort, she was determined to perform well.
She specially brought a few boxes of fish maw and bird's nest to visit Teacher Xia Qing, asking her to give her extra lessons when she was free.
Despite her busy schedule, she also attended the opening ceremony of the dance school and filmed teaching dance videos for the school. She was very busy every day.
In addition to the preparatory work, Hu Xiaoxiao also inquired about the script revision and found out that the screenwriter responsible for revising the script was Yao Wenlong.
Hu Xiaoxiao immediately went to the screenwriter department and found Yao Wenlong.
"Aaron, do you still remember me?" Hu Xiaoxiao invited Yao Wenlong outside and asked.
Yao Wenlong adjusted his glasses, glanced at Hu Xiaoxiao, and nodded, "I remember."
"Did you watch the TV show where I played Chang Sisi last time? Do you think the character I portrayed matches the image of Chang Sisi in your mind?" Hu Xiaoxiao humbly asked Yao Wenlong for his thoughts on Chang Sisi.
As the screenwriter of that drama, Yao Wenlong had naturally watched the entire drama. Hu Xiaoxiao was able to become a little famous among students with just a few shots, so Yao Wenlong certainly noticed Hu Xiaoxiao's outstanding performance.
Yao Wenlong nodded, his slightly dull eyes brightening up a bit. "You acted very well, better than I expected."
"This is because I spent a lot of effort to understand the character, feel the character's thoughts, logic, and the aesthetics of that age group..." Hu Xiaoxiao told Yao Wenlong what she once thought of Chang Sisi and why she performed that way.
After hearing this, Yao Wenlong nodded continuously to show his agreement.
Hu Xiaoxiao began to talk about the new script. "Aaron, how do you plan to change the role of Zhou Bijun? I'm the actor who plays Zhou Bijun, and I really want to hear your thoughts. I really want to play Zhou Bijun well and perform the image you created in your mind."
