Chapter 4 Official Startup
Fang Xin rested well for a few days in the small apartment she rented, and regained her energy. Her face looked brighter.
Even Xiao Huai was amazed at how much he had changed when she saw him. Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen Fang Xin wearing makeup for a while, and she was still a little uncomfortable.
The person who was even more uncomfortable was Chen Xian. She went to Fang Xin's house before turning on the phone, and saw him lying at home in such an unkempt manner that she even doubted whether it was the Fang Xin she knew.
Before, whenever Fang Xin was on break, he would never stay idle at home. He would always go to Mr. Xu's house, which scared her so much that she didn't dare to recognize this guy. What if Mr. Xu got angry and fired the assistant broker around Fang Xin? How would they make a living then?
Fortunately, Fang Xin came to his senses and stopped pestering Mr. Xu. He told him a few things he needed to pay attention to and left.
It also means that she will go to the set on the day of filming to support Fang Xin. After all, Fang Xin's reputation was a mess before. If Fang Xin is not suitable for this role, she may have to give it up to someone else. It is okay for her to advise her.
On the first day of the makeup trial, Fang Xin got up early and rushed to the set in a plain white outfit without any additional decoration.
Director Lin saw a slender figure as soon as he walked out of the dressing room. He looked closely and saw it was Fang Xin. He nodded in admiration.
"Now that you are here, try on your makeup first."
The makeup trial process was very long, because every step had to be done meticulously, so much so that Fang Xin fell asleep several times, but she endured it and did not make it difficult for the makeup artist to do her styling.
The first set is the eunuch's actual attire, a dark red robe with a belt, which makes his already thin waist appear slender.
Her long hair was tied into a bun, and the makeup artist put a lot of effort into her eye makeup, adding light eyeliner to her already slightly raised eyebrows, making her look a bit like a treacherous eunuch.
She was as delicate and beautiful as a woman, but Fang Xin used her eye skills in front of the mirror, and suddenly her eyes looked so fierce and fierce that the makeup artist was startled.
Fang Xin, who was frightened, immediately smiled apologetically.
After Fang Xin got dressed, he went to the photo studio. When the door opened, the people working around him glanced at him inadvertently and never took their eyes away, following his movements.
"Director Lin, the first set is ready."
Director Lin turned his head to take a look and became even happier.
After Fang Xin's role was recently confirmed, I also inquired about some information. I knew some of Fang Xin's scandals, but I thought they were harmless. After all, actors make a living from their works.
However, he had also heard some bad things about Fang Xin from his director friends, and he was really worried that he might have chosen the wrong person during the interview.
I also secretly prepared a few actors who I thought were good and were ready to take over at any time.
But when he saw Fang Xin wearing this outfit, he felt from the bottom of his heart that he had made the right choice!
Even if Fang Xin fails to perform well in the later stages or fails to act well, he will be kept. Just being a vase is eye-catching enough!
If his good looks can be used to attract people to watch the show, it would be a good marketing strategy.
"Okay, okay! It's quite suitable, Xiao Fang."
The assistant director also came over to see Fang Xin. He had just heard people talking about Fang Xin, so he came over to take a look out of curiosity.
You don't know until you see it, it's really shocking.
The people who took the makeup photos for Fang Xin afterwards were very serious, maybe because it was her first one, or maybe because everyone thinks that good-looking people should leave more good-looking photos for people to see.
Then she tried on a few more sets, one of which was her pajamas before going to bed. Her long hair fell loosely on her body, and the snow-white pajamas were as bright as light, creating a special touch.
As long as he raises his eyelids, he can drown people in his breathtaking beauty.
After a series of makeup attempts, changing clothes, and taking photos, I was really tired, and there was some fatigue in my eyes, which actually suited the current look better.
The makeup trial was also completed. Fang Xin finished earlier than others. He found Director Lin and the assistant director, said hello, and went back first.
The filming started soon. Fang Xin did not have any scenes on the morning of the first day, so he memorized the lines he would need in the afternoon at home and rushed to the set before one o'clock.
He actually used the same dressing room as Lu Ziyan. Normally, there should be a difference between the third male lead and other supporting roles, not to mention that Lu Ziyan is much more famous than him, so this arrangement was really surprising.
Later I heard the director say that because the two characters have an unusual relationship, it would be difficult for the two actors to perform the feeling he wanted without any emotional basis, so every time they had a scene against each other, they would use the same dressing room.
Even if we don't talk much, at least we know each other, and the atmosphere won't be too awkward.
Fang Xin cooperated, and Lu Ziyan also cooperated surprisingly well.
Perhaps he had seen Fang Xin's ability in delivering lines and was curious about whether he had used any method.
Director Lin came over while they were putting on makeup and briefly explained the play, then let them understand and handle it on their own.
Soon the first scene started shooting.
Su Zhongxian (Fang Xin) led a group of young eunuchs to the front hall of the prince's mansion. He had a smile on his face and his steps were orderly.
Several high-ranking ministers and distant relatives of the royal family were sitting in the front hall, and no one was smiling.
Su Zhongxian bowed, but his manner was extremely perfunctory. Several ministers in the Fourth Central Committee already looked unhappy. "Your Majesty is kind, but I am just average."
Although Su Zhongxian lowered his eyes, the sneer and disdain in his eyes were obvious. "I am the prince's man. I am here to meet you on behalf of the prince. If you are dissatisfied, just say so. I can pass on the message for you."
After this sentence, everyone fell silent.
Seeing that no one continued, Su Zhongxian curled his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "You all understand what the prince means. The world is unstable and the people are also uneasy. I believe the prince has also made it clear in the letter..."
He stopped smiling, his eyes were calm, but his words were heartbreaking, "Some things, if brought to your majesty, may not be resolved peacefully. What do you think?"
The room was silent, and everyone present had a heavy look on their face. Among them, King Chu Xiang looked at Su Zhongxian calmly, then pinched his fingers as if he was thinking about something.
"I hope you can help our prince as much as possible. Your Majesty only has one brother left, so naturally I hope the prince will be better so that he won't be criticized by the world."
Su Zhongxian's words made everyone feel good, but everyone present understood the reason behind them.
The fact that the prince did not show up today made them feel uneasy. Su Zhongxian is the prince's loyal servant. Asking him to deliver the message is simply to tell them that you are worthy of my confidant to deliver the message.
But I don't necessarily need you.
As the emperor's only brother, a complaint is enough for His Majesty to investigate them thoroughly.
But in this dynasty, if someone chooses to overthrow the government and take sides, if he takes the right side, he will be an important official in the court in the future; if he takes the wrong side, he will be a traitor.
Now, apart from Prince Duan, no one is more advantageous than him to overthrow the current Majesty.
"Click!" Director Lin said almost excitedly that it was over.
It can be said that this scene is the best one shot today. It has a good balance of tension and relaxation, and it is turbulent. Everyone has their own thoughts.
Needless to say, Fang Xin's lines were well-organized, his tone was well-controlled, and his voice was soft but not shrill. He admired her with satisfaction for a long time.
