Her long hair was styled into a sideburn, with only a single strand hanging down her chest. Perhaps because the courtesan was wealthier, her hair was almost entirely adorned with tassels and hairpins, yet she did not appear vulgar at all.
When Shi Xi came out, she saw the amazed expressions on everyone's faces and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.
This is what a courtesan should be like.
The moment she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.
The prop master stepped forward and said, "Please choose one of these round fans."
Everyone else just gave them a random one and that was it.
Shi Xi looked at the pile of ordinary round fans, picked out one with a picture of a beauty from the middle, and said, "I saw some leftover gold ribbons, could you wrap the fan handle with them?"
The prop master nodded quickly: "Of course!"
As he spoke, he picked up the fan and went to modify the props.
When the original courtesan saw that it was Shi Xi who had played the role of the courtesan, she suppressed all her resentment.
We can't compete with you.
She can't compete in popularity, nor in beauty.
Shi Xi learned to dance from a dance teacher.
The dances in period dramas are all very simple in terms of movement.
Shi Xi volunteered, "I have a foundation in dance and learn quickly, so I can increase the difficulty a bit."
Dance teacher: ...
The courtesan's role is very simple.
The male protagonist wants to "discuss life" with the courtesan and spends a fortune on her.
But when you open the door, you find the courtesan and the female protagonist sitting together.
The male and female leads are sarcastic and sarcastic towards each other.
Shi Xi's acting skills are already quite good; she just plays the role of a courtesan, which is a piece of cake for her.
Seeing the male and female leads flirting, she simply smiled faintly and covered her face with a round fan.
He then offered to pour drinks for the two of them.
The wine glass in her hand tilted, and the jade bracelet made her fair wrists look even whiter.
Even the camera couldn't resist zooming in to give Shi Xi's hand a close-up.
The director watched as Shi Xi, who was just a background character, still managed to add her own scenes, and thought to himself, "As expected of Shi Xi."
Even when used as a background, the details are handled well!
Shi Xi either serves as a background figure or dances.
Originally, the dance was just over a minute long, but the director, striving for perfection, made Shi Xi dance it three times.
This scene was originally only supposed to last for a dozen seconds, as a transition and to introduce the courtesan.
Ke Shixi was already beautiful, with graceful dance moves. She was clearly pure and innocent, yet her gaze was alluring.
The sweet and seductive style, both innocent and alluring, led the director to retain the entire one-minute dance sequence during post-production editing.
After filming, the director posted a short video of Shi Xi dancing as behind-the-scenes footage on the Weibo account of "Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon".
#The Dance of the Courtesan#
The video shocked netizens after it was released.
[Holy crap! Shi Xi went to film "Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon"? Wasn't she on the set of "Sky Blue"?]
Upon seeing the criticism, the official Weibo account replied, "Thank you for Ms. Shi Xi's cameo appearance!"
[Pretty lady, sticking on her pants, hiss hiss!]
[Shi Xi looks absolutely stunning in period dramas!! Waaah, Shi Xi should consider taking on a period drama role next time! Beautiful women should definitely act in period romance dramas!]
[That figure is amazing! No wonder she's a mentor on "Star Selection Girls"! (So when will Xixi have a stage performance?)]
The short 12-second video was set to various music by fans and shared on major platforms.
Besides the excited fans, there was also a group of CP (couple) fans.
Whose couple is giving us sweet moments? It turns out it's my Jin Shi Wei Kai!
[Ahhh, Pei Kai is the male lead in "Romance in the Wind and Moon," and Shi Xi is making a cameo appearance! Did they spend Valentine's Day together?! Ahhh, I don't care, my CP is the truest and sweetest! Where there's a will, there's a way! Jin Shi for Kai!]
