Chapter 444: Good Appearance
to do with you, Editor Gu, do they” 。"Ke Xin, don't be so willful, okay" Gu Yihan walked straight towards her. "I know you agreed to marry Gu Chi because you wanted to save your aunt, and I don't bla...The plot of "Snake and Scorpion Beauty" centers around Gao Yushui, the seventh prince of Tianqing Nation who carries the heavy responsibility of protecting his country, and Su Yin, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, who is also his childhood sweetheart. After experiencing turmoil in the court and schemes, they finally reunite and find love again. Interspersed within this storyline is a part where the queen of an affiliated vassal state of Tianqing Nation seeks revenge and rebels, adding a compelling layer to the plot.
The male lead, Seventh Prince Gao Yuhui, in the play is played by Bai Jieyang, a popular young actor with both acting skills and good looks. His current position is naturally to the left of Director Ji, firmly in the C position.
The actress who plays the female lead Su Yin is Tang Lijing, a rising star from JiaShi Entertainment. She debuted as a child star but had been relatively inactive for a while before her comeback. She's considered a capable actress with a second wave of popularity.
However, she didn't stand on Director Ji's other side. This position should have been hers originally, the role of the second female lead, played by an actress named Si Nian.
Si Nian plays the second female lead, who is the main female character's best friend. She is a fierce warrior with extraordinary martial arts skills but also exceptional talent and intelligence, making her a remarkable heroine.
The characters in the drama are quite likable, however, she herself either has a thick skin or a powerful background, directly taking over the female lead's position with a nonchalant expression.
Gu Ke Yu was just a little curious about this, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. The other actors weren't as friendly though.
Zhao Xiaono, the actress who plays Qi Wangye's sister, Pingyang County Lord, gave Si Nian a disdainful glance and let out a cold snort, her face contorted as if disgusted.
After the cast finished taking pictures, they went their separate ways to get makeup done. The lead actors all came with their own makeup teams, and most of the other actors had also arranged for their own makeup artists. In the end, only Gu Ke Yu and Si Nian were unprepared and had to go to the public makeup room to do their makeup.
Gu Ke Yu noticed Si Nian was looking at him with strange eyes, carrying a hint of hostility.
The most troublesome thing about filming in ancient costumes is that the makeup takes a long time, calculated by hours.
It was Si Nian who spoke first, but it was a question.
"What is your relationship with Jiang Yinghan"
Gu Ke Yu was a little surprised by Si Nian's direct question, but considering they would be spending several months together, he answered seriously.
"We have no relationship whatsoever! That night was just a coincidence, I happened to walk past and bumped into him when he was drunk."
"Is that true"
Gu Ke'yu nodded slightly, and the hostility on Si Nian's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a cheerful grin as he scratched his head.
"I'm so sorry, I suspected you were coming."
Gu Ke'yu simply hummed in response, thinking to himself that this Si Nian was indeed a simple girl. She believed everything he said and didn't seem as difficult to get along with as she appeared.
After nearly two hours, the makeup and styling were finally done.
Gu Ke Yu stood up to go to the mirror to check her look, and saw the stylist's proud expression and the astonishment in Si Nian's eyes.
"Gu Ke'yu, you... this is too in line with the character of Bai Lu Wang Hou in the script, right!"
Gu Ke Yu saw that her makeup was so striking, his heart skipped a beat.
She saw a completely different self, with her hair styled in an elaborate bun, dignified yet graceful, with a touch of exotic charm. Her makeup also made her look elegant and refined. The queenly pride and arrogance were unmistakable, coupled with slightly upturned phoenix eyes, just like the White Deer Queen from the novel had crossed time and space to appear before everyone.
Everyone was also very amazed by Director Ji's eye for casting. Gu Keyu's face, with modern makeup, is not particularly outstanding, but in ancient costume, it is full of charm. Single eyelids paired with an oval face are very characteristic of the East.
Then Gu Ke Yu felt again how blind he had been in his past life. To please Liang Ming Si, he went to get plastic surgery and became a generic "snake face".
"Your eyes are actually very beautiful and unique."
The makeup artist said with some emotion.
Nowadays, female celebrities cater to the public's aesthetic preferences by having double eyelids and big eyes. It's rare to see actresses with such unique charm as single eyelids.
Gu Ke Yu thanked him with a voice, then left the makeup room and went to the shooting site to observe and learn. After changing her clothes, Gu Ke Yu left the makeup room, sat on the side watching others act, and learning from it.
The previous incarnation of became a hit largely thanks to the outstanding acting skills of the cast. The male and female leads currently performing together are greatly admired by Gu Keyu, as their love-hate entanglement deeply captivates the audience.
Director Ji also gave some guidance from time to time, and soon this part of the scene was successfully completed. Bai Jieyang and Tang Lijia went off stage to rest, and preparations began for the new scene.
However, the female lead Tang Lijia did not go back to rest directly. Instead, she sat beside Gu Keyu, flipping through the script and taking the initiative to chat.
"You're Gu Ke Yu, right I heard long ago that the role of Bai Lu found a very talented newcomer to play. I'm really looking forward to your performance."
Gu Ke Yu, upon hearing this, quickly replied with a humble answer.
"Thank you, seniors, for your praise. I still have little experience and need to learn more from seniors!"
Tang Lijia smiled very sweetly.
"The role of Bai Lu is very difficult to portray. If you can successfully play her, it will prove that you are very talented."
At this time, Zhao Xiaono also finished her makeup and came over. She happened to hear Tang Lijia's just-spoken words and snorted disdainfully.
"To forcefully fabricate scandals to secure a role, humph, how impressive!"
Zhao Xiaono's words were full of malice. As she spoke, she shot Gu Ke Yu a withering glance, her expression of disdain and contempt was unmistakable.
Gu Ke'yu didn't care at all. These things were already within her consideration, and she was too lazy to waste saliva explaining them one by one.
After all, this was Gu Ke'yu's first time acting. Director Ji was worried that she wouldn't be familiar with the camera position or anything like that, so he specially arranged a dedicated assistant director to guide her.
Gu KeYu also got up and followed the staff to look at the positioning, and the atmosphere finally wasn't so awkward.
As an actor, Gu Keyu is actually exceptionally talented. She also once dreamed of becoming a professional in the entertainment industry.
However, looking back on her past life, she had always taken on some bad scripts for money, and she was busy networking for Liang Mingsi, never taking the time to really ponder over the characters and the script.
And she herself often felt very inferior because she dropped out of school early, Wang Cuifen snuffed out her dream of performing.
Although Gu Ke Yu didn't have the opportunity to receive systematic training at a professional drama school, her mindset had changed in this new life. As long as she was willing to put in the effort, learn from everything around her, and truly experience life, she could definitely become a very excellent actress.would be inconvenient to exchange phone numbers with me" "Then you can just call me Ke Xin, of course." 。" Elaine and Su Xinxing exchanged phone numbers.
