Chapter 107: Baby Face Really Looks Young
When Lao Zhang saw Zhao Yilin sitting there smiling and waiting, his eyes lit up and he thought: This girl is so cute, with a baby face that makes people want to pinch her. However, he frowned again and said to himself: "A baby face, it's no problem for her to play a girl, but it may be difficult for her to play an empress." It seems that Lao Zhang is absolutely straightforward and will not beat around the bush when talking to anyone.
Zhao Yilin just smiled when she heard this, and she didn't get angry or refute. She knew that her appearance might not conform to the traditional image of an empress, but she believed that she could make up for it through acting and makeup. So, she smiled and said to Lao Zhang: "It doesn't matter, I will try my best to show the majesty and temperament of an empress."
Lao Zhang nodded and began to carefully design Zhao Yilin's hairstyle and makeup. He first combed Zhao Yilin's hair neatly, then fixed it into a high bun with a hairpin, and then matched it with gorgeous hair accessories to make her look more noble and elegant. Then, he carefully put on makeup for Zhao Yilin, highlighting her big eyes and delicate facial features, making her look more beautiful and charming.
Zhao Yilin looked at herself in the mirror and was gradually impressed by Lao Zhang's craftsmanship. She found that she was becoming more and more like an ancient person under Lao Zhang's skillful hands, as if she had really traveled back to the Great Kang period. Finally, when Lao Zhang finished all the work, Zhao Yilin couldn't believe her eyes. She saw that she had completely transformed into a noble and elegant image in the mirror, completely different from the innocent and lovely girl before.
Zhao Yilin said to Lao Zhang gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang! Your craftsmanship is really great!"
Lao Zhang smiled modestly and said, "You're welcome. This is my job. As long as you are satisfied." After that, he turned around to do other things.
Zhao Yilin looked at herself in the mirror, her heart full of confidence and expectation. She knew that this play was a rare challenge for her, and she must grasp it well and show the best of herself. At the same time, she also thanked Lao Zhang for his help and support in makeup technology, which enabled her to better fit in the role and show the elegance of an ancient woman.
Ji Jinchang had been watching from the side. When she saw Zhao Yilin's last image, a hint of loneliness rose in her eyes. "Baby face, really makes you look young. When we stand together, we don't look like a sister-brother relationship, nor like a couple of the same age. We look more like a couple in love regardless of age."
"It's not that exaggerated, Jinshang, you rarely belittle yourself like this." The speaker was Wei Anquan, the chief director of "The King's Avatar".
Zhao Yilin turned around and greeted the director obediently: "Hello, Director."
Wei Anquan looked at Zhao Yilin and nodded repeatedly, "Xiao Zhao, that's great, that's it."
"Director, I think we should find a young actor to make the transition. I can start from the time when I ascended the throne as the emperor." Ji Jinshang suggested to Wei Anquan sincerely.
Wei An looked at him for a while and called Lao Zhang over. "Lao Zhang, help Jin Shang redo it and see how he will look after ascending the throne?"
Old Zhang asked Ji Jinchang to sit down and started to fiddle with it again. Zhao Yilin and Wei Anquan were watching from the side. Soon Ji Jinchang appeared in front of them in a different image.
The first thing Ji Jinshang did after finishing the styling was to stand next to Zhao Yilin and said, "Director, Teacher Zhang, how is it? Are we a good match?"
This time, Lao Zhang was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, they are a perfect match. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, just like a perfect match."
Zhao Yilin was also attracted by herself and Ji Jinshang in the mirror. It was just as Lao Zhang said, a perfect match. Wei Anquan was watching in a trance, muttering to himself after a long while: "I can't believe it, I can't believe it."
Ji Jinshang dusted off her costume with satisfaction, "Okay, right? Then director, I'll start acting from this point on, and this can be my appearance."
Wei Anquan scratched his forehead and said, "What about the play before he ascended the throne? Where can we find actors? What kind of actors should we find?" He seemed to be stumped.
Ji Jinshang helped him solve the problem. "It doesn't matter if you find a male actor who is the same age as Xiao Zhao or younger. Anyway, she has a baby face and looks young enough to play the role from beginning to end. Just find a male actor who looks similar to me and is younger."
Wei Anquan frowned and smiled bitterly, "Where can I find an actor who looks similar to you? Not everyone can be so handsome."
Ji Jinchang smiled gently, "Director, don't praise me like that. The little girl will laugh at me if she hears it."
"How could that be? Isn't little Zhao Jinshang handsome?"
Zhao Yilin was very polite and affirmative: "Yes. Very handsome."
A barely perceptible smile flashed across Ji Jinshang's lips. "Director, let's stop here. Let's shoot the rest of the scenes first. We'll definitely find the right one while we're shooting. If we really can't find one, I'll just paint myself green and pretend to be young."
Wei Anquan smiled meaningfully, "What's wrong with Jinchang today? You always bring up your age. I remember you didn't have any anxiety about this at all."
"Don't think too much. Young people have their own advantages, and we also have our advantages!" Ji Jinshang comforted herself, but she still couldn't help feeling anxious.
Yes, what happened today? Why do you care so much about age? He secretly glanced at Zhao Yilin who was sitting next to him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This girl is really invincible in youth! Those bright, watery eyes, brilliant smile and energetic breath are impossible to ignore. Perhaps it was because of her existence that Ji Jinshang began to worry about his age.
Perhaps influenced by Zhao Yilin, Ji Jinshang suddenly felt that he had missed a lot of good times. Those carefree and passionate days seemed to be far away from him. Although his life was stable now, it lacked the impulse and adventurous spirit of his youth. This feeling made him feel uneasy and even a little lost.
After Zhao Yilin and Ji Jinshang completed their exquisite makeup and hair styles under the skillful hands of the makeup artist, they both looked particularly energetic. At the same time, other actors also completed their own looks one after another, and the whole crew was filled with a lively atmosphere.
On the first day of filming, the director decided to take some poster photos first. This idea came from his unique shooting habits, because he believed that this way he could better capture the personality characteristics of each character and position them more accurately in subsequent filming. For the director, this is not only a creative attempt, but also a way to improve efficiency.
At the shooting site, the lighting technicians carefully arranged the lights, and the photographers were busy adjusting the camera parameters to ensure that every photo would show the best effect. The actors showed their charm and style in front of the camera, and every expression and action was carefully considered to perfectly present the character image.
