"I think we should look at the makeup before filming," the actor from China said. He glanced at Bo Jiu and pointed out. "This role is too important. If the aura isn't strong enough, the audience won't be satisfied and it might affect the box office and reputation."
As soon as the words' box office and reputation 'were mentioned, everyone paused.
After all, as a filmmaker, to put it bluntly, these two aspects were the most important.
The director had spent so much time looking for someone. If the aura wasn't strong enough, it might ruin the original work. There would definitely be a backlash and that was the last thing they wanted.
Hence, from a certain perspective, the actor was right. The makeup was the key.
But he didn't jump out to speak because of the movie.
It was because of what had happened previously. He wanted to vent his anger and at the same time, he could get on Alan's good side. Why not?
The director could tell that there was another layer of trouble in his words.
He frowned. He had thought that since they were all from China, it would be easier to get along.
He hadn't expected this actor to be the troublemaker.
Under such circumstances, the other actors watched.
She was obviously trying to make the director take a step back.
The international director had a temper too. He narrowed his eyes and was about to speak.
But Bo Jiu walked to the assistant's side first. She used the youngster's unique voice, pleasant and magnetic. "Where do I go to get my makeup done?"
"Huh?" The assistant almost wanted to thank the person in front of him for being so sensible. Otherwise, if the director were to flip out, the situation would definitely be awkward. Fortunately, the youngster spoke up in time.
"Here, come over here!" The assistant hurriedly reached out.
Bo Jiu followed behind her, the warmth in her eyes gone.
The makeup artist was famous in the industry. Honestly, he hadn't expected much from her at the start.
But at this moment, when he looked at the youngster again, the dark eyes didn't seem to have any impurities. They were cold and mysterious.
He raised a brow and asked the assistant, "What's wrong?"
"Getting into character early?" The assistant could only guess.
The aura exuding from the youngster seemed to be changing bit by bit.
It was an indescribable feeling, as though there was something mysterious about it.
The makeup artist put on the makeup first. When she touched the youth's face, she realized that she didn't need any foundation. After all, the youth's skin was too good. It was as white as jade, and there was a kind of silky coolness when she touched it. It was easy to think of oriental porcelain.
Bo Jiu seemed to have noticed the pause in her makeup artist's words. Bo Jiu lifted the corners of her eyes, the tiny tear mole appearing. "What is it?"
"Ahem, nothing." The makeup artist was stunned. He would never admit that at that moment, he was a little dazed. It wasn't rare to see good-looking people in this industry, but it was rare to see someone like the youngster who had a bloodsucking aura.
The youth was fair enough.
His eyes were very dark.
Her eyelashes and the bridge of her nose were impeccably perfect.
Especially the youth's lips, which were very pale.
The makeup artist suddenly had the thought of doing her makeup seriously.
In fact, there was no need to draw much. The eyeliner and the increased brightness of the T-area were all to make the youngster's facial features stand out.
One had to admit that some makeup could indeed make people as cold as ice in an instant.
When the makeup artist saw the finished product, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
He could not imagine what kind of changes the young man would undergo after he put on the costume.
The assistant was still waiting anxiously outside.
He didn't know who had mentioned that someone was going to appear in this role online.
It was obvious that the response wasn't very good.
After all, everyone had a different Hamlet in their heart.
Actually, the assistant knew that there would be people who wouldn't be satisfied with this role.
But if they had found a famous actor, the opposition might have been smaller.
Just like now …
The assistant glanced at the comments and rubbed his aching head.
"What's wrong with getting a Chinese actor?"
"I don't think it's a problem to get a Chinese actor since the person we like is indeed from the East. Isn't this already written in the novel? More importantly, I heard that this actor doesn't have any acting skills and his aura is weak. "
"Weak aura? Oh my god! Isn't this ruining my idol?! "
"To be honest, I really hope so."
"There's no other way. I was going to watch it but now I've completely lost interest …"
The comments online would definitely not be good.
That was normal.
After all, everyone had expectations for the idol in their hearts.
As the assistant, it was probably time to remind the director. Hence, she ran over and showed her phone to the director.
"Someone leaked the news?" The director was very smart. He could tell that there was something fishy about it. After all, not many people knew that he had poached Jiu to act in the movie.
The assistant lowered his voice. "It's not a matter of who leaked the news, but whether the actor you found can pass the most basic test."
Alan stood at the side and could see how ugly the director's expression was.
He glanced at his phone again and smiled smugly. Then, he glanced at the actor standing beside him. "Aren't you afraid of dealing with someone who comes from the same place as you?"
"I didn't do anything. I just wanted everyone to know what was going on." Obviously, the actor was a white lotus.
Alan appreciated his sense of attachment to a hero who knew how to adapt to the situation.
That was how a Chinese pig should be …
The atmosphere was tense. The assistant kept raising her wrist to look at the time.
There were too many staff here.
Only those who were filming were at other locations. Most of the rest were here, including some of the main actors.
The assistant was really worried that the effect would be too bad.
When the director …
Before the assistant could finish analyzing the situation, the moment she looked up, she was completely stunned. Her hand holding the phone also squatted on the spot, and her mouth opened to a certain extent.
Every inch of expression on his face was filled with intense amazement!
The crowd followed her line of sight.
The first thing that came into view was a slender figure in a black trench coat. Gradually, the youth walked out of the darkness. His silver hair was mostly covered by the hood of the coat, and only his face could be vaguely seen. He was handsome, cold, and had a hint of evil. He was wearing a white shirt, which was pulled to one side by the youth.
This outfit didn't suppress the youngster. Instead, the youngster controlled it. Most importantly, his eyes were extremely dark and mysterious.
When the youngster played with the pure silver USB stick in his hands, he walked towards them. When he glanced up, black feathers flew into the air. Everything behind him seemed to have become a backdrop for the youngster. In the blink of an eye, his soul was destroyed.
In that instant, there was only the sound of people gasping.
One of the staff clutched his chest in agitation. The other exclaimed in disbelief.
Even though some of the main actors didn't express anything, the shock in their eyes proved that the youngster's makeup was flawless.
The assistant struggled to find her voice. "Direc-Director …"
"Hahaha!" The director wasn't a straightforward person. But ever since Bo Jiu came, he laughed more frequently. "Now you know, only Jiu is suitable for this role!"
"Really … How can they be so similar? How can they be so similar?" The assistant was a fan of the original novel. At this moment, she was circling around Bo Jiu. It was as though she had seen her male idol. She wanted to touch him. Who could understand?!
Alan and the male actor had the ugliest expressions.
Both of their expressions changed at this moment.
The former clenched his fists unwillingly, a sinister glint in his eyes.
The male actor was slapped in the face. After all, he had always been hailed as a stunningly handsome man in China. Right now, standing beside the youngster, he was almost out of the picture.
The director was still laughing.
The other actors expressed their friendliness towards Bo Jiu.
"Hey, bro, I can guarantee you that many people will change their opinion of you with this makeup."
Bo Jiu smiled lightly. "Thank you."
"We are looking forward to your next performance."
It was another local actor.
He reached out to shake her hand.
Perhaps many people thought that makeup was based on one's looks but that wasn't the case.
If it wasn't for Bo Jiu's character, which gave people a mysterious and noble aura and a pair of playful eyes, they wouldn't have thought that just because they were good looking, they wouldn't have been acknowledged.
But the acknowledgment made Alan extremely unhappy.
He couldn't take it anymore. He took a step forward and started to mock her openly. "In China, there are too many people who are just good looking but don't have acting skills. They are still chased by a group of fans. Brother, I have to tell you, that doesn't work here. Actors still have to rely on their acting skills to speak."
Bo Jiu stopped playing with the USB. She looked at him and suddenly broke into a smile. "That's rare, I agree with you on this point. Actors still have to rely on their acting skills to speak. It's about which country they are discriminating against."
Alan narrowed his eyes.
The tension made the director frown deepen. "Alan, you need to calm down. It isn't suitable for you to act with Jiu now. Cancel what we just said."
With that, the surrounding people heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, if they really used the fight scene, Alan might take revenge.
Even if he didn't, the youngster wouldn't be able to take a single punch from him.
However, to everyone's surprise, the young man, who had always been smiling faintly, suddenly said, "Don't. Alan wants me to see how he acts in an action scene. I also want Alan to see how we Chinese act in action scenes."
At this moment, the director's expression froze.
The assistant's expression was one of disgust. "Child, you are asking for trouble, do you know that?"
The actors at the side probably wanted to persuade her as well.
Alan turned, not allowing the situation to change. "In that case, let's start. Do you need me to write down your lines?"
"It's fine. Other than physics, I'm good at reading and memorizing." Bo Jiu's memory wasn't as good as Almighty Qin's but it was still better than ordinary people. This was a skill that every hacker had to train.
Since she had read the script twice, it wasn't hard to remember the three lines.
The director was worried, his expression darkening. He reached out, wanting to pull Bo Jiu back.
But Bo Jiu held onto his wrist. "It's a good chance to test my acting skills."
Assistant: … How does this look like you're trying out your acting skills? You're clearly trying to get yourself killed. Don't all good-looking people use their brains? How can you not see that Allen is so hostile towards you? How can someone with such a pure personality survive in this industry? You will definitely die without a corpse!
Bo Jiu didn't have to guess to know what the people around her were thinking. But at this moment, her attention was on Alan.
Our Lord Jiu was thinking about how to beat him to his heart's content.
Both of them wanted their team positions.
No matter how unwilling the director was, the two actors were already in position. He had no choice but to sit beside the camera operator.
Right now, he only hoped that Bo Jiu would hide and not let herself get hurt.
He couldn't let the actor he had painstakingly found get hurt before the filming even started.
However, everyone knew that it was impossible for this matter to end just like that when they saw Allen wiping his hands.
They were even worried that the youngster would be crippled by Alan.
"Everyone, get ready." As a director, this was probably the scene he didn't want to film the most. "Action!"
When the two words fell, Alan wasn't suppressing himself anymore.
Allen was no longer repressed. His emotions leaked out faster than his fist. With a ferocious expression, he waved his right arm at the young man.
It was so fierce that the director didn't even have time to shout for a stop.
The assistant at the side tilted her head.
She really didn't want to see her Almighty getting beaten up, even if it was an illusion.
Hence, she didn't see it.
In the next second, the youngster turned sideways.
With a wave of her left hand, she pinched the arm that was reaching towards her. Then, she pulled it forcefully. With a sinister smile, the wind blew. Her long legs bent her knees and she hit Alan's stomach fiercely!
What was even more shocking was that when the youngster did this action, her right hand was in her pocket the entire time.
Which meant that she only used one hand!
The black trench coat was rolled up, along with the hat that was hanging down.
She was ruthless and extremely cool.
But that wasn't the end.
Alan wanted to dodge.
However, he was pulled back by the youngster. Just like that, she held onto his wrist with one hand and used it as a fulcrum. With a somersault, she threw him out.
There was a loud bang!
Alan was thrown onto the ground. Just the sound alone was enough to tell how painful it was. Not to mention the twisted expression on his face.
The rising dust caused everyone's eyes to widen.
The youngster in the black trench coat was extremely nonchalant. She strolled over and looked down from above, revealing only a section of her chin. She said the first line in the script. "I hate people punching my face the most."
