Xiao Tong moved very quickly, and it didn’t take long for her to tidy Zu Qi from top to bottom.
Walking to the mirror, even Zu Qi couldn’t hide the surprise and amazement in his eyes.
Judging from the appearance and figure, the original owner was very suitable for the costume appearance, especially a character who was as cold and indifferent as the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
He had long eyebrows like willows, a body like a jade tree, a face like peach petals, and eyes like autumn waves, and his whole body exuded an aura that prevented strangers from coming close. His dark blue clothes made his temperament seem even more melancholy and gloomy.
It was a pity that Zu Qi didn’t sleep well these few nights due to Xue Wanwan’s troubles, and even foundation couldn’t cover the dark circles under his eyes.
Originally, Zu Qi wanted to ask Xiao Tong to apply another layer of concealer, but then he thought about the fact that the second male lead in the script often suffered from insomnia and lacked energy, so he let it go.
“It’s so suitable. This outfit is tailor-made for you. You are the one who looks like Wei Mohan the most among all the people I have seen auditioning.” Xiao Tong said excitedly with her hands clasped together.
Someone next to him joked: “I didn’t expect Sister Tong to give such a high evaluation. If those people in front heard what you said, they would cry to death.”
Xiao Tong stuck out her tongue and made a face: “Am I not telling the truth? Then who do you think is more like Wei Mohan than Zu Qi? “
Wei Mohan was the supporting actor in “Palace Wall”, and he was also the role that many people who came to audition were chasing after.
If not hundreds, there were at least eighty or ninety people changing clothes and putting on makeup in front of Zu Qi. Among them were some well-known idols. Those people were really good-looking, but after wearing this fixed outfit, they always felt that they were so different.
At first, the staff of the make-up team couldn’t tell what was wrong. Now when they saw Zu Qi, who was dressed the same but had a completely different temperament, everyone’s eyes lit up and their hearts suddenly became enlightened – Wei Mohan described in the novel was aloof, capable, and extraordinary. He stirred up troubles behind the scenes, and he was both good and evil. He was a respected moral model in front of others, but behind the scenes he was often involved in bloody conspiracies due to his complicated life experience.
The movie script retained Wei Mohan’s contradictory character to a large extent. Many people thought that to play Wei Mohan, you only needed to have good looks and stand aside as a vase when appropriate.
In fact, blindly focusing on selling face and pretending to be cool would only make you go further and further away from Wei Mohan’s character, and this was why the crew spent more than two months without finding a suitable candidate.
No one had thought carefully about the characteristics of Wei Mohan’s character.
In comparison, Zu Qi, who had a handsome face but looked extremely depressed and gloomy, perfectly embodied Wei Mohan’s characteristics, especially the dark circles under his eyes that could not be concealed, which simply highlighted the essence.
After thinking about it like this, the staff shook their heads at Xiao Tong.
“There’s really no one else who impressed me. Speaking of which, Yue Ji is good.”
“Yue Ji pays too much attention to appearance. He can play a silly and sweet neighbor brother, but the role of Wei Mohan doesn’t suit him.”
“Let me tell you, apart from Zu Qi’s appearance, his dark circles look very much like Wei Mohan’s in the novel, right?”
“Yes, yes! I also want to say this! Zu Qi is the only one who understands the important point. No matter how good-looking other people are, they can’t compare to the contagiousness of his dark circles.”
So a group of people started chatting, and the more they talked, the more they felt that Zu Qi was suitable to play Wei Mohan, they even wanted to bring the director over directly to make a decision and sign the contract. There were really not many young people who were willing to put in the work and had such high understanding these days.
Xiao Tong smiled as she watched everyone having a lively discussion. When she saw that the time was almost up, she took Zu Qi out of the lounge.
On the way to the audition conference room, Xiao Tong chatted with Zu Qi. She glanced at Zu Qi’s handsome profile and couldn’t help but sigh: “You are completely different from the rumors.”
Zu Qi laughed: “In the rumors, what do I look like?”
“It’s not very good anyway.” Xiao Tong shrugged, and then said in an admiring tone, “But then again, you are the first person to have eye circles, haven’t you had a good night’s sleep these days for this audition?”
Zu Qi: “…”
It was true that he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep, but it was definitely not for this audition.
Zu Qi was a little embarrassed but did not explain. There was no need to explain these things to Xiao Tong.
“If other people had such a dedicated attitude like yours, they wouldn’t have not chosen the right person after so long.”
Not long after, Xiao Tong looked at Zu Qi’s face in surprise and said, “But your skin condition is really good. In fact, it’s very good. Many people can’t reach your level even if they don’t stay up late. Can you tell me about your daily skin care process?”
Xiao Tong was a very picky makeup artist and was also a skin care consultant for several A-list celebrities. She had a very discerning eye. It could even be called venomous. Generally speaking, whoever she said had good skin was really good.
If the people in the dressing room heard Xiao Tong say this, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws might drop to the floor – Xiao Tong had been working in the dressing room for seven or eight years, but she had never praised anyone for having good skin.
Zu Qi naturally didn’t know these things. He was silent for a moment, and then said a sentence: “I wash my face with Dabao every three to five times…”
Xiao Tong: “…”
Zu Qi didn’t dare to tell the story about the apple, so facing Xiao Tong’s suspicious expression, he turned to look directly at Xiao Tong with an extremely serious look and said seriously: “I’m serious.”
In fact, Xiao Tong did not doubt Zu Qi’s words, she was just too surprised. She didn’t expect that Zu Qi could keep his skin in such good condition with just Dabao.
But when she saw Zu Qi emphasizing it so seriously, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She covered her heart overflowing with maternal love and said with a smile: “Little brother, you are so cute.”
Who else dared to spread rumors about Zu Qi on the Internet in the future? Saying Zu Qi has a weird temper and is arrogant, she, the new sister fan, will be the first one to refuse to accept it!
Those waiting for the audition gathered in a small room. Xiao Tong sent Zu Qi to his place and left quietly.
Zu Qi observed the surrounding environment and found that the people auditioning for the male supporting role were all wearing dark robes, and their makeup methods were the same as Zu Qi’s. The only difference was that Zu Qi wore a waist-length wig, and everyone else had their real hair.
There was no harm without comparison. People who didn’t think there was anything wrong with their appearance at first felt like they looked like clowns when they saw Zu Qi’s complete equipment.
Why could that person wear a wig?
They had dyed their hair blond or red for a show and they were the ones who needed wigs the most!
Most people were angry but dared not speak out, but among them there was a traffic star named Yue Ji, who took advantage of his reputation and the crew personally extending an olive branch to him and became angry on the spot.
