N-M Chapter 178 This is what you call character understanding!
Chapter 178 This is what you call character understanding!
Upon seeing the words "otherwise it will be a minor misfortune," Jiang Bai's lips twitched.
So, I'm essentially just an unlucky guy, relying entirely on my equipment to get by?
"Little Lucky?"
"What good is Xiao Ji!"
"Yesterday was supposed to be a minor adjustment, but after that, all the good fortune ended up on the alternate account!"
Jiang Bai gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing the madness of a gambler:
"change!"
"Change it!"
"I want a medium-good luck! I want a really big medium-good luck!"
"And this time, I'm going to focus all my energy and channel all my luck into my large men's clothing!"
"Change!"
As Jiang Bai roared inwardly, the golden characters in his vision trembled violently.
Immediately afterwards, a brilliant golden light shone forth!
Today's fortune: Moderately auspicious (Your fortune is rising rapidly, especially beneficial for...career?)
Jiang Bai paused for a moment when he saw the question mark.
What does it mean when there's a question mark after "career"?
"Whatever! Just add the luck bonus to my main account!"
After changing his fortune, Jiang Bai felt much more refreshed and checked the time.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
There was still one hour until the audition time agreed upon with Director Lai Shui.
"Lai Shui..."
Jiang Bai's smile froze for a moment upon hearing the name.
"The female lead in 'The Mischievous Princess'..."
He sighed.
Although the business has improved, it hasn't yet turned a profit.
The female lead role right now is related to the god-level reward of the "All-Round Agent"!
In order to have someone sign contracts on my behalf in the future, and to completely get rid of the identity crisis.
I absolutely have to try this role!
"call......."
"It's time to transform again."
"This time, I not only have to dress as a woman, but I also have to play a woman disguised as a man."
"Another day of nesting dolls is about to begin."
Jiang Bai resignedly walked into the bathroom.
She skillfully took out that forest-style long dress.
Considering that he was auditioning for a quirky character today, a forest-style outfit might not be a good fit, but he didn't have any other women's clothing to wear. He felt too ashamed to wear a JK uniform, and yesterday's Peter Pan collar suspender dress was even less suitable.
"etc."
Jiang Bai looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly had a brilliant idea.
"The female lead of 'The Mischievous Princess,' Situ Jing, is set up as a princess from a previous dynasty who was exiled to the common people. She's a local thug, a real scoundrel!"
"Her favorite thing to do is—dress up as a man!"
Jiang Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Since it's a woman disguised as a man..."
"Then can't I just... go dressed as a man?"
"No, that would make Director Lai think I'm a pervert."
"but......."
"Could I wear light makeup and some neutral-toned clothes?"
Jiang Bai thought for a moment, then pulled out his men's clothing from the system space. It was a white shirt and jeans with a neutral style.
She wore a simple ponytail over the wig.
Instead of the typical pink peach blossom makeup, she slightly darkened her eyebrows to accentuate her heroic spirit.
Ten minutes later.
Looking at Jiang Baizhi in the mirror, who possessed both the delicate features of a young girl and the heroic spirit of a young man.
Jiang Bai snapped his fingers in satisfaction.
Then, his superb acting skills kicked in, and he gave a crooked smile.
boom!
The person in the mirror, with that mischievous, lively, handsome and beautiful feeling, instantly exploded!
"Absolutely amazing!"
"I'm a man, playing a woman disguised as a man—that's like a game-changer!"
"Let's go!"
.......
Inside Studio 8 at Kyoto Film Studio.
The air was thick with the acrid smell of tobacco and a sense of despondency, as if time was about to be wasted again.
Several assistant directors and casting assistants sat around director Lai Shui, their expressions not very pleasant.
"Director, how many auditions have we done in the last six months?"
The casting director sighed and twirled his pen rapidly.
"You suddenly brought in a newcomer from Yu Zheng's side, without even a proper resume. Is that reliable?"
Another assistant muttered under his breath:
"Yeah, I heard she's a singer? I think she just became popular on 'The Voice of China'."
"Can't singers just stick to singing? Why do they have to get involved in acting? These days, people are crossing over into other fields too casually."
"I'm afraid I'll just be a pretty face that only stares blankly, wasting everyone's time."
"rest assured!"
Lai Shui patted his chest, full of confidence:
"I saw her eyes, there's definitely something there!"
"Besides, Yu Zheng vouched for her, so it can't be wrong!"
As they were talking.
A clear, even somewhat cheerful voice suddenly came from the doorway:
"Studio 8, is this the right place?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a clean and efficient quality, without the timidity of a newcomer auditioning.
"They're here!"
Lai Shui suddenly turned around.
Everyone turned around to see what this person, whom the director had praised to the skies, actually looked like.
however.
When they saw the figure in the doorway.
Everyone was stunned.
There stood a young girl at the door.
She didn't wear a figure-hugging dress, nor did she wear the so-called "natural" makeup that's so meticulous down to the last hair.
A simple white loose T-shirt and a pair of light-colored jeans that have faded from washing.
Her trouser legs were casually rolled up, revealing a section of her fair and slender ankles.
She was wearing a pair of white sneakers.
Her long hair was tied up in a neat high ponytail, revealing her smooth, full forehead and her face without any unnecessary makeup.
No flowing dresses, no elaborate makeup.
But the overwhelming youthful energy, that unique blend of boyishness and girlish charm, was like a refreshing breeze that instantly dispelled the stale tobacco smell in the photography studio.
The casting assistant director dropped his pen.
The assistants stared in disbelief.
Director Lai Shui suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes shining brighter than when he saw his own father.
"this......."
Lai Shui muttered to himself, circling Jiang Bai halfway around:
"White T-shirt, jeans, high ponytail..."
"No fancy dresses, no messy jewelry."
"That's right!"
"I feel like she could turn into a guy if she took off her high ponytail!!"
He slapped his thigh excitedly:
"Those actresses who auditioned in the first half of the year dressed like they were walking the red carpet—they should all come and see!"
"What is role understanding? This is role understanding!"
"This is what crayfish should look like! This is what Situ Jing, disguised as a man, should look like!"
