Chapter 151: Chapter 151: At Least a Name
Gu Manxi nodded calmly. It was impossible to tell her gender by her neutral voice. “Okay.”
She sat down and asked the makeup artist to remove her makeup. Her aura was cold and clear.
The identity of the female lead in the movie was complicated. In the beginning, she was dressed as a man, but in the end, she was dressed as a woman. Today, Gu Manxi had just finished her part as a man. She was deeply engrossed in her character and had put herself into a male character’s mindset. For the time being, she was still in character. Masculinity radiated off her.
The male makeup artist joked, “Miss Manxi, you really do look like a man. If I were a girl, I would definitely fall in love with you.”
During this period of time in the production team, the staff were all impressed by Gu Manxi’s superb acting skills.
Previously, there were still many people who suspected that Gu Manxi had relied on her connections to get the position of the female lead. However, after Gu Manxi changed into a male costume and the camera zoomed in, her entire aura was perfect, and she used her capabilities to dispel everyone’s suspicions.
Especially the scene yesterday where she was crying to her heart’s content, many staff members at the scene secretly shed tears. Even the usually harsh Director Lu’s eyes turned red as he lamented, “She was born an actress.”
When the movie star Cao Yuezhi and Gu Manxi acted together, Yuezhi’s aura was unexpectedly suppressed.
Gu Manxi removed her makeup and wig and went to the changing room to change into a cheongsam. In the dressing room, Lu Shanhe’s attention returned to Jiang Cheng. As the director, he had to personally participate in many things, including looking at the makeup of the actors.
“Miss Wang, can you make the scar on Jiangcheng’s right cheek a little lighter?” Lu Shanhe asked.
Miss Wang replied, “Okay, gimme a second.”
The character that Jiang Cheng played was a local ruffian. In the turbulent times, he had thrown himself into saving his nation without hesitation. He had a ruffian aura and a mischievous nature.
For this reason, Jiang Cheng had shaved his head, and there were many scars on his right cheek.
At first glance, he looked very cool and handsome.
Jiang Cheng was indeed worthy of being the best actor. His acting skills and his figure were like that of the best actor. He seemed to be able to fit all the styles, from the emperor to the local ruffian, perfectly fitting every character.
Lu Shanhe bent down and carefully examined the makeup on Jiang Cheng’s face. The distance between their faces was not more than 20 centimeters, and one could even hear the sound of their breathing.
Jiang Cheng was expressionless, and his ears were slightly red.
He could not help but stare at the corner of Lu Shanhe’s mouth.
“Miss Wang, wait a moment. Jiang Cheng, don’t move yet.” Lu Shanhe reached out and touched the end of Jiang Cheng’s eyebrows with his right hand. “Move the scar up a little, closer to the eyes and eyebrows. It’ll look better on camera that way.”
Jiang Cheng did not move at all. Withstanding the touch of a gentleman, he hid a smile at the corner of his mouth.
“Director, there’s a Miss Zhao outside. She said she’s Mr. Zhao Yan’s sister.” Wang Fugui ran in with a huff.
Lu Shanhe didn’t even raise his head. “I’m not seeing her.”
Wang Fugui scratched his head. “She also said that she’s here to visit her biological sister…”
Lu Shanhe looked impatient. He knew that Zhao Yan, Gu Manxi, and Zhao Manshi were siblings. However, Gu Manxi seemed to have a grudge with the Zhao family and didn’t want to have anything to do with them.
Back then, Gu Manxi was almost forced to marry Director Li. She had never told Lu Shanhe about this.
“Forget it, let her in.” Lu Shanhe let her in for Gu Manxi’s sake.
Soon, Zhao Manshi, who was wearing an elegant dress, walked in gracefully. Her foot was still a little sprained, and her walking posture was not very natural. However, it did not affect her beauty.
Zhao Manshi said in a well-behaved manner, “Hello, Director Lu. I’m Zhao Manshi. Nice to meet you.”
Zhao Manshi had originally planned to find fault with Lu Shanhe, but she did not expect to meet her Mr. Right halfway, and her heart fell in love with him. She had come to visit Lu Shanhe mainly to find out the identity of the male actor.
At least she needed to know his name.
