Chapter 180 The Artist's Frankness!
"boom--"
It was as if a black tower had moved in, blocking most of the light from the entrance.
Everyone instinctively turned to look.
A man who was over 1.85 meters tall, wearing a tight black suit, with healthy tan skin, a well-trimmed beard, and sunglasses walked in.
The suit was stretched taut by his muscular physique.
In particular, his prominent pectoral muscles and the faint outline of his eight-pack abs exude an explosive sense of power.
Handsome!
Robust!
It exudes the oppressive aura of a mature man!
This is like a brown bear dressed in a suit walking into a rabbit's burrow.
Jiang Bai looked at the muscular man in front of him, who resembled Schwarzenegger reincarnated, and swallowed hard.
He looked down at his small frame.
"Good heavens..."
"This sense of security is absolutely overwhelming."
"If this punch lands, whether it's a 1 or a 0, they'll probably all be reduced to dust."
A muscular middle-aged man walked onto the set, took off his sunglasses, and revealed a pair of sharp eyes like those of a hawk.
After glancing around, his gaze instantly softened and became respectful. He quickly walked behind Jiang Bai and bowed slightly.
"Miss Jiang."
"Sorry, there was traffic on the way, I'm late."
His voice is deep and magnetic, a true bass cannon.
The moment he called out "Miss Jiang," everyone present was stunned.
Just now, everyone watched Jiang Bai play "Little Lobster" and thought she was incredibly heroic, even more masculine than a man. Some of her female assistants even blushed.
But now...
When Jiang Bai stood next to this dark-skinned, muscular man.
A strong visual contrast was created.
Compared to that enormous figure, the once spirited "young swordsman" instantly transformed into a...
Petite.
weak.
A small white flower that needs careful care.
A female casting assistant couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"Wow... this size difference is so cute, it's so adorable!"
"She was so cool acting just now that I almost forgot she was a girl."
"Standing next to this agent now, wow, isn't this the quintessential image of a pampered heiress from a wealthy family and her loyal bodyguard?"
"It seems Jiang Baizhi really is a delicate girl. That fierceness she showed just now was all acting! Amazing!"
Jiang Bai listened to the surrounding discussions, his heart filled with complex emotions.
"weak?"
"Delicate and soft?"
He glanced at his palm, which had 12 points of stamina.
Is there any possibility that...?
"You think I can kill a bull with one punch?"
However, looking at Director Lai Shui's satisfied expression that said "She is indeed a great actress with a strong sense of contrast," and the look in the eyes of the people around her that said "So she needs protection."
Jiang Bai silently accepted this situation.
"Alright."
"As long as we can sign a contract, as long as we can make money."
"What's wrong with me being a delicate flower just this once?"
He shrank slightly behind the muscular older man, making a gesture that said, "I'm weak and immature," and said to Director Lai Shui:
"Director Lai, this is my agent, Brother Qin... Brother Qin."
"You can talk to him about the contract. I'm a little tired and want to rest."
The muscular middle-aged man smiled slightly, revealing eight pearly white teeth, pulled a fountain pen from his pocket, and strode confidently toward Lai Shui.
"Director Lai, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I am Qin Meng."
"Regarding my artist's salary and benefits, shall we go over there... and have a more in-depth discussion?"
Meanwhile, Uncle Qin Meng was strode off with an air of nonchalance to his family, heading to check the contract details with the producer.
Jiang Bai, on the other hand, was surrounded by several makeup artists and costume designers, who treated her like a star, and escorted her into the VIP dressing room.
"Teacher Jiang, Director Lai said that since you've come all this way, let's take your costume photos today."
The stylist, a hairstylist known for his delicate, pinky-fingered manner, excitedly measured Jiang Bai with a tape measure.
"Let's shoot the women's costume first—Situ Jing!"
"This character is a princess from a previous dynasty. Although she has fallen into poverty and lived among commoners, her noble bearing and lively spirit cannot be hidden!"
After a lot of trouble.
When Jiang Bai changed into a pink and playful ancient costume and put on a lively hairstyle, she walked out from behind the curtain.
Director Lai Shui, who was sitting in front of the monitor drinking tea, suddenly stared wide-eyed.
"good!"
"Very good!"
Looking at the girl in front of him, who, despite wearing a pink dress, showed no signs of affectation but rather exuded a cleverness, Lai Shui couldn't help but sigh:
"Old Yu wasn't lying to me!"
"I've seen the character stills from 'Beauty's Rival in Palace,' and Empress Zhang Yan's stills are filled with extreme sorrow and heartbreak."
"But now..."
"Where is there even a trace of Zhang Yan now? She's a complete brat who doesn't know her place!"
"This versatility! He was practically born for the big screen!"
After finishing the photoshoot in women's clothing, Lai Shui waved his hand dismissively:
"Quick! Change into men's clothes!"
"This is the main event today—crayfish!"
"This is the essence of the show; whether the audience can believe the woman's cross-dressing will succeed depends entirely on this!"
.......
Inside the dressing room.
Jiang Bai looked at himself in the mirror, his hair ornaments removed, and was just about to reach for the white men's swordsman outfit.
Sudden.
The young female costume assistant next to her, blushing, hesitated and approached, holding a roll of white cloth in her hands.
"Um... Ms. Jiang Baizhi."
"Men's clothing needs to make them appear upright and straight, as you see..."
"Do you need my help?"
Jiang Bai paused for a moment, looking at the rolled-up strip of cloth:
"What is this?"
The assistant's voice became even softer:
"This is... a chest binder."
"To make the chest look flatter, more like a man."
"I see you're quite slender, but... cough cough, for the best effect, wouldn't it be better if you wrapped it up a bit?"
boom!
Jiang Bai felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively crossed his arms over his chest.
A chest binder?
I'm a grown man, flat-chested enough to run an aircraft carrier on a plane, why would I need to bind my chest?!
If you get all entangled with me and touch those one or two hard pectoral muscles, will I still be able to keep up with this vest?!
"No...no need!"
Jiang Bai's face flushed red with fright. He quickly waved his hands in refusal and shrank back as fast as he could.
"I can do it myself!"
"I'm not used to people touching my... body."
The assistant is still diligently fulfilling her duties:
"But Ms. Jiang Baizhi, if it's not wrapped tightly enough, there will be some unevenness in the shot, which will easily give it away..."
"No ups and downs!"
Jiang Bai panicked and, in order to protect his innocence, had no choice but to make a fool of himself.
He gritted his teeth and said in a tone that was both ashamed and resentful:
"No need to pester me!"
"I...I have small breasts."
"Really, it's so small, it's practically invisible."
"That is, what is commonly known as... an airport."
The assistant was stunned.
She looked at the goddess in front of her, who was as beautiful as an angel, and never expected that the other party could so frankly admit that she had a flat chest.
Is this... the openness of an artist?
