After getting back together with my ex, I became popular

"Better than I thought."

Xu Xiaodong glanced at Xu Chen, but didn't finish his sentence: "The emotional level has come out. When it's time for the official shooting, if someone plays with you, you should be able to perform better."

"Are you confident that you can play this role well?"

"Yes." Xu Chen smiled, his eyes were open and clear: "The confidence is all given by me, and I will definitely do my best to interpret this role well."

Only then did Xu Xiaodong show his first smile during the whole audition process. He picked up a pen beside him and wrote on the notebook while saying, "Okay, then you and Xiao Liu go to the studio to try on makeup. Will contact you again."

Xu Chen likes this straight-to-the-point feeling. Xu Xiaodong seems to be a very straightforward director. Basically, he is not satisfied, and you can tell from his expression.He stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you director and other teachers."

The studio that Xu Xiaodong talked about is in a building opposite the hotel, and it takes only two or three minutes to walk.

While waiting for the elevator, the assistant Xiao Liu gave him a general introduction to the situation, saying that the makeup studio that cooperated with their crew this time has taken over the looks of several star TV series, and it specializes in ancient costumes.The owner, Yang Fan, resigned two years ago and set up a new business. Although it has just started, it has a pretty good reputation in the industry.

The elevator reached the sixth floor, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a group of people rushing past him pushing the hangers: "Here we come, Teacher Yuan's clothes are here."

"Hurry up, Teacher Yuan's time is very precious. You can't afford to waste it!" At the end of the corridor, a person stomped his feet and waved in.

Going further inside, there is a hustle and bustle of people talking, but it is basically the discussion and communication about design.

"...I think his clothes should be more heavy-duty. The wide-sleeved design is good-looking, but a capable martial artist wouldn't wear it like that."

"Clothing should serve the characters."

"Then let's delete the disheveled hair and change it to a high ponytail. What do you think?"

The whole studio is in a fast-paced and busy state.

In the corner stood a row of mannequins that were as tall as a person, some of which were hung with rulers and fabrics, and some were already wearing finished garments.Pictures and various assembly and design tools were scattered on the desk, and some people even sat cross-legged on the carpet, seemingly splicing delicate items such as crowns and hair accessories.

"Sister Yang." Xiao Liu called forward, "The person who plays Li Yuanjing has brought it."

The woman named Sister Yang raised her head from the work table, and her eyes lit up when she saw the two of them: "Coincidentally, I was just thinking about when you will arrive."

Xiao Liu said with a smile, "Isn't this why I came here in a hurry after hearing your inner voice."

"Only you kid can talk."

Sister Yang pushed the chair away with a smile and stood up, her eyes fell on Xu Chen, and she stretched out her hand, "Isn't it Xu Chen, hello, I'm Yang Fan, you're just like Xiao Liu, just call me Sister Yang."

Xu Chen shook his hand back: "Hello, Sister Yang, I'm Xu Chen."

"The appearance is very good. I thought so when Director Xu showed me your photos a few days ago. Now there is a popular word... tearing the book boy, right?"

Yang Fan seems to be a hot-tempered person, and he is straightforward when he praises him, without any airs.She led the two of them into a dressing room, and said, "Wait here, I'll get someone to help Xu Chen put on makeup."

After she closed the door and went out, Xiao Liu secretly revealed the truth to Xu Chen again, saying that before Yang Fan resigned, he was the most powerful costume designer in their company, and the looks of the last few star dramas had already made the studio famous. It came out, and this time it was also thanks to her personal relationship with Director Xu that she was able to take on the web drama again.

That afternoon, Xu Chen sat in front of the makeup mirror for nearly two hours, nervously waiting for his first costume look

First he found the golden section of his forehead, then glued the headgear, then hemmed it, and finally made him a small beauty tip.

The make-up artist helped him adjust the hair band and high ponytail for the last time, gave a ring to indicate that it was done, and exclaimed, "This hairstyle suits you so well."

"is it?"

Xu Chen tilted his head left and right, looking at himself in the mirror, he felt a little uncomfortable, especially now that he was still wearing a modern white T-shirt with a printed logo, which seemed a bit nondescript no matter how he looked at it.

"Of course. It's so suitable. You must trust the eyes of professionals." The makeup artist straightened his head and gestured, "Your appearance is quite standard, with three courts and five eyes, which is completely different from ancient costumes." Yes, I have a hunch that a new peak in my career is coming!"

"Sit here and see if there is anything you want to modify or adjust. I'll go get the clothes." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out the door excitedly.

Xu Chen is still a little unaccustomed to it. After all, he has been a modern person for more than [-] years. Especially in the past few weeks, his hair was so short that it almost sticks to his scalp. It is really strange that he suddenly has black hair all over his head.

He took out his phone, turned on the camera, and took a closer look.

The make-up artist helped him press down his brows, and the tails of his brows flew up and slanted into his temples. The eye makeup was not obvious, but the corners of his eyes were faint, and a very thin and small line of eyeliner came out.

It was Xu Chen's first time to put on such makeup. After watching it for a long time, his mind went blank. He had no opinion and couldn't think of any opinions.

Why don't you ask someone else to check it for me...Xu Chen clicked on WeChat, stared at the contact for a long time, swiped up and down several times, and finally clicked on the top profile picture , sent a sentence "Are you free?" in the past.

Every time Ji Fei responded to the message, Xu Chen had just pressed the black phone, and the new message notification popped up.

[X: "Available."]

[X: "What's wrong?"]

Xu Chen read the two messages for a while, pursed his lips, and typed a line.

[Xu: "I did the costume modeling."]

Then he turned on the camera again, raised it to "click" above his eyebrows, took a photo and sent it to Ji Fei.

Xu Chen originally wanted to say, let the other party help him see what needs to be adjusted and give some advice. After all, Ji Fei should have more experience in this area.

But just after entering the five words "you come and help me read" in the input box, the door of the dressing room was suddenly pushed open.

The sound of "creak" made Xu Chen's hands tremble in fright, and subconsciously buckled the phone face down on the chair.

He turned his head and saw the make-up artist holding a set of clothes, standing at the door hurriedly and waving to Xu Chen: "The first set of clothes, hurry up, come and try it on."

Xu Chen glanced at the phone and said, "I haven't figured out what to modify."

"It's okay." The makeup artist hilariously said, "I'll just say something casually, why are you so serious. Come on, change your clothes first, the photographer and the others are already in place."

"Oh, good." Xu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, finally nodded and followed out in a few steps.

Trying on costumes is also a time-consuming process. Not only do you have to change clothes all the time, but you also have to do different poses under the requirements of the art styling director.Coincidentally, there happened to be one of Li Yuanjing's riding outfit with a longbow in his hand and a quiver on his back. Xu Chen was also praised for his tall and straight figure and standard movements.

After the photoshoot of the fitting and styling, Xiao Liu stayed on the scene to communicate with Director Xu and Yang Fan about some detailed adjustments to the styling, and asked Xu Chen to go back to the dressing room to change his clothes.

Xu Chen was wearing a dark blue cross-collar riding and shooting suit embroidered with dark patterns, with a wide belt around his waist and narrow sleeves.Wearing several layers of clothes, he is a little hot now, and hurried back.

When he was about to reach the corner of the corridor, the door of a dressing room in front suddenly opened, and someone came out carrying things and shouting "Let me go."

Xu Chen hurriedly dodged to the right, and subconsciously looked back, but he didn't pay attention to the front, and directly bumped into the person who came out of the corner.

The accident was too sudden, Xu Chen's face was stuck on his collar, and his nose hurt a little from being bumped.In order to stabilize his balance, he raised his hand and circled the opponent's waist, his fingertips slightly gathered to grab the clothes.

After about three to five seconds, after the moment when his mind went blank, Xu Chen smelled a very clear and cold woody fragrance.

He frowned, feeling that something was wrong, because the smell was so familiar——

He even smelled it by Ji Fei's side before going out.

Xu Chen:? !

He let go with a "swish", stood up straight, jumped back a few steps, and then saw a very handsome face.

Ji Fei met his surprised gaze and reddish eye sockets, his eyes darkened, and his voice sank: "Why are you walking so carelessly, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Xu Chen shook his head, rubbing his sore nose: "No, why are you here?"

Ji Fei: "Didn't you ask me to come?"

Xu Chen said "ah", "When did I let you come?"

Ji Fei took out his mobile phone, opened the chat interface between the two of them and handed it to Xu Chen: "Didn't you ask me to take a look at it for you?"

Xu Chen looked at the screen in bewilderment: "What..."

However, the second half of the sentence stopped abruptly before he could say it, and he swallowed it back forcibly.

The hammer on the phone screen is just too hard.

Xu Chen saw clearly and plainly that he had sent Ji Fei five characters.

[Xu: "Come and help me see."]

Right after that photo.

"......"

He turned his gaze away and smiled dryly, "You may not believe me when I say it, but I actually sent it out because of my slippery hands."

"It's pretty." Ji Fei said suddenly.

Xu Chen reacted a little too late: "What looks good?"

"The clothes look good." Ji Fei smiled lowly, and leaned over with lowered eyes: "The color suits you very well."

The deep and mellow voice came to the ears, with a little smile that hadn't dissipated, scattered in the surrounding air, making people's ears numb and a little hot.

"..."

Xu Chen's eyelids twitched, and he opened his mouth. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps coming towards him.

There should be more than one person.

Oops.

If he is seen here with Ji Fei......

Xu Chen didn't have time to think about it for a while, looked around, grabbed Ji Fei's arm, and quickly flashed into a small workshop on the side of the corridor.

With a very slight "bang", the door was closed.

Xu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and turned around, but he didn't even feel his breath when he realized that he had made a very, extremely, extremely wrong decision.

——This place is really too narrow.
