“I feel that we should look at the styling before we shoot,” the Chinese male actor said while looking at Bo Jiu meaningfully. “This character is very important. If he can’t portray the aura of the character, the audience won’t be happy. It might affect the box office and the ratings of the movie.”

Everyone was stunned when he mentioned the box office and ratings. As someone involved in movies, these two areas were of utmost importance.

The director looked high and low for this person. If his presence wasn’t powerful enough to portray the character, thus destroying the original work, a huge wave of boycott would occur. This was a scenario no one wanted to see.

Thus, from a certain point of view, the Chinese male actor was right. The styling was crucial. However, he didn’t jump up to say this because he worried about the movie. He just wanted to take revenge for what Bo Jiu did to him. On the other hand, he could use this chance to please Alan too. So why not?

The director understood the hidden intention behind his words too and frowned. He felt that since they were both Chinese, they should get along well. Instead, this was the actor that caused him to be in a dilemma.

All the other actors were watching them.

He wanted the director to take a step back.

The director wasn’t someone easy to bully. He squinted at the Chinese actor and opened his mouth. But before he could say anything, Bo Jiu walked to the assistant and asked in a youthful, pleasant, and alluring tone, “Where do I go for the styling?”

“Huh?” The assistant wanted to thank this sensible and thoughtful young man sincerely. If the director really got mad, the situation would get very awkward. It was fortunate that the youngster stepped just in time.

“Over here. This way please.” The assistant quickly lifted her hand and led the way.

Bo Jiu followed behind her

The stylist of this movie was very famous in his industry. Honestly, at the start, he didn’t have much expectation of Bo Jiu.

Bo Jiu walked in. The stylist looked at the pair of pure black eyes. It was cold and mysterious.

He raised his eyebrows and asked the assistant, “What happened?”

“Maybe he’s getting into his character beforehand?” This was the only conclusion the assistant could give as the aura of the youngster had changed slightly. She couldn’t explain the vibe she gave off. It just felt mysterious.

The stylist started with the makeup first. When he touched the youngster’s face, he realized that he didn’t need any foundation cream. The young man’s skin was amazing. It was fair, smooth, and cool to touch. It reminded people of the porcelain from China.

Bo Jiu noticed that the stylist stopped moving so she looked up slightly. The mole at the corner of her eyes was revealed. “Is there something wrong?”

“Cough, nothing.” The stylist was stunned. He wouldn’t admit that he lost his senses when he looked at the youngster just now. There were many handsome people in this field but it was hard to find someone like him who had the aura of a vampire.

He was very fair and his eyes were extremely black. His eyelashes and nose bridge were perfect. And his lips in particular; they were very pale.

The stylist suddenly felt that he must do the makeup seriously.

Actually, there wasn’t much to be done. He used the eyeliner to draw on the upper eyelid and highlighted his T-zone. All of this was to allow his features to stand out even more. It had to be said that some kind of makeup really allowed people to look distant and cold.

When the stylist stood at the side and looked at his end product, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He couldn’t imagine what the youngster would look like after putting on his costume.

Meanwhile, the assistant was still waiting outside. She was a little agitated.

There was an online post mentioning that someone was going to act as this character. It was obvious that the response was bad. After all, there were a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes.

The assistant knew that no matter who acted as this character, there would be unsatisfied opinions. However, if they looked for a famous actor, the objection might be smaller. For instance, now…

The assistant looked at the comments and rubbed her head. It hurt.

“They’re asking a Chinese actor to act in this role? Are you sure?”

“I feel that it’s alright to find a Chinese actor. The character did come from China. It was written clearly in the novel. Most importantly, I heard that this actor doesn’t have any acting skill and his presence is weak.”

“Weak presence? Oh my god! Don’t destroy my idol!”

“Honestly, I hope they change the actor.”

“It can’t be helped. I was prepared to go and watch the movie but now, my interest is gone.”

The comments online were all bad but this was normal because everyone had much anticipation for their idol.

As an assistant, she should remind the director about this. Hence, the assistant ran over and showed the director her phone.

“Someone leaked the information?” The director was very smart. He immediately sensed something amiss. After all, only few people knew that he invited Jiu to take this role.

The assistant lowered her voice and replied, “That’s not the main problem. We should be worried if the actor you found can pass the fundamental test.”

Alan was standing at the side. He could see the director’s unhappy face.

He glanced at his phone and smiled proudly. Then he looked at the Chinese actor. “Aren’t you afraid of getting scolded for dealing with someone from your hometown?”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. I didn’t do anything. I just let everyone know what is happening.” This male actor pretended to be innocent but he was actually a narrow-minded person.

However, Alan liked how he chose to stand on the stronger side based on the circumstances. This was how a Chinese pig should act.

The atmosphere was tense. The assistant kept raising her arm to look at the time.

There were a lot of staff members here. Only those people who were currently filming were at another location. Thus, most of the people were here, including a few main actors.

The assistant was worried that the final result was bad. If that happened, the director…

Before she could imagine what might happen, she was dumbstruck. The instant she looked up, the hand that was holding her phone stopped in mid-air too. Her mouth opened wide. Surprise could be seen all over her face.

As everyone followed her gaze, they saw a tall figure wearing a black trench coat entering their line of vision. Slowly, the youngster walked out from the dark. Her silver hair was mostly covered up by the hood from her coat and her face could only be seen faintly. It was handsome, cold, and had a tinge of devilish aura. She pulled the white t-shirt under the trench coat to the side.

The youngster didn’t get overwhelmed by the clothes. Instead, she wore them perfectly. The most important part was her eyes. They were so dark they looked mysterious.
