“As such, Yan Jiayin’s character would be an innocent schoolgirl at the very beginning, but afterward, because of the changes in her environment, she got to know the dance hostess Ying Ying. She was still a student then. It was just because she got to know Ying Ying that the people she met and the environment she was in changed. Her world views changed. She got into the debauched world of drinks and entertainment, which was completely different from her small world at first.

“She started to feel conflicted and she struggled. She had materialistic desires, yet she did not want to become depraved as a result, because deep down, she still looked down on professions like that of a dance hostess, who made a living off of entertaining others and who also dealt with the risks of prostituting herself,” the screenwriter said. “You can try designing the makeup for Yan Jiayin’s character during this period.”

The context of the story was set in the period of the early Republic.

That was a period when celebrations of song and dance coexisted with scenes of devastation everywhere.

The rich indulged in debauchery, numbing themselves with drinks and entertainment, creating a facade of a prosperous world.

Yet between the alleys, beyond the city gates, corpses abound, people everywhere were ragged and shabby, and smoke filled the mountains.

An era of contradictions, that was what it was. Against this huge backdrop, Shi Xiaoya thought for a bit about Yan Jiayin’s character image for this period before she started to pick the makeup and colors she needed.

She knew that the screenwriter was helping her like this.

These details of the plot should have been kept confidential to begin with.

Or else, when the production crew contacted them, they would not only reveal the initial, basic image of the characters.
