Chapter 39 Red Robes Fluttering, Jade Hairpin Swaying Slightly!
"No!"
"I absolutely cannot let the stylist touch my head!"
Just as Zhuang Han was about to push him toward the dressing table, the stylist over there was already eager to try with a comb and hairspray.
Jiang Bai had a sudden inspiration.
His gaze swept over the messy dressing table.
It instantly locked onto something.
A jade hairpin that is entirely emerald green and has a simple design.
"etc!"
Jiang Bai suddenly spoke, his voice clear and cold, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Zhuang Han and the stylist were both stunned.
"What's wrong, beautiful?" The stylist asked, holding a comb and looking bewildered.
Jiang Bai remained silent.
He walked straight to the dressing table, stretched out his slender fingers, and picked up the jade hairpin.
Then I twirled it in my hand.
"No need for that."
"Use this one."
The stylist panicked: "Oh dear, beautiful lady, this won't do!"
"You're playing the most beautiful courtesan in the capital! The number one courtesan in the city!"
"One must be adorned with jewels, wear gold hairpins, and adorn oneself with large red flowers; one must exude an air of overwhelming wealth!"
"Just a hairpin? Wouldn't that make you look like a Taoist nun?"
Jiang Bai turned around, looked at the stylist, and a faint sneer appeared on his lips.
"Is wealth overwhelming?"
"She's just a common, ordinary woman."
"A true courtesan sells artistry, elegance, and the allure of a mere lowered head!"
"Among a group of women adorned with gold and silver jewelry."
"Only the simplest and most elegant one is the most eye-catching!"
"This is called—the greatest truths are the simplest!"
As he spoke.
Jiang Bai raised his hand.
Although he doesn't know those complicated hair-styling techniques.
But the aesthetic intuition contained in the "master-level makeup skills" allowed him to know how to handle this wig.
He casually grabbed the long hair at the back of his head and deftly tied it into a loose yet neat bun.
The movements were fluid and elegant.
then.
He inserted the jade hairpin diagonally into his hair bun.
I didn't use a single hair tie or spray any hairspray.
Black hair, jade hairpin, red dress.
Three-color contrast.
A strong, sophisticated, and captivating classical beauty instantly washes over you!
"alright."
Jiang Bai lowered his hand and smiled slightly at his reflection in the mirror.
"This is the true courtesan."
The stylist's mouth dropped open, and the comb in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Speechless.
Impressed.
I'm completely convinced!
This kind of temperament, this kind of aesthetic, it's as if the word "high-class" is engraved on its forehead!
indeed.
If you were to give her a big red flower in her hair, it would ruin her natural beauty.
Zhuang Han, who was standing next to him, stared wide-eyed.
"high!"
"That's brilliant!"
"Beautiful lady, did you study ancient costume styling before? Your skills are amazing!"
Jiang Bai calmly replied evasively, "I know a little, I know a little."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense."
"Isn't the director in a hurry? Let's go."
All he wants now is to finish filming quickly, get the money quickly, and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
……
Back on set again.
The director was using a megaphone to yell and curse at a group of extras:
"Cheer up, all of you!"
"When the courtesan comes out later, you guys need to act that amazed look, that look of someone who's never seen anything like it before!"
"Anyone who acts like a block of wood won't get chicken legs in their lunchbox tonight!"
They were cursing.
Zhuang Han led Jiang Bai in.
"Director! The costume is done!"
The director frowned and turned around: "So fast? It's only been a few minutes? Is it...?"
He got stuck again on the second half of the sentence.
He looked at Jiang Bai, who was dressed in red and wore a jade hairpin.
It was as if he had been frozen in place.
The once noisy film set seemed to have been muted.
This is a film and television city.
The surrounding area is full of antique-style buildings, with red walls, green tiles, and flying eaves and brackets.
But those are all dead, just sets.
But when Jiang Bai stood there...
Everything seems to have come alive!
He is like someone who has stepped out of an ancient painting from a thousand years ago.
That red dress, even without a head full of jewels, was more dazzling than any jewelry!
Among them, the jade hairpin on her head is the finishing touch!
"this……"
The director took a deep breath, feeling that his aesthetic sense had been completely refreshed.
"Who designed this look?"
"I want to give him an extra chicken leg!"
Zhuang Han quickly took credit: "The beautiful lady did it herself! She said it's called 'the greatest truths are the simplest!'"
"What a profound truth – simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!"
The director slapped his thigh, his beard trembling with excitement.
"A genius!"
"This is the level a top-tier courtesan should reach!"
He quickly waved:
"Quick, quick! Beautiful lady, come here!"
"Let me tell you about the play!"
Jiang Bai lifted her skirt and walked over.
The director was incredibly kind and approachable, treating her like a long-lost daughter.
"Um... the script is very simple."
"You don't need to be nervous."
"You'll come down that second-floor staircase in a bit."
"It's like taking a walk in your own backyard."
"These people below are all your admirers, but you look down on them."
"In your eyes, there's only... well, only that detached indifference that comes from seeing through the world, and a hint of alluring smile."
"Walk to the middle, stop for a moment, and look back at the camera."
"Then keep walking, there's only one line."
The director flipped through the script and pointed to a line:
"Young master, the wine is getting cold."
"Just these five words!"
"Will it work?"
Jiang Bai glanced at the simple movement diagram.
My heart was filled with joy.
That's it?
Take two steps, say five words, and get a thousand dollars?
This money is so easy to make!
This is outrageous!
"No problem, director."
Jiang Bai nodded, his voice clear and crisp:
"I've memorized it all."
"Let's get started, the sooner we finish filming, the sooner we can call it a day."
The director was taken aback.
That girl is decisive!
He likes actors who don't dawdle!
"Alright! All departments, get ready!"
"Lights! Camera! Extras!"
"Silence!"
"3! 2! 1!"
"Action!"
As the clapperboard fell.
Jiang Bai took a deep breath.
[Intermediate Acting Skills] Activated!
With his intermediate acting skills, combined with his outfit and 9 points of charm, playing a courtesan is a complete game-changer!
He stood on the second-floor railing.
They weren't in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he first reached out and gently stroked the vermilion railing.
His movements were sluggish and careless.
then.
He tilted his head slightly and glanced downwards.
That instant.
The extras who were just pretending to act suddenly felt like they'd been electrocuted!
What kind of look was that?
It was like looking at a group of ants, or a flock of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Arrogant, yet irresistibly alluring!
Jiang Bai made a move.
He slowly walked down the stairs.
Every step was taken with extreme steadiness and lightness.
The red skirt flowed with her steps, like a burning flame!
I walked to the corner of the stairs.
He stopped.
As instructed by the director, I glanced back at the camera.
That one glance.
There wasn't much of an expression on his face.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly by a millimeter.
A half-smile.
That "wanting to say something but holding back" attitude gave the director behind the monitor goosebumps!
"Holy crap..."
The director couldn't help but swear.
"That camera presence... is amazing!"
"Old Zhuang, where did you find this person? It's not some celebrity, is it?"
Jiang Bai continued walking down.
She approached the male actor who played the wealthy young master.
The male actor had even prepared his lines.
As a result, Jiang Bai stared at him from such close range.
His mind went completely blank, he forgot all his lines, and all he could do was stare at him dumbfounded.
Jiang Bai didn't care.
He reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table.
It shook gently.
then.
Her lips parted slightly, her voice soft and sweet:
"Young master."
"The wine is cold."
Five words.
His pronunciation was clear and precise, with a hint of languidness at the end.
Done.
He gently pushed the wine glass towards the stunned male actor opposite him.
Then she turned around, leaving the camera with a stunningly beautiful back view.
A red dress flutters in the breeze, a jade hairpin sways gently!
