Chapter 53 The somewhat insecure male protagonist
That afternoon, Lin Yu and Meng Ziyi arrived at the hotel booked by the Condor Heroes crew.
As soon as I arrived at the hotel lobby, I saw Li Yitong already waiting for me.
"Ziyi, Lin Yu is here. I'll take you to your room," Li Yitong said happily upon seeing Lin Yu and Meng Ziyi.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Li!" Lin Yu replied politely.
"Sister Yitong, it's been a long time! You've become even more beautiful." Meng Ziyi happily stepped forward and gave Li Yitong a hug.
"No way! My sister's skin seems to have gotten even better. Do you guys have any juicy gossip from 'Grade One Graduation Season'?" Li Yitong led Meng Ziyi toward the elevator.
Lin Yu had no choice but to follow behind the two.
At this moment, a boy was standing not far behind Lin Yu.
He is Yang Xuwen, who plays Guo Jing in the drama.
He looked at Li Yitong, who was chatting and laughing with Lin Yu and Meng Ziyi.
My heart ached even more.
It seems like I'm the male lead.
Why isn't there anyone to greet us?
Lin Yu went up to the fifth floor.
The production crew arranged a single room for him, which was fully equipped.
Meng Ziyi's room is right across from Lin Yu's.
Li Yitong's room was right next to Lin Yu's room.
Fortunately, communication is relatively easy.
Lin Yu had just put his luggage away when his phone rang.
He looked up and saw that it was director Jiang Jiajun calling.
"Lin Yu, you need to prepare a sword dance routine and practice the theme song for the TV series. You need to perform at the opening ceremony tomorrow, so don't embarrass me," Jiang Jiajun said earnestly.
"Don't worry, Director Jiang, I will definitely do my best!" Lin Yu said confidently.
He hung up the phone.
It seems he'll be making an appearance at the opening ceremony again.
However, the Legend of the Condor Heroes had an investment of 200 million yuan.
The opening ceremony will likely be no less impressive than that of "Untouchable Lovers," and there will be plenty of media coverage.
After thinking about it, I decided to use the sword dance move that Bao Wenfeng performed at the audition that day.
It's sleek and elegant, yet possesses a certain sense of power.
As for the theme song "Who Have I Loved", he practiced it hundreds of times, so there's absolutely no need to worry.
The three of them had a simple dinner that evening, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
After all, I need to get up early tomorrow to do my makeup.
The opening ceremony of a period drama, where the characters are mostly in full makeup, is beneficial for the promotion of the TV series.
Lin Yu got up earlier.
This is his good habit.
It's not that he's particularly self-disciplined.
But when it comes to makeup, it's truly a case of the early bird catches the worm.
The makeup and costume design for period dramas takes at least an hour.
If you go late, the queue will be too long.
The entire crew will have to wait for you, and Director Jiang Jiajun won't be too happy about that.
Lin Yu washed his face and went to the hotel's dressing room.
The makeup artist who did his makeup was surnamed Zhou. She was a woman in her early thirties, very skilled, and very warm.
This time she's a real older sister.
"Lin Yu, you're here! You're dressed as Yang Kang, right?" Sister Zhou's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Yu, and she invited him to sit down.
"Good morning, Sister Zhou. Thank you for your help," Lin Yu said politely.
"No trouble at all, it's my pleasure to do your makeup." Sister Zhou said as she began to apply makeup to Lin Yu.
"Your face is so easy to do makeup on. You have great bone structure and a good foundation, so you look good no matter what you do."
Lin Yu smiled but didn't say anything.
The makeup process is lengthy, but Sister Zhou's skills are truly exceptional.
The base makeup, eyebrows, eyeliner, and hair – every step is meticulously crafted.
When she finally put on the hair crown and wore the white robe embroidered with gold thread.
Lin Yu stood in front of the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, and was momentarily stunned.
The person in the mirror has handsome features, deep eyes, and an innate air of nobility.
It's a natural quality that doesn't need to be deliberately displayed.
Just standing there gives off an aura of presence.
With the system's enhancement of "noble temperament," he looked like a young prince from the Jin Dynasty who had stepped out of a painting.
She is aloof and reserved, with a touch of detachment that keeps people at arm's length.
"Absolutely amazing!" Sister Zhou exclaimed, looking at her work.
"Lin Yu, with your look, no one would disagree that you're the most handsome in the whole show, right?"
"Sister Zhou, please don't say that. It would be bad if Guo Jing heard that," Lin Yu joked.
"Guo Jing? His appearance is nowhere near as good as yours," Sister Zhou said, pursing her lips.
Lin Yu shook his head and did not reply.
After putting on makeup, Lin Yu arrived at the hotel lobby to meet up.
The production team arranged several buses to take all the actors to the opening ceremony.
When Lin Yu arrived, there were already quite a few people standing in the lobby.
Then, he saw Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong.
The two people were standing together, talking with their heads down.
Meng Ziyi was wearing a light pink cross-collar long dress.
She wore a matching belt around her waist, her hair was styled into an exquisite bun, and adorned with several jade hairpins. Her whole demeanor was gentle and elegant, just like a lady from a prominent family.
Li Yitong wore a pale yellow dress, her hair styled in two buns, adorned with a few small yellow flowers.
Lively and playful, she's just like a little Huang Rong who came from Peach Blossom Island.
The two stood together, one gentle and graceful, the other lively and spirited, each with their own unique charm, complementing each other perfectly.
Lin Yu walked over, just about to say hello.
Meng Ziyi looked up and saw him, and was completely stunned.
Her hand froze in mid-air, her mouth slightly open.
She stared intently at Lin Yu, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
Li Yitong also raised her head.
Then, she was stunned.
The two of them just stared blankly at Lin Yu, completely forgetting to react.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Why are you two looking at me like that?" Lin Yu touched his face and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"No... Lin Yu, you... you are Yang Kang?" Meng Ziyi came to her senses, swallowed hard, and looked at Lin Yu to ask.
"Yeah, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Yu looked down at his outfit.
"This is a huge problem! My brother's aura is just too amazing!" Li Yitong exclaimed gently.
She was truly amazed.
She had seen Lin Yu's portrayal of Yang Kang during the audition.
But back then it was just a simple makeup trial, far from the sophisticated and complete process we see today.
Lin Yu is now flawless, from head to toe, in every detail.
The white robe was embroidered with dark gold thread, and a white jade belt was tied around the waist. The hair ornament was inlaid with silver thread.
The person standing there exuded an aura of nobility that made it difficult for others to look directly at them.
"Sister Yitong, please don't praise me too much, or I'll get carried away," Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Go ahead and drift, you have the right to drift," Li Yitong said gently.
Meng Ziyi stood to the side, feeling a pang of jealousy, but she had to admit that Lin Yu was indeed excessively handsome.
She secretly took out her phone and snapped a photo when Lin Yu wasn't looking.
Save it for later.
Just then, Yang Xuwen stepped out of the elevator.
He wore a gray-blue coarse cloth robe, his hair was simply tied up, and a plain cloth belt was tied around his waist.
The person looks...
How should I put it? It's very simple.
Very simple.
She was so plain-looking that standing next to Lin Yu, she looked like she had traveled from a different film crew.
Yang Xuwen walked into the lobby and immediately saw Lin Yu.
Then, he looked down at himself.
She looked up at Lin Yu again.
Then I looked down at myself.
He suddenly had an urge to go back to his room and change his clothes.
No, he didn't have any more luxurious clothes to change into.
This is Guo Jing's attire: coarse linen clothes, as simple as it could be.
Yang Xuwen kept reassuring himself.
This was arranged by the production team. I was playing Guo Jing, and Guo Jing is supposed to be simple and unpretentious, so I couldn't dress too extravagantly.
Yes, that's it.
It's not that I'm not handsome enough, it's just that the role requires it.
It must be so.
Yang Xuwen took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and walked over to greet everyone.
Good morning, you've all arrived.
"Good morning, Teacher Yang," Lin Yu replied politely.
"Teacher Yang, your outfit suits Guo Jing's temperament very well," Li Yitong said gently.
"Right? I think so too." Yang Xuwen felt a little better after hearing someone praise him.
But when he stood next to Lin Yu, that feeling of "I'm a country bumpkin" resurfaced.
There was no way around it; the contrast between their outfits was just too stark.
One was a young prince of the Jin Dynasty, dressed in fine clothes and exuding an air of nobility.
One was a boy from the grasslands, dressed in coarse linen, simple and unpretentious.
Standing together, they looked like a prince and a beggar.
Yang Xuwen silently moved two steps to the side, increasing the distance between himself and Lin Yu.
Why does he feel like he's the male lead?
Are you feeling a little inferior?
