Chapter 1308: You’re Also Called Luo Luo?
The second female lead was previously announced as a somewhat experienced secondary actress. Although she’s playing a villain, we’ve heard her acting skills are great, and Yun Qiluo wanted to learn from her.
But since she didn’t come, there’s not much more to ask about.
On the first day, there weren’t any scenes scheduled for her; her main task was to try on makeup.
The makeup artist used was from the film crew, and was quite experienced in this field.
Yan Yan initially planned to hire a personal makeup artist for her, but Luo Luo flatly refused. She felt any makeup artist would be the same, and paying a high price for a few touches on her face... she’d rather spend it on buying cat food.
This crew supposedly has very experienced makeup artists who have worked with various A-list celebrities... Actually, the application process is quite similar, except they won’t be stumped when faced with Yun Qiluo’s face.
After all, Xue Yao is a very distinctive character, and she’s an assassin, while Yun Qiluo’s natural appearance is slightly sweet.
Besides, she’s been well taken care of at the Yan Family recently, indulging in good food and drinks, looking quite healthy. So the makeup artist used the palest foundation shade to make her complexion look a bit pale.
Then, they applied eyeliner and brushed her eyelashes, adding a touch of aggressiveness.
Even so, the makeup artist couldn’t help but marvel at her skin tone and facial features while working.
Yun Qiluo realized that people in the film industry, if nothing else, are very good at giving compliments, praising so much that she felt embarrassed.
She then changed into a pure black ancient costume with the help of the staff, which was completely different from the palace maid outfit she wore previously. The costume was tighter, making her look even more petite.
When she stepped out, the director glanced at her makeup and attire and was particularly pleased.
He even sent a message to Xue Fan, complimenting his judgment in choosing her.
Xue Fan, who was wrapping up the filming of another drama, received the message and felt quite smug, immediately praising Yun Qiluo in that drama’s group chat.
On the first day, Yun Qiluo spent her time watching others film.
She got her scenes on the second morning.
It was a scene with Luo Nianqing, so the two of them went over their lines first to prepare for the formal shoot.
While rehearsing the scene, Luo Nianqing even asked his assistant to buy lots of milk tea and fruit tea, all ice-cold, perfect for summer.
Knowing Yun Qiluo likes fruit tea, he specially instructed the assistant to leave the largest cup for her.
With a smile, he said, "Hope you like it."
Yun Qiluo sipped the cold fruit tea, her eyes contentedly squinting: "Thank you!"
Luo Nianqing observed her for a moment and then said, "You’re so cute. Once the drama airs, you’re definitely going to be popular."
His tone was sincere and his demeanor particularly friendly, seemingly even easier to get along with than rumors suggested, living up to the "national first love" title.
Yun Qiluo, sipping the fruit tea he bought, now saw him through a filter: "Thank you, you’re very cute too!"
After a flawless round of mutual compliments.
Luo Nianqing couldn’t help but chuckle, looking down at the script for a while before asking her:
"By the way, how should I address you? I can’t always call you Xue Yao, and calling you by your full name seems a bit impolite."
Yun Qiluo replied in a childish tone, "You can just call me Luo Luo."
"Luo Luo?" Luo Nianqing paused, slightly surprised, raising his eyebrows and then laughed, "What a coincidence. My friends also call me Luo Luo, but mine is from my last name, whereas yours should be from the last character of your name, right?"
