Chapter 62 You two know each other?
She couldn't help but curse inwardly: This brat, he gives her the feeling that he's going to take everything and get something for nothing, he's getting more and more cunning!
"Never mind, you can't escape from the group anyway." Yang Mi gently pushed him. "Come and talk to me when you have time."
"Hey?? Mimi, what are you all doing here? Do you know each other??"
A deep voice came from behind. Zheng Baorui strode over, followed by a man in his fifties with gray hair and wearing round-framed glasses.
Zheng Baorui was wearing a dark gray work jacket today, holding a roll of storyboards in his hand. When he saw Yang Mi and Su Yu standing together talking, he paused noticeably, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes behind his black-rimmed glasses.
"It's more than just knowing each other." Yang Mi turned around, smiled at Zheng Baorui, and said in a meaningful tone.
Zheng Baorui raised an eyebrow slightly.
He glanced at Yang Mi, who was known in the industry for being shrewd and assertive. Would she really chat with an unknown newcomer?
Wait, something's not right! She seems to know Su Yu quite well.
He glanced at Dilraba again, the newcomer whom Yang Mi had personally mentored. She was standing next to Su Yu, leaning slightly towards him, looking at him with pride.
The expression on her face clearly said, "Do you know how amazing my brother is?"
Oh? A little fangirl is here?
Zheng Baorui was startled.
Su Yu, isn't he just a newcomer?
Wasn't he able to come to "The Lost Tomb" initially because Wang Changtian protected him? Although he is indeed capable, now, it seems that Yang Mi and Dilraba are not just ordinary acquaintances with him?
Especially Dilraba's eyes, something's off!
Having been in the industry for so many years, what kind of relationships hasn't he met? For Yang Mi to describe someone as "more than just someone she knows," it's impossible that they've only met a few times.
What kind of background does this kid have?
However, Zheng Baorui did not show his surprise.
He pushed up his glasses, turned to the gray-haired man behind him, and said, "Yongchang, this is Su Yu, the one I told you about."
Luo Yongchang pushed up his round-framed glasses and stepped forward.
This veteran Hong Kong director is known in the industry for his demanding requirements on visual quality and action scenes. Many actors have suffered greatly while filming action scenes under his direction.
Because Su Yu didn't show up for the crew yesterday, he didn't have a good impression of Su Yu.
Although filming only started today, isn't it only right to arrive on set a day early and get to know everyone?
This kid is something else, arriving right on time, and acting all high and mighty.
He had already figured out how to "train" this newcomer yesterday.
His gaze fell on Su Yu, scrutinizing him from head to toe. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, and his posture was both upright and relaxed. He was better than any of the actors he had ever seen audition for the role of Zhang Qiling.
He suddenly felt an indescribable attraction, as if the young man was surrounded by some kind of invisible magnetic field, making him want to take a few more glances.
"His image is indeed quite good."
Luo Yongchang nodded, his tone calm, but his eyes brightened slightly.
"However, for the character Zhang Qiling, good looks alone aren't enough; the action scenes..."
"Yongchang," Zheng Baorui patted his shoulder, interrupting him with a smile.
"I know what you're thinking. This kid's action scenes will definitely be to your liking!"
"I'm afraid there's no time now. How about I have him call you this afternoon?"
Luo Yongchang's eyebrows finally twitched. He looked Su Yu over again, his gaze now filled with scrutiny and anticipation.
"Image is one thing, fighting ability is another," he said, "and temperament is yet another. Have you studied Zhang Qiling? Zhang Qiling's temperament..."
Luo Yongchang didn't seem to have any intention of letting Su Yu off the hook, and continued to ask questions.
"The young man's temperament is a kind of aloofness that comes from having seen too much and carried too much burden, so he keeps everything hidden in his heart. He is human, yet he has divinity; he has divinity, yet he is ultimately a person who bleeds. But he is used to keeping everything in his heart," Su Yu continued.
That's why everyone calls him "Silent Bottle".
Luo Yongchang paused for a moment, then a slight smile finally appeared on his lips: "You've read the original work?"
"I watched the whole series in one go during college, and that guy is my absolute favorite!"
Luo Yongchang turned to look at Zheng Baorui and nodded slightly, which could be interpreted as some approval.
Zheng Baorui gestured towards Yang Mi with his lip and whispered something in her ear. Luo Yongchang's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's have dinner together as a crew tonight. We'll send out a notification later."
Zheng Baorui waved his hand and said, "But now, Su Yu, go get your makeup done first. The stylist has been waiting all morning. Let's do a makeup test first, and then we'll do a scene rehearsal. I want to see how Zhang Qiling feels standing in front of the camera."
The dressing room is located at the far end of the photography studio. It is a temporary prefabricated building, but it is decorated quite professionally.
Three mirrors, bright lighting, and shelves neatly stacked with various makeup brushes, foundation, and hairspray.
When Su Yu pushed open the door, the three makeup artists inside were chatting.
"I heard the props team made three versions of the Black Gold Ancient Sword, and finally settled on the heaviest one. I wonder if the actor playing the young master can handle it..."
The speaker was a woman in her early thirties with a few strands of burgundy hair dyed. Her name tag read "Makeup Team Leader - Wang Xiao".
Her words came to an abrupt halt the moment Su Yu pushed open the door.
The three makeup artists turned around at the same time, and then froze in place.
Standing at the door was a young man who was over 1.8 meters tall. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a commanding presence. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his proportions were so good that they seemed unreal.
"Hello everyone, I'm here for the costume fitting. My name is Su Yu, and I will be playing Zhang Qiling."
Su Yu greeted him politely.
The silence lasted for a full three seconds.
Then Sister Wang suddenly stood up, almost dropping her makeup brush into the foundation bottle.
"Oh my, I've been waiting for this forever! The delivery guy has finally arrived!"
The three makeup artists looked at each other, then burst into a commotion that they tried to suppress but could not completely quell.
"My goodness, we were guessing who would play the role of the young master yesterday, and it turns out to be such a handsome guy!"
"That's so cool!!"
"It's so edgy, I don't know how to describe it!"
"Let me tell you, he's even more handsome than Lu Han!"
The youngest makeup artist, a girl with her hair in a bun, spoke softly but urgently to her colleague.
"If you ask me, Lu Han is different. He's beautiful, a refined kind of beauty. He's handsome, the kind of handsome that, um..."
Sister Wang sized Su Yu up and down, trying to find the right word: "He's the kind of handsome that makes women want to be picked up and carried away with one hand!"
The young girl nodded vigorously. Although Sister Wang's description was a bit suggestive, that's really what she thought now...
If only I could be lifted up...
Su Yu, of course, had no idea what they were talking about. Seeing them chattering incessantly, he coughed lightly.
"Teachers, may we begin?"
"Oh, right! Let's begin!" Sister Wang snapped out of her daze and quickly patted the makeup chair. "Come on, sit here~"
