Chapter 12 Slaying Men
Aesthetic sense is definitely not something you're born with; it's something you develop through training.
Even with beautiful women, many surgically enhanced faces are stunningly beautiful at first glance. But true beauty is not just about being pretty; it's about having a lasting appeal!
Moreover, it gets better the more you look at it, and it can withstand scrutiny!
Songs, calligraphy, paintings, and so on—good things are all worth listening to and looking at.
Wang Xiaohao is not only a time traveler, but also a director.
A good director needs to be cultured and knowledgeable about other arts, such as photography, painting, music, literature, and so on.
Therefore, Wang Xiaohao's aesthetic sense is not bad, and it can even be said to be quite advanced.
A few days later, when the female lead arrived at the film set for her costume fitting, she changed into the outfits that Wang Xiaohao had specially bought for her, and after a little hair and makeup work, she stunned everyone when she came out.
A beige turtleneck sweater revealed her long, slender neck. Skinny jeans and sneakers made her legs appear quite long.
Add to that her slightly wavy long hair, revealing a smooth forehead, her seemingly bare-faced makeup, and Wang Xiaoshuang's naturally pure and outstanding appearance, and she's a total heartbreaker for any straight man.
This outfit seems simple and unpretentious, and not aggressive at all. I can't speak for others, but it's definitely a guy-killer outfit, and specifically for straight men!
These are all basic pieces of clothing, without any extra colors, yet they are all full of texture. This made Wang Xiaoshuang's originally somewhat frivolous and impetuous temperament instantly calm down, making her look like a quiet begonia flower.
It clashes with the heavy bangs, exaggerated hairstyles, and various intricate patterns and decorative styles of this era!
Even Wang Xiaoshuang herself was surprised when she changed into this outfit!
She was originally very dissatisfied with the makeup and styling Wang Xiaohao had arranged. If Huang Anzhong hadn't said something to her a while ago, she probably would have turned on him on the spot!
But now, even Wang Xiaoshuang herself was amazed by her own appearance.
Wang Xiaohao asked her to do one more pose so that they could take a makeup photo, and Wang Xiaoshuang agreed without the slightest impatience.
Next, Wang Xiaohao changed her outfits several more times, each one completely out of step with the times.
Following a style that is simple yet sophisticated, Wang Xiaoshuang exudes an air of elegance.
The costume designers and makeup artists on the set initially didn't take Wang Xiaohao's statement seriously.
However, after seeing Wang Xiaoshuang's new look, they all admired Wang Xiaohao to the point of prostration and dared not say anything more.
That's how it is in professional matters; it's easy to compare who's capable and who's not!
Wang Xiaohao's designs were simply better than theirs, and they had no choice but to admit it.
Of course, these days, it's not so common to spend so much money just to prepare clothes for the female lead.
If it weren't for the amazing results Wang Xiaohao achieved, many people would probably think that he must have been taking kickbacks for spending tens of thousands of yuan on clothes!
This incident made Wang Xiaoshuang truly start to look at Wang Xiaohao in a new light!
Wang Xiaoshuang didn't really see the kind of management ability that Huang Anzhong mentioned regarding Wang Xiaohao's ability to manage the film crew.
However, she really admires Wang Xiaohao's styling skills!
After the photoshoot that day, Wang Xiaoshuang rolled up the clothes and took them home. Her style of dress gradually began to shift in that direction afterward.
Of course, that's all in the future!
In short, this time, by winning over the female lead, who was also a major financial backer, things on set became increasingly smooth.
Huang Anzhong even called Wang Xiaohao to ask if he had rented any filming equipment. If not, he said he had connections and could rent cheap and good equipment.
Given Huang Anzhong's connections, this is definitely not bragging.
Clearly, this also shows that Huang Anzhong has begun to have high hopes for Wang Xiaohao and is willing to invest more in him!
With Huang Anzhong's help, the crew's pre-production preparations were greatly accelerated.
The main issue was the filming location; there were several subway scenes in "My Sassy Girl".
Wang Xiaohao originally planned to move it to a bus or other locations.
After all, Wang Xiaohao didn't have the connections to get things done with the subway company!
However, Huang Anzhong stepped in and made a few phone calls, and the matter was resolved!
Then, the last thing left for the production team was casting!
The most important female lead in the entire drama has been decided; it will definitely be Wang Xiaoshuang.
Once this key figure is chosen, the other roles become less important!
Wang Xiaohao is willing to accept anyone the production company wants to cast, as long as they are roughly suitable.
Surprisingly, no one intended to insert anyone...
That's true; most Serbian characters are female.
The most outstanding character in the whole film is the female lead, but that role has already been taken by Wang Xiaoshuang.
There weren't many other outstanding female characters, so the big investors naturally didn't bother to include any.
As for the male lead being given to a second or third-tier actor because Wang Xiaoshuang did him a favor, Wang Xiaohao had no objection.
Anyway, this young actor only received 200,000 yuan in salary.
If this young actor is not satisfied and still wants a high salary, then he should go wherever he wants, Wang Xiaohao will definitely not serve him!
Wang Xiaohao would rather find new talent from the film academy and offer them tens of thousands of yuan; there would definitely be a lot of people vying for them!
It's impossible to offer millions to find the male lead!
However, on the other hand, if someone were willing to pay to be the male lead, Wang Xiaohao would definitely be willing!
After all, in the past, it got to the point where you had to bribe the production team to get a role!
As a result, what filled the big and small screens later on was a bunch of ugly people playing what they called handsome men and beautiful women.
But thinking about it, this kind of thing didn't just happen later in my previous life; it existed long ago.
In a film directed by a certain bearded man, the female lead gave shares in the studio, and the male lead apparently received over a million dollars...
This seems like it was all foreshadowed!
However, initially, one still needs to maintain a certain level of self-respect, at least ensuring that their own circumstances are similar before selecting those to pay.
Unlike later on, when people would abandon all sense of shame for money!
In this drama, no one is offering Wang Xiaohao money to play the male lead; he actually has to pay for the male lead himself. This just goes to show how low Wang Xiaohao's popularity is right now!
Wang Xiaohao was now even more motivated and determined to make a good film.
When vying for a role in my next film, someone was willing to pay to appear in my film!
The key to the drama "My Sassy Girl" lies in Wang Xiaoshuang.
Fortunately, although Wang Xiaoshuang's appearance and temperament are completely different from the female lead in her previous life, they are both the kind of actresses with a pure and charming appearance.
