This director lacks vision.

Chapter 132 Cat Woman
At 7 p.m., most of the crew members had finished get off work.

The studio was still brightly lit.

Jiang Yifeng went to a restaurant for dinner before returning to the studio with Shu Chang. There, he saw Liu Yifei, who was already dressed and made up, sitting in a chair with her script in her hand.

Her hair was disheveled, she wore a white dress, and her face was only lightly made up with a touch of makeup.

At first glance, she does indeed appear as ethereal and aloof as a fairy.

Jiang Yifeng dimmed the lights in the studio, and when Liu Yifei looked up, she really did look like a white-clad female ghost.

Jiang Yifeng asked, "Is this the makeup and styling from the 'A Chinese Ghost Story' movie crew?"

The new version of A Chinese Ghost Story was officially announced a long time ago, and the character posters were released in April.

Liu Yifei nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly it."

Jiang Yifeng sighed and commented, "What a clumsy imitation. It would be better to just copy Wang Zuxian's makeup and styling."

They're either disheveled or female ghosts.

Wang Zuxian's look in the version of A Chinese Ghost Story is very varied, and a lot of thought was put into the details, especially the scene where her hair is blown around by the wind, which is both alluring and beautiful.

Liu Yifei's makeup relies entirely on her face; it's no wonder this is a money-making project—they really cut corners wherever possible.

From this perspective, Liu Yifei really needs a Zhang Jizong to make more blowers.

Although it was deliberate, it is indeed beautiful, at least better than the current blandness.

Liu Yifei explained, "In order to pass the censorship, I changed the setting of my version of A Chinese Ghost Story. She is no longer a female ghost, but a raccoon demon."

"A raccoon demon? Why don't you do something more interesting with your makeup and costume?"

"What do you mean?"

“If a movie is destined to be a bad movie, the best thing you can do is to make the characters look good and shoot more beautiful scenes.” Jiang Yifeng said directly, “If you dress up as a pretty fairy, you can at least do justice to the audience who bought tickets to the movie theater and salvage some of the reputation.”

When the topic of cat demons came up, Jiang Yifeng immediately thought of Liu Yifei's upcoming movie, The Second Generation Fairy.

Although the movie was bad, at least Liu Yifei's fairy look was beautiful, and her appearance was pleasing to the eye, so it was somewhat worth the ticket price.

Seeing that Liu Yifei remained silent, Jiang Yifeng continued, "The first step in character creation is makeup and styling. With your bland attire, you have nothing to do with charm."

Let me redo it for you.

Liu Yifei asked curiously, "You can do makeup?"

"I know a little bit about it. I'm very good at braiding hair and making small accessories."

Jiang Yifeng led Liu Yifei to the dressing room, had her sit in a chair, and then began to braid her hair.

He possesses two great talents: dexterity and weaving; his hands are incredibly nimble.

In no time, they styled Liu Yifei's hair into an updo and added wispy bangs to her cheeks.

Then they found some small props and made two fluffy ears for Liu Yifei.

After putting on the prop ears, Liu Yifei became both aloof and adorable, increasing her charm by 100.

Compared to the previous bland look, this is much better and more stunning.

Shu Chang exclaimed, "See that, Qianqian? What is professionalism? Director Jiang, this is professionalism!"

Liu Yifei nodded; she also liked the look. She even put her fist to her mouth and meowed like a kitten.

Seeing this, Shu Chang smiled and said, "How about I do a cat face makeup for you?"

"Sure, give it a try and take lots of pictures later."

Women all love beauty.

When Liu Yifei saw her new look, she completely forgot about acting and dragged Shu Chang along to apply makeup to her face.

The two sisters had a lot of fun.

After the cat-face makeup was finished, Liu Yifei made a peace sign, gave Jiang Yifeng a cute look, and then asked, "How is it? Does this cat face look good?"

Jiang Yifeng patted the newly made tail in his hand and said with a smile, "It's very beautiful. You're a cat-like girl, so this kind of outfit suits you very well."

Liu Yifei then noticed the tail in Jiang Yifeng's hand.

……

She asked instinctively, "What are you doing with that tail?"

Before Jiang Yifeng could speak, Shu Chang said, "You've already put on cat ears and drawn on a cat face, all you're missing is a cat tail."

Director Jiang's hands-on skills are amazing; he made a tail in no time.

……

Jiang Yifeng said, "Now that the makeup and costume are almost done, you need to start imitating cats and performing. You need to combine human and cat elements to play the role of a cat demon well.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Yifeng then said, "Now, I'll teach you how to act."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei felt very surprised and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Jiang Yifeng said, "You act like a kitten first."

Liu Yifei, recalling the image of her cat at home, made an adorable face, took the initiative to lie down on Jiang Yifeng's lap, and even called out "Meow!"
Jiang Yifeng reached out his large hand and patted Liu Yifei's head.

Liu Yifei immediately squinted her eyes like a cat, revealing a half-asleep expression on her face.

Performances are inspired by life.

Liu Yifei has many cats at home and knows their habits very well. Now she's in "principle mode" again, and she really captures the essence of a kitten.

……

After the performance, Jiang Yifeng summarized: "Your performance was very good, and the cat acted well."

When you finally resist, you should act like a cat: jump away instantly and revert to your aloof self, or simply extend your claws and scratch me.

You captured the cat demon's soft and cute side well, but your acting of anger and resistance was lacking. Shall we do it again?

Liu Yifei nodded, blushing.

"This time it's a little better, but the resistance is still not strong enough; you still haven't let go."

"Hmm, much better this time. Now let's act out the anxious emotion again."

"Alright, this is a bit difficult for you. Let's call it a day."

After teaching Liu Yifei for more than an hour, Jiang Yifeng knew when to stop.

Liu Yifei was still eager for more. She felt that her acting skills had improved, and when acting with Jiang Yifeng, she entered a very mysterious state.

Moreover, she enjoyed the ambiguous relationship with Jiang Yifeng.

At the same time, I also felt Jiang Yifeng's respect.

Jiang Yifeng didn't force Liu Yifei to do things she disagreed with, showing he was very principled.

……

……

Over the next ten days or so, apart from occasionally visiting Zhang Tianai and Nazha at the training camp, Jiang Yifeng would massage Shu Chang's feet in the mornings and occasionally kiss her on the lips, and their relationship grew closer and closer.
That evening, he taught Liu Yifei how to act.

Liu Yifei's portrayal of the cat demon is getting better and better.

At noon on June 20th, after Jiang Yifeng yelled "Cut!", filming for "Old Boys: Back to 20," which had lasted for two months, was completely finished.

That evening, the film crew held a wrap party at the hotel.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, as the second and third female leads, also participated in the banquet.

Liu Yifei has a good alcohol tolerance and drank some wine.

Yang Mi, on the other hand, drank fruit juice.

She also wanted to go on a date with Jiang Yifeng; it had been a while since she'd had a swollen butt, and she missed it terribly.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei, who had been drinking, beat her to it.

These days, Liu Yifei is learning acting from Jiang Yifeng every day.

The two of them, one playing the master and the other the cat, engaged in various ambiguous interactions; the celestial being had longed for the mortal world.

She had actually been mentally prepared for this and was waiting for Jiang Yifeng's attack.

However, Jiang Yifeng is very good at playing the game; he simply doesn't take the initiative.

When Jiang Yifeng pretended to be drunk at the wrap party and went straight to his hotel room, Liu Yifei seized the opportunity and went into his room.

Yang Mi also wanted to go, but was stopped by Jiang Yifeng's assistant, Li Xia.

Clearly, all of this was part of Jiang Yifeng's plan.

Tonight, Liu Yifei can enter, but Yang Mi cannot.
