This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 457 This outfit doesn't even have an ethereal quality.
When he arrived at Lu Ran's office, he knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The voice coming from inside was Shen Qingyi's.

"Why is President Shen here too?"

Master Liu was a little puzzled.

Mr. Shen's reputation is impeccable; with Mr. Shen around, there are definitely no unspoken rules.

For a moment, Mr. Liu felt a little disappointed because he couldn't improve his family's financial situation.

He pushed open the door and went in, and Lu Ran and Shen Qingyi both looked at him.

"President Lu, President Shen," Master Liu said somewhat woodenly.

He wasn't a talkative person to begin with.

He used to work at Shen Qingyi's father's company. Because of his good sense of propriety as a driver, he was later poached by Shen Qingyi from her father's company.

Lu Ran didn't waste any time and said directly, "Master Liu, I'd like to ask you to film a short video."

"what?"

Master Liu was stunned for a moment.

Something's not right with how the plot is going.

Master Liu: "I... I can't act."

"It's okay if you don't know how, I'll teach you."

"I don't like being on camera. I get nervous as soon as I see a camera. I can't do it."

Lu Ran: "I'll use your time for three days, and I'll pay you two thousand a day. I'll give you another two thousand after the filming is finished."

The wealthy woman, Ms. Shen, quickly added, "The driver's salary will be paid as usual."

Upon hearing this, Master Liu immediately said, "Film! When do we start filming?"

It's no big deal. I can earn eight thousand yuan in three days. I'd be willing to make an adult film for you!
After settling things off with Mr. Liu, Lu Ran called over someone from the company's clothing department to take Mr. Liu's measurements.

To play the role of the Drunken Sword Immortal well, costumes are essential.

Lu Ran then went to Liaoyuan Studio and dragged Yang Guang, who was working on an animation, away.

"I told you to draw, to draw me a picture of a garment."

The design for this garment needs to be customized by the clothing department.

Lu Ran already had a complete picture of the costume in his mind, and with his professional makeup and styling skills, his description of the costume was very accurate.

Before long, Yang Guang drew out the clothing design according to his idea.

Yang Guang was a little puzzled after finishing the drawing.

"Mr. Lu, this thing of yours doesn't look ethereal at all, it's not even a white dress."

"Have you been watching too many of Sheng Xie's dramas? Who says you have to wear white to look ethereal?"

This is also a huge problem for fantasy idol dramas at present.

In terms of costume design, the female lead's costumes are alright, at least they look good, but the male lead's costumes are... well, let's just say they're not great.

To save time, many directors design the immortal characters to wear white clothes.

It's as if wearing white clothes makes you an immortal.

Can that be the same?

Just like short sleeves and shorts, they're just everyday clothes for normal people, but when Qiao Shan wears them, it gives off a foot massage parlor vibe.

Yang Guang thought for a moment and said, "That's right, who said you have to wear white clothes?"

He had also done some research beforehand, and found that in classical Chinese mythology, the clothes of the gods were all colorful and looked very gorgeous.

The clothes worn by this swordsman still look a bit outdated.

Lu Ran quickly took the pictures of the clothing to the clothing department and asked them to expedite the production of the clothes.

Lu Ran took charge of preparing the filming location and props on his own.

By evening, everything was ready except for the clothes.

Online, the competition between Lu Ran and Sheng Xie has attracted the attention of countless netizens.

Sheng Xie himself wanted to escalate the situation and even hired a few people to stir things up.

Lu Ran glanced at everyone's discussion, and most of them were not optimistic about him.

This is quite normal, because he has no experience in filming fantasy dramas.

When he acted in "The Song of the Clear Sky" before, he only played a minor supporting role. In addition, Lu Ran said in his live broadcast during the day that he would find an amateur to act, which makes him even less comparable to Sheng Xie.

Lu Ran was very satisfied with the online public opinion; this was Shengxie's opportunistic marketing tactic.

Regardless of what people are talking about, the buzz is here.

Lu Ran posted another Weibo post, this time with a picture of the outfit.

"The video I agreed to with Director Sheng has completed the script production, casting, and costume and prop preparation. The character I will be filming is called the Drunken Sword Immortal, and the actor is my driver, Master Liu, from the company. This picture shows the character's costume. Filming will officially begin tomorrow."

After posting on Weibo, Lu Ran's inbox kept popping up notifications, with likes and comments.

After seeing the picture posted by Lu Ran on Weibo, a group of netizens were all puzzled.

"These are immortal's clothes? They're not a beggar's, are they?"

"This outfit has absolutely no ethereal quality whatsoever!"

"I still had faith in Director Lu during the day, but now I really have no faith at all. What kind of rags are these clothes made up of?"

"Even immortals shouldn't wear clothes like this!"

"Damn! Isn't Lu Ran just copying Shengxie's marketing tactics? Deceiving everyone's feelings."

"Although I also look down on Sheng Xie, this outfit is really no good."

"Lu Ran has gone astray now. Has he been putting his phone on vibrate in his underwear?"

In everyone's mind, immortals' clothes are definitely not like this.

The Drunken Sword Immortal that Lu Ran mentioned actually has a similar character in everyone's mind.

That was the poet Li Bai.

In everyone's eyes, the Drunken Sword Immortal is just like Li Bai.

Since Li Bai is called Li Bai, he must be dressed in white like snow.

In short, this goes against everyone's impression.

Nighttime, in the hotel.

In the group chat of the creative team of "Three Yangs Bring Prosperity", someone posted Lu Ran's Weibo content in the group.

The group chat is full of producers and directors.

We are all part of a small group.

"Director Sheng, you can sleep soundly now. Lu Ran has come up with this outfit."

Sheng Xie opened the picture and looked at it himself. He laughed when he saw the end.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with the outfit itself, but if you want to use it as the attire for the Drunken Sword Immortal, then some people are just dreaming."

Sheng Xie immediately opened Weibo and forwarded Lu Ran's Weibo post: "Lu Ran, it's not that I look down on you, but your outfit is completely out of step with the traditional aesthetics of fantasy dramas. I suggest you come to my 'Three Yangs Bring Prosperity' production team and learn from our costume designers what costumes for fantasy dramas are all about."

Sheng Xie has to capitalize on this hype; he has to include the name of his show wherever he goes.

Lu Ran also replied below: "Director Sheng, don't worry, wait for my finished film."

Sheng Xie smiled dismissively after seeing Lu Ran's reply.

In modern fantasy dramas, the female lead's clothes are all custom-made, the supporting characters are made to look ugly, the female lead is made to look beautiful, and the male lead is made to look handsome.

Of course, if someone is really not handsome, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Clothing design is an important aspect.

The outfit that Lu Ran took out was really no good.

The next morning, Lu Ran and Master Liu met at the company.

The clothing department has almost finished making the clothes; now he needs to train the driver, Mr. Liu.

Mrs. Shen, holding a cup of milk tea, watched curiously from the side.

“Master Liu, you don’t need to worry about not being able to act. Theoretical knowledge is not important to you. Don’t worry if you don’t understand it.”

Master Liu nodded, but it was obvious that he was still very nervous.

"First, act out a carefree and unrestrained look, appearing drunk but not actually drunk, and act according to your understanding."

Mr. Liu began to sway from side to side and walk with a limp.

"Stop for a second, this isn't a scene of a stroke."

Lu Ran frowned as he looked at it.

Training actors is a technical job, not as easy as he thought.
