Huayu 2007: Starting with fleecing the "Fairy Sisters"

After breakfast, everyone went to the temporary film studio that the crew had set up in the hotel.

All the equipment inside the shed has been set up.

It has everything: backdrops, soft lights, makeup area, changing area, shooting area, etc.

When Yang Mi was the first to enter the dressing room, changed into her school uniform, and came out, everyone's eyes lit up.

In everyone's impression, school uniforms are ugly, and wearing them will affect one's appearance and temperament.

However, Yang Mi's outfit didn't look bad at all; instead, it made her look even more youthful and innocent, just like a high school beauty.

This school uniform was designed by Wu Wei based on the "classic blue and white school uniform of Shenzhen".

Shenzhen school uniforms at this time were basically the same as those in later generations, but they had not yet become a hit or become a standard feature in domestic youth films.

Wu Wei made some slight adjustments to the style of the school uniform, making the waistline more streamlined and subtly modifying the details of the cuffs and collar, making it more aesthetically pleasing and suitable for appearing on camera.

"Wow, this school uniform is so cool!"

"If I had worn this when I was in school, I would have worn my school uniform every day!"

Who designed it?

Guo Zida, the art director standing nearby, spoke up: "It was designed by Director Wu."

"Director Wu???"

Everyone turned to look at Wu Wei.

Liu Shishi looked at him with some surprise: "Director Wu, you can design costumes too?"

Wu Wei smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a few minor changes based on the Shenzhen school uniforms; it's not entirely my design."

"That's still amazing!"

A glint of light appeared in Liu Shishi's eyes.

"Director Wu, is there anything you can't do?"

Yang Mi smiled and said, "This school uniform is the best-looking one I've ever seen in China!"

"If you like it, that's good."

Wu Wei smiled and said, "Alright, stop praising me and get in front of the background to take a picture."

Yang Mi's filming is progressing very quickly.

She grew up in front of the camera, so her posture, expression, and angles were all very natural. She completed all the necessary photos in just over ten minutes.

After the shoot, she changed her clothes, said goodbye to everyone, and left in a hurry.

Next up is Liu Shishi.

Her makeup and styling are the highlight of today.

Because the female lead, Liu Miaomiao, undergoes many changes in appearance in the movie—from an unremarkable ordinary girl in the early stages, to gradually becoming more beautiful in the middle stages, and finally completing a glamorous transformation.

Makeup, hairstyle, and clothing all have several versions, and each one requires a final photo to be taken for archiving.

Liu Shishi first put on ugly makeup.

The makeup artist used foundation and concealer to darken her skin several shades, styled her hair in the same way as the original, and then put on a pair of glasses...

Wu Wei looked at it, his brows furrowing slightly.

"It's too deliberate."

He turned to the makeup artist and said, "The makeup must be natural, like that of a real, ordinary girl with dark skin. There can't be any hint of deliberately trying to look ugly..."

The makeup artist nodded and began adjusting the makeup.

After revising it to the fifth version, Wu Wei finally nodded in satisfaction.

This version of the ugly makeup looks very natural, comparable to the original, and even surpasses it.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Liu Shishi couldn't help but laugh: "I almost don't recognize myself anymore."

"That's exactly the effect I wanted."

Wu Wei patted her on the shoulder: "Go ahead and take the picture."

After finishing this makeup and styling shoot, Liu Shishi continued to try out other makeup and styling looks.

Wu Wei meticulously adjusted every aspect of the makeup and styling until it matched or even surpassed the original visuals.

After Liu Shishi's official photos were taken, the photoshoots for the other people were much easier.

Wu Wei himself was the fastest to take pictures.

He now has a great physique, good looks, and great temperament. Just standing there in a school uniform, he's a total campus heartthrob. He doesn't need any makeup artist to make many adjustments.

By the end of the day, the costume photos of the main actors were basically completed.

The costume fitting photos for the remaining supporting actors can be taken tomorrow.

……

The film crew had a much quieter time in the following days.

Previously, due to rumors surrounding Liu Yifei, paparazzi and reporters would stake out the hotel entrance every day, trying to interview Wu Wei and the crew.

Now, all those people have gone to Song Dazui's side.

After all, the revelations about him this time were just too explosive and too sensational.

So, Song Dazui was cornered by a group of paparazzi and reporters right in front of his house.

A group of people shoved microphones right in his face, pressing him close and demanding to know if the things reported online were true.

Song Dazui looked much more haggard, with dark circles under his eyes as if he hadn't slept for days.

He stood before the camera and swore that those were all rumors, that all the photos were photoshopped, and that the videos were fake.

He has no physical or psychological problems.

He was immediately shut down by a paparazzi: "You're talking complete nonsense! I've had formal training in Photoshop, and I can say with certainty that those pictures show no signs of being photoshopped. And tell me, how do you fake a video?"

Song Dazui, his face flushed red from the retort, immediately yelled at the other person, "How should I know?! I've never been to that place! If the video isn't fake, then that person must be fake! By the way, that person must have been someone Liu Yifei hired to impersonate me, just to frame me!"

The paparazzi then retorted, "Are you saying there's someone in this world who looks exactly like you, dresses the same way, walks the same way, and even has the same voice, but isn't you? Is that right?"

"Besides, these are videos from several years ago. Are you saying that Liu Yifei hired someone to impersonate you several years ago?"

Speechless after being confronted, Song Dazui turned pale with anger and could only unleash a torrent of curses at the reporter.

What foul language! You just spout it like that!

The paparazzi, however, showed no anger and continued, "Was your previous divorce due to a sexual defect? ​​Is the XXXX disorder listed on your medical report genuine?"

Upon hearing this, Song Dazui finally exploded and shoved the paparazzi hard.

That paparazzi wasn't one to be trifled with either; he immediately retaliated by giving him a hard slap in the buttocks.

The two then started fighting, and the scene became quite chaotic.

Finally, a passerby called the police, and both of them were taken to the police station.

Song Dazui was clearly at a greater disadvantage; not only was his face bruised and battered, but he was also covered in blood from his nose.

When Wu Wei saw this news in his hotel room, he almost laughed himself silly.

He had only one thought in his mind—

Live it!

At the same time, he couldn't help but think: the pressure on her side should be much less now, right?

I wonder if she'll laugh when she sees the posts online and this news...
