Chapter 181 Compassion
Chapter 181 Compassion
After dismissing his assistant, Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed into his white knight-errant outfit.
To tie up one's hair.
Wear a crown.
Take a fan.
Looking at the handsome young man in the mirror, with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a dashing and heroic aura.
Jiang Bai's lips curled into a smirk, exuding a roguish yet handsome aura.
"Tsk."
"I definitely look better in men's clothing."
"This is the real me!"
Push open the door.
Jiang Bai, holding a folding fan, strode out.
"Whoosh—"
The moment he appeared in the studio.
The staff, who had been chatting casually, suddenly fell silent.
Followed by.
A burst of exclamations erupted.
"Holy crap......."
"That's so cool!"
"This isn't a woman dressed as a man; it's clearly a man!"
Director Lai Shui was so excited that he rushed over, circled Jiang Bai three times, and clapped and exclaimed in admiration as he watched:
"Amazing! Amazing!"
"Jiang Baizhi, after you changed your clothes, you look exactly like a crayfish!"
"With your figure and that confident stride, you don't look like a woman at all!"
The photographer next to him couldn't help but chime in:
"Yes, director! In the past, when filming scenes where women dressed as men, we had to find the right angles and do post-production editing, for fear that the audience would see through it at a glance."
"But Teacher Jiang, this..."
"Honestly, if I met him on the street, I would definitely call him handsome!"
"No wonder the emperor and Bai Yunfei couldn't recognize her as a woman in the script! I wouldn't have recognized her either! This is so convincing!"
Everyone surrounded Jiang Bai, praising him repeatedly. Even some of the female staff members were staring at him with lustful eyes.
"You were so quirky and cute in that pink dress, and now you're so dashing in men's clothes!"
"This is truly something that can be both salty and sweet!"
"I'm in love! I declare this to be the perfect 'crayfish' in my mind!"
"Waaaaah, even though I know she's a woman, I still want to marry her, what should I do?"
"So cool! This is a true male god!"
Listening to these heartfelt exclamations from those around me.
Jiang Bai stood in the center of the crowd, a signature roguish smile on his face, and a folding fan in his hand waving lightly.
But in my heart.
He was so embarrassed he felt like digging another film studio out of his toes, and he was inwardly laughing hysterically.
"Hahahahaha!"
"I can't believe it!"
"What the hell is this costume change?!"
"You bunch of blind fools!"
"I'm a man, after all!"
"When I came in wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, you all called me beautiful and girl, and you didn't even realize I was a man."
"Now that I've changed into ancient costume and put on makeup, you're actually praising me for playing a man so convincingly? Saying you can't recognize me as a woman?"
"This must be what they call..."
"When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood?"
"If I wear women's clothing for too long, then wearing men's clothing becomes an act?"
.......
Inside the photography studio, the sound of camera shutters was as dense as a machine gun.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Under the spotlight, Jiang Bai, dressed in pure white, held a folding fan in his hand.
He would occasionally turn his head and glance back, his eyes sharp;
Sometimes she would fold a fan to half-cover her face, revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling;
Sometimes he would step on a prop stone with one foot, striking a pose like a free-spirited wanderer of the martial arts world.
That kind of handsomeness isn't a deliberately acted greasiness, but rather a refreshing and unrestrained charm that comes from within.
But within that handsomeness, his overly delicate face and the occasional hint of cunning perfectly preserved the quirky and mischievous nature of the character "Situ Jing" as a girl.
"Great! That's wonderful!"
Director Lai Shui stood behind the monitor, gesturing excitedly and giving instructions incessantly:
"Yes! That's the look in your eyes!"
"It possesses both masculine boldness and feminine charm! That's what you call androgynous!"
"This one! This one is amazing! It's like it stepped right out of the original story!"
A set of photos has been taken.
Director Lai Shui watched the playback, becoming increasingly satisfied, and couldn't help but turn to give a thumbs-up to the costume and props team behind him:
"Our costume and props team has done a fantastic job this time!"
"Especially the costume department!"
Lai Shui pointed to Jiang Bai's perfectly flat chest on the screen and exclaimed in sincere admiration:
"This corset is so well done! So professional!"
"She has absolutely no feminine features! She's as flat as a washboard!"
"How tight must it be? It hides your curves so well without making you look bulky. That's really technically advanced!"
"Give Zhang from the costume department an extra chicken leg later!"
Upon hearing the director's praise, the costume assistant standing to the side had a rather strange expression.
She glanced at the director, then at Jiang Bai drinking water in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly:
"Um... Director."
"Actually...actually we didn't do anything."
"Didn't you do anything?"
Lai Shui was taken aback: "What do you mean? You didn't tie this bra strap on?"
The assistant blushed and said awkwardly:
"no......."
"Teacher Jiang Baizhi... she didn't use a chest binder."
"What?!"
Lai Shui's voice instantly rose, his face filled with disbelief:
"It's useless?!"
"You're not kidding me, are you?"
He pointed to the chest on the screen, so flat it could support a horse running across it:
"You're telling me this effect is achieved without a bra binder? All-natural?"
The assistant nodded, her voice even softer:
"Yes...it's true."
"Just now in the dressing room, I offered to help Ms. Jiang with her hair, but she refused."
"She said...she said..."
"What did you say?" Lai Shui pressed.
She said her breasts were so small they were practically nonexistent, and she didn't need to bother with them.
"......"
An eerie silence suddenly fell over the photography studio.
Director Lai Shui stared wide-eyed, frozen in place for a full three seconds.
then.
He mechanically turned his head, his gaze slowly shifting to Jiang Bai, who was resting not far away.
Focus your gaze.
It was locked onto Jiang Bai's chest.
level.
Really flat.
The land is flat and level.
There were no ups and downs.
It's even flatter than him, a middle-aged, overweight director.
"hiss......."
Lai Shui gasped.
His expression changed instantly.
One second ago, his eyes were filled with admiration and fervor for her "explosive acting skills" and "perfect styling".
And in this very second.
That admiration quickly faded.
Instead, there is a deep, lingering feeling—
mercy.
