Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 533 Zhou Yang's radical modification of Yu Ji!

A hint of admiration flashed in Liu Tianxian's eyes, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "The director and every member of the crew are truly remarkable! They are all incredibly dedicated!"

Zhou Yang looked up and saw Liu Tianxian, then smelled a faint fragrance. He smiled and said, "You don't need to call me Director! That's too formal. Just call me Zhou Yang! We're old friends and have been working together for many years."

Liu Tianxian smiled and replied sweetly, "Okay, Zhou Yang!"

Seeing how enthusiastic Liu Tianxian was towards him.

Zhou Yang suppressed his joy, gave a few instructions, and quickly went into the dressing room.

Since Cheng Dieyi was playing the role of Yu Ji, the makeup artist began to apply powder to Zhou Yang's face, creating a complex and intricate Peking Opera makeup look.

Half an hour later, the makeup was finished. Zhou Yang's face was covered with thick foundation, instantly transforming her into Yu Ji herself, exuding a charming aura.

If a stranger walked in, they would definitely think she was a beautiful woman.

"Director! Should we put this crown on?" the makeup artist asked.

Zhou Yang replied, "This scene wasn't needed; it was filmed during the makeup stage!"

The makeup artist looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief, as if she were seeing Yu Ji from a drama.

Zhou Yang looked at her reflection in the mirror with satisfaction. When she went outside, she ran into Cheng Kun, who had just finished her makeup. One was charming and the other was masculine.

This stark contrast in temperament left the staff on site speechless.

The set is ready, and filming is about to begin.

In the first scene, Cheng Dieyi learns that his senior brother Duan Xiaolou went to a brothel and rescued a woman. He has mixed feelings and his emotions erupt in the dressing room.

This part of the plot is crucial, highlighting Cheng Dieyi's feelings for Duan Xiaolou that go beyond friendship.

At the same time, it shows a change in gender perception, which makes Cheng Dieyi gradually play the role of a woman, treat Juxian as if she were a mistress, and also reveal his perverted possessiveness.

To create a vintage, oil painting-like feel, Zhou Yang specifically asked the staff to warm up the lights, as this would allow the camera shots to better express the emotions.

This was Zhou Yang's special request, and he even gave detailed instructions to the assistant director regarding the camera setup and changes.

The staff were full of anticipation.

"Yang Ge directs and stars in his own film, that's amazing! I can't wait to see it!"

"What I'm most looking forward to is Yang Ge's acting skills. Their scenes together should be quite exciting! I'm so excited just thinking about it!"

"Are you a fujoshi?! You've talked so much about the bromance between two grown men!"

"Yes! I'm really looking forward to it! Watching Brother Yang act every day is a real treat..."

"This is Yang's first time trying this kind of role! It feels difficult to grasp!"

"Yeah, I feel so uncertain!"

"..."

The film is directed by Zhou Yang, who is also the lead actor. Media professionals are all eager to see Zhou Yang's performance.

Audiences have full confidence in Zhou Yang's acting skills, but are worried about whether he can grasp the emotions and style well, so as not to affect the effect of the whole movie.

After Cheng Kun was ready, he signaled to the assistant director that everything was OK. The assistant director nodded in agreement and shouted, "Start filming the first scene of 'Farewell My Concubine,' Action!"

At the assistant director's instruction, the lights illuminated the backstage dressing room, outlining its sharp contours in a striking way.

However, when the camera zooms out, it takes on a slightly hazy feel, creating a unique and elegant atmosphere.

"I heard you've become quite famous in the Eight Great Hutongs?" This question suddenly reached Duan Xiaolou's ears. He looked at Cheng Dieyi in the mirror and smiled, saying, "Like Wu Dalang meeting Ximen Qing! How could he not fight?" Duan Xiaolou was slightly puzzled by these words and shamelessly asked, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Dieyi hesitated slightly, gazing at Duan Xiaolou in the mirror, and asked softly, "Do you already have a Pan Jinlian?"

Duan Xiaolou was puzzled. He leaned close to Cheng Dieyi's ear and asked in a rough voice, "What are you saying?"

Cheng Dieyi was getting anxious. She stared intently at Duan Xiaolou in the mirror and demanded, "What answer do you want to hear?"

At this moment, Cheng Dieyi was already angry, but in his heart he felt that Duan Xiaolou's behavior was a bit out of line, seemingly hinting at an affair that should not have happened.

Duan Xiaolou sensed the sting in the other person's words and quickly turned around to say, "Hey, what are you joking about? I was just helping out casually, don't take it seriously."

Cheng Dieyi found these words rather ironic and did not turn around to respond.

Although Duan Xiaolou considered Cheng Dieyi a friend, he gently nudged the other's shoulder and teased, "Hey, Dieyi, when are we going out for a stroll together?"

Cheng Dieyi glanced sideways at Duan Xiaolou, then looked at herself in the mirror. Seeing her like Yu Ji, she felt indignant and finally couldn't help but fly into a rage, slamming her hand on the table.

The camera zooms out, and an angry Cheng Dieyi hurriedly walks behind a screen and hides.

Duan Xiaolou was somewhat taken aback by Cheng Dieyi's actions, but he quickly recovered and realized that his words had gone too far. He only regarded Cheng Dieyi as a brother.

Seeing that Cheng Dieyi was really angry, Duan Xiaolou stood up and quickly apologized, "Brother, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry!"

Cheng Dieyi was still angry, as if he had been frustrated by someone else interfering in his relationship.

Seeing that Cheng Dieyi was still angry, Duan Xiaolou continued to explain, "Senior brother is not in a good mood today and said the wrong thing!"

Suddenly, filled with sincere apology, he slapped himself twice hard, the sound of the slaps carrying his anger.

"Senior brother, I'm so sorry!"

Cheng Dieyi calmed down a little, but the screen behind him concealed his expression. A moment later, his senior brother's voice came, carrying a hint of reproach.

Have you forgotten our promise?

Duan Xiaolou felt that Cheng Dieyi was overreacting.

The mysterious voice continued, "Wasn't it all just for a promise from Master?"

Duan Xiaolou stood up, took his things, and sat down again. He didn't have a deep memory of those things.

"What promise?"

Upon hearing this question, Cheng Dieyi's tone immediately became more serious, and he urgently exclaimed:
"Never change!"

At this moment, the assistant director readjusted the lighting according to Zhou Yang's instructions, making the protagonist's characteristics stand out more prominently without being abrupt.

Cheng Dieyi seemed to remember something, and her emotions were eager to be released, and she wanted to confide in her senior brother.

He rushed out, full of anticipation, and said, "Senior brother! I hope we can be together..."

He grabbed Duan Xiaolou's arm, then suddenly realized something was amiss and quickly changed his words, whispering:

"I'm sorry! I just want to keep acting with you! Is that okay?"

Cheng Dieyi gazed into Duan Xiaolou's eyes, her eyes filled with expectation and glistening with tears.

However, Duan Xiaolou clearly couldn't understand his emotions and said in confusion:
"Haven't we been working together for most of our lives?"
