67 The test

After making the appointment with Jiang se the day before, assistant li had already made the necessary preparations. The stylist and makeup artist were already waiting in the office.

When Jiang se entered the dressing room, the production crew had already brought out the clothes she was going to wear later.

“Sister Li said so.” The girl who led Jiang se over picked up the cheongsam from the makeup artist’s hand and smiled at Jiang se. in the script,’doukou’ appeared on Tianqiao Street in ‘event of Beiping,’ so the company borrowed a cheongsam first.

Jiang se had already read the script a few times. Naturally, she remembered that when hou Xiling wrote this scene, doukou was wearing a blue qipao with peonies embroidered on it. She had a white shawl over her shoulders as she quietly watched the show on the stage. Her brows were slightly furrowed. Despite her young age, she had a melancholic air about her as if she had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

The image of a ‘cardamom’ appeared on the paper in a few words.

The staff from Shangjia company had temporarily borrowed a handmade cheongsam from a well-known brand in the imperial capital. The workmanship was exquisite and should be the shop’s signature. It was not for sale, so the size was small.

The staff of the qipao store was also there. Initially, they were worried that the actors hired by Shangjia would not be able to wear the qipao. However, when they saw Jiang se, the Auntie heaved a long sigh of relief and kept quiet.

Lin xiwen’s appointment was at 3:30 p.m., Which was about half an hour away. There was not much time left. When Jiang se entered, the stylist did not say much. He took the qipao and led her into the dressing room to help her change into it.

After she put on the buckle, the stylist took two steps back, looked at her, and nodded.

“Miss Jiang, your temperament suits a cheongsam.”

The cheongsam was dark blue, with only some lace embroidered on the wrist and collar. There were no other colors, making it look a little plain.

Fortunately, Jiang SE’s looks were good enough to support such a plain look. Her figure was just right. She was not so skinny that one could see her bones. She could not fit into the cheongsam. Her bones and flesh were just right.

Her waist was very thin, and the darker-colored cheongsam made her waist appear even slimmer.

Jiang se was tall enough. Her knee-length skirt did not shorten the curves of her lower body at all. On the contrary, because of her slender calves and the distinct curves of her waist and spine, it made her legs look even longer.

Just as the stylist had said, she was really suited to wear such a qipao. With her elegant temperament, the qipao accentuated her figure. It was not an exaggerated beauty, but it had the elegance of a ‘caroul’ that hou Xiling had identified as in the later stages.

It was like a flower that was about to bloom, faintly showing itself on the green leaves.

When she came out, even the Auntie in the qipao shop had her eyes lit up.

Her snow-white legs could be vaguely seen as she walked, but her walking posture gave people the feeling of a strictly educated young lady. She was beautiful, but there was also a subconscious temptation.

When ‘doukou’ appeared in the plot, she was very young, but she had already experienced the world, so her eyes did not have the dreamy look of a girl.

When the hairstylist was doing Jiang SE’s hair, he gave her a few looks. In the end, he boldly combed her hair into an extremely simple style. He did not comb her hair into any complicated hairstyle.

However, when she was putting on makeup, the makeup artist used a pink and purple eyeshadow. Her skin was extremely fair, so she could suppress it with this eyeshadow that was slightly selected by some people. After the layers were clearly dyed, her eyes appeared to be lost and deep.

Before she could add more makeup to her accessories, the girl who had brought Jiang se here urged her anxiously, ”

it’s almost time. Sister li is already urging us.

Everyone in the dressing room immediately panicked. The stylist took the shawl that she had prepared and placed it on Jiang SE’s shoulder, silently urging her to leave.

When she arrived at the audition room in her old-fashioned black high heels, the people who were conversing in the room raised their heads and looked at her.

Lin xiwen had heard Gu Jiaer mention before that this newcomer named Jiang se had an outstanding appearance. However, he did not expect her to be this outstanding.

No wonder assistant li couldn’t stop praising her after seeing her that day.

She must have been rushed over, as her steps were a little rushed at first. The closer she got to the audition Hall, the calmer she seemed, and her footsteps were neither fast nor slow. When the excellent staff pushed open the audition Hall’s door for her, she unconsciously held the shawl on her shoulder, giving Lin xiwen the impression that a beautiful lady in the misty Jiangnan was slowly walking towards him.

She wasn’t the young girl Lin xiwen had imagined, but she did have a very special aura. She was dressed in a retro outfit, but no one could pick out anything that was out of place.

Hou Xiling adjusted his glasses and looked up at Jiang se.

Although Shangjia company had spent a lot of effort to hire him to produce this ” events of Beiping, ” hou Xiling still had his own style. When he first started writing this film, he had already said that he had absolute control over the film.

In terms of choosing actors, he also had a certain amount of authority.

He had spent nearly two years polishing it, and it was very important to him. Even if it was just an insignificant supporting role, he would pay a lot of attention to it, not to mention a supporting role like ‘doukou’, who had several ties with the male lead in the film.

He was already 75 years old, and his appreciation of beauty was different from when he was young.

A beauty was on the inside and not on the outside. Lin xiwen admired Jiang SE’s facial features and looks, but he was much more picky.

He noticed that Jiang SE’s skull was round and narrow. From the side, her head was round and full, but from the front, it was narrow and thin. As a result, her lower jaw did not have a sharp oval face. It was shaped like an egg, but her face was small and beautiful.

With such a skull and her delicate facial features, it was like adding flowers to a brocade, pleasing to the eye at first sight.

She was tall, with a swan-like neck, long and straight limbs, and her ribs were well-tucked from top to bottom. That was why her waist was slender even though she was not thin.

The curve from the waist to the hip was steep, and from the outside, there was no flaw to be found.

In this aspect, her appearance matched the beauty of the ‘cardamom’ in the script. She was gorgeous but not seductive, beautiful but not cliché.

In terms of bearing, Jiang se no longer had the aura of a prostitute. On the contrary, her eyes were clear and pure when she looked at others. This was not in line with the ‘cardamom’ that hou Xiling had written in the beginning.

After all, no matter what,’doukou’ had once been a prostitute. Even if she did not wish for it, it was a fact that a bright pearl was covered in dust. Jiang SE’s first impression of her did not show this.

He was silent. Lin xiwen glanced at him and waved his hand without thinking.

Before Jiang se could reach the center of the audition room, a staff member approached her and asked with a smile, ”

“Miss doukou, are you here to listen to the play?”
