Chapter 1752: Chapter 1599: Entertainment Tycoon from Another World 29

Wu Qiaoxuan supported her chin with both hands, looking at Zang Lin with girlish excitement: "When I watched the movie before, I thought everyone in it looked so good, I really wanted to know what they looked like in real life.

I also wondered if the real people were exactly like in the movies, all so handsome and beautiful. I didn’t expect to see them in real life so soon, and you look even more handsome than in the movie.

However, your personality seems a bit different from in the movie. In the movie, you appeared graceful and imposing, but in reality, your demeanor feels quite cool and detached."

Zang Lin smiled: "The person in the movie was just a character I portrayed, not me. Naturally, there are differences between us."

"That’s true. Is acting fun? You guys are amazing, clearly playing someone else, but to me, it seems like such things really happened, it’s amazing."

Wu Qiaoxuan sighed again, her face full of genuine admiration. Wu Ziyi, who hadn’t spoken, maintained a reserved expression, but his gaze honestly lingered on Zang Lin.

Zang Lin noticed Wu Qiaoxuan’s expectant look, and Wu Ziyi’s expression, which he thought was well-hidden but was actually quite transparent, and he was stirred.

Wu Ziyi and Wu Qiaoxuan both had great looks. Wu Ziyi had a rugged and masculine appearance, tall and very manly handsome.

Zang Lin’s own appearance was somewhat cold and his handsomeness had a touch of aggression, while Ji Yuzhe’s appearance was more gentle and charming, different from Wu Ziyi’s rugged masculine charm.

Wu Qiaoxuan, on the other hand, had a sweet appearance, with big cat-like eyes, a small nose, pink lips, fair skin, and she wasn’t tall, giving off a very cute first impression.

With looks like theirs, they would definitely qualify as actors. Thinking about how Jian Shuangshuang had already written the script for the next drama and was fretting over casting, as more actors were needed for the new show, Zang Lin had a thought.

He smiled at Wu Qiaoxuan and Wu Ziyi, saying: "Acting is very interesting; it allows you to experience different people’s lives.

Briefly becoming another person and experiencing a different you, I think both of your looks are quite suitable for acting. Do you have any interest in experiencing another person’s life and trying acting?"

Zang Lin’s words were exactly what Jian Shuangshuang had used to tempt him into acting before, and now he used them to entice the siblings Wu Ziyi and Wu Qiaoxuan.

The siblings Wu Ziyi and Wu Qiaoxuan were from an aristocratic family, but they were part of the legitimate branch’s side line, with money and resources but not much responsibility, giving them more freedom and leisure.

Their parents also didn’t set high expectations for them, as long as they didn’t forget their cultivation. Whatever else they chose to do was up to their happiness; otherwise, Wu Qiaoxuan wouldn’t have the time to frequently watch Haunted House Horror.

The first to be tempted by Zang Lin’s words was Wu Qiaoxuan. She already had a great appreciation for Zang Lin, not the romantic kind, but an admiring one.

Besides, she liked watching movies and was inherently interested in film shooting and the like. At that moment, being enticed by Zang Lin, she immediately developed an interest in acting.

Wu Qiaoxuan was thrilled and excited at the mere thought of one day performing as another person and then having it shown in the cinema for others.

However, Wu Qiaoxuan dared not decide on her own, so she looked at her brother Wu Ziyi with hopeful eyes. Wu Ziyi coughed lightly; in truth, he was also quite tempted, but it was still a bit embarrassing for an aristocratic family member to go into acting.

Seeing his sister’s hopeful gaze, he initially intended to refuse, but the words that came out were: "If you like it, you can try acting."

Wu Qiaoxuan’s eyes immediately lit up, and she leaned over to hug Wu Ziyi’s arm, shaking it with her sweet voice: "Brother, you’re the best! Thank you so much, brother! Brother, I like you the most!"

Wu Ziyi’s mouth twitched slightly as Wu Qiaoxuan shook his arm, trying hard to suppress the twitch of his lips, looking helplessly at Wu Qiaoxuan: "I have no way to deal with you. If I don’t agree, you’ll nag me to death."

......

In Hundred Families Village, Jian Shuangshuang was drawing a blueprint, while Du Xinning helped grind the ink and watched Jian Shuangshuang’s drawings.

After much consideration, Jian Shuangshuang decided that the next show would still be a ghost film, but a funny one reminiscent of the Happy Ghost series.

Jian Shuangshuang had no other choice; first, he couldn’t touch historical subjects, as they inevitably involved real historical figures and elements of the Royal Family, which would require scenes featuring an emperor.

In this era where there is still Imperial Power, even if the Royal Family is liberal and permits free speech with no literary inquisition, it’s still an era of Imperial Power. Unless the Emperor gives permission, Jian Shuangshuang doesn’t dare to shoot it.

Moreover, in this world, when Xuan Masters reach the pinnacle of their cultivation, their lifespans are long, and many legendary figures from history are still alive. If you want to make a film about them, you must get their consent.

But these people are top experts in the world, and Jian Shuangshuang, being just a small Great Xuan Master, finds it hard to meet them, and even if he does, they may not agree to let him film.

So Jian Shuangshuang thought about it and realized that aside from setting it in an alternate universe, the safest bet is to make a ghost film where the storyline can be almost entirely made up.

Once the theme for the next film was settled, the next concern was the actors’ costumes and settings, for which Jian Shuangshuang was thoroughly prepared this time.

The clothing in this world has a touch of East meets West, with ever-changing styles. Though they all look nice, Jian Shuangshuang still prefers the flowing wide sleeves and the splendor of the Tang Dynasty style.

Thus, the movie Jian Shuangshuang plans to shoot will feature costumes from the Tang Dynasty. Of course, for makeup, Jian Shuangshuang doesn’t intend to mimic the Tang Dynasty.

The makeup style with a yellow forehead, flushed cheeks, and a tiny cherry-like mouth.

Plus, the overly white face painted like plaster, with two basically minimalistic black "bean" eyebrows—the aesthetic of which Jian Shuangshuang simply cannot appreciate.

Jian Shuangshuang decided that the makeup would still primarily use modern techniques, aiming for a natural look. Additionally, the designs of the various clothing styles, hairstyles, and accessories.

In the previous film, which was set in the world, Jian Shuangshuang designed the costumes and hairstyles to be minimalist, in a way that wouldn’t affect movement.

Previously, Jian Shuangshuang had also specifically collaborated with a clothing and accessories shop to create the outfits and jewelry from his films, selling them in the store, taking thirty percent of the net profits as his share.

Before the film’s release, while the clothes and jewelry didn’t sell slowly, they weren’t exceptionally fast either.

But after the film was released, in less than a day, over a hundred pieces of jewelry and clothing in the accessory shop and clothing store in Wujia Town were already sold.

And that was just in Wujia Town. The Datuoyan City, because it was further away and messages hadn’t yet reached there, definitely would earn even more than Wujia Town.
