Chapter 43 This wig is totally worth it!
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the hotel curtains, falling on Jiang Bai's face.
He woke up groggily, wearing that priceless, legendary golden wig.
I tried on the wig last night, and it was so comfortable that I forgot to take it off.
"Hmm... this wig is really awesome."
"She doesn't even make a mess when she sleeps."
Jiang Bai touched the smooth hair and sighed.
Today is the day for signing the contract.
She skillfully applied makeup and changed clothes.
When he reappeared at Kyoto Film Studio, he was still the same aloof and ethereal goddess in a white dress.
Studio 3.
The signing ceremony was very lively.
Besides Jiang Bai, several other important supporting actors who had already been cast also arrived.
In the corner, Jiang Bai even spotted a familiar figure.
A pair of signature big fox eyes, and two incredibly long legs.
Yang Mi!
Honey is really here!
It seems I wasn't mistaken at the airport; she really was there to sign a contract for "Beauty's Rival in Palace," and she should be playing the loyal and unforgettable assassin Mo Xueyuan.
However, Yang Mi was surrounded by a group of assistants and had a powerful aura, so Jiang Bai didn't dare to go up and chat with her, for fear of being seen as someone trying to ride on her popularity.
When it was Jiang Bai's turn to sign the contract.
He sat opposite Yu Zheng, looking utterly dejected, like a wilted eggplant.
The thought of playing Zhang Yan and having to constantly be on guard against his identity being exposed made him feel hopeless.
Who is Yu Zheng?
The most shrewd of all.
Jiang Bai's little scheme was immediately apparent.
"Hey, Jiang Bai, don't look so gloomy."
Yu Zheng smiled and pushed a cup of tea towards him:
I know what you're worried about.
"Don't worry, we won't turn it on that early."
"The other roles haven't been finalized yet; we still need to work on the script. We estimate filming won't start until the end of the month."
At this point, Yu Zheng pushed up his glasses, giving him a "I'm so considerate" look:
"Furthermore, considering that you are still a freshman, your studies should be your priority."
"I specifically asked the production coordinator to reorganize your scenes."
"Seven-day National Day holiday!"
"Come over during your National Day holiday, and we'll film intensively for seven days to wrap up all your key scenes!"
"How about that? Pretty good, right? It definitely won't make you miss class!"
Jiang Bai was taken aback.
seven days?
Only seven days of filming?
If that's the case... then it's acceptable.
After all, the National Day holiday is right after military training, so it's a seamless transition and you don't have to ask for leave and get a dirty look from your counselor.
"And we'll also increase your pay by 20%."
Yu Zheng chuckled, held up one finger, and tapped on the number on the contract:
"See? Are you satisfied?"
Jiang Bai looked down.
Total remuneration: RMB 1,200,000.00 (before tax).
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...
One million two hundred thousand!
A full 1.2 million!
And it's a package deal!
In other words, he only needs to work for seven days to earn 1.2 million!
The daily salary is more than 170,000 yuan!
What kind of god-like job is this? Even robbing a bank wouldn't be this fast!
"hiss--"
Jiang Bai gasped, and the bitter look on his face vanished instantly.
Instead, they were replaced by radiant smiles, like spring flowers in full bloom.
"satisfy!"
"I'm extremely satisfied!"
"Director, you are like a second parent to me!"
"I'm definitely going to take this role! I'll fight anyone who tries to take it from me!"
Jiang Bai picked up the pen and scribbled his name in a flowing, elegant style.
What women's clothing? What social death?
Money is nothing but fleeting clouds!
As long as the money is right, he'd be willing to play not only Zhang Yan, but also Rong Momo, even if it meant being needled!
What's more, it only takes seven days to perform, which is fantastic!
After signing the "indenture" worth over a million yuan.
Next comes the main event – the makeup test.
That is, taking those "official photos" that will be posted on the official Weibo account for promotion.
Yu Zheng, that old fox, had clearly been plotting this for a long time.
As soon as the contract was signed, he leaned closer with a mysterious look on his face and whispered:
"Jiang Bai, I know your situation is special."
"To protect your privacy and prevent others from finding out that you are... cough cough, that."
"I specifically had a VIP dressing room prepared for me!"
"Just the two of us, plus your personal chief makeup artist, it's a complete secret!"
"How was it? Weren't you touched?"
Yu Zheng had a "praise me for being so thoughtful" expression on his face.
however.
Jiang Bai frowned upon hearing this.
VIP dressing room?
Personal makeup artist?
This sounds like a good thing, but in Jiang Bai's eyes, it's a huge pitfall!
If it were before yesterday, without that "Golden Legend" wig, he would definitely have wholeheartedly agreed.
After all, he was wearing something that cost only a few dozen yuan from Taobao back then, and it would be exposed if he tugged on it even slightly. He had to find someone he knew well to take good care of him.
But it's different now.
The wig he's wearing is a system-made [Ever-Changing, Silky Smooth, Absolutely Won't Fall Off, Realistic Wig]!
This thing is known as a magical artifact that "cannot be blown away even by a category 10 typhoon".
If they went to the VIP dressing room, Yu Zheng would definitely have to tell the chief makeup artist: "This is a man, so be gentle and don't pull the wig off."
Wouldn't that mean another person would know his secret?
The more people who know, the greater the risk of social annihilation!
Moreover, the makeup artist will definitely look at him strangely, and might even touch him inappropriately to verify it...
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Jiang Bai shook his head decisively, refusing with an upright expression:
"Director, I don't think this is right."
"I'm still a newcomer. I just joined the crew and they're already giving me special treatment, using a VIP dressing room. If word gets out, what will people think of me?"
"They're saying I'm arrogant? They're saying I'm a 'resourced' star?"
"This is bad for the unity of the crew!"
"Just reserve a small rest area for me from now on. As for the dressing room, I'll do my makeup with everyone else!"
Yu Zheng was stunned.
He hadn't expected Jiang Bai to be so enlightened.
"But...your hair..."
Yu Zheng pointed at Jiang Bai's head, his eyes filled with worry.
He knew it was a wig; what if it fell off in public...?
He dared not imagine what that scene would be like.
Jiang Bai smiled confidently and tossed his long, glossy black hair:
"Don't worry, director."
"My hair is very strong."
"Forget about styling, I'd even do a handstand without a problem!"
"Moreover, I just wanted to be with everyone and experience the atmosphere of the film crew."
"Please don't give me any special treatment. Just treat me like a regular 'actress'."
Looking at Jiang Bai's determined eyes.
Although Yu Zheng still had some doubts, he couldn't insist any further.
"Alright."
"Since you're so confident, then go to the main dressing room."
"But I'll have to keep an eye on things, so I can step in and save the day if anything goes wrong."
……
Large dressing room.
This place is like a bustling market, incredibly lively.
Dozens of actors were lining up to get their makeup done, and the air was filled with the smell of hairspray and foundation.
Jiang Bai was seated by the window.
The person responsible for his styling was Tony, a senior stylist on the set.
Tony, a refined man with delicate, orchid-like fingers, held a comb in his hand and looked at Jiang Bai's long hair with shining eyes.
"Wow, this hair quality is amazing!"
Tony touched it with his hand.
Smooth.
It's cold.
It feels like touching silk.
"The shine, the elasticity—it's just like the effect in GG shampoo!"
While combing his hair, Tony couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"Hey beautiful, what shampoo do you usually use?"
"It's so easy to maintain, it doesn't get tangled at all!"
Jiang Bai sat in the chair, but inside he was panicking.
Although the system said this wig was awesome, this was, after all, the first time it was used in real combat.
As he felt the comb scraping against his scalp, all his muscles tensed up, as if afraid that his wig would fly off with the comb at any moment.
But as it turns out...
Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality.
No matter how Tony the stylist combed or pulled, even tugging hard a few times to make a bun, it didn't matter.
The wig was as if it were welded to the scalp, completely immovable!
It even blends in perfectly at the hairline, with no trace of pasting at all.
"call……"
Jiang Bai finally felt relieved.
When Tony asked about shampoo, he awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth and made up a random excuse:
"Ah...that's it, Overlord."
"Overlord?"
Tony paused for a moment, glancing at Jiang Bai's thick hair:
"No wonder! It seems the hair loss prevention effect is really good!"
Yu Zheng, who had been standing by anxiously, almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene.
Overlord?
How could you even think of that!
He looked at Jiang Bai's serious-looking nonsense, and then at Tony's "I've learned something" expression.
He couldn't help but cast a teasing glance at me, as if to say, "You're really something, kid."
Jiang Bai could only pretend not to see it and continue to mentally give the system a thumbs up.
This wig is totally worth it!
