Rebirth: I Am the Wealthy Family (GL) - Chapter 30

Lin Budong walked up to Chen Qianyu, stared at her face for a long time, put on rubber gloves, and pinched her chin: “Director Gu, are you sure you want her to play King Zhou? Her face shape is too round. If you really want to do a male look, male faces are usually more angular. It’s quite difficult.”

“If it wasn’t difficult, do you think I would hire you?” Gu Mingzhu leaned on the sofa, holding a teacup and leisurely sipping tea.

“I like to hear that, but you know in Tiny Times, Zhou Chongguang transformed into Lu Shao only after hiring an entire Korean makeup team. Now it’s just me, this…”

“Isn’t your junior sister here too? Lin Budong, surely you’re not inferior to those Korean guys? If you can’t do it, I can replace you.”

Lin Budong smiled slightly, pinched Chen Qianyu’s chin, and then glanced at Lang Yue, who was attaching hair extensions to Han Dong’er. Suddenly, he felt much better: “You’re right. Lang Yue, finish the hair extensions quickly and prepare the silicone. I’ll reshape the face.”

As a stylist, there is no look you can’t imagine that he can’t achieve. Lin Budong was precisely such a person, a so-called genius. Lang Yue was attaching hair extensions to Han Dong’er, clearly having professional training. Her speed astonished Han Dong’er, who was sitting beside her. She could only see Lang Yue’s hands moving, the rest was too fast to see clearly.

“Brother, don’t rush me. You know I hate being rushed. It will be done right away.”

A normal person usually takes an hour to attach extensions, but Lang Yue finished in only fifteen minutes. “Ta-da! It seems I haven’t given everything I learned in school back to the teacher. But Brother, do you really want to use silicone to reshape the face? That takes a lot of time.”

“I know, but silicone is the least damaging to the skin. Look, your boss’s skin is so tender you could pinch water out of it. I don’t want to ruin such beautiful skin.”

“True, my boss’s skin is indeed getting better and better. Then let’s start, Brother. I’ll do the three-dimensional model first, and the rest is up to you.”

Lin Budong immediately started working, arranging Chen Qianyu’s hairstyle. He had already communicated with the costume designer about the clothes, which had now been delivered. After changing Chen Qianyu into the costume, he started styling her hair. A stylist does the actor’s look from head to toe. First, he fixed the hairstyle, and then came the most crucial part: the face shape. Chen Qianyu had a typical round face, unlike most women in the entertainment industry with V-shaped faces. King Zhou was an emperor, and the majesty of an emperor, if paired with a round face, would hinder the actor’s performance, especially since Chen Qianyu was playing a man disguised as a woman. If the styling wasn’t done well, it would give a effeminate impression, which would be very inconsistent.

He first marked Chen Qianyu’s face with a blue pen, indicating where adjustments were needed, and then began styling Chen Qianyu.

“Lang Yue, is it ready?”

“Here you go, this is the nose, this is the corner of the eye, this is the cheek?”

Lang Yue handed the pieces to Lin Budong one by one, and Lin Budong kept holding Chen Qianyu’s hand.

“Qianyu, bear with it. Styling is indeed very painful, but the first time is tough, and it gets better with practice. I’m starting now.” Lin Budong began applying pieces to Chen Qianyu’s face, piece by piece. Han Dong’er and Gu Mingzhu both looked over.

It must be said that Lin Budong really had some skills. An hour later, Chen Qianyu’s facial features began to change. Her originally adorable round face underwent a massive transformation; it was truly extraordinary.

“Her face, it really is…”

“Changed! That’s right, that’s the feeling we want. Lin Budong is truly capable.”

Gu Mingzhu looked at Chen Qianyu, just watching her. Only when Chen Qianyu was completely focused on other things could she silently watch her like this, gazing at her with affection. Only this way would Chen Qianyu not notice her. She smiled bitterly and silently told herself, Qianyu, you must do well. I will definitely make you famous so that when I leave, you can handle things on your own.

Let her take care of some things. Chen Qianyu should always live in the light and be happy forever. She will find her love and grow old with him.

Three hours passed. Han Dong’er was starting to get impatient. Lang Yue was still helping Lin Budong shape Chen Qianyu’s face, and Chen Qianyu’s neck was almost stiff. It was incredibly sore. Staying motionless for three hours was truly painful.

Five hours passed. Lin Budong handed the utility knife to Lang Yue.

“Done! Let me attach the beard, and the majestic King Zhou of Shang will appear!”

Lin Budong took the beard from Lang Yue’s hand, attached it, and the grand transformation was complete. After changing her shoes.

“Dong’er, you can come over, change into your palace gown. I’ll style you!”

The moment Chen Qianyu turned around, Han Dong’er was stunned. How could this be Chen Qianyu? She had completely transformed into a different person, even more imposing and handsome than a man.

“If King Zhou of Shang looked like this, if I were Su Daji, I would never leave him. He is absolutely stunning. This might be the most handsome King Zhou of Shang in history.” Han Dong’er had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and had seen all kinds of handsome male actors, but she was still taken aback.

Gu Mingzhu also stared at Chen Qianyu, speechless for a long time. She expected it to be amazing, but she hadn’t anticipated that Lin Budong had such skill.

“Of course! Look who’s doing the styling! My brother was known as Monkey King at school, with seventy-two transformations. This is just a small matter. Later, your look, Dong’er, will definitely be very alluring.” Lang Yue proudly hugged Lin Budong, boasting.

“Yes, your brother is indeed very skilled, and his price is also very steep. But this price is worth the work. Hurry up with the styling. It’s almost ten o’clock. The photographer is waiting. The promotional photos are scheduled for tomorrow. I hope you won’t make me wait for nearly six hours again this time!”

“No need. Han Dong’er won’t take that long. Half an hour is enough to give you a captivating Su Daji!”

Lin Budong had already started styling Han Dong’er, while Lang Yue sat not far away, gazing at Lin Budong with adoration, making Lin Budong feel uncomfortable yet boosting his morale.

“Qianyu, are you alright? Have some tea. Do you feel any discomfort on your face? If you do, you can tell me directly.” Gu Mingzhu prepared hot tea and handed it to Chen Qianyu.

“I’m fine for now. Thank you, Director Gu!”

The very detached politeness made Gu Mingzhu feel a wave of disappointment.
