“As such, Yan Jiayin’s character would be an innocent schoolgirl at the very beginning, but afterward, because of the changes in her environment, she got to know the dance hostess Ying Ying. She was still a student then. It was just because she got to know Ying Ying that the people she met and the environment she was in changed. Her world views changed. She got into the debauched world of drinks and entertainment, which was completely different from her small world at first.

“She started to feel conflicted and she struggled. She had materialistic desires, yet she did not want to become depraved as a result, because deep down, she still looked down on professions like that of a dance hostess, who made a living off of entertaining others and who also dealt with the risks of prost.i.tuting herself,” the screenwriter said. “You can try designing the makeup for Yan Jiayin’s character during this period.”

The context of the story was set in the period of the early Republic.

That was a period when celebrations of song and dance coexisted with scenes of devastation everywhere.

The rich indulged in debauchery, numbing themselves with drinks and entertainment, creating a facade of a prosperous world.

Yet between the alleys, beyond the city gates, corpses abound, people everywhere were ragged and shabby, and smoke filled the mountains.

An era of contradictions, that was what it was. Against this huge backdrop, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya thought for a bit about Yan Jiayin’s character image for this period before she started to pick the makeup and colors she needed.

She knew that the screenwriter was helping her like this.

These details of the plot should have been kept confidential to begin with.

Or else, when the production crew contacted them, they would not only reveal the initial, basic image of the characters.

But seeing that Lian Qingyin was deliberately finding fault, the screenwriter just decided to give s.h.i.+ Xiaoya a completely new character image for her to design.

After all, for Yan Jiayin’s previous character image, she had done her best to design the character’s makeup after researching and experimenting with it extensively.

Even if she were to redesign the character now, there would not be a better effect produced, which she knew very well deep down.

If the effect of the makeup that came out was not good, Lian Qingyin could naturally find fault with her.

The screenwriter also knew that, so he just provided a new character proposal to give her a bigger s.p.a.ce to imagine and be creative.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya gave the screenwriter a grateful look and said, “The Yan Jiayin during this period experienced the luxurious lifestyle that she normally would not have been able to experience, and she experienced what it was like to lead a befuddled existence in drunkenness. She did not have enough experience or strong enough beliefs to steer herself. As an innocent schoolgirl, she was very quickly tempted by this kind of lifestyle and started chasing after material desires.

“But at the same time, she was a little self-righteous. She had material desires but did not want to make sacrifices just for those. But after seeing such a life for herself, her heart had already been swayed.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya spoke as she started to put on makeup for the model again.

“So, at this point in time, she was in a state where she wanted to be seductive and coquettish like Ying Ying, to be more extravagant and reckless, but she did not have the courage to do so. She cared about the looks from the people around her, as well as what other people thought of her, and there was that last bit of will left in her own heart.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said, “The makeup design that I gave her at first for her schooling period is fluffy, with slightly unkempt brows, faint eyeliner, no mascara. The eyeshadow is only smudged with brown color near the eyeliner. But when it comes to this extravagant period, her brows would have to be threaded.

“Like girls who have just started learning how to put on makeup, the makeup wouldn’t be too heavy, and the brows would not have been threaded so perfectly. The brows would be filled in using gray color,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya explained as she applied the makeup on the model’s face.

“The black eyeliner will be more defined around the eye area, with a slight flick near the tails of the eyes to show her ambition.. Earth tones will be used for her eyeshadow, with a hint of peach color shadow added to the tails of her eyes to give off the feel of a teenage girl who is about to mature and enter adulthood.”
