A buzz cut is the sole standard for judging handsome men.
Similarly, isn't going makeup-free the ultimate test of a girl's looks?
Many girls have a drastic difference between their appearance with and without makeup.
This is why some joke that makeup remover is more terrifying to girls than acid attacks.
It's precisely because men like natural beauties, but girls invariably have minor imperfections on their faces, such as spots, pimples, or blackheads.
To create an impression of a bare face, the "plain water makeup" style emerged.
This makeup is very light, maximizing brightness to make the skin appear fair and clean, looking like a bare face, yet not quite.
The overall effect is clear and delicate, like plain water, with every part of the face appearing as if un-made-up, looking incredibly natural, ethereal, and pitiable.
What's more, this makeup not only lacks any "tea flavor" but instead exudes a gentle and oxygenated aura, perfectly embodying a pure and innocent young girl.
Plain water makeup paired with air bangs is simply unbeatable.
The makeup artist spent an hour on the makeup, and Jiang Ling spent an hour memorizing her lines.
Jiang Yuyan's background was tragic; her birth mother was a lover of her father, Jiang Biehe.
After her mother's death, she traveled thousands of miles to the capital to find her father, only to fall into destitution and be rescued by Hua Wuque.
The first scene of the drama takes place in a brothel, where she is forced by the madam to entertain guests.
Brothel women sell their smiles and their bodies, so the clothes they wear are naturally not those of respectable people.
When Jiang Ling appeared, she was wearing an outfit that was gaudy and vibrant, yet incredibly tacky and cheap.
Even so, the actors, director, crew, and a large number of staff members were stunned by her.
They all thought to themselves, "With Jiang Ling's looks, even if she wore a garish, vulgar dress, or even a sack the color of horse manure, she would still be stunningly beautiful."
The key character in this scene is Hua Wuque, one of the two male leads.
Hua Wuque heroically saves Jiang Yuyan during her most desperate and difficult moments. From this, Jiang Yuyan falls deeply in love with him, unable to extricate herself, and vows to have him no matter what.
Jiang Yuyan's later transformation into someone so powerful, high-ranking, and in control of authority is largely driven by Hua Wuque.
The actor playing Hua Wuque is the renowned actor Xie Tingfeng (alias) from Hong Kong.
He possesses acting skills, fame, and good looks.
Furthermore, his handsomeness isn't the soft, perfumed kind prevalent in mainland entertainment; it's a sharp, sunny, and rugged handsomeness.
Xie Tingfeng initially found it hard to believe when he heard that Jiang Ling, such a popular star, was willing to play a supporting role.
It wasn't until he saw Jiang Ling emerge after her makeup was done that he had to accept it.
Although Xie Tingfeng is a Hong Kong star, he is well-informed about all the rumors circulating in the mainland entertainment industry.
After the great success of "The Young Wanderer," audiences felt immense sympathy for the character Li Shengnan and praised Jiang Ling's acting to the heavens.
Even the newly acclaimed top star Yue Zhengyu publicly stated, "Miss Jiang's acting is worthy of being my senior. I was able to play Jin Shiyi well thanks to her guidance; I learned a lot from her."
He also wanted to witness her breathtaking, god-tier acting firsthand this time.
Huang Jing, holding the walkie-talkie, kept his eyes on the camera.
"Scene 47, roll!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Jiang Ling quickly got into character, transforming into Jiang Yuyan.
Seeing Jiang Ling's swift immersion into the role, Xie Tingfeng, while shocked, quickly matched her performance.
