Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 686: Why Not Make Him Mute?

In the makeup room, Jiang Yan sneezed three times in a row.

"Damn it, who’s cursing me?"

It must be that stinky girl Jiang Li talking behind his back again!

The stylist next to him, however, smiled and said, "It must be too cold in here, Teacher Jiang; Xiao Qian, go turn up the heater."

After the air conditioning was raised a few degrees, the room immediately felt warmer.

Jiang Yan was satisfied and swiftly stripped off his jacket.

Even the stylist, who had years of professional experience, couldn’t help but blush at the sight of his physique.

Jiang Yan’s skin had taken on a wheatish tan from being out in the sun on the island, and his muscle definition had become fine and toned due to regular exercise and nutrition.

His pectorals were large and muscular, gently rising and falling with his breath.

The lines of his abdominals extended all the way down to that unspeakable forbidden area.

The staff by his side only dared to glance before their faces turned crimson.

The stylist didn’t skimp on praise, "Teacher Jiang, your physique is really well-crafted; no wonder you didn’t join the special training, you had an expert guiding you."

Jiang Yan caught their reactions and felt even more smug in an instant.

It seemed being a celebrity was great, being complimented anytime, anywhere.

"It wasn’t some expert, it was my sister." Mentioning this made Jiang Yan even prouder, "This look is all thanks to her."

No wonder Jiang Li had put him through the devilish training time and again on the island.

She had been waiting for this moment.

The stylist was very pleased with Jiang Yan’s physique, but she was not quite satisfied with his buzz cut.

The film was a futuristic sci-fi, and many of the characters were supposed to have platinum blonde, long hair.

But Jiang Yan’s hair was too short to extend and wearing a wig would easily look fake.

After pondering for a while, suddenly, an idea struck the stylist.

"Let’s do this!"

Two hours later, Jiang Yan finally walked out of the makeup room slowly.

A wave of gasps and exclamations rose immediately from the corridor to the set.

"Holy smokes, that styling is too cool."

"Ahhh, is Jiang Yan this handsome? I’m drooling."

"Xiao Ye is seriously awesome; how did they come up with this style?"

As the crowd dispersed, Jiang Li sitting in the producer’s tent finally saw Jiang Yan’s much-anticipated look, and her eyes brightened.

The stylist didn’t change his skin tone, but even deepened it a bit from the original.

His outfit also had the least fabric of all the characters, with a largely exposed chest, putting the most perfect muscle lines on display.

The hairstyle was even more striking; they had shaved off the buzz cut completely and added some ornaments to his ears.

In an instant, he projected a solemn and commanding presence.

With that stance, he had the aura of a commander.

Shao Changqing kept nodding in approval, "This is the style! Very nice!"

However, across the way, Jiang Yan broke character in a second.

He hadn’t held a dignified posture for a few minutes before he started shivering with his arms crossed.

"Quick, quick, take the shot, I’m so cold I’m getting goosebumps!"

Jiang Li: "......"

Too cringeworthy to watch.

Maybe next time I’ll think of a way to make him mute.

Luo Xingmu didn’t have much to do on set today, but he came at the news that Jiang Li would be here.

He had already started running back and forth, attending to Jiang Li’s needs.

"Sister, have some fruit, these were specially brought back from abroad for you."

"Sister, do you like this drink?"

"Sister, shall I fetch a blanket for you? It’s quite cold here."

Yin Le, watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

What kind of power did Jiang Li have to tame the usually cold and venomous Luo Xingmu like this!

It seemed she was indeed very impressive!

With that thought, he simply stepped forward, intending to lay out all of his previous concerns in one go.

From a distance, Jiang Li saw him hesitating and spoke with a smile, "Director Yin Le, right? Is there something you want to talk about?"

Yin Le didn’t expect her to remember his name and was pleasantly surprised.

"Miss Jiang, it’s like this, I’m so glad you could invest in and recognize this film—I had some doubts about you before and wanted to apologize."

"That’s okay, don’t worry about such trivial matters."

Jiang Li’s graciousness made Yin Le even more earnest, and he simply handed over the financial accounts of the film crew to her.

The two of them went through the procedures in the recording studio straight through to the afternoon.

Jiang Li had lunch on site just like everyone else, eating the same boxed meals.

To encourage everyone there, she had Ji Yanbai bring a truckload of Starbucks coffee to give to each person.

In the middle of winter, drinking a warm cup of coffee on the spot, everyone immediately took a liking to Jiang Li.

"I saw the trending search online before and thought Jiang Li was just putting on an act, but now I see, she’s simply an angel!"

"So many people were praising her, and I thought it was just paid promotion—now I can only say they praised her too little."

"Oh my god, I want to become her fan now, she’s so gentle, approachable, and generous!"

Jiang Li noticed that although Shao Changqing’s film crew wasn’t large, and there were fewer staff than at other film sets, everyone was full of drive, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

The Spiritual Field here was very clean, free of impurities, and the Feng Shui was also good.

With favorable conditions, the success of this film seemed inevitable.

After lunch, Yin Le was completely won over by Jiang Li’s presence and took the initiative to bring over a large stack of documents.

"Miss Jiang, frankly, we are currently facing a rather tricky problem."

"What is it? Just tell me."

"It’s about the lead actress of our film... we haven’t been able to confirm her yet..."

Yin Le detailed how the original lead actress had run off.

On the side, Shao Changqing frowned in surprise, "But Fu Xiaoxiao contacted me this morning, saying she had changed her mind and wanted to come back to shoot."

Yin Le’s eyes widened, "What? She got the news so quickly?"

He scoffed, "Why should we use someone so opportunistically disloyal?"

"I was thinking the same thing," Shao Changqing said. "So I didn’t pay any attention to her."

"Now that Miss Jiang is here, let her help us decide," Yin Le suggested.

Teasing his eagerness, Shao Changqing quipped, "Why are you so proactive today? I had to nudge you for ages about casting, and you didn’t budge, but with Miss Jiang here, you’re all fired up."

Yin Le’s face reddened slightly, "That’s because I trust Miss Jiang’s judgment."

He then placed the documents in his hand before Jiang Li.

"Here are the profiles of some potential lead actresses we’ve shortlisted. Miss Jiang, please have a look."

Jiang Li had read the script before and knew roughly what the character of the film’s lead actress entailed.

Initially, she was the most skilled assassin under the male lead’s second-in-command; when the Protagonist Group uncovered the conspiracy behind the Hive, she, codenamed Black Hole, was dispatched to assassinate them.
