At the same time, on Niu Yichen's side.
Niu Yichen was quickly made up by the make-up artist, dressed in a simple ancient costume, and then met Chen Yongge.
This is the attire of the God of Cooking in the human world. His attire is very simple, like that of a commoner. This is to emphasize his status as the God of Cooking, and he is adorned with numerous 'spice bottles' resembling beehives on his body.
Luckily Niu Yichen was quite handsome, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have been able to do it.
As Niu Yichen changed his clothes and walked over, Chen Yongge was still paying attention to Niu Yichen's notes.
Seeing Niu Yichen approaching, Chen Yongge couldn't help but say, "Judging from the notes you wrote, if you don't slack off in the future, you will definitely become an important person!"
"Thank you for your kind words!" Niu Yichen bowed cheerfully and said, "But how will it turn out? Will my revised version pass?"
"Of course! Those changes make perfect sense!" Chen Yongge said, "I'm even tempted to add more scenes for you!"
"Adding scenes is another matter!" Niu Yichen knew that adding scenes wasn't that easy, so he didn't even dwell on the topic. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Come on! Let me show you the results of my training yesterday!"
If they really wanted to add more scenes, Chen Yongge would definitely know what to do; if it was just a polite gesture, it would save him some embarrassment.
Chen Yongge didn't elaborate on this, and simply said, "Okay! I want to see what exactly you learned that day at the hotel!"
Niu Yichen said, "Have you ever watched Stephen Chow's 'The God of Cookery'? Cooking requires talent. I practiced hard for one night and achieved results that ordinary people can't possibly achieve in a lifetime!"
Chen Yongge looked incredulous. "You're just bluffing!"
"Arrogant?" said Niu Yichen, "Today I will show you whether it is arrogant or not!"
The two chatted while walking towards the shooting location.
The filming location they are using now is a set built by the crew themselves, which is completely different from the formal setting in Hengdian, so it looks much simpler.
Although small, this place has all the essentials. To recreate the God of Cooking on Earth, they actually built a fairly large kitchen inside this 'restaurant'.

Niu Yichen picked up a kitchen knife and swung it a few times, instantly transforming into a culinary god. While gesturing, he said, "Cut the green onions! Ordinary people would cut them on a cutting board, but how could a culinary god do it the same way?"
After saying that, Niu Yichen threw the spring onion into the air and sliced it back and forth with the sharp machete in his hand. The spring onion whizzed through the air, and in an instant, the entire spring onion turned into a spring onion flower.
The most amazing thing was that all the chopped spring onions landed perfectly on the cutting board, without a single one spilling out.
"Wow!" Chen Yongge exclaimed in surprise, his mouth agape. "You learned this in one night?"
Niu Yichen said arrogantly, "What do you think? Impressive, isn't it!"
Chen Yongge said, "You forced us to give you more screen time! Come on! What else can you do? Show us!"
Niu Yichen laughed and said, "You only have one spring onion here, what can I do for you? You'd better buy more vegetables! Chicken, duck, fish, anything is fine, but let me be clear, I only know how to do cool-looking moves. If you really want to experience the taste, then you've come to the wrong person!"
"Okay! Grocery shopping is easy!" After saying that, Chen Yongge thought for a moment and said, "How about this? You change into your God of Cooking clothes. We have cameras today, so let's record you cooking!"
"Great! I don't mind at all!"
"Okay, then it's decided!" Chen Yongge said. "Go to the dressing room and wait. Someone will do your makeup in a moment. I'll arrange some other equipment first!"
Niu Yichen pointed at his face, "What? This doesn't count as wearing makeup?"
"This isn't makeup!" Chen Yongge said. "It's just trying on clothes! Don't underestimate us! Go to the dressing room and wait!"
Niu Yichen smiled and entered the dressing room.
Even before Niu Yichen entered the changing room, he could already hear the sounds of girls playing around him.
Niu Yichen knocked on the door first, and only after being invited in did he push the door open and go inside.
In the changing room, several fairies were tidying up their clothes and looked at Niu Yichen with sparkling eyes as he entered, their expressions somewhat restrained.
Niu Yichen noticed that Jiang Xin was holding a piece of fur, Huo Siyan was barefoot, her face was flushed, and there were some tears in her eyes, but her face was full of smiles.
Hmm... it feels like the soles of my feet are being tickled with feathers.
After realizing that the room was full of women, Niu Yichen subconsciously glanced at the name of the dressing room and said, "I'm here to wait for the makeup artist, I didn't enter the wrong room, right?"
Huo Siyan quickly walked over, ran to Niu Yichen's side, put her arm around him, and laughed, "No! We only have one changing room! The left side is for men, and the right side is for women. You can go to the left side!"
Niu Yichen then realized that the room was not small at all; even if it were divided into two, the room would still be big enough for several people.
Huo Siyan then said, "You saved me! Come on, let me take you there!"
While speaking, Huo Siyan raised his eyebrows at the group of fairies as if joking.
"~Eek~" The fairies shouted at him in dissatisfaction, but could only watch helplessly as he 'escaped the clutches of evil'.
Huo Siyan led Niu Yichen to the men's changing room. As they walked, her soft breasts rubbed against Niu Yichen's arm, changing shape slightly, making Niu Yichen feel a strong itch.
The men's dressing room was empty, except for a few sets of clothes lying around. The clothes belonged to Zheng Guolin, who played Dong Yong, and Wu Yue, who played Yu Ri. Both of them still had scenes to shoot and were outside.
If it weren't for the 'fairies' waiting outside, and it was just Huo Siyan and her here, this environment would definitely be very beautiful!
what a shame...
To prevent himself from losing control, Niu Yichen pulled his arm out of Huo Siyan's embrace and asked, "What's wrong with you two? I think you two are making a scene!"
"This is all your fault!" Huo Siyan laughed. "My skin is so much better, and they keep asking me for my skincare secret! Tell me, if I tell them, what will they do...?"
Niu Yichen laughed and said, "Don't even try! They're not stupid, they won't believe you!"
"What if they believe it?" Huo Siyan looked at her. "If they believe it, are you willing?"
"The question should be... are you willing?"
The atmosphere became silent.
After waiting for a while, Huo Siyan suddenly asked, "By the way, I remember you weren't supposed to have any scenes today! What are you doing here?"
"I originally came to discuss the script and do a simple makeup try-on!" Niu Yichen answered honestly, "However, I just showed Director Chen my cooking skills, so he decided to film the God of Cookery's cooking effects first! So I came here to change again!"
"Cooking God Costume?" Huo Siyan turned around and said, "I know that!"
After saying that, she searched in the closet and took out a long light gold dress, saying, "This is it. I remember the stylist said you should try it on first!"
"Okay!" Niu Yichen took the outer robe and put it on without hesitation.
They are all veteran actors, so they are very familiar with this kind of period drama.
After putting it on, Niu Yichen went out with Huo Siyan—the wig was fitted outside by the stylist.
As Niu Yichen stepped out, all the girls waiting for Huo Siyan were shocked.
Niu Yichen is handsome, and with a popularity rating of 70 points among women, even Yang Rui was a little moved when he came out wearing ancient costumes!
Even though the short hair looks a bit odd, there's no denying that he's handsome.
"Wow!" Liu Yang, the actress who played Princess Hong'er, jumped in front of Niu Yichen and said, "I really didn't expect it! My beloved man would be this handsome!"
At first, her boyfriend was the ugliest, but now it's the opposite.
However, these words made Huo Siyan unhappy, and she said, "What do you mean by 'your man'? Are you confessing your love?!"
Liu Yang jumped to Niu Yichen's side, just like Huo Siyan did when they came in, and grabbed Niu Yichen's arm, saying to Huo Siyan, "Seventh Brother, I'm the eldest daughter! Isn't the God of Cooking the eldest daughter's husband?"
Liu Yang might be a B cup, her breasts are only slightly larger than An Yixuan's, much smaller than Huo Siyan's, but firmer. Most importantly, she's now wearing a princess costume, just like Huo Siyan.
Remembering how Huo Siyan, dressed in his costume, had made love to him last night, Niu Yichen couldn't help but imagine Liu Yang in his costume with him. A wave of heat spread through his lower abdomen, and his face flushed.
"You're blushing!" Liu Yang mistook her for embarrassment and laughed, "You better get ready! We're going to have a lot of scenes together! Not just holding hands, but there will be even more intimate things!"
"Of course it's not because I'm embarrassed!" Niu Yichen quickly said, "I just want to practice my acting skills!"
The girls burst out laughing again, while Huo Siyan gave Liu Yang a meaningful look, then looked at Niu Yichen, looking pensive.
Niu Yichen broke free from Liu Yang's grip, stepped back a few steps, and respectfully saluted them, saying, "I am the God of Food! Greetings to all the fairies!"
His gaze radiated a calm and friendly expression.
Wow! He really is a God of Cooking!
Among the girls, Cao Yan, who played the sixth fairy Lan'er, and Wang Jing, who played the third fairy Huang'er, thought it was just a joke and couldn't help but laugh.
However, Jiang Xin and Yang Rui recognized Niu Yichen's acting skills and couldn't help but admire him.
Although it was only a glance, for a moment just now, Niu Yichen truly thought of them as fairies from the heavenly palace, and himself as the God of Food.
After a while, the makeup artist Chen Yongge had arranged for Niu Yichen came in.
"Yichen?" This was a woman in her thirties.
Niu Yichen immediately stood up straight and walked over, "It's me!"
The makeup artist pulled out a chair and said, "Please sit down! We're running out of time, we'll start the makeup right away!"
"Thank You!"
Niu Yichen nodded, sat on the stool, and remained motionless while the makeup artist did her work.
There's a reason why we respect him.
Makeup artists are part of the "styling team," which, while seemingly inconspicuous, is one of the most important parts of a film or television production. This is because they directly influence the actors' on-screen appearance.
A skilled stylist and makeup artist can make an actor look more beautiful than they actually are, achieving a perfect 12/10 effect, as Liu Yifei did in the movie Little Dragon Girl.
A bad stylist and makeup artist can ruin a good TV series.
For example, Cheung Suk-ping, stylist for the TV series "Wind and Cloud 2".
Zhang Shuping has won many awards and honors, which seems very prestigious, but what is the end result?
In "Storm Riders 2," there were indeed many beautiful actresses. Qin Lan and Huang Yi were two of the most popular actresses at the time, but the director turned them into two ugly women!
He later did styling for several other TV series, but the results are best left unsaid.
Niu Yichen admired Zhang Shuping, but he admired the person who invited Zhang Shuping even more. How blind that person was!
If Niu Yichen becomes a director in the future, and someone dares to recommend Zhang Shuping as his stylist, he will definitely sink Zhang Shuping and the person who recommended him into the Pacific Ocean!
Having said all that, it all boils down to one thing: a stylist is essential.
The costume designer for the drama Seven Fairies, though relatively unknown, is quite skilled. Just look at the girls' costumes—fashionable but not overdone, they're refreshing and a perfect blend of modern and classic styles.
Moreover, the details of each girl's style are different, almost completely highlighting their beauty.
The role of a stylist is as simple as that: to bring out the beauty of the actors.
...
The makeup artist chosen to create Niu Yichen's headdress looks quite skilled.
The God of Food in Heaven's attire was blue, purple, and yellow, which was combined in such a way as to be eye-catching but not overdone. In such a situation, he only wore an ancient wig on his head, and his entire appearance really stood out.
With an image like Niu Yichen, he can wear a wig in any style, which means that as long as he doesn't overdo it, he is definitely a handsome man.
"Tch ck! It's true!"
After selecting and fitting the wig for the Culinary God, the makeup artist, while applying makeup to Niu Yichen, exclaimed, "Yichen! Your makeup foundation is so good! If you don't become famous in the future, I'll drink all my makeup serum!"
Niu Yichen laughed and said, "Then, to prevent you from drinking that cosmetic liquid, I really have to become famous!"
"Don't feel pressured! With your looks, you'll definitely be famous!" She couldn't help but touch Niu Yichen's face again, saying, "And your skin too!"
After saying that, she turned to Huo Siyan and said, "Seventh Sister! I finally met someone whose skin is even better than yours, and he's a man! And you guys, stop constantly criticizing Seventh Sister, you can ask her for advice too!"
"Really?" Liu Yang immediately walked over, looked closely at Niu Yichen's face, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He raised his hand to show his face and said, "I never thought you, Yichen, as a boy, would have skin that's softer than ours!"
Niu Yichen laughed and said, "Because I'm only 17 years old!"
"Hey, let's not talk about age!" Liu Yang said. "Age doesn't matter, we're all still young! Sisters, don't you agree?"
"Of course!" Huo Siyan also came over and pinched Niu Yichen's cheek, saying, "You've offended all of us by saying that!"
Yang Rui chimed in, "That's right!"
Jiang Xin stepped closer and smiled, "Let's talk about your beauty secret!"
...
Niu Yichen knew he wasn't good with words, so he could only awkwardly apologize. But he really couldn't explain how he maintained his good looks. The hardest thing was accepting kindness from a beautiful woman!
When Huo Siyan was alone, Niu Yichen wanted to devour him, but now that all seven of them were around, it was a disaster!
Niu Yichen is about to explode!
Speaking of which... The Pure Love System or something, it seems like there's still some work to be done, right...? Is that even possible?
