Chapter 506: Choice of Clothes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were mixed reviews of “Legend of Gan Lan” online, but most of them still felt that the filming was very good and looked forward to tomorrow’s broadcast. Jiang An did not care about these bad reviews because they were about to broadcast Gan Lan’s Awakening tomorrow.
When she was reviewing the script, she had deleted a lot of the earlier scenes. She knew that the audience did not have the patience to wait for the climax. She had to broadcast it as soon as possible.
Moreover, “Legend of Gan Lan” mainly talked about Gan Lan’s resistance. If she did not awaken quickly and remained in a numb state, the choices she made later would not be in line with her personality.
As a modern soul, even if Gan Lan temporarily submitted to the ancient system, she would quickly resist under such oppression. Gan Lan’s unyielding personality was the core of the entire drama.
Jiang An believed that after the Awakening scene was broadcasted, many people would definitely like Legend of Gan Lan.
Since the television drama had already been broadcasted, Jiang An had to cooperate with the publicity. Gu Sheng had bet all his a.s.sets on this, so he could not afford any failures. Therefore, he organized a very grand meeting to let the main creative team, the main leads, and the fans meet to attract the public’s attention.
Jiang An naturally had to go. Gu Sheng thoughtfully set the venue of the press conference in Xiyun so that Jiang An could go back and forth.
Just as Jiang An was about to dress for the conference, Mo Shen brought flowers to congratulate the premiere of the television drama.
“An’an, are you choosing a gown?” Mo Shen put down the bouquet and asked.
Jiang An pointed at the row of clothes and said, “I thought I shouldn’t dress too high-profilely. After all, I wasn’t the only one who completed the television drama, but Zou Bai said that since I’m the main lead, I should dress up.”
Zou Bai said, “The main character of ‘Legend of Gan Lan’ is Gan Lan. Of course, An’an has to dress up a little more grandly. In the entertainment industry, keeping a low profile isn’t considered a virtue.”
Zou Bai was right. The entertainment industry was a highly publicized place. If no one paid attention to it, it was no different from dying. Everyone hoped that they could shine forever in front of the camera.
Mo Shen thought for a moment and said, “Then, should An’an appear in a Gan Lan costume? Not only will it highlight your role as the female lead, but it will also serve as a publicity stunt.”
Jiang An frowned. “But Gan Lan is basically covered in dust all the time now. Her clothes are also made of rags.”
As a lowly commoner in the early stages, Gan Lan had already used all her strength to survive. Naturally, she couldn’t wear anything special. Jiang An was even dressed worse than an extra.
In other television dramas, the female lead had to be the most special one. Even if she had to be a beggar because of the plot, she would at most smear some dust on her face. She would never end up like Jiang An. This was because they were more concerned with always being beautiful in front of the camera.
Gu Sheng had also considered this point when preparing the costume, so he only used an inconspicuous color. He did not intend to make Jiang An look too sorry.
However, Jiang An felt that this didn’t match the plot at all. Her clothes had to be dirty and torn, and her face so dirty that it would be impossible to tell what she originally looked like.
If it weren’t for those beautiful eyes, Gu Sheng wouldn’t have recognized the person in front of him as Jiang An.
Mo Shen had also watched the series on TV last night. Thinking that it was indeed inappropriate to attend the press conference like that, he thought for a while and said, “Has Gan Lan always been dressed like this since then?”
“In the end, as the leader of the rebellion, Gan Lan naturally had to change her clothes. Although it’s not considered luxurious clothes, it’s better than now,” Jiang An said.
“Do you have a photo that I can take a look at?” Mo Shen leaned over and asked.
Jiang An showed her all the photos on her phone. Mo Shen pointed at a red dress and asked, “When did you get this?”
“This was when Gan Lan vowed to bring everyone away from the past to find freedom. That was already the middle of the plot. Because she wanted to express her unyielding nature, she wore a more pa.s.sionate color,” Jiang An recalled the plot.
Mo Shen nodded. “Then wear this set. When the plot reaches this point, the audience will understand what you wanted to express at the press conference.”
Zou Bai agreed. “Mo Shen is right. This way, you can show off your role as the female lead without stealing everyone’s attention. You can also communicate with the public as Gan Lan.”
Although Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi did not know the plot, they agreed. “Mommy looks good in this dress.”
Since they all said so, Jiang An would listen. “Alright, I’ll wear this..”
