•Main director Yao Xiaofeng complimented on BaiLu's dedication and bravery to act as Xia Fenghua•🌽
YXF: "At first BaiLu's image contrasted with the kind of image I had in my mind because she's too pretty ( ps: he was thinking that BaiLu is so beautiful to play a role of Xia Feng Hua who's not that beautiful). The original Huazi I imagined is not this pretty, and is someone that you wouldn't notice if you're to put her in the middle of a crowd".
YXF:" so we had her underwent some makeup transformation before start filming".
1️⃣First step : "cut her hair short"
2️⃣Second step: "make her look tanned"
3️⃣Third step : "wear braces"
YXF: "BaiLu is very cooperative and she has never said that she is worried about her appearance (no idol baggage). (ps: who knows BaiLu , will know she is not kind of artist who cares about her appearence, she is an actress who don't care much if she looks pretty or not as long as she can give a life and do justice to her character).
YXF:" when she has reached a certain age and she arrived in Beijing, her image changed. It was like ugly duckling turned into a beautiful phoenix (or swan). Like washing all the lead (revealing one's beautiful and true self) but with the kind of beauty that makes you feel at ease to look at. This is what BaiLu possesses. "
(ps: you will see in the first eps of Northward that Feng Hua is a little tomboyish and doesn't care about her looks, she is someone spontaneous and enjoys her childhood and teenage withoutcaring about other things that will come in the future anyway ~~ after years she will become more mature?! elegant , but the same Feng Hua: kind and lovely, loves to make others happy, strong personality,her friends and family are her priority,helps others and loved by all the street and neighbors...)
