Seeing that Yao Zijun had left, Xiao Hua didn't want to linger. "Sister Wanzheng, I'm going home to pack my things. If you want anything to eat or drink, you can call me."

"Okay, be careful on the road,"

Xiao Hua also left the room, and the spacious room suddenly became quiet.

She took the script, lay down on the bed, burying her head in the pillow, her soft, long hair spreading out and covering the entire pillow.

She held the script in front of her, reading it word by word, savoring every detail. As she read, she kept trying to understand the characters' inner thoughts and imagining how such characters would act and react when faced with events described in the script.

These things really test an actor's ability and skill.

The movie they filmed this time, "I Saw Another You," tells the story of the female protagonist, Wei Wan, who lost her family in an accident when she was young. She grew up and worked in a police station doing clerical work. Many cases with hidden mysteries occurred in Tongcheng. The female protagonist, who should have been doing her job honestly, was drawn into these cases because of a mysterious woman. The male protagonist, Xia Zijin, pieced together the truth based on the clues he obtained and discovered that something was wrong with the female protagonist.

In the end, the female lead catches the real culprit who destroyed her family years ago, while the male lead gets to know her and gradually falls in love with her during the process of solving cases.

Besides the various cases, the most intriguing aspect of the drama is the mysterious woman who sparks the imagination. When she first appeared, no one knew who she was, but Xia Zijin, through a series of details and unintentional calculations, discovered that this mysterious woman looked exactly like Wei Wan, yet their personalities were completely different.

Xia Zijin considered many possibilities: were they twins, a coincidence, or perhaps, the two were the same person?

Seeing this, Lu Wanzheng herself began to wonder. Although she played two roles, the characters had different names, and the text said that the two looked exactly alike. So, were Wei Wan and Zhu Xi the same person? What was their relationship? She hadn't read the script, so she wasn't very clear. However, Wei Wan and Zhu Xi had never appeared in the same scene.

This reminded her of another possibility: Wei Wan and Zhu Xi might be two personalities sharing the same body, but it was unknown which one was the dominant personality.

This possibility cannot be ruled out. Wei Wan suffered a major upheaval in her family when she was young, leaving an indelible mark on her heart, which could very well lead to the emergence of a second personality.

Upon seeing this, Lu Wanzheng wanted to applaud the script. The case was handled with great detail in many places. Of course, the case itself also reflected the current state of society. The only regret was that the movie itself was not long enough. The movie was only about ninety minutes long, and just when you were looking forward to more, the story was about to end.

It's quite difficult to film something so detailed in a limited time. She remembered that the movie was adapted from a novel, and she guessed that the novel would cover more cases than the movie. It seemed that she would have to find some time to read the original book.

It's worth mentioning that Zhu Xi's scenes in this drama include quite a few action scenes, which Lu Wanzheng found the most exciting part—a police-criminal battle that was incredibly thrilling!

Lu Wanzheng sat up in bed, no longer lying down as casually as before. She leaned against the headboard and stuffed all the pillows behind her back for cushioning.

She usually loves reading novels and has developed the ability to read quickly without missing any details.

She finished reading the entire script in just one afternoon. After finishing it, she was still very interested and the only thought in her mind was whether there would be a sequel.

As expected of a renowned director in the entertainment industry, her eye for selecting scripts is truly sharp. This script has a very high chance of winning an award, and she might even get a Best Actress nomination.

However, all of this depends on the completion of the filming, so when filming starts tomorrow, she needs to work hard, not falter, and keep a good balance.

Xiao Hua knocked on Lu Wanzheng's door with lunch in hand. It was getting late, so Lu Wanzheng ate a few bites and then took Xiao Hua to the film set where they were taking stills.

Lu Wanzheng and Xiaohua walked towards the photo studio and saw a familiar person walking towards the studio in the distance.

Xiang Yan and Zhong Yunyue probably had lunch together. The two walked into the studio side by side, chatting and laughing. Xiang Yan was only amiable in front of Zhong Yunyue. He was basically unsmiling in front of others, and there was a bit of pressure in his presence.

The photographer was still adjusting the studio lights, while the makeup artist was already ready in the dressing room. When Zhong Yunyue saw that Lu Wanzheng had arrived at the studio, he immediately greeted her. His enthusiasm surprised his friend Xiang Yan slightly, and Xiang Yan's expression changed as he looked at Zhong Yunyue, but he quickly recovered.

"Then let's go do our makeup and change clothes first." Zhong Yunyue said to Xiang Yan, and then led Lu Wanzheng to the makeup room. The makeup room was shared by everyone, while the changing rooms were separated by gender.

At this point, people were already getting their makeup done in the dressing room. The crew didn't have enough makeup artists, and having their own makeup artists at this stage seemed useless. Only the crew's makeup artists knew what kind of makeup the actors should have.

Lu Wanzheng sat alone in front of the makeup mirror, silently waiting for a makeup artist to become available after another actor finished their makeup. She was in a situation where she received absolutely no treatment befitting a leading lady.

However, she remained calm and composed, waiting patiently. It was only because she hadn't arrived earlier than the others that she was there. She couldn't act like the female lead; she could simply wait for the others to film first and have hers filmed last.

Zhong Yunyue was also waiting. His mindset was basically the same as Lu Wanzheng's. Everyone in the crew was an actor, so there was no point in arguing about who came first.

This is why Zhong Yunyue's gentle personality is well-known both inside and outside the entertainment industry.

One actor's makeup was just finished, and a makeup artist became available. However, there were two people waiting in line for makeup: Lu Wanzheng and Zhong Yunyue.

If the makeup artist were to choose, she would of course choose Zhong Yunyue. The opportunity to do makeup for a movie star is one that comes along very quickly.

The makeup artist picked up her makeup case and walked over to Zhong Yunyue. "Actor Zhong, let me do your makeup."

Zhong Yunyue was playing on her phone when she heard the sound. She looked up, glanced at the makeup artist, and then shifted her gaze to the mirror. Through the mirror's reflection, she saw that Lu Wanzheng was also looking down at her phone, waiting for her makeup to be done.

Zhong Yunyue politely said, "I'm not in a hurry. You go and help Lu Wanzheng with her makeup first. Ladies first." Then he lowered his head again.

The makeup artist, holding her brush, felt somewhat embarrassed. Since Zhong Yunyue had already said so, she couldn't very well insist on having him lean in closer. Resigned, she picked up her suitcase again and quickly walked to Lu Wanzheng's side.

The makeup artist was in a bad mood, and the natural makeup didn't turn out as well as she had imagined.

Zhong Yunyue was still waiting for another makeup artist. Bored, he got up and wandered around the dressing room to stretch his muscles.

He walked behind Lu Wanzheng and looked at her in the mirror. Lu Wanzheng's eyes were tightly closed. She usually liked to close her eyes when doing her makeup, which made it easier for the makeup artist to apply eye makeup. So she had no idea what her face looked like. Zhong Yunyue looked at Lu Wanzheng's overall makeup, from her chin to her forehead. He frowned and stared at Lu Wanzheng in the mirror with his dark eyes. "Her eyebrows are not suitable for this makeup look."

Zhong Yunyue has acted in many dramas and has gained experience in makeup. He is not the kind of man who judges whether a woman is wearing makeup based on whether she is wearing lipstick.

Logically speaking, an experienced makeup artist wouldn't make such a simple mistake; it's clear her mind wasn't focused on doing a good job of applying makeup.

He pointed out the problem with the makeup directly, but he spoke very softly so as not to disturb anyone else, which was a way of giving the makeup artist face.

Hearing Zhong Yunyue's voice, Lu Wanzheng lazily lifted her eyelids and looked at herself in the mirror. She focused on her eyebrows and quickly frowned. They were indeed very ugly... absolutely hideous! With such thick eyebrows, was she trying to make her play a burly man with thick eyebrows?

"Could you please wipe it off and redo my makeup? Thank you." Lu Wanzheng spoke in what she considered a relatively kind tone; she wouldn't lose her temper over such a trivial matter.

The makeup artist blushed. Realizing she had acted impulsively after being told that by the two people, she immediately apologized and quickly wiped off the eyebrows she had just drawn.

Zhong Yunyue left only after seeing the eyebrows she was satisfied with.

The makeup artist glanced at Zhong Yunyue's broad shoulders and narrow waist from behind and breathed a sigh of relief. The entire crew knew about Zhong Yunyue's relationship with Xiang Yan. If he said just one word, she would definitely leave the crew and lose her job. Fortunately, Zhong Yunyue didn't pursue the matter.

What was unexpected was that Zhong Yunyue and Lu Wanzheng had such a good relationship, which made the makeup artist even more careful and attentive in her subsequent actions.

Zhong Yunyue soon received another makeup artist.

After the two finished their makeup and put on the clothes provided by the production crew, they arrived at the film studio.

Several actors have already had their costume fitting photos taken.

Because Lu Wanzheng is playing two roles, she needs one more costume fitting photo than others, which means her filming process will be more complicated.

Xiang Yan: "Your outfit is Wei Wan's makeup. Let's take pictures of Wei Wan first. We'll take a few individual photos first, and then a few group photos."

Lu Wanzheng: "Okay."

Zhong Yunyue: "Okay."

Just then, an actor stepped down from the camera platform, and the filming area became empty.

"I'll go take the photos first, you can get a feel for it." Zhong Yunyue said to Lu Wanzheng, turning to the side, and then walked forward.

Zhong Yunyue has a great sense of presence in front of the camera. Wearing a police uniform, he suddenly exudes a fierce aura, losing his usual gentle and mild demeanor.

In the photo, his pose is very cool, and his gaze is very engaging.

When it was Lu Wanzheng's turn, she took a deep breath and walked towards the filming area.

She was wearing the same clothes as Zhong Yunyue, both police uniforms, except that Lu Wanzheng's clothes were women's style, and she was wearing black-rimmed glasses that covered her beautiful eyes.

To put it simply, Wei Wan was like an ordinary young girl, living a routine life, seemingly without any ambitions. She was conventional in her actions, the kind of well-behaved girl everyone saw. She was also very easygoing, like a girl next door. Despite having a painful past, she lived a positive and optimistic life—that was her in the beginning.

Lu Wanzheng grasped this point quite well. Xiang Yan stood behind the photographer, watching Lu Wanzheng keep changing her poses. Looking at her now, she actually looked a little bit cool.

"Alright," Xiang Yan called out, "Wei Wan's solo part is almost done. Yun Yue, you can go now."

This was the first time the two had worked together, and Lu Wanzheng was inevitably a little nervous; she felt her hands and feet were a bit cold.

"Don't be nervous, you did very well just now." Zhong Yunyue felt that Lu Wanzheng's movements had become a little stiff since he appeared on camera, and were not as smooth as before.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzheng closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forcefully exhaled the air from her lungs.

She opened her eyes in an instant. "Let's begin."

The studio was very quiet; you could clearly hear the photographer pressing the shutter.

After finishing with Wei Wan, Lu Wanzheng immediately went to the changing room, took off her glasses, changed out of her police uniform, and put on the casual clothes prepared by the costume designer.

This time, her makeup was more refined than before. She contoured her jawline, making her face look thinner, which matched the script.

When Xia Zijin saw Zhu Xi, she always felt that her figure was very similar to Wei Wan's, but the part of her face that was exposed was somewhat different. The reason why she said exposed part was because every time Zhu Xi appeared, she wore a mask on her face, which covered the skin around her eyes, but instead revealed her big and beautiful eyes.

This is the difference in their appearance.

After a simple makeover, Lu Wanzheng put on the mask prepared by the prop master. The mask was simple, black, but with very subtle dark patterns on it. If you didn't look closely, you would just think it was a very ordinary black mask, but in the sunlight, the patterns could be clearly seen. It was luxurious but not ostentatious.

Lu Wanzheng walked out of the dressing room and reappeared in everyone's sight.

Her aura was completely different from before. Wei Wan was somewhat playful and cute before, but Zhu Xi was very cold now.

Xiang Yan's eyes lit up. This transformation was exactly what he wanted. As those who have read the novel know, Zhu Xi and Wei Wan are the same person, but Wei Wan and Zhu Xi are not the real Wei Wan. To put it simply, Zhu Xi's personality is to create momentum for her identity. She needs to use this identity to attract people in the shadows. On the other hand, Wei Wan's personality is to hide her and make her unnoticed by everyone. Someone like her would blend into the crowd and be completely lost, making it extremely difficult to find her.
