"Sister An, I..."
"Ah, hello everyone, am I... a little late?" A young man in simple attire approached slowly, beads of sweat on his forehead from anxiety. He ran to the crew and apologized hastily. The others were a bit bewildered, saying it was unnecessary. After seeing Wen Lai'an and Jing Zuohuai, he came over to apologize again.
Wen Lai'an quickly helped him up. "You're not late, don't be so nervous." She asked the assistant to bring some wet wipes. "Let me introduce you briefly. This is Jing Zuohuai, your senior. Xiao Jing, this is Li Yiming, one of the popular idol stars."
"I know, Brother Jing, he's my idol!" Li Yiming smiled brightly at him. "It's my honor to act with Brother Jing. Please take care of me in the future!"
Jing Zuohuai nodded, having a good first impression of the man before him. Jing Zuohuai simply liked humble and sincere people. He shook his outstretched hand and gave him a friendly smile, "Hello, please take care of me."
There was a stinging sensation in his palms from the clenching. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that he was using too much force.
Is it because you are too nervous?
"Okay, you two should get familiar with each other first. If you don't understand something, just ask Xiaojing. Don't be nervous." Wen Lian said and went to get busy.
Li Yiming agreed and followed Jing Zuohuai into the dressing room.
Jing Zuohuai took the clothes He Zhijin brought and went into the dressing room. After he was done, he came out to let the makeup artist put on his makeup. Li Yiming looked at the script and picked up his phone to text something. Jing Zuohuai took a look and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me and we can discuss it together."
Li Yiming glanced up at him, his originally flat lips curving slightly. "Okay, Brother Jing, you can just call me Xiao Li. There's nothing I don't understand right now, I can do it myself. I'll ask you later if I have questions."
Jing Zuohuai nodded, "Okay."
I didn’t expect that he was a child who liked to study on his own.
He had already read the script at home, and found it very detailed in its emotional and inner struggles. Although it was based on himself, he added many details to enrich the character.
When reading the script, Jing Zuohuai treated the protagonist of the play as another different person, and also searched for many unfortunate experiences from his original family.
His sense of empathy is so strong that just reading some of the text feels suffocating.
I know the makeup artist Jing Zuohuai. He is the most outstanding card under Wen Lian'an. He has worked in many crews. When it comes to makeup, he can modify it according to each person's bone structure, so as to draw the makeup that best suits them.
He just seems a little... not very serious.
"OK." The makeup artist patted his shoulder. "Baby Jing, you've lost too much weight. Is this really a legitimate weight loss?"
It’s the first time a boy calls me baby...I’m still a little uncomfortable.
Jing Zuohuai felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden pat on his shoulder. His hand was quite strong and a dull pain came over his shoulder. "Teacher Pan's hand is still this strong."
"Hahaha, it's okay!" Pan smiled. "You look pretty good. Let me simply trim your eyebrows. You'll look photogenic like this."
Jing Zuohuai sat there obediently, letting him do his bidding. Pan also noticed the new face sitting quietly looking at his phone, imagining his makeup.
After finishing the painting for Jing Zuohuai, he looked at it with satisfaction and said, "Okay, Jing darling, you can go read the script, or just take a walk and get familiar with the environment." He waved Li Yiming over, "New face."
"Hello, Teacher Pan, I'm Li Yiming, you can just call me Xiao Li..."
Jing Zuohuai was about to go out, and He Zhijin hurried to follow him because he was worried about his condition.
The crew had already begun filming the exterior scenes. To align with Jing Zuohuai's past, they chose a small suburban area in a neighboring province. Wen Lai'an, holding the microphone, communicated with the filming supervisor, meticulously detailing every detail.
I sat on a chair beside him, holding the script, and opened the first chapter...
