Tu Hengchuan was getting his makeup done in the makeshift dressing room when his assistant rushed in from outside, barely even letting out a groan when the curtain hit her on the forehead.
Because this was her first drama after taking over the role of Tu Hengchuan, Sister Yu attached great importance to it and personally oversaw everything from makeup and costume to filming.
"What's wrong?"
Sister Yu no longer disliked Song Yifei as she had at the beginning. After spending these days together, she discovered that this young girl had a tenacious spirit that refused to give up, much like herself when she was young.
The important thing is not to gossip.
"Sister Yu, something happened to the actress; she fainted. The director and the others are discussing whether to postpone filming."
Song Yifei had run all the way here, and she was a little out of breath as she spoke.
Sister Yu's expression changed as she looked at Tu Hengchuan, whose makeup and styling were almost complete.
The scene at the pool has already been filmed halfway through. Hengchuan is in good condition right now, and if we delay filming, it will probably be difficult to capture this feeling.
At that moment, the curtain at the door was lifted, and a staff member wearing a hat walked in: "Sister Yu, the director wants you to come over for a moment."
The makeup artist was a little unsure of what to do and looked at Sister Yu: "Sister, shall we continue with this?"
"change!"
After finishing speaking, she followed the staff out. Song Yifei felt a little awkward staying there, so she simply followed behind Sister Yu, thinking that she could learn something from her.
It was getting dark, but the shed outside was quite bright, just like daytime.
Occasionally, the chirping of insects could be heard.
"director."
When Sister Yu walked to the door, she saw the director and a few others sitting inside, looking extremely anxious and unsure of what to do.
"They're here?" The middle-aged director looked up. "It's like this, the actress is having some issues, so filming can't start today. We have two options: one is to postpone this scene, and the other..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sister Yu said, "Let's choose another one, use a stand-in."
The director didn't object. The close-up shots of the pool scene were almost finished; all that was left was to shoot a few shots of other body contact.
As for a body double, he hasn't found a suitable one yet.
Just when he was feeling extremely worried, he suddenly saw Song Yifei standing behind Sister Yu.
His eyes lit up; this height and build were just right.
"Hey girl over there, come here for a second."
Song Yifei looked left and right and found that everyone's eyes were on her. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a figure rush in from outside with lightning speed.
"Okay, director, I'm here!"
Su Ping felt her throat was so dry it was practically on fire, but thankfully she made it in time.
Everyone stared blankly at the woman who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The director coughed awkwardly twice and turned his gaze to Su Ping, who was standing in front of him, slightly out of breath.
With just one glance, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
The woman's fair skin had a light pinkish tinge after exercise. Her small face was unmade-up, but she had a good foundation, with firm features and a charming yet innocent look.
This kind of appearance allows for a wide range of acting roles, which is rare in the entertainment industry.
"no."
After thinking about it, he still shook his head and denied it.
The girl's appearance was clearly much more sophisticated than the female lead he had chosen for his TV dramas, making him feel like it was all unreal.
"I think it's a good idea." Sister Yu looked Su Ping up and down, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
Such a promising talent, if properly nurtured, will definitely become a household name in the future.
"Putting aside where she came from, she's so beautiful that it feels like she's deceiving the audience."
The director shook his head, looking at Su Ping with some regret.
Sister Yu stepped forward: "I think it's pretty good. She doesn't have to show her face, and her figure is quite suitable."
This reminded the director that, ignoring her face, she was indeed very suitable; even a professional stunt double couldn't portray this feeling.
When Song Yifei saw Su Ping, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She had been locked up in the mountains for several days and was finally seeing someone she knew.
Just as I was about to greet her when no one was looking, I heard someone behind me quietly calling my name.
She turned her head with some confusion and saw the face she had been longing for day and night.
Song Yifei, who hadn't shed a tear despite the harsh conditions these past few days, couldn't help but tear up and threw herself into Xu Yichen's arms outside.
Su Ping was ultimately chosen to be the female lead's body double.
After Sister Yu called the female lead's agent to explain the situation, she led Su Ping directly to Tu Hengchuan's dressing room.
"Young lady, are you interested in acting?" The more Sister Yu looked at her, the more satisfied she became. She hadn't signed any actors all these years because she hadn't found one she clicked with.
She fell in love with the little girl in front of her at first sight.
Su Ping had no idea about acting, so she shook her head and declined.
Sister Yu sighed with some regret, but she wouldn't give up.
"It's okay, this is my personal WeChat. You can contact me anytime if you're interested in the future."
After Sister Yu finished speaking, the QR code was already extended in front of Su Ping.
Seeing her expectant gaze, Su Ping couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she opened her phone and the two added each other on WeChat.
Hearing the noise, Tu Hengchuan looked towards the door from the mirror and saw Su Ping's familiar face. He was stunned and wondered if he was hallucinating.
"Brother Chuan, it's been a long time." Su Ping looked at Tu Hengchuan with a bright smile.
Sister Yu was a little surprised: "You two know each other?"
Su Ping nodded. Not only did she recognize her, but she was also the girlfriend who had been criticizing everyone on Weibo recently.
However, the two of them tacitly kept quiet about it, and Sister Yu only regarded them as unfamiliar friends.
Just as I sat down, a girl carrying a makeup bag rushed in.
She was the makeup artist in charge of the female lead's makeup throughout the entire film.
This scene tells the story of the female protagonist, who has just joined the sect, accidentally stumbles into a pool and encounters the Demon Lord who is healing. The Demon Lord discovers that her blood can alleviate the toxins in his body, and thus a bond is formed between them.
While the makeup artist was doing Su Ping's makeup, Sister Yu sent Su Ping the script for the scene.
"Don't be nervous, just get a general idea of the plot, and Hengchuan will cooperate with you."
Looking at the descriptions of physical movements above, Su Ping couldn't help but blush and feel her heart race at the thought of performing them with Tu Hengchuan in front of so many people.
Since it's a scene involving falling into the water, changing into the costume, putting on a wig, and doing a quick touch-up of makeup is all that's needed.
The makeup artist looked at Su Ping's face; her pores were almost invisible, and her skin was as smooth and white as a peeled egg. It was exactly the face of her dreams.
You don't even need to apply foundation. Just draw your eyebrows and then add some lipstick, and you'll be perfect.
