Chapter 48 (Exclusively published by Jinjiang)

At 5:30 in the morning, Shen Baili's biological clock rang on time.

She walked out of the room and found that Xie Tingsi had woken up earlier than her. He was drinking iced American coffee to relieve the swelling.

Xie Tingsi rented a villa near the crew. He and his assistants all lived there, which made it convenient for them to go to and from the set.

Where conditions permit, it is necessary to improve the working environment.

"Good morning, Xiao Lihua." Xie Tingsi was used to her routine: "Would you like some milk?"

Shen Baili said sleepily: "I drink some water."

Xie Tingsi poured her a cup of warm water: "Your dark circles..."

He took a closer look and found that Shen Baili did not have dark circles under her eyes. He changed his words: "You don't have dark circles, but your eyelids are fighting. Go back to sleep for a while."

"I just need to sober up."

As the warm water went down her throat, Shen Baili's mind became clearer: "Second brother, isn't your role at eight o'clock?"

"I have to do my makeup at 6:30 and get into character mode."

When it comes to his profession, Xie Tingsi becomes serious.

"Then I'll go to the crew with you later." Shen Baili was eager to try: "It's my first time watching people act, it must be very interesting."

Xie Tingsi was infected by her attitude of taking things seriously and suddenly felt nervous.

“Acting is fun.”

Shen Baili: "I'm looking forward to it."

…

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the set and everyone was busy.

Shen Baili was in the dressing room, curiously watching Xie Tingsi putting on makeup.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, your skin is in great condition." The makeup artist praised, "Just apply a simple foundation."

Xie Tingsi was born to work in the entertainment industry. He has great looks and a talent for acting.

"Thank you." Xie Tingsi knows how to handle strangers.

"Xiao Lihua, your brother is handsome, right?" He blinked at Xie Tingsi in the mirror, teasingly.

In fact, Xie Tingsi was also distant and polite to Shen Baili and her daughter at the beginning. He positioned them as strangers living under the same roof.

However, I don’t know since when, Xie Tingsi always likes to tease Shen Baili. Maybe it’s because she always pretends to be an adult, which makes him want to understand her inner thoughts?

Xie Tingsi follows his heart and does whatever he thinks of.

If he wants to know Shen Baili, then he should take the initiative to get to know her.

Later, Xie Tingsi accepted Shen Baili into his family and she became his sister.

A step-sister is still a sister, it’s fate.

Xie Tingsi strives to be an interesting and reliable brother.

Shen Baili looked at the handsome face in the mirror and resisted the urge to close her eyes.

"Big brother is more handsome!"

Xie Tingsi wanted to turn around, but found that the makeup artist was about to put on makeup. He raised his face to cooperate with the makeup artist, but he couldn't help but say, "Big brother and I look a lot like each other, which means I am also handsome."

"Oh, Xiao Lihua, if you want to praise me just say it, hahahahahahahahaha."

Xie Tingsi, a true logic genius.

Shen Baili admitted: "Second brother, you are also handsome."

There is not a single ugly person in the Xie family; they are all handsome men and beautiful women.

Xie Tingsi was satisfied: "Our little Lihua is indeed good at seeing things. I will buy you a sports car when my second brother gets his salary."

"When you're tired of studying, you can go out for a drive occasionally." The more Xie Tingsi talked, the more he felt it made sense.

The makeup artist was a little jealous after hearing this.

Shen Baili pulled back his wild thoughts and said rationally: "Thank you, brother, but I don't have a driver's license."

Xie Tingsi: "Then I'll take you for a ride."

"When you become an adult, go get a driver's license and take your second brother for a ride."

“You can go wherever you want.”

Shen Baili: "Okay, I'll wait for you to take us for a ride."

She plans to take a driver's license in two years. She is looking forward to being able to control the steering wheel by herself just thinking about it. She has a sense of certainty that she is in control of the direction of her destiny.

The makeup artist felt numb listening to the conversation between the top brother and sister.

There are so many rich people in the world, what's wrong with having one more person like her!

However, the crew of "Same Way" paid her the highest salary in her career, and everything went smoothly, whether it was makeup or fitting.

Except for Xie Tingsi and Shao Ang, the other actors in this movie are not very famous and no one is acting like a big shot.

Because the last person acted like a big shot, the investor terminated his contract and kicked him out of the crew.

Even if the director has changed, the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is still there.

Makeup artists like this kind of good working atmosphere without any problems and hope that it can be maintained so that they can earn money happily.

The more the makeup artist's heart was in turmoil, the steadier her hands moved.

"alright."

She looked at her work with satisfaction.

Xie Tingsi opened his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, and gave the makeup artist a thumbs up: "So handsome!"

This statement not only glorifies myself, but also the makeup artist.

Makeup artist: "Thank you, mainly thanks to the teacher's good foundation."

She was telling the truth, Xie Tingsi's face was perfect, and makeup just made it fit the character better and was the icing on the cake.

"I'm going to change my clothes."

Xie Tingsi stood up and told Shen Baili, "I'll be back soon, don't run around."

The crew was safe, but he couldn't help but worry, what if Shen Baili got lost?

Xie Tingsi finally empathized with his older brother and how he felt when he was taking care of a little kid like him.

If Shen Baili could hear his inner voice now, she would definitely complain to his face that Xie Tingsi was overthinking.

"I'll wait for you here."

The makeup artist also said: "I have been here the whole time. I am accompanying Teacher Xie's sister."

Xie Tingsi went to the dressing room, and the dressing room became quiet.

Shen Baili took the initiative to ask: "Sister, your makeup box is so cool."

The silver makeup box can be transformed into various shapes and is filled with the makeup artist's treasures.

When talking about her baby, the makeup artist has a lot to talk about: "It's cool, it's very convenient."

"I saved three months' salary to buy it."

Shen Baili: "Amazing!"

"Why does sister want to be a makeup artist?" she asked curiously.

The makeup artist answered without hesitation: "Because I like it."

"I chose early childhood education as my major in college. I interned in a kindergarten, but I didn't like the job, so I was thinking about a way out..."

"I really like makeup. I started to learn by myself at first. I did makeup for my friends and classmates. I worked hard from morning till night and saved up money for my makeup tuition..."

"Later, by chance, I became a makeup artist for the crew."

Shen Baili listened quietly. She was a listener who could easily make people want to confide in her.

She listened to the makeup artist's story of growing up and looked at the light in the girl's eyes.

very nice.

"Sister, I'm Shen Baili, what's your name?" She took the initiative to approach.

The makeup artist was stunned for a moment: "My name is Su Rao, Rao means Rao."

The two had a pleasant conversation and exchanged contact information.

"Good morning." Shao Ang walked into the dressing room with a smile.

"Good morning." Su Rao smiled back, "Teacher Shao, please sit here."

Shao Ang took a seat: "Excuse me."

Su Rao: "No problem, this is my job."

She carefully observed Shao Ang's skin condition and found it was not bad.

The actors in this crew are all very worry-free, and Su Rao's resentment about getting up early to go to work has dissipated a lot.

"Good morning, sister. Did you come here with Ting Si?" He looked around but didn't find anyone.

"The Taoist priest is here." Xie Tingsi was wearing a loose Taoist robe, and he looked relaxed and at ease.

"Student, do you need a fortune-teller?" He waved his hand and said, "It's free. I don't charge any money."

Shen Baili: "Well, I want to collect the money."

"How about I give you a hundred Vs and see your strength?" Xie Tingsi quickly took over her joke.

Shen Baili stretched out her hand: "Then you can take a look."

Xie Tingsi looked at her palm and found that she looked like a Taoist priest.

"The donor has a good palm. May your life be peaceful and smooth. All your wishes will come true."

He spoke in a serious and confident manner.

Shen Baili smiled: "Thank you for your kind words, Master."

Even though I knew Xie Tingsi was just talking nonsense, I still felt happy when I heard this.

There is a saying that is very true, sometimes metaphysics can also be a very good psychologist. Just go to the street and find a "master" to exaggerate and you will suddenly have an epiphany.

Shao Ang and Su Rao watched them interact and found it magical.

Su Rao didn't expect that Dingliu's personality was so easy-going and lively. There is nothing you can't see, only you can't think of it.

Anytime, anywhere.

Shao Ang spoke up: "Master, I'll give you 100 V, can you tell me a fortune as well?"

"Just... count my career luck."

Xie Tingsi waved his hands: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, old monk... I can only tell one fortune at a time."

"Donor, you can make an appointment for tomorrow."

Shao Ang: "Is that so? I'll make an appointment for tomorrow then."

"You must put me first in line, and don't let anyone cut in line." He warned seriously.

Xie Tingsi: "Then please pay first, by bank transfer or in cash?"

Shao Ang grabbed the phone and operated it quickly: "It's sent."

Xie Tingsi looked at his phone: "No... did you really turn it?"

Shao Ang: "Yes, you must calculate it for me tomorrow."

"Hahaha, I believe in your strength."

Xie Tingsi confiscated the red envelope and said, "Just call me brother and I'll give it to you."

Shao Ang was silent for three seconds: "Then I will cancel the order."

This time, it was Shen Baili's turn to watch their interaction.

She could only say that the two of them deserved to be friends because they were completely on the same wavelength.

She herself had completely forgotten the fortune-telling interaction between her and Xie Tingsi a second ago.

…

They chatted briefly in the dressing room, and Xie Tingsi relaxed a bit. He then took Shen Baili to the set.

The filming location had been set up long ago, and there were many staff members around, including the director team, props team, lighting and sound personnel, actors and crew members, and it was very lively.

Shen Baili looked at the inn scenery in the center of the crowd and couldn't help but admire the actors' sense of conviction. Wouldn't they burst into laughter while acting in front of a group of people?

The clapperboard fell on the spot, and the first scene of "People of the Same Path" officially began shooting.

Xie Tingsi instantly entered the role state.

In the quaint town inn, a man in a Taoist robe was leaning lazily against the window. On the table were a pot of wine and two plates of pork belly.

The storyteller was passionately describing the current situation, and the people around him were either enthusiastic or worried.

Only the man by the window was drinking and eating meat as if no one was around. His loose kimono was torn a little by his unruly movements, revealing his solid chest muscles.

Without a single line of dialogue, he used a series of body movements to interpret the image of an unusual Taoist priest.

When Shen Baili saw the close-up of the chest muscles, she immediately closed her eyes.

Well, his second brother’s time in the gym was not in vain, his chest muscles are very sexy.

Fan Bo saw her action and stopped when he was about to extend his hand to cover her.

The scene is not over yet.

Shen Baili continued reading and was involuntarily drawn into the plot by Xie Tingsi.

He doesn't seem to be Xie Tingsi. He is a Taoist priest who is both good and evil, unrestrained and uninhibited, a Taoist priest who believes in living for the moment and putting self-interest first.

…

"Card."

After the first scene was filmed smoothly, Xie Tingsi stood up and stretched his waist. His half-exposed shirt was open a lot, and he quickly pulled it back.

"It's so cold." Xie Tingsi shivered and quickly put on the coat Wu He handed over.

Wang Quan was very satisfied with this set of shots and looked very happy.

"Thank you for your hard work. This is the breakfast and milk tea that Ting Si specially prepared for everyone. Everyone is welcome to come and claim it."

Shen Baili looked over in the direction of the sound and saw a capable woman with short hair. She was smiling and greeting everyone, and was very approachable.

The woman walked over here, greeted Director Wang Quan first, and asked Assistant Cheng Hui to distribute the prepared breakfast to the directors.

It was another exciting social event.

Shen Baili finally met Cheng Hui, and remembered the identity of this confident and calm workplace queen.

Yan Qiaolan, a gold medal agent in the entertainment industry, once brought out two best actor and one best actress. After being backstabbed by her former employer, she turned around and made her former employer bleed heavily.

Now, she is the exclusive agent of Xie Ting Si.

At the same time, Shen Baili heard the voice of A Deng unlocking a new chapter.

Her guess was confirmed.

If she wants to unlock chapters and gain more information, she needs to meet or get close to key characters.

For example, an assistant, or... Yan Qiaolan?

Shen Baili suddenly realized that Yan Qiaolan's presence in the first two chapters was almost zero.
