Chapter 232 The Hungry Female
Lead The crew had arrived early and were setting up the scene and props.
Seeing Liu Wangxue coming, they all greeted her: "Writer Liu, why are you here so early?"
Liu Wangxue smiled and responded: "Compared to you, this is still early for me, right?"
"That's different," said a guy in charge of props. "We workers must always be ahead of the director in everything we do."
Liu Wangxue has a good temper and usually helps everyone in the crew with work within his ability. After getting to know each other, they often joke around and have fun together.
"Don't give me that," Liu Wangxue said, "Who here isn't a wage earner?"
After he finished speaking, Ni Jia's weak voice rang out from behind him: "I'm here to report as a wage earner."
"What's wrong with you?" Liu Wangxue hurried over to support her, worried that she might be feeling unwell.
Ni Jia glanced at the young assistant, who immediately looked up at the sky guiltily.
Ni Jia hugged Liu Wangxue and complained: "Sister Xuxu, I'm hungry! She won't let me eat——"
The assistant immediately retorted, "I didn't! Screenwriter Liu, she ate a whole bowl of cereal."
Yesterday, when we went to the orchard in Taoyuan Town, Ni Jia took advantage of his assistant not paying attention and ate a lot of fruits and snacks, all of which were high in sugar and calories.
The assistant was so worried. Li Zhaonan would come over in a few days. Her eyes were like a ruler. If she found that Ni Jia had gained weight, the assistant was afraid of being scolded. So she deducted half of Ni Jia's sandwich without salad dressing for breakfast today.
"Not really," Liu Wangxue acted as a peacemaker, "I'll tell Sister Nan when she comes. If it really doesn't work out, there's still the director. The director didn't even say she's fat, so who would dare to complain about her being fat?"
Ni Jia felt a little guilty instantly. Last time in Taojia Village, Jing Yujun had already ordered her. Since then, she didn't even dare to eat more of the dessert sent by Qiu Xiangrong. She only took a small bite and the rest went into the assistant's mouth.
She was forced to eat less and gave all the food to her assistant. She didn't gain weight, but her assistant's pants became tighter.
But Ni Jia was really hungry. She thought, what's the difference between this and dieting? In the end, it can only lead to the victim's inner desire for carbohydrates growing wildly and distortedly.
"That's right," Liu Wangxue agreed, hugged Ni Jia and found a place to sit down, comforting her, "We are actors, we don't need to be too demanding about our bodies. Filming is also a strenuous job, we have to eat well."
As she spoke, she took out the snack box in her hand and stuffed it into Ni Jia's hand: "Eat a few bites to fill your stomach. It's still a long time before lunch."
When Ni Jia opened it, she saw two pork floss buns. She loved them and couldn’t wait to pick one up and put it to her mouth.
The assistant almost got angry, but Ni Jia turned around and gave her a slap on the back of her head: "You're not even looking at it, I won't give it to you!"
The assistant curled her lips: "Childish!"
"Humph!" Ni Jia handed the box to Liu Wangxue, which contained another box. "Sister Xuxu, you eat too."
Liu Wangxue felt that at this moment Ni Jia looked so much like Xiao Ci, so adorable, that she almost started to rub her.
She smiled and gave half to her assistant. It smelled nice, but the fragrance disappeared when eaten. It was a bit greasy after taking one more bite.
Hmm, not really.
Ni Jia was too hungry. His desire for high-calorie food was greater than his pursuit of taste. He swallowed it all without tasting anything.
The assistant commented: "I think this would taste better if my brother-in-law made it."
Alas, the young assistant sighed, her taste has become so picky that she no longer likes ordinary biscuits, cakes and the like.
"Then when your brother-in-law comes in the afternoon, you can give him some suggestions and add new products." Liu Wangxue said.
The assistant nodded vigorously: "Brother-in-law seems to bring new flavors every one or two days. I wonder if there will be any today. I am looking forward to it."
Yes, Liu Wangxue said in his heart, but not all.
After eating the pork floss buns, Ni Jia felt much better and went to find a makeup artist to put on her makeup.
During this period, the heroine will undergo a process of change both internally and externally.
The inner change is that my desire for knowledge is stronger than ever before. From knowing nothing about Hanfu and fashion design to liking it more and more as I learn more, I have become more determined to achieve my goal.
In addition, I began to learn to love myself, which led to external changes - the most intuitive feeling was that I became more beautiful.
In the past, my family always told me, "You don't need to dress up at your age. It's a waste to spend money on this and that all the time. You might as well save the money and give it to your brother."
"Girls who love to dress up are not from good families. Look at that girl from the next village. She was already dressed up and wearing makeup when she entered junior high school. She ran away with someone before she even finished the third year of junior high school."
"That's not called loving beauty, that's called conceitedness, and it can easily bring trouble. Didn't that XXX in your grade attract some street thugs just because he dressed up nicely? Didn't your teacher tell you what happened?"
The heroine has heard these derogatory, victim-blaming words many times and has been successfully brainwashed.
During the time she worked in her cousin's flower shop, she gradually discovered that this was not the case.
My cousin is a person who loves beauty very much. She will not allow herself to spend a day in a sloppy manner even at home. Even when she goes downstairs to throw away the garbage, she will dress neatly and look beautiful.
My cousin often says: "Girls are like flowers. No matter what age they are, they need to be carefully cared for."
Influenced by her cousin, the heroine's ideas began to change slowly. She learned how to dress herself up, how to put on makeup, and how to dress. She also began to train her aesthetic taste and find a style that suits her.
After falling in love with Hanfu and saving money to study fashion design, the heroine realized more that "loving beauty is everyone's right."
Therefore, this period can be said to be the time when the heroine's self-awareness awakens and she attempts to explore herself.
The makeup artist applied a light, everyday makeup to Ni Jia. She had a good foundation to begin with. Before she joined the crew, Li Zhaonan prepared a lot of skin care products for her. She was supervised by a little assistant every day to take care of her skin, and her skin condition was top-notch.
The makeup artist simply applied a base, then added a few strokes to highlight her facial features, and it was done.
Ni Jia is in her early twenties and has just graduated from college. Her youthful and beautiful appearance is eye-catching once she dresses up a little.
Every time he saw her putting on makeup, Liu Wangxue would sigh: "This fresh and youthful 19-year-old——"
At the beginning of the story, the heroine is set to be nineteen years old.
After Ni Jia finished her makeup and hair and changed her clothes, Jing Yujun arrived and the day's shooting began again.
In the afternoon, Qiu Xiangrong came to deliver desserts. In addition to the usual ones, he also brought two fruit cream cakes.
Originally, he just wanted to make a small one and bring it to Jing Yujun for a taste. But when he was weighing the ingredients, Qiu Xiangrong thought about it again and decided to make two larger ones. Although they were not much, at least everyone who wanted to eat could have a bite.
When Qiu Xiangrong arrived, the crew was just taking a break. When Ni Jia's assistant heard that someone was coming, she ran over and asked while taking her and Ni Jia's portions: "Brother-in-law, are there any new products today?"
The people following behind heard the word "new product" and gathered around: "New product? What new product?"
As word spread, everyone rushed over to line up.
"There are new products today——"
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
"Leave me a copy—"
