In the afternoon, Qiu Lan returned to Hengdian to start work.
"Xiao Lan, you're finally here. You're an hour later than usual today," Assistant Xiao Li urged as Qiu Lan entered.
"It's okay, it's not my turn to film today, so there's no rush."
"The makeup artist just came to urge you to get your makeup done. It needs to be an hour early. I forgot to tell you. Then go serve Actor Ai." They really look down on people. Just wait until Sister Lan gets up, she'll teach them a lesson.
"I can share a makeup artist with Actor Ai?" Qiu Lan's bright eyes were full of surprise.
"I heard that Actor Ai's makeup artist is sick, so we're temporarily using the film crew's makeup artist."
"Oh, it's nothing, who cares!" That man is such a busybody.
The makeup artist came in and started applying makeup to Qiu Lan. Luckily, the makeup artist was easy to talk to, and the two of them sat down in the dressing room.
"Sister Zhang, isn't this makeup too heavy?" Qiu Lan looked at herself in the mirror. This heavy and glamorous makeup was even heavier than her previous makeup.
“The makeup I had chosen before wasn’t as good as this one, so I’ll use this one. Besides, your character needs to be a bit glamorous.” Her role this time is a beautiful assassin. Although her screen time is limited, it’s all quite challenging and important.
"Alright then." She was afraid of being too glamorous and overshadowing the other female characters.
"Qiu Lan, your face is really easy to do makeup on, it really suits heavy makeup."
"You flatter me." What's so special about her face? The face she saw at noon today was truly stunning.
Halfway through her makeup, Actor Ai arrived, followed by his assistant. His deep voice echoed in the dressing room, "Not done yet?"
The three of them were a little embarrassed by the question. Sister Zhang replied, "It'll be soon, Actor Ai, just wait a little longer."
"Okay, you do her makeup first." After saying that, he sat down in one of the only two seats in the dressing room.
The three looked at him in surprise. What was this actor doing? Why did he sit down?
Ai Yingdi felt three eyeliners staring at him simultaneously. "Ahem, finish your makeup here and do it right now. No need to wait."
"Okay, Mr. Ai." Sister Zhang was extremely pleased with Mr. Ai's understanding nature.
The room was silent for a long time, except for Qiu Lan, who seemed to be very happy and was thinking about something.
Suddenly, I asked Sister Zhang, "Sister Zhang, what do you think of my blue hair now? What color should I dye it back to? Should I dye it back to black, or some other dark color?"
"Why did you suddenly decide to dye your hair? Haven't you been dyeing your hair blue for a long time?" People who know her know that she has had her hair dyed blue for a long time.
"Nothing much, I'm just worried she won't like it!" She was afraid Qiu Hu wouldn't like her blue hair because she could see that Qiu Hu's hair was black, the kind that looked like it hadn't been dyed.
This time, it was assistant Xiaoli who was more surprised. "What? Who is she? Xiaolan, you're not in a relationship, are you?"
Everyone present was looking at her, even the movie star Ai sitting next to her looked over.
"What? Nobody's here?"
But Xiaoli couldn't stop thinking about it. She analyzed it logically, "No, no, you're acting really strange today. You came in looking so happy. You never smile usually, but you're all smiles today. If you're not in love, what are you?"
Sister Zhang agreed, "Yes, I saw it too."
She also earnestly advised, "Xiao Lan, your career should be your priority!"
However, all Qiu Lan heard was "You're all smiles today." Was she really that happy after just one meeting with Qiu Hu? She touched her face. "Really?"
She was indeed very dependent on Qiu Hu when she was a child, and she was happy to see her come to visit her, but more than ten years have passed, why is she still so happy to see Qiu Hu? She was a little doubtful, "No way."
“But you really look so happy. You’re even going to dye your favorite blue hair back for him? Being love-struck is no good,” Xiaoli continued to advise her.
"But she doesn't seem to like dyeing her hair, so let's dye it back!"
Xiaoli and Sister Zhang: ...
Qiu Hu, who works at the Qiu family business, said: No, I never said that. It's all your own idea, and it has nothing to do with me.
At this moment, Ai Yingdi sneered from the side, "Heh."
The three people who had quieted down overheard this, especially Qiu Lan, who frowned and said unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's not worth it for a man."
"Who said it's for a man?" Qiu Lan really couldn't understand what these people were thinking. Was it really for a man? "Besides, is Actor Ai really that gossipy?"
Xiaoli, who was standing next to her, breathed a sigh of relief. "If it's not for a man, then who is it for?"
You'll find out later.
Not hearing an answer, Ai Yingdi spoke up, "Miss Qiu should focus on studying the script instead, lest you drag me down later."
Qiu Lan plays a beautiful assassin who is the male lead, actor Ai's, unrequited love. However, their positions are different. For the sake of the male lead's grand ambitions, his mother hires someone to kill the assassin, causing the male lead to turn against his mother. When he achieves his goals, he is still alone. Yes, this drama has no female lead.
"Actor Ai, don't worry, I'm still capable, and I definitely won't hold you back." Qiu Lan thought this person was tactless; she had known him for two years and had never heard him say anything nice.
Ai Yingdi was also from the Performance Department of Qin University. Qiu Lan first met him at the freshman ceremony when she saw him speaking on stage as an alumni representative who had just graduated. That's when she learned that he was from Qin University. She was the emcee that night and was responsible for guiding him onto the stage. That's how they met.
At that time, she had only been in the industry for a few months and was playing insignificant supporting roles.
This is their third collaboration. The first time, she played one of his subordinates who was fired after only a few appearances; the second time, she played one of his maids; and the third time is this time, where she plays his cinnabar mole. I heard there are several intimate scenes between them.
Only then did Ai Yingdi stubbornly say, "That's good."
Qiu Lan's inner monologue: Tch, what's so noble about him!
Qiu Hu was unaware that Qiu Lan wanted to dye her hair back on set for her sake. She was so busy at the company that she only stopped working when she received the flowers ordered by Ning Yizhan.
Just after I signed for the flowers, my husband called, "Baby, did you receive the flowers? Do you like them?"
Qiu Hu held up a large bouquet of Ecuadorian roses. "I received it. It's a huge bouquet, but I still like it."
"I miss you so much. I'll be back soon, in three days at most."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
"I want a kiss." Ning Yizhan didn't forget to ask for a kiss even on the phone.
"No, that's too cheesy."
"Just one, just one, baby~"
"Mua~ That's enough." Qiu Hu couldn't stand the sound he made.
"mua, mua, mua~"
"..."
