96 Meet Again
◎Unexpected results (more)◎
The day before yesterday, she and Yu Wan left and didn't know what happened next. Unexpectedly, Chan Wai Sze was beaten on the face and looked quite embarrassed. But even so, her momentum remained unchanged, on the contrary, she seemed a little complacent?
Song Shixi recalled her provocative look just now, wondering where her confidence came from, so he had to suppress his doubts in his heart for the time being.
Yu Wan, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong with Song Shixi and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
Song Shixi was afraid of affecting Yu Wan's competition, and since this was unfounded, he shook his head and said, "Nothing."
The competition was about to begin, and the two of them tacitly stopped talking. There were several new faces on the judges for this round, and Song Shixi didn't recognize any of them. But seeing the shining expression in Yu Wan's eyes, he knew that they were probably bigwigs in the industry, and he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
The theme of this round is the charm of tea.
When these two fell, there was silence for a long time before someone started to take action.
Song Shixi looked at Yu Wan. She was very calm from beginning to end. There was no sign of nervousness on her face. Every step she took was steady, which made people calm down.
In the middle of the competition, there was a sudden commotion in the judges' seats in front, and then two women in beautiful and fashionable clothes entered from the side entrance and took their seats one after the other.
There are actually judges who are late?
Song Shixi raised his eyelids curiously and looked over. When he saw one of them, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He sighed that the world was really small. He couldn't believe that he could meet Zhong Meiyin again. But considering that the other party was an actress and Miss Hong Kong, he was not surprised.
The two haven't had any dealings since their last disagreement on the cruise ship.
No, she had seen the gossip about Zhong Meiyan and Liang Minchi in a gossip magazine in Hong Kong, and she still couldn't forget the explosive headline.
And the one next to her...
If she remembered correctly, it should be the now popular actress Zeng Shuyi, who was also the instigator of the conflict with Yu Wan and threatened to ban her.
Song Shixi's eyes suddenly widened. No wonder Chen Huishi looked at them with that look just now. Did she think that as long as Zeng Shuyi was there, Yu Wan would not be able to turn things around no matter how capable she was?
Just as she thought of this, she heard a crisp sound in her ears. She turned her head and saw Yu Wan squatting down to pick up the makeup brush on the ground. From her angle, she could just see her trembling hands.
Obviously she also discovered Zeng Shuyi's existence.
Song Shixi really wanted to tell her not to think too much and that completing the competition safely was the most important thing, but he was stopped by the rule that makeup artists and models could not communicate with each other during the competition, so he could only wink at her desperately.
Fortunately, Yu Wan managed to regain her composure soon, changed a makeup brush and continued to put on makeup.
This little episode only attracted the attention of a small number of people nearby, but they just took a quick look and continued to busy themselves with their own work.
The competition time was neither long nor short. When the countdown bell rang, Yu Wan stopped what she was doing, stood aside, and raised her hand to indicate that she had finished. Compared with the previous round, the time was not even a little bit shorter.
Song Shixi sighed. It seemed that Zeng Shuyi's appearance still affected Yu Wan's performance, but fortunately, there was still no fault to be found in the makeup in the mirror.
Her long hair was all tied up behind her head and fixed with a wooden hairpin provided by the organizer. Her foundation was light and flawless, and her light black eyebrow pencil drew slender willow-leaf eyebrows, curved like a moon.
The turquoise eyeshadow is applied along the eyeliner to create a long line, which is then smudged slightly upwards. The wood brown eyeshadow is mixed in to fill in the roots of the eyelashes to create a misty atmosphere. The light pink color is used to brighten the inner corners of the eyes, outlining the subtle bags under the eyes, which is lively and natural.
Her eyelashes are naturally thick and curled, so she didn't do too much processing. She only applied a light layer of mascara to preserve the original beauty. Her eye makeup was light, but her blush and lip makeup were particularly bright. The color she used was orange-toned, like the crimson color after brewing tea. The lips were brightened with a little water, just like the dew on the tea leaves in the morning, sparkling and eye-catching.
The big stone in Song Shixi's heart slowly fell back to its original place, and he secretly gave Yu Wan a thumbs up. The latter saw it, was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help but curled her lips, and her eyes became a lot lighter.
This round of scoring started soon, but this time the makeup artist led the models forward one by one and had to answer questions raised by the judges.
Several introverted makeup artists stuttered a bit, but fortunately they all managed to answer.
Although the state when answering is not one of the judging criteria, being frank and open will always give people a better impression, and it is not impossible for the corresponding score to be raised by one or two points. After all, there is a so-called "paper score" in the college entrance examination, not to mention this kind of face-to-face scoring competition?
Because there were two acquaintances among the judges on the stage, Song Shixi paid special attention to them since the scoring began. Zeng Shuyi's scoring was more casual, and it was obvious that she was just there for the occasion. Her expression was indifferent, and it seemed that she didn't have much interest.
Zhong Meiyin, who was sitting next to her, seemed to be paying attention to her expression. On several occasions, she made temporary changes because the scores between the two were too different.
Song Shixi frowned as he watched, wondering what was wrong with the organizers to invite these two unprofessional people. Was it to make things difficult for the contestants?
However, this operation is very common, just like the singer-related competition programs in later generations invite actors to be judges, and the actor-related competition programs invite singers to be judges. It doesn't matter whether it is across industries or across professions. The most important thing is that it can help expand the popularity.
Not only did she feel that this was inappropriate, many makeup artists also began to complain in low voices, and the noisy chatter reached her ears, but no one dared to make a big fuss in such an occasion, for fear of offending others and losing their qualification for the competition.
Song Shixi didn't say anything. Her head wasn't made of iron, and she didn't want to be the first to speak out unless it harmed her own interests.
Soon, it was Chan Wai Sze's turn. As soon as she came on stage, she took pictures of all the judges' horses, and then tried to get close to Zeng Shuyi.
"I wonder if Teacher Zeng still remembers me. We met on the set of A Thousand Years of Love earlier this year."
When Zeng Shuyi heard this, she looked at Chan Wai Sze who was very excited. Her expression did not change, but she rolled her eyes secretly in her heart. She scolded her a hundred times and a thousand times. How shameless did she have to think that she could remember her?
She dealt with more than a dozen co-actors on the set every day, not to mention the countless staff members.
Asking this kind of question in this situation is either stupid or bad. Are you trying to embarrass her on purpose?
Zeng Shuyi forced a smile, pretending to be approachable, and replied, "Ah, it's you, how could I not remember you."
Chen Huishi's eyes lit up. She actually thought Zeng Shuyi remembered her, and began to reminisce about the past. If she hadn't been interrupted by another judge, she would probably have talked until dark.
The judges asked a few questions as usual and then started to score. Chan Wai-shi was confident, but the final result was beyond her expectations. Looking at the big 72 points, she was struck by lightning and kept shaking her head, saying it was impossible. Even if others gave her low scores, Teacher Zeng said it was impossible.
She subconsciously looked at Zeng Shuyi, only to see that the person who had been talking to her with a smile not long ago now had a cold and contemptuous expression, not taking her seriously at all, and even had a hint of disgust and irritation in his eyes.
At that moment, the blood in her body turned cold and she even lost the courage to question. She didn't even dare to raise her head and left with the model. When she stood in the waiting area, she found that many people were looking at her as if she was laughing at a joke.
"She was trying to build a relationship, but Teacher Zeng ignored her."
"Don't you even look at your own character? You're just like a clown. Ugh."
"What's the point of doing this kind of crooked tricks all day? Aren't you going to be eliminated anyway?"
Chen Huishi recognized that two of the people talking were the ones with whom she had clashed last time. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip tightly, clenched her hands in anger, and looked at Yu Wan and Song Shixi who were queuing in the distance.
If it weren't for these two people, how could she have offended these villains and been targeted? It's all their fault!
When she thought about Yu Wan and the others being eliminated in a disgraceful manner, Chen Huishi felt a surge of joy in her heart.
After waiting for a long time, they finally came on stage, but the imagined difficulties did not come. Yu Wan still got a high score this time!
Chen Huishi's eyes were bloodshot, and even her breathing became difficult. Her eyes were full of shock. How could it be possible? Could it be that Zeng Shuyi was so forgetful that she had long forgotten the unpleasantness between her and Yu Wan?
Not only did she think so, Yu Wan and Song Shixi also thought so. They looked at each other, and although they were full of doubts, they still walked along the aisle towards the waiting area.
When passing by Zeng Shuyi and Zhong Meiyin, Song Shixi raised her head and looked at them. The former smiled at her, while the latter avoided her sight in fear, as if she were some kind of monster.
Song Shixi looked away, bewildered, and asked softly, "What's going on?"
Yu Wan, who was walking beside her, shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
As soon as the two arrived at the waiting area, they were stopped by Chen Huishi who had been waiting for a long time. She had a faint smile on her face, and was asking in her words why Zeng Shuyi let them go so easily, and whether she had given them any benefits secretly.
Hearing this, Song Shixi almost laughed out of anger. Sometimes she really wanted to ask how such people could be so thick-skinned?
The two sides were not completely at odds with each other, but they were also incompatible. However, Chan Wai-shi could still speak to them in such a flattering tone, as if all the previous nastiness had never happened.
Song Shixi crossed her arms and said nothing, pretending not to see or hear anything. Yu Wan, who was standing beside her, glanced up and down at Chen Huishi, and also did not say anything or respond.
"Teacher Yu..." It was the first time that Chen Huishi was turned away by Yu Wan, and she could hardly maintain the smile on her face.
Yu Wan didn't even look at her this time. Chen Huishi suddenly remembered that day when she asked her for help, but was rejected just like now.
When did she become so hard-hearted?
Chen Huishi's fingertips pinched her palms, leaving blood marks. At the end, her voice was tinged with tears: "Teacher Yu, are you really going to be so cruel to me?"
"Oh, I'm cruel?"
Yu Wan couldn't help but sneer, as if she'd heard something funny. "People need to look good, trees need to look bark. After all this time, not only have your makeup skills not improved much, have you even forgotten how to behave?"
"When you joined the company, you were a newbie who knew nothing. I treated you like my own apprentice, teaching you step by step. You know how I treated you, but what about you? How did you treat me?"
"When I was backstabbed by the company and couldn't stay there any longer, not only did you not offer me a single word of comfort, you immediately turned to my rivals and joined them in plotting to kill me."
"You're such an ungrateful bastard. I feel sick even talking to you."
Yu Wan's voice was not loud, but every word she spoke was extremely clear. While not disturbing the progress of the game, it was also possible for people nearby to hear her.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to look over. In addition, everyone had witnessed what Chen Huishi had done before, and all of a sudden, all kinds of contemptuous and disdainful eyes were cast at her.
"I know their company. I had a successful interview, but luckily I didn't go. Otherwise, I can't believe how disgusting it would be to work with such people."
"Is this Teacher Yu? I can be her apprentice, so why do I have to be such a fence-sitter? I really don't know how to appreciate the blessing I have."
"You're jealous. No one is as good as you, so you want to trample them into the mud. Otherwise, how can you get to the top?"
The noisy discussions made Chan Wai-shi's face turn pale and then red, then red and then pale, like a color palette. In the end, she couldn't hold on to the end and left the model behind and ran away.
The model was really unlucky. The makeup artist ran away, and she naturally couldn't stay there, so she followed him out.
Song Shixi witnessed the whole process from the side and finally got rid of his anger. Yu Wan must have had the same idea, otherwise she wouldn't have been so refreshed. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yu Wan realized it belatedly and smiled as well. The wound buried deep in her heart was gradually healing.
At the end of the second round, those who remained were basically all the best makeup artists in the industry. Yu Wan's total score was temporarily tied with another makeup artist for first place. The two were evenly matched, and the outcome would depend on the final round.
The time is set for the day after tomorrow, and people from the TV station will come to record the broadcast. Although it is just a local TV station, everyone is excited to be able to appear on the screen.
As usual, Song Shixi and Yu Wan went to the studio to take pictures. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhao Heng.
"Miss Song." Zhao Heng's eyes lit up when he saw Song Shixi, but he also knew how to avoid suspicion and just said hello simply.
Song Shixi also smiled politely and said, "Director Zhao."
But even so, it's enough to make other models envious. After all, this is Hualan Culture! It's the company that almost all models want to work with!
After the two of them finished filming, Song Shixi went to change clothes. When he came out, there was an unfamiliar middle-aged woman next to Yu Wan.
"Shi Xi, this is Ms. Zeng's agent, Ms. Wang."
Hearing this, Song Shixi's expression remained unchanged, and a slight curve appeared on his lips, "Hello."
"Hello."
As soon as Song Shixi came out of the changing room, her eyes were glued to her as if they were on automatic aiming out of professionalism.
Perhaps because she had just removed her makeup, there were still some water droplets on her face. Her skin was as smooth as a baby's and as white as snow. Every feature of her face was beautiful, and her beauty was very unique and had an oriental charm that made people remember her at first sight.
Both skin and bones are excellent, which is very rare.
