"I know what you mean. I used to feel the same way. How terrifying... But now, compared to that, I think it's more terrifying to just stay lukewarm."
Qiao Yan only understood half of what they were talking about, but when she opened her eyes and looked at the expressions of the others, she seemed to understand what they were talking about. They also seemed to be quite accustomed to this kind of topic, and their expressions did not change much.
"Okay." said the makeup artist.
Qiao Yan stood up. Her role was the daughter of the county magistrate of a county town that the protagonist and his group were passing through. She sounded rich and noble, but because her father was an honest and upright official, her family didn't actually have much money.
Therefore, Qiao Yan's entire outfit is relatively plain and simple, and her makeup is naturally light, which softens the feeling of her facial features and makes her look like the mist in the mountains in the early morning.
[Nightmare modeling is still as powerful as ever.]
[I feel happy just thinking about having such an amazingly beautiful face in the game.]
[I haven't felt anything scary about this dungeon so far. I'm actually quite happy. It feels like watching a movie or TV series. Hehe~]
Am I the only one who cares what they mean by "raising"? What do they mean by "raising"?
[Not sure, pets? Can having a pet help one advance their career?]
[Although I don't know what it is, I know that the red one must be Zeng Shenli.]
[Oh, I see. This is the clothes she wore yesterday, right?]
For celebrities of their status, people in the same dressing room have to take the same bus to the shooting location, so Qiao Yan needs to wait for others. Fortunately, the air conditioner in the room is on and Qiao Yan's makeup is relatively thin, so there is no need to worry about makeup coming off.
We arrived here early in the morning and it was exactly 7:30 when we were finally able to get on the car. This was all thanks to the amazing speed of the makeup artists.
"Hey, Ning Yan, right?"
The agent and his crew were riding in another sightseeing bus, so in the bus carrying the actors, Qiao Yan sat at the very back, with two other actresses, who were the same two who had just been chatting in the dressing room. Both of them were somewhat curious about her, and one of them spoke first.
"Yes." Qiao Yan nodded.
"Um, can I ask...is Sister Zheng Hui okay?"
The Zheng Hui they were referring to was the actress originally scheduled for the sixth female role, who worked in the same company as Qiao Yan. When asked this question, Qiao Yan could clearly sense a number of subtle glances from behind, clearly curious.
"I heard that the person hasn't woken up yet." Qiao Yan shook her head.
"Still not awake?!" The other party covered his mouth in surprise. "Is it serious?"
Was it serious? Qiao Yan heard from her agent that the accident happened at an intersection. The car was completely dented, the seatbelt broke, and she almost died...
"It was quite serious. His life was hanging by a thread at that time." Then she said.
For a moment, there were many gasps, obviously all of them were frightened.
"The news reports didn't say it was that serious..." The other person shook his head fearfully. "Did they say what the accident was? Did he run a red light?"
"No." Qiao Yan shook her head and added, "I only know that it wasn't a red light, but they didn't reveal the specific reason."
"Is that so..." Qiao Yan saw that she seemed to be thinking about something, so she asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No, no." She waved her hand and said awkwardly, "I just heard some rumors, you know."
Qiao Yan didn't understand, so she didn't say anything. She just guessed that it might be some conspiracy theory or something. Her agent said that there were a lot of rumors on the Internet, and some even said that she killed artists from the same company in order to get this role.
Of course, not many people believe those weird rumors.
They soon arrived at the filming location and everything was set up. Qiao Yan saw Director Wen and Editor Cen holding the script and talking about something, while the male lead's team members were putting on makeup for him in front of the camera.
The first scene of the day was naturally for the main actors, a sort of unspoken rule. Qiao Yan remembered that she had to film the scene where Xiaoyao, the male lead of "Xia," first met Li Miao, the female lead.
At the martial arts conference, Li Miao, disguised as a man, and Xiao Yao had a duel. The two were evenly matched, but Li Miao was distracted by a small incident outside, which gave Xiao Yao an opportunity to stab her in the shoulder. She lost the duel, and she was very unwilling to accept this...
Zeng Shenli had already changed into a set of tight-fitting clothes at this time. The black clothes matched with her hair tied up. Her facial features had a slightly more masculine look because of the makeup, and she really looked a bit androgynous.
Qiao Yan was surprised to see that there was no one around her like the male lead, but she was standing alone studying the script.
"Get ready!" Director Wen shouted, and the originally quiet set suddenly "came alive" and everyone started moving.
Zeng Shenli turned around and put the script on the chair. She took out the black necklace from under her collar with her back to the crowd. It was a simple black rope with a teardrop-shaped black object attached. The surface did not look shiny, but matte.
She grabbed the thing in her hand, closed her eyes, and seemed to whisper something quickly, then quickly stuffed the thing back in. She did all these actions very secretly, and with her back blocked, everyone thought she was just packing things.
If it weren’t for Qiao Yan’s “love of observing life”, she probably wouldn’t have discovered it.
"What do you think this gesture means?" She turned to her agent and made a gesture of wrapping her right hand around her chest with her left hand.
"Pray? Make a wish?" The agent was confused. "Don't do anything nonsense. Just study hard."
"Oh." After being told that, Qiao Yan silently put her hand down and continued reading the script. Her scene today didn't have many lines, just a simple entrance. To be honest, Qiao Yan didn't know what else she needed to learn.
Over there, the show has already begun.
Most of the key characters make an appearance in this scene to some extent, but the highlight is still the fighting scenes between the male and female protagonists.
The male lead, Hu Mingxi, is clearly well-trained. His movements, even while hanging on the wire, are still clean and neat, and his eye contact is also very good. Meanwhile, Zeng Canli is surprisingly not inferior to him at all!
"Oh my God! That's amazing!" Qiao Yan heard someone screaming softly.
There were flashes of swords and sabers, and the two men were carried by the wire in the air and fought for a while, then they turned over and spun sideways and landed on the ground again, and started fighting again.
When Director Wen called out "Cut" and indicated that this scene was passed, people immediately rushed over to untie the wires, pass water, and touch up makeup.
Through the shadows, Qiao Yan noticed that the two people in the center didn't look particularly good. After all, this was a physically demanding job. Zeng Shenli was helped back to her chair. Her team members surrounded her, obscuring the situation from those outside.
