Chapter 546 No, I’m not wearing makeup
When Chen Li heard this, she shook her head with embarrassment: "Don't you mean pure makeup?"
Sister Kuan laughed, then patted the seat next to her and motioned her to sit down.
He Qi and her agent Xiao Luo naturally recognized Chen Li, even though she was without makeup, because everyone in the circle knew that Sister Kuan only had two artists under her, one was Ji Chuhe, and the other was Chen Li.
I originally thought that Sister Kuan would take the initiative to introduce Chen Li, but Sister Kuan did not speak.
The atmosphere faltered for a moment, and Xiao Luo had to take the initiative to greet them. "Sister Kuan's artists are so talented, and they're so beautiful even without makeup. I saw Chen Li's performance in 'Hua Xixi,' and it was a great performance. It's rare for a new actor to win two Golden Magpie Awards."
When mentioning the Golden Magpie Awards, He Qi, who was also nominated for the "Best New Actor" award, looked at Chen Li with obvious hostility.
"You are shortlisted too, right?" Sister Kuan suddenly looked at He Qi and asked.
He Qi didn't expect Sister Kuan to suddenly speak to her. She was startled for a moment, but then she quickly composed herself, "Ah, yes, Sister Kuan. I didn't expect to be shortlisted for the Best New Actor category for my first film. I still can't believe it."
She is very clear about the survival rule of the entertainment industry, which is to be humble in front of seniors, and can always demonstrate it.
Sister Kuan just smiled and said nothing. Seeing this, Xiao Luo quickly said, "But if we talk about this award, Chen Li definitely has a better chance of winning. After all, she is nominated for two awards, so she must be better than the other actors who were nominated at the same time."
When He Qi heard this, she pouted secretly.
Because what the agent said was right. Looking at this competition rationally, Chen Li is the only actor among the Best New Actor who has been nominated for other awards, and her chances of winning are almost certain.
But she just couldn't accept it.
She is the heroine in her hit drama.
Chen Li just took advantage of the big IP "The Phoenix's Destiny" and played the third female role in it. She was lucky enough to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress together with Gao Fei.
Maybe Sister Kuan is behind this.
He Qi was secretly complaining when she heard her agent suddenly lean over and whisper, "Are you wearing makeup?"
He Qi raised her head, a guilty look flashing across her eyes: "No, I'm not wearing any makeup!"
Xiao Luo frowned and looked at her face doubtfully: "Is this true?"
As she said this, she touched her face and found that there was really no powder on it.
I suddenly felt more confident. If He Qi looked like this without makeup, she would be no worse than Chen Li, and her complexion looked much better than Chen Li's.
Seeing that her agent had no doubts about her, He Qi curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
She knew that these stupid straight men would definitely not be able to see the nude makeup she was wearing, and the same went for Director Li An.
Don't underestimate girls' makeup skills.
The most important thing is that she can't accept showing herself without makeup, because no one will recognize her.
Sister Kuan was stunned for two seconds when she saw Chen Li without makeup.
If it were her, her agent would probably just ask her, "Who are you?"
"The director is here!"
At this time, Xiao Luo saw Director Li An in his bathrobe walking towards them with a cup of coffee from afar, and he quickly stood up first.
Seeing this, the other people also stood up.
Director Li An is in his fifties. Almost none of the films he has made are bad, and he has won many prestigious awards at various domestic and international film festivals.
The actors who work with him are all top actors with both status and strength. If a newcomer is lucky enough to get the opportunity, he will definitely leave his name in the film industry in the future.
This was the first time Chen Li met Director Li An in real life, and he was also the most influential filmmaker she had ever met since she entered the industry.
Li An is thin, with black and white hair in a very casual and loose style.
When he saw a few people from afar, he showed a friendly smile, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and there were several layers of crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. It was obvious that he was a very cheerful person.
"Don't be polite, sit down." Li An came closer and raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down and chat. He randomly chose a seat and sat down naturally.
Seeing this, everyone sat down as well.
Seeing that Li An only had a cup of coffee in his hand, Xiao Luo subconsciously asked, "Director, don't you want to eat something? Just drinking coffee?"
Li An smiled and said, "I don't like talking about work while eating. Let me finish watching the actors first."
He leaned casually on the sofa, and after he finished speaking, he set his eyes on Chen Li, who was relatively close to him. He only glanced at her lightly and said, "Chen Li, right? You have very good conditions. I imagined what you would look like without makeup from your stills, and you are even better in person than I imagined."
He raised his hand and pointed at the jawline below his cheek. "Especially the lines here on the face. They are very smooth and the curves are very soft. It will look very good on the big screen."
Chen Li was still completely confused. She had never expected that Director Li An would just glance at her and then start praising her.
"Thank you, director." She nodded subconsciously, expressing her gratitude for the director's affirmation.
The director then changed the subject and asked, "Have you read the script?"
"I've seen it, several times." Chen Li said quickly.
"This script is quite special. It tells the story of a group of marginalized people in society. There are a lot of running scenes and scenes that require exertion of strength. How's your stamina?"
Chen Li was speechless when she heard this, because she didn't know what Director Li An's standard was for good physical strength.
But then she thought again, "I went to the mountains to shoot a movie about human trafficking, and there were a lot of scenes where I had to escape. I can run, I can even climb a mountain in one breath!"
This made the director laugh, but it was a satisfied smile: "As long as they can endure hardships, that's fine. The reason I don't like to use new actors is that kids nowadays can't endure hardships. They have to use a double to hang on a wire, which is really boring."
"Ah Kuan." Director Li An suddenly looked at Sister Kuan and said with a smile, "You have a good eye. The newcomers you chose are really good."
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Ali is still with the crew and rushed over yesterday evening."
Facing Director Li An, Sister Kuan's tone subconsciously became respectful: "If you have anything else you want to know, please feel free to ask. It's a rare opportunity to meet you, so it would be helpful if you could give me some advice."
"Oh, don't say that. What I hate most now is preaching to the younger generation. I find that once people start preaching, they give others the impression that they are old. That's not right."
Director Li An smiled and waved his hand, but in his heart he had a good impression of Chen Li, who was completely without makeup in front of him.
Not based on anything else, just based on her overall image without makeup, the experienced director Li An can tell at a glance that she will be beautiful on the big screen.
Then in a blink of an eye, Director Li An looked at He Qi.
He Qi felt Director Li An's gaze and immediately showed an expectant expression, and instantly straightened his posture and sitting position.
Then Director Li An blurted out, "Are you wearing makeup?"
