Chapter 740 Widely Acclaimed Beauty
Amid the girls' panicked screams, a boy's voice rang out.
Shen Li wasn't afraid of the dark, so she remained very calm. However, Wang Ziyu next to her was clearly timid. The moment the lights went out, she instinctively grabbed Shen Li's arm.
"Ah Li, are you alright?" Tan Yue's anxious voice followed immediately.
Shen Li quickly said, "It's nothing, it's probably just a short circuit. It'll be fine in a bit."
She then patted Wang Ziyu beside her and said, "Don't be afraid, your eyes will adjust and you'll be able to see again."
Sure enough, after about twenty or thirty seconds in the dark, once my eyes adjusted, I could vaguely see my surroundings even without the lights on, because there was a faint light coming in from outside.
Two or three minutes later, the restaurant lights came back on.
Some of the girls were terrified; their faces turned pale.
Wang Ziyu slowly released Shen Li's arm and lowered her head shyly, saying, "Sister Shen Li, I was a little scared just now."
"It's alright."
Only Xu Ke'er blushed and gave Liu Tong a shy, reproachful look. Liu Tong had a smug, mischievous smile on his lips, clearly having done something in the dark.
The staff came out to explain and apologize, explaining that the power had tripped.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm, and no one was injured.
The next day, Shen Li woke up on time to her alarm clock and washed up. Xiao Yun also went to the restaurant to bring Shen Li breakfast.
"Today's filming locations are a residential area and a middle school. Come downstairs in a bit, a bus will pick us up. Your brother is already waiting downstairs."
Shen Li ate a slice of bread and an egg, then drank a glass of milk before quickly putting on her down jacket and going downstairs.
"sister!"
As soon as he came downstairs, Guangrong came to greet him. Seeing that he was in good spirits, Shenli said, "You look quite energetic. Did you sleep well last night?"
"I slept so well. Everyone says jet lag is a hassle, but I didn't feel it at all. The hotel bed and pillows were so comfortable. I set an alarm but it didn't go off, and I woke up naturally five minutes early."
Listening to the glorious words, and then looking at the listless actors in the surrounding crew, the contrast was striking.
Many people are there because of jet lag, and many others are too excited because it's their first time going abroad. In short, very few people get enough rest.
Once the car arrived, according to the script's scene order and the makeup and hair sequence, Shen Li needed to be among the first to go to the film set.
Shen Li pulled Guang Rong into the car, and Tan Yue followed behind them.
As soon as they sat down, they saw that Wang Ziyu had also arrived.
"Sister Shen Li." She greeted Shen Li as usual, but also noticed a very tall boy sitting next to Shen Li.
Just as he was about to go sit in the back, Shen Li patted Guang Rong on the shoulder and said, "Go sit with Tan Yue in the back."
Then he called out to Wang Ziyu, "Ziyu, sit next to me."
Wang Ziyu immediately showed a happy expression, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Shen Li: "Thank you."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Glory couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: She's really beautiful.
"You have an early morning scene today?" Shen Li asked Wang Ziyu.
Wang Ziyu nodded, no longer so introverted in front of Shen Li, and took the initiative to explain: "It was originally a halftime scene, but last month when I received the final version of the script, they added a little bit of my scene."
“It seems we don’t have any scenes together,” Shen Li said, flipping through the script again to confirm.
"It seems like we didn't have any scenes in the previous few episodes, but I had a scene with Ms. Ke'er today."
Wang Ziyu is not a complete newcomer. She had acted in a drama before, with few scenes, but her character became very popular because she was so beautiful. It was also because of the popular video that director Li An noticed her.
"Sister Shen Li, that guy next to you was so tall!" Wang Ziyu couldn't help but exclaim.
Upon hearing this, Shen Li subconsciously turned around to look at Guang Rong, and then smiled and said, "He's my younger brother. He's 1.9 meters tall."
"Let me correct you, 1.92 meters." Glory, having overheard the two talking, suddenly leaned over to interrupt.
His voice startled Wang Ziyu, whose bright eyes widened in surprise, like a fawn's.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Glory noticed her reaction and quickly apologized, "I didn't mean to."
Wang Ziyu waved her hand, her pretty face slightly flushed, "N-nothing."
Seeing this, Shen Li looked at Guang Rong and reminded him, "You can't do this when we get to the set. Keep quiet after the cameras start rolling, otherwise the sound will be picked up by the recording equipment. And don't run around."
"Okay, sis, I promise I won't cause you any trouble."
"Sister Shen Li, is he your biological brother?" Wang Ziyu asked subconsciously, but realized she had said the wrong thing immediately and hurriedly apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry, I..."
"Why are you apologizing?" Shen Li looked at her in surprise.
Wang Ziyu lowered her eyes somewhat awkwardly and said in a low voice, "It's about that news from a while ago, I..."
"I'd completely forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it." Shen Li smiled nonchalantly. "You don't need to be so careful. It's nothing serious. Guangrong isn't my biological brother; he's from my aunt's family."
Wang Ziyu, with an obedient expression as if she had done something wrong, nodded knowingly upon hearing this.
The car quickly arrived at the first film set, where the crew had built some other sets in addition to the original ones.
As soon as we got off the bus, staff members led us to different dressing rooms according to the list.
Because it's a modern drama, the makeup and styling are not complicated.
Shen Li originally thought she would share the dressing room and lounge with everyone, but when she went in, she found that she had her own lounge.
Makeup artists are also exclusively employed.
Xiaoyun immediately checked: "Ali, you do indeed have a separate rest room and dressing room."
Am I the only one like this?
"I don't know, I don't know how the production team arranged it."
Shen Li didn't think much of it and sat down to review the script while the makeup artist did her makeup.
Meanwhile, another dressing room was overcrowded. There were more than a dozen actors and several makeup artists in one room. They didn't even need to do their makeup in front of a mirror. The actresses would just sit there and the makeup artists would just casually apply their makeup with their tools while facing them.
Wang Ziyu was in line inside. When it was her turn, the makeup artist stared at her face for a long time before finally saying, "You don't need any makeup. Your natural features are so good that any makeup would be unnecessary. I'll just do your hair."
This remark drew sidelong glances from the other actresses nearby.
Everyone had different expressions; some were envious, while others were jealous.
But there's no doubt that Wang Ziyu is beautiful.
This simple statement from the makeup artist quickly spread throughout the film crew and reached the ears of Shen Li and Xu Ke'er.
Just then, Xu Ke'er's makeup artist was applying concealer to her face with a powder compact. The thick layer of concealer barely covered all the blemishes on her face. Hearing this, she almost fainted from anger.
