The next scene to be filmed is the one starring Xing Feifei.
The female protagonist has been living on the streets and often finds herself in danger, but she manages to escape danger every time thanks to her wisdom and luck.
Fate plays tricks on her. Every time she goes through hardships, strengthens her inner beliefs, and follows the news and clues she hears, just when she is about to find the male lead, she will just perfectly miss him.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Everyone is in place except for Xing Feifei.
"Where is Xing Feifei? Where is her assistant? Hurry up and go urge her! Don't you know the whole crew is waiting for her? Let me tell you, since you've chosen to be an actress, you have to do your job properly and don't try to get special treatment!"
"To me, everyone is an employee, a partner. I won't allow anyone to receive special treatment!"
The director got angry.
What he hates most is actors acting like divas, wasting everyone's time because of one person.
Just as the director was about to vent his anger, Sister Hua rushed to him in a panic, crying, "Director, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! Fei Fei... Fei Fei is in trouble!"
Perhaps because she ran too fast, Sister Hua was panting heavily as she spoke, which made everyone around her anxious.
Especially the director.
"Catch your breath and explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened to Xing Feifei? Things have only calmed down for a couple of days, how come she's sick?"
The director looked at Sister Hua and immediately questioned her.
"Director Li, Feifei is in good health, but there's something wrong with her face. Oh dear, it's hard to explain in just a few words. Director Li, why don't you come with me and take a look for yourself?"
Sister Hua looked at Director Li and offered her suggestions.
"Alright, alright, I'll go with you then. Such a beautiful face, I want to see what she can pull off! But, Sister Hua, not to be nosy, but as Xing Feifei's manager, you should vet her. I don't need to emphasize how important a face is to a female artist, do I?"
After filming together for a while, everyone has basically figured out Director Li's temper: he loves to ramble, especially when he's angry.
Moreover, no one is allowed to disturb him while he's rambling on, or they'll get burned and become cannon fodder.
Amidst the director's constant rambling, everyone followed him to Xing Feifei's dressing room.
At this moment, the door to the dressing room was open, and Xing Feifei was sitting inside, crying and covering her face with her hands.
"Feifei, Director Li is here. Tell him what you want to say. I believe he will definitely stand up for us! Feifei, listen to me, show your face to Director Li."
Sister Hua walked over to Xing Feifei and began to offer gentle words of comfort.
"Okay..." Under Sister Hua's persuasion, Xing Feifei finally took her hand away so that Director Li could see clearly.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because what he saw startled Director Li. "What...what happened! Xing Feifei, how did your face suddenly turn like this?"
Her once beautiful face is now covered with red spots, some of which are slightly swollen, making her look particularly frightening.
She has an allergic reaction.
That's right.
It's an allergic reaction.
"Director Li, as a veteran actor, I know all too well how important a face is to a female artist. I've always been very careful, but who knew that today, after my makeup artist used this powder on me, my face suddenly became itchy and numb. Before I could even react, my face had already turned into this!"
"Director Li, someone must be jealous of me and wants to ruin my face. There must be something wrong with this powder!"
Xing Feifei knew that Director Li was one of the most righteous directors among all the directors. In order to achieve her own goals, Xing Feifei added a sentence at the end.
Sure enough, Director Li became even angrier after hearing this.
"Smack!"
With a loud bang, Director Li slammed his hand on the dressing table, shaking everything on it.
"This is absolutely outrageous! I never imagined that something so egregious would happen on my film set. Makeup artist, you'd better explain this clearly in front of everyone today. If you can't explain it clearly, you can forget about this job!"
The director looked up at the makeup artist and immediately started to criticize him.
This question startled the makeup artist quite a bit. "Director Li, you...you mustn't misunderstand. This has nothing to do with me. I didn't bring this powder compact; Sister Hua gave it to me."
Huh, this is going around in circles and has ended up back with Sister Hua.
Just as everyone was casting questioning and puzzled glances at Sister Hua, Sister Hua pointed directly at Cheng Meng, "It's you! You gave me this powder compact! Sister Meng, I know that Fei Fei had some unpleasantness with Miss Mo a few days ago, but after Fei Fei calmed down, she realized her mistake, reflected deeply on it, and even took the initiative to make amends."
"But aren't you all being far too petty, making fun of someone else's face like that!"
These words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence. The voice was loud and clear, and the words had a strong penetrating power, which convinced many people in a short time.
After all, Xing Feifei had been treating everyone to afternoon tea these past few days and had been quite friendly, so she did seem like she had turned over a new leaf.
Instantly, murmurs and speculations arose from the crowd.
"I never expected that Sister Meng, who usually seems so carefree, would actually hold a grudge. Luckily, I didn't offend her, otherwise, my worthless face might not be ruined, but the rest of my body would be in a different situation."
"That's right, people say birds of a feather flock together. Look at Mo Jingjing, she's always so arrogant. She ignores everyone who talks to her. She's clearly just the second female lead, but she acts like she's more important than Xing Feifei, the female lead!"
"Who says otherwise? Xing Feifei's face looks quite serious. The movie is already halfway through filming. What if something happens to her face? Will the crew have to reshoot the scenes?"
Hearing the whispers around her, Cheng Meng couldn't sit still any longer. She took two steps forward and walked up to Sister Hua. "Sister Hua, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You came to me to borrow this powder compact, and it was brand new, still in its packaging."
"Besides, our Jingjing uses the same powder foundation on her face, and it's always been fine. How come the exact same product looks different on you?"
"Sister Hua, this time we're filming a period drama about political intrigue, not a real-life palace intrigue."
snort!
Actually, Cheng Meng initially thought that harmony would bring wealth, but now, harmony is no longer possible.
Whether or not we make money is no longer important; let's clean ourselves up first.
"Yes, I can prove that what Sister Meng said is true. If you don't believe me, you can take a compact of powder to test it."
Subsequently, Mo Jingjing also joined the fight.
