Luo Yunhang was very surprised when he learned that she had accepted the role in "Princess Pearl".
He knew all too well that once the show aired, it became a nationwide sensation, an unsurpassable classic, and no one dared to remake it for decades afterward.
It's quite good that Yunyin managed to secure a significant supporting role.
Over the past year, she seems to have found her passion and has devoted herself to learning acting.
Luo Yunhang had seen several of the minor roles she had portrayed and thought her performances were very natural and seamless, showing great talent. He felt that with her abilities, she could easily play leading roles.
However, the investors had already decided on the two female leads, and even the director and screenwriter couldn't change that.
Yunyin is a maidservant of one of the female leads, named Jin Suo, and she is also a good character.
Having a rare free time, Luo Yunhang personally drove Yunyin to the film set.
Being an actor isn't easy. It's only a little past five in the morning, and we have to come here to get ready for makeup.
As soon as she entered the film set, several people greeted her.
"Xiaoyun, you're here."
"Yunyin, is this your boyfriend?" someone asked, noticing their intimate behavior.
Yunyin nodded shyly.
Some people also recognized Luo Yunhang.
"Isn't this the one? The one that was in the newspaper..."
…
After exchanging pleasantries all the way, we finally made it into the film set.
Yunyin was well-liked by everyone in the crew because she was beautiful and kind.
It's currently the actors' makeup time.
To be honest, the production team at that time was quite poor, unlike the hundreds of millions invested in later productions.
There were only two or three makeup artists: one was responsible for tidying up all the extras, and the other two were responsible for tidying up the main actors.
Unlike later generations, where everyone has a professional makeup artist and can focus on touching up their makeup at any time.
Yunyin came over first, so the makeup artist naturally came over to do her makeup and hair.
Luo Yunhang saw that it was still dark and there was still plenty of time, so he guessed that most people hadn't had breakfast yet.
He went outside first and found a breakfast shop that opened early. He ordered dozens of cups of soy milk, ten large steamers of buns, and several steamers of flower rolls. The buns were still a while away from being steamed, so Luo Yunhang told him to prepare them and deliver them to the film crew.
"This much food should be enough to eat," Luo Yunhang thought as he walked, not noticing someone running past him and nearly bumping into him.
The woman muttered something unhappily and quickly ran into the film set.
Luo Yunhang didn't mind and slowly walked back.
Just as he reached the door, he heard a loud argument. Worried about Yunyin, Luo Yunhang quickly took a few steps forward.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you know I'm the lead actor? I'm about to go on stage. If you delay things, I'll have the director fire you!!" came the woman's imperious voice.
Luo Yunhang walked to the door and realized that the person was the woman he had almost bumped into earlier.
She yelled at Yunyin's makeup artist.
There were only two makeup artists. One was doing makeup for the other female lead, and the other was tidying up Yunyin.
The makeup artist who did Yunyin's makeup just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, since Yunyin wasn't the lead actress.
The makeup artist quickly explained apologetically, "Sister Ru, I noticed you hadn't arrived yet, and Yunyin arrived first, so I did her makeup first. Please wait five minutes, the headdress will be ready soon, and I'll do your makeup right away. It definitely won't delay anything."
Unexpectedly, her explanation only added fuel to the fire.
"What do you mean? You're blaming me for being late? I was only ten minutes late, and the director didn't say anything. Who gave you the right to speak?"
"That's not what I meant." The makeup artist was almost in tears.
"Then what do you mean? You think my word doesn't count? I said, start doing my makeup!" The woman stormed up and slapped the makeup artist, stunning everyone in the dressing room, who then gathered to watch the spectacle.
Liang Xiaoru has an exceptionally bad temper. Relying on her familiarity with the investors, she has already offended most people on set in just one week since filming began.
Yunyin originally didn't want to get involved; it's better to avoid trouble.
But Liang Xiaoru really went too far.
She immediately stood up and shielded the makeup artist behind her: "Sister Xiaoru, I'll let you go first, don't blame her."
Luo Yunhang never expected that acting would involve so many complicated things. He wondered if Yunyin had been bullied before.
Liang Xiaoru glared fiercely at Yunyin: "What do you mean by 'give up'? This position was originally mine! You're just playing a maid, what's the rush?"
Yunyin had never met such an unreasonable person before. She was spoiled and pampered growing up, and she also had a temper.
"The director said that whoever arrives first gets their makeup done first. What's wrong with the maids? There's still a first-come, first-served rule. You're late and you still have the nerve to hit people. You're ridiculous!"
Liang Xiaoru has finally found an excuse.
She had disliked Yunyin for a long time.
I've heard from people in the production crew that the director and producer initially favored Yunyin for the female lead, thinking that she had a bright and cheerful appearance, skillful acting, and was also a student at Tianzhou University, making her smart and intelligent, which would add color to the drama.
If the investors hadn't specifically chosen her to play one of the leading roles, she probably wouldn't have even gotten a maid's job.
After a week of rehearsing, she admitted to herself that Yunyin was prettier and had better acting skills than her. Moreover, Yunyin's delivery of lines was excellent; she never forgot her lines and could often get them right in one take, unlike her, who always had to do retakes and was openly or secretly disliked by the director.
That's why she disliked Yunyin even more.
"So what if I hit someone! I'll hit you too!" Liang Xiaoru said, opening her hand to slap him.
No sooner said than done.
Liang Xiaoru's hand was held tightly by Luo Yunhang.
It was all an internal conflict between women, and he originally didn't want to get involved, but Liang Xiaoru was going too far, and he certainly couldn't let Yunyin suffer such injustice.
Working with this kind of person is absolutely disgusting. If it's really unbearable, I'd rather not have this job.
The argument was escalating, so the crew on set quickly went to find the director to mediate.
When Yunyin saw Luo Yunhang coming over, she calmed down a bit and hid behind him with a clear conscience.
"Who are you? Let go of your filthy hands!" Liang Xiaoru tried her best but couldn't break free from Luo Yunhang's grip.
Seeing this, the other actors waiting to get their makeup done in the dressing room also spoke up: "Xiaoru, be forgiving when you can. It's not easy for anyone."
"We're all just trying to make a living, why make such a fuss?"
"That's right, aren't we all waiting here?"
Another female protagonist also said, "You're late and you don't even let people talk about it? It's shameful."
"You're all bullying me! I'm going to tell President Liu and have him replace you all!" Liang Xiaoru shouted angrily.
Director Jackson Chen had just walked in when he heard Liang Xiaoru's words, which made his head ache with anger.
