After listening to his patient explanation, Zhou Yunwan's pretty face turned bright red, which quickly spread to her ears. It seemed that there was no need for her to be jealous since he and Old Xu's granddaughter had only met a few times.
Would he think she was making a big deal out of nothing?
But if he didn't explain, how would she know?
"Oh, I see." Zhou Yunwan cleared her throat, pretended to be calm as she broke free from his embrace and fled from his territory: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Chen Yanli stood there, watching her leaving, with twinkling lights in his eyes.
Time flies, the wedding leave officially ends, Chen Yanli returns to work at the research institute, Huaqing University enters summer vacation, and compared to usual days, work is relatively leisurely.
Chen Yanli offered to help her prepare various materials for college so that she could be successfully admitted to the Jingshi Drama Academy that she had always dreamed of.
The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination has not yet been announced. The recommendation system is still in place, and talents are selected through a series of screening procedures including voluntary registration, unit recommendation, approval by superiors, and school assessment.
In this situation, the children of cadres or family members with connections are often more likely to get recommendations. As a descendant of a martyr, Zhou Yunwan, with the Shen family's connections, was easily selected.
...
...
But she knew that news of the resumption of the college entrance examination would come out in early August. After the policy was issued, the recommendation system would be abolished, and the unified college entrance examination system that had been interrupted for many years would be officially restored.
So even if you start preparing now, you won’t be able to use it later, and you’ll just be wasting your time and energy.
However, she couldn't tell the real reason. She just said there was no rush and to wait until the end of this month.
With a phone call from Cheng Jinche, her leisure time came to an end.
After Chen Yanli went to work that day, Zhou Yunwan simply packed up, picked out a lotus pink dress from the closet to put on, and went out with the script.
It took about an hour to take the bus from home to the photo studio that Cheng Jinche had agreed to meet. When she arrived, Zhou Yunwan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead and neck. Only then did she have the leisure to take a look around this famous photo studio.
The three-story retro villa has a strong Republican style. Above the door hangs a pearwood sign with five large characters "Time Photo Studio" written on it.
This photo studio is said to be a century-old shop that has taken photos for many well-known leaders from all walks of life. As soon as you walk in, you can see neatly arranged photo walls on the walls on both sides of the corridor. Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but be dumbfounded by the familiar faces on the walls.
Zhou Yunwan walked inside while admiring the scenery, and only when she reached the reception area did she slowly look away.
"Comrade Zhou, you're here?"
Following the sound, Zhou Yunwan saw Cheng Jinche surrounded by a group of young men and women, waving at her, motioning her to come over and sit down.
Cheng Jinche had called her not long ago and told her that today was the day they had agreed to take stills, and it was also the day the film's leading actors would meet officially for the first time.
The moment Cheng Jinche opened his mouth, everyone else looked in the direction of Zhou Yunwan.
Most of these people were actors who had worked with Cheng Jinche before. They were not particularly familiar with each other, but they basically knew each other. Zhou Yunwan was a stranger to them, and they had never even heard of her name.
However, this airborne heroine is really beautiful, with skin as white as cream and beauty like a fairy.
Everyone who didn't take her seriously at first was stunned when they saw her face, and expressions of surprise appeared on their faces, but they soon realized that how could it be so embarrassing for her to be personally chosen by Director Cheng Jinche as the heroine?
She is so beautiful, so her acting skills must be terrible, right?
It's probably just a vase.
Everyone had different thoughts. Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Yunwan sat down next to Cheng Jinche.
"Comrade Zhou, let me introduce you."
Zhou Yunwan can only be considered a newcomer in the film market at present, and everyone present is her senior. Therefore, she maintained a humble attitude throughout the whole process, and her graceful demeanor won the favor of many people.
After a round of introductions, Zhou Yunwan tried hard to digest everyone's names, especially the leading actor Liu Libin, who had many scenes with her. This man's appearance was not very outstanding, but he was the type that was pleasing to the eye, upright and tough, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving a feeling of peace and prosperity.
It wasn't long before everyone was there.
One actress was a few minutes late because it was her first time there, she lived far away and didn't plan her time well.
Cheng Jinche was relatively easy to talk to and didn't blame her much, but she was very embarrassed. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red and she almost cried. Then she apologized to everyone present one by one.
Of course, everyone couldn't say anything when seeing this, for fear of actually making the person cry.
The female comrade in charge of reception asked Zhou Yunwan and the actress who came later to sign a form, and then took everyone upstairs.
The second floor is the shooting area. Various instruments are placed on the left. The photographer is already waiting there, and seems to be debugging the equipment. On the right, there are rows of clothes for shooting. It should be the changing area and the makeup area. There are also staff waiting there.
Cheng Jinche had already asked the staff to transport all the costumes to the photo studio in advance. Each set of costumes corresponded to the name of an actor. The two leading actors would definitely be the first to be styled, while the others would need to wait on the side.
Because the content of the movie reflects the current situation, the costumes and styling are not complicated. The heroine and the hero are both set to be rural people, the costumes are very simple, and even makeup is not needed. The main purpose of appearing without makeup is to create a sense of reality.
Zhou Yunwan was sitting on a chair, letting the staff braid her hair into two pigtails, when a cute and playful girl came over and greeted her.
"Hello, I'm Gao Menglan, and I play your good friend in the movie."
Zhou Yunwan recognized her as the girl who was late just now, nodded with a smile, and introduced her name.
Gao Menglan looked up and down at the beautiful girl in front of her and smiled meaningfully: "Then let's get along well in the future."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Yunwan to react, she ran towards Cheng Jinche who was talking to the photographer.
She seemed to have a very good relationship with Cheng Jinche. After they had said a few words, she hit Cheng Jinche with a coquettish look on her face, as if she was acting coquettishly or jokingly.
Zhou Yunwan took a few glances and then looked away. Her styling happened to be done at that moment, and when she was about to stand up and give up her seat, she heard the complaints of the other two actresses.
"Here we go again. I've had enough. Can she stop being so pretentious?"
"Say less. If she hears you, she'll start crying again. Be careful not to get scolded again."
