The makeup needed for appearing on camera isn't very complicated, just a little heavier than usual, to make it more noticeable on camera.
Since transmigrating into this book, Ye Zhizhou has hardly ever worn makeup, usually sporting a bare face. Whether in her past life or this one, her face is always stunning, after all, she's destined to be a supporting female character.
As for makeup, it's not that she doesn't know how, but that she's too lazy to do it.
But in other people's eyes, her bare face makes her look like she doesn't know how to put on makeup.
However, since this makeup artist was so confident, Ye Zhizhou didn't want to disappoint her.
"Give me your makeup bag."
Ye Zhizhou reached out his hand, and the makeup artist was taken aback for a moment before handing the makeup bag to Ye Zhizhou with an amused expression.
"I don't believe you can do a good job with this makeup; it's theatrical makeup."
The makeup artist was a young man, around thirty years old, who had been in the industry for a long time and was highly skilled in makeup, becoming the exclusive makeup artist for major IPs.
This time was no exception; this youth idol drama is the debut work of a well-known author, so they invited him to participate.
Several of the major IPs he worked on as a makeup artist became hits, which boosted his fame and earned him over a million followers on Weibo.
Ye Zhizhou ignored him, opened her makeup bag, took out her makeup tools, and methodically applied them to her face one by one.
"It's said that her father is the richest man in the world, no wonder she's so arrogant."
"Keep your voice down, I'm curious about her makeup skills."
The two actresses started whispering to each other; there are always people who enjoy gossiping, and this place is no exception.
Hu Rui kept staring at Ye Zhizhou as he applied the makeup. At first, he looked smug, thinking Ye Zhizhou was just bragging. But as Ye Zhizhou's technique became more skillful, his expression changed.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Zhizhou's makeup was complete. The makeup was applied smoothly and without any powder settling on her face. The intensity of the powder was just right, the blush on her cheeks was applied perfectly, her eyelashes were slightly curled, and the light pink eyeshadow immediately brought out her youthful charm.
"Here you go. Nothing's missing. Check it out."
Ye Zhizhou finished her makeup. She brought her own clothes because it was a modern drama and Director Lin didn't require her to wear the crew's clothes, so she simply put together her own outfit.
The two actresses stared wide-eyed, both understanding the surprise in each other's eyes.
"You're so amazing! Can I add you on WeChat?"
Hu Rui's face turned ashen. He seemed to hear his face being slapped twice, the sound crisp and clear, echoing repeatedly in his ears.
"OK."
Ye Zhizhou added the two women on WeChat, asked for their names, and saved their names in his contacts.
"You're quite good at makeup, but you're just as arrogant as your brother."
Hu Rui crossed his arms and scrutinized Ye Zhizhou.
Ye Zhizhou looked at him, "You did my brother's makeup?"
Hu Rui snorted coldly, "I've done makeup on almost all the top domestic celebrities, what do you think? But the one I hate the most is your brother."
Ye Zhizhou didn't know what grudge Hu Rui had against her brother, but she knew that she had to protect her brother no matter what.
"My brother doesn't care if you hate him or not. He just wants to act well. Mr. Hu, please move aside. It's almost my filming time."
Hu Rui got angry and started to stutter, "How dare you speak to your senior like that?"
Seeing that he wouldn't move aside, Ye Zhizhou simply walked around him and left.
In the dressing room, the two actresses couldn't help but chuckle to themselves. They also had things they didn't like about Hu Rui, but no one dared to mess with him, because the quality of the makeup directly affected the on-screen appearance.
If they displease the makeup artist, minor characters like them could be portrayed negatively at any time, and the reviews they receive after a show airs might be worse than before.
Hu Rui heard their laughter, but said nothing. He left with a furious expression, wanting to see just how good Ye Qian's sister's acting was.
"Xiao Zhou, your makeup looks great today. It seems like the makeup artist has changed their style."
Director Lin spotted Ye Zhizhou walking towards him. Ye Zhizhou smiled and said, "I did my own makeup. Teacher Hu said he was busy after he finished, so I didn't bother him."
Director Lin had seen plenty of such bullying incidents on set; most people either swallowed their anger or spoke out.
Ye Zhizhou was the only one who could handle things on his own, and he did it exceptionally well.
"I'll talk to Hu Rui later. Get ready, it'll be your turn soon."
Director Lin patted Ye Zhizhou on the shoulder, then turned to look at the camera and instructed the male and female leads on their scenes.
The female lead in this drama is a somewhat weak character, while Ye Zhizhou plays her best friend, who is more assertive.
The actress playing the female lead is Cheng Yao, a recently popular idol. She came from a girl group and has a great figure and looks. The only thing she doesn't have is her acting skills.
However, idol dramas don't require such high acting skills from actors, and Cheng Yao's immense popularity helped her land this role.
"Hello Ye Zhizhou, my name is Cheng Yao, it's nice to meet you."
Cheng Yao's looks are considered top-notch even among celebrities. After filming this scene, she immediately came over to greet Ye Zhizhou.
"I heard you're a newcomer, so I'll do my best to help you. If you don't understand anything later, you can ask me."
Ye Zhizhou nodded, not rejecting Cheng Yao's kindness. At least for now, it seemed that Cheng Yao was well-intentioned towards her.
This scene depicts the female lead's best friend inviting her to stay at her home. The best friend even helps the female lead move her things, which is a very ordinary scene.
The two worked together very well, and Ye Zhizhou's portrayal of the best friend was natural; they nailed it in one take.
"Ye Zhizhou, is this really your first time acting? Why do I feel like your acting is better than mine? Let's add each other as friends, maybe we'll have a chance to work together in the future."
Cheng Yao hurriedly took out her phone to ask for Ye Zhizhou's contact information.
Ye Zhizhou explained with a smile, "Actually, this is the second time. The last time was when I played a minor role in my uncle's play."
Of course, she had more than just these two acting experiences, but she couldn't tell Cheng Yao that.
"But your acting was really good. If I didn't know your background, I would have thought you had been acting for several years. My agent often says that my acting is bad. Can I ask you for advice?"
Cheng Yao looked completely sincere.
Ye Zhizhou was somewhat surprised; Cheng Yao was one of the few people in the entertainment industry who spoke so directly.
"No problem, my filming is finished, and I'll be going back to Ning City tomorrow. Contact me on WeChat if you need anything."
Cheng Yao nodded repeatedly, wanting to say something more, but Director Lin called her over.
Qin Xuan walked up to Ye Zhizhou carrying her small bag. "Xiao Zhou, I really want to hide you away."
Ye Zhizhou stared at him, completely bewildered: ? ? ?
What kind of operation is hiding it?
