The director briefly introduced the plot to Su Nan. Su Nan looked at the director and nodded frequently, seeming to be really interested in the movie.
After he helped Su Nan introduce the basic plot and the general plot, he asked nervously: "Miss Su, what do you think? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"
Su Nan shook his head: "Not yet."
Not yet! That means she is still interested in participating.
"If we are free in the afternoon, can we go for the audition?" The director looked at Su Nan kindly and asked.
When she looked at the director's eyes, she immediately thought of the fairy tale "Grandma Wolf".
"Okay, where is the address of the audition?" Although Su Nan felt that the director was a little strange, he still agreed to his request.
"Our crew has a car that can pick you up at the gate of Huaqing University."
Su Nan was stunned when she heard this. This wouldn't do. It would be too ostentatious. She didn't know how those people in the school would frame her.
Although today is Saturday, there are still quite a few people in school.
"Goodbye, you should come to meet me at the 'rich' store on the street next to our school. It would be too conspicuous to go to school."
The director thought about it and it made sense. Su Nan was still a student, and if he did that, it would cause her a lot of trouble.
"Okay, I'm really sorry for not considering your feelings, Miss Su. Let's just say it's settled." The director said a little embarrassedly.
After the two finished their discussion, they each walked away.
When Su Nan returned to the dormitory, she saw Chen Jie, who looked worried: "Where have you been?"
"I went out to talk to the director about something. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't tell you." Su Nan explained calmly.
Chen Jie sighed. It was a good thing that this was the case. She almost thought that Su Nan had gone out to cause trouble for Yang Shuzhen.
The two of them walked into the store hand in hand. Along the way, Su Nan and Chen Jie complained about the director's confusing behavior.
"Ah? No way, are all directors nowadays so humble?" Chen Jie has always believed that directors who can make movies must be very talented and strict.
"Who knows, maybe after signing the contract he will become what you imagined."
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the director drove over to meet Su Nan in person. The car parked in front of Su Nan's store immediately attracted everyone's attention. Feng Meng, Su Nan's assistant, was also shocked by the scene.
"Hello sir, what do you need?" Feng Meng asked respectfully.
"I'm here to look for Su Nan." After explaining his purpose, the director looked at the store curiously.
"Wait a moment!" Feng Meng hurried upstairs and woke up Su Nan and Chen Jie who were still taking a nap: "Nan Nan, wake up now. There's a bald uncle in his forties downstairs looking for you."
Su Nan sat up from the bed in a daze, and then said angrily: "Ah? Tell him I don't know him."
Then she fell drowsily on the bed again. Chen Jie yawned and sat up. An idea suddenly occurred to her and she asked anxiously, "Didn't you make an appointment with a director?"
Su Nan sat up suddenly, thought for a moment, then quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs to meet the director.
"Director, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
"It's okay, Miss Su, I just wanted to ask you for a favor." The director scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
The director asked me for help again? How come he could ask me for help with so many things?
"You said..." Su Nan said hesitantly.
"The reason why the crew is short of funds is that we don't have enough makeup artists and costume stylists. I saw that your shop has everything. I wonder if you can..."
Without waiting for the director to finish, Su Nan agreed directly: "Okay, that's no problem."
This man is a director after all. Others may not be able to please him even if they try to flatter him. Since he doesn't think highly of her small shop, there is no reason for her to refuse.
Maybe she can also use the influence of this director to promote her own shop and let more people know about it.
Half an hour later, the director took Su Nan, her store's products and employees to the crew.
Su Nan was stunned for a moment when she looked at the penniless crew. She had thought about what it would be like to have insufficient funds and had prepared herself mentally, but she didn't expect it to be so... insufficient!
The director was afraid that Su Nan would go on strike, so he hurriedly explained: "Ms. Su, please bear with it for a few days. When the crew officially starts filming, several payments will be made to the crew."
Su Nan smiled awkwardly. If it wasn't for the fact that the play was good, she would have wanted to run away right now. But she couldn't help but thought to herself: This guy, is he trying to get something for nothing?
"It's okay, let's start preparing for the audition!" Now that we're here, it wouldn't be a good idea to leave at this time.
Feng Meng pulled Su Nan aside and said, "Nan Nan, this won't do. What if he is a liar?"
Su Nan firmly believed that one should trust people when employing them, and not employ people who are not trustworthy. Moreover, the director had never told her about the contract and remuneration from the beginning, so she thought that he was not that kind of person.
"Since you are here, make yourself at home." Su Nan patted Feng Meng's shoulder and then said, "Don't you always say that you want to improve your makeup skills? Today I just want to see how you are doing now and where you can improve."
Seeing this, Feng Meng didn't say anything more. She took a deep breath and began to use her current knowledge of makeup to help the extras in the crew with makeup. It was no big deal. Just treat their faces as color palettes and apply the color evenly.
It's one thing to think about, but it's difficult for Feng Meng to actually do it. She used to be very good at putting on makeup for herself, but now everyone's skin condition is different, so the foundation they use should also be different. After mastering certain techniques, her techniques have become more and more skilled.
After confirming once again that Feng Meng did have talent in this area, Su Nan directly helped the makeup artist to finish the makeup of other actors.
The director and the makeup artist gave Su Nan a thumbs up when they saw her superb makeup skills: "Ms. Su, you are really talented and courageous. No wonder you dare to work hard in Beijing at such a young age. It turns out that you have such a unique skill."
Su Nan secretly complained: It's useless to flatter me. If you don't pay me in full, I still won't give you face and won't let you film.
"Director, you are so polite. Now the makeup is done and the actors are in place. When will we start shooting?"
You have requisitioned all my staff and products. Now Chen Jie is the only one left in my store. Hurry up and finish your work so that I can go back to my business.
The director hurriedly arranged for the actors to audition, and in just half an hour, the audition was very successful, and the filming process could be edited into a film.
After everything was settled, the director asked people to pack up the props for filming. Su Nan pulled Feng Meng aside and asked caringly, "Do you really like the makeup industry?"
"Of course, I really like putting on makeup. I want to help every sister who may not have a perfect appearance to regain confidence through makeup, just like you." Feng Meng said sincerely.
