Meng Yao has become very popular recently, so her definition is not just about traffic, but about gaining recognition from the audience
Finally, under Meng Yao's instruction, the makeup artist painted her skin darker and replaced her teeth with dentures.
Now only one pair of eyes remains, as bright and shining as ever.
Meng Yao finally nodded: "That's it. By the way, this hairstyle is a little too fashionable now. I still need to change it."
The makeup artist agreed.
Meng Yao's appearance has changed greatly now. With heavy foundation and makeup skills, her appearance has finally been barely suppressed to "mediocre".
The makeup artist was worried: "Ms. Meng Yao, how do you feel now?"
Meng Yao nodded and said, "Very good."
The makeup artist finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Meng Yao, turn your head." It was Guan Liang's voice.
Meng Yao tapped her toes and the swivel chair immediately changed direction. She asked, "How does it feel?"
Guan Liang was shocked at first, but then he looked relieved: "I know you always love beauty, but I really didn't expect you to be able to dress up ugly for this drama."
"That's nothing." Meng Yao took a sip of juice and said, "I told you, Brother Liang, I want to be a good actor in the future."
Guan Liang smiled and nodded, then slowly said: "I don't know if you still remember what I told you-"
"Meng Yao, traffic is limited, but what lasts forever is the work, and it must be good work."

When Meng Yao came over, Huang Yan was startled. She stared at Meng Yao's face and said softly, "Yaoyao?"
Meng Yao took a step forward and said with a smile, "I just did a pose, Director Huang won't not recognize me, right?"
"How could it be... I just didn't expect..."
"Director Huang, the character you need is 'Jiang Jian' instead of 'Meng Yao', right?"
Meng Yao turned around and stroked the black-framed glasses on her nose.
"how do you feel?"
Huang Yan's eyes were dazed: "This is the 'Jiang Jian' in my mind."
Then she remembered something else.
"I remember you seemed to like dressing up and appearing on camera, so..." She looked somewhat embarrassed.
"This is nothing. We still have to look at the shooting effects." Meng Yao said slowly.
Huang Yan nodded repeatedly. The more she looked at Meng Yao, the more satisfied she became. Finally, she smiled: "I know you won't let me down. I always believe in my own judgment."
The assistant director standing next to Huang Yan had a complicated expression.
Meng Yao's reputation was not very good, but her performance this time was really beyond their expectations.

At 3:10 in the afternoon, Meng Yao finished filming her first scene.
Xiao Song handed her a thin coat and said, "Sister Meng, you've worked hard."
Guan Liang walked over and looked at Meng Yao quietly for a few seconds. Meng Yao had already undergone a drastic change in both acting and personality.
Guan Liang handed over the glass in his hand, with a few red wolfberries floating on top.
Meng Yao didn't answer: "This... I don't drink this!"
She refused with extraordinary firmness.
Guan Liang did not agree, and handed the glass back to her without further ado: "You should drink something healthy, wolfberry, it keeps you healthy!"
"I don't like the taste of wolfberry, so I don't drink it."
It's not a time when supplies are scarce, so she doesn't want to put herself in a difficult position.
Meng Yao paused and thought of this question.
The reason why she liked to eat so much before was not because she had no awareness of health preservation, but because she felt that her end was destined to be tragic, so she might as well enjoy herself while she was young.
But something unexpected happened before, and with the outcome uncertain, maybe I can live a long life without worries about food and clothing
If she had to spend the rest of her life bedridden, that would obviously not be what Meng Yao wanted.
Maybe—she really needs to pay attention to this issue.
Guan Liang didn’t know why Meng Yao finally figured it out, but when he saw her take the cup obediently, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's right, you always have to think about your health."
Guan Liang took out another cup, which also contained wolfberries, but the amount was twice that of Meng Yao.
Meng Yao paused, it seemed that Guan Liang paid close attention to his health.
She followed Guan Liang's example and blew away the hot steam from the cup before taking a sip.
"Hiss... It's so hot."
Guan Liang glanced at her in his spare time and said, "That's because you drank too much cold drinks."
Huang Yan came over after finishing her work, and praised Meng Yao generously: "Yaoyao, your performance is better than I expected. You can control yourself and have a good balance between tension and relaxation."
"Thanks."
Her eyes regained their brightness and were so beautiful that one could not look directly at them.
Huang Yan was in a trance for a moment.
Meng Yao is obviously such an extremely flamboyant person, but when she performs, she is able to portray the timidity and cowardice of "Jiang Jian" to the fullest.
With just one look, she can switch between the play and reality with ease...
Huang Yan smiled and said, "You really can bring me surprises, Yaoyao."
“In this collaboration, I found a treasure.”
After Huang Yan left, Guan Liang put down the cup in his hand and asked, "Cooperation? What cooperation? Why do I feel like Huang Yan is hinting at something?"
Meng Yao rubbed her fingers lightly on the cup twice: "She was talking about the current filming, you are overthinking it."
Meng Yao didn't give Guan Liang time to think carefully: "I'm a little tired, let's go over there and rest for a while."
"By the way..." Meng Yao looked at Xiao Song beside her: "Are my potato chips ready?"
Xiao Song glanced at the ferocious Guan Liang, and after carefully comparing in his mind which one of Meng Yao and Guan Liang was more difficult to deal with, he slowly spoke:
"Yeah... I'm ready."
Guan Liang knew that it was useless to blame Xiao Song, the errand boy, so he just looked at Meng Yao and said, "Didn't you start eating healthily?"
Meng Yao had a piece of candy in her mouth without knowing when. "We have to do it step by step. We can't become fat in one bite. I will make some changes to the drinks first. As for the potato chips - I really can't shoot without snacks!"
*
On the sixth day of filming, Meng Yao met an unexpected person—Xu Shuiqing.
Xu Shuiqing slowly stepped into Meng Yao's RV. She took off her sunglasses, revealing her charming eyes.
Meng Yao put down the bag of potato chips in her hand: "I didn't expect you would come to see me specially."
"We are friends—at least that's what I think, don't you?"
Meng Yao smiled nonchalantly: "Becoming friends with the queen of film - sounds like a pretty good experience."
Xu Shuiqing sat down opposite her: "I had a schedule conflict the past two days so I postponed it for two days. Otherwise, I could have come earlier."
Meng Yao nodded: "I'm glad you're here."
