According to Yang Xue's scolding tone, Director Wang couldn't help but wonder who knocked over the pile of chairs. He passed by us, glared at me, and then pulled the producer aside.
He Lu nodded and apologized, but I secretly observed Director Wang opposite. He whispered something in the producer's ear, and the producer's expression suddenly changed. I guess he told the producer about Chen Shulei's inability to attend the press conference, which made the producer so shocked.
No matter what movie's promotion meeting, the starring role is the focus, and for the promotion meeting of "Green Snake", Chen Shulei, as the female lead, is the top priority. Many media are waiting to see the grace of Green Snake makeup. When she makes a mistake at a critical moment, no matter which leader knows about it, they will get angry. Director Wang could tolerate having such a relationship with her in private, but the other assistant directors and producers almost went berserk on the spot.
The producer said, "Damn it," and followed Director Wang away, probably to discuss countermeasures.
Chen Shulei went to a bar and was beaten until her face was swollen. No matter how you look at it, it is very interesting news. No wonder He Lu couldn't help laughing just now. She, Chen Shulei, usually shows off her power and beats and scolds countless people, but now she also ends up being beaten. I really want to know who beat her. I must give him a 'Hero Award'. He is a man.
Seeing us stunned, Yang Xue couldn't help but scolded us again: "What are you doing there? If you don't want to work, just stay out of the way!"
He Lu and I glared at her sadly and continued to go back to the corner.
At this moment, Yuan Yushan rushed over, grabbed Yang Xue and asked, "Is Chen Shulei here?" From the look of her, it was obvious that she did not recognize Yang Xue.
Yang Xue threw her hand away in disgust, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Yuan Yushan swallowed her saliva and introduced herself seriously: "I am Yuan Sheng's intern makeup artist, responsible for Chen Shulei's promotional makeup. My name is Yuan Yushan, please take care of me."
"Are you also a makeup artist? Isn't Chen Shulei's makeup artist Shen Yan? How many makeup artists are you on site today?" Yang Xue raised her eyebrows.
"Total, three." Yuan Yushan replied breathlessly, her eyes swept towards me, and I immediately pulled He Lu inside.
Back in the corner, He Lu whispered: "You don't know how much time Yuan Yushan has spent preparing for this promotional meeting. If she knew that Chen Shulei could not attend today, she would definitely be disappointed to death."
He Lu's words were mixed with some joyful meaning, as if she was speaking them deliberately to me. She must think that I hate Yuan Yushan very much, and she will feel very happy when she sees Yuan Yushan's ugly behavior. I didn't say anything, I just smiled. What I wanted to see more than Yuan Yushan's jokes was Director Wang and Chen Shulei.
The promotional meeting is about to start in more than two hours, and I want to see where Director Wang and the others can find a woman with the same body and shape as Chen Shulei to be a stand-in. If Liang Sheng knew about this kind of thing, the entire entertainment department would be in trouble.
Yuan Yushan entered the scene and immediately saw mine in the corner. She waved to me and trotted over with an ignorant smile on her face: "You guys are here so early. Well, where is Chen Shulei? When will we start working? ?”
Seeing that I was silent, He Lu had no choice but to take over Yuan Yushan's words and said meaningfully: "I guess we won't be able to start work for a while."
The excitement on Yuan Yushan's face slowly turned into surprise: "What's wrong? What happened?"
He Lu glanced at me, and I shook my eyes without any trace. She immediately understood, shook her head and said, "I don't know, none of the protagonists are here anyway."
It's strange to say that something happened to Chen Shulei. We knew it if he didn't come. Why hasn't Ling Xiao been seen yet? He is always very active in filming. It seems that there is a lot of inside information in today's promotion meeting. .
After waiting for a while, Director Wang appeared in the exhibition hall again. He looked around at the exhibition with no expression on his face. He paused for a while and then slowly walked towards us. Behind him was the producer just now.
The producer dismissed several surrounding staff members, and then Director Wang focused his eyes on me. He almost looked at me from head to toe, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "It's you."
"What?" I said in shock.
The producer came over and explained in a low voice: "I just received news that the female lead, Chen Shulei, had an accident on the way here and cannot attend this promotion meeting. But as you know, the director team and the company spent a lot of money on this promotion. I have put a lot of money and energy into it, but it will definitely not work without a female protagonist, so I discussed it with Director Wang. You and Chen Shulei have similar figures and are quite handsome. I want you to be Chen Shulei's stand-in. Cooperate. Promotional activities, I wonder if you are willing to do so?"
I was shocked. Are you asking me to be Chen Shulei's substitute? ! Are you kidding me? Her and I are similar in stature. She is taller than me, I am plumper than her, and my face shape is also different. One has an oval face and the other has an oval face. There is no way I can replace her.
I waved my hand quickly: "No, no, she and I are too different. It's impossible."
"Why not? I said yes!" Director Wang said with a serious face: "Aren't you makeup artists? I believe you can always cover up some subtle differences. No need to say anything, it's settled. Get ready and start putting on your makeup.”
Damn it, we are makeup artists, not disguisers. We really think we are Sun Wukong. Pulling a piece of monkey hair can make two completely different people look exactly the same.
"Stop talking, I'll give you an hour and I'll come and check. As for how to make you look more like Chen Shulei, I think you have your own ideas, so let's do it." Director Wang was really cool and turned around after speaking. Then he left, as if transforming me into Chen Shulei was as easy as transforming into a monkey. The damn thing is, I wasn't even given a chance to say no.
The producer patted me on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Relax, just do your best and leave the rest to us. Director Wang said that you are an excellent makeup artist, and you are the only one who is most suitable to be Chen Shulei's stand-in right now. !”
After he finished speaking, he smiled, patted my shoulder again, and left.
I thought about what he said. Director Wang would praise me as an excellent makeup artist. I wouldn't believe it unless he had planned it in his heart.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt enlightened. Director Wang is a well-established person. I discovered the affair between him and Chen Shulei. In addition, their conversation just now was probably overheard by me. In order to prevent me from exposing their relationship If the matter is revealed, just use me as a backup.
On the surface, letting me be Chen Shulei's stand-in is considered a 'special consideration'. After all, being the 'protagonist' is a dream for most girls. In fact, being Chen Shulei's stand-in is equivalent to stepping into this world. Wading in troubled waters, if I leak this matter, he can publish my identity. Pretending to be a heroine to deceive the masses is a big crime.
