Director Wang is so insidious!
My angry eyes followed his back until he disappeared into the exhibition hall.
Yuan Yushan obviously hadn't come to her senses yet, and asked in confusion: "What's going on? What does it mean to ask you to be Chen Shulei's substitute? Will you pretend to be Chen Shulei in tonight's promotion?"
I gritted my teeth and said nothing. He Lu tugged on my sleeve and whispered comfort: "Forget it, there's nothing wrong with letting you be a stand-in. The compensation for Chen Shulei's stand-in is said to be in five figures, so it's enough to make extra money."
He Lu obviously didn't think as much as I thought. What she saw was just the surface. Including Yuan Yushan.
Yuan Yushan was fully prepared for today's promotional meeting, and today she rushed over to do Chen Shulei's makeup with great interest. Some makeup artists worked hard for years and never touched the face of a protagonist. They just came to Yuan Sheng to do Chen Shulei's makeup. Yes. For Yuan Yushan, this is simply a joyful thing. But now her dream has come to nothing. Her makeup partner instantly changed from international movie star Chen Shulei to her ex-boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend. I don’t know what she is feeling at this time, but I can see every twitch of her mouth. .
The matter has come to this, and I have no other choice.
Fortunately, Green Snake makeup is a very heavy makeup. After the entire face is painted, it is almost impossible to find that the heroine has been tricked unless there is a big difference. As for height and figure, these can be completely covered with high heels and clothing. The tightness to cover up.
At first, Yuan Yushan's hands were trembling slightly. After she slowly got into the mood, she began to devote herself to every detail. When she started to draw my eyebrows, Ling Xiao finally appeared. He Lu pulled him over as if she was seeing her ancestor, "I finally expected you to come. I thought the male protagonist would also use a substitute."
"Ahem!" I pretended to cough, trying to cover up what He Lu had said. He Lu also understood what I meant and shut up immediately.
Ling Xiao probably didn't pay attention to He Lu's words. He focused on my face, looked back and forth, and guessed, "You are not Chen Shulei."
I didn't speak. The producer specifically told me not to let anyone else know. From the time I put on my makeup to the time I took it off, I couldn't say a word, and it was best not to even smile.
"Let me guess who you are." Ling Xiao rubbed his chin, pretending to be thoughtful, and then snapped his fingers, "Shen Yan!"
I suddenly turned to look at him, he recognized me this way, amazing!
"Don't be surprised. After all, I have seen countless women. Chen Shulei and I have been partners for so long. If you two can't tell the difference, wouldn't you be the number one genius in the universe?" Ling Xiao kept raising his eyebrows at me. It seems that he is in a mood today. It's great that he doesn't even care where his partner is and why he didn't attend the promotion meeting.
"Ling Xiao!" Yuan Yushan suddenly screamed, startling both me and Ling Xiao. Realizing that her voice was a bit high, she immediately lowered her voice and leaned towards Ling Xiao, saying excitedly: "I finally see you. In real life, you are much more handsome than on TV!"
The first time I met a big-name celebrity was like Yuan Yushan. I was relatively tight-lipped at first, and even if I was excited, I didn't show it much. I always felt that I looked very superficial.
This was not the first time that Ling Xiao was praised like this. He glanced at Yuan Yushan, tilted his head and asked me: "Who is this, the new makeup artist?"
I nodded.
Yuan Yushan extended her hand to Ling Xiao enthusiastically, "Hello, my name is Yuan Yushan, Yuan Sheng's new makeup artist, and Shen Yan is a good friend."
As soon as she said this, we were all stunned. He Lu and I were stunned because Yuan Yushan was really thick-skinned to say such a thing, and she and I were good friends. Haha, that was already a thing in the past.
Even though I couldn't speak, I couldn't help but correct him: "My classmate."
Ling Xiao chuckled, "Shen Yan's friend is my friend, so I won't introduce myself." He held Yuan Yushan's hand, and Yuan Yushan's face suddenly showed a shy look, and she shrank her neck in embarrassment.
"Are you okay here? The leaders of the group will come over soon. Please be more prompt. Ling Xiao, you are doing your job. Why don't you put on your makeup quickly? Did I come to you to pick up girls?" The person who spoke was the deputy director. , he urged for a while and then left.
Only then did we react and quickly speed up our movements.
After I finished setting my makeup, styling my hair, and changing into my costume, there was a sudden commotion outside the exhibition hall. All the staff inside heard the sound and filed out. I thought it was some big-name celebrity who appeared, but I didn't expect it to be stopped. The person who walked in surrounded by people turned out to be Liang Sheng.
He was still wearing a well-dressed suit, a gray tie, and a silver-white tie clip pinned in just the right place; he still had his hands in his pockets, his eyes were flat, showing aloofness and alienation, and there was a sense of distance that kept others away. He looked around After looking around the entire exhibition hall, his eyes glanced at our corner intentionally or unintentionally, then turned around and said something to the directors beside him.
Liang Sheng's magic power is that no matter where he goes, he can attract countless people to surround him, eager to stick to him. Yang Xue stood beside him excitedly on high heels, introducing him to the progress of the work in the exhibition hall. Sometimes he nodded in contemplation, sometimes expressed his opinions, and his movements were gentle and elegant.
After giving a few instructions, he turned around and walked out. As if he thought of something, he suddenly paused, turned back and glanced at me again, his eyes stagnant, then moved away without leaving a trace, and walked out.
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that he also recognized you." Ling Xiao crossed his legs and spoke intentionally or unintentionally while observing himself in the mirror.
I ignored him, my mind had already followed Liang Sheng to nowhere.
Didn't he say that he wouldn't attend today's promotional meeting? Why did he come over anyway? The deputy director said before that he is the leader of the group? I was thinking about it, and Yuan Yushan reminded me: "Don't bite your lips, the lipstick will bite off."
"Oh, I'm sorry." I blurted out subconsciously.
Yuan Yushan's hand that was close to my lips suddenly stopped and completely stiffened. She suspected that she had heard wrongly and asked, "Are you telling me that you're sorry?"
My heart skipped a beat. Did I say sorry to her? It seemed that he had just been distracted and didn't realize it. I know why Yuan Yushan was shocked. After what happened with her, I never said a few ordinary words to her again. Words like 'I'm sorry' were always said to me by her, and I never even said 'it's okay' in reply to her. .
I lowered my eyes and didn't respond.
She suddenly smiled and continued to fill my lip gloss.
He Lu is almost done, and reporters are already crowding outside the exhibition hall, ready to enter. Director Wang came over to check the results and was obviously shocked by my makeup.
After putting on high heels, costume, and cyan contact lenses, I also made slight adjustments to the highlights on my face. Now I look almost exactly like Chen Shulei in the movie. Even I have a hard time identifying myself. I don’t think Liang Sheng can figure out who I am.
