Wang Xiaodan didn't tell me what happened to her that day, but she gave me a strange piece of advice. She said, Shen Yan, you must stick to your heart and don't trust anyone, no matter how tempting others may be. Don't easily agree to do things for others regardless of the conditions. Once you start something, you can never look back.
I promised her to accept the job of chief makeup artist for this new movie. After learning about it, Liang Sheng not only did not object, but also added more people to me. Wang Xiaodan disappeared the next day. Before leaving, she only sent me a text message. She said she was going out to relax and told me not to worry.
Growing up is lonely. My friends around me are leaving me one by one, and all I can rely on is myself. It was after listening to Wang Xiaodan's words that I refused Liang Sheng's request to be his assistant without hesitation. I decided to stick to my dream. No matter what the outcome was, I wanted to work hard step by step according to my established planned route. Fight for.
The new movie is called "Green Snake". It is a fantasy drama. The heroine is Chen Shulei. The male protagonist is a young idol actor of the new generation who is very popular at the moment. I can't remember his name. The film's president was Yuan Sheng, and another film and television company was involved in the filming. That film and television company also brought their own behind-the-scenes team, several of whom were makeup artists. Originally, I thought that the makeup artists from our Yuan Sheng headquarters were responsible for the makeup of all the actors. Now that several makeup artists from other companies have come in, I don’t know how to arrange the makeup work.
Jin Jing took the initiative to ask for makeup for the male protagonist. I knew her intention was that she thought the male protagonist was handsome. Moreover, the male protagonist in the movie was just an ordinary scholar and did not need any special makeup. The work was not difficult, which was true for an actress. Much easier. Of course, I did not agree and directly handed over the male protagonist's makeup to He Lu. This was not because I was seeking revenge, but because Jin Jing was suitable for wearing coquettish and heavy makeup. It was a waste to assign her to the actor's makeup.
After the division of work among the make-up artists in the headquarters was completed, it was the turn of several make-up artists from the partner company. Because they were added temporarily, I wasn't sure what they were good at, so I randomly assigned them to do makeup work for several supporting roles and extras.
On the day of the movie's opening ceremony, Liang Sheng appeared on the set, and reporters from many entertainment magazines and newspapers came in one after another, just to take a picture of Liang Sheng's face and grab headlines. I was sitting in the props team listening to all the gossips of my colleagues around me. A girl from the props team said, "Do you think these reporters are here for our opening ceremony? Haha, simple! Those wolves and tigers The reporters are all here for our Mr. Liang, you know, we, Mr. Liang, have not attended such a public event for eight hundred years."
Another prop man slightly loosened the hand holding the microphone and shook it: "Exaggeration, how can Mr. Liang not show up in public? He has to participate in many occasions?"
The girl shook her head and continued: "So we, Mr. Liang, are willful and willful. If they don't participate, what can you do to them?"
He Lu stuck her head out from behind and asked in a low voice: "Then why is he here today? It's just a power-on ceremony."
This question happened to be something I wanted to ask, and when He Lu asked, I pricked up my ears to listen.
The girl shook her head again, "Who knows, maybe he pays more attention to this movie, or maybe he is here for Chen Shulei as rumored. Hey, there's a microphone, please go ahead and pick it up."
The guy holding the microphone nodded repeatedly, and he was caught out immediately after finally being lazy. His job was quite sad, and his arms would get sore easily.
I looked at Liang Sheng not far away, surrounded by reporters enthusiastically, so I pulled He Lu to the front to join in the fun. The camera was tied with a red ribbon, and there were some loudspeakers placed on the field, commonly known as sixteen-guns in our area. They are usually only set off during New Year celebrations or celebrations, just like fireworks, but they are of a very large size, and It will ring sixteen shots.
After Liang Sheng and the director and producer cut the ribbon, the sixteen bells were fired by the venue management. He Lu and I just bent over and squeezed through the crowd at our own pace. The fireworks suddenly made a loud bang, which scared He Lu. Lu staggered, grabbed my collar and threw me to the ground together. The crowd just happened to loosen up, so we fell. However, her hand hooked the red ribbon on the tripod of a camera, pulling the camera in front of everyone. He fell down in surprise.
I don’t know what He Lu was thinking, but my first reaction was that I was finished. Not to mention how unlucky it would be for the opening ceremony if the camera fell over. If the camera itself was even slightly damaged, I, a working-class person who had just graduated, would not be able to afford the compensation. I would lose my job casually. Thinking of this, I stepped forward without hesitation and hugged the fallen camera in my arms, and then I heard everyone's exclamations.
The camera hit my head and hurt my abdomen, but thanks to my human flesh pad, the camera didn't seem to be damaged at all. Before I had time to rejoice, Liang Sheng, in full view of everyone, stepped forward and grabbed my arm, lifted me up from the ground, and yelled at me: "Are you crazy? Do you know how heavy this camera is? If it were higher, A little, and it can blow your head off!”
Seeing that there was news to catch, the reporters gathered around him one after another, and the staff at the scene also excitedly stepped forward to stop him.
He Lu got up and asked me, "Are you okay, Shen Yan?"
My head was a little confused, but I could feel that I was fine. I shook my head and said angrily: "I'm fine. Is the camera fine?"
"The camera is fine too," the staff behind shouted.
"That's good." I closed my eyelids, my head getting heavier and heavier. Before I closed my eyes, a pair of strong arms picked me up around my waist, and Liang Sheng's anxious voice sounded above me: "Go and get the car quickly. Drive over here!"
Even with my eyes closed, I could still feel the flashes of many cameras flashing.
