The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 65: set

Views:

Jiang Baiyan didn't start filming early today.

It is uncomfortable and exhausting to wait on set with makeup on, so when a crew is filming, the more important extras will put on makeup earlier, and the famous ones will have their turn last.

Jiang Baiyan's scene today is in the morning, so it's considered late to put on makeup at six o'clock.

He had been waiting for Jian Jing all along, but she didn't do anything else when she came. She came at around eight o'clock when he finished filming his scenes and was waiting for the show.

The assistant was rehearsing with him. Although he had a good memory, he would read the script every day to avoid mumbling during filming.

"I'm sorry I got up late." She sighed.

"It's all right, my performance today started very early. It's not usually this early." Jiang Baiyan said in a brisk tone, "Has Teacher Jingjing had breakfast?"

Jian Jing said: "I ate it on the way."

Not only did she eat, but she also met the uncle who was at the door yesterday at the stall. He took out a copy of "White Cat Detective" and said that her daughter was his fan and asked her for an autograph.

Jian Jing felt extremely surprised to think that she could be treated like this in such a star-studded place.

The uncle said something from the bottom of his heart: "I've been here all year round, how can I not know what those celebrities are like? How much value can the things that are packaged have?"

Jian Jing smiled and gave him an autograph, thinking, this is a white man.

The glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry is like a big dream. There are too many filters between fans and idols, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

The girl who is fanatically in love with Jiang Baiyan may be just within reach, but in fact, she is out of reach.

"Is my face powdered?" Jiang Baiyan touched his face, his eyes moving slightly, "If not, ask the makeup artist to touch up my makeup."

Jian Jing came back to her senses and smiled again at his intelligence: "Okay."

While calling people, Jiang Baiyan talked to her in detail about the makeup team under the art team. The makeup team has a team leader and two makeup artists, who are responsible for the makeup of the leading actors, but Cai Tonger brought her own stylist, so they are doing the work of three people.

"Me, Teacher Wang, and Teacher Qian." Jiang Baiyan counted with her on his fingers.

Senior actors Wang and Qian played the parents in the play respectively.

In addition, the senior makeup assistant will do makeup and hair for other supporting roles, while the junior assistant will do makeup and hair for extras. The difficulty of the tasks decreases, and the salary also decreases accordingly.

Jian Jing took note of it silently.

The makeup artist arrived quickly and blinked in surprise when she saw Jian Jing there.

"This is Teacher Jian, the original author of the hide-and-seek game I played. It seems that the play I performed the other day was based on this material?" Jiang Baiyan's acting was so natural and natural, as if that was the case.

Jian Jing agreed, "Yes, screenwriter Xu said he would accompany me to the location, but I drank too much last night and I don't think I can get up before noon today, so I had to let someone else take me."

"Then I have to ask screenwriter Xu for a meal." Jiang Baiyan said something that seemed to slip his tongue, and then he seemed to react and tried to make up for it, "Ah, I am willing to teach Teacher Jingjing even if we don't have a meal. I am willing to do it!"

He pretended to be very pitiful, as if he was really afraid of offending her.

The others laughed in agreement.

Jiang Baiyan looked anxious to change the subject: "This is Teacher Xiaoxin."

"Hi~" The makeup artist is a tall, thin, white young man with a slightly basic temperament, "Teacher Jian has great skin."

Jian Jing greeted him and her eyes fell on the makeup box on display.

A makeup artist's stuff is naturally very complete. Blush alone can fill up an entire drawer, and there are plenty of eye shadows, including a wide variety of gold and pearlescent colors.

But this makeup artist is a gay, and the two assistants he brought with him are one man and one woman.

Jiang Baiyan plays a high school student, and her makeup is very clean, with matte eyeshadow, and she has never used glitter. But when I watched Cai Tonger act yesterday, because her role was a little gangster, her eyelids were sparkling.

Jian Jing observed calmly, his peripheral vision fixed on the female assistant.

She was also qualified to do makeup for celebrities, helping pass things and organize makeup brushes, working diligently and efficiently. Jian Jing helped her pass things and said, "What kind of bristles are on this brush? It feels so soft."

"This is from Bai Fengtang, it's all goat hair." The girl listed them all. "It's very soft on the face, and the powder it gives off feels very natural."

Jian Jing smiled: "Are you specialized in this?"

"No, I just changed my job lately. I started doing this because I thought it was fun." The girl was very talkative.

"How long has it been?"

“This is the third year.”

Styling takes time, and everyone was very chatty, and couldn't stop talking. After a while, Jian Jing heard that the girl had a boyfriend. They had been dating for a few months, and they were rarely together, but they were still in a relationship.

It's better to be safe than sorry, after all, everyone has seen it. She thought it was just an excuse, so she used a telescope to look at the other person's phone. The chat partner at the top of WeChat was very conspicuous, with a note called "Pighead".

This is more real than calling him "old man".

Jian Jing shook her head in her heart and ruled her out.

After Jiang Baiyan finished touching up his makeup, Teacher Xiaoxin stayed to chat with him, but Jian Jing followed the assistant and said she wanted to see what the big dressing room looked like.

“It’s a mess out there.”

The assistant said nonsense. The big dressing room was full of extras and it was a mess. A dozen people in school uniforms were sitting together. They were all young people who were playing the roles of students today.

The assistants were busy checking their hairstyles. Some of them put on makeup at three o'clock, and after a few hours their faces became oily, so they quickly touched up their makeup.

Three of the girls are designed as little gangsters who hang out with the younger sister played by Cai Tong'er. They have heavy eyeshadow and their eyelids are decorated with gold or blue sequins. Their makeup is unique and there is no overlap.

Jian Jing immediately stared at the makeup assistant.

She was in her early twenties, slightly plump, wearing a mask and glasses, and she didn't talk to anyone. She didn't interrupt others when they were discussing the stars, and seemed to be uninterested in it.

Jian Jing hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she had found the wrong person.

"Please move aside." the girl said coldly.

Jian Jing leaned to the side calmly and said, "The makeup you put on is similar to that of Cai Tong'er."

The girl frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Yes."

Jian Jing smiled slightly and lowered her head to send a text message.

On the other end, Sister Chen received the news, let out a long sigh, and said to Jiang Baiyan: "Teacher Jian asked us to change the scene and move the sixth scene of episode 12 to the front."

Jiang Baiyan flipped through the script and said, "Okay."

"You're right, Director Mao will definitely give you this favor." Sister Chen hesitated, "But, isn't it too dangerous to stimulate her like this?"

This was a "trap" set up by Jian Jing to stage a more intimate scene with Cai Tong'er in order to further stimulate the mastermind behind the scenes and force her to take action and reveal her tracks.

Sister Chen had seen crazy fans before, and was really afraid that they would go crazy and ruin Jiang Baiyan.

"It's dangerous if she stays by my side all the time." Jiang Baiyan said soberly, "Teacher Jingjing is not a member of the crew after all. If she stays for too long, it will be suspicious. Let's deal with it as soon as possible so that everyone can be safe."

He emphasized: "It's decided."

Sister Chen sighed deeply, knowing that if he said that, there would be no room for objection: "Okay, I'll go find the director."

The excuse is not hard to find. Director Mao used the scene of the injury yesterday, and Sister Chen spent a lot of effort to convince him to move the scene that matched the timeline to the front to prevent Jiang Baiyan from repeatedly torturing his wound.

"Xiaobai, get ready, it's your turn." The stage manager reminded.

"Here it comes." Jiang Baiyan untied the gauze on his hand and put on a small skin-colored Band-Aid.

The lights came on and the actors were ready to shoot the fight scene before they got hurt.

Two classes in the school had a fight over a basketball court. Jiang Baiyan's brother was among them and was the one who was specially punished.

Director Mao asked, "Is the hand okay?"

Of course it hurts, but Jiang Baiyan nodded: "Okay."

Then after shooting the three-hour fight scene, the wound split open.

Sister Chen wanted to bandage him, but he stopped her.

She smiled and said, "Are you worried that the one I wrap is not as good as Teacher Jian's?"

Jiang Baiyan ignored her, took a picture with his phone, and then reached out: "Sister Chen, don't say such things in the future. Teacher Jingjing said that there is a role suitable for me in Devil 2. If you offend this person, I will tell Sister Lin later."

Sister Lin is his big agent, one of the most prestigious agents in the company.

Sister Chen was startled and looked a little embarrassed.

Jiang Baiyan ignored her and after bandaging his wound, he went back to the dressing room to rest.

When the assistant saw him coming back, he quickly said, "I have been here the whole time. No one has been here before."

Jiang Baiyan nodded briefly.

Jian Jing had stressed that they had to be careful these two days and not leave any opportunities for mistakes on the set. Therefore, the assistant stayed in the dressing room today, and Sister Chen asked the prop master to check again before filming, and only started filming after confirming that there were no errors.

Cai Tong'er's agent also said some strange things. Director Mao felt that Jiang Baiyan's injury yesterday was due to the crew's efforts, so it was reasonable for the agent to be careful, so he took the initiative to help, which led to the gossip.

We were very careful in shooting the other scenes today, and only started shooting the rainy night scene at night.

This was the scene after the quarrel yesterday. The younger sister ran to the street and accidentally twisted her foot. The older brother went to look for her in the middle of the night, and finally found her in the garden, and carried her all the way back home.

The relationship between the siblings has since improved.

Jiang Baiyan treated his wound in advance and went on stage with a bandage.

Cai Tong'er's acting is just so-so, her emotions are never right, the rain from the sprinkler truck kept falling again and again, and she drank three bowls of ginger tea, and it took until midnight before she finished.

"I'm sorry." Cai Tong'er apologized for the nth time.

Jiang Baiyan forced a smile and said, "No, I'm not in good condition either."

After being soaked in water for more than an hour, even a man of iron would not feel better. He sniffed and slowed down his tone: "Your emotions were right just now. Let's do it again."

Once, just once.

Once again, one more time.

Jiang Baiyan is becoming more and more perfect each time, but Cai Tonger is not very motivated.

After a while, Director Mao was tired and almost said, "Cut, passed."

Jiang Baiyan was so tired that he almost fell down, but he held on for a breath and chatted with Cai Tonger: "You performed very well today, and the crying sound at the end was so real."

The sound of crying is the nasal sound of a cold.

He chatted with her for a while against his conscience before finishing his work in a friendly manner.

Sister Chen immediately put clothes on him and handed him ginger tea - the clothes and the cup were always in her hands and never left her sight.

Jiang Baiyan shivered: "Let's go back to the hotel quickly, I'm freezing to death."

The driver drove them back to the hotel at high speed.

Sister Chen walked him to the door of the room, but she didn't go in to check and waved her hand: "Go to bed early."

"See you tomorrow." Jiang Baiyan swiped his card and entered the house.

The hotel room had no electricity without a card, so he was about to insert the card when he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing by in his peripheral vision.

No way!

Jiang Baiyan's heart trembled, and he pulled the door open and tried to run out.

But the shadow was faster than him. He raised his leg and kicked the door from behind. With a light "click", the lock was fastened and the door was closed tightly.

Jiang Baiyan stepped back immediately, his back against the door, thinking, is my innocence at stake
