The studio is located in the western suburbs of Lanbin City. It has a large area and a wide variety of types, making it the first choice for many urban TV dramas.
The entrance of the studio was surrounded by fans, all of whom were long-time fans. When they heard about Guo Le's comeback, they all came to support him.
[Once a male god, always a male god]
[See this photo? My husband]
[Guo is like a cloud, but I am happy to keep it in my heart]
Roll-up banners were lined up along the flower beds, with cheering-colored banners held high so that Guo Le could see them as soon as he arrived.
Soon, Huo Jingjing came out. She had been in the industry for four years and had starred in several TV series thanks to the Huo family's connections, making her quite famous. When Guo Le's fans saw her, they immediately greeted her excitedly.
"It's Huo Jingjing!"
"Sister, are you the heroine?"
"When will Guo Le come?"
Huo Jingjing walked towards them wearing sunglasses, acting like a tolerant and gentle older sister: "Teacher Guo is still on the way. I just asked for you. It's still half an hour."
"Wow, you're so nice, sister! Which role are you playing?"
"I'm playing the second female lead."
"Sister is so beautiful but she is only the second female lead?"
"I can't help it. I was supposed to be the female lead, but relationships in the entertainment industry are actually quite complicated. You guys understand, right?"
"Oh...it's just that capital intervened and stuffed the capitalists' ugly children in, right?"
"Shh...I didn't say that."
"I understand, I understand. Sister, you are such a good person. There must be other opportunities waiting for you. Come on!"
After a while, Huo Jingjing turned normal casting into capital invasion and easily established the character of a pitiful little girl.
"I wonder which ugly kid it is."
"My poor husband has to compromise with the investors for his first MV after his comeback."
"Not really? I heard that Yi Hong was in charge of such a large production. Whose capital is bigger than Yi Hong's?"
"The Huo family is still behind Huo Jingjing. In terms of capital, she even outshines the Huo family. And you still say that she didn't get it through the backdoor?"
"Alas, this isn't the first time this has happened. The most important thing is that my husband has made a comeback. The rest is none of our business."
There was a lot of noise at the entrance, and the fluttering flags welcomed a long private car. The car was all black and parked at the entrance of the studio in a low-key and steady manner, but the logo on the hood was too eye-catching, attracting the attention of many car experts.
In the back seat, Lan Su leaned on the door armrest, opened a gap of one finger, and did not rush to get out of the car. Instead, he turned around and looked at the person next to him.
"Then I'll go up."
On the side, Huo Yan showed no intention of getting out of the car, but just nodded to her.
"Well, the shoot went well."
The retractable door outside the studio was filled with fans, one side was for Guo Le, the other side was for a popular star from another studio, and they were neatly lined with yellow lines, forming a path for the red carpet.
The field management team sent an assistant to pick me up, and he ran very fast with a blue ribbon badge:
"Teacher Lan Su, this way!"
As soon as Lan Su spoke, the crowd of onlookers went wild.
"Lan Su? Is that the Lan Su I'm thinking of?"
"Help! Her red carpet look is so out of the ordinary. It must be her!"
"This exquisite head-to-body ratio... I thought the one on the red carpet was photoshopped, but I didn't expect it to be so stunning."
"Oh my god, it's her! The car just turned around and I saw Huo Yan!"
"Is it really her? Isn't it said that marrying Huo Yan is like being widowed? Why did you personally send her to work?"
"Fuck, a cold-blooded CEO and a sickly and delicate wife, I'm going to take a bite!"
Just a simple appearance, no talking, no interaction, the onlookers' attention shifted from "backdoor" to "CP". Huo Jingjing's tense face and unhappy expression throughout the whole process were out of place.
The car drove away gradually. Jiang Feng glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed Huo Jingjing's hateful eyes staring at Lan Su, so he did not step on the accelerator.
"Boss Huo, wouldn't it be inappropriate for Miss Lan to be alone? How about asking an assistant to follow her?"
Huo Yan was concentrating on reviewing the documents for the upcoming meeting without even raising his head:
"No, she can handle it."
A mere Huo Jingjing cannot threaten the little leopard.
-------------------------------------
The dressing room is on the same floor as the studio, and there is a separate small room of 40 square meters that can accommodate 6 people putting on makeup at the same time.
Lan Su arrived 10 minutes early, and the makeup artist Sister Wei praised her highly.
"Artists nowadays are all like Da Di. It's good enough if they are not late. You are actually early." Sister Wei asked her to sit down first and did a simple facial cleansing.
"This is my first work since my debut, I want to take it seriously." Lan Su said calmly.
Sister Wei straightened her chair, facing a circle of half-length makeup mirrors with small white lights, and looked at the face in the mirror, and made a preliminary conclusion:
"You have a classy face."
"advanced?"
"Yes. The facial features are clear, the eyes are long, not the puppy eyes of internet celebrities, the cheeks are narrow, the top of the head is high, the lower jaw is wide, not the V-shaped face of a girl next door, very generous."
Generous! This is the first person who commented on her like this.
"I think I look very plain."
I remember the first time I did her hair, the stylist commented on her like this. In layman's terms, it was bland and it felt like this face wouldn't stir up any big waves.
Sister Wei smiled dotingly: "Su, it shows that you are very adaptable. You and Huo Yan have completely different looks."
"Really?" Lan Su became interested.
"Of course. She is mixed-race, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets. She is as beautiful as a sculpture, but this is her only style. But you are like a blank piece of paper, you can draw different pictures on it."
Lan Su almost ignored the rest of the words. A statue of Huo Yan and a portrait of himself appeared in his mind.
No matter how beautiful a portrait is, it is not as three-dimensional as a statue.
A long time later, Huo Yan asked Lan Su when she started to fall in love with him. Lan Su couldn't answer, but the conversation with Sister Wei that day came to her mind, and then she understood.
Looking up is the first step to love someone.
As they were talking, Huo Jingjing pushed the door open and walked in, putting on her friendly and kind fake smile:
"Sister Wei, Xiao Su, are you starting so early?"
Sister Wei is an old hand who never hits anyone who smiles at her, so she nodded at her kindly:
"Yes, it's almost time. The first shot today is for you two, so you have to prepare early."
Huo Jingjing sat on the leather chair next to Lan Su and took out a box of pearl powder from her handbag:
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Wei! This is the pearl powder my mother bought when she traveled to Australia. It is the best for nourishing the skin. You should try it."
Sister Wei took the box, glanced at the conspicuous logo on the top, and raised one eyebrow:
"This brand is not cheap."
"Price is secondary. The most important thing is the skin. For women, the skin is the second identity card. It must be taken good care of."
"Thank you. Looks like I have to put on my best makeup for you."
"Thank you, Sister Wei!"
Huo Jingjing crossed her arms, looked at Lan Su with concern, and deliberately asked:
"By the way, Xiao Su, what gift did you bring for Sister Wei?"
Lan Su looked up blankly: "Gift?"
Huo Jingjing seized on her weakness: "Yes, didn't Huo Yan tell you? When working together, you have to prepare gifts for the director, makeup artist, and stylist. This is an unwritten rule in the industry."
Normally, for a short-term collaboration, there was no teacher-student relationship, no support from seniors and juniors, so gifts were not given. But Huo Jingjing would not let go because it could embarrass Lan Su.
Lan Su looked at Sister Wei innocently, her eyes without makeup were clear and clean, as clear as spring water from a deep mountain flowing through a shallow beach.
No one can resist this look.
Sister Wei helped her out with ease: "What rule? Why haven't I heard of it?"
This was said with a smile, which could be understood as an indirect attack or a simple joke. While helping Lan Su out of the predicament, it also gave Huo Jingjing a way out.
"Jingjing, so you gave it to me because of the rules?"
With someone protecting her, Huo Jingjing couldn't continue to embarrass Lan Su, so she quickly acted like a spoiled child and said, "Hey, Sister Wei, what are you talking about? I just wanted to give you this pearl powder as soon as I got it!"
The three of them chatted while doing their pre-makeup care. When it was time to put on makeup, Huo Jingjing took out a box of liquid foundation from her bag.
"Sister Wei, we use the same foundation!"
Sister Wei turned her head and saw, "Her foundation has a very good lasting effect. She uses it when filming."
"My bottle is almost finished, so why don't you just use this one? My new one has arrived."
"There's still half a bottle left, don't you feel bad?"
"What's this? It's just half a bottle."
Lan Su stared at the two bottles that looked exactly the same, his calm eyes surging with undercurrents, his hands resting on the chair without moving. After 3 seconds, he seemed to have realized something, and raised his head to ask Huo Jingjing:
"You don't wear makeup?"
Sister Wei explained for her: "Of course. You two were supposed to do your makeup together, but my assistant was stuck in traffic and probably just got downstairs now."
Seeing that she had already opened the lid of her foundation, Huo Jingjing wanted to make an excuse to slip away:
"Then I'll go pick her up, Sister Wei, you put some foundation on Xiao Su first."
"good."
After everyone left, Lan Su's eyes flashed with a sharp light, he raised his eyes and smiled faintly:
"Sister Wei, I still want to use your foundation."
Sister Wei shrugged. Having worked in the entertainment industry for ten years, she had seen too many intrigues in public and behind the scenes. Huo Jingjing's method was not very clever, but it was very insidious. So she cooperated and exchanged the two bottles of liquid foundation, and safely applied her own bottle to Lan Su's face.
As for the bottle with the problem, let Huo Jingjing suffer the consequences.
