An Lu was not famous yet. Most people did not know her temperament, but she, Ye Ningxiao, did. In her previous life, there had been rumors in the entertainment circle that Anlu had been willing to reveal the negative news of his opponent to bribe the troll army to discredit his opponent. Ye Ningxiao definitely did not believe that what had happened today had nothing to do with Anlu.
Thinking about the news reports from her previous life, if she remembered correctly, An Lu was very allergic to pollen.
Outside the hospital, Nie Xiaoxiao hailed a taxi and brought Ye Ningxiao back to the production crew. When the two of them returned to the set, the crew was extremely busy. When Lu Jin saw that Ye Ningxiao had returned, a large portion of his originally tense face melted away.
In her previous life, she had been in the performing arts industry, so she had instantly understood the meaning behind Lu Jin's words. She nodded slightly and said, ”Rest assured, Director Lu, I entered the hospital because my blood sugar is too low. It has nothing to do with the film crew.”
He was afraid that she would expose this matter to the entertainment reporters. If Ye Ningxiao were to expose a mistake in the filming crew's props, it would be a blow to the crew's reputation. The investors would definitely not give them any face. As for An Lu, Ye Ning Xiao thought of the club that had fallen on her body. Since she didn't want to rely on anyone else, why should she swallow her anger?
The manager, Xiao Lin, hastily ran over, ”Director Lu!” The walkie-talkie at his waist kept buzzing, but he ignored it, ”Director Zhao is coming!”
The filming crew was temporarily in a wooden dressing room with a slate house at the edge of the set. Ye Ningxiao was sitting on a chair, while Nie Xiaoying was helping her tidy up the hair ornaments on her head.
Nie Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue and stuck the last accessory on Ye Ningxiao's head. She volunteered to help Ye Ningxiao put on her makeup and looked in the mirror with satisfaction, ”Xiaoxiao, this outfit looks really good!”
While Nie Xiaoxiao was tidying her hair, Ye Ning Xiao skimmed through the script that Lu Jin had given her. Lu Jin had arranged for her to be a small beauty, not much more than a few episodes in the play. In order to gain a foothold in the palace, Rong Hua had no choice but to rely on Lin Fei, who had status, while An Lu played Lin Fei. In order to consolidate her position, Lin Fei, who was in the midst of a saint's family, tried to rope in Rong Hua, allowing her to dance at the empress dowager's birthday banquet.
In front of all the ministers and concubines, Rong Hua performed a ”Rainbow Dress Dance”. Naturally, the film crew did not expect that she, as a dragon, would be able to restore this dance. All they wanted was for her limbs to not be stiff. However, none of them had expected that after she became famous in her previous life, she had spent a lot of money to learn this song from a famous dancer in the country, and this song was one of the key teaching staff.
Lu Jin's office, which usually put on airs, now followed a man into the dressing room, ”Chen Yi, don't worry. Ye Ning Xiao won't expose this matter. If you came in person today, would she be in a hurry to sell the news to the puppies? ”
Nie Xiaoxiao's hand movements were interrupted by the two people who suddenly walked in. It was as though Ye Ning Xiao did not hear the sound of anyone entering. She did not even raise her head as she continued reading the script in her hands.
In order to conform with her character, her eyebrows were drawn on a thin willow leaf, like the eyebrows of a crescent moon, sealing a pool of tranquil water under her brows. From time to time, the water would ripple, causing Ye Ning Xiao to be so excited from reading the script that she didn't notice that someone was looking at her.
Lu Jin saw through the excitement in Zhao Chenyi's eyes and praised Ye Ningxiao in front of him without restraint. Only at this moment did Ye Ningxiao realize that someone had entered the dressing room and she hurriedly stood up.
Just as she was about to greet Lu Jin, Ye Ningxiao noticed a pair of eyes looking straight at her. Even in the entertainment industry, this person could be considered handsome. However, his eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of mist, making people feel that he wasn't clean enough.
In her previous life, she had seen him on set. He was one of the investors in Flowerfall Palace, Zhao Chenyi, and was also a well-known broker. He had once brought along several first-tier female celebrities, so he was now free. He would often come to the set because he had nothing to do, and in the name of being concerned about the progress of filming, he had tricked a lot of women into going to bed.
Zhao Chenyi stretched out his hand, ”You are Ye Ningxiao? Not bad, not bad. ” Ye Ningxiao had no choice but to shake hands with him. Her large hands tightly held hers, while Zhao Chenyi placed his other hand on the back of Ye Ningxiao's hand. Without batting an eyelid, Ye NingXiao withdrew her hand.
There was a trace of anger in Zhao Chenyi's eyes. He wiped his lips, ”Play well. After this performance is done, there will be more chances to do so. In a few days, you will also attend the group's banquet to interact with the actors.” Director Lu, do you think so? ”
Lu Jin quickly nodded, ”Since you've already said so, you'll have more chances to show your face in the future.”
Just as Ye Ningxiao and Nie Xiaoying sent the two of them out of the dressing room, Nie Xiaoying couldn't help but complain, ”What Director Zhao? He doesn't look like a good person at all! That pair of pig's hands makes me feel disgusted just by looking at it! ”
Ye Ningxiao frowned and did not say anything. Zhao Chenyi's last sentence seemed to have another meaning to it. However, the current her was not as timid as she was in her previous life. She would not compromise to anyone for the sake of fame!
The makeup she had put on earlier was somewhat messy, so Ye Ning Xiao had no choice but to sit back down on her chair and rearrange her makeup. The door was pulled open with a clang. Ye Ning Xiao frowned as she turned to look at the door. The film assistant, Lin Qiang, followed behind a tall woman with a down jacket in her arms. ”Sis, Sis, please wait for me!”
Dan Ling Smoke was wearing a red overcoat with exquisite makeup and this year's new version of Chanel Siegel Bag on her body. However, the exhaustion on her face could not be covered and there was a hint of anger on it.
Ye Ningxiao and Nie Xiaoying looked at each other, both of them tacit understanding. As the female lead of the filming crew, Dan Ling had a short temper and was coaxed by the producers and directors. In the rumors of her previous life, she was rumored to be Fang Anhui's girlfriend, so she obviously didn't put the people of the filming crew in her eyes.
The door opened once again and the person came in without a sound. That person scanned the dressing room and looked through the information in his hand. Finally, his gaze stopped on Ye Ning Xiao. He pointed at her and said, ”You are Ye Ning Xiao?”
Ye Ningxiao stared intently at the person who had just arrived. She did not recognize him. I am Zhao Chenyi's assistant, Cheng Yguang. Director Lu praised you in front of Director Zhao, saying it was a pity to let you run away. ”Tonight you will go to his room to discuss the role. This is the room card.”
When he said the two words ”discuss”, he emphasized on it. His gaze was ambiguous, and Ye Ning Xiao understood now.
”Heh,” A sneer came from not too far away. For the first time, Solitary Spirit had the feeling that he had been ignored, and when she heard Cheng Yiping and Ye Ning Xiao's conversation, she raised her cup as if she was interested in the patterns on it, ”I didn't expect a rogue like you to be able to get close to Boss Zhao. Lin Qiang, tell me, what kind of important characters need to be discussed at night?” Lin Qiang lowered her head in embarrassment. Everyone in the crew knew that Cheng Yiping was only an assistant to manager Zhao, so she didn't dare to offend him.
Ye Ningxiao ignored her. Her expression did not change as she said, ”Thank you for your love, Director Zhao. I still need to go to the hospital for a check-up tonight. I'll have to trouble you to thank Director Zhao on my behalf.”
Seeing that Ye Ningxiao was unmoved, Cheng Yiping adjusted the glasses on her nose and said impatiently, ”In the entertainment circle, there is no one who could obtain it without working hard. You had better consider this carefully.”
