Chapter 38: New Drama Press Conference

~8 min read 1,407 words

She herself could be considered a fan of Song Yuner.

Although she wasn't like professional fans who controlled comments and ranked her every day online, she had watched all the dramas she acted in, and she also hoped to become an actress like her in the future.

Surrounded by staff and on-site security, Song Yuner walked very fast with sunglasses on. Shen Li only caught a glimpse of her from the periphery, and then the other party entered the exclusive dressing room.

However, thinking that she would appear on the same stage as her at the press conference in a while, Shen Li's heart couldn't help but be excited.

"Shen Li!"

At this moment, someone suddenly reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

Shen Li turned back in surprise, and when she saw the person behind her, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then happy: "Eh? Teacher Wen Xuan!"

Wen Xuan carried her makeup bag and asked with a smile: "Looking at Song Yuner?"

Shen Li nodded embarrassedly.

And Wen Xuan seemed to have her professional habit triggered, and suddenly began to examine Shen Li's makeup today seriously, which made Shen Li feel a bit embarrassed.

She touched her face awkwardly and said: "I did it myself. Is there a problem, teacher?"

Wen Xuan raised her eyebrows: "There's no big problem. Your foundation is good, it's just that a few details are a bit... maybe I'm too harsh as a makeup artist, but it's actually quite good."

But after saying that, she felt it wasn't enough: "Why don't you come with me? I'll redo it for you in a while."

Shen Li was naturally willing and nodded happily.

Following Teacher Wen Xuan all the way inside, Wen Xuan instructed while walking: "You sit on the side first when you go in later. I have to do Ren Jia's makeup first, and then I'll do yours."

"Ren Jia?" Shen Li was slightly surprised: "Is she also a lead?"

Wen Xuan nodded, thinking that the press conference was coming soon, so she told Shen Li directly: "She is the female lead's rival."

Shen Li showed a look of realization. The female lead's rival is the villain, that is, the heroine's number one mortal enemy, and Ren Jia debuted as a villain character, and it seems that she hasn't played any good people over the years.

However, her acting skills are good, and she has won awards, so she basically has no opponents in this track and is considered to be currently popular.

Shen Li couldn't help but think of what her sister said. If she plays a bad maid too well, it is very likely that her acting path will be fixed. This Ren Jia is a living example.

Entering the dressing room, Shen Li saw Ren Jia surrounded by a group of people at a glance. It seemed that a group of people were helping her go through the script, and she needed to memorize the answers to some questions she would have to answer later in advance.

"Jiajia, sorry, I'm late." Wen Xuan greeted naturally.

Seeing this, Ren Jia put down the script, glanced unintentionally at Shen Li, who was sitting at the door, and then looked at Wen Xuan with a smile: "It's okay, no rush."

In front of the makeup mirror, when the makeup light hit her face, it revealed Ren Jia's unsatisfactory skin condition. She didn't want to look at it either, and sighed irritably: "It's really hellish. My forehead has been breaking out in closed comedones recently, and so have the sides of my nose. It's annoying."

This wasn't the first time Wen Xuan had done Ren Jia's makeup, so she naturally knew that her skin condition had always been poor. Although she hadn't asked her personally, she had heard some news. Some people rumored that Ren Jia smoked and drank in private, and liked sweets and dairy products, all of which were things that easily caused acne.

"Small problem, leave it to me. I guarantee you won't be able to see it at all on camera." Wen Xuan said confidently.

Hearing this, Ren Jia immediately smiled: "I knew you were the most reliable. You must make me look good. Please."

Shen Li was sitting in the back, and through the makeup mirror, she could see it just right. Ren Jia couldn't ignore her even if she wanted to.

Superior appearance, perfect skin, black and thick hair, she was simply beautiful, whether she wanted to admit it or not.

Ren Jia looked at her calmly for a long time and asked tentatively: "Sister Xuan, who is that little girl? Your assistant?"

Wen Xuan was stunned when she heard this, looked back at Shen Li subconsciously, and then smiled: "No, she is an actor in this drama, playing 'Hua Xixi'!"

When Ren Jia heard this, her expression changed instantly.

Hua Xixi?

Isn't that the fourth female lead? Isn't the fourth female lead Tian Xiaolu?

How did it change to a newcomer she hadn't seen before?

Her heart turned slightly, and she snorted with a smile: "The competition in this circle is really fierce. I heard that Tian Xiaolu was stuck in a dispute with the investors over her salary, and as a result, she was replaced directly. It's really a pity."

Wen Xuan smiled and only said: "This little girl is quite good. She is a freshman at the Film Academy. I heard the photography team praising her."

"Oh?" Ren Jia raised her eyebrows: "Specifically praising a newcomer? That's fresh."

After speaking, she looked at Shen Li gloomily through the mirror, with a smile that wasn't a smile on the corner of her mouth.

About half an hour later, Wen Xuan finished Ren Jia's makeup, and the rest was left to the hair stylist.

She carried her makeup bag and sat on the chair next to Shen Li: "Make do with it. I'll just fix it for you like this."

Shen Li nodded: "Thank you, teacher."

In just a few minutes, Wen Xuan fixed Shen Li's makeup to a state that was more suitable for her and could better set off her beautiful appearance.

Finally, she nodded with satisfaction: "This is much better. Your pair of watery eyes are the most beautiful, especially captivating."

Shen Li smiled with a blushing face, and saw Wen Xuan stand up and say: "I guess the press conference will start in a while, so I'll go first."

Shen Li politely went out to see Wen Xuan off, and as soon as Shen Li left, Ren Jia said to the assistant on the side: "Xiaoya, go call Brother Tong."

"Now?" Xiaoya looked at the time: "It's about to start. Brother Tong must be busy right now, right?"

"I told you to call him, so call him. Hurry up." Ren Jia urged impatiently.

Xiaoya had no choice but to nod and walk out quickly.

Not long after, a man in a suit with headphones and a walkie-talkie walked in quickly, following Xiaoya.

"What's wrong, Jiajia? I'm sweating from being so busy. What's so important that you have to call me?" Qi Tong asked with a frown.

Ren Jia smiled and hooked her finger at him.

Qi Tong was a bit impatient, but still leaned over, and heard Ren Jia whisper a few words in his ear.

Hearing this, Qi Tong showed a look of surprise, and then said: "You... this is not necessary, right? A newcomer, even if she gets on stage, how many shots can she have? There isn't even a question about her on the script. If she stands there, she's just a background board."

"I don't care. Anyway, I'm asking you. Can you do it or not?" Ren Jia pouted, showing a pitiful look.

After all, with her makeup and hair complete, Ren Jia looked quite beautiful at this moment.

Qi Tong nodded with an expression that he couldn't do anything about her: "Fine, fine, fine. I'll handle it. Just this once!"

"Look at how fierce you are. Anyway, I'll still come to you if I have something next time." Ren Jia said triumphantly.

Qi Tong smiled helplessly, and the walkie-talkie came with a urging sound. He picked it up and said: "The stage entry area might not be enough. A few actors might not be able to get on stage. Send me the actor list and I'll take a look." ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
