Chapter 740: Universally recognized as pretty

Amidst the panicked screams of the girls, a boy's voice sounded.

Shen Li wasn't afraid of the dark, so she was very calm, but Wang Ziyu beside her was clearly very timid. The moment the lights went out, she instinctively hooked onto Shen Li's arm.

"A-Li, are you okay?" Tan Yue's nervous voice followed closely.

Shen Li hurriedly said: "I'm fine. It's probably a circuit break. It'll be fine in a while."

As she spoke, she patted Wang Ziyu beside her: "Don't be afraid. Your eyes will be able to see once they adapt."

Sure enough, after falling into darkness for about twenty or thirty seconds, even without turning on the lights, they could vaguely see the surrounding environment once their eyes adapted, because there was faint light from outside shining in.

And two or three minutes later, the restaurant lights turned back on.

Some girls were scared out of their wits, and their faces were pale.

Wang Ziyu slowly let go of Shen Li's arm and lowered her head embarrassedly: "Sister Shen Li, I was a bit scared just now."

"It's okay."

Only Xu Ke'er had a flushed face, and she gave Liu Tong a shy look. Liu Tong had a smug, bad smile on the corner of his mouth, clearly having done something in the dark.

The staff came out to explain and apologize; it was just a tripped circuit breaker.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm, and no one was injured.

The next day, Shen Li woke up and washed up on time with the alarm clock, and Xiao Yun also went to the restaurant to bring breakfast for Shen Li.

"Today's filming location is in a residential area and a middle school. We'll gather downstairs in a while, and there will be a bus to pick us up. Your brother is already waiting downstairs."

Shen Li ate a slice of bread and an egg, drank a glass of milk, and then quickly wrapped herself in a down jacket and went downstairs.

"Sister!"

As soon as she went downstairs, Guang Rong came up to greet her. Seeing that he was in good condition, Shen Li said: "You're quite energetic. Did you sleep very well yesterday?"

"I slept so well. Isn't it said that jet lag is very troublesome? I didn't feel anything at all. The bed and pillow in that hotel were particularly comfortable. I specially set an alarm, but it didn't even ring, and I just happened to wake up naturally five minutes early."

Listening to Guang Rong's words and looking at the listless actors of the crew around, the contrast was not just ordinary.

Many people were due to jet lag, and many others were too excited about going abroad for the first time. In short, not many had rested well.

When the car arrived, according to the script's "scene" order and makeup/hair order, Shen Li needed to go to the set in the first batch.

Shen Li pulled Guang Rong onto the car, and Tan Yue followed behind them.

As soon as they sat down, they saw Wang Ziyu also coming.

"Sister Shen Li." She still took the initiative to greet Shen Li, but also noticed a very tall boy sitting next to Shen Li.

Just as she wanted to go to the back seat, Shen Li took the initiative to pat Guang Rong: "You go to the back and sit with Tan Yue."

Then she greeted Wang Ziyu: "Ziyu, you sit next to me."

Wang Ziyu immediately showed a joyful expression, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Shen Li was sparkling: "Thank you."

Guang Rong looked at this girl in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: She's really pretty.

"Do you have an early scene today?" Shen Li took the initiative to talk to Wang Ziyu.

Wang Ziyu nodded. She was no longer so introverted in front of Shen Li and took the initiative to explain: "It was originally a mid-day scene, but last month I received the final script and saw that they added a bit of scenes for me at the beginning."

"It seems we don't have any scenes together." Shen Li flipped through the script again and confirmed.

"It seems we don't have any in the first few scenes. I have scenes with Teacher Ke'er today."

Wang Ziyu wasn't completely a newcomer; she had filmed a movie before. Her scenes weren't many, but because she was too pretty, the character was very popular, and it was also because of the popular video that she was noticed by Director Li Xiao.

"Sister Shen Li, the boy next to you just now is so tall!" Wang Ziyu couldn't help but exclaim.

Upon hearing this, Shen Li couldn't help but subconsciously look back at Guang Rong, and then said with a smile: "He's my brother. He's 1.9 meters tall."

"Correction, 1.92 meters." Guang Rong had actually heard the two talking and suddenly poked his head over to interject.

His voice startled Wang Ziyu, and her lively eyes showed a deer-like surprise.

"Sorry, sorry." Guang Rong noticed her reaction and hurriedly apologized: "I didn't mean to."

Wang Ziyu waved her hand with a slightly red face: "N-no problem."

Seeing this, Shen Li looked at Guang Rong and reminded him: "You can't be like this when you get to the set later. You must keep quiet after filming starts, otherwise the sound will be picked up by the recording equipment, and don't run around."

"Got it, Sister. I promise not to cause you any trouble."

"Sister Shen Li, is he your biological brother?" Wang Ziyu asked subconsciously, but only realized she had said the wrong thing after asking, and hurriedly apologized: "Ah, sorry, I..."

"Eldest Aunt, really?" Xiao Min looked at her eldest aunt incredibly. She had actually prepared to find a job early tomorrow morning.

Wang Ziyu lowered her eyes somewhat embarrassedly and said in a low voice: "Just that news from a while ago, I..."

"Oh, that matter. I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it." Shen Li smiled indifferently: "You don't have to be so cautious. It's not a big deal. Guang Rong is not my biological brother; he's from my aunt's family."

Wang Ziyu had a well-behaved expression of having done something wrong, and upon hearing this, she nodded knowingly.

The car soon arrived at the first set. In addition to the original scenery, the crew had also built some other scenes.

As soon as they got off the car, there were staff members who took people to different dressing rooms according to the list.

Because it was a modern drama, the makeup and styling weren't complicated.

And Shen Li had originally thought that she would share a dressing room and lounge with everyone this time, but after entering, she found that she had an independent lounge.

The makeup artist was also exclusive.

Xiao Yun went to confirm immediately: "A-Li, you indeed have an independent lounge and dressing room."

"Am I the only one like this?"

"I don't know about that. I don't know how the crew arranged it."

Shen Li didn't think much about it and sat down to review the script while letting the makeup artist apply her makeup.

And the other dressing room was somewhat overcrowded. In one room, there were more than a dozen actors and several makeup artists. They didn't even need to face the mirror to draw; the actress just sat there, and the makeup artist faced her and applied it with tools.

Wang Ziyu was queuing inside. When it was her turn, the makeup artist stared at her face for a long time, and finally said: "You don't need makeup. Your foundation is so good that applying even one more stroke is redundant. I'll just fix your hair."

This sentence drew collective side-glances from other actresses nearby.

Everyone had different expressions; some were envious, and some were jealous.

But the fact that Wang Ziyu was pretty was unquestionable.

And it was just such a sentence from the makeup artist that was spoken from the heart, which soon spread throughout the crew, and also reached the ears of Shen Li and Xu Ke'er.

It happened that Xu Ke'er's makeup artist was holding a powder puff and patting concealer on her face. That thick layer of concealer barely covered all the blemishes on her face, and she was almost angered to faint upon hearing this sentence. ===== CHAPTER 741 =====
