Chapter 741: Slightly modified

"Why are you patting it so thick!"

Xu Ke'er was in a bad mood and took it out on the makeup artist nearby: "Don't you know that Director Li Xiao requires actors to use the most natural state? You're applying such thick makeup on me; do you think my face is in a very bad state and needs a lot of things covered?"

The makeup artist was a young girl and was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart: Wasn't it you who asked to cover all the blemishes on your face as soon as you sat down?

"Take it off, redo it!"

"A-alright."

The manager on the side, Li Qiang, saw that she was angry and couldn't help but comfort her: "Alright, alright, what's the big deal? It's just a newcomer. No matter how pretty she is, she still has to be respectful when she sees you."

"Even Shen Li has to take the initiative to greet you when she sees you, so isn't this what's-her-name Yu even more so?"

"The thing that's least lacking in this circle is beauties. What's the use of just being pretty?"

Xu Ke'er looked at him through the mirror and said impatiently: "This is Director Li Xiao's play. Don't take these plays full of little girls for me in the future. I'm annoyed just looking at them."

She was in her prime and didn't think she was old, but people were afraid of comparison. If you were twenty-five and stuck in a pile of twenty-year-old girls, you would be very eye-catching.

Girls were more sensitive to such things, and female stars even more so.

Li Qiang stepped forward and patted Xu Ke'er on the shoulder, saying in a low voice: "This opportunity is rare. You haven't had a representative work that left a deep impression on the public in the few years since you debuted. You have quite a lot of scenes in this movie. If you act well, this will be your representative work."

"And this is your stepping stone. After acting in Director Li Xiao's play, the hit rate for auditioning for other directors' plays will be greatly improved. Think about it, isn't that the truth?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ke'er nodded. She had known these truths from the beginning.

So from the beginning, she had a plan to hook up with Liu Tong. As Director Li Xiao's assistant director, Liu Tong had great real power, and it was he who recommended Xu Ke'er to Director Li Xiao and helped her get a very good role.

Otherwise, just based on Xu Ke'er's qualifications, she basically had no chance of winning the role through auditions.

On the other side, Shen Li also quickly completed her makeup and styling, which was almost in a completely bare-faced state.

"A-Li, hold this." Xiao Yun stuffed a hot water bottle into Shen Li's arms: "It will definitely be cold when waiting for scenes."

"What about Guang Rong?"

"He went to the front set to watch the fun."

At this time, the set was undergoing final set decoration, and all departments were also making final adjustments.

Guang Rong stood on the periphery and watched with great interest. People were coming and going, rushing around, but it was orderly amidst the busyness.

"Hey, that tall guy over there, don't just stand there, come over and help!"

Someone suddenly shouted at Guang Rong. Guang Rong looked left and right, then pointed at himself.

"That's right, it's you. Come and help hang this thing up there."

Upon hearing this, Guang Rong walked up. The other party handed him two "Chinese knots" and pointed to two nails on the door pillar: "Hang it on that."

There was a ladder nearby. Guang Rong was tall, so he stepped on two rungs and reached out to hang the things up.

Seeing this, the man smiled: "Being tall is convenient. Which group are you from? How come I haven't seen you?"

"Oh, I am..."

"Sorry, Teacher, he's not from the props group." Wang Ziyu suddenly appeared and helped Guang Rong explain: "He's Teacher Shen Li's brother, here to play on the set."

When the staff member heard that he was Shen Li's brother, he hurriedly reached out to apologize embarrassedly: "Oh, sorry, I-I thought you were from the crew. Sorry!"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Wang Ziyu pulled Guang Rong aside: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just helped out with a small thing."

"That's good. I thought you had encountered some trouble."

Guang Rong's gaze couldn't help but fall on Wang Ziyu's face. She was really pretty, the kind of pretty that anyone, whether male or female, and whether they had an aesthetic sense or not, would think was pretty.

"My name is He Guangrong." He suddenly introduced himself on an impulse.

Wang Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "My name is Wang Ziyu. You'd better not run around; wait for Sister Shen Li to come."

Guang Rong nodded and silently noted the girl's name.

"Wang Ziyu!"

At this time, someone suddenly shouted Wang Ziyu's name from afar.

Wang Ziyu subconsciously turned her head to look and saw a staff member wearing sunglasses waving at her: "Brother Tong is looking for you, hurry over."

"Alright, I'll go immediately." She replied, turned her head, and looked at Guang Rong again: "Then I'll go get busy first."

Without waiting for Guang Rong to respond, she turned and walked quickly towards the director's lounge.

Knocking on the door, there were only Liu Tong and a man and a woman inside; Director Li Xiao was not there.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?" She poked her head in first, and the appearance of that face couldn't help but make Liu Tong feel admiration.

Liu Tong beckoned: "Ziyu, come, come in."

Wang Ziyu walked into the lounge and heard Liu Tong introduce her: "These two are the screenwriters, Teacher Feng Chun and Teacher Yao Xiaoyan."

"Teachers, hello." Wang Ziyu still greeted them with a humble and respectful attitude.

Both screenwriters were relatively cold and sat there without moving. Then she saw Liu Tong pick up the script on the table and hand it to Wang Ziyu: "This is today's final script. Some slight changes have been made. Take a look and familiarize yourself with it now."

Final script?

Didn't she receive it a month before joining the crew?

How come it was changed again?

And who gives the final script less than an hour before filming starts?

Wang Ziyu's heart was full of question marks, but because she was a newcomer, she didn't dare to raise her doubts, so she could only obediently take it: "A-alright, I'll go read it immediately."

After finishing, she was about to take the script and go out.

But Liu Tong said: "Read it here. It's warm here. If you have any questions, we can communicate at any time, and the screenwriters are also here."

Wang Ziyu hesitated for a moment, but thought there was no problem, so she said thank you and sat down on a chair nearby to open the script and read it.

Liu Tong and the others sat on the sofa around the small table and drank tea.

"Teacher..." Wang Ziyu raised her head after reading for only a while, looking at Liu Tong with a puzzled face: "This script... is it wrong?"

"It's definitely different from your previous script. Didn't I say that some places have been slightly modified? You just need to remember it according to this script."

Wang Ziyu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She remembered the original script very clearly. She had a total of forty-six lines for today's early scene.

But in the script in her hand now, there were only seven lines left.

Is this slightly modified?

She didn't need to specifically remember it at all; she knew the forty-six lines by heart, and she knew the remaining seven by rote! ===== CHAPTER 742 =====
