Gleaming Crystal frowned.
Why such a strong reaction?
As she walked, she typed out a couple more messages in response.
[Gleaming Crystal]: What’s with the shock? Isn’t it common knowledge that these idol actors lack acting skills? Surely, you’re not unaware that Lin Wansu is dubbed “Miss Digit,” are you?
[Gleaming Crystal]: If Lin Wansu is like that, let alone Si Fuqing. At least Lin Wansu had a coach hired by her team, but Si Fuqing doesn’t. Isn’t it normal for me to do voiceovers for her?
Although still responsible for voiceover work, she was already half-stepping into the entertainment industry.
Indeed, the entertainment sector was a lucrative field.
In just two years, she had earned more than ten times what she used to make from voiceovers.
However, Gleaming Crystal regretted that she had declined to help when Homeward Deer unexpectedly needed it last time.
Who would have thought it would have been to support Xie Yu’s team?
Had she appeared on the stage of “Youth With You,” her career would have undoubtedly outshone Serene Delight and Upon Brocade.
Such a golden opportunity to break into the industry was laid before Serene Delight and Upon Brocade, yet they didn’t cherish it at all.
[Mighty Dark]: …Very normal, couldn’t be more normal, doing voiceovers for Si Fuqing, very normal.
[Serene Delight]: Nothing more to say, just wishing you good luck and smooth work.
Upon Brocade, always sparing with words, sent just a period.
The Director couldn’t even be bothered to reply.
Gleaming Crystal scoffed at Serene Delight’s reply.
What’s with the sarcasm?
Of course, her work would go smoothly.
Arriving on set, Si Fuqing had not yet appeared.
“Teacher Gleaming Crystal,” the director nodded at her, “Thank you for coming to do voiceovers today. You’re familiar with this part, right?”
“Very familiar, it’s my job,” Gleaming Crystal smiled, then casually asked, “Has Teacher Si not arrived yet?”
Referring to each other as “teacher” in the entertainment circle was just a polite formality; she certainly didn’t consider Si Fuqing an actual teacher.
So what if she was known for her stunning looks? She still needed her help for voiceovers.
“Teacher Si’s makeup is quite important,” the director sighed. “She’s too beautiful; it’s a challenge for the makeup artists.”
As they spoke, voices sounded. “She’s here! She’s here!”
“Teacher Si has arrived!”
The director turned around eagerly, only to be stunned.
It was still the same face, and it was beautiful, but it had become significantly more ordinary.
No longer a sight that dazzled at first glance, but rather one that grew on you.
Yet upon closer inspection, her features hadn’t been altered at all.
The makeup artist had somehow managed to make her look plain.
The director took a while to recover, then heartily clapped the makeup artist on the shoulder, “Impressive, Little Zhou, your makeup skills have really improved.”
Little Zhou coughed awkwardly, “Director, I didn’t do the makeup. Teacher Si brought her own makeup artist.”
“Her own?” The director was surprised. “I thought Teacher Si only brought an assistant?”
Little Zhou nodded, “An all-around assistant, who’s also a makeup artist.”
The director understood.
Indeed, many artists’ assistants wore multiple hats.
Makeup was actually a basic skill.
But the director had never seen an assistant with makeup skills as high as Si Fuqing’s.
He began to contemplate poaching.
“Teacher Si, there are a few shots where you’re in a crowd with no lines,” the director signaled to the photography team. “Let’s shoot those first.”
Si Fuqing adjusted her costume, “No problem.”
The filming went smoother than the director had anticipated.
He had expected to need several takes, but Si Fuqing nailed it in one, her gaze lifting at precisely the angle the director had envisioned.
Moreover, Si Fuqing’s face was perfect for the big screen.
When magnified by the camera, not only were there no flaws, but her features were also perfect.
This was exactly what a movie director needed.
The producer nodded and exhaled a sigh of relief, “The young lady has a certain charm, no wonder the award-winning Teacher Yuan recommended her. With proper grooming, she’ll be a great talent.”
No wonder she caught Tang Haiqiu’s eye.
“Alright, Teacher Si, take a break,” the director clapped his hands, smiling broadly. “In a bit, you’ll be acting with Teacher Tao.”
Si Fuqing hummed in acknowledgment and headed to the resting area.
Yuejian raised an eyebrow, handing her a bottle of water, “Was it that hard? Your palms are sweaty.”
“Hard,” Si Fuqing accepted the water and took a sip, “We’ll need to have a good meal later.”
It was tough for her to hold back.
She had already given one director a heart attack; she didn’t want to scare another.
Overhearing their conversation, Gleaming Crystal’s lips curled up slightly, tinged with a hint of mockery.
Finding scenes without lines difficult, how would she handle dialogue, especially against a leading actress?
