Shi Xi had just been changed into a new role. If she went out shopping without any makeup and was photographed, it was inevitable that she would be said to have lost her resources and become pale.
The more it was at this moment, the more energetic and full of vitality she needed to be!
Shi Xi’s eyes lit up. Her spirit, which had been dispirited by the whole crab feast that she had missed out on, instantly had a fighting spirit.
She had to put on beautiful makeup!
While Shi Xi was full of fighting spirit, Nan Wan was not having an easy time.
Nan Wan’s manager had collected Director Yan’s preferences and requirements, and told Nan Wan to be obedient and not to contradict him.
Although they were leading a funding team, Director Yan was very talented. If she could act the role of the second female lead according to Director Yan’s requirements, Nan Wan’s manager believed that Nan Wan would definitely be popular when the show aired.
Thinking that she could beat Shi Xi in the future, Nan Wan endured it.
At this moment, Nan Wan had already dyed her hair back to black at Director Yan’s request. She handed her makeup to the makeup artist and memorized her lines seriously, preparing for a new day of filming.
The first thing they had to do was reshoot Nan Wan’s makeup photos.
They were clearly the same set of clothes, but Shi Xi wore them elegantly. Nan Wan looked very out of place when she wore them.
Nan Wan had studied dance before, so her figure and shape were not bad. Although her appearance was not as good as Shi Xi’s, Nan Wan could still be considered a little beauty in the entertainment industry.
Her hair was dyed black, and she did not wear false eyelashes. What was wrong with her?
Director Yan stared at the camera for a long time before finally patting his forehead.
How could he have forgotten?!
Other than these external changes, there were also the eyebrows of the actresses!
Director Yan said, “Make-up artist, fix Nan Wan’s eyebrows again.”
The make-up artist whispered to Director Yan, “Director Yan, Nan Wan’s eyebrows are tattooed. There’s no way to fix them.”
Nowadays, the female celebrities in the entertainment industry were influenced by the aesthetics of foreign countries. They liked to draw their eyebrows into one-line brows. Some people would directly tattoo their eyebrows for convenience.
But this way, it was difficult to change their make-up.
As for Nan Wan, she had her eyebrows tattooed. It was much more convenient for her to put on makeup normally.
However, it was not possible for her to act in an ancient costume drama.
“Can’t you cover it up?” Director Yan frowned.
The makeup artist said, “The makeup will feel heavy, and you can still see it in close-up.”
Thinking of the investment of 50 million, Director Yan forcefully suppressed his temper.
‘If you are angry, there will be no one to replace you if you get sick from anger.’
‘In front of your eyes, it is not an actress who was stuffed into the group, but 50 million yuan.’
‘Think about how many exquisite props you can buy with this 50 million yuan, how many excellent actors you can hire, and how many good screenwriters you could find to polish your script.’
“Try your best to suppress it.” Director Yan took a deep breath and endured this grievance.
Director Yan was extremely strict with the makeup of ancient costumes. The makeup artist of the crew would trim the eyebrows of the actress very fine and draw curved willow-leaf eyebrows.
However, Nan Wan’s eyebrows were tattooed, so there was no way to trim them.
In the end, the makeup artist used concealer to cover the tattooed eyebrows and repainted them.
After a long struggle, the makeup photo was finally taken.
Next, it was time to reshoot the content of the promotional video.
[Tang Xi walks in the rain, holding an umbrella and looking back.]
This simple look was a clip of Shi Xi becoming a god, and it was widely circulated on all the major video websites.
Nan Wan had naturally seen this clip before, so she secretly swore in her heart that she would do better than Shi Xi!
However, just because she thought well in her heart, it did not mean that Nan Wan could do it well.
Nan Wan held an oil paper umbrella as she walked on the flagstones.
After hearing Director Yan’s voice, Nan Wan slowly turned around and smiled at the camera.
“Don’t smile so deliberately. Smile more naturally. All departments, get ready. Let’s do it again.”
