She also said that she applied for the film academy because of Song Nan. But Song Nan didn't remember ever doing any favors for her. So even though she thought Lan Zhen was a good prospect, she refused to take her on. Although she had been betrayed and almost left the industry, she wasn't so low as to take advantage of a little girl's feelings.
But Lan Zhen was dead - set on her. Song Nan asked when she had saved Lan Zhen, but Lan Zhen refused to say.
Every time Song Nan drove her away, Lan Zhen would come back. Finally, seeing that Song Nan really wasn't willing, Lan Zhen said to her, "Sister Song, I want to be the best actress in the world. Can you help me?"
When she said this, her eyes sparkled with anticipation for her dream and love for the industry.
Song Nan was touched. After much thought, she decided to take Lan Zhen on and help her find the real benefactor who had helped her.
Although Lan Zhen always claimed that Song Nan was her benefactor, without Lan Zhen's cooperation, Song Nan had no way of finding out who the real person was. So she had to put this matter aside for the time being.
Lan Zhen was indeed a good actress. She was very talented, good - looking, and her character was cautious and modest. She became an instant hit when she debuted and had a smooth - sailing career.
Song Nan also rode on Lan Zhen's success and became the best agent in the industry. She had thought that the two of them could keep this close and harmonious cooperation going.
Until a year ago, Lan Zhen changed.
She suddenly became very slow to react. She seemed wooden and dull. Whatever Song Nan said to her, it would take her several seconds to respond. Song Nan secretly took her to see a doctor, but the doctor said there was nothing wrong and just prescribed some tranquilizing medicine.
A few months ago, Lan Zhen finally seemed normal again, but her memory was in a mess. Song Nan took her to see a doctor again, but the doctor still couldn't figure out what was wrong. Fortunately, Lan Zhen gradually returned to normal. Although her memory was still chaotic, it was much better than a year ago. But who would have thought that she would start acting like a diva!
Disrespecting others was a common occurrence. More often, she would ignore others or just rudely walk away while in the middle of a conversation. There were many such behaviors.
Song Nan tried to correct her several times, but Lan Zhen wouldn't listen. She finally realized that Lan Zhen had changed. She was no longer the Lan Zhen who had fought for her gratitude and her dream. And the words "Mr. Huo" that Lan Zhen had shouted when Song Nan woke her up just now made Song Nan's heart go cold.
It turned out that she had secretly hooked up with a sugar daddy behind her back, and Song Nan had been completely in the dark. Lan Zhen was no longer the same. She had been corrupted by this world of fame and fortune.
But relying on external forces rather than one's own strength wouldn't last long. She had talent, looks, and fans. Why did she have to take that shortcut?
Song Nan still didn't want to give up on Lan Zhen. They were comrades - in - arms who had fought together. She didn't want to give up so easily, but she didn't know how to make Lan Zhen return to her former self.
Song Nan was annoyed. Her fingers kept stroking her cigarette case. She wanted to take out a cigarette and smoke, but this was a filming set, and smoking was not allowed.
Less than half an hour later, Lan Zhen opened the door. She said to Song Nan, "Sister Song, where's my phone?"
As soon as she mentioned the phone, Song Nan's face darkened. "Phone? You still want your phone? What, aren't you done causing trouble these days? Do you still want to stir up more trouble?"
"Xiaowen, keep an eye on her. Don't let her run around, and don't let her get in touch with a phone." After giving instructions to Xiaowen, she said to Zhu Shuangyao with a cold face, "It seems that half an hour's rest is too much for you. Since you've had your rest, it's time to get back to work!"
Zhu Shuangyao was caught off - guard and was taken away by Xiaowen. Xiaowen took her to get made up. Along the way, Xiaowen gently advised her, "Sister Lan, Sister Song is doing this for your own good. Throughout your career, when has she ever harmed you? It's all for your own good."
Zhu Shuangyao didn't know what had happened between the two of them, so she just smiled and didn't say anything.
Seeing her reaction, Xiaowen sighed silently in her heart and didn't say anything more.
The makeup artist had been waiting in the dressing room. Fortunately, Lan Zhen had a high enough status and was the last one, so they could arrange half an hour of rest time. But Lan Zhen's diva behavior still put everyone in a bad mood.
But they wouldn't show it on their faces. When Lan Zhen came in, the makeup artist greeted her politely, "Teacher Lan is here."
Zhu Shuangyao nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
Today's shooting theme was "fairy". It was to promote Lan Zhen's new drama.
The makeup artist slightly raised the corners of her eyes with red makeup, making her look charming. She also put on bright lipstick for her.
During the makeup process, the makeup artist was very nervous. She had heard about Lan Zhen's diva reputation. Lan Zhen's most common behavior was to suddenly stand up during makeup and lock herself in the room without saying a word.
The makeup artist never knew what she had done wrong, but she always had to apologize. Only after the makeup artist apologized sincerely would Lan Zhen come out and continue with the makeup.
This makeup artist didn't want to offend the popular Lan Zhen, so every movement was extremely gentle. Strangely enough, Lan Zhen didn't cause any trouble until the makeup was finished.
Xiaowen was also afraid that Lan Zhen would suddenly cause trouble, so she stared at her closely. Zhu Shuangyao originally wanted to borrow a phone from the makeup artist to make a call, but Xiaowen was watching too closely, and she couldn't find a chance.
After the makeup, Xiaowen took her to change clothes. Usually, one should change clothes first and then get made up, but because of Lan Zhen's bad temper, the process had to be changed. Fortunately, today's clothes wouldn't ruin the makeup, or the director would definitely be furious.
It took her a long time to change clothes. But when she came out, everyone was shocked.
Lan Zhen already had a beautiful face. The makeup artist had elongated the corners of her eyes and hooked them upwards with eyeliner, making her eyes immediately charming.
Her long hair was pulled up with a hairpin in the shape of a leaf. She was wearing a long, flowing veil that fluttered gently in the breeze. Although she was supposed to be a fairy, there was a touch of celestial air about her.
What was even more amazing was her eyes. Lan Zhen's makeup overall leaned towards the charming and mature side, but her eyes were as clear as a child's. There was a sense of innocence and curiosity about the world in her eyes. The charming aura collided with the innocent eyes, creating a coquettish charm.
Although she was a fairy, she had the aura of a celestial being. It was simply beautiful.
This was even more brilliant than what the director had expected!
The director made a prompt decision. Taking advantage of Lan Zhen's good mood, he quickly asked her to shoot the magazine pages, in case she suddenly acted like a diva and left.
Zhu Shuangyao knew nothing about shooting for a magazine. Fortunately, she had a strong learning ability. After being scolded by the director a few times, she learned how to shoot. The director was very satisfied with the finished products, so he finally let Zhu Shuangyao go.
Zhu Shuangyao took off her clothes and removed her makeup. Only then did she decide to relax a little. Seeing that Xiaowen wasn't looking at her, she took a deep breath and exhaled. Being a star was really not easy. It was so difficult.
But what she didn't know was that Xiaowen had been secretly watching her expression. When Zhu Shuangyao sighed, Xiaowen's face immediately became solemn.
Song Nan knew that she had finished taking the photos and came to pick her up. Xiaowen stepped forward and whispered something in Song Nan's ear. Song Nan's look at her also became complicated.
