"Come on, you're so nagging!" Wen Minhao shook off Jiang Ruanqing's touch. In a foul mood, he took out his anger on the surrounding furniture. Kicking with his feet and swearing, he went upstairs.
Looking at the messy coffee table, Jiang Ruanqing told the servants to clean it up.
...
The tents at the shooting site had been set up. The stage - setting staff were methodically arranging the background decorations that would be used later.
Wen Sining rushed to the shooting site before 9 o'clock.
"Did you run all the way here?" Qiao Xi, holding a walkie - talkie, followed Wen Sining.
There was still a short distance after getting off the taxi. Outsiders were not allowed to get close to avoid the leakage of internal photos of the shooting site.
Wen Sining took the work ID card that Qiao Xi handed her, put it around her neck, and then put on the vest that distinguished her identity.
"Is she here?" Wen Sining asked.
The preparatory work was almost done. After one more check, they could start shooting if everything was in order.
Qiao Xi glanced at the RV in front of the tent. "She arrived ten minutes earlier than you. She's getting ready now."
"Is the makeup artist doing her makeup?"
"No."
Hearing this, Wen Sining couldn't continue looking at the materials in her hand.
"What's going on? There's still half an hour until the shooting. What is she doing?"
Qiao Xi was also at a loss. Mainly because after Yun Chutong arrived at the shooting site, she didn't even get out of the RV. Her assistant, Xiaolan, just came to inform them.
Seeing that Qiao Xi was also helpless, Wen Sining handed the things in her hand to Qiao Xi.
Walking up to the RV, Wen Sining gently knocked on the door.
"Miss Wen." Sister Fang walked down.
The door opened just a crack. As soon as the person came out, it was closed. Wen Sining didn't even get a clear look at what was going on inside.
"Is Teacher Amanda ready? Our shooting time is coming up soon. I heard she hasn't started her makeup yet." Wen Sining asked considerately. "If the tent is not convenient, I can arrange for the makeup artist to go inside the RV."
Sister Fang smiled at her throughout and replied politely, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Wen. We've brought our own makeup artist, so we don't need yours."
Bring their own makeup artist?
Wen Sining was surprised. Then she felt that things were deviating greatly from the plan.
Their makeup artists had received pre - training and were familiar with the makeup required for this shooting. Suddenly changing to a different makeup artist would obviously lead to deviations in the makeup.
Wen Sining stood on tiptoe and looked towards the window of the RV.
"Miss Wen, you can go and get busy. We'll be on time for the shooting after we're done." Sister Fang said.
Wen Sining shifted her feet on the spot but still voiced her concern. "Can I take a look at the makeup Teacher Amanda is wearing now?"
Sister Fang had already walked to the door. "You're over - worrying, Miss Wen. Our makeup artist is top - notch. There won't be any problems."
Just as Wen Sining was about to discuss it further, Yun Chutong inside urged Sister Fang to go back.
The door opened and closed in front of her. Wen Sining was left alone in the empty surroundings.
Forget it. I'll take a look when she comes out.
Back in the tent, Qiao Xi handed her an iced Americano. Taking a sip, Wen Sining put the cup on the table.
"She doesn't listen to you either?"
"Are big - name stars all so difficult to deal with?"
Qiao Xi walked over to her with a smile. "I don't know about others, but this project is definitely more difficult than usual."
No matter how big - name a star is, they wouldn't dare to easily get into a conflict with them. But Yun Chutong was different. She had Lu Luochen backing her up.
Compared with the Lu Corporation, Moxin Group was like a little bird flying under the sky while the Lu Corporation was the sky itself.
Wen Sining rubbed her temples and sighed helplessly.
Half an hour later, the outdoor scene was set up. A subordinate came to inform Wen Sining.
"Is Amanda ready?" Qiao Xi asked.
The subordinate was stunned for a few seconds and then shook his head. "She seems to still be in the RV."
"I see. Go and inform her now." Wen Sining stood up from the chair and looked back at Qiao Xi. "You go and check on the photographer."
After all the preparatory work was in place, everyone got busy.
The staff member who was sent to call Yun Chutong nervously walked to the door of the RV. After shouting several times, there was no response from inside.
Qiao Xi was talking to the photographer. From afar, she saw her colleague standing alone in the sun facing the RV.
"You check again. I'll go and see him."
The photographer nodded and lowered his head to adjust the parameters of the camera in his hand.
"Sister Qiao, there's no response from inside." Xiao Wang said dejectedly, seeking help.
Qiao Xi sympathetically patted him on the shoulder, took a deep breath, and approached the door.
Knock, knock.
Knocking politely twice, she looked back at Xiao Wang, who was looking at her expectantly, and said, "Teacher Amanda, are you ready?"
The door opened from the inside. Yun Chutong, wearing a white long dress and heavy makeup, appeared in front of everyone.
This...
Qiao Xi opened her mouth, but some words got stuck in her throat and couldn't come out.
"Miss Qiao, we're ready. We can start shooting." Sister Fang said.
Yun Chutong arrogantly walked past Qiao Xi. Xiaolan, holding an umbrella, followed her all the way.
Arriving at the shooting studio, Yun Chutong leisurely sat on the lounge chair. She took off her sunglasses and glanced at the scene under the big sun.
"Outdoor shooting?"
Hearing the voice, the photographer turned around and saw Yun Chutong behind him. "Yes. If you're ready, Teacher Amanda, we can start shooting now."
"Wait a while." Yun Chutong put on her sunglasses again.
People on the periphery couldn't see her eyes, and no one dared to show dissatisfaction with what she was doing.
After Wen Sining finished her work at the back, she came to the front and found that everyone was standing bored at their work stations.
Hasn't she come out yet?
Looking at the RV, Wen Sining saw Xiaolan and Sister Fang in the crowd. Her gaze shifted to the studio and landed on the lounge chair.
"Teacher Amanda."
Yun Chutong looked up at Wen Sining.
The photographer beside them voluntarily made way for Wen Sining. The others watched them eagerly.
"Everyone is ready. Do you think we can start shooting?"
Yun Chutong lowered her head. Her phone in her arms rang.
When she stood up, Wen Sining saw the note on her screen.
Could it be that he's coming?
Everyone, including those around her, looked at Yun Chutong, who was smiling.
"What's going on? Can we shoot normally today?" Qiao Xi came to Wen Sining's side.
Since this morning, her right eyelid had been twitching non - stop. If she was so uncooperative even before the shooting started, could they complete the one - month shooting schedule normally?
Now that she thought about it, they shouldn't have signed Yun Chutong in the first place.
"Let's see how things go later." Wen Sining's heart began to waver.
If Lu Luochen came frequently during the shooting, how could she remove the scar on her face later?
