"How long will it take?"
Lu Luochen's appearance had made everyone feel complicated and tense. As soon as he opened his mouth, those around him were even more out of sorts.
After a long silence, someone finally replied to him.
"If everything goes smoothly, it won't end until this afternoon."
Following the voice, Lu Luochen turned to look at Wen Sining beside him.
She looked calm, and there was no trace of her inner thoughts on her face.
Those standing behind held their breath. They could hardly believe the harmonious atmosphere between the two.
In the dressing room next door, as soon as Yun Chutong entered, she started throwing a tantrum.
The makeup artist had heard that Yun Chutong was extremely difficult to deal with, so she was extra careful while working, fearing that she might anger the actress and lose her job.
"Ms. Amanda, please take a seat on the chair." The makeup artist stood softly behind Yun Chutong. Her voice trembled as she spoke.
Sister Fang beside her took Yun Chutong's arm and guided her to sit on the chair.
"You may leave first. We need to have a private conversation."
The makeup artist was persuaded to leave by Sister Fang.
Xiaolan checked that there was really no one outside who could overhear them, then she raised her hand to signal Sister Fang.
"Amanda, you must control your temper today. Just think about who's sitting outside. If President Lu sees you being so domineering, will he still side with you?"
"Yeah, President Lu obviously likes your gentle side. Actually, it's not just President Lu. All men are like that. Once a woman acts coquettishly, they'll be like jelly in her hands."
Xiaolan echoed Sister Fang's words. The two of them tried their best to persuade Yun Chutong to be patient.
The company didn't have the power to cover up everything, but the Lu Group did. As long as Yun Chutong always behaved in the way Lu Luochen liked, if she shed a few tears, Lu Luochen would surely help her.
Sister Fang walked behind Yun Chutong and placed her hand on her shoulder. "Be a good girl. After this project is completed, you'll reach a new height. The company has also promised that as soon as the shooting is over, you'll be sent to a film crew."
In the future, there would be more and more opportunities for her to shoot magazines, advertisements, TV dramas, movies, etc. There would be so many that she wouldn't even have time to accept them all.
Yun Chutong pushed away Sister Fang's hand on her shoulder and snorted at her. "Alright, I got it."
Hearing her promise, Sister Fang was finally relieved and asked Xiaolan to call back the makeup artist waiting outside.
Since she was willing to cooperate, the time for makeup was greatly reduced.
When Yun Chutong came out again, everyone on the set was amazed. Among them was Lu Luochen, whose admiring gaze was cast upon her.
The reason why Wen Sining had spent a fortune to invite Yun Chutong as the spokesperson for this project was mainly because of her appearance.
Yun Chutong had a beautiful face. Her features were well - defined but not overbearing. With a pure makeup look, she was like a fairy descending from the sky.
Wen Sining stood up and walked to the photographer. She gave him a few instructions, then turned on the megaphone in front of her collar.
"All departments, attention! The shooting will start in three minutes."
Wen Sining's voice echoed on the set. Yun Chutong looked up at the tent unhappily.
"Shoot well. President Lu is watching you." Before leaving, Sister Fang couldn't help but remind her again.
She knew Yun Chutong's temper very well. Whenever she was unhappy during the shooting, she would lose her temper without any hesitation.
It had been like this since she debuted. Over the years, protected by Lu Luochen, she had become even more willful and didn't care about the terms in the contract at all.
Although everyone disliked her unprofessionalism, she was very popular. Part of her popularity came from Lu Luochen. As long as she participated in a project, the other party didn't need to spend a lot of money to buy popularity.
The shooting began. Wen Sining sat in front of the monitor with the megaphone in her hand.
The assistant director of the crew should have been sitting beside her, but after Lu Luochen took his seat, he never came back.
The monitor was so small that if one wanted to see clearly, they had to get closer.
From the front, it seemed as if Wen Sining's head was touching Lu Luochen's. The two of them sat there quietly, looking quite well - matched.
"Stop!"
At Wen Sining's order, she stood up from her chair.
She walked up to Yun Chutong, told the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, and then picked up their concept book.
"Ms. Amanda, you need to pay attention to your expression. Our product is designed for girls who have just entered society. So their faces should show a sense of greenness and anticipation for entering the society. You can also imagine that you have little social experience but want to dress up as a capable professional woman."
Listening to Wen Sining's explanation, Yun Chutong looked completely unconcerned. She rolled her eyes. Although she seemed to be cooperating with the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, in fact, she was cursing Wen Sining in her heart.
Wen Sining stopped after making her point. Seeing that the makeup was done, she returned to her seat and the shooting restarted.
As the shooting progressed, Wen Sining frowned again.
What she had just said seemed to have no effect at all. Yun Chutong still behaved the same way. Looking at the expression on the monitor, which was even worse than the first time, Wen Sining grabbed the megaphone in front of her in frustration.
Lu Luochen sensed her anxiety and turned his gaze to her face.
This scene happened to fall into Yun Chutong's sight. Her fingers, which were holding the product for shooting, tightened until the joints turned white.
"Stop!"
Anger flashed across Wen Sining's eyebrows.
She stood in front of the monitor. After a moment of silence, she said, "Take a five - minute break."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Chutong immediately threw the shooting product on the table. She trotted up to Lu Luochen and slipped her hand into his.
"Luochen." Yun Chutong called out sweetly.
Lu Luochen shifted his attention back to her. "Tired?"
"No, I'm just out of sorts. I've made Ms. Wen angry again." After saying that, Yun Chutong looked at Wen Sining's back with a self - reproachful look.
Everyone had heard the tone in Wen Sining's voice just now. Saying that she wasn't angry would be a blatant lie.
"Adjust yourself well." Lu Luochen comforted her.
Yun Chutong nodded. She voluntarily let go of Lu Luochen's hand and swaggered up to Wen Sining.
"Ms. Wen, I didn't quite understand what you said just now. Could you explain it to me again?"
Since she seemed eager to learn, Wen Sining naturally had no reason not to teach her. She asked someone around her to get the materials, then took Yun Chutong to a chair nearby and sat down.
"Ms. Wen, actually, I don't think your ideas are that good. If we always shoot according to your instructions, won't it be very rigid?"
When there was no one around, Yun Chutong looked at Lu Luochen defiantly.
Wen Sining held the materials in her hand and sized up Yun Chutong with a scrutinizing look.
It turned out that her eagerness to learn was just a pretense, and her real intention was to cause trouble.
