Chapter 426 - You Like Them?
Liwei has planned to drop Xie Ming at the venue first and then go for the office.
Xie Ming asked the driver to stop the car a little far from the Moon Studios. She doesn't want anyone to be spotted by anyone.
Since she has to hide her marriage, she needs to be careful about her appearance as well. Tang Nian has asked her to be discrete about her marriage and careful about her image.
Though no one knows her yet but if rumours spread among the staff, things will blow up in the future.
" After you are done, the driver will come to pick you up. So don't go anywhere alone. Okay?" he took her hand in his as she told her to be careful.
He is still worried about her safety since the last incident. He wanted to get her a bodyguard but she rejected his idea.
So he was still worried about her.
Xie Ming nodded and said, " Don't worry. I will be fine. I won't go anywhere without the driver. Now I am going. Bye." she hurriedly gave him a peck on his cheek as she hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car.
Liwei was stunned but before he could react, Xie Ming had already left. He chuckled seeing her from behind and the way she was running away from him.
" This girl." he shook his head helplessly as he ordered the driver to start driving.
…..
" Xie Ming, you came." When Xie Ming reached in front of the Moon Studios, she found Song Xiner standing there waiting for her.
Xie Ming smiled at her and walked to her, " Yeah. Am I late?" Xie Ming was worried if she was late because Song Xiner was waiting for her outside.
Song Xiner shook her head and said, " No. You're just on time. Only Mo Zan and Han Lei have arrived yet. Other members are yet to arrive."
" Oh."
As they were about to go in, Wu Sheng's car arrived as well.
He got out of the car followed by his assistant, Wu Sheng walked to them and asked, " Did I make you guys wait? " he looked at his watch and asked apologetically.
Xie Ming shook her head and said, " No. I just arrived as well."
" That's good then. Let's go in." Wu Sheng and Xie Ming went inside the studio together.
Xie Ming looked around the studio which was quite large and she could see people walking around with cameras and other equipment in their hands.
She stood there with Wu Sheng and Song Xiner as she tried to adjust to this kind of environment.
As she was looking at the people setting cameras and lights for the photo shoot which is in the afternoon, she heard a cheerful voice from her side.
" You guys arrived?" Xu Lan, who just came from the makeup room after checking the setting, she found Xie Ming and Wu Sheng standing there.
" Xu Lan." Xie Ming smiled when she saw her.
" Is your condition okay?" she was worried about Xie Ming because she was recovering from the accident during the script reading. She was wondering if she was fine or not.
" I am fine. Doing worry." Xie Ming replied with a warm smile.
" It's good then. Now that you guys are here, you should hurry up and check your costumes. Mo Zan and Han Lei are doing that as well." Xu Lan patted Xie Ming's arm as she told them to go to the vanity rooms.
" Okay. By the way, where is everyone? Yuan Lei and Jian Yan are not here yet? " Wu Sheng asked as he looked around and did not find others.
" Ah, Jian Yan will be late as he has to attend some event. But he will be here by the time of the photoshoot. Moreover, we have coordinated with his designer to confirm his costumes so there won't be any problem." she said with a smile.
" And Yuan Lei? She is not coming either? " Song Xiner asked as she looked at Xu Lan curiously.
" I don't know about her. She didn't inform me about anything neither she and her manager aren't picking up my phone. Since Bai Yang left, I have no one else to contact either other than them. " Xu Lan sighed as she said
" She is making me worried as well. " she sighed heavily.
Yuan Lei has forced her assistant to leave the job and now she has not informed her about her arrival. She has no idea if she will attend the shoot or not. Everyone gave her a confirmation about the photoshoot today but she has not got anything like this from Yuan Lei's side.
They have only 2 hours to finish the costume check and after that they have to get their makeup done for the photo shoot.
She was worried if everything would be done on time or not.
Xie Ming didn't show any reaction about Xu Lan's words because it's not her business if Yuan Lei has arrived or not. She just needs to finish her work.
…
After that Xu Lan showed Xie Ming and Wu Sheng their vanity rooms. Xie Ming and Wu Sheng's vanity room were side by side.
When Xie Ming entered her vanity room she was surprised by the bulbs around the large mirror and the room was brightly light.
Her eyes fell on a hanger in the room which was full of different colorful costumes.
She smiled as she walked towards the hanger. She felt a sense of familiarity seeing the clothes as they were based on the ancient theme.
Cai Bao entered the room and saw Xie Ming and others in the room. She was surprised at first but she stood at the door and a smile appeared on her face when she saw Xie Ming's reaction.
Generally, actresses whine about heavy and old fashioned clothes. Though they are according to the historical theme, they ask for many changes in the costumes. She doesn't like those kinds of actresses but she felt pleased seeing her reaction.
.
" You like them?" she asked as she stood behind Xie Ming folding her hands in front of her chest.
" Yes. They are beautiful." Xie Ming turned around to face her when she heard her voice.
" Ms Cai, you are here." Xu Lan was surprised when she saw Cai Bai coming from outside.
" Xie Ming, this is our designer Cai Bao. She has designed the costumes for you and Yuan Lei." Xu Lan introduced both of them.
" And Ms. Cai, this is our second female lead, Xie Ming. Isn't she pretty?" Xu Lan chuckled as she asked Cai Bao.
" Yeah. She is. " Cai Bao smiled lightly while looking at Xie Ming from head to toe.
She was wondering if Xie Ming could pull up the role of Empress or not. Because this role needs someone with charisma, also, these clothes are so heavy.
It will be difficult for her to act in these clothes. She was quite worried about her but she liked this girl since this girl knows how to appreciate someone's hard work.
Xie Ming was happy instead of worried after seeing the heavy costumes.
Xie Ming smiled awkwardly as she felt embarrassed under Cai Bao's gaze.
Cai Bao was a competent and beautiful woman in her early thirties. She is famous in her field for making theme costumes and it was her first time working with Director Han.
" I am glad you like them. The clothes on this hanger is all for you. You can try them and tell me if there is any problem."
Xie Ming nodded as she picked up a dress from the hanger. It's a heavy dress embroidered with golden and silver colored threads and adored with colorful beads.
Though they were not authentic like her clothes in the past, they were still beautiful. A satisfied smile appeared on Xie Ming's face as he looked at the dress.
It's an orange colored dress with a full sleeve upper robe. It's been so long since she has worn these kinds of clothes.
Cai Bao stood there as she saw Xie Ming smiling looking at the costume. She felt pleased by her reaction seeing the heavy dress.
