Chapter 428 - We Will Deal With Them Later.
Cai Bao left the studio leaving her assistant behind to work. Xu Lan smiled bitterly and said to Lily, " You wait for a minute. I will send Yuan Lei here."
Xu Lan has made Yuan Lei sit in the waiting room while she talks to Cai Bao. She was worried that Yuan Lei might say something that would anger Cai Bao. She can't bear to anger her at this moment.
She has heard from people that Cai Bao is a woman of her word and was known for her punctuality. She hates people who are late moreover, she is really good at designing historical theme costumes.
If Cai Bao denies working with them, then it will be difficult for her to arrange everything from the start.
Even though they have a business contract, she knows her temper very well. However, Cai Bao has paid canceled contracts before with other companies as well because she cannot bear people with lousy work ethics.
And it suits her status very well. After all, she is not an ordinary designer. She has a big name in the industry after all.
" Xie Ming, Ahmm..actually we only have this vanity room. So you need to share it with Yuan Lei. I hope you don't mind."
She tried to arrange different vanity rooms for them but there are only a few vanity rooms for actors. Even Wu Sheng and Jian Yan had to share their vanity room as well.
Xie Ming pursed her lips but nodded anyway. Even though she doesn't like Yuan Lei, she doesn't mind being in the same room. After all, she has grown a thick skin after staying in the palace for a long time.
' I don't know if it is a thing to boast about.'
….
" Yuan Lei hurry up and follow me. You have only an hour to check your clothes." Xu Lan hurriedly went to bring Yuan Lei to the vanity room.
Yuan Lei who was sitting on the chair looked up at Xu Lan and followed her while shrugging her shoulders.
When they entered the vanity room, she furrowed her brows seeing Xie Ming standing there.
Xie Ming looked at Yuan Lei and smiled. She didn't greet her like before because she knows that Yuan Lei won't accept her greeting anyway. So she didn't bother to do it.
Yuan Lei frowned seeing Xie Ming smiling at her without saying anything.
She gritted her teeth and turned her head away.
" Yuan Lei, this is Ms. Cai Bao's assistant Lily. She will check your costume fitting. You can try these costumes and tell her if there is any problem." Xu Lan pointed at the hanger full of clothes which were of Yuan Lei.
Yuan Lei furrowed her brows when she heard that Lily is only the assistant of Cai Bao. She has heard the name of famous designer Cai Bao, that's why she wanted to attend this costume fitting.
However, she had attended a party with her boyfriend and drank so much that she didn't get up on time. And truthfully she wasn't bothered about being late.
After all, she is the main lead of the movie. It's okay for her to be late.
...
Yuan Lei's smile disappeared as she saw the clothes. Many of those clothes were of white plain color and were very simple.
" Why are these clothes so plain? " Yuan Lei turned to Lily and questioned.
Lily frowned when she heard Yuan Lei's interrogative tone. However, she took a deep breath and replied calmly, " These clothes are according to your role description. You're playing the role of a common girl from a low background. So these costumes are according to that description."
" The costumes at the end are for the one when you will enter the Palace as the Consort of the Emperor. " Lily calmly explained the difference in clothes.
Yuan Lei pursed her lips but didn't say anything. However, she really didn't like those ugly clothes. It was her first time working in a historical theme movie, so she couldn't possibly make a fuss about it.
" These are so ugly. Do they have to be so plain? Can't they have different colours at least?" Yuan Lei felt her head hurting seeing the clothes.
" Ms. Yuan, I will relay your message to Ms. Cai Bao. But I don't think it will make any difference because these clothes are made after considering your role. "
She gritted her teeth and asked Lily, "By the way, where is designer Cai Bao? I am the female lead of the movie, shouldn't she check the costume fitting herself? How come she left her assistant behind to work? I didn't know she is so lousy when it comes to her work." she scoffed as she felt annoyed that she left an assistant to check her fitting.
Lily frowned but before she could say anything, Xu Lan said," Yuan Lei. " Xu Lan's eyes were dark and gloomy as she glared at Yuan Lei.
She felt so annoyed that she really wanted to throw her out of this movie. But she is not the one to take the call.
They haven't even started shooting yet and she was treating the staff as if she is the Empress here.
' She is not even the Empress in the movie so why is she behaving so arrogantly?'
Xie Ming, who was sitting on a chair while drinking her coffee, didn't bother to join them in their conversation.
Since Song Xiner has gone to make some calls, she sat there calmly drinking her coffee and browsing on her phone.
" Yuan Lei, Ms. Cai Bao was here for the costume fitting but you came two hours late. She had the event in the afternoon so she left on her designated time. Since you came late, she had left her assistant behind to check your fitting. So please change your clothes and get done with it. After the shoot ends, we need to talk. " Xu Lan looked at Yuan Lei with her darkened expressions.
Yuan Lei frowned when she heard Xu Lan's words.
" Then she got her costumes checked by Ms Cai Bao herself? " Yuan Lei pointed at Xie Ming as she asked Xu Lan a question.
She hated the fact that Xie Ming got her costumes checked by the designer Cai Bao herself.
Xie Ming paused in her actions when she heard her name. She turned around to see Yuan Lei pointing at her and looking at her with disgust.
' Was it me who was late?' Xie Ming felt unbelievable seeing the shamelessness of Yuan Lei. She didn't say anything and shifted her focus back to her phone.
" Yuan Lei, she got her costumes checked by Cai Bao because she was on time. But you missed the chance because you were late. So please don't waste others time anymore and check your costumes." Xu Lan rubbed her temple annoyedly as she urged Yuan Lei to check her clothes.
" I won't do it. I am the female lead of the movie, how can an assistant check the costumes for me? "
" You… Yuan Lei, please don't test my patience. We don't have time for all these things. Just check your costumes and be done with it. We can talk about these things later. "
Yuan Lei's manager accompanied her today and was standing behind her watching everything.
When she saw Xu Lan's polite yet annoyed tone, she patted Yuan Lei's arm and leaned to her ear and said in a low voice," Yuan Lei, it's us who are at fault today. Don't argue about it. We will deal with them later."
