Chapter 433 - This Fake Is Very Real.
Yuan Lei felt humiliated by everyone staring at her. She clenched her fists in anger and in nervousness.
" Director Han." After a few minutes Shi Ya came out hurriedly when someone went inside to call her out.
She was shocked to see the Director standing there because she was not expecting him to appear at the studio.
" Shi Ya, you have been in the industry for so long, yet you don't even know how to do makeup for an artist. How did you do Yuan Lei's makeup and hair? Does it suit her role at all?" he roared at her thinking that it was only a photoshoot and things are so chaotic already.
" From which angle she looks like a rural maiden? I did not expect this from you. How could you be so careless with your work? "
" Director Han… It wasn't me… " Shi Ya was terrified hearing Director Han's yelling.
Before she could tell him that it was Yuan Lei herself who told her to do her makeup this way, Yuan Lei interrupted her.
" Director Han, please don't get angry at Shi Ya. She didn't do it purposely. She must have misunderstood my character and did my makeup this way."
"Please don't be angry at her. From next time, I will take care of things and see if they are doing their work right. If you don't mind, give us a minute to fix my makeup ".
Yuan Lei knows if Shi Ya told everyone that it was her who instructed her to do this makeup and hair, then she will have to bear the wrath of Director Han.
That's why she didn't let Shi Ya complete her words and apologized in her place hurriedly.
Shi Ya was petrified hearing Yuan Lei's claims.
She didn't understand the character? She clearly understood the character but it was Yuan Lei who insisted on having such a look.
Shi Ya was speechless seeing Yuan Lei openly putting the blame on her. She was doing her work but it was Yuan Lei who kept pestering her to do it this way.
Xu Lan frowned when she saw Yuan Lei's drama and Shi Ya's puzzled expressions. She understood the situation because she knows that Yuan Lei is not that kind person to apologize in place of someone else.
" Go go away. But be quick. We don't have much time." Director Han waved his hand in distress.
He wanted everything to go smoothly but seeing the start, he was worried about the whole shooting process.
Yuan Lei smiled bitterly as she dashed away and went to the vanity dragging Shi Ya with her. She can't possibly let her stay there alone.
Xu Lan frowned seeing this scenario. She wanted to stop Shi Ya but they don't have much time in their hands.
The photographer who was appointed for this photoshoot is a famous photographer and he was just about to reach the studio.
Before he comes, they need to prepare everything in advance. Yet their artists are not even ready yet.
" Where is Xie Ming? Why didn't she get ready yet?" Director Han asked when he didn't see Xie Ming around.
Xie Ming is the second female lead. Seeing Yuan Lei's condition, he needs to check everyone's look himself so that there won't be any problem at the last moment.
Except for Xie Ming, everyone else was present there and was fitting their role.
But why was Xie Ming not here yet?
Xu Lan got more nervous because she doesn't know either if Xie Ming is ready yet or not. She looked at Han Lei to ask about the update.
" Ahmm.. Sister Xie Ming is getting ready." Han Lei said meekly when Xu Lan looked at her.
Director Han's expressions darkened hearing her words. " She is still getting ready? Everyone is ready but she is still getting ready." he raised his voice when he felt his head bursting in anger.
"What were you guys doing by now? Why is everyone not ready yet? " Director Han looked at Xu Lan angrily.
He couldn't believe that they are taking so much time getting ready for a photoshoot. If this attitude continues then he doesn't know what will happen during the shooting.
Xu Lan pursed her lips and said," Director Han, it's not Xie Ming's fault. The thing is…" Xu Lan wanted to explain to him the situation where Yuan Lei made a fuss about doing the makeup first.
Despite knowing that Xie Ming's look is quite difficult and she needs more time, Yuan Lei insisted on getting her makeup done first.
But before she could complete her words, Director Han's attention shifted in front seeing the figure striding? towards him.
Director Han gaped in shock seeing Xie Ming coming towards him from her vanity room.
Xu Lan turned around and followed Director Han's gaze and was shocked to see Xie Ming who was clad in a royal red outfit.
Her hair was done in a complicated yet beautiful updo. She was wearing her heavy accessories which suited her perfectly and was looking like a true royalty.
What attracted everyone's attention was the way she walked in her dress. Her both hands were in front over her abdomen clasped together as she was walking elegantly.
She didn't even need to hold her dress to walk like other actresses. Since the outfits are too long, they need to hold the dresses to walk without falling down.
However, she was walking in the dress with light steps. It seems very easy for her walking in this dress.
Moreover, her expressions were controlled and elegant. She looks like a real Empress with her appearance and actions as well.
Xu Lan was shocked because she has seen her trying other costumes but now she was fully dressed up, she looked more beautiful and elegant.
Director Han's expressions changed seeing Xie Ming's overall look. His anger dissipated seeing her dressed up like this.
He walked towards her hurriedly and asked, "Xie Ming, who did your makeup? You look so beautiful. I never saw someone look as beautiful as you in a historical outfit."
Director Han's eyes were literally shining seeing Xie Ming. He wanted to give a bonus to the makeup artist who did her make-up.
He wanted to hire that makeup artist permanently. He does not want to lose such a talent. Because her hair style was very different yet beautiful.
Her look was perfect. She was wearing very mild makeup. And her hairstyle was very authentic and was very popular in ancient paintings which make her look more beautiful.
He has seen this kind of updo for the first time in real life. It makes her look beautiful and powerful. The key point in her look was her hairpin.
The golden hairpin has the red color jade stone attached to its end and has a beautiful carving on it. It looked royal and beautiful.
He turned to look at Xu Lan and asked, " Xu Lan, from where this hairpin comes from? I mean which designer has made this hairpin? It looks very real." director Han was stunned because the accessories they use for costumes are all cheap and fake.
They were made of cheap material for the shooting. They were not real. But this hairpin looked like a real jade hairpin.
This fake is very real.
Xu Lan was perplexed as well. She looked at Xie Ming in confusion. She hasn't seen this hairpin before.
She has checked all the accessories and costumes for everyone and she mostly remembers all the items and their? sources very well. But for some reason she can't recognize this hairpin.
" Ahmm. Director Han, I don't know who made this hairpin because I don't think it is provided by us." Xu Lan was puzzled and doesn't know what to say in response.
" Hmm? Not provided by us? What do you mean by this? If it is not provided by us then where does this hairpin come from?" Director Han was confused after hearing Xu Lan's words.
Xu Lan bit her lower lip as she had no idea about it as well.
" I have no idea about it. " Xu Lan said while staring at Xie Ming with a puzzled look.
