Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: Outshined by Beauty
Xue Fan saw someone was late, and was about to scold them, but when he saw it was her, his expression softened a bit, and he just urged, "Hurry, hurry, go change your clothes, we’re about to start filming."
Yun Qiluo quickly ran into the makeup room and found Lan Xinxin at the entrance touching up her makeup.
She knew the other didn’t like her, so she couldn’t be bothered to greet her and immediately ran into the makeup room.
Lan Xinxin, however, was looking in the direction Xue Fan had been and said to the makeup artist, "Director Xue really likes her, imagine a small role being late for so long and not getting scolded."
The makeup artist didn’t notice anything wrong and smiled as she replied, "She’s a newcomer, it’s her first day on set, and nobody told her to come early. Ignorance is innocence, and besides, she’s so cute no one can bring themselves to blame her."
Lan Xinxin’s expression changed but in the end, she said nothing.
In this industry, makeup artists and stylists are the ones you absolutely cannot offend, or they’ll find countless ways to mess with you.
She didn’t want her carelessness in speech to cause problems with her makeup in this show and get mocked by the audience.
Luckily, there’s only one scene with Yun Qiluo in the morning, and it’s not as important as yesterday’s. Yun Qiluo only has a few lines.
Lan Xinxin no longer had those absent-minded moments, which let her breathe a sigh of relief and start acting with focus, no longer paying attention to Yun Qiluo.
Besides, she performed particularly well today, perhaps feeling a bit defiant and wanting to prove herself. In any case, after her performance, she heard Xue Fan’s praise,
"Xin’er, your state was quite good today."
Lan Xinxin humbly smiled and walked up to take a look at her performance.
At first, she didn’t notice anything wrong, but as she watched, the smile on her face gradually faded.
It wasn’t because she performed poorly but because... even though she performed very well, on screen, she was clearly not as captivating as another person.
To be honest, Lan Xinxin considered herself not unattractive, otherwise, she wouldn’t have become a female star. However, her face had unfavorable angles, and no matter how good-looking someone is, certain angles and styles won’t suit them, especially when any flaws are magnified on screen.
But she felt her looks should at least put her in the upper-middle tier in the entertainment industry.
However, all this confidence was destroyed by those mere ten minutes of footage.
On screen, Yun Qiluo had only applied lip gloss and eyebrows, nearly bare-faced, dressed in palace maid attire, quietly standing in the corner, neither competing nor vying.
Yet, people were unconsciously drawn to focus their attention on her.
No other reason, she was simply too beautiful, her skin alone was two shades fairer than others, and then there was that face...
Being overshadowed by a supporting role, her biggest fear had finally come true.
Xue Fan saw her expression wasn’t good and asked, "Xin’er, is something wrong?"
Lan Xinxin hadn’t spoken when Xue Fan, thinking she was concerned, pointed to the screen and said with a professional attitude,
"I think you performed very well here, your expression was great, and your emotions were spot-on today, much better than yesterday. You just need to familiarize yourself with the lines a bit more."
Lan Xinxin listened to Xue Fan critique her acting and couldn’t say anything at that moment.
Besides, this scene was indeed quite good, except for Yun Qiluo’s striking appearance, everything else was perfect.
She could only swallow her displeasure and nod in agreement, "I think it’s quite good."
Xue Fan nodded in satisfaction and concluded, "Then we’ll go with this take. Take a break and start preparing for the next scene."
Lan Xinxin nodded, "Okay."
