Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Targeting

“Have you eaten breakfast yet, Director Zhang?”

“Yes, yes I have. Hey Liu, now that Xiangwan’s here, you guys can arrange for the makeup first.”

“Miss Su, please sit here.”

Su Xiangwan nodded as she placed the breakfast in her hands on a spare table. She then took the initiative to greet everyone. “Ms. Liu, you and the others should eat something first. I just happened to buy some on the way, and it’s still quite early. It’ll only be a few minutes anyway.”

Ms/ Liu hesitated before nodding. “You’re right, thank you then.”

Su Xiangwan smiled. She had spent a lot of time in her previous life with the film crew, so she knew that these makeup artists actually work very hard.

Actors usually rose early and slept late, it was already a very tiring job.

However, because one makeup artist was responsible for many actors’ looks, they often had to get up even earlier. And since they even had to match the timetables of different actors, it was easy for them to neglect their breakfasts.

“Wow! It’s Long Teng’s prawn dumplings, my favorite!” A makeup artist exclaimed.

“Their Healthy Porridge is also pretty good.”

…

Su Xiangwan began to examine her outfit. After she inquired about it with Ms. Liu, she changed into the necessary outfit for the first scene.

In the entire drama, cheongsams were the most used outfit. However, the first couple of scenes used the western-styled dress for noble daughters during the Republic of China period.

This was because Begonia’s family background was very good at first, but then later fell due to a change. She then ended up in Yongle Gate after she was sexually harassed.

After changing into her outfit, she saw that everyone hadn’t finished eating yet. So, she sat on the side and flipped through the script quietly.

Ten minutes later, Ms. Liu came over and said, “I’ll help you apply some makeup first, Mei will help you do your hair.”

Su Xiangwan closed the script and said warmly, “Sorry for the troubles.”

Ms. Liu and Mei both had a pretty good impression of Su Xiangwan now. They heard some talk about Su Xiangwan’s reputation before she had even joined the crew.

Now, it seems that stuff like rumors couldn’t be trusted.

About half an hour later, the male and female leads, Han Che and Dou Weiwei, came one after the other. Since both of them were classified to be popular actors, both of them had their own separate dressing rooms. As soon as the two appeared, highly experienced stylists and makeup artists came to organize for them.

At this moment, supporting actors and background actors were basically all present. The public dressing rooms were all bustling for quite a while now.

Su Xiangwan lifted her eyes to look around and didn’t see Zhao Xinning.

She couldn’t help but calculate inwardly, unsure whether or not she’ll actually come.

You see, back then, Mu Beiting had straight away given her a minor role. It really was quite embarrassing.

According to Zhao Xinning’s personality, it was already condescending for her to accept a supporting role, let alone a minor role under herself.

Su Xiangwan lowered her eyes, she guessed that Zhao Xinning probably wouldn’t show up. It seemed that their first fight in the drama would have to wait for quite some time.

A few minutes later, there was a series of clamor outside the dressing rooms.

“Be careful, don’t you have eyes?”

The next moment, a woman with heavy makeup while carrying a Chanel pushed through the door.

The woman’s face was quite ideal and gave off a few internet celebrity vibes, making it hard for people to remember her.

But as for her appearance, she appeared to be quite arrogant. The way her nostrils faced the sky was really hard for people to ignore.

“Where are all the makeup artists? Are they dead?”

The woman frowned as she looked around the room. Her eyes eventually fell on Su Xiangwan.

Immediately, she walked towards her, as if deliberately targeting her, and then ordered, “You! Get up, I want to sit here!”

Su Xiangwan, who had her eyes lightly closed the whole time, slowly opened them. Her cold gaze met with the woman in front of her.
