392 Leaving the Country Without Makeup
Song Ci liked her character. She was brave and smart.
‘If I play Yu Xiaoyue well, she’ll stand out.’
The next day, Song Ci encountered an unexpected challenge in the dressing room.
“I have to leave the country?”
The assistant director nodded.
Shortly after, the makeup artists said, “By the way, Yu Xiaoyue’s character is a bit wild. Her personality doesn’t really change throughout the film either. Hence, I’ll not put too much makeup on you. Besides, you look fresh and clean. I don’t think it’ll be an issue. Are you comfortable with this arrangement?”
Song Ci had no objections.
“Sure.”
“Really?”
The makeup artist was surprised.
“Song Ci’s skin is in good condition. She’ll be fine.”
The assistant director had a lot of faith.
Since there was no problem, the makeup artist continued to comb Song Ci’s hair.
“Okay. Song Ci, you’ll be able to get more rest since you don’t need to spend that much time in the dressing room.”
“That’s good to hear.”
The makeup artist thought to herself, ‘She’s an actress, but she doesn’t mind not having makeup on. How rare.’
After Song Ci was done with her preparations, the assistant director brought her to the set.
Director Liang was talking to Chen Fuxing, the actor who played Yu Ning. When the former saw his assistant and Song Ci, he introduced her to Chen Fuxing.
“This is Song Ci. She’ll be acting as Yu Xiaoyue.’
Song Ci smiled and saluted, “Hello, Chief Yu.”
There was a scene in the drama where Yu Xiaoyue visited Yu Ning at the police station. She deliberately went up to him and saluted cheekily, “Hello, Chief Yu.”
Yu Ning felt helpless. He just knocked her head and said, “Work hard.”
Therefore, Chen Fuxing did the same. He knocked on Song Ci’s head and said, “Work hard.”
Song Ci smiled.
Yang Haoran did not read the script carefully because he lacked time. Thus, he was confused by Chen Fuxing’s response.
‘Do they know each other? Is he another Fu Wenze?’
Yang Haoran’s heart suddenly began to beat rapidly. He stared at Chen Fuxing.
Song Ci noticed Yang Haoran’s reaction and thought to herself, ‘He has totally misunderstood the situation and is overthinking!’
On the other hand, Director Liang and his assistant laughed at their interaction.
Director Liang said to Chen Fuxing, “There’s a scene coming up that involves you two. Go and read through your lines.”
Then, he looked at Song Ci and continued, “Song Ci, feel free to ask me if you have any questions. Don’t be shy. We’re all here to help each other.”
“Alright.”
After saying that, Song Ci picked up her script and left with Chen Fuxing.
Without a doubt, Chen Fuxing was a veteran actor. His acting skills proved it. Despite his serious appearance, he had a very gentle temper. It suited his current role.
“Little Song, have you finished reading the script?”
“Yes.”
Song Ci nodded.
“Do you have any questions?”
For now, no.”
Song Ci shook her head.
“I see. We’re supposed to be father and daughter, so we’ll have a lot of scenes together. If you’re confused about anything, come to me. I have a daughter who’s only a few years younger than you, so I know how to communicate with people around your age.”
Chen Fuxing did not want any delay in the filming process.
