I am popular in the entertainment circle

Chapter 4 Triggering the branch plot

At five o'clock the next day, Meng Ran got up on time, arrived at the film and television studio at 5:30, and found that the crew was already busy.

She came to the multi-person dressing room and was about to push the door open when she suddenly heard a female voice,

"Don't worry, if she dares to steal your role, I will never make it easy for her."

[Trigger the branch plot, make-up artist Zhang Meili’s disgust, do you want to claim it? 】

Meng Ran looked slightly gloomy.

"Turn on."

[Zhang Meili was born in poverty, and came to the film and television city with the dream of becoming a star. After discovering that she was not beautiful enough, she quickly changed her direction and fawned over the makeup artist of the crew and became his apprentice. It didn’t take long for her to hook up with him and quickly get married.

Got into bed. Note: The makeup artist is married]

Meng Ran's expression was subtle, and the melon-eating system provided not only text descriptions, but also supporting pictures.

[Her dream of becoming a big star has never changed. One time when she returned to her hometown, she found that her eldest brother’s niece was pretty. It happened that the niece also yearned for her aunt’s luxurious life. The two hit it off and came to the Stellar Film and Television City to pursue their dream. However, the host

He stepped in and stole her niece's opportunity, which made Zhang Meili very disgusted. She planned to manipulate the time and makeup to make the host offend Director Qin and be disgusted by the crew]

"Time?"

Meng Ran was thoughtful and did not enter the dressing room. Instead, he walked to the floor attendant and helped her.

The man looked at Meng Ran in surprise.

Meng Ran showed a shy smile unique to newcomers, "I am Meng Ran, who just joined the group yesterday. I play the role of the second female maid Qiu Yue. Director Zhang asked me to arrive at six o'clock. It's still early now, so I'll help you unload your things."

"

"I am Song Qi, the prop. Please help me take this down. Handle it with care."

The other party did not refuse, but his attitude inevitably seemed lukewarm.

Meng Ran was slightly surprised. Song Qi, if I remember correctly, is the deputy leader of the props team. It seems that she has good taste.

"Thank you, Sister Song. Sister Song, please call me Xiao Meng."

Meng Ran said while helping to pick up the props.

After moving for about ten minutes, Meng Ran looked at the tableware and couldn't help but said,

"Sister Song, can I take a photo and post it on WeChat? These are too exquisite. None of the crews I worked for before were so particular."

Song Qi looked coldly at the other person who worked neatly and didn't say much. She had a good impression and said, "Be careful not to photograph the actors or reveal anything about the crew."

Meng Ran smiled gratefully, quickly uploaded a few photos to Moments, edited the text and sent it. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the time displayed, and continued to help Song Qi arrange the venue.

At six o'clock, Meng Ran said embarrassedly,

"Sister Song, it's time for me. I don't know if the makeup artist has arrived. I'll go check."

Song Qi didn't say anything and waved her hand.

Meng Ran put down the props and turned around to go to the multi-person dressing room with the No. 2 sign. He knocked on the door and opened the door when he heard the noise inside. Luo Luo said generously,

"Hello, I am Meng Ran who plays the second female maid Qiu Yue. You are the makeup artist Zhang. Just call me Xiao Meng."

It's as if he doesn't know the other person's resentment towards him.

Zhang Meili also smiled and said enthusiastically,

"I'm, hello, hello, Xiao Meng came very early. I'm sorting out the cosmetics. Please sit down for a while."

Meng Ran found a seat and sat down, took out her mobile phone, and started scrolling through Weibo. Unfortunately, she had eaten so hard in the past that until the second person came, she couldn't find any new ones, so she put it down with a little regret.

I turned on my cell phone and saw that Zhang Meili was already putting makeup on that person.

As expected, Meng Ran thought, and asked,

"Sister Zhang, is there any particular time for putting on makeup? When will it be my turn?"

"Oh Xiao Meng, your makeup is more complicated, please wait a little longer."

Zhang Meili didn't even raise her head, and there was something imperceptible in her words.

The girl who was putting on makeup didn't hear it and looked at her enviously.

The more complicated the makeup is, the more important the character is.

Meng Ran stopped checking her cell phone and simply started chatting with the other party. Her name was Wu Yan, she was three years older than Meng Ran and had been working as an extra in the Hengxing Film and Television City for more than a year. It was a coincidence that she snuck in and became a famous actress.

An extra performance of two or three lines.

"Be quiet and don't move."

Zhang Meili said displeased.

The two of them immediately became quiet. Wu Yan smiled awkwardly and checked her cell phone.

Meng Ran had already learned from the previous exchange that the other party was also playing a maid, and she had a more sophisticated background than him, but the maid, who was also the second female lead, actually had the same makeup as him.

Although the other party was envious, he felt much more confident after learning this.

The hierarchy in the entertainment industry is very strict.

Meng Ran couldn't help but sigh.

After that, people kept coming in. Zhang Meili quickly put on makeup for those people, as if she had forgotten herself. Meng Ran reminded her frequently, which made Zhang Meili furious. Everyone in the dressing room looked at Meng Ran with strange eyes.

Meng Ran walked out of the dressing room as if he couldn't stand the atmosphere.

The corners of Zhang Meili's mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were proud.

Meng Ran looked at the time and saw that it was almost eight o'clock. At 8:30, the second female lead was filming her first scene and it was time for her to appear. She had already calculated that it would take at least half an hour for Zhang Meili to paint a maid's makeup.

The rest of the maids, servants, rough messengers, etc. who have more backgrounds than Meng Ran, some just add a few touches, and some don't need makeup at all, so the crew's coordination is still very good, putting the complicated makeup on

A few people are on the second floor, and a group of people can perform together, so the time is enough.

But if someone is deliberately making things difficult...

Meng Ran first sent a message to Director Zhang, saying that he had arrived at the set at 5:30 and had not been able to put on makeup until now. He was worried that there would not be enough time to start shooting at 8:30.

Director Zhang did not reply.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m busy or because I just don’t care about the small role of Meng Ran.

Meng Ran turned around and went to dressing room No. 1.

The place here is bigger, there are more people, and there are two makeup artists. With Meng Ran’s expert makeup skills, he can tell at a glance that one of them has an apprentice. The girl probably just entered this industry not long ago.

It's sweat.

However, her master was busy with himself and was applying make-up to several people. The make-up was quite complicated. In addition to the maids who appeared frequently, there should also be other official ladies such as the second female sister and younger sister.

Meng Ran looked at a girl who was trimming the eyebrows of a maid, but the foundation on her face was messy. He simply picked up the powder puff next to him and patted it lightly. The girl was stunned for a moment, and when she realized it, she was about to scold Meng Ran.

Meng Ran took away the powder puff and looked at the delicate and moist skin. The girl was speechless.

The maid couldn't help but said,

"Wow, your makeup looks much more comfortable this time around."

"I have studied makeup myself." Meng Ran looked at the girl and said, "How about we make a deal? I will do your makeup and you can lend me the makeup."

The girl looked at her strangely, "Why do you want cosmetics?"

"Of course it's makeup." Meng Ran explained the matter simply, "I just joined the crew, so I can't argue with my seniors, so I know how to put on makeup myself. After watching it for an hour, I roughly know how to put it on, but I don't have any makeup.

"

She clasped her hands together and said softly,

"Please, my beautiful and kind-hearted young lady, it's my first day at work. I don't want to leave a bad impression on the boss, nor do I want to delay the crew's schedule because of me. The time of working as a worker is so precious. I will only be scolded myself.

That’s all, if I cause the rest of the crew to work overtime with me, death will not be enough to apologize.”
