Chapter 149: Cutting in Line

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If Song Ci did not insist on having light makeup, the reception would not have been so positive. Lu Jingming would not have taken notice of Le Hong either.

Le Hong was aware of these facts. Thus, she argued with the lead makeup artist for a long time about still being in charge of Song Ci.

In the end, the lead makeup artist had to check if Lu Jingming was willing to accept such an arrangement.

Meanwhile, Le Hong immediately ran over and persuaded Li Ke to leave.

When Yang Haoran heard the whole story, he became even more worried.

Song Ci felt that Le Hong was impeccable. The latter was just an employee and had no say in anything. Yet, she tried her best to make things right.

“Go and finish Lu Jingming’s makeup first. Then, ask him if he’s okay with the arrangements. If he refuses, it’s okay. Just do what’s best for you. I understand it’s not easy to be an employee.”

Song Ci said with a smile.

Le Hong looked at Song Ci. This woman was really understanding.

“I’ll do my best to persuade him.”

After saying that, Le Hong was informed that Lu Jingming had arrived. She needed to start working on him.

Le Hong had a brief chat with Song Ci before leaving.

Yang Haoran sighed.

“Lu Jingming definitely won’t agree to it. We’ll probably need a new makeup artist. I’m going to head over and check the rest of Le Hong’s team.”

“Okay.”

Shortly after Yang Haoran left, Song Ci heard a knock on the door.

A person walked in.

“Song Ci? If you’re not busy right now, can you go through these lines with me?”

Song Ci raised her head. It was the third male lead, Meng Jin. In the film, they were a couple.

Meng Jun smiled. He did not have any makeup on.

“The others are not ready yet, so we have time. Can we go through the lines? Is it convenient for you?”

Song Ci nodded.

“Okay.”

However, Song Ci felt it was inappropriate for them to be the only people in this room. Hence, they went outside.

Meng Jun did not film any scenes yet. However, he always went to set on time. He listened to the director’s guidance and observed how everyone acted. Song Ci clearly stood out, so Meng Jun approached her.

“Should I refer to you as Sister Song Ci? If you feel that something is not right between us during filming, just let me know. My acting skills are average, but I’m willing to learn. I hope you won’t be annoyed with me.”

Meng Jun had actually just graduated from university recently. Therefore, he was very humble and eager.

Song Ci smiled and said, “Just call me Song Ci! You can also let me know if I’ve done something wrong. We can learn from each other.”

“Okay.”

Meng Jun nodded.

Subsequently, the two of them began practicing.

Lin Ting had just finished putting on her makeup. When she walked outside, she saw Song Ci and Meng Jun.

‘Huh? What time was it? They’re already practicing together?’

This sight caused Lin Ting to feel uneasy. After all, the supporting characters were working so hard. As the female lead, was she slacking off? What if the audience complained about her acting skills?

Her assistant said from the side, “Sister Lin Ting, let’s take a break. Your makeup took quite a long time.”

How could Lin Ting rest?!

She walked directly toward Song Ci and said, “Song Ci, can you practice with me next? There’s a scene involving the two of us today. I want to give it my all and not delay production.”

Song Ci had no reason to reject.

“Sure.”

Coincidentally, Lu Jingming also saw this scene. His heart was filled with complicated emotions.

‘What’s happening? Why are they all so dedicated?’

After making her appointment, Lin Ting left.

Meng Jun received a call. His makeup artist was ready for him. So, he also made an appointment with Song Ci and departed.

Lu Jingming thought to himself, ‘If I want to practice with Song Ci, do I also have to make an appointment?’

Even though Lu Jingming was the male lead, he had never received such treatment!

While Lu Jingming was thinking, Xie Qian appeared. The latter asked Song Ci, “Were you practicing with Meng Jun just now?”

“Yes.”

Song Ci nodded.

Xie Qian continued, “Can we also practice together? Let’s do our best.”

Lu Jingming was shocked. Did Xie Qian just cut in line?

“Sure.”

Song Ci had no objections.

Lu Jingming was devastated. Song Ci actually agreed!

Of course, Song Ci had no idea what Lu Jingming was thinking. As an actress, it was normal to go through scenes with her counterparts before filming.
