Maid?

Why would someone playing a maid need to have her do their makeup?

Wenxuan took a deep breath without saying a word and nodded gently.

She had no choice but to agree; the company bowed to capital, so she had to comply.

However, the maid's makeup didn't need to be too elaborate. Wenxuan finished it in no time. The wigs for the maid were all found at the same dressing room where she had originally been queuing.

Once the fake hairpiece was attached, Xu Zishan transformed from a modern rich heiress into a servile ancient maid. Her ordinary hairpiece had no hair ornaments, not even a hairpin, just a plastic begonia flower.

So much so that Kate Tsui was completely dumbfounded when she saw the final result.

Actually, the makeup and styling are consistent with the original character. Maids are all pretty much the same. Even if you are playing the second young lady's maid, it won't be much different.

However, because she had just seen Shen Li's final makeup and styling, she had secretly raised her expectations to the maximum, which is why she felt a great sense of disappointment when she saw her own final look.

Especially with Shen Li sitting in the back, compared to the two of them, Xu Zishan felt that she was ugly and unsophisticated, and was simply outshone.

"Teacher, this...this isn't right, is it?"

Kate Tsui was unwilling to accept this, and even less willing to wear this outfit to take stills. She looked at Wen Xuan and asked, "Why is my makeup so plain? My hairstyle is also very ordinary, and there isn't even a hair accessory!"

Wenxuan was packing her makeup bag when she heard this. She glanced at Xu Zishan expressionlessly before saying, "This kind of makeup is for roles like yours. Although I don't do makeup for maid roles anymore, I started with small roles in the early days. There's nothing wrong with your makeup."

"At most, when it comes to choosing clothes, they might pick out something different from what the extras and background actors wear."

Different from extras and background actors?

Her dad invested 500 yuan, and all she got was a minor role?

She wanted something different from Shen Li!

But in some ways, how can she not be different from Shen Li?

"Teacher, you must be mistaken!" Wenxuan hurriedly said, "I'm playing the second young lady's maid, and she's playing the fourth young lady's maid. In terms of roles and screen time, my role is more important!"

The Fourth Miss's maid?

Wenxuan blinked for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle: "You're probably mistaken. I don't even rank the top ten actors in the cast list when I do their makeup myself."

"Of course, you are an exception."

After saying that, she didn't bother to explain further. She picked up her packed makeup bag and prepared to leave work. Before leaving, she reminded Shen Li, "The photography team is even busier than us today. You might have to wait a while."

"It's alright, teacher. Thank you for your hard work today." Shen Li stood up and politely said goodbye to Teacher Wenxuan.

After Wenxuan left, Xu Zishan rushed up to Shen Li, looking at her angrily and demanding, "Shen Li, who exactly are you playing?"

She's not stupid. How could a cannon fodder character with little screen time, who was beaten to death early on, possibly have such a beautiful makeup and styling?

With her eyebrows drawn and eyes painted, and all the fine powder and rouge applied, this was definitely not the makeup of a maid.

Wang Chuhan belatedly looked at Shen Li, no wonder she had just thought that although Shen Li's makeup was beautiful, she didn't look like a maid at all.

The look of Kate Tsui in front of us is exactly what a maid should look like.

Shen Li naturally wouldn't tell anyone. She only told her sister and kept it a secret from her roommates, for fear that leaking the news would cause her to lose this precious opportunity.

Just as they were hesitating about how to handle the situation, someone finally pushed the door open and came in: "Teacher Song Anyu, Shen Li, it's your turn to take some stills."

Song Anyu, who had been sitting in the makeup chair pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes instantly upon hearing the sound. As soon as he stood up, he saw his team members rushing in.

The agent, a capable woman, walked up to Song Anyu and said, "We need to take the stills quickly. You have a 6:30 flight to Sanchuan for a brand event. You absolutely can't be late; it's related to whether you can get this endorsement."

"Understood." Song Anyu nodded and quickly left the dressing room under the escort of several security guards.

The next second, a burst of amazing cheers and screams erupted in the corridor, all because they saw Song Anyu.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shen Li pulled Wang Chuhan up and quickly followed, leaving Xu Zishan, who was still looking bewildered, inside.

Xu Zishan was both angry and confused. Not only did Shen Li not have to queue for makeup, but she also took stills with Song Anyu?

What exactly is going on?

The reason is that Song Anyu is neither the male lead nor the second male lead, but rather the official love interest of "Hua Xixi" in the drama, the third male lead "Chu Yan".

The moment Shen Li stepped into the studio, the cinematographer pulled her aside. Looking down at the materials, he rattled off a string of words: "'Hua Xixi,' right? In a bit, you're free to pose as you like. The photographer will capture the moments. Your movements need to suit your character—be gentle, sweet, and avoid overly modern poses."

"Then in a little while, you'll take a set of stills with Teacher Song Anyu. You two are a couple in the story, but it ends in a tragic ending, so remember to convey your deep affection with a touch of despair and reluctance. You know what I mean?"

Before Shen Li could answer, she was pulled away by another costume designer: "Come with me to change your clothes."

The entire shooting process was very busy. Shen Li was pulled along like a puppet, changing one outfit after another. It wasn't until the fifth outfit that she finally found the one that best suited her makeup and styling.

Then, in a flash, she was already in Song Anyu's arms.

"Come on, the two of you look at each other deeply, and Teacher An Yu hugs you a little tighter, showing the struggle of not wanting to let go."

"female……"

Just as the photographer was about to give Shen Li some pointers, he noticed that her eyes were red at the corners, her watery eyes were filled with tears, and her eyes were full of despair.

His expression changed from surprise to delight, and he shut his mouth and pressed the shutter repeatedly, afraid that Shen Li's perfect state would be lost in an instant.

"Come on, next move. Teacher An Yu, sit down. Shen Li, lie down on Teacher An Yu's lap. Let's make this one a little sweeter. We can release it as promotional material for CP fans later."

After helping Shen Li up, Song Anyu couldn't help but glance at her again. The overwhelming emotions that had surged up in her just now had truly surprised him.

I've worked with so many actresses since my debut, but I've never seen an actress get into character so quickly and deliver such full and nuanced emotions.

After sitting down, Song Anyu stretched out one of his long legs and then looked up at Shen Li.

When they realized she had lost her composure, her eyes were filled with fear, and she looked like a frightened fawn, completely at a loss.

Before lying down, Shen Li bowed shyly to Song Anyu and whispered, "I'm sorry, teacher."

"It's alright, let's hurry up," Song Anyu said softly.

Shen Li took a deep breath, slowly lay down on her side, and rested her head on Song Anyu's thigh. At the same time, she looked up at him with tender and affectionate eyes.

She got into character again in a second.
