Chapter 4 Triggering Branch Melon

At five o'clock the next day, Meng Ran got up on time, and arrived at the film and television city at 05:30, and found that the crew was already busy.

She came to the multi-person dressing room and was about to open the door to enter when she 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 melon, make-up artist Zhang Meili hates it, do you want to claim it? 】

Meng Ran's expression darkened slightly.

"Turn on."

[Zhang Meili was born in poverty, and came to the film and television city with the dream of becoming a star. After realizing that she was not beautiful enough, she quickly changed direction, fawned on the makeup artist of the film crew, and became his apprentice. bed.Note: The makeup artist has married]

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

[Her dream of becoming a big star has never changed. When she returned to her hometown, she found that her eldest brother's niece was good-looking. It happened that the niece also yearned for her aunt's extravagant life. The two hit it off and came to Star Film and Television City to pursue their dreams.However, the host stepped in and snatched her niece's chance, which made Zhang Meili very disgusted, and planned to play tricks on time and makeup, so that the host would offend Director Qin and be hated by the crew]

"Is it time?"

Meng Ran was thoughtful, instead of entering the dressing room, she went to the field manager and helped her.

The man gave Meng Ran a surprised look.

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

"I'm the prop Song Qi, 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 head of the props team. It seems that she has a good eye.

"Thank you, Sister Song, you can call me Xiaomeng, Sister Song."

Meng Ran helped pick up the props while talking.

After moving for about 10 minutes, Meng Ran looked at the tableware and couldn't help saying,

"Sister Song, can I take a photo and post it on Moments? These are too delicate, and the crew I was in before were not so particular about it."

Song Qi looked coldly at the other party's neat work, and didn't say much, but she had a good impression, and said, "Be careful not to film the actors, and don't reveal anything about the crew."

Meng Ran smiled gratefully, quickly uploaded a few photos to Moments, edited the text and sent it, couldn't help laughing at the displayed time, and continued to help Song Qi arrange the venue.

At six o'clock, Meng Ran said shyly,
"Sister Song, it's time for me. I don't know if the makeup artist has arrived. I'll go and see."

Song Qi didn't say anything, but waved her hand.

Meng Ran put away the props and turned around to go to the multi-person dressing room with the No. [-] sign, knocked on the door, and opened the door only after hearing the voice inside, and said generously,
"Hello, I'm Meng Ran who plays Qiuyue, the second maid. You're Zhang's makeup artist. Just call me Xiao Meng."

It was as if he didn't know the other party's resentment towards him at all.

Zhang Meili also smiled and said enthusiastically,

"I am, hello, Xiaomeng came early. I am arranging cosmetics. Please sit down for a while."

Meng Ran found a place to sit down, took out her mobile phone, and started to browse Weibo, but unfortunately she ate melons too hard, until the second person came, she didn't swipe any new melons, she put it down with a little regret Looking at the phone, I saw that Zhang Meili was already putting on makeup for that person.

Sure enough, Meng Ran asked,

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

"Oh Xiaomeng, your makeup is more complicated, just wait a little longer."

Zhang Meili didn't even raise her head, her words were a little perfunctory.

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

The more complicated the makeup, the heavier the role.

Meng Ran was not swiping her phone and started chatting with her. Her name is Wu Yan, she is three years older than Meng Ran, and she has been a group performer in Star Film and Television City for more than a year. A group performance of two or three lines.

"Be quiet and don't move."

Zhang Meili said displeased.

The two fell silent immediately, Wu Yan smiled awkwardly, and swiped her phone.

Meng Ran has already known through the communication just now that the other party is also playing a maid, who has a stronger background than herself, but the maid who is also the second female has the same makeup as herself.

Although the other party is envious, after knowing this, he has a lot of confidence.

The hierarchy in the entertainment industry is very strict.

Meng Ran couldn't help sighing.

Afterwards, people kept coming in. Zhang Meili quickly applied makeup to those people, as if she had forgotten herself. Meng Ran reminded her frequently, but Zhang Meili was furious. Everyone in the dressing room looked at Meng Ran with weird eyes.

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

The corners of Zhang Meili's mouth curled up slightly, her eyes smug.

Meng Ran looked at the time and it was almost eight o'clock. At 08:30, the second female lead filmed the first scene, so she should be on stage by herself. She had calculated that it would take at least half an hour for Zhang Meili to paint a maid's makeup.

The rest of the little maids, servants, rough envoys, etc., who have more background boards than Meng Ran, some add a few strokes casually, and some don't need makeup at all, so the overall planning of the crew is still very good. A few are on the [-]nd, and a group of people will evolve together, and the time is enough.

But if someone makes things difficult...

Meng Ran first sent a message to Director Zhang, saying that he arrived at the set at 05:30 and hadn't been able to put on makeup until now, worrying that there would not be enough time for filming to start at 08:30.

Director Zhang didn't return.

I don't know if it's because I'm busy or I don't care about Meng Ran's small role.

Meng Ran turned around and went to dressing room No. [-].

The place here is bigger, there are more people, and there are two makeup artists. With Meng Ran's professional makeup skills, one can tell at a glance that one of them has an apprentice. It's sweat.

But her master couldn't take care of himself, and was doing makeup for several people. The makeup was quite complicated. Apart from the maid who appeared a lot, she should also have the identity of the second sister and the younger sister of the official family.

Meng Ran saw that the girl was trimming the eyebrows of a maid, but the foundation on her face was messy, so she simply picked up the powder puff next to her and patted it lightly. Meng Ran took away the powder puff, looking at the delicate and moist skin, the girl was dumbfounded.

The maid couldn't help but said,

"Wow, after you change it, the makeup looks much more comfortable."

"I have studied makeup myself." Meng Ran looked at the girl, "How about we make a deal, I will help you make up, and you can lend me the cosmetics."

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

"Of course it's makeup." Meng Ran said the matter briefly, "I just joined the film crew, so it's not easy to argue with the seniors, so I can also put on makeup myself, after watching it for an hour, I roughly know how it looks, but there is no makeup. "

She clasped her hands together and said softly,
"Please, beautiful and kind-hearted young lady, on my first day at work, I don't want to leave a bad impression on the leader, and I don't want to delay the schedule of the crew because of me. The time of beating the workers is so precious. I don't want to be scolded myself. Forget it, if other members of the production team are involved in working overtime with me, death is not enough to apologise."
