Chapter 284: TENSED
Three days later, it was the Koral’s yearly collection launch date.
Ning Mei today was at the set, as she had scenes with Feng Ye, as the crew was rushing to clear their schedule with Feng Ye. Today’s scene was mostly the romantic scenes with him, showing the budding love between Alex and Andrea.
"And, action! " The Director yelled.
Andrea looked at Alex, with a small smile on her face, she said, " Thank you, thank you so much, Alex. I know now, how stupid I was being these days. I should not have just blindly chased after such baseless revenge.
I know now, that, that relationship was never meant for me. "
Then looking at Alex’s deep eyes, she said, " But I have a lot better things waiting for m-"
" CUT! " Director Wang shouted. A hint of annoyance in his voice.
He walked out of behind the camera and frowned, " Ning Mei? What is wrong with you today? Why are your expressions so bland? No vigor, no brightness, nothing! This scene needs a lot of chemistry betee the couple, and I hope that you understand that very well.
You and Feng Ye were giving off that energy on the other scenes, but where did it go now, when it is needed the most?
This is the third take, and you have been repeating mistakes! In between your dialogues when you pause, you have to hold his hands and should have strong emotions in your eyes! But everything is missing! "
On getting scolded l, Ning Mei said nothing and just lowered her head as she listened to him quietly.
Director Wang pinched the bridge, and waved his hand, " Alright everyone, A fifteen minutes break.
And Ning Mei, get your self collected in the fifteen minutes and come back with your real potential. Okay? I know what you can do. "
Ning Mei simply nodded her head, and walked towards her vanity. She had her head down as if she was thinking about something and was deep in thought.
Feng Ye and Yu Lian who came up to her also noticed her quietness, and frowned. Without saying much, they just followed her to her vanity.
Ning Mei slumped in a chair and covered her face with the script. Yu Lian and Feng ye entered the vanity and closed the door behind them.
Yu Lian patted Ning Mei’s shoulders and asked, " Xiao Mei, What happened to you today? You look so tensed since morning? "
Ning Mei rubbed her face with her palms and exhaled a long breathe, " The Koral’s launch is just after four hours today. " Yu Lian and Feng Ye nodded.
" So? It is a very big day for you today. I understand you might be tensed, and nervous. But you don’t look happy at all. Why do you look so upset? " Feng Ye asked.
Ning Mei seemed a little too much tensed about it, rather than anticipating about it, which was so much out of character for her.
Ning Mei shook her head, and finally shared her concerns. " You guys are not understanding the main thing here. I am actually happy that a collection is being launched today that features me. I am really happy about it.
But you see, that was never our main target for collaborating with Koral. The main thing that I wanted was the Brand Ambassadorship! And that is only going to happen if I overthrow the hype of Ning Yiyi’s seasonal collection. "
Yu Lian widened her eyes in panic too. This few days, she was so busy scheduling Ning Mei’s timings with the show, and also making time for her personal stuff regarding her own family issues, then also skimming through the offers, roles and endorsements that are coming up to them, after Ning Mei’s popularity shot up after Meilei’s advertisement and launch, that this thought had gone off her mind.
Exactly! This was just a test for Ning Mei! Their real goal was The Brand Ambassadorship!
Ning Mei pinched her nose bridge and showed them, the hot search list and her name was going down by some bars than Ning Yiyi.
It has already been a week since the launch of Meilei. And at the initial days, her name continued to get trended and she received a lot of attention, infact more than Ning Yiyi’s. But with passing days with new things, shows, controversies, launches upcoming, her hype was bound to get lessened.
Though it was not the same with Ning Yiyi. As Ning Yiyi was already an established figure in the industry, with her constant news upcoming, she continued to remain trending.
Just a few days ago, after her Koral’s launch, a dance video of hers from a recent reality dance show that she had attended as an guest, went viral. And she started trending again. She had worn one of Koral’s seasonal collection clothes to the show, so Koral’s collection was again the talk of the town.
Feng Ye and Yu Lian too became tensed for her.
But Ning Mei had other concerns in mind too. If she did not secure the Brand Ambassadorship, then her road of fame would take more time , and things won’t go according to her plan.
Also, her plans of reviving Sky Entertainment would delay. Ning Mei wanted to serve her success hot into Ning Yiyi’s mouth! And she wanted to do it, as soon as she could before Ning Yiyi would make another vicious plan.
She wanted to break her attitude and ego with her success. To show her that, even if she wasn’t the Ning blood, she was able to achieve success on her own too.
Also, she did not want anyone to raise doubts that, she was exposing Ning Yiyi because she was jealous of her success.
Because from what she knew about Ning Yiyi, that woman was not afraid of being disowned by her own family. But her biggest fear was to face failure. To lose all the money and fame she had. And Ning Mei would serve her exactly that. No Family. No money. No fame! That’s what you get on hurting my loved ones!
