Ten minutes later, He Jing’s makeup was done.
The makeup artist put the lipstick back into the tube and looked at the girl’s face in the mirror. Unable to resist a tinge of jealousy, she said, “We’re both women. Why isn’t my skin as good?”
Before she met He Jing, she had planned to put on makeup for He Jing for half an hour. After all, she had to cover up the flaws on her face.
However, when she laid her hands on it, she realized that He Jing’s face wasn’t imperfect at all. She didn’t have freckles or fine lines. She only had a face full of collagen and youthful beauty.
He Jing smiled and said, “Thank you.” Seeing that Yan Hanxi hadn’t returned, she picked up the script and looked at it again.
She had never acted before, so she was inevitably a little nervous. She was afraid that she would forget her lines in a while…
After an unknown period, she was suddenly patted lightly on the shoulder. He Jing subconsciously looked back, and her breathing froze.
The young man behind her had changed into dazzling chestnut-colored hair, as if he was blessed by the sun, attracting all the elegance. The ends of his hair were dancing with fine light, like a prince who had walked out of a comic book.
Under the reflection of the light, her long and narrow phoenix eyes turned into a sexy brown.
His thin lips curled up slightly. There was a hint of nonchalance in his unruly manner. After seeing He Jing’s expression, that nonchalance gradually turned into interest. He waved his hand in front of her. “What’s wrong?”
He Jing came back to her senses. She averted her eyes and said calmly,
“Nothing. Where are the others?”
She thought, “D*mn it, as expected of the male lead. He looked too superior.”
Yan Hanxi chuckled. “They went out to get ready for the shoot. They saw that you were so engrossed in memorizing your lines that they didn’t want to disturb you.”
Oh.” He Jing still dared not look at him, afraid that the d*mn law of novels would make her infatuated again. So she left the dressing room without looking at Yan Hanxi.
Yan Hanxi felt somewhat neglected, and he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in confusion. Could it be that the hair color he chose was ugly?
. Alright then.
When the two of them went out, the filming crew was already prepared.
The first scene of the promotional MV was set in the school grove because it was the place that attracted the most imagination. Nowadays, enrollment promotion follows a routine. The old-fashioned group of students shouting “XX school welcomes you” was no longer popular.
After the team members confirmed the details, the shooting of the promotional video officially began.
He Jing followed the script and the director’s instructions. She slowly entered the frame from the end of the forest and walked toward the male lead, Yan Hanxi, who was leaning against a tree with a book covering his face as if he was taking a nap.
A gentle breeze blew, and the girl’s leather shoes rustled against the leaves. She bent down and prepared to open the textbook on the young man’s face…
Suddenly, the director shouted, “Cut!”
“Student He Jing, please adjust your expression and show a sweet smile like your first love.”
He Jing was speechless.
She has been single since birth. How could she reveal a sweet smile like her
first love?
It turned out that the greatest Waterloo in history was here.
She was too careless.
However, He Jing had no choice but to comply because the director had made a request. After a short silence, she forced a smile.
The director said, “It’s too stiff.’
He Jing was speechless.
He Jing adjusted the corners of her mouth to make the smile widen.
The director then said, “It’s too fake.”
After that, there was a burst of suppressed laughter in the grove. Only a serious male voice sounded continuously.
“It’s too cold.” “No feelings.”
“Let’s start again.”
He Jing adjusted her smile a dozen times in front of the mirror, only to be mercilessly rejected each time.
The young man who was leaning against the tree finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. He shook his arms with laughter and pushed the book away from his face. He narrowed his eyes and smiled warmly. “Merit Student, have you never been in love before?”
He Jing glared at him in embarrassment.. “What about you? Are you experienced?”
