Chapter 162 - The Rich Woman's Gigolo
Chapter 162: The Rich Woman’s Gigolo
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Ling Sheng was not good at makeup, and she had relied on her good looks to be confident when she walked out without makeup. She had never been interested in makeup.
Xiaxia had put on makeup for people before. She had been a makeup artist and had more than a million fans. She was confident that her makeup skills were excellent. “Women should learn how to put on makeup. Look, when you don’t put on makeup, you’re a fairy. When you put on makeup, you can transform into a vixen. If you want to be a mature woman, you can be a mature woman. If you want to be a little girl, you can be a little girl. Let me create a gentler makeup look for you!”
“I’ll leave it up to you.” Ling Sheng did not ask much.
While putting on her makeup, Xiaxia spoke to her. “Do you know Lu Yubai? He’s the number one makeup artist in China and he’s my idol. My lifelong dream and pursuit is to become a master like him.”
Ling Sheng said, “Then you should be a makeup artist. Why are you acting?”
Xiaxia said, “My best friend asked me to accompany her to the audition. The director didn’t pick her but chose me instead. He insisted on me filming this, so I came.”
Ling Sheng smiled. “You look unhappy.”
Xiaxia replied, “Not really. It’s alright. It’s only been a month, so I came to give it a try. However, you’re a member of Huo Ci’s Studio. Why did you take a female lead role that someone else did not want?”
“The previous actress didn’t want the female lead role? Didn’t she say she was sick?” After Ling Sheng had finished reading the script yesterday, she had searched for relevant news about the film crew.
The female lead of “Moon” had originally been a C-list actress named Song Xixi. Yesterday morning, she had suddenly posted on Weibo that there was a problem with her health and she could not participate in the film. She had then sent an apology to the film crew.
“You believe that?” Xiaxia pursed her lips. “You know nothing about Song Xixi. She’s the eldest daughter of Hua Ying Entertainment’s boss. I think she didn’t want to act in the film.”
“Since she didn’t want to do it, why did she accept the role in the first place?”
“I don’t know. I also heard that Hua Ying Entertainment invested in this film. I don’t know why, but she suddenly withdrew her investment before filming started. This must have something to do with it. Your company has good resources, and you’re also an artist managed by Mei Xuelin. How could you accept a film that she didn’t want?”
“I think the script is pretty good. The theme and concept are both good.”
“There aren’t many fools like you nowadays. We’re all filming for money, yet you’re still interested in the theme.”
“Then I’m really a fool. Since the film crew doesn’t have money, why would they book a hotel? That must cost a lot of money!”
“You don’t know about the commotion caused by the change of the male lead during the casting process. The news was suppressed at the time. Actually, this hotel was not chosen by the film crew.” Xiaxia then whispered in a mysterious voice, “I heard this from other people. It’s all gossip, but just listen to it.”
Xiaxia did know a lot of gossip. The male lead of the movie had been a fourth-year student at the Film Academy named Su Rongxuan. Later, when there was investment capital, he had been swapped out for the current male lead, Lu Xianzhi.
When Ling Sheng saw the male lead, Lu Xianzhi, she looked at the man in disbelief, her mind filled with Xiaxia’s words.
Xiaxia had said, “I heard that Lu Xianzhi is a pretty boy supported by a rich woman. The investor of the film is his financier, who helped him become the male lead.”
Xiaxia had said that the hotel had not been booked by the film crew but by the financier behind Lu Xianzhi. Fearing that the film crew would let him suffer, she had decided to book the whole film crew’s accommodation as a treat for them.
“Sheng Sheng?” Lu Xianzhi had imagined meeting her again countless times, but he had never expected to meet her in such a manner and be caught off guard.
