Chapter 206 Encountering an Arrogant Woman
"What's going on? The makeup artist still hasn't come to do my makeup? I've been waiting for almost an hour."
In the dressing room, a woman spoke arrogantly.
The female makeup artist, Xiao Liu, who was about to do Chu Xinglan's makeup, was in a dilemma.
"Let's do her makeup first."
Since arriving, Chu Xinglan has been watching the drama. The second female lead, Jiang Qing, is a woman with a fiery personality, arrogant and unreasonable. Everyone in the crew hates her, but she has no self-awareness. Relying on her sugar daddy, she looks down on everyone, especially targeting her in various ways. If anyone is even slightly nice to her, they will be subjected to all kinds of insults and attacks by Jiang Qing.
She didn't want the makeup artist to be scolded by Jiang Qing again for doing her makeup first, so she preferred to wait a little longer.
The makeup artist gave Chu Xinglan a grateful look, then rushed to Jiang Qing's side, only to be met with a furious scolding from Jiang Qing: "Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated? What if you get hit?"
"You're so clumsy! Do you even want to keep your job? What if you scratch my face?"
The makeup artist patiently finished her makeup, but just as she was halfway through applying Chu Xinglan's makeup, Jiang Qing started nitpicking again, deliberately saying something to the makeup artist.
"Come here, take a look and see if my makeup is done properly. Quickly fix it for me."
This wasn't the first time she'd done this. During Chu Xinglan's makeup session, she had interrupted the makeup artist several times with excuses, making it impossible for the makeup artist to give Chu Xinglan a proper and complete makeup look.
Finally, the makeup artist couldn't take it anymore and confronted Jiang Qing.
"Miss Jiang, I'm not your personal makeup artist. There are many other people waiting for me to do their makeup. Even if you have so many requirements, why not hire a makeup artist who will do your makeup? Besides, it's not your turn to film yet. What's the rush?"
"What are you saying? How dare you, a makeup artist, talk to me like that? Do you believe I'll get the crew to fire you?"
Jiang Qing had never encountered anyone who dared to confront her to her face, and she was furious.
"Your makeup skills are quite good. From now on, I'm hiring you as my personal makeup artist."
Chu Xinglan couldn't stand Jiang Qing's constant demands for the crew to fire her. The crew was already struggling to save money by having her, a makeup artist, do everyone's makeup, and now she had to deal with someone with so many demands. So she hired her as a personal makeup artist, so she could do makeup for whoever she wanted without having to put up with Jiang Qing's attitude anymore.
After Chu Xinglan finished speaking, she lowered her head, picked up her phone, and entered a few numbers. Immediately, Xiao Liu's phone issued a notification: "Received 10 yuan via WeChat."
The moment the sound was uttered, everyone was shocked.
Xiao Liu, in particular, stared in disbelief at the numbers on his phone.
"One hundred thousand...one hundred thousand yuan?" Xiao Liu covered his mouth with his hand in excitement, and couldn't help but exclaim, "That's too much! I've never received so much money in any film crew before."
"It's 100,000 yuan per month," Chu Xinglan reminded her.
"Every month?" Xiao Liu thought she had misheard. She stared at Chu Xinglan in disbelief. "Miss Ming, are you really willing to spend 100,000 yuan every month to invite me to be your personal makeup artist?"
Chu Xinglan nodded.
The other staff members present were filled with envy.
I never imagined that Miss Ming would be not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also so rich.
Jiang Qing was shocked, stunned, and filled with resentment at Chu Xinglan's unexpected move.
"I knew you'd only acted in one movie after another, and you weren't even the lead. How did you suddenly become so famous, even playing the female lead in Director Huang's film? Turns out you hooked up with a rich guy. Did you get this female lead role by sleeping with your sugar daddy?"
Jiang Qing's mouth was full of foul language.
"I'm dirty, so everyone else thinks I'm dirty too."
"That's right. Everyone in the crew knows that she was just an extra. She only got the role of the second female lead because she became the third party in the investment. Before that, she always wanted to be the female lead, but Director Huang refused to agree, so he reluctantly let her play the second female lead."
Those present all felt indignant on Chu Xinglan's behalf.
Chu Xinglan then realized the reason why Jiang Qing was targeting her in every way: it was because Jiang Qing had taken away the leading role that Chu Xinglan had been longing for. No wonder she hated her.
"Let me tell you, watch your mouths, and you'd better not mess with me," Jiang Qing said arrogantly. "I'm naturally beautiful, and it's my skill that I've caught the eye of a rich man. If you're so capable, why don't you also hook up with a rich man and have him promote you and invest in you?"
When a person is shameless, they are invincible. Chu Xinglan didn't want to get entangled with this kind of person any longer.
"Finish my makeup."
"Okay, Miss Ming." Little Liu didn't dare say anything to Jiang Qing and happily did Chu Xinglan's makeup.
"What's going on? Why isn't your makeup done yet? It's time for the female lead to come on stage."
Director Huang rushed over and became a little anxious when he saw that Chu Xinglan's makeup was not yet finished.
"Director, Miss Jiang kept asking me to do her makeup, so I didn't have time to do Miss Ming's makeup," Xiao Liu explained.
Before Director Huang could speak, Jiang Qing shouted, "Director, I want you to replace this lead actor and this makeup artist immediately!"
Director Huang was already familiar with Jiang Qing's character. Unlike others, he didn't have to cater to her. The film's progress had already been slowed down by Jiang Qing, and now she was even asking to replace the female lead, which was truly ridiculous.
“Ms. Jiang, this is not a place where you can act like a flirt and have your way. If you have any complaints, you can go directly to Mr. Xu.”
When everyone heard Director Huang's blunt words, they all gave him a thumbs up, saying, "It has to be Director Huang."
Jiang Qing's face turned red from the rebuke. She felt that everyone in the crew was targeting her. If she didn't get over this, how could she hold her head high in the crew?
Since the director wouldn't give her face, she directly called her sugar daddy.
"Hey, honey, come quick! The people in this film crew are bullying me. You have to stand up for me."
Jiang Qing spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice over the phone.
Everyone who heard her speak looked like they were about to vomit.
Director Huang couldn't stand it either, and shook his head, saying to Chu Xinglan, "Let's go out. This scene is the first time you and the male lead meet."
"Okay." Chu Xinglan nodded and went out with the director.
Jiang Qing glared at Chu Xinglan's retreating figure, thinking to herself, "You'll be smug for a while. When my sugar daddy arrives, you'll be in for a world of hurt."
Filming in progress...
Chu Xinglan turned around and glanced back.
In reality...
It immediately amazed countless people present.
"Wow, so beautiful, so gorgeous, she's definitely a mermaid princess."
Standing in the dressing room, Jiang Qing looked at Chu Xinglan, who had everyone mesmerized, with intense jealousy. This role should have belonged to her. If it were her, she would have captivated everyone present as well. It was this woman named Mingxinglan who stole her thunder!
