After the dance, Lu Zhen took a shower and lay on the bed. In the past few days when she was overseas, she had been a little lonely. The people who were important to her were not by her side, and she was not familiar with the others in the production team. With her Asian face, she seemed to be an anomaly in the crowd.
Although Lu Zhen’s mental fortitude was not bad, it was still difficult to avoid feeling lonely. When she was lonely, she missed her family and boyfriend even more. However, Lu Zhen did not dare to tell Jiang Fei that she had not completely adapted to the environment here. She was afraid that Jiang Fei would be worried for her. She would only share with Jiang Fei what delicious food she had eaten again, or if there was anything new and fun in the production team.
She would only tell Song Jia about some bad emotions.
Song Jia would help her analyze from various angles such as psychology. Then, he would comfort her. After comforting her, the two of them would sometimes find a movie online and hold a video conference to watch it together. Or they would make a video call. She didn’t do anything and just watched Song Jia work in the office.
This distant companionship comforted Lu Zhen’s impetuous heart and helped her ease her nervousness and anxiety.
“I’m a little worried. If my scenes aren’t filmed before the new year, won’t I have to stay here for the new year?” Lu Zhen lay on the bed, her tone worried.
“My suggestion is to show up in front of Orel more every day and hint to him to arrange your scenes quickly.” Song Jia looked at the screen and multitasked. As he dealt with his work, he replied to Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen was a little conflicted. “Is this useful? He won’t suspect that I have other motives, right?”
“If he suspects that you want to add scenes and really adds scenes for you, wouldn’t that be a good thing?” Song Jia smiled and said.
Lu Zhen couldn’t help but laugh. “How can there be such a lucky thing?”
Although Lu Zhen felt that Song Jia’s suggestion might not be useful, when she went to the production team the next day, she still increased the frequency of appearing in front of Orel.
Lu Zhen did not expect Orel to add scenes for her. She only hoped that after Orel remembered her existence, he would hurry up and arrange for her scenes to be filmed so that she could return to the country early for the New Year.
It was unknown if Song Jia’s suggestion was effective or if Orel was already prepared to start filming Lu Zhen’s scenes. A week later, Lu Zhen finally walked into the dressing room. After the makeup artist finished dressing Lu Zhen, Orel came over to take a look and frowned at the makeup artist. “She’s too beautiful. No.”
The female lead of this movie was also a very beautiful actress, but Lu Zhen was only 19 years old this year. Her youth made her beauty even more eye-catching. Standing beside the female lead, it was easy to snatch a portion of the audience’s attention.
After Orel left, the makeup artist could not help but complain, “You look like this to begin with. Why is he still blaming me?”
Lu Zhen comforted the makeup artist. “Why don’t we choose a darker foundation?”
The makeup artist did not expect Lu Zhen to speak foreign languages so fluently. After being stunned for a moment, she nodded. “Alright, then don’t mind that you’ll become ugly after your makeup. This is the director’s request. ”
After changing her makeup, the woman’s skin in the mirror was yellow, and her slender eyebrows had thickened. The shadows on both sides of her high nose bridge had increased, making her nose look narrow, creating a visual discord.
The makeup artist said helplessly, “God, I really didn’t mean to destroy your masterpiece. Forgive me.”
Lu Zhen couldn’t help but laugh. This makeup artist was quite humorous. Orel fell silent when he saw Lu Zhen’s makeup. After the modification, she wasn’t as beautiful anymore, but she still looked a little strange,
Lu Zhen’s scenes didn’t add up to much. There were two scenes where she danced with other actors. They were completely like background plates. There weren’t even close-up shots.
The other important scene was to frame the female lead.
The first scene that was filmed was when Lu Zhen, who was acting as an Oriental dancer, chatted with her friend. She said disdainfully that the female lead would definitely not be able to dance the ‘Testament of the Roses’ well.
The Testament of the Roses was the famous work of the Oriental Dancer. Although she was no longer as popular after that, no one had been able to perform this dance song better than her over the years.
The subsequent plot was, of course, a slap in the face. The female lead perfectly portrayed the ‘Testament of the Roses’ and became famous.
As for the Oriental Dancer, who had long been forgotten by the audience, her only proud achievement had been replaced by a newbie..
