Chapter 25: The Smiling Male Assistant
On the day of the start-up, Song Weiwei and Xia Chen, one of the crew members, arrived at the filming site early, this was Xia Chen's first on-site crew, so the night before they were ready to go, the two discussed what necessities to bring, Xia Chen and Song Weiwei chatted until the second half of the night before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
"Where do we need to stand?" Song was a little worried, Kim hadn't explained the rules to them beforehand, and she guessed that Kim must have been so busy that she forgot about the two little people.
In the end, the two of them simply found a vacant spot and sat improvised, waiting for the actors to arrive one after another.
Song Weiwei naturally has a general understanding of the situation of the crew, and she already has experience with the crew before going abroad, she reminded Xia Chen: "Wait a minute, don't talk too much." She touched Xia Chen's arm: "I heard that the director is well-known for being harsh in the industry, we just need to do what he says." ”
The losses he has suffered in the past have made Song Weiwei feel palpitations, the little screenwriter himself has no right to speak in the crew, if there is a problem of speaking recklessly and doing things without brains, it is normal to be driven away.
But Song Weiwei didn't tell himself that he was annoying big celebrities in China, and finally had to leave his hometown to work in such an unfamiliar country.
Michael and James arrived on the set at four o'clock, and the reporters who had been waiting for a long time tried to capture as many Reuters photos of the two as possible, huddled together and the shutter sounded one after another. James will bow and greet him when he sees it, while Michael sped up his pace and blocked his face with the script.
The assistants take the actors to the dressing room when they arrive to try on makeup, and each actor has their own lounge for makeup and costumes.
After shaking hands with the main staff members one by one, James began to look around for Song Weiwei's figure, they looked at each other from different directions, and James looked at her eyes with deeper smile lines.
The staff took the actors to the lounge, and James followed the last of the large group, waving in the direction of Song Weiwei.
"Weiwei, is James calling you?" asked Xia Chen.
"It's not like it......" Song Wei pretended not to know, but secretly observed James's movements, and then she made an excuse to leave for a while, and after going around the set up to avoid Xia Chen's sight, she slipped into the lounge with James' name tag.
James turned his head to look at the person who came in, and quickly asked the assistant to find a chair for Song Weiwei to sit next to him. He pointed to the new assistant and said, "This is Lee Chi-hyun, my new agent." ”
Looking at the black-haired man in front of her, Song Weiwei got up and took the initiative to shake hands, she greeted the other party very politely, until the other party opened her mouth, she tentatively asked him which country he was from.
"Korean-American, I immigrated to San Francisco with my parents when I was a kid. Li Chixian hooked the corners of his mouth and generously asked Song to sit down and chat. He arranges the tone of the makeup artist and stylist with ease, and is very familiar with how to prepare James for what to do next, and he is not a fledgling novice at first glance.
"Weiwei, Xiaoxian was recommended to me by Michael, you know that the company will not find such a competent partner for me. James raised his hand to ruffle his hair that had been cut to the tips of his ears. "How do I look?"
Song raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "You are the most handsome man I have ever seen." ”
Li Chixian watched with a smile on the side, he selected several sets of costumes to hang on the hanger, and then went to pour a glass of water and handed it to Song Weiwei. "Drink some water, James will have to wait a while after putting on his makeup. ”
Looking at the layers of heavy foundation applied to James's face, Song slightly suspected that he would have acne on his face after filming a few scenes today.
"James......" Song Weiwei finally couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't it a hassle when removing makeup?"
Like a child with a strong desire to learn, James casually found a makeup towel and shook it: "It's the same as a woman, but I want to make myself younger, so I put on a thicker makeup." ”
The makeup artist also joined in the fun at this time: "But in fact, James is the best male artist I have ever seen with makeup on his facial features." ”
"Except for the facial features?" Song asked slightly.
The makeup artist held his cheeks and rolled his eyes, "I've seen character modeling, and James is really suitable for this role." ”
At this time, Song Weiwei felt a sense of pride in her heart, her boyfriend was not as bad as others said, and when she first met James, she knew that this person would definitely become an incomparably dazzling star in the future.
"Are you lovers?" asked the makeup artist.
James didn't answer the question, but he was looking at Song Weiwei's reaction through the mirror, and he had repeatedly imagined what Song Weiwei's reaction would be when others asked about the relationship between the two of them, and it was going to come true today.
Song's smile dimmed for a moment.
"No, we're not. Song Weiwei's voice was not loud, but every word made James have mixed feelings. "We're just partners. ”
The makeup artist curled James's beautiful brown hair with a curling iron, and didn't feel anything strange, but teased the two: "I see that you have an interesting look in your eyes." ”
Song Weiwei found that if you really like someone, your eyes will not be fake, and your body movements will not be controlled by reason, you will be attracted to the other party little by little and slowly get closer to the other party.
The makeup artist pierced her admiration that she thought she had hidden well, and this two emotions of being shy and scared kept hitting her brain, making her almost do extreme behavior, that is, she really wanted to run away from the door.
Li Chixian quietly observed them on the side, he knew that Zhan and Song were having an affair underground, and he also learned from Michael that Song Weiwei was extremely opposed to a public relationship, but at the moment he thought that Song Weiwei would take out that disguise of not caring, but Li Chixian found that if the topic continued, Song Weiwei would definitely mess up.
"I don't think so. Lee Chi-hyun's voice was telling everyone in the room: "Miss Song is good-looking, there must be a handful of men lined up in the United States waiting for you to agree to their courtship." ”
Song Weiwei began to think about whether to follow Li Jixian's words and continue, but she didn't, she couldn't say anything about hurting each other's feelings in front of James.
"You've won the prize. Song Weiwei didn't say any more, James also looked away, and after a while, Li Chixian broke the silence: "I'll send you out." ”
"I'm sorry. With a hint of guilt in his tone, Lee Chi-hyun took Song Weiwei around to a secluded path behind the RV, where he could avoid everyone's eyes and return to the film crew.
"I know you're talking a lot of things together. Lee Chi-hyun's apology was only met with a sigh, and Song Weiwei would not hide his emotions, which made Lee Chi-hyun even more embarrassed. "Or should I explain to them that you actually like James very much?"
Song waved her hand slightly, this kind of approach didn't make any sense at all, she looked much better than just now, and after taking a few steps forward, she stopped and said goodbye to Li Chixian: "Just send it here, I'll go back by myself." ”
"Hmm. ”
“…… I know you're doing it for James' good, and so is Michael, and I'm joining his team to help get his life back on track. Li Chixian looked at Song Weiwei's back when he stopped, "So I'm sorry that what I said just now may hurt you." ”
Li Chixian didn't do anything wrong at all, and Song Weiwei knew very well that the problem was on himself.
