CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: MAKEUP AND COSTUME TEST PHOTO

Sometimes the world is small, and you might run into acquaintances at any moment.

Mu Yan looked at the beautiful woman in the Empress’s costume and, after focusing for a moment, realized she was the popular film actress Wang Linjia.

An outstanding actress with both looks and talent.

The only thing she lacks is a trophy to acknowledge her ability.

In a previous film, Wang Linjia and Zhou Lifen played opposing roles, and at that time, Mu Yan was already Zhou Lifen’s stand-in, so she had interacted with her.

Wang Linjia had a bad temper, but she wasn’t considered a bad person, just didn’t get along with Zhou Lifen.

It was said to be because Zhou Lifen snatched the Best Actress title from her, so she bore a grudge.

"Sister Lin Jia, hello." Mu Yan greeted her proactively.

"Who’s your sister? I don’t have Zhou Lifen’s luck to have a sister like you," Wang Linjia sneered, turned her face away, and haughtily walked toward the door.

The other actresses all scrutinized Mu Yan. Was she Zhou Lifen’s person?

Seeing Wang Linjia’s disdain for Mu Yan, they were not foolish enough to oppose her.

None of them bothered with Mu Yan, and they left the dressing room following Wang Linjia’s steps.

The dressing room suddenly became quiet.

Luo Yao, seeing everyone was gone, said quietly, "I used to think this Wang Linjia was straightforward and neat, and I quite liked her, but now I see her temper is just too bad."

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Mu Yan glanced at her, "It’s normal for her not to like me."

As for the reason, she didn’t explain but instead looked at the female stylist beside her and asked, "Could you help me with the makeup?"

The female stylist looked to be in her thirties, with a delicate appearance, and remained calm throughout, seemingly accustomed to the confrontations between actresses.

She nodded slightly, "No problem, my last name is Wen, you can call me Sister Wen."

With a gesture of her eyes, she indicated, "Your costume was just sent over from the props department, on the chair in front of the first fitting room; go change into it first."

Mu Yan was a bit surprised—how did she know which role she was playing? It was probably notified by the props department, right?

Additionally, she looked somewhat familiar, maybe it was just a friendly face.

She nodded and thanked her, "Okay, thank you!"

She took the costume and went into the fitting room.

Before long, Mu Yan came out of the dressing room wearing a red wide-sleeved flowing fairy gown.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she let out a breath of relief; the clothes seemed to fit well.

She sat down at the makeup table and said to Sister Wen, "Sister Wen, sorry to trouble you."

Sister Wen looked at the girl in the mirror; she seemed just a little over twenty.

With large, spirited apricot eyes, a small, delicate face, dimples faintly visible on her cheeks, and a slender, graceful figure—not much different from the beautiful women of ancient times.

She lifted Mu Yan’s chin, examined her face, and said, "Your skin is quite good."

She picked up a spray and misted Mu Yan’s face to start the makeup application.

The whole styling took over an hour, after which Mu Yan left the dressing room and headed toward the director.

The accessories she wore were light and nimble, not as complex as Wang Linjia’s, which made her steps quite brisk.

Chen Zhou had just finished explaining the scene to the actors and saw Mu Yan coming over.

He gave her a glance and said to the assistant director beside him, "Take her to get her makeup photo taken."

"Alright," the assistant director replied and looked at Mu Yan, "Please follow me."

"Okay," Mu Yan followed him forward, unable to resist glancing back at Chen Zhou.

Isn’t Director Chen known to be very strict? But today, wasn’t he too lenient with her?

It even made her feel that he didn’t really care about the role of Princess Qingcheng.
