On Friday afternoon, Jiang Ning just came out of the company.
She received a call from an unknown number and without thinking much, she immediately answered the call.
"Hello, is this Jiang Ning?"
A gentle female voice came from the other end.
Jiang Ning immediately thought that she was a colleague who worked with Song Nuan to do make-up for actors, so she said politely: "Yes, I am Jiang Ning."
"Then can you come over now? I have something to do tonight, and the actors in the night scenes don't have anyone to put on makeup."
"Now?"
"Yes, I'll tell you in advance how to behave with them."
"Okay, send me the address."
The other party sent the address, but Jiang Ning didn't have time to go home, so she took a taxi on the roadside and went to the set.
However, she never expected that the heroine of this drama would be Mo Feifei.
Jiang Ning went straight to the actor's dressing room and saw the woman who was talking to her on the phone.
She is a very ordinary mother who is not tall.
"Jiang Ning, you have to work hard today. Another makeup artist was sick and just went to the hospital. I had no one to take care of my children at home, so..."
"Okay, I know. Just tell me the process and I'll do my best."
Although Jiang Ning said she was helpless, now that she was here, she didn't want to give up.
"There aren't many night scenes. I think we can finish work at nine o'clock. We mainly do makeup for important supporting characters, and then the protagonists. These are all makeup tools,"
As she spoke, she took out a large cosmetic bag from the corner.
"This belongs to Song Nuan. I brought it to her from another crew."
"Okay, okay, thank you."
After a brief warning, the woman handed her a mask and left the set.
Jiang Ning followed the example of their makeup artists, put on a mask, followed her usual makeup routine, and opened the makeup tools and spread them out on the dressing table.
As soon as everything was ready, I heard someone talking outside.
"That meal in the morning was really unpalatable. I won't be eating it on the set tomorrow."
"Order one for me."
"no problem."
The two of them came in without looking at Jiang Ning, and sat down at the two dressing tables respectively.
They don't put on makeup, they just come off the show and need to take off their makeup.
Jiang Ning is also good at using lotion one by one.
By the time they went out and took a short rest, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Ning's stomach growled because she didn't have time to eat.
She wanted to go outside to find something to eat, but she was not familiar with the terrain in this area.
After taking only two steps, he returned to the dressing room.
Thinking of the two actors talking about ordering rice, she opened the app and bought an egg fried rice.
This is easy to make and should be delivered soon.
The process of waiting for food was also very painful. During this period, she called Song Nuan and expressed her heartache that the work was very hard.
Not long after I hung up, many actors came in one after another, all of whom needed to put on makeup.
But her meal hasn't arrived yet.
Jiang Ning couldn't take care of it anymore, so he had to work first.
"Which makeup artist are you? How come I haven't seen you before?"
Because he was wearing a mask, only his eyes were exposed. His long hair, which was usually loose, was rarely tied into a bun today.
The whole person looks clean and refreshing, with a hint of mystery.
"I am new here."
Jiang Ning was not timid. After speaking, she started applying makeup.
"Newbie?"
The first one I transformed was a man. He was quite handsome and very familiar. He opened his mouth and kept talking.
Jiang Ning's chest was pressed against her back due to hunger, and she didn't want to speak.
She hummed and said nothing else.
Unexpectedly, the actor waiting to put on makeup over there was flipping through his phone, but suddenly turned his head and stared at her.
"Not an actor, right?"
Jiang Ning was speechless and rolled her eyes.
After applying the base makeup here, I immediately went to prepare it for him.
Just then, a familiar voice faintly peeped out: "I have a night show tonight and I can't go home. Why don't you come and see me."
Mo Feifei?
Jiang Ning's hand slipped and the cotton pad fell from her hand, falling right on the actor's crotch.
For a moment, Jiang Ning blushed with embarrassment.
Fortunately, she is wearing a mask.
The actor picked it up in time and returned it to her.
A speechless event that ended briefly.
I hurriedly and slowly finished the makeup for the two male actors.
Jiang Ning took her cell phone when she had time to see where her dinner was.
Just in time, the delivery man called.
"I'm going out right now."
Jiang Ning learned that her takeout could not be brought to the set and she had to go to the door to pick it up. After hanging up the phone, she ran out. Unexpectedly, she bumped into someone who was coming back from the door just as she left.
"oops!"
The other party was a woman, and she was wearing a costume.
When she screamed, Jiang Ning recognized it was Mo Feifei.
I ignored it and hurriedly went to get my meal.
When she came back, the dressing room was very busy.
She was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, joking with her assistant.
Jiang Ning saw this and felt that it was not suitable to eat.
At this moment, her assistant looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Hey, my sister is in a hurry to go back. Please remove her makeup quickly."
Jiang Ning glanced at the assistant, put the lunch box in the bag aside, and walked towards Mo Feifei.
In the makeup mirror, Mo Feifei saw at a glance that something was wrong with the makeup artist.
When Jiang Ning started to remove her makeup with a makeup remover, she accidentally met Mo Feifei's eyes.
Just when she was feeling a little uneasy, Mo Feifei raised her hand and pulled off her mask.
Jiang Ning paused and slowly straightened up.
Mo Feifei sat motionless and suddenly sneered: "Humph, who do I think I am? I bump into someone without apologizing, so it's you."
Jiang Ning was surprised that this woman didn't get angry after seeing her.
Instead, he waited for her to continue removing her makeup.
"What are you doing standing around? My time is so precious, can you afford to waste it?"
Jiang Ning was still stunned, and Mo Feifei glanced sideways at her.
For the sake of Song Nuan, even if Jiang Ning wanted to give up her choice, she had to think carefully.
Swallowing her displeasure, she continued to carefully pour the lotion onto the cotton pad and remove her makeup bit by bit.
"Jiang Ning, are you that short of money? You work at Blue Label during the day and do makeup with the actors on the set at night."
Jiang Ning's face burned when he said the mocking words.
After the mask was pulled off, she never wore it again.
Right now, the incandescent lamp next to the makeup mirror illuminated her cheeks, which were white and rosy, and her skin looked like a hard-boiled egg that had just been shelled.
In Mo Feifei's eyes, she was extremely jealous.
Because there were other actors taking a rest in the dressing room, she had no choice but to endure the attack in order to maintain a good image.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was silent, she was unwilling to give in and continued to taunt: "The pay for doing makeup for actors is very low. How about I introduce you to a job that costs more than 10,000 yuan a night and only works for three hours a day."
Jiang Ning's hand, which was applying lotion to hers, paused suddenly and did not continue.
"Miss Mo, you're okay."
After she finished speaking, Jiang Ning turned around without looking at her and went to remove makeup for another actor.
Behind her, Mo Feifei's eyes like poisonous snakes were staring at her back, as if staring at a hole.
Just as she was about to talk, her co-star in the play, the tall and handsome male protagonist, walked into the dressing room.
