Chapter 148 - Stylist Fiasco
Did Song Ci discover her weakness and worked tirelessly to improve? If so, Lu Jingming was impressed! Rather than resenting Song Ci, he admired her.
Lu Jingming glanced at the poster a few more times. He knew himself very well. Honestly, he was not very fond of acting. To him, the most important things were looks and popularity. Hence, he chose to retain his personal stylist.
However, the audience was displeased. Lu Jingming observed Song Ci’s style and said to his assistant, “Contact Le Hong. Make sure she brings her makeup kit over.”
His assistant was puzzled but did as he was told.
The next morning, Song Ci went to the makeup room. For some reason, Le Hong was not present. Another makeup artist had replaced her.
“Hello. My name is Li Ke. From now on, I’ll be your stylist.”
Song Ci was confused,
“Isn’t Le Hong in charge of me?”
Li Ke explained, “Sister Hong is currently styling the male lead, Lu Jingming. Originally, she was assigned to him.”
Song Ci was still confused.
Yang Haoran was a little displaced.
“That doesn’t matter. Le Hong was in charge of Song Ci from the beginning. Shouldn’t she at least inform us about the change?”
Yang Haoran had been monitoring the audience’s reactions. They were quite pleased with Song Ci’s appearance. If there were sudden changes, a backlash was likely to occur. Song Ci’s image would be severely affected because people may feel deceived!
How could Yang Haoran agree to the sudden changes?
Li Ke was puzzled.
“Didn’t the lead makeup artist call you yesterday?”
“No one contacted us.”
Just as Yang Haoran finished speaking, Le Hong ran in. She pulled Li Ke to the side and told her a few words.
Subsequently, Li Ke left.
Le Hong walked up to Song Ci and said in a low voice, “Please wait for me. Last night, I was suddenly asked to style Lu Jingming. The lead makeup artist only told me about the changes this morning. In the future, I will have to do Lu Jingming’s makeup. So, I’ll have to finish his makeup first before yours. Regardless, you don’t have to worry. Your parts will only be filmed after his scenes. Nothing is going to clash.”
Song Ci nodded.
“Go ahead.”
Yang Haoran frowned.
“Didn’t he bring his own personal stylist?”
Song Ci’s looks could be overshadowed because of this, so Yang Haoran was really unwilling.
Moreover, the male and female leads were the ones who rejected Le Hong in the first place. It was really troublesome to rearrange everyones’ makeup artists. If Lu Jingming could change makeup artists at will, the others would follow suit. They might all request for Le Hong and end up with similar-looking appearances!
As for Le Hong, she dared not refuse Lu Jingming’s request! After all, he was the main lead. People would pay more attention to him. If his fame increased, so would hers. Le Hong did not want to be a nameless stylist forever.
Even though Le Hong was excited, she began to worry about Song Ci. What would happen to her?
When Le Hong asked the lead makeup artist, she said Li Ke would be in charge of Song Ci from here on out. Le Hong could not help but feel guilty. Li Ke had been hired at the last minute and was unfamiliar with Song Ci. Things might not turn out well.
Le Hong was quite fond of Song Ci and she felt like a bully. Besides, she got the opportunity to style Lu Jingming because of Song Ci.
