Many grumbled to themselves about her, yet they did not dare to voice their complaints aloud .
Yang Mi was high up in the celebrity rankings; she was not someone to be trifled with .
Mu Xi magically got a hold of a small battery-operated fan and directed its wind at Yun Shishi"s face . As for her, she was sweating all over from the sweltering heat .
Her artiste had to film under such stuffy weather with heavy makeup on her face . If she perspired so much that her makeup ended up smudging, she would have to wash away all traces of cosmetics on her face and re-apply them again .
As she would be given close-up shots for the scheduled few outdoor scenes, they could not afford for any flaws to be seen on her face .
If there were any bald spots in her foundation, resulting in an uneven complexion, the quality of the shots could not be guaranteed, and a retake had to be done .
Therefore, Mu Xi held up the small electric fan in one hand and kept fanning Yun Shishi with a folding fan in another .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt The actress was heartbroken to see her a.s.sistant"s face flush from being under the broiling sun . She pushed the fan to her . “Look at you; you"re heating up . Don"t just keep fanning me and mind yourself as well . Please don"t get a heat stroke . ”
Her a.s.sistant was momentarily astonished . Touched by her thoughtful action, she expressed her feelings . “Shishi, I realize that you are a nice person . ”
“Isn"t this normal?”
“How many artistes out there treat their a.s.sistants like real people?” she grumbled . “You haven"t seen everything yet . Many a.s.sistants are their artistes" punching bags; they slap them over the slightest disagreements! As a.s.sistants, we must bear the blame and inconvenience . It"s really tiring! Yun Shishi, you"re different in that you treat me well and are nice to me!”
“… It"s that serious?” She was flabbergasted .
“Have you heard of Yan Bingqing?” Her a.s.sistant tattled in a hushed voice . “Her a.s.sistant stepped on her dress before by accident, and in a fit of anger, she splashed a cup of freshly brewed hot tea on her face . That poor a.s.sistant had blisters immediately surface on her skin . ”
“…” Yun Shishi was dumbfounded . “She"s that vicious?”
“Otherwise, what do you think?” Her a.s.sistant chuckled . “I"m very fortunate to be following you; everyone is so envious of me!”
“Pfft!” She blurted out a giggle .
“What… What are you laughing at?” Mu Xi stared at her, unable to laugh or cry .
She frankly verbalized her thoughts . “Now that you mention it, it sounds just like an emperor"s harem in the ancient times! An artiste is like a concubine, while an a.s.sistant is her maid . The concubines scheme and compete against each other . How interesting . ”
Mu Xi could not help but t.i.tter at that . “Ha ha, exactly! That"s how this industry works!”
She displayed a smile, yet her face was veiled with frost .
Her face was so cold one"s shoulders would instinctively shudder .
She turned around and was surprised to meet Gu Xingze, who was now standing near her . He offered her an ice pack which diffused cooling air . “Here . ”
“Xingze, you"re done with your scenes?” She greeted him cheerily .
Gu Xingze was previously managed by Qin Zhou, and Mu Xi was under the latter"s wing as his a.s.sistant . Thus, she was familiar with the superstar .
The actor nodded to acknowledge the a.s.sistant"s presence . He twisted the cap of a bottle, and furiously consumed the cold water within .
He was dressed in a set of workout clothes and had makeup on his face . Unlike his usual image in front of the camera, right now, he resembled a teenager of 14 or 15 years of age . He had fair skin, translucent eyes, and a scholarly aura as warm as jade, yet none of these suppressed his vitality .
He looked exceedingly handsome .
Entranced by his side-profile when drinking water, Mu Xi"s heart fluttered wildly .
“So handsome…” The bewitched a.s.sistant suddenly shifted her gaze on to her artiste in envy, murmuring, “Shishi, I"m so jealous of you!”
