Chapter 295 Inside the conference hall, there was a private room
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhao Peier finally apologized in English, then ran out of the studio crying.
Rola was quite shocked. She never expected Ning Yao to go to such lengths for her sake, offending her colleague in the process.
Ning Yao picked up the paper script in her hand, looking at the lines, actions, and expressions she would be performing later, trying to get a feel for the role.
"Ms. Ning, thank you." Rola walked up to Ning Yao and thanked her in fluent English, deeply moved.
"Just call me Boss Luo here, my stage name is Luo Xiyao," Ning Yao replied with a smile.
She had a beautiful smile, especially when she was wearing a moon-white Chinese-style cheongsam. She looked charming and cute, with a touch of girlish innocence.
At this moment, she was completely different from the stern and solemn woman she had been just moments before; she seemed like a completely different person.
Rola stared blankly at Ning Yao, filled with admiration.
He truly deserves to be called a dedicated and excellent actor. Boss Ning will definitely become an outstanding figure in the industry in the future.
The director, holding a megaphone, called for the actors to take their positions, while the stagehands were ready, clapping clappers on the side.
This was Su Wanwan's first meeting with the young commander. Su Wanwan stood under the cherry blossom tree, surrounded by falling pink petals, creating a very romantic scene that planted a seed of love in the young commander's heart.
With the support of the environment and the guidance of her senior, Tang Xiaoge, Ning Yao quickly got into character.
Those beautiful, clear eyes held the innocent shyness of a teenage girl, sparkling with a captivating charm that made anyone who saw Su Wanwan's heart flutter, and Tang Xiaoge was no exception.
The director quickly yelled "Cut!" and the shot was perfect in one take.
In the following shots, Ning Yao acted extremely naturally, blending seamlessly into the character of Su Wanwan, with her subtle expressions perfectly executed.
The filming process went smoothly, and all tasks were completed within the time frame planned by the director.
"Luo Xiyao's performance was good." The director specifically praised Ning Yao, his eyes revealing approval, but also a hint of covetousness that was not easily noticed. He hid it well and no one noticed.
Ning Yao nodded slightly and walked off the set without any arrogance or impatience.
Cui Mengmeng had class today, so the task of serving water and taking care of Ning Yao fell to the makeup artist's assistants.
When Ning Yao came off the set, her two assistants quickly stepped forward and handed her the bottled water they had prepared beforehand.
Ning Yao accepted it and said thank you, her smile exceptionally gentle and kind.
She was filming in the afternoon, and her makeup artist team stayed by her side the whole time, without even stepping out of the studio.
She was so engrossed in filming that time seemed to fly by, but the others couldn't watch and had to stand or sit on the sidelines waiting. The process was incredibly boring, and they yawned constantly.
Rola's assistant, who was only a little over 1.5 meters tall, yawned seven or eight times.
After finishing filming, Ning Yao's first action was to send away her makeup artist team.
"I don't have any more scenes to film, and I can remove my makeup myself. You guys should go home and rest early."
"Okay, we'll be going now. Please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."
Rola didn't stand on ceremony with Ning Yao. Ning Yao's face didn't have any special effects makeup; it was just like her usual makeup when she went out, except for some characteristics of the historical period. It was easy to remove with a quick wipe of makeup remover oil.
After saying that, she left the studio and drove home.
The remaining makeup artist assistants remained standing still. They were bodyguards hired by Ning Chen and Ning Moran to protect Ning Yao. Their makeup skills were average, but they were skilled in martial arts.
Their orders were to protect Ning Yao; they could not leave until Ning Yao returned home.
When the director passed by Ning Yao, he suddenly stopped and took the initiative to talk to her about the role.
“I think there are a few places where your acting is still a bit lacking. Your micro-expressions are already perfect, almost like you're playing yourself, but…” The director stopped there, looking troubled.
"Please feel free to speak up. I will humbly accept any suggestions that are helpful for filming."
"It's not very convenient here. Shall we go to the inner conference room to talk?" the director said to Ning Yao after thinking for a moment.
Ning Yao glanced at the time; it wasn't too late. After a moment's thought, she agreed.
Several makeup artist assistants followed, but were stopped by the director.
“We’re here to discuss the play. You guys aren’t from our company and haven’t signed a confidentiality agreement, so we can’t let you listen in.”
The assistants didn't take the director's words seriously at all; they only listened to Ning Yao.
So the assistants stayed by Ning Yao's side, seemingly unmoved.
Seeing the director's face turn ashen, Ning Yao turned to her assistants with a sigh and said, "I'm going in to discuss the scene. I'll be right back. You can wait for me at the door. You don't need to go in."
"Let them go home. They don't need to put on makeup anymore. Aren't they tired of standing here?"
The director glanced curiously at the several plain-looking, muscular female assistants. Such appearances were truly rare in the capital; they looked more like bodyguards than makeup artists…
It seems that Luo Xiyao comes from a good family. If he can find a way to get close to Luo Xiyao, he might win the heart of a rich and beautiful woman. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
The director was secretly plotting a bad idea, but he didn't show it on his face.
He went into the conference room first, leaving the door open, waiting for Ning Yao to enter.
"You guys go back, it's alright." Ning Yao said before entering the inner conference room and following the director.
The assistants looked at each other, but ultimately did not leave, standing guard outside the conference room door like telephone poles.
Tang Xiaoge, who was not far away, was about to go into the dressing room to change clothes when she heard the commotion from Ning Yao's side. She turned around and glanced at Ning Yao, her eyes deep.
Ning Yao was inside for a long time, about half an hour, and she couldn't hear a sound at all, whether it was because the soundproofing was good or because there was really no noise.
The assistants couldn't stand it any longer and went up to knock on the door, but there was no response.
The door was locked from the inside, and it would be difficult to open from the outside without a key.
Just as one of the assistants raised his leg to kick the door, a clear male voice rang out, followed by Tang Xiaoge's figure.
"what happened?"
“Our artist has been inside for a long time, and there has been no movement. No one answers when we knock on the door. We are worried that something has happened.”
"No need to kick the door, I have the key." Tang Xiaoge quickly called her assistant and asked him to open the conference room door.
After the door opened, the assistants entered the room before Tang Xiaoge, but they didn't see Ning Yao or the director.
The assistants were instantly panicked, and large beads of sweat could be seen on their foreheads.
That's the boss they're supposed to protect! If something happens to him, will they still be able to make a living as bodyguards?
"Is there another exit here?" the assistant asked while carefully examining the interior of the conference room. Sure enough, he found a hidden compartment with a cabinet door about 1.6 meters high.
There were clearly no other entrances or exits to the conference room; they must be inside.
The assistant, completely disregarding the potential damage to Startrace Entertainment's public property, kicked the door several times with force.
After a couple of heavy blows, the cabinet door opened with a bang, and Ning Yao and the director were indeed inside...
