Chapter 806: Chapter 806: Jasmine Clark is in Big Trouble (4)
The makeup artist had seen countless actors with good acting skills, but had never seen someone apply their acting in this way. She sneered, not waiting for Jasmine Clark to continue her complaints, and said directly to Connor Ford, “Director Ford, I’m honored that you thought of me for your new film and called me to collaborate. I specifically flew back from abroad as I wanted to do a good job, but now it seems impossible. I’m sorry, Director Ford, I can’t take this job. If there’s a chance, let’s collaborate on the next film.”
“Anna, don’t be . What exactly happened? Talk to me. If there’s a conflict, we can adjust, clear it up, and it’ll be fine. There’s no need to stop collaborating. You know we’ve worked together so many times, I trust you very much. Your sudden departure is a big problem for me.”
The makeup artist was adamant, “Director Ford, if I could do it, I definitely would have. But I really can’t. Your actor demands to use Feverjioney makeup products, and anything not from Feverjioney results in an allergy. Let me tell you frankly, I don’t have access to Feverjioney’s cosmetics, and she responds with a slap.”
Was it really Jasmine Clark who had hit her? Connor Ford was furious.
The makeup artist was equally enraged and bluntly said, “I’ve been in this industry for over a decade and have worked with numerous top artists. Frankly, not even when I worked for international celebrities have I encountered such disrespectful demands, let alone being hit. Today, out of respect for you, I won’t hold it against her. But as for collaborating, I just can’t work with her. If I tolerated this and continued doing her makeup, I’d have no place in this profession anymore.”
Having said her piece, the makeup artist stormed out.
Connor Ford called after her a few times without success and, with a sullen face, returned to the makeup room.
Jasmine Clark had realized the makeup artist was not someone to trifle with and that she might have caused trouble. But relying on her own status and the good treatment she had received from Connor Ford recently, she still held her head high with an air of innocence. Before Connor Ford could speak, she began to complain, “I did hit her, yes, but it was after she refused to do my makeup and threatened to lodge a complaint. I just lost control because I was upset. If she won’t do it, so be it. You’re an International Renowned Director, Director Ford, there are so many people who want to work with you. If she won’t do it, there are plenty of others who will jump at the job!”
She touched her face and said, “Besides, it’s not like I deliberately tried to make things difficult for her. I really can’t use anything less than Feverjioney products, or my skin will react. The press conference for the launch is in a few days, and I’m expected to be announced to the media as part of the Main Cast. I can’t afford to have an allergic reaction and look awful the first time I appear before the press…”
Connor Ford shook off her hand, disgusted, “You think you can just say no and that’s it? Anan is an Emmy-award-winning top-tier stylist, first-rate at character styling, and I was confident about the actors’ looks with her on board. She was doing makeup for another crew abroad, and it was through my connections that I managed to bring her back! And now you’ve offended her already. Now that she’s quit, where am I supposed to find someone of the same caliber?”
Jasmine Clark was fuming inside, but seeing Connor Ford’s anger, she forced a smile and took hold of his arm again, speaking with a plaintive tone, “I didn’t know she was such a big deal, and just now I wasn’t in a good mood, plus she had that attitude, so I couldn’t help but hit her. If it really comes to it, I’ll apologize to her.”
