"I’ll get to see her in a moment." When Qin Yu mentioned Shu Wan, Lin Man looked noticeably displeased, "Every day it’s a limited edition Rolls-Royce picking her up; she must be a big deal."
"Wow, such a delicate princess." Qin Yu responded subconsciously, then walked toward the changing room, "We need to change too, Director will be calling us soon."
As Qin Yu spoke, he was reading the script and didn’t notice the changing room door was slowly opening.
Qin Yu didn’t notice and walked right into it, bumping his forehead against the door frame and gasping in pain.
"Are you okay?" At that moment, a cold, clear female voice sounded, like the first warmth of spring water thawing ice, simple yet stirring one’s heart.
Qin Yu instinctively looked up, a flash of amazement in his eyes, and he stood rooted to the spot.
Qin Yu was suited for period dramas, and he had acted mostly in such productions, working with many actresses, considering himself acquainted with plenty of beautiful women in costume.
But Qin Yu had never seen a beauty like the one before him, her skin as radiant as jade, her grace overflowing, as if she were a beauty who had walked straight out of ancient times.
"Hello?" Seeing Qin Yu stunned and silent, Shu Wan thought his head bump had caused a problem.
"Hello." Recovering, Qin Yu awkwardly scratched his head, "I’m Qin Yu, are you the new actress?"
"I’m Shu Wan, I’ll be playing Su Wan in the drama."
"Ah." Then it dawned on Qin Yu, realizing that the stunning beauty before him was the renowned ’goldmine actress’ brought in with funding, "So, it’s you."
"If you’re okay, I’ll go ahead."
"Alright." Qin Yu stepped aside to let Shu Wan pass, standing still, watching as her figure disappeared from view before he reluctantly looked away.
Seeing Shu Wan’s face, Qin Yu sort of believed the rumors now; such a pretty face, surely no investor could resist.
To have such a beautiful face playing the second female lead, Lin Man was in for some real trouble this time.
Even though Lin Man was also beautiful, the glow of a firefly, indeed, hardly competes with the brightness of the sun and moon.
Not only Qin Yu thought this, but when Shu Wan stepped out, the other crew members also shared the thought.
Everyone was silently shocked at how stunning Shu Wan looked in costume while casting sympathetic glances toward Lin Man.
Shu Wan’s look was already exceptional; if her acting wasn’t terrible, Lin Man would face the biggest crisis since her debut.
Lin Man was well aware of this; she clenched her teeth, nearly snapping her phone case.
"Gosh, why are you still standing here, not ready yet?" Seeing Lin Man not changing, her agent grew anxious, "Look at how proactive Shu Wan is."
"What’s the point of makeup?" Lin Man was nearly furious, "Can you find me a makeup artist who can make me look better than her?!"
Her agent silently glanced towards Shu Wan, then shut his mouth.
Indeed, he couldn’t; it was really a steal for Wang Tian, that bastard, digging out such a gem. Why couldn’t she have such luck?
Lin Man saw through her agent’s plans with just one look and, infuriated, threw her phone into her agent’s chest, "Go find Shu Wan now, ask her if she needs an agent!"
The agent caught the phone, "Oh my lord, don’t say that, how could I possibly abandon you? Listen to me, even if we aren’t as pretty as Shu Wan, we are professionals trained in acting, unlike her who just got involved halfway through. Didn’t you hear what the audience said? Acting is the best facelift. Listen to me, go get your makeup done."
Persuaded reluctantly by her persistent agent, Lin Man finally entered the changing room with a scowl.
Soon, a furious shout came from inside, "What facelift surgery?! Why would I need plastic surgery! Are you calling me ugly?!"
Given the impact Shu Wan had on both Lin Man and Qin Yu, the two spent a full hour more than usual getting ready in makeup and changing clothes.
Director Zhang was outside chain-smoking one after another, almost smoking his brain out, before Qin Yu and Lin Man finally emerged from the changing room.
And indeed, the careful dressing and design made a difference.
Qin Yu was tall and slender, wearing a blue Bat Patterned Costume adorned with a Rhinoceros Horn Belt, his hair tied back with a deep blue band at the back of his head, vibrant and spirited, a young talent on the rise.
