After confirming that everything was in place, the prop master slowly maneuvered the machine. When Song Qianqian was three meters off the ground, suddenly she plummeted.
"Something's wrong! The safety rope on her came loose!" the prop master shouted in panic.
Although a three - meter fall wasn't extremely high, one could still get injured upon hitting the ground. Qin Qiao'er was standing closest. Seeing Song Qianqian about to land, she couldn't help but reach out to cushion the fall. She didn't want the start of the new play to be delayed because of Song Qianqian. With a "crack", Qin Qiao'er's arm was dislocated.
Song Qianqian, who landed safely, didn't appreciate it at all. She shook off Qin Qiao'er's hand forcefully. "Qin Qiao'er, a disgusting thing like you who doesn't even want to recognize her sister. I don't need your fake kindness!"
"What? Song Qianqian and Qin Qiao'er are sisters?"
"I can't tell at all. Qin Qiao'er is so kind and polite. How could she be sisters with Song Qianqian?"
"I don't think so either, but Qin Qiao'er didn't deny it..."
For a moment, the film crew was abuzz with speculation about the relationship between Qin Qiao'er and Song Qianqian. Meanwhile, Song Qianqian's status in the crew rose a lot. Many people thought that currying favor with Song Qianqian was like currying favor with Qin Qiao'er since they were sisters. Tu Qinqin, who knew the situation, was so angry that she smashed a keyboard.
"I knew Song Qianqian had ill intentions..." Tu Qinqin gritted her teeth in hatred. "No, I have to find a way to get rid of Song Qianqian. This woman is nothing but trouble."
"Sister Qinqin, there's no need to be angry with Song Qianqian. She won't be able to act arrogantly for long. Don't worry. Since she's reluctant to give up the supporting female role, I can have a few peaceful days. Just think of it as spending money to avoid disaster." Qin Qiao'er was very open - minded and didn't take Song Qianqian's actions to heart at all. "Sister Qinqin, there are still some parts of this role that I don't understand. Could you explain them to me?"
"Which parts don't you understand..." Tu Qinqin was immediately distracted.
Getting rid of Song Qianqian was not as important as Qin Qiao'er acting well in the play. While discussing the script with Qin Qiao'er, Tu Qinqin decided to personally supervise the filming on the set until the play was finished.
Qin Qiao'er's dislocated arm had recovered, and the filming of the play was about to start. After paying respects to heaven and earth with Director Zhang and holding the opening ceremony, Qin Qiao'er went to the dressing room with the makeup artist to try on makeup for her role. This was something that should have been completed earlier but was delayed because of Song Qianqian's trouble - making during the martial arts training.
"Sister Qiaoqiao, your skin is so good. You don't need much foundation at all."
The makeup artist looked at Qin Qiao'er's face in surprise and started applying powder to her face with a powder puff. Her movements were so fast that it was dazzling. Suddenly, a timid little girl came into the dressing room. She looked at the makeup artist and said, "Master, I made a mistake when doing Song Qianqian's makeup just now. She flew into a rage and insists that you go and have a look."
"What exactly happened?" the makeup artist looked at Qin Qiao'er hesitantly.
Qin Qiao'er waved her hand generously. "My makeup can wait. You should go and help your apprentice first."
"Thank you, Qiaoqiao." The makeup artist was overjoyed and picked up her makeup case to go to Song Qianqian. The little girl who came to call the makeup artist looked hesitant and flustered.
"Don't be nervous. Do you have something to tell me?" Qin Qiao'er looked at the little girl soothingly with a sweet smile.
The little girl swallowed hard, nervously glanced at the door of the dressing room, and lowered her voice. "Qiaoqiao, I know you. I'm also your fan. It's no secret in the crew that I'm your makeup artist's apprentice. Just now, Song Qianqian deliberately messed up her makeup and scolded me just to see my master..."
"Do you know if she had any contact with your master?" Tu Qinqin was on high alert. Sure enough, there was trouble.
The little girl being questioned immediately looked at Qin Qiao'er timidly. Qin Qiao'er patted Tu Qinqin's arm. "Sister Qinqin, don't be so excited. Keep what you just told me a secret, okay?"
"I know. I just wanted to tell you, Qiaoqiao." The little girl hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Qiaoqiao, can you give me your autograph?"
"Of course. You can have as many autographs as you want." Qin Qiao'er was never stingy with kindness from fans. She winked at Tu Qinqin. "Let my agent go with you to get them, okay?"
Instantly understanding Qin Qiao'er's meaning, Tu Qinqin showed a kind smile and went with the little girl.
Thanks to Qin Qiao'er's kindness, the little girl became a lot bolder. She could even show a cute smile to Tu Qinqin. When Tu Qinqin asked her questions about Song Qianqian, she answered in a soft voice: "Song Qianqian has a really bad temper and doesn't like people getting close to her. She was doing her makeup at..."
"Shh, don't talk." Tu Qinqin suddenly grabbed the little girl.
The two stopped in their tracks and saw the makeup artist and Song Qianqian whispering to each other. They were too far away to hear what they were saying, but they could see their actions. Tu Qinqin saw Song Qianqian scan the makeup artist's phone with her own, and the makeup artist immediately beamed and patted her chest in assurance.
"Sister Qinqin..." the little girl looked at Tu Qinqin timidly.
"Don't worry. Keep what you saw a secret, and don't tell anyone that you came back with me." Tu Qinqin softened her tone and told the little girl. She was secretly wondering what Song Qianqian was up to. After thinking it over, she guessed that Song Qianqian was going to do something to Qin Qiao'er's makeup.
There's an old saying: never offend a makeup artist. Makeup artists have magical hands. They can make an ordinary - looking person look good on screen, and they can also make a good - looking person look bad. There was someone who once offended a makeup artist without knowing the consequences. When the TV series was broadcast, they were criticized so much on the Internet that even their own mother wouldn't recognize them, and they couldn't get rid of the reputation of being a plastic surgery freak ever since.
The little girl nodded obediently and lingered before going to find Song Qianqian.
Tu Qinqin sighed and went back to find Qin Qiao'er. She told Qin Qiao'er what she had seen. "This makeup artist... I should form a team for you. It won't be so troublesome if you bring your own makeup artist when filming in the future."
"Sister Qinqin, I'm not at that level yet." Qin Qiao'er had a clear understanding of her situation.
Without high - quality works to support her, no matter how famous she was, she would just be a fleeting wave in the entertainment industry. At first, she entered the entertainment industry because it was a quick way to make money. Now, Qin Qiao'er really had a feeling of falling in love with acting and wanted to become an ever - green tree in the entertainment industry.
Tu Qinqin patted Qin Qiao'er's shoulder and secretly decided to put the plan of forming a team on the agenda.
Half an hour later, the makeup artist came back with a look of apology on her face. "I'm sorry, Qiaoqiao. I've delayed you for a long time. I'll do your makeup now..." She looked at Qin Qiao'er's face and suddenly said, "Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry. Maybe I have to do your makeup all over again. The makeup style we decided on just now is not very suitable..."
"It's okay. Go ahead." Qin Qiao'er remained polite.
Tu Qinqin stared directly at the makeup artist, ready to teach the makeup artist a lesson as long as she found anything wrong. But the makeup artist behaved normally and didn't give them any chance to catch her out.
