It took a good while for Ding Yiman to recover. Her face wasn’t scratched, but it was all swollen from her slapping it. She definitely wouldn’t be able to film that morning.
Ding Yiman knew she had been sabotaged. She didn’t suspect the makeup artist, though. "Director, you have to stand up for me on this."
Gui Kairong recalled what had happened with Yunyi that morning. Looking at Ding Yiman’s swollen face, he seemed to understand something. He gave a few instructions to the people following him, and one of them, leading others, hurried toward the makeup room.
By the time Zhang Xueyan realized what was happening, those people had already disappeared. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she broke out in a cold sweat from anxiety.
Fearing the makeup artist hadn’t stowed the item away properly and it might be found in a search, implicating her as well, she quickly walked out, intending to leave temporarily and lie low.
Yunyi watched from a short distance, taking in all of Zhang Xueyan’s actions. She’s young, after all, and couldn’t keep her composure. Leaving now would only make her more suspicious—she doesn’t even understand that much.
Seeing that Yunyi had already finished her makeup, Gui Kairong decided to move her scenes forward. In any case, Ding Yiman clearly wouldn’t be able to film that morning.
A crew member approached Gui Kairong and said, "Director, everything is ready."
Gui Kairong delegated the matter to his assistant and then returned to his seat. The expression on his face was terrifying, causing the staff beside him to hardly dare breathe.
Yunyi’s acting was truly admirable. If her co-actors didn’t make mistakes, her scenes were usually completed in a single take.
Gui Kairong particularly enjoyed filming Yunyi’s scenes. Before shooting, he would explain the key points and tell her what kind of effect he wanted to achieve. Yunyi could almost always deliver it, from her facial expressions to her physical movements—exactly as he envisioned.
All the morning’s scenes were completed, except for Ding Yiman’s.
