Caught in Affairs with Superstar

Wen Bing said, "Ugh, I really don’t know what about this guy caught your fancy."

"Trust me, once you actually see him act, you’ll feel the same way I do," Zhou Yun said.

At night, a group of people had a meeting in the conference room.

They discussed the script and some issues related to filming.

This play, like "Life," basically had no other actors; it was originally a solo performance by Zhou Yun, and now they’ve added Yu Zhiyang.

Besides, Wen Bing said, "Do you want to add a few more people into it? When you live in the countryside, it’s not always just you; there are neighbors, friends."

"Anything is fine." Zhou Yun had an attitude of indifference now, as she had gradually found her groove these days, "It’s fine either way, whether alone or with others."

Upon hearing what Zhou Yun said, Wen Bing let out a long sigh of relief.

He certainly understood what Zhou Yun meant by this.

Wen Bing said, "Over with Yu Zhiyang, should you teach him, or should I?"

Zhou Yun replied, "Of course you should. Don’t think about slacking off by tossing all the work to me; you’re the director."

Wen Bing chuckled.

Zhou Yun added, "Don’t think of him as my person; just treat him as one of your actors."

Wen Bing sighed and said, "It’s not that easy."

"Just overcome it yourself," Zhou Yun said, "On set, I can only focus on myself; I can’t worry about someone else."

"Alright, I got it."

"And also, I see you haven’t prepared my clothes. Am I supposed to put them together myself?"

"You’ll have to do it yourself." Wen Bing said, "I trust you."

Zhou Yun was speechless.

"I suppose I also have to do my own makeup and hairstyle?"

"Go ahead and do it yourself." Wen Bing smiled, "You understand yourself the best."

Zhou Yun said, "...Alright."

Zhou Yun accepted all that Wen Bing said.

After all, it’s not a play that requires special makeup or hairstyles; it’s supposed to be a slow-paced, very everyday kind of story.

Zhou Yun thought for a long time, thinking maybe she should just go with a natural look.

But with a completely natural face, she wasn’t sure if she could handle all the shots.

Zhou Yun hesitated for a long time and finally decided to call Li Chunhong.

This was the makeup artist she met in the "Heart Inquiry" crew, and they’ve been in close contact ever since.

She trusted him a lot.

After hearing about Zhou Yun’s situation, Li Chunhong said, "I’ll come over tomorrow to take a look."

When Zhou Yun heard this, she felt it was a bit excessive.

"No need, Teacher Li, it’s pretty remote here. I just wanted you to see if I can design it myself."

Li Chunhong replied, "Alright, I really need to see it in person to know. I happen to be free these two days, so I’ll come over."

When someone says they’re coming, they truly come.

Zhou Yun felt especially embarrassed when she received him.

"I’m sorry to make you come all this way, it’s troublesome."

The key issue was that the crew hadn’t hired him.

"You guys are really something, a renowned director and a famous actor, filming in such a remote place and working under such tight constraints, unable to even afford a makeup artist," Li Chunhong teased as soon as he met them.

Although his words were sharp,

Zhou Yun laughed.

"Sigh, mainly it’s because the production company thinks this film won’t make much at the box office, so they’re reluctant to fund us. We just have to scrimp on everything, from clothes to makeup, and I’ve been relying on myself."

Li Chunhong said, "I have a job in a couple of days and can’t stay here long. I’ll help you set the style in these two days, and you can follow it later."

Zhou Yun quickly said, "Thank you so much!"

Li Chunhong said, "Stop thanking me, you’re such a big shot, letting the production company be so stingy without throwing a fit."

Zhou Yun replied, "I just feel it’s not worth arguing over such trivial matters. If it truly comes down to it, I’ll pay out of my own pocket. Wen Bing stretched out this bunch of people for the film, and it’s not easy. If we don’t shoot it now, who knows when we’ll have the opportunity again. We’re indeed working on a tight budget; every penny is going into the production."

She was only taking a nominal fee, mainly signing on for a share of the future box office.

Li Chunhong spent three hours with Zhou Yun in the hotel room, listening to her ideas and hearing the film’s concept.

He pondered for a long time, then, with a pen, sketched on paper for dozens of minutes, producing a few sketches.

He handed them to Zhou Yun.

"Take a look."

Zhou Yun received them, and her eyes immediately lit up.

Li Chunhong had designed three styles for her.
