Chapter 299 He's acting strangely, is something on his mind?
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Ning Yao sat upright, her aura suddenly turning cold, and her eyes becoming so fierce that they were chilling.
"This……"
"If you feel our terms are not good, Miss Luo, you can bring them up. Everything is negotiable."
"No need."
Upon hearing Ning Yao's reply, Boss Cai chuckled awkwardly, his face clearly showing his embarrassment.
For some reason, he felt that this girl named Luo Xiyao had an unusual oppressive aura. In just a few words, he felt cold sweat running down his back.
Is she really a freshman at the Communication University of China? How did she develop such courage?
"I've said everything I need to say, and the crew is still waiting for me."
"Goodbye, Mr. Cai." Ning Yao said slowly at the end, then stood up and left.
She was much taller than the average girl, standing at over 1.7 meters, and looked exceptionally tall in casual clothes.
After the door to the boss's office opened, the female makeup artist assistants waiting outside nodded in acknowledgment and then followed Ning Yao toward the elevator.
This group of people was quite large, with Ning Yao walking at the very front, exuding the aura of a big sister.
"Who are these people outside? How long have they been waiting?" Boss Cai looked suspiciously at the commotion outside the door and asked his female assistant.
"They followed Luo Xiyao upstairs the whole time. In my opinion, they don't seem like ordinary makeup artist assistants, but rather like personal bodyguards..." the female assistant answered truthfully.
"Bodyguard?" Boss Cai took out a white embroidered handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Ning Yao returned to the film set, while Tang Xiaoge was still busy in her private dressing room.
Everyone stared at Ning Yao with strange looks in their eyes.
Just now, Actor Tang went to the boss's office with Luo Xiyao, but when he came back, he was alone and his face didn't look too good. I don't know what happened.
"Are you alright? What did Mr. Cai want with you? Was it about Director Feng?" Cui Mengmeng stepped forward to ask, and handed Ning Yao a bottle of fresh, skim milk, which had a mild flavor.
Ning Yao didn't drink the milk right away after receiving it. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She had fallen for a trick once before, so she was extra careful about what she put in her mouth.
This milk was brought by Cui Mengmeng, who is much more reliable than others. She should trust Cui Mengmeng.
Ning Yao quickly dispelled her hesitation, realizing she was being overly suspicious.
Cui Mengmeng realized Ning Yao's concerns and explained with a smile, "Yao Yao, don't worry, I tested the milk and made sure it was okay before giving it to you."
"Yes, I trust your abilities."
Ning Yao blinked, feeling a pang of guilt. How could she have doubted Cui Mengmeng?
After taking a sip of milk, Ning Yao said nonchalantly, "Boss Cai did ask me to come over to talk about this, but we didn't reach an agreement. He wants me to drop the matter and even wants to give me 300,000 yuan as hush money..."
"Three hundred thousand? That's really generous, but this is a matter of principle. You won't agree to it, right?" Cui Mengmeng sighed.
"Of course not, I'm going to change and put on makeup first. You can just leave if you have class later. With them protecting me, you can rest assured." Hearing this, Cui Mengmeng glanced at the female assistants beside Ning Yao.
They may look weak, but their fighting power should not be underestimated. Back in the teachers' apartment, she had personally witnessed them fight Ning Chen. The two sides fought for ten or twenty minutes, and neither of them was at a disadvantage. It was like watching a wonderful martial arts movie live.
“Okay, I’ll stay with you for a while, and then I’ll leave when the time is right.” Cui Mengmeng nodded in agreement.
After getting her makeup and costume done, Ning Yao adjusted her emotions and quickly immersed herself in the role.
……
Two more days have passed, and StarTraces Entertainment has still not dealt with Director Feng's matter. Many people in the company are discussing it privately.
Those who have been with Starry Sky Entertainment for a long time know that Director Feng and Boss Cai have a close relationship. As for what exactly their relationship is, everyone is just speculating. There are rumors that their children are dating and have reached the point of discussing marriage.
Some people say that the two are already family, so it's normal for Mr. Cai to help Director Feng.
Although Director Feng was caught red-handed this time, there wasn't any substantial evidence.
It is indeed a bit far-fetched to conclude that Director Feng is to blame based solely on a water bottle containing sedative ingredients.
On the set of "The Commander's Wife".
"Hey, I heard that Director Feng will be able to return to the company soon. The police can't issue a certificate, and the rumors online are just rumors. They won't cause any big trouble."
"Really? Someone like him, how could he walk by the river for so long without getting his shoes wet?"
"Repeat offenders are always more careful, and besides, so much time has passed, and none of the female celebrities who were victimized have left any evidence. These are all dark histories that they would rather destroy. Who would voluntarily stand up and admit that they were bullied by someone like Director Feng?"
"It's really nice to have a high-level leader backing you up; you don't have to worry about losing your job no matter what you do, tsk."
"Didn't you see Xiao Ge's face? It's as black as the bottom of a pot. I'm afraid he's been wronged this time. Luo Xiyao tricked him!"
Ning Yao was taking a nap with her eyes closed and didn't hear what the people around her were talking about.
Tang Xiaoge arrived earlier than her and went straight into the dressing room after arriving at the set, and didn't make a sound.
"Alright, take a look and see if there's anything that needs adjusting." Rola neatly put away her makeup setting tools and said with a smile.
Ning Yao gave a soft "hmm," looked at herself in the mirror for a while, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Excellent, there's nothing to adjust. Rola's skills are truly impeccable!"
"You flatter me." Rola smiled and stepped aside, giving Ning Yao room to get up.
Although she spoke modestly, the confidence shining in Rola's eyes was clearly visible to everyone.
She is confident in her skills. Although she has always been familiar with Western makeup and rarely does Chinese makeup, she has a talent for it.
Since following Ning Yao, Rola has spent her days studying modern Chinese makeup, putting in a lot of hard work, except for eating and sleeping.
The door to Tang Yingdi's private dressing room opened.
Tang Xiaoge walked out lazily, her eyes filled with a strange coldness.
Ning Yao glanced at him, sensing something was off, but didn't think much of it.
In several rehearsals, Tang Xiaoge's eyes failed to convey the desired effect, subtly revealing a hint of disgust.
Filming could not be delayed because Director Feng was still being held in the police station, and the assistant director was temporarily in charge of the crew.
"Click, Xiao-ge, something's still off with you. Your eyes are too cold. You two are in the honeymoon phase, not the cold phase..."
"Let's pause and adjust for now. And you, Luo Xiyao, uh, your expression is a bit exaggerated. Be more tactful later."
In fact, Ning Yao had no problem and her performance was decent, but for the sake of Tang Yingdi's dignity, the assistant director had to nitpick and give Ning Yao a minor, harmless mistake.
We can't let the people around us know that this NG was because of Tang Xiaoge alone, otherwise where would the Best Actor's face be?
"I understand." Tang Xiaoge's eyes flashed with impatience. She quickly walked to a chair and sat down, taking a big gulp of a whole bottle of mineral water.
After leaving the set, Ning Yao looked suspiciously at Tang Xiaoge, who never made a mistake, and a voice popped into her mind.
He's acting so strange today.
Is something on your mind that's affecting your mood while filming?
However, these are Tang Xiaoge's private matters, and Ning Yao doesn't intend to meddle. She just needs to make sure she doesn't make any mistakes at work.
Suddenly, a series of light yet not light footsteps came from the set, and everyone looked in that direction.
"Director Feng!" Someone jumped up as if they'd been pricked in the butt, greeting him awkwardly.
When Director Feng appeared, the staff present were all speechless with astonishment.
That's why Director Feng's position in the industry is so secure; he even managed to get out of the police station unscathed...
