Chapter 55 Lies
Seeing Xia Dale's incredulous expression, Quan Lingyao smiled and continued:
"And then there's the countless delicious foods there."
The stagehand seemed to have thought of something good, revealing her cute dimples.
"The person in charge said that they have hundreds of thousands of dishes in total, and one day I will try them all."
"I didn't realize you were such a foodie!" The female celebrity next to her had also managed to snag a ticket and was in a great mood, so she came over to tease the makeup artist.
"Hehehe, before An Hua appeared, I used my savings to buy all the flavors of nutrient solution." The young makeup artist smiled shyly.
"He's really hiding his true abilities!"
"Oh right, I also want to try on the clothes there and try on the makeup there. It feels so different."
"Yeah, I want to go too! It would look even better in those clothes when filming a movie!"
As they explained, the two of them started chatting away, leaving Xia Dale standing there in the cold.
Ultimately, all the information is online, can't you just search for it yourself?
Seeing everyone laughing and chatting, Xia Dale nervously opened the search interface.
Suddenly, all the information she had deliberately ignored and all the information she had deliberately tried not to know came flooding in.
She saw all the information she didn't want to know before: Anhua's air, the food, and Miss Shan's makeup photos that went viral online.
Thinking back to the conditions Shan Shanshan had offered—all-inclusive room and board, and tuition fees provided by her—Xia Dale suddenly realized just how much of a chance she had missed.
She handed over this opportunity to a naive young girl who was new to the world.
"Xiang Wan... how did she get matched with that...?"
"Xia. Dale said to herself."
"No, I'm going to find the young lady right now!"
Just as Quan Lingyao was about to continue her sarcastic remarks, another person hurriedly walked in.
"Hongshen, did you manage to snag one?"
Xia Dale slowly turned around and saw the legendary director Leon Lai, whom she had been thinking about day and night, rushing in excitedly.
"Just got it."
Director Hui Hongshen on set breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he shook his phone at Leon Lai.
"Nice! You don't have much film left, right? After you finish filming, give everyone a break first, and let's go to Anhua to do some research."
The legendary director Leon Lai was completely unpretentious at this moment, just like an ordinary boy next door.
"I watched that anchor's 'Things About Anwar' again the other day. Those employees are definitely extraordinary. When we get to Anwar, I'm going to talk to that person in charge and try to get us an exclusive interview. Didn't you watch it? Every single person's story in it is worth filming. And..."
Once Anwar Ibrahim started talking, Leon Lai became incredibly talkative, going on and on.
Hui Hongshen could only stand aside and smile helplessly.
"Um, Director Leon Lai, hello, I'm Xia Dale, the makeup artist for the female lead in your film."
When dawn breaks, the concepts of "pollution-free" and "Anwar" will no longer matter.
Dawn is the reason she works as a makeup artist here.
Xia Dale cleared her throat and addressed the dawn in what she thought was the most elegant manner.
"Are you a makeup artist?"
When Li Ming heard this introduction, his eyes lit up.
Xia Dale was delighted to see Dawn's attitude.
There is a play!
Maybe Director Leon Lai has heard of me. If I just tell him that I want to go to his film set, wouldn't it all fall into place?
To everyone's surprise, Dawn's next words left Xia Dale stunned.
"Have you seen Anwar's makeup? What do you think of the way it was done? You're the head makeup artist on the Hong Shen film set, so you must be quite capable, right? Can you imitate Anwar's makeup?"
Anwar's makeup?
If I were to go to Leon Lai's film set, would I need to learn Anwar Ibrahim's makeup style?
Does Anwar need to learn to let go of his own makeup style?
Xia Dale stumbled.
Noticing Xia Dale's change, Dawn frowned.
"Is it difficult for you?"
"No, no. To be honest, I even got a chance to go to Anhua to learn makeup."
"Xia. Dale said urgently."
Regardless, let's seize this opportunity first.
As for An Hua, that little bitch Xiang Wan has only been there for a few days and hasn't learned much. If it were me, with my stronger learning ability, I could do the same.
To everyone's surprise, upon hearing this, Li Ming scoffed:
"I don't mind people who are slightly less capable, but I do mind people who have bad character."
“Anwar has never offered any learning opportunities to the outside world, so where did you get them from?”
"I hate people who lie to me more than anything else in my life."
Dawn's gaze was sharp as a knife, and Xia Dale actually took a step back under his gaze.
Even Hui Hongshen frowned:
“Ms. Dale, I had no idea when you had the opportunity to study at Anwar.”
The stagehands and makeup artists nearby also started whispering among themselves.
Quan Lingyao then spoke up loudly:
“Director Dawn, before you came, Ms. Xia Dale didn’t even know why we were fighting over Anwar’s tickets.”
“When I told her about Anwar’s pollution-free practices, it was as if she was hearing about it for the first time.”
Upon hearing this, Dawn looked at Xia Dale with even more disdain.
"Anyone with questionable character, regardless of their abilities, will never be hired by my film crew."
Bang!
These words struck Xia Dale like a heavy hammer, leaving her mind reeling.
She swallowed hard and forced herself to speak:
“I’m not lying. I did makeup for Shan Shanshan, the eldest daughter of the Shan family, before. She appreciated my skills and wanted me to learn from Anhua Film Studio before doing her makeup again. I was on set at the time, so I didn’t agree on the spot.”
"Oh? You mean you can agree to that?"
When Li Ming thought of the first anchor who broadcast An Hua's story, Shan Shanshan, it seemed that this makeup artist named Xia Daer really knew something. His expression softened a bit.
"Yes."
Xia Dale reluctantly lied. Whether it would work or not, she figured she had to try anyway.
"If what you're saying is true, I apologize; I was a little skeptical of you just now."
Leon Lai's apology was also very straightforward.
"This is my contact information. If you can really study at Anwar, you are welcome to join my new drama anytime. Hong Shen and I will also be going to Anwar in a while, and we will ask you for advice then."
“Okay!” Xia Dale’s eyes were full of surprise. She almost eagerly added Dawn’s contact information.
The others also began to whisper among themselves. But when they looked at Xia Dale again, there was a barely perceptible hint of awe in their eyes.
Of everyone, only Quan Lingyao stared intently at Xia Dale, her gaze deep and unfathomable.
Only Xia Dale heard Xia's mutterings.
"Xiang Wan...?"
