I used rebirth to bury his captivating gaze.

Chapter 137 The group leader defends the male team leader and scolds Yu Mei for not grooming her eye

Yang Yumei hesitated for a moment, then, without thinking twice, she had the makeup artist remove her hair that had been styled by the previous makeup artist, and then left.

This time she really couldn't stand it anymore. She wasn't a main character or an important actor; she was just a minor extra. She had never encountered such a makeup artist in any of her foreground scenes, deliberately making things difficult for her. The female head of this makeup artist group was deliberately trying to smear Yu Mei.

Before leaving, Yu Mei turned back and took a close look at the makeup artist's face. There was a small black mole, about the size of a fingertip, on the center of her left eyebrow.

After Yu Mei left, the makeup artist and her companions exchanged glances, then she pursed her lips, gave a forced smile, and whispered to the small-faced makeup artist next to her, "..."

"It's good that she left. I was going to use her dark eyebrows as an experiment. Once I've mastered eyebrow drawing, I can do makeup for big stars and earn several times more money. She's just strange. She shouldn't be so beautiful, with such distinctive dark eyebrows and that pretty white face."

"Hey, that female extra is really pretty, but it's a shame she's just an extra," said another woman with a small, fist-sized face.

"What a waste! If she could still be a big star, I'd kneel down before her. She's just arrogant and self-important; she's just got a face that's good at seducing men."

"Boss, why did you and your brother-in-law get divorced? Why don't you go and beat up that mistress?"

"Alright, stop arguing about what you can't win with."

"Sorry, sis, but the girl who was bothering my brother-in-law looks a bit like that extra from earlier. Sis, do you think we were a little too harsh on that extra?"

"You even said to be careful of being overheard. You think you're so kind-hearted? Remember, kindness gets you bullied. I was so good to that woman before, and she still broke up my family and became a third party."

The makeup artist continued her threats, saying, "That extra was named Yang Yumei. I know she's a foreground actress. Next time I see her, I'll definitely shave off all her eyebrows."

"Sister, no, that would be a mistake, an abuse of power for personal gain, and we'd lose our jobs too."

"Hey! What I mean is I have to get her eyebrows done next time. I can tell she really relies on those thick, willow-leaf eyebrows to live. I need to deflate her arrogance!"

Although they spoke softly, the others could still hear the gist of what they were saying, especially He Yan, the group leader.

He Yan knew what was going on from the start. She knew that this was a deliberate attempt to frame Yang Yumei, an extra in her boss Wei Daming's group of female actors. But she couldn't understand why they didn't know each other. Now that she had heard the reason, she knew that in order to keep her job as a follower of her boss Wei Daming, she had to side with the powerful. Yang Yumei was just a small extra.

Then He Yan pretended not to hear what they were saying, smiled at the makeup artist, and went to the filming location not far away. The crew members went to the set.

When Yu Mei returned to her residence, she posted the play assignments in the group chat at 8 PM. The group leader, Wei Daming, arranged for other girls of the same age as Yu Mei to play the roles, but not Yang Yu Mei.

Yu Mei knew what was going on. She didn't say anything and waited a few more days. The casting director didn't arrange any scenes for her, and her name wasn't in the casting call list for the foreground actors.

Later, I learned that the two group leaders were colluding with each other; they were colleagues and close friends who often ate together.

Yu Mei then told Wang Yufeng about this via WeChat. Wang Yufeng also saw that Yu Mei hadn't arranged anything for Yang Yu Mei in the announcement group for several days in a row.

Wang Yufeng then texted her on WeChat, “We extras have a low status in the film crew, so we are inevitably looked down upon during filming. Even if we are bullied, we have to stand up for ourselves. Who told you to be so lowly? If we were big stars, even the makeup artists on the film crew would have to carry our shoes.”

"Alright, I've already told you what's good and bad. Don't act impulsively; prioritize the bigger picture. I can see you have big dreams. Just consider this a lesson, a learning experience. Right now, focus on filming more movies and earning more money to send to your family. I have an elderly mother who's over eighty years old living with my eldest sister, and I'm also sending her money. Say something nice to Wei Daming, and tell him not to do it again."

Yu Mei laughed and then said, "This is the last time. I must protect my eyebrows, otherwise I won't be able to face anyone. My beautiful eyebrows are my favorite. I'll make them all wait and see how I deal with them in the future."

"Ah! Yumei, don't do anything illegal. I'm only saying this to you because I consider you a sister. Alright, I have a filming schedule tonight. You should go and tell the casting director. There are a lot of scenes for extras these days, it's a real pity you don't have any scenes."

Then Wang Yufeng's voice messages disappeared from WeChat.

During filming, Yang Yumei met Wang Yufeng, who was in the same registration group. Wang Yufeng said that she had been filming here for more than ten years and had been in Wei Daming's group ever since.

Everyone knows perfectly well that these are all fellow Northeasterners who came to Wei Daming's filming registration group, all hoping to get more extra roles!

After listening to Wang Yufeng's advice, Yang Yumei sent a private message to Wei Daming, the group leader, admitting that her behavior at the scene was inappropriate. She promised to be obedient next time. She said this, but secretly she knew she would resist again if anyone wanted to trim her eyebrows.

After Yu Mei finished speaking, she sent him another message, and the 100-yuan WeChat red envelope appeared, but he didn't accept it. Two days later, the red envelope was returned.

Yu Mei wants to switch groups; watching He Yan on set makes her uncomfortable. She has to find a way to feel comfortable, even if it's uncomfortable, but sometimes watching him while eating makes it hard to swallow.

Even if I replaced the extras with a hundred, it would still be the same old story, just a different name for the same people.

When Yu Mei was in the first group of extras, the group leader assigned two young women to the group most often each day. One was Wang Dalai, the likable girl who was the on-site leader, and the other was the girlfriend of another on-site leader.

These two young girls had a lot of scenes as extras, and Wang Dalai would spend all his free time bothering one of them. The other girl would sometimes give actor's badges to the extras after filming wrapped.

The second group, whose leader was blatantly biased, made Yu Mei go to the rest area during night scenes, while the other girls stayed in the rest area, lying down and chatting in the dark. That was because ever since Yu Mei joined the extras, she hadn't given any of the men a kind look, always staring at them with a cold expression.

The third group, led by Wei Daming, is no different; they're all black crows!

Yu Mei wanted to go back home. Her husband, Chen Lixin, repeatedly asked her to return and settle down, but she said she wanted to give her family a better life and fulfill her own beautiful dream! But she didn't know when this beautiful dream would come true.
