Chapter 174 Creating Scandals
Chapter 174 Creating Scandals
In this fast-paced world, people who print out photos must be very sentimental, Liang Liangwei thought back to Gu Cheng's character, which was quite in line with her own personality.
"Then I'm quite honored." She smiled slightly.
Seeing that Gu Yan wanted to say something, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Teacher Gu, I'm about to put on my eye makeup. Please close your left eye."
Close your left eye?
Is it still necessary to open the right eye?
Gu Yan understood her meaning after a moment's thought, smiled gently, said "okay," and closed his eyes.
Liang Liangwei began to focus on her work.
Because she was doing makeup for a movie star, and he was the lead actor, she applied the makeup with extra care, and it took her more than 40 minutes to finish.
Gu Yan looked closely at himself in the mirror, his eyes filled with surprise and admiration. Looking at Liang Liangwei, who was tidying up her tools, he said, "Professionals are professionals. Miss Liang's technique is truly excellent."
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "Teacher Gu, you flatter me."
Gu Yan: "I'm serious. Miss Liang, would you like to consider becoming my personal stylist? We can sign a long-term contract, and you can handle all my makeup and styling from now on."
Liang Liangwei said tactfully, "Thank you for your trust, Teacher Gu, but I don't accept long-term contracts; I only do one-off deals."
Gu Yan was somewhat puzzled: "Why? Long-term contracts are very stable, and there's no need to worry about periods without orders, isn't that great?"
Liang Liangwei: "I prefer freedom, and my schedule is pretty full right now. So even if there are gaps in my schedule, it's fine. I'll just treat it as a temporary break for myself."
Gu Yan turned to look at her, his tone quite amused: "You seem to take it all in stride."
As Lan Yin helped Liang Liangwei put the tools back in the box, she chimed in smugly, "Our Sister Wei's order schedule is already booked until after the New Year, she has no worries about being idle!"
Liang Liangwei glanced at her, and when she saw it, she playfully stuck out her tongue.
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow: "Really? It seems Miss Liang is quite famous and has been getting so many orders that she's overwhelmed. No wonder she doesn't want a long-term contract."
Liang Liangwei was a little embarrassed and quickly said, "Teacher Gu is joking. How could I look down on long-term contracts? I just prefer to interact with different people. Besides, the jobs I take include not only styling, but also photography and post-production."
Gu Yan laughed and said, "I was just joking, don't be nervous. You can do photography and post-production? You seem to be a very talented woman. My apologies."
A knock came at the door, and the three stopped talking.
Gu Yan turned towards the door: "Please come in."
The door opened, and Le Peier walked in: "Brother Yan, I came to rehearse our lines with you..."
Upon noticing Liang Liangwei was also there, his expression hardened: "What are you doing here?"
Is not this nonsensical?
Liang Liangwei glanced at her and replied indifferently, "I'll help Teacher Gu with her makeup."
Gu Yan: "You two know each other?"
Le Pei'er said coldly, "We're not familiar with each other."
Liang Liangwei nodded: "We're not familiar with each other."
Just then, Lan Yin finished packing up her toolbox and said to Gu Yan, "Teacher Gu, I've finished your makeup. My task is complete. I won't disturb your work any longer. Goodbye."
Gu Yan stopped her: "You might need to touch up your makeup later, you... you know that, right?"
Liang Liangwei chuckled and said, "I know, I'll be waiting for you at the filming location later."
Gu Yan was a little embarrassed: "I thought you didn't spend much time on set, so you might mistakenly think that you could leave the set after putting on makeup, so I reminded you."
Liang Liangwei: "I do take on fewer projects from film crews, for fear of accidentally making a mistake. Thank you for reminding me, Teacher Gu."
As she spoke, she and Lan Yin walked towards the door, with Gu Yan following slowly beside them.
"You're welcome. See you later." Gu Yan escorted them to the door, nodded politely, and watched them leave.
Le Pei'er stood beside the sofa, coldly observing their hypocritical politeness, and curled her lip.
Gu Yan's assistant was clearly here, but he still personally saw the person off; I don't know what got into him.
He's just a stylist who's a dime a dozen.
She winked at Lin Yi, who was beside her, and Lin Yi nodded in understanding.
Le Pei'er then put on a smile and said to Gu Yan, "Brother Yan, it's been a few days. Shall we go over our lines first?"
Gu Yan closed the door, turned to where he kept his scripts, and gave a curt "Okay."
Le Pei'er: "Lin Yi, you can go out first. Yan Ge and I will rehearse our lines alone. Yan Ge, you know I don't feel comfortable around a lot of people..."
Gu Yan paused, holding the script, and frowned, saying, "You're a veteran actor, you can act well in front of so many people, including the director, producer, and staff, so why can't you perform in front of your assistant?"
Le Pei'er's smile froze slightly as she explained, "The situation is different. That was the official performance, and everything was prepared. This is just a rehearsal..."
Gu Yan: "So you can just do whatever you want when acting out scenes?"
Le Pei'er: "That's not what I meant..."
Gu Yan said seriously, "Although it's not easy for outsiders to sneak into the film crew, everyone who passed by saw you come in just now. It's normal to have an assistant with you. But if the assistant goes out and is used by someone with ulterior motives to leak information, it could have a negative impact. You can't be unaware of this, can you?"
How could Le Pei'er not understand?
But that was exactly her plan.
The contract termination is the real negative event; her image is damaged, and she desperately needs other news to overshadow it. On the way here, she discussed it with Lin Yi; if they could create a scandal with Gu Yan, it might attract public attention...
But I didn't expect Gu Yan to be so wary.
She tightened her grip on the script, almost crumpling the paper, but maintained a polite smile: "Brother Yan is right, I didn't think it through. Let Brother Yan handle it, and my agent will keep it. Let's begin..."

Liang Liangwei and Lan Yin rushed to the film set, where filming was already underway and the actors were in position waiting.
Seeing that Gu Yan's hair was a bit messy, Liang Liangwei dutifully stepped forward to straighten it for him and then used a powder puff to touch up his makeup.
Gu Yan was listening to the director explain the scene, but his gaze seemed to drift towards her almost imperceptibly.
After the director finally finished speaking, Liang Liangwei quickly packed up her tools and prepared to return to her place.
Gu Yan called out to her, "Miss Liang, it's windy today. You can sit in my rest area for a while. There are windproof facilities there."
Liang Liangwei smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Teacher Gu."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Gu Yan then focused on filming.
After the performance, the director called "cut," and he subconsciously looked towards his resting area, expecting to see that figure, but to no avail. He raised an eyebrow in surprise.
After searching around, I spotted Liang Liangwei in a corner.
She was looking at her phone, occasionally smiling, and then typing rapidly, seemingly in contact with someone.
Gu Yan's lips curled slightly, his expression towards her somewhat meaningful.
