Chapter 232 Original Sin 41
As it turns out, there was no time to second-guess, because the other actresses had already finished their scenes, and the director Li Ming, who had become a tyrant on set as soon as filming started, did not even let anyone eat before he directly instructed Shuangshuang to hurry and film!
Shuangshuang felt a bit uneasy as she took the stage. Previously, for Red Dust, the guests, including her mother Feng Jinyan, all used Shuangshuang’s own clothes and accessories for filming. But when it came to Shuangshuang’s turn, Li Ming had her change into the clothes prepared by the crew.
The crew’s costumes couldn’t be compared to Shuangshuang’s custom-made ancient outfits; they were more intricately made, with more exquisite materials, fitting better on the body. Moreover, the professional makeup artists from the crew spent quite a while dabbing and painting on Shuangshuang’s face, and then brought out a bunch of wigs to start styling.
The process was lengthy, and Shuangshuang nearly fell asleep from boredom before she was ready. When she finally looked in the mirror—whoa! Even Shuangshuang was amazed by her appearance. If Shuangshuang was a six beforehand, then after makeup, she became a stunning ten!
Once she stood up, bearing a headful of wigs and various ornaments, Shuangshuang felt a tremendous weight on her neck! If she stayed like this for too long, she’d definitely end up with cervical spondylosis!
Standing and walking a few steps, Shuangshuang felt awkward, and on top of that, the film was being shot in an over-the-top manner. Such heavy makeup had an aroma that might affect a chef’s sense of smell, and once she started cooking, she was bound to sweat, which would instantly turn all the layers of makeup on her face into a mess!
However, Shuangshuang’s profession was cooking, not acting, so she had neither the qualification nor the standing to dictate Li Ming’s filming.
After makeup was done, Li Ming took Shuangshuang away from Red Dust and into a huge side shed! Shuangshuang was dumbfounded upon entering because inside was a replica of an ancient-style earthen stove kitchen, brightly lit with enormous set panels all around!
Li Ming brought over some ingredients and then pointed to the earthen stove, telling Shuangshuang that she was responsible for demonstrating cooking there!
Shuangshuang looked at the earthen stove and the firewood beside it, then glanced down at her own wide-sleeved long skirt cloaked in luxurious cloak, deeply doubting whether she might accidentally set herself on fire while lighting it!
