Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Look in the Mirror Before Snatching Opportunities

As the conversation ended, he added: "Of course, I used a private secondary account."

Tang Li looked at the dimples on his face and felt an inexplicable fondness.

Perhaps because she was psychologically older than Mao Yiming, when he called her "older sister," Tang Li did not feel awkward. Instead, she showed a friendly smile.

The stylist had already picked out clothes for Tang Li.

It was a beige sweater and pure white denim shorts.

Once Tang Li had changed, the makeup artist began to apply her makeup.

The makeup artist gave Tang Li a Japanese nude makeup look.

This was because the entire music video was themed around the warmth of winter.

Half an hour later, Tang Li left the makeup room.

Inside the villa, the staff were carrying props in and out, and the director was giving commands through a walkie-talkie.

Guan Xiao was sitting in front of the piano, and Tang Li was asked to sit next to him.

For a moment, the two leads became the center of attention.

Tang Li’s mid-length hair, just reaching her shoulders, was voluminous and curled with a curling iron to create tiered curves. With her slender and delicate figure, coupled with that outfit, when she appeared on the monitor screen—with the bamboo forest outside in the background—a beautiful and tranquil visual effect was presented.

Mao Yiming couldn’t help himself and turned to ask the director: "Is it too late to replace the male lead now?"

Director: "..."

Guan Xiao tried the piano, and upon hearing the director calling "female lead over," he turned his head, saw Tang Li, and stretched out his left hand encouragingly.

Today’s Guan Xiao was no longer the capable detective from "Original Sin"; his center-parted hair was somewhat messy, and under the sunlight, it turned into a deep chestnut color. Wearing a snowflake navy blue sweater over a white round-neck T-shirt, his tall nose and deep eye sockets made him look like a warm yet melancholic young man.

Tang Li, not being pretentious, returned a smile and also extended her right hand.

Then they sat side by side in front of the piano.

Tang Li only had five scenes in the music video.

One was playing piano with Guan Xiao in the early morning, another was Guan Xiao tying her hair with a hair band, and the rest were close-ups of her, including her pursed lips with a smile, her eyes glancing over, and a scene lying side-on on the sofa looking at the camera. Throughout the shoot, Tang Li never fully exposed her face to the camera.

The director used this filming technique to leave the audience with a sense of ethereal beauty.

For many people, an ex-girlfriend is someone they want to forget but cannot.

The close-up shots of the ex-girlfriend in the music video precisely captured the male lead’s sense of loss and loneliness after the breakup.

It took Tang Li two hours to complete all the shooting.

In the afternoon, Tang Li rushed back to the film crew.

The moment her nanny van stopped by the roadside, Tang Li saw Lai Yuaner being gloriously led out of the villa.

She remembered that today was Lai Yuaner’s wrap day.

Lai Yuaner also noticed the nanny van, deliberately lagged a few steps behind Sister Wen and the others, and once Tang Li got out of the vehicle, she sauntered over, sizing Tang Li up and asked: "I heard you auditioned for ’Mihesha River Action’?"

There are basically no secrets in this circle.

Tang Li was not surprised she knew.

Lai Yuaner scoffed: "A movie I rejected, you should look in the mirror before picking up leftovers, even if Director Qi Liang’s films don’t do well at the box office, he still has his standards. Really, not every Tom, Dick, or Harry thinks they can play the female lead right away."

"Are you happy about wrapping up today?"

Tang Li smiled too.

Lai Yuaner wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but Tang Li spoke first: "You should focus on performing well in ’Martial God’, since the role of Ying Xuaner is unlikely to bring you any more glory."

"What do you mean!" Lai Yuaner was furious.
