Chapter 41

The police came, and this matter finally caught their attention. Director Sun Shupeng did not want the police to get involved; if news of a violent incident during filming got out, it would not be good for the entire crew.

In the end, He Xiujiong found out about the matter and had someone from Yonghua Film step in to calm things down.

Now, everyone finally remembered that the daring and bold Ye Ming was actually from Yonghua Film.

If it weren't for Hong Fei from Yonghua driving a Cherokee and making a call in front of the police, who then left as if nothing had happened, the situation would have been different.

After the police left, everyone in the crew knew that Director Sun Shupeng and cinematographer Liu Jiajun had a heated argument, with the table being slammed repeatedly. Since He Xiujiong had gone to Yonghua Film, no one dared to mediate between them.

Liu Jiajun left with a dark face, and everyone could see that he was extremely upset, with a look that seemed ready to devour someone.

The bloodshot eyes in his gaze, like those of a fierce beast, made people shudder, clearly indicating that he had a very unpleasant confrontation with the director.

At this moment, Liu Jiajun, back from the confrontation, said, "It's all that brat Ye Ming's fault. If it weren't for him, the crew would have made the headlines long ago."

This headline, of course, was not the kind of entertainment news but rather the front page of the social news section. The news of a violent conflict during the filming of "Return of the Condor Heroes" would be explosive.

This was the result Liu Jiajun hoped for, which is why he seized the opportunity to curse the extras, trying to stir up trouble.

However, although the trouble was stirred up, it did not escalate as much as he had hoped.

Liu Jiajun said angrily, "That brat Ye Ming has ruined my plans again. My son was driven away by him, and now my good plans have been thwarted. Ah Wang, find a way to deal with this brat. He's getting too arrogant."

Liu Daowang, now a bit at a loss, said, "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. The director is quite concerned about Ye Ming. Since he was appointed as one of the leads, it's not easy to take direct action. Even if he is a newcomer, the director will not ignore it."

If it were just a regular newcomer, Liu Daowang would find it easier to deal with. However, with someone like Ye Ming, it's not so simple. It's not easy to handle him. Liu Jiajun, after all, is an old hand in the industry.

He understands very well what this means.

At that moment, he tapped Liu Daowang and said, "Are you a fool? In such a situation, would you dare to take the initiative? Afraid of getting caught?

"Find Ah Feng from the makeup team and tell him what I said. Ah Feng knows how to handle it."

Each crew is a small society, with complex relationships.

Therefore, it's not easy for newcomers to fit in. Whoever gets the chance wants to deal with these newcomers.

The costume department, being under Liu Yuebing, did not make things too difficult for the extras.

But today, the atmosphere in the makeup department seemed off. Apart from the big stars like Su Youpeng and Chen Zhipeng, who didn't seem to notice any changes, even the extras felt something was amiss.

During the breaks, a few actors sat by the prop table. Ye Ming was getting his makeup touched up. Not only did he need it, but Lin Xinru and Dai Chunrong also needed touch-ups.

Since they were all newcomers, they needed constant adjustments, and the makeup would easily smudge during the frequent NGs.

Therefore, it was necessary to touch up the makeup at this moment.

As for Su Youpeng's personal makeup artist, there was no one else.

This was a star's treatment, and Ye Ming and the others had not reached that level. The veteran actors like Zhang Tielin knew very well that supporting actors couldn't be too arrogant and couldn't have personal makeup artists.

Ah Feng walked over, fuming, and said, "What's wrong with you, Ye Ming? If you delay the shooting, can you take responsibility? Touching up, touching up, what are you touching up for? It's unnecessary. I used waterproof makeup, so there's no need to touch it up."

Ye Ming suddenly realized that Ah Feng was looking for trouble, what they call in Beijing "finding a slope," which means stirring up trouble for no reason.

They didn't use waterproof makeup before, so why did Ah Feng use it today?

There's a significant price difference between regular makeup and waterproof makeup.

The "Return of the Condor Heroes" crew had a tight budget, so they usually used regular makeup.

Regular makeup is cheaper, after all.

Even if regular makeup needs frequent touch-ups, the makeup artists are idle anyway, so they can do it multiple times.

As newcomers, did they dare to have any objections?

In fact, during the filming of "Return of the Condor Heroes," the makeup and costume departments were quite domineering.

Ye Ming, Zhao Wei, and Fan Bingbing, being newcomers, had no right to argue.

As newcomers, they didn't even have that right.

However, after the incident with the extras, Ye Ming's bold and daring skills deeply impressed everyone on the set.

They were quite shocked by his skills.

Therefore, after that, few people dared to glare at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming looked at Ah Feng and said, "Waterproof makeup? Do you really think I'm a fool? The French Dream Lady series, like a bubble, is a one-time use costume for April Fool's Day. I advise you, don't seek death, and you won't die."

He continued with the makeup. The Dream Lady series' biggest advantage is that it is absolutely waterproof when applied, but after 20 minutes, the waterproof effect disappears, and the makeup will smudge very quickly.

Fortunately, Ye Ming had extensive knowledge of makeup from his previous life; otherwise, if his makeup smudged during the performance, it would definitely make the director angry.

After being scolded by Ye Ming, Ah Feng was at a loss, his face turning red and then white.

Ah Feng himself didn't know why Ye Ming could easily see through the Dream Lady series, which was just starting to become popular abroad.

But at this moment, Ah Feng needed a reason to vent. He pointed at Lin Xinru and said, "And you, Lin Xinru, hurry up. You're almost done. No matter how much you touch up, you won't become Lin Qingxia."

Since Ye Ming, Lin Xinru, and Fan Bingbing were all newcomers, Ah Feng had no qualms about scolding them.

Having hit a wall with Ye Ming, he naturally had to find a way to vent on others.
