Chapter 227: Expelled for Plagiarism!
Entering the makeup room, Luo Yao whispered to Mu Yan, "Who was that woman just now? Her tone was so annoying.""She was my senior in university, we’ve had some issues."
"Then it must be her fault," Luo Yao said without hesitation.
Mu Yan glanced at her, a slight smile forming. If only someone had trusted her like that back then.
Li Shangjia arrived at the filming site and saw Song Cheng’an and Ning Shishen talking.
She adjusted her clothes and discreetly reapplied some lipstick before walking over.
She called out to Ning Shishen, "Mr. Ning."
Ning Shishen gave a barely noticeable nod.
Li Shangjia then looked at Song Cheng’an and smiled, "Young Master Song, hello, I’m Li Shangjia, the head of the design department."
Song Cheng’an nodded slightly, "Hello, Miss Li."
He recalled something and asked, "Are you and Mu Yan university classmates?"
"That’s right, I’m two years above her. Ever since she was expelled, I haven’t seen her for a long time. I didn’t expect her to become an artist under Young Master Song," Li Shangjia replied.
Song Cheng’an glanced at Li Shangjia, nodded, and picked up his phone to check messages.
Li Shangjia bit her lip. Did he not hear what she said?
Just as she was about to continue speaking, Ning Shishen suddenly spoke up.
"Manager Li, go prepare two cups of coffee."
"Yes!" Li Shangjia responded and turned to leave.
Song Cheng’an watched her back, with a slight curve to his lips, "You have an interesting employee."
Ning Shishen made no comment.
About half an hour later, Mu Yan changed and came out with her makeup done.
She wore a long white gauzy dress that touched the ground, her wavy long hair draping behind her, and her makeup was delicate and elegant, making her look graceful and fresh.
Ning Shishen looked at her approaching, a trace of amazement flashed in his deep eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
Mu Yan approached the two and called out, "Mr. Ning, Brother Song."
"Are you ready?" Song Cheng’an asked.
Mu Yan nodded, "Ready."
Song Cheng’an looked at Ning Shishen, "Then let’s start. Otherwise, it’ll get even hotter later."
"Hmm." Ning Shishen nodded to his assistant beside him.
Mu Yan turned and headed towards the photography team.
Even short films have scripts. Mu Yan sat next to the director, listening to him explain the details to watch out for during shooting.
Not long after, shooting started.
In the beginning, the heroine weaves through the forest, her long dress swaying, her long hair dancing in the wind. She raises her hand to brush her hair, revealing the diamond bracelet on her wrist. She spins, and the necklace on her neck and bracelet shine in concert.
Initially, due to walking position issues and things like the dress getting caught, Mu Yan had two NG takes.
The director had anticipated the NGs and patiently helped her clear the obstacles.
The third take succeeded.
The director directly praised Mu Yan’s strong sense for the camera, saying she was much better than some models.
Song Cheng’an, Ning Shishen, and Li Shangjia were standing just behind the director, naturally overhearing his words.
Song Cheng’an looked at Ning Shishen and smiled, "How about it, Mu Yan didn’t disappoint you, did she?"
Ning Shishen said indifferently, "Whether in design or expression, she has a natural sensitivity for art. It’s a pity she became an artist."
Li Shangjia’s expression changed slightly, and she looked at Ning Shishen.
Song Cheng’an was a bit surprised, "Are you very familiar with each other?"
Ning Shishen said indifferently, "I’ve met her a few times. I greatly admire her talent."
Li Shangjia’s heart tightened a bit. She suddenly smiled and said, "Back in school, the teachers really admired Mu Yan, but unfortunately..."
She sighed, "If it weren’t for her expulsion due to plagiarism, with her talent, she would have achieved something by now."
