Chapter 374: Chapter 373 Su Hongye and Master Su Chapter 374: Chapter 373 Su Hongye and Master Su In the small conference room, there were only about five or six people in total at the mont. Director Yang Shoulin was still incessantly pulling on soone’s arm, chatting quietly, “Brother Liu, our film crew is in its most difficult ti right now. If you, our chief makeup artist, leave, how can we continue shooting the show?!”
Wang Hao: “…”
What’s going on? Isn’t that Liu Hong, the makeup artist?
At that mont, the chief makeup artist, Liu Hong, seed all packed up, reluctantly saying, “Brother Yang, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but there’s nothing I can do. My makeup skills aren’t sufficient! You’ve got characters requiring makeup to appear as transvestites, n dressing as won, scar simulation, and blood spattering, and I just can’t make it look real enough!”
Wang Hao and Xia Xueqi exchanged glances, sensing a storm brewing!
Seeing Liu Hong about to leave, Yang Shoulin beca even more anxious and, ignoring Wang Hao, said, “Brother Liu, we’ve been good pals for many years now. Look at the situation now, our martial arts coordinator has bailed, and if you leave too, our film crew will be completely stranded! Who can I find to replace a makeup artist at such critical tis?”
“I get what you’re saying, the script is great,” Liu Hong said, grabbing his bags and heading for the door, whilst Yang Shoulin tried unsuccessfully to stop him. “But my skills aren’t up to it! Here’s what we’ll do, you find soone, and once you do, I’ll co back whenever I’m free. Is that acceptable?”
At that point, Wang Hao, unable to remain silent any longer, said, “What do you an your skills aren’t up to it? Just learn slowly.”
With so many eyes on him, Liu helplessly set down his bags, saying, “Honestly, my skills really are lacking. I’ve just got in touch with the best makeup artist in our industry, and I plan to learn so techniques from her. This opportunity is rare as they’re available only these few days. How could I miss this chance?”
Indeed, with such an explanation, the others in the room found it hard to object further.
If it was just a matter of money, it would be easier to handle, but he was planning to seek ntorship—which in industry circles is an unwritten rule that generally no one obstructs.
The reason is simple, isn’t it? You can’t block soone’s path to improving themselves.
“Ah,” Yang Shoulin sighed deeply before continuing, “How long will it take for you to master the skills? It seems like it won’t be a short ti, right?”
“Actually, it won’t be too long,” Liu picked up his bags again, saying, “About a month, I promise. I’ll co back as soon as I’ve mastered it. Brother Yang, you know my makeup skills are decent within the industry. Previously, being slightly better than so and not as good as others didn’t really matter, but lately shooting this Martial Heroes film, I’ve felt quite out of my depth. It’s not every day you get to connect with the best makeup artist in our circle, how could I not go?”
Everyone nodded in agreent.
Liu then started to boast, “Speaking of this makeup artist, she’s amazing! The makeup she does is flawless! Do you know what flawless ans? For example, if she does my makeup, I could stand right in front of you, and you wouldn’t be able to recognize !”
Everyone collectively gasped, “That’s incredible!”
Being an industry-famous star, Lan Zihuang, who knew more people, said, “The person you’re talking about, isn’t that …?”
“That’s right, Master Su Hongye!” Liu seed even prouder and didn’t seem in a rush to leave anymore. “She’s no ordinary person! Who else could manage to invite her? Her status in the industry is sothing I couldn’t even dream of reaching, right? But sohow, she was in a good mood this ti. I t her once before, and I ntioned that I was struggling to keep up here, and she agreed to ntor !”
“Su Hongye!” Lan Zihuang’s eyes widened. “You must go, you absolutely must! She’s indeed the top-ranked makeup artist in our circle! I thought she had retired to run her own styling studio, hadn’t she? How co she’s willing to return now?”
Wang Hao: “…”
Styling studio?
“Yes, yes, yes,” Liu excitedly continued, “It’s that Get Into Fine Term studio in Zhonghai! Master Su Hongye used to be the highest-grade makeup and styling artist here, but then she was hired away by Miss Ice Princess, and since then she’s retired from the public eye, right? After that, no one in our circle could afford her! Ah, this opportunity is truly once in a lifeti!”
Wang Hao: “…”
Su Hongye, Get Into Fine Term studio, taken by Miss Ice Princess…
Why does this sound so familiar? Could it be that big sister who once washed my hair? I rember she was also about thirty years old, I wonder if it’s her…
“Um,” Wang Hao cautiously asked, “This Miss Su Hongye you’re talking about, is she in her thirties, looks very gentle, speaks with a very magnetic voice, and is about 1.62 ters tall?”
“Yes, yes, yes, how did you know?” Hearing Wang Hao say this, Liu was astounded. “You’ve t her? Wow, Brother Hao, impressive! Well-inford!” His thumbs almost shot up to the sky. “Let tell you, people generally aren’t privileged to et this master. You know? Just going to her studio starts at five thousand, and it’s her apprentices who do the styling! Except for Miss Ice Princess, she hasn’t styled anyone else these past two years!”
Wang Hao: “…”
It seems like you’re missing one person there, as far as I know, she’s styled soone else too, and it’s a man!
Yes, Brother Hao!
“Ah, haha, I saw her once by chance before,” Wang Hao embarrassingly scratched his head. “I was wondering who it was. How about this, Brother Liu, don’t rush off just yet. I’ll make a call and ask; there’s no hurry at this mont. What do you say?”
As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, everyone present craned their necks, looking at him as if he had seen a ghost—Kid, that’s Master Su Hongye! The top makeup artist in the industry, and you’re going to make a phone call to ask?
Do you even have her phone number?
“Little Wang,” Yang Shoulin hurriedly said, “I understand what you’re thinking, wanting Liu to stay, but this…”
“Yeah, Brother Hao,” Lan Zihuang also said, “This kind of opportunity doesn’t co all the ti. Let Liu go, and if we have to wait a few more days, so be it…”
Wang Hao: “…”
Look how scared you all got; it’s precisely because she is the Ice Princess’s personal stylist that I need to find her!
We’ve even kissed the Ice Princess!
Just these past few days, I also helped her catch fish in the river!
“Hey, just relax, I’ve got this!” Wang Hao confidently pulled out his phone and directly called the Ice Princess, quickly connecting—
Wang Hao: “What are you up to?”
Bai Yaning: “I’m at ho reading a book—can your book update any faster?”
Wang Hao broke out in a sweat and hurriedly said, “I’ll try my best, my best… By the way, I’m calling about sothing related to Su Hongye…”
Bai Yaning: “Hmm? You know her na? What do you need her for?”
Wang Hao: “Here’s the thing, I’m at the ‘Martial Heroes’ film set, and our makeup artist wants to apprenticed to her and leave. I figured that wouldn’t work. If he leaves, we’ll have no one, so I thought I’d ask.”
Bai Yaning: “I understand. You go ahead; I’ll have her call your makeup artist in a mont.”
Wang Hao: “Thanks a lot, hehe.”
After hanging up, Wang Hao gestured an OK sign with his fingers and smiled, “There you go, Brother Liu, no need to rush off. You’ll get a call in a bit.”
Everyone listened, completely befuddled.
In a bit? They’re going to call Liu? Su Hongye will personally call Liu?
Everyone present looked at each other, all a bit unclear—Is this for real?
Before people could doubt for too long, makeup artist Liu’s phone rang!
Liu pulled out his phone and imdiately was stunned: “Master Su! It’s really Master Su calling!”
Yang Shoulin exclaid, “Speakerphone! Speakerphone!”
And so, on speakerphone…
Su Hongye: “Is this Liu Hong? I’m Su Hongye. Is Wang Hao with your film crew?”
Makeup artist Liu Hong respectfully replied, “Yes, Master. Do you have any instructions?”
Su Hongye: “You don’t need to co here; I’m not busy these next two days. I’ll personally visit your film crew tomorrow. It’s been a while since I last saw Mr. Wang Hao, and I’d like to say hello.”
