Cindy was so jealous that her heart ached. Although the makeup artist had taken great pains to make her beautiful, her face was not as pretty as Eliza’s. Besides, she had made her debut as a singer. Eliza’s looks in historical movies were unparalleled.
At this moment, Cindy grabbed the chance to shoot a look at the makeup artist.
After the makeup artist came to her senses, she said nervously, “Sorry, Director Cheever. This isn’t the makeup I did for Miss Robbins previously. I considered that she’s the first supporting actress in the movie who’s mostly villainous, so I deliberately applied makeup that made her look a little fierce… “
Director Cheever instantly grasped the point. The assistant director beside him glanced at Cindy’s expression and immediately criticized, “Eliza, I know you want to look good, but not every character needs to look beautiful. Your looks need to reflect your character’s personality. Do you know why this movie is called The Belle? It’s precisely because the female lead and her dancing skills are beautiful. With your current looks, you’ll be stealing the limelight from the lead actress.”
The assistant director had made it very clear that the first supporting actress’ beauty had surpassed that of the female lead, which would twist the intended theme of the movie.
Upon hearing his words, Director Cheever became annoyed. “Eliza, if you want a role that allows you to look beautiful and a character that has a distinct personality as well as characteristics, you’re in the wrong set. Since today is the first day of shooting, you can still leave. But… if the crew suffers any losses because of you, you need to compensate us. “
“Director Cheever, I think it’s Eliza’s first time being involved in blockbuster movies like this, so she might not be clear about some things.”
Cindy promptly came over and explained, “Eliza, just follow the makeup artist’s arrangement. I have a scene that requires me to fall into mud tomorrow. Director Cheever asked me to go bare-faced and cast my image aside. Actually, Director Cheever is renowned for his filmmaking expertise, so we should believe in him. What’s more, every attempt is a new breakthrough.”
Director Cheever nodded in satisfaction. He did not expect Cindy to be so aware of things. Although she was Young Master Jewell’s fiancee, she did not put on airs. Instead, she was rather cooperative.
“Eliza, I have a tight schedule. Can you stop wasting everyone’s time?” The winner of the best actor award and the male lead of the movie, Norman Judge, was impatient with Eliza, who was merely a popular idol.
With all the criticisms Eliza was receiving, Leanne became exasperated and anxious. When she was about to speak, Eliza cast a look at her while shaking her head. She then said, “Look at my face. Do I have any eyeliner or any other makeup on me? I only applied a little lip balm on my lips and arched my eyebrows so that my style will suit my character in the movie. I even tied up my hair into the most ordinary bun.”
Everyone was stunned. Only then did they realize that her face was bare without any foundation on it.
Hardly anyone would be bold enough to go barefaced when shooting a movie these days.
However, Eliza looked so pretty without any makeup…
Many of the actresses present were deeply jealous.
Eliza showed her phone screen. “This was what the makeup artist did to me. Frankly, with this makeup, I wonder if I’m playing the first supporting female role or her mom?”
Director Cheever was dumbfounded after catching a glimpse of it. Eliza was naturally beautiful, but that makeup style really made her appear quite old- fashioned.
The makeup artist began to panic. “Director Cheever, didn’t you tell me during the meeting earlier to conceal Eliza’s beauty a little when I applied makeup on her? You wanted me to make her look slightly more ferocious and scheming.”
“Yes. Makeup can highlight one’s ferocity and beauty, but I don’t think this is necessary.”
Eliza’s impassive gaze was filled with confidence. ” I’m called an actress because of my acting. It’s through the eyes that one acts. Director Cheever, I can show you the ferocious and scheming side as you wish.”
“Eliza, don’t be too full of yourself. ” Cindy tried to advise Eliza. “Previously, you’ve always played the female lead who’s beautiful and kind. But now, you’re the first supporting female actress who’ll be cast as a cruel and wicked woman. It’s not that simple.”
“Exactly. ” Norman expressed his dissatisfaction. ” It’s not easy to act in Director Cheever’s movies. Even experienced actors like me only manage to pass on the third or fourth try.”
“I can give it a try.”
Eliza said with a smile, “Coincidentally, both Miss Turner and I will be acting in the next scene.
Director Cheever, if I fail, I’ll leave the set. I’ll compensate however much I’m supposed to. Of course, if I pass, I hope I get to stay in a hotel that’s closer to the set instead of staying alone in a hotel that’s over 30 kilometers away.
“In addition, please arrange a better car for me instead of a shabby Ford that’ll suddenly have its tire punctured when I drive to a remote place. Also, send me important news in advance and not… after I arrive at the set when everyone has already had their hair styled without my knowledge. As for the rest… I’m not going to argue over my lounge, which is smaller than the third supporting actress’.”
Eliza’s calm, gentle voice sounded.
As she was speaking, Director Cheever’s expression turned grimmer. If Eliza had not personally mentioned this, he would not have known that she had been staying alone in a hotel that was 30 kilometers away. Even the car that she used for traveling was a shabby Ford.
He also just found out that nobody from the production department had informed Eliza of anything regarding the shooting.
“Is everything she said true?” Director Cheever shifted his stern gaze to the production crew.
“How could it be?” Leader Wells from the production department immediately stood up. ” Yesterday, I asked a crew member to text her assistant. Clearly, she came late on purpose. How dare she lay the blame on us? She even said that she doesn’t want to stay with Cindy, that’s why I had to arrange for her to stay farther away. This place is remote, and there are only two good hotels here. “
“You don’t want to stay with me?” Cindy was astonished. “Why? Is it because… you’re unhappy that I’m the female lead of the movie?”
Eliza could not be bothered to look at her. Considering that she was pursuing a career as an actress, it would be exhausting for her to act in real life as well. “Director Cheever, can we start now?”
At the sight of Eliza’s behavior, Director Cheever furrowed his brows. He honestly felt that she was willful.
He disliked having willful crew members as it was not easy to control them. “Eliza, let me remind you that I’ve only passed two people on their first try so far. Don’t be too full of yourself.”
Eliza smiled. “I have no choice but to prove myself with my ability because I really don’t want to shoot in a makeup style that makes me look ugly and old- fashioned. Having said that, it shouldn’t count if it’s not me who yells ¡®cut’.”
“Of course.” Director Cheever nodded and glanced at Cindy after that. “Get ready for the fifth scene.”
Cindy was stunned. “Isn’t that supposed to take place at four o’clock in the afternoon?”
“Let’s make it more difficult for her,” Director Cheever replied nonchalantly.
Cindy was secretly pleased. She remembered that the fifth scene was the hardest of all in the movie. The scene would have the supporting actress force the female lead into a corner and poison her.
The shooting began shortly after.
After ¡®action’ was called out, Eliza promptly opened her eyes and got into the mood to act. She held a bowl of medicine in her hand. Despite her pure and clean face, she exuded a sense of creepiness.
“Sister, I came to visit you…” Once Eliza started speaking, her voice sent a chill down everyone’s spine.
“What are you trying to do?” Cindy panicked at the sight of the medicine she was holding.
“Obviously, I’m here to visit you. Since you’re so sick, you need to drink medicine. ” Eliza reached out to Cindy as she approached her.
“Don’t come over.” Cindy shuddered in fear and retreated to the side. “Come on, I guarantee that you’ll no longer be in pain after you finish the medicine.” A mirthless smile spread across Eliza’s face. “You’ll no longer be in pain or jealous. You’ll go to a place where humans can’t live, and it’s relaxing there…”
“You’re crazy. You must’ve spiked the drink, right? I won’t drink it.” Cindy began to scream. “Daphne, we used to be friends. Have you forgotten our promise to fly high together…”
“Yeah, but I’ll y high on my own. I’m really sick of you. Whenever we’re together, you’re forever the one in the limelight. All he thinks about and sees is you.” Eliza made this statement coolly throughout, but her eyes revealed wickedness and cruelty. “Go to hell, Sister.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she squeezed Cindy’s chin forcefully.
Director Cheever watched the scene from the camera. Despite looking pretty and clean, Eliza was able to portray the ferocity, insanity, and wickedness of the character superbly.
Eliza had not screamed or deliberately widened her eyes.
It felt like… it was in her nature to be so evil. Compared to Eliza, Cindy’s expression was…
relatively exaggerated and unnatural.
She could not express her fear and frustration well so she had to resort to shrieking and goggling.
Needless to say, Eliza beat Cindy hands down in acting.
“Norman, join the scene.” Director Cheever turned around and called for the male lead.
Norman was stunned. “I’m supposed to appear in the sixth scene. Should I join now?”
“I want to see what Eliza’s full potential is,” Director Cheever said, “I hope you can continue from her part.”
Norman nodded with a somber expression. He might not be fond of Eliza previously, but he treated all actors with respect. Moreover, he was really impressed by Eliza’s acting.
“Stop.” Norman dashed in when he saw Eliza forcing Cindy to drink the medicine. Filled with disbelief, he roughly dragged Eliza away. “What are you feeding her?”
Eliza’s vicious expression was instantly replaced with an aggrieved and confused look. She acted just like an innocent girl. “I’m feeding her some medicine. She’s very sick.”
In the gazebo.
The second cigarette that Chester smoked had finished burning without him realizing it.
He took a light breath and produced a masculine nasal voice.
Indeed, that woman… would take him by surprise time and again.
She actually acted so flawlessly in front of Director Cheever, who aimed for perfection.
In the last scene, Norman personally killed Eliza. Eliza expressed her feelings of despair and hatred for her lover in such a distinct and organized manner as if she was truly experiencing love, hatred, despair, and death herself.
