In November, the temperature in Tianhai City dropped sharply, and the rustling wind wrapped the fallen leaves, making people shiver.
The night shrouded Zhumeng Film and Television City, so thick that it couldn't be wiped away.
In the temporary studio, the prop master is busy preparing the rain sprinklers and slide rails for the subsequent reshoots of the rain scene.
The prop master passed by carrying the slide rails, and glanced at the girl in the corner.
She lowered her head slightly and couldn't see her facial features clearly, but the prop master had been in the entertainment industry for decades, and her vision was extremely vicious. Just by the curvature of her nose and the outline of her jaw, she could tell that this girl had the potential to be popular.
The prop master approached involuntarily, and smelled the fragrance of fresh water spirit flowers in the air, which was warm and sweet.
It's an Omega.
But this is not surprising, the most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is a beautiful Omega.
The prop master continued to walk out, and just as he lifted his foot, the scent of amber seemed to come from the tip of his nose.
The prop master stopped abruptly. He usually deals with female stars, and the Omega pheromones he has seen are very simple. Only top-level Omega can have such a variety of pheromones.
He couldn't help but stepped forward to talk: "Are you an actor in "Meng Yuan"? Which role do you play?"
Lin Ruoyun raised her eyes.
The prop master couldn't help being stunned.
What a beautiful Omega!
Especially her pair of watery eyes, gentle and agile. The eye movements are naturally black and white, and the soul-stirring makes people willing to sink.
Lin Ruoyun smiled slightly: "I'm here to replace Sister Qing's scene in the rain."
Oh, it turned out to be a stand-in.
The prop master felt sad for a while.
Such a beautiful Omega should be the heroine, but she is a stuntman who can't even show her face.
But the entertainment industry is so realistic. Zhan Qing is the heroine hand-picked by the investor, so it's okay if her acting skills are poor, she can't even memorize her lines, so she just reads a few numbers to cope with the scenes, all relying on the post-dubbing.
It's not uncommon for Zhan Qing to put on airs and take scores, but she brought money into the group, and the director had no choice but to hold on to it, using a stuntman for most of the scenes, and later added close-up shots of her.
Today's scene of the reunion of the male and female protagonists in the rain needs to be filmed in a low-temperature environment in late autumn. In order to achieve the best results, the director gave up using special effects to cut pictures, and needed to use a rain sprayer to spray water on the actors.
As soon as Zhan Qing heard this, she immediately stopped acting, and the director tried to persuade her to use a stand-in in front of her, and then added her face shots at the end.
The prop master didn't ask any more questions, and walked out with a faint oh.
Lin Ruoyun lowered her head again, and turned her eyes back to the script.
She couldn't afford an agent, let alone an agency, and other actors had assistants to take care of them, but she squatted alone in the corner of the props department, holding a script with only two sheets of paper, and seriously figured out her role.
The director came over with a pipe in his mouth, briefly talked about the actors' positions, and everyone began to prepare.
The moment the director called the stand-in actor to take the position, Lin Ruoyun fully entered the mood, rushed to the rain sprinkler in a few steps, and called the hero's name with sobs.
The male lead turned around slowly and met her eyes. Lin Ruoyun's eyes showed longing, distress, and uneasy love, so that the male actor was unconsciously involved in her eyes and played the best acting skills in the whole show.
"Sister Qing, Sister Qing!" The director kept waving his hands, signaling for Zhan Qing who was waiting beside him to join.
Reluctantly, Zhan Qing stood up and exposed her wet face to the camera. After the camera captured a close-up of her face, she hugged the hero in a patterned manner in the rain.
"Cut!"
The director ignored Zhan Qing's highly traced acting skills, approached the leading actor, and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.
I didn't expect that when the male lead also had explosive acting skills, this scene was really exciting.
Lin Ruoyun took out the coat from her backpack and wrapped it around her body. She had to make up a scene in the rain later, and she couldn't change out the wet clothes. She was too cold and had to curl up into a ball to warm up a bit.
The leading actor, Yi Wenbin, walked up to Lin Ruoyun, raised his lips, "You...what's your name?"
"Lin Ruoyun." Lin Ruoyun raised her long eyelashes and smiled politely.
"The acting skills are pretty good." Yi Wenbin did not hide his admiration for her: "Have you studied acting?"
Lin Ruoyun shook her head faintly: "No."
Yi Wenbin was obviously a little surprised. He was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled again: "I'm going to make a movie next month. There's a character that suits you quite well. Do you want to introduce it for you?"
It is not uncommon for people in the circle to recommend each other, but Yi Wenbin has never promoted a newcomer for so many years in the industry.
This made Zhan Qing jealous and hateful.
The reason why she coaxed the financial backside to invest in this movie was because she liked Yi Wenbin, and she was unwilling to just watch him in front of the screen, chasing stars and following the crew.
Zhan Qing twisted her waist and moved closer, with a sinister smile: "Oh, it's rare that Brother Bin can support you, why don't you thank him soon?"
Lin Ruoyun could hear the cynicism in her words, she didn't answer, her eyes were fixed on the script, she seemed calm.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhan Qing became more and more aggressive: "Since Brother Bin agrees with your acting skills, then tomorrow's bathing scene will be performed by you."
Bathing scene?
Naked./play?
Lin Ruoyun's heart choked for no reason.
In a trance, two voices kept circling and intertwining in her mind.
"Ruoyun, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
"Me...uh...I like acting, I want to be an actor, I can do anything."
"Acting is fine, but kissing scenes are not allowed, and bed scenes are not allowed... Ruoyun, promise me, okay?"
"Okay, I promise you, cheapskate!"
Lin Ruoyun's heart was filled with an indelible sadness and sorrow, and the tip of her nose gradually became sour uncontrollably.
…what is it?
Something that stays in her mind.
Would it make her sad?
Lin Ruoyun almost subconsciously refused: "I won't shoot!"
Zhan Qing sneered: "It's up to you to choose."
Lin Ruoyun raised her eyelids coldly, and slowly raised her chin: "Sorry, I don't shoot **** scenes."
The atmosphere froze for a few seconds, and the director came over to smooth things over: "Xiao Lin, it's actually okay. During the performance, you can take more protective measures. It's a big deal. I'll fix it later."
Lin Ruoyun's lips formed a straight line: "I'm sorry director, I have my principles."
The director didn't force her anymore, but Zhan Qing obviously wouldn't let Lin Ruoyun go easily.
She yelled at the director in a shrill voice: "I want to change someone, change someone for me!"
After all, behind Zhan Qing is the father of the gold master. The director didn't dare to offend, so he came over with a shy smile and stood by Zhan Qing's side to follow her temper.
Relying on the support of the director, Zhan Qing's attitude became even more arrogant: "How about it, to act or not to act?"
Lin Ruoyun picked up her backpack, straightened her back, stepped on her high heels firmly, and left without looking back.
He didn't even give her a look.
…
It has been an hour since I returned to the rented community, and the night is completely dark. The voice-activated lights in the corridor of the resettlement house are up and down, and no one maintains them.
Lin Ruoyun stepped up the narrow stairs in the dark, and after walking two steps, she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the corridor.
Immediately afterwards, a faint scent of saffron pheromone rushed into the tip of her nose.
It is Alpha's pheromone.
Most of Alpha's pheromones are woody, and herbal pheromones are very rare, and this herbal floral fragrance is even rarer among the rare.
Recently, there have been frequent occurrences of bad events where Alpha follows Omega and forcibly marks them.
Lin Ruoyun's heart was pounding nervously.
She put her right hand behind her back, reached into the side pocket of her backpack, and finally reached for the mini flashlight with electric shock function.
Lin Ruoyun stabilized her heartbeat, turned on the flashlight, and looked down through the scattered space formed by the handrail through the light beam.
Nothing happened.
Maybe a mouse crawled over, or maybe there was something wrong with my sense of smell.
Lin Ruoyun thought this way, and planned to go upstairs quickly, but when she climbed to the door of her unit on the second floor, just as she was about to take out the key, that cold and unique pheromone entered her nasal cavity again and again.
Lin Ruoyun poked the flashlight into the corridor again.
In the faint light and shadow, something seemed to tremble.
A hand climbed up the dark brown banister.
Fair and slender, with distinct joints, the wrist bone protrudes slightly, like condensed jade fat.
What a beautiful hand!
Lin Ruoyun's nerves collapsed, she stepped down the stairs and approached slowly, her hand holding the flashlight trembled slightly.
Under the warm yellow beam of light, Lin Ruoyun caught off guard and met a pair of dark eyes.
Like a lone star in the night, it is so dark that it burns people.
Really— a female Alpha.
Lin Ruoyun's breathing was almost stagnant, and she asked tremblingly, "You, who are you?"
"elder sister…"
The cold voice trembled inexplicably, and there was an indescribably strong emotion in the ending.
