Jinli and Lu Xiaoyou entered the makeup room of the film crew, following the usual practice, they greeted the staff around them.
However, apart from a polite response, the staff were not as enthusiastic as usual.
Other artists at the makeup table, noticing Lu Xiaoyou's arrival, several of them glanced at her face.
Some were snickering, some looked curious, some looked up at Lu Xiaoyou, then quickly averted their eyes, fearing she would notice.
Lu Xiaoyou pretended not to notice these small gestures, she sat in front of the makeup table while Jinli took a cloth from the toolbox to drape over her to prevent her clothes from being soiled by makeup powder.
While Lu Xiaoyou was getting her makeup done, a news broadcast was playing on the LCD TV fixed on one wall of the makeup room.
Long Xiliang's enterprise held a high-profile collaboration press conference with the Helian Family, drawing reporters and media from all over China and abroad to Fengtian to cover this event.
