Chapter 1025 The Missing Eyeshadow Palette
"It's nothing," Virginia said, pretending to be magnanimous.
After she said this compliment, the surrounding staff began to praise her one after another.
Virginia was like the brightest star in the crowd, constantly receiving praise from those around her.
And Christina was the one who set her off.
"Christina, let me take a look at the script." As she spoke, Virginia reached out to take the script from Christina's hand. Christina hesitated for a moment, then put the script down and avoided her hand.
For this action, Virginia sneered inwardly, thinking Christina didn't know what was good for her, but she still maintained a kind smile on her face, "Christina, is it inconvenient to show the script to others? It's okay, you can just narrate it to me!"
"Thank you, Ms. Pearl, for being willing to explain the scene to me, but I still want to ponder it myself and see if I can perform it in my own style," Christina politely expressed her gratitude and then declined her offer.
Her refusal made Virginia's face look a bit unpleasant, but she didn't need to say anything; the people around her had already said everything she wanted to say.
"Ponder it yourself? It's been all morning, and you haven't done a single scene well."
"A big star like Virginia is willing to explain the scene to her, and she doesn't want it. What's she being so aloof about?"
Christina stood there, feeling as if those words were tiny knives, stabbing into her and leaving her embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Just when she wished she could disappear, Marsha appeared in front of her, "Christina, Mr. Caldwell is looking for you."
Following Marsha to Curtis's lounge, Curtis sighed helplessly when he saw her, "I heard about what happened outside just now."
"Mr. Caldwell, I'm sorry," Christina lowered her head and admitted her mistake, feeling she hadn't done well.
Curtis had her sit down and said earnestly, "Actually, it's not like that. It's normal to have problems the first time you act. Even professionals make mistakes, let alone someone like you who has never acted before."
She understood that Curtis was trying to comfort her, but she couldn't feel better because she felt too guilty for delaying everyone's progress!
Seeing her like this, Curtis spoke again, "Virginia's first film was directed by me. Don't be fooled by how lightly she talks about it; she made no fewer mistakes than you did in her first film."
Hearing this, Christina blinked and looked up at Curtis, "Mr. Caldwell, don't lie to me just to comfort me."
"It's true. I'm not slandering her just to comfort you," Curtis took out the script and turned to the scene, "Christina, this film is called 'Valeria Song,' and the female lead's name is also Valeria Song. She is the soul of this film. So my requirements are a bit higher. Let me explain this scene to you properly."
Curtis seriously explained the background and meaning of the scene and had Christina demonstrate it on the spot, giving her one-on-one adjustments.
After Christina was called away by the director, Virginia seemed a bit redundant on the set.
She originally wanted to show off her acting skills by explaining the scene to Christina in front of everyone. Unexpectedly, Curtis didn't give her a chance to shine and directly called Christina away.
Virginia was so angry that she struggled to keep her composure. She found an excuse to have the staff take her to the dressing room to rest for a while.
Sitting in the dressing room, the more Virginia thought about it, the more upset she became.
She didn't understand why Curtis chose Christina as the female lead. Christina had no acting experience and no fan base. How could she carry a film as the female lead?
When the film was released, no one would watch it.
After today's incident, she thought Curtis must regret his decision. If she appeared again, the role of Valeria Song would fall into her hands.
Unexpectedly, even though Christina performed so poorly, Curtis still didn't regret his decision and instead gave Christina one-on-one coaching.
You know, when she first started, filming Curtis's movie, she was scolded many times, and Curtis never gave her one-on-one coaching.
Why?
Virginia's eyes wandered and saw a makeup bag with Christina's name on it on the dressing table and a bag on the chair.
If she guessed correctly, it should be Christina's.
She stood up, picked the most expensive eyeshadow palette from the dressing table, and secretly put it in Christina's bag.
Wasn't Christina proud of being Mrs. Mitchell from the Mitchell family? Then she would make Christina a thief in front of everyone, a thief who even stole makeup.
She wanted to see if Christina could still finish the film peacefully after becoming a thief in the crew.
After Curtis finished explaining the scene, he found that Christina's state had improved a lot and she could perform the state Valeria Song should have, so he had the staff prepare for shooting.
When Christina arrived on set, the makeup artist called her to the dressing room to do her makeup.
"Sorry, the makeup from this morning was wasted. I'll have to trouble you again."
Although the makeup artist was a bit annoyed, Christina was an actress, and she was just a makeup artist. She didn't want to offend anyone, so she smiled and said it was okay and started touching up her makeup.
Christina's skin was in good condition, so the makeup was done quickly. However, because she was a newcomer, the makeup artist, who usually worked with big-name actresses, felt a bit uncomfortable, thinking it was beneath her status to work with a newcomer.
"Wait a minute. Where's my eyeshadow palette?" When it came to eye makeup, the makeup artist searched the dressing table over and over but couldn't find the eyeshadow palette she wanted.
Seeing her a bit anxious, Christina asked, "What's wrong? Is something missing?"
"It's just an eyeshadow palette that's missing. I used it for setting makeup, and I used it this morning. How come I can't find it now?" The makeup artist was very anxious. This scene was for Christina, and if her makeup wasn't done, everyone would have to wait.
Curtis hated waiting the most. If he found out it was because the makeup wasn't done, he would definitely blame the makeup artist.
"I'll help you find it," seeing her very nervous, Christina stood up and helped her search.
Before they found the eyeshadow palette, the door was pushed open, and the on-site director walked in, "Everything is ready on set. How's it going? Can we start shooting?"
"The eye makeup isn't done yet. The eyeshadow palette is missing. I'm sorry, but please give me a little more time," the makeup artist was very nervous but still explained the situation.
The on-site director's face looked very unpleasant. He urged them again and then left.
