Chapter 90: Excellent Performance
Chang Mengyu sighed: "We can only try our best to save the situation."
She turned to get her phone.
Sun Simiao thought about it and said, "I'll call and ask too."
"No!" Ning Baicha looked at her and Xue Zixuan, "You and Xue Zixuan, as well as other important creators, go change your clothes and put on makeup first. If you have time, call and borrow clothes for us. If you really don't have time, just take care of yourself first. If the three of us still don't have clothes in the end, we won't go on. The most important thing is to ensure that Yimeng's play can be performed smoothly."
Xue Zixuan frowned: "Sister Baicha, you..."
"Don't say so much, just go and do your work first." Ning Baicha pointed at them, "Go!"
The assistant director also came out of his panic at this time. He looked at Ning Baicha with a complicated expression: "You are much calmer than me."
"I'm not calm, I'm just heartbroken." Ning Baicha shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed. "There's nothing I can do. We can't let the hard work of the entire troupe go to waste just because of us."
The assistant director nodded: "But I'm sorry for wronging you."
"I am willing to bear the grievance, but if possible, I would like to ask you to try your best to arrange for Chen Ying and Sister Mengyu."
The assistant director looked at her and said, "Don't be so discouraged. I will definitely find a way to arrange all your clothes for you."
Ning Baicha smiled slightly, and the assistant director turned around to make a phone call and use his connections to borrow clothes.
Chen Ying's eyes were red. She looked at Ning Baicha and said, "If you don't go on stage, then I won't go on stage either."
"That's not necessary." Ning Baicha was a little amused, "Don't let your momentary anger ruin your future."
"What about you?" Chen Ying said unhappily, "You say that about me, but aren't you the same?"
Ning Baicha opened her mouth, then closed it again. She pursed her lips slightly and said, "It's different. I feel like it's because of me that you got implicated this time. That's why I can't let you lose your chance to go on stage."
Chen Ying: "No matter what, I..."
She paused, a look of confusion flashed across her face, as if she remembered something, but the feeling was fleeting and quickly passed through her mind.
Seeing that she was silent, Ning Baicha hurriedly said, "Stop talking nonsense and go make a phone call to see if there is anyone around who can lend you clothes."
Chen Ying couldn't remember what she wanted to say, so she just responded quietly and turned around to make a phone call.
By the end of the third show, Chang Mengyu and Chen Ying finally had their performance costumes.
Ning Baicha has never found a suitable performance costume.
Seeing that the fourth drama was already halfway through and Ning Baicha's clothes had not yet been borrowed, Chen Ying and Chang Mengyu were extremely anxious.
"What should we do?" Chen Ying asked with a pale face.
Chang Mengyu also went to see Ning Baicha.
The assistant director made call after call.
Xue Zixuan's expression didn't look particularly good either, and even Sun Simiao's face showed urgency.
Ning Baicha, on the other hand, was not in a hurry: "What can I do? I must cut off this line. After all, it takes a lot of time just to decorate it."
She smiled, although she felt a little regretful in her heart and thought her behavior was silly. After all, her goal was to become famous, not to give up her position to others!
Although... but Ning Baicha looked at the uneasy and nervous expressions on their faces, and even when they looked at her, with a little bit of guilt, she felt in her heart... at least Yimeng was on the stage.
Although the character of Qiu is very valuable, the story of Yimeng cannot be buried.
The assistant director said with mixed feelings: "Ning Baicha, you have to know that many times, there is only one chance. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to have such an opportunity next time."
"No, as long as I am willing, there will be many opportunities for me." Ning Baicha smiled at the assistant director. "I can't ask others to do that, but assistant director, you can't watch me suffer in vain. I don't have the opportunity to perform this time. Next time, you must arrange a good role for me."
The assistant director looked at her distressedly: "Many people are unwilling to devote their lives to their own interests, but you are different. You put a lot of pressure on me."
Ning Baicha whistled, trying to ignore the disappointment in her heart. Her eyes curved when she smiled: "Then you should think about finding a good script for me so that I can be the leading actor for once."
"You." The assistant director knew that Ning Baicha was joking when he expressed his inner thoughts. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I already have one..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Baicha suddenly became a little excited. "I suddenly remembered that the character Qiu had a scene where she wore peasant woman's clothes to enter the city. This scene doesn't require very high quality costumes. Can I borrow a set of real peasant woman's clothes to wear?"
The assistant director was stunned: "Yes, but where can you find that kind of clothes?"
"They're sold in the market next door. Most of the clothes worn by Qiu as a dancer are exquisite and luxurious. I can't get them, but I can get a set of peasant woman's clothes and show them off." Ning Baicha grinned and looked at the assistant director, "Assistant director, you won't disagree, right?"
It might be a bit troublesome, as everyone needs to be notified and the script needs to be changed, but thinking of Ning Baicha’s great sacrifice, the assistant director couldn’t say no.
After all, because of the clothing issue, Ning Baicha’s entire line is going to be cut off.
Her current requirements are not high, she just wants to make an appearance.
The assistant director can still do this.
He nodded and said, "Okay, you can do the decoration now, and I'll go to the market next door to buy clothes for you."
Ning Baicha was a little worried: "Can you buy the right one?"
"Don't worry, I'm in charge of the costumes for the entire crew. Of course I can handle it." The assistant director turned around and left in a hurry.
Ning Baicha didn't hesitate any longer and sat down in front of the makeup mirror, ready to put on makeup.
At this time, Chen Ying suddenly shouted: "Oh, I remember now."
Ning Baicha looked at her: "What's wrong with you?"
"I have a few dresses, can I? The style is closer to the background of the story, and it's very beautiful." Chen Ying looked at Ning Baicha eagerly, "Sister Baicha, I can give them to you, right?"
"Now that you mention it, it reminds me that my grandmother also has a few clothes from the old era, which coincide with the character's later clothes. Although they look a little out of place among us, they don't overshadow the rest of the group." Chang Mengyu quickly added.
Ning Baicha hesitated slightly, she looked at Sun Simiao: "What about you? You are the heroine, what do you think?"
"Bring the clothes first. It's best if everyone can go on stage." Sun Simiao said without hesitation, "Although I am the heroine of this play, I am just an actor. If you act well, why can't you serve the food?"
