Chapter 148 Yu Han's sudden death and disappearance from the entertainment industry; Yu Mei
He Yan had no choice but to arrange for Meng Jie, along with another unnamed young female extra from another group, to film on the wooden bridge used as a prop.
One of the team leaders whispered in He Yan's ear that Yang Yuhan, a top-tier celebrity, is the cousin of Yang Yumei, who works as an extra in films.
He Yan didn't believe it at first, but then he heard others whispering about it. Everyone knew about it except him.
Then He Yan changed his mind and stopped arranging for Yang Yumei to go to the wooden bridge, because if anything happened, he would be in trouble in front of the big star.
His gaze towards Yang Yumei changed, becoming infinitely kind. The other older female extras also benefited from this, no longer looking at He Yan's cold gaze!
Filming began, and artificial rain was brought down. Fortunately, Bai Yu had put a large straw hat on Yang Yuhan's head. The hat was wider than Yu Mei's shoulders and could cover Yu Mei's entire body as the heavy rain came!
Bai Yu, standing in front of her, was drenched by the heavy rain and felt a chill in her heart!
Then, feeling guilty, Yu Mei took advantage of the fact that no one was looking and patted Bai Yu on the back to check on her. Bai Yu turned around, smiled gently at her, and whispered, "I'm fine. It's good that you didn't get wet." After saying that, she turned back to continue filming.
After a moment, she turned back to Yu Mei and whispered, "Yu Mei, I was thinking of asking you to put in a good word for me with your cousin. I'm thinking of getting a job as an assistant to a big star. Yu Mei, can you help me?"
Just as Bai Yu finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the small wooden bridge behind them...
While Bao Xiaolu was walking back and forth on the wooden bridge behind the stage, she accidentally stepped on a plank that broke, and she fell into the bushes below...
Filming was temporarily halted. The big star, Yang Yuhan, glanced down at Yang Yumei below and thankfully found her alright. Even while filming, she hadn't forgotten that her cousin, Yang Yumei, was among the extras. Yang Yumei waved back at Yang Yuhan! Then, the others cast envious glances at the two sisters!
Yang Yuhan's two assistants immediately held umbrellas for her and helped her down the steps. The actors returned to the director's air-conditioned room.
Then, He Yan, the team leader, and other team leaders on site immediately ran to the area under the wooden bridge where the props were being filmed. Fortunately, the area under the wooden bridge was covered with tall, dry grass, without a single drop of water.
More than half an hour later, He Yan found Bao Xiaolu under the wooden bridge. He then carried Bao Xiaolu to the bridge and put her down. Bao Xiaolu then raised one arm and walked down the bridge on her own.
The actors continued filming, while Bao Xiaolu was hospitalized.
Soon, the day's extras finished filming and returned to the rest area to change out of their extras costumes and into their own clothes. Then they lined up at the crew's costume truck to hand over their clothes.
As the extras, carrying their heavy costumes, lined up to hand them over to the production crew, a middle-aged female extra got into a little trouble. For some reason, she had a few words with the costume staff, and as a result, the staff member in charge of collecting the costumes put her last and had to take back her costume.
After the extras handed over their costumes, they went to the makeup artist outside the filming location not far away to have their hair removed. Everyone's hair removal went smoothly, but then Yang Yumei encountered some trouble.
It was the same female makeup artist with the black mole in her eyebrow who had Yang Yumei's eyebrows done last time who was causing trouble for Yang Yumei.
When Yang Yumei removed a few strands of black hair from her hair and placed them on the wooden chair, they accidentally fell to the ground. She then bent down, picked them up, and put them back on the wooden chair.
At this point, the female makeup artist started nitpicking and loudly accused Yang Yumei of deliberately smashing things belonging to the crew.
Then Yang Yumei and she got into an argument. Then the team leader, a short guy from Northeast China, went to confront the makeup artist and other crew members.
Anyone from the film crew above the team leader will deliberately side with the female makeup artist, whether it's justified or not, in order to protect their own jobs.
Then the short man, with his foul mouth, berated Yu Mei, demanding that she apologize to the makeup artist. Yu Mei refused to listen and continued to do as she pleased, while the short man's mouth kept twitching.
At this moment, He Yan, the team leader, quickly walked over, pressed his big mouth against the ear of the small dog, and whispered something.
At this moment, Wang Yufeng, Bai Yu, Zhang Xiuli, Gan Zhengfang, and the other extras were watching. Some wanted to say a few words for Yumei, but swallowed their words back, afraid that they might get scolded by the team leader instead.
One of the female extras, who wasn't particularly close to Yang Yumei, finally couldn't hold back and spoke up for Yumei, saying, "We extras may have a lower social status, but we also have our own dignity!"
The woman doing the hairdressing scoffed at her and continued undoing the hair of a female extra from another group. Then she said to the girl who had spoken, "Extras are all people who can't even get by, what right do they have to talk about personal dignity!"
The female extra and other male extras were about to retort when they were immediately silenced by a fierce glare from the short team leader who was listening in their ear. They could only swallow their anger.
After hearing He Yan whisper a few words about the relationship between Yu Han and Yu Mei, the short man stopped arguing with Yu Mei. He then smiled at the female makeup artist with a mole on her eyebrow who was doing haircuts for the female extras, as if to apologize on Yu Mei's behalf. At the same time, he put his two male hands together and clasped them in a gesture of respect to the woman.
The female makeup artist completely ignored the short woman's behavior and continued to nag Yang Yumei, demanding that she apologize to her.
At this moment, the female makeup artist, the short team leader, and Yang Yuhan were in a stalemate when suddenly, the big star Yang Yuhan arrived!
The arrival of the big star Yang Yuhan immediately stunned the female makeup artist. Then, while she was taking the hair off another female extra, she suddenly pulled hard on a black hairpin with several strands of black hair wrapped around it, and the female extra let out a scream!
The black hair clip, along with several black hair roots, was held in the female makeup artist's right palm. She began to squeeze the hair clip with her five fingers together, making a sound!
Then Yang Yuhan demanded that the female makeup artist apologize to Yang Yumei, which angered the makeup artist so much that she had no choice but to bow her head and apologize to Yumei, as well as to the extras.
Then everyone applauded for the Yang Yuhan and Yang Yumei sisters!
The female makeup artist slunk away, and as she left, Yang Yuhan gave her one last warning: if she dared to bully extras again, she would be wiped out from the makeup artist scene in the film and television industry!
This is truly a source of great satisfaction for the second female lead in this story! However, this good fortune didn't last long!
A few days later, in another period fantasy drama, Yang Yumei wore a white, flowing female warrior costume and began performing wire work high in the air.
She didn't use a stunt double that day; usually, these actions were performed by her own stunt double.
Today she wanted to experience what it felt like to fly high in the sky.
However, an accident occurred. Yang Yuhan was thrown violently to the ground when the overhead wire snapped midway through the air. She then lost consciousness and died.
From then on, Yang Yumei truly became a lonely woman in the entertainment industry.
Then she was continued to be trampled on by people of higher status in the entertainment industry. The female makeup artist who deliberately made things difficult for her continued to cause trouble for her during makeup sessions.
However, all those female extras who fawned over the powerful and looked down on the weak were far away from her.
It's unclear what path she will take next.
