IDEMS Ch. 6 - Disagreements Within the Makeup Team, New Uniforms Arrive

"Let's go with this!" The director slapped his thigh and made the decision. "Which shop? I'll have the costume team contact the owner!"

"Alright, I'll send it to you," Qi Yanning said.

Yesterday, he had already added the director on Feixin (messaging app), and at this moment, he copied the shop link and sent it to the director.

Ever since he had traveled to this time, the convenience of life here was what satisfied him the most. Although his previous life as the head of the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau afforded him a good standard of living in Dayong, it still couldn't compare to the everyday life of the people here.

Take the smartphone, for example—it was incredibly convenient for staying in touch. There was also the tablet he used to watch runway shows. It could record events happening at different times and places, upload them to the internet, and allow anyone interested to view them. This feature greatly pleased Qi Yanning.

The director received the link and passed it to the assistant director to make arrangements. He then put away his phone and led Qi Yanning to the makeup and styling team.

The production team of 'Your Star' certainly lived up to its reputation as a major production. There were as many as five makeup and styling rooms, each at least 50 square meters, with neatly arranged makeup stations. The costumes and accessories were carefully placed in the corners. Behind the makeup rooms were six storage rooms for additional costumes and accessories.

The makeup team's break room was situated between the storerooms and the makeup rooms, furnished with desks, chairs, sofas, and even a few small beds for resting.

However, Qi Yanning frowned slightly. The break room wasn't ventilated, and with a dozen people crammed into one space, he felt uncomfortable.

As they entered, the director loudly introduced Qi Yanning to the makeup artists already in the room. "This is Qi Yanning, your newest colleague. He'll be leading the makeup and styling for the re-recording of the theme song MV. Give him your full support and work together."

The other makeup artists smiled and agreed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, the director turned and left. With the entire production under his management, his coming to personally welcome Qi Yanning was already a sign of how much he valued him.

With the director gone, the atmosphere in the room turned subtly tense.

Qi Yanning raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the room. He could easily sense that, apart from the eight assistant makeup artists who looked like little chicks, among the remaining six people, two harbored strong hostility towards him, one had a more hidden form of animosity, and another was observing him with a scrutinizing attitude.

This makeup team... seemed a bit delicate.

But he didn't care.

As long as these people didn't affect his work, he wouldn't bother with what they were up to. But if they did...

Qi Yanning chuckled softly.

In his past life, he didn't climb to the top of the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau by being soft-hearted.

"Hello, Senior!" one of the assistant makeup artists called out softly, breaking the subtle tension in the room. She looked at Qi Yanning with bright, sparkling eyes.

This was the girl from yesterday's interview, Li Jinshi.

She was studying fashion design and could be considered Qi Yanning's junior. She had solid foundational skills, especially in color sensitivity.
