Chapter 72 Deng Siya
slam-la-

Deng Siya scooped up some clean water and casually washed the makeup off her face.

I raised my head and looked at my reflection in the mirror.

How long will this boring life last?
Deng Siya thought tiredly, feeling confused every day and not knowing what she should or could do.

Deng Siya’s current occupation is a stuntman.

This stand-in is not that stand-in. It won’t stop time with a shout of “Smash Varudo!” nor will it kill people with “Ola Ola Ola”. Instead, it refers to a special profession in the entertainment industry.

Their main role is to replace the original actors in the film to perform certain special and difficult actions and skills, or thrilling actions that the original actors are not capable of.

At the same time, stuntmen are usually not directly presented to the audience in the film, nor are they named in the cast.

Of course, some of the reasons are that the main actor’s time is too valuable and the pay is too high, so the crew can only reduce the content that the main actor needs to shoot and use cheaper stand-ins instead to reduce production costs.

Among them, there are many different types of stand-ins, including the more relaxed "literary stand-ins", the "martial arts stand-ins" that require martial arts skills, or the "hand stand-ins" needed when shooting close-ups of hands, etc.

Deng Siya is also a rather special stunt performer, she is a "nude stand-in".

When some leading actresses do not want to be photographed with their bodies exposed, it is often the turn of a stand-in like her to take the stage.

This is undeniable; the time and reputation of the real person are too valuable, and this also effectively avoids moments of exposure.

Deng Siya and others' income is naturally higher than that of ordinary stand-ins, and the requirements for their acting skills are not high.

After all, the audience only cares about how much they expose and whether they are white. Who cares about their acting skills?

As long as you can overcome shame, no, as long as you don’t show your face or your name, what is there to be ashamed of!

Deng Siya picked up the coat beside her and put it on, then walked out.

People were hurrying along the road, and no one cared whether she came or stayed.

"Hello, excuse me, do you have a dream?"

Deng Siya saw a young man in a black suit and a blue striped tie leaning against the wall at the exit and suddenly spoke.

Deng Siya frowned. It was not yet time to get off work, and there were not many people here at the moment.

To be more precise, there are only Deng Siya and the mysterious young man.

Not many people pass through this passage, but Deng Siya used to like walking through this passage.

So, he was talking to me?
Deng Siya couldn't help but think, but...

dream……

It's really a word that is far away from her!
After all, how much are dreams worth?
"Are you talking to me?"

Although she thought so, Deng Siya still asked, what if the other party was not talking to her, or maybe he was waiting for the wrong person.

It is better to say it directly and simply to avoid misunderstanding.

Waste time for both parties.

"Yes, I'm waiting for you."

The young man said without hesitation.

"Eh--"

Deng Siya stretched out her voice and spoke in a deliberately ambiguous tone.

"Did they deliberately wait for me, a helpless and lonely person like me, to pass by here? Is there some hidden agenda? Or is there some evil purpose?"

As she spoke, Deng Siya deliberately covered her chest with her hands, and with an expression that looked frightened but clearly a performance, she took a few steps back vigilantly.

"There is indeed an intention or purpose." The mysterious young man was not moved at all and said calmly.

It was as if he didn't hear anything else that Deng Siya implied in her words.

Deng Siya's eyes moved slightly and she looked at the mysterious young man again.

From her experience of hanging out in the crew, Li Qing's appearance and temperament were both of high quality, although the suit looked a bit inappropriate, as if it was temporarily rented from a clothing store.

However, the young man's heroic character is still revealed to the fullest. His face looks a little immature, as if he still retains the innocence and freshness of youth, but with the combination of black suit, the young man's eyes reveal a sense of calmness.

Stand straight, neat and tidy.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel warm and kind, and they couldn't help but want to get close to him.

How should I put it? To be honest, the mysterious young man is very much in line with Deng Siya’s aesthetic.

It's her dish.

But, is love something she can ask for?

"Wow--"

"Then it's my honor to have this handsome boy waiting for me."

Deng Siya said with a smile, more teasingly, and deliberately took a few steps closer.

Despite this action, Deng Siya's vigilance had actually been raised, as she had seen the news about the frequent disappearances of girls of school age recently.

To be honest, in Deng Siya's impression.

The previous frequent disappearances were more than a dozen or twenty years ago. After the country's crackdown, some of the missing people were rescued, and human trafficking incidents have fallen to a low point, not as rampant as before the crackdown.

But I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something, but disappearances seem to be happening frequently recently, and most of the missing persons are healthy young people of marriageable age, regardless of gender.

When Deng Siya was in the lounge, she also heard several actors chatting about these things.

Although she felt that it was unlikely that she would encounter such an incident, she still bought a few cans of pepper spray just in case.

Yes, Deng Siya had both hands hidden in her coat at this time, with a phone in one hand and pepper spray in the other, ready in case something went wrong.

She immediately dialed the emergency number and then hit the other party with pepper spray.

As for approaching the mysterious young man, it was not because Deng Siya was having a love affair.

The purpose was to get within the range of the anti-wolf spray so that it could be sprayed into his eyes immediately, achieving a blinding effect by taking the initiative.

I'm sorry, although you are very handsome.

But I am not a person who only looks at faces. Deng Siya is always on guard against the mysterious young man. If he makes any move that may cause her to misunderstand, she is ready to take action immediately and then run away.

Fortunately, the mysterious young man did not show any intention or action to approach Deng Siya, but remained where he was.

It seemed that he also knew that Deng Siya's vigilance was different from her carefree appearance.

"Can I ask you a question?"

The mysterious young man said this, but did not wait for Deng Siya to answer and continued talking on his own.

"Why do you need makeup?"

"Obviously, there are no close-ups of your face in the scenes, and your name does not appear anywhere in the film or TV series. The audience cannot possibly know that you are playing this role."

"So it's unnecessary to put makeup on your face, isn't it?"

"Ah... If that's what the makeup artist asked, just pretend I didn't say anything. But I guess no one would do such elaborate makeup for a stuntman."
