From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius
Chapter 230: Chloe: I Don’t Know How to Act
When Chloe Sinclair appeared on set, the crew certainly knew what it meant.
Many of them got teary-eyed; a huge weight was finally lifted from their shoulders.
"Chloe is a literal goddess for the production team. Our show is probably saved now."
As soon as Chloe walked onto the set, the eyes of many crew members turned toward her.
Chloe graciously allowed them to look her over.
Paul Lancaster, however, was extremely excited. "Where are the makeup artist and stylist?" he called out at once. "Quick, get Chloe into her costume."
Director Lancaster was known for his swift action on set, so the crew under him reacted just as quickly, returning to their posts in an instant.
Without a word, they got straight to work.
Chloe was led into a tent by the makeup artist and stylist.
After putting on the costume and having her hair styled, Chloe let the makeup artist have her way with her face.
"Chloe, your skin is just too good."
It was as smooth as silk and as fair as jade.
The makeup artist was a young woman who loved stories with tropes like *The Overbearing Prince Falls for Me*, where such words were often used to describe the female lead.
She used to think it was just literary exaggeration, but she never expected to meet a girl in real life who was exactly as described in a novel.
"This face of yours gives me no sense of accomplishment."
Chloe blinked her long lashes, her eyes filled with confusion. The expression made her look both dazed and adorable.
The makeup artist was instantly won over. She smiled and said, "You’re so beautiful, I don’t even know where to start."
For some people, makeup could cover flaws. For others, it only masked their natural aura, making it rather superfluous.
Being praised like this, Chloe smiled. "Miss, you can just follow the makeup described in the script." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The makeup artist froze for a second, then slapped her own forehead in a moment of realization.
Seeing Chloe’s face, she had only been thinking about how to make her look even more beautiful, completely forgetting that the makeup needed to fit the character in the show.
If Chloe hadn’t reminded her, she still wouldn’t have realized.
A short while later, Chloe walked out of the makeup tent.
She wore a white dress and a simple pair of white sneakers. Her hair cascaded down, and beneath the shadow of her long eyelashes were a pair of pitch-black eyes that shone like amber. A single glance was enough to captivate anyone, making it impossible to look away.
In addition to the script, *Rivers and Mountains* also had a source novel of about eighty thousand characters.
The description of the male lead’s sister in the book could be summed up with a few words: youthful and alluring.
Without a doubt, Chloe’s look was a resounding success.
Director Lancaster’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He stared intently at Chloe and praised, "Chloe, you *are* Vivian."
Just then, Gabriel Sinclair also walked out from a nearby changing room.
He looked up and saw Chloe, freezing for a moment. A flash of amazement crossed his eyes, followed by a torrent of praise. "That’s my sister, all right. Beautiful."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and beckoned Chloe over. "Come on, let’s take a few selfies. We can send them to Dad later."
This time, Chloe didn’t refuse.
Seeing this, Director Lancaster, who was standing to the side, suddenly said, "You should post those pictures on Weibo later for some promotion. When the official stills are ready, I’ll have the photo editor work overtime. We’ll post them tonight."
They had already taken promotional photos before, but the original female lead had double-booked another project, so they’d had to delete that Weibo post.
"Director Lancaster, shouldn’t we do a screen test first?"
Chloe’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Before coming here, she had been very calm about it. She was just going through the motions; if she could act, great, if not, then so be it.
’But did Director Lancaster mean they were going to start shooting right away?’
"I... I don’t know how to act."
