"What happened? You've lost weight," said the makeup artist as she helped Yan Huan adjust her clothes. The makeup artist liked Yan Huan and had a lot of respect for her; Yan Huan was the youngest among all the actors, but she was just as skilled at acting as the older, much more experienced actors. "Are you trying to lose more weight? That isn't necessary, you know." The makeup artist was genuinely worried for Yan Huan; the actress was only 20 years old, after all. Most people her age were still in college, but she had given that up to be an actress because she needed money immediately to support herself and her family.
"Look, there's so much more space now," the makeup artist lamented as she tugged at the loose fabric around Yan Huan's waist. She couldn't understand it: it had been less than a week since Yan Huan had last gotten into costume, but she was already so much thinner.
