Sheng Yan stood in place, watching him leave with a trace of obscure light flashing through his eyes.
If Kevin were sober, his refusal would rely prompt Kevin to persuade him kindly, since as a top star, what Kevin didn’t want to do couldn’t be forcefully demanded by brand companies.
But Kevin was drunk now, and a drunk had no reason to speak of, and it was pointless to reason with a drunk.
Sheng Yan’s eyebrows knit imperceptibly; he even had so suspicions that Kevin had anticipated his refusal and pretended to be drunk.
After so thought, he made a call to Zhang Ming, asking Zhang Ming to accompany him.
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the WeChat ssage on his phone, sent a quick text, and then put away his phone.
In the group chat, Sheng Yan replied, "I’ll show you tomorrow, I’m busy with sothing."
Knowing he was occupied, the others didn’t bother him anymore and chatted casually. Seeing that the night was deepening, they said their goodnights to each other.
That night, while He Jinxia slept, the scene of Sheng Yan strutting down the runway in his clothes hauntingly lingered in her mind.
The next day, He Jinxia was filming at the set, shooting a scene where her character was getting married. After finishing the wedding scene, the next scenes were about her life with the Ciming Family.
Once the scenes about her life with the Ciming Family were done, her part in the film would be almost completely shot.
All in all, she was ultimately just a minor female character. Even if she appeared from beginning to end, her screen ti was pitifully scant.
After breakfast, He Jinxia was hurried by the makeup artists into her wedding clothes.
The wedding attire, made to Gu Qiao’s specifications to authentically replicate ancient phoenix crown and cape, was embroidered bit by bit by several artisans. From the mont the production team decided to undertake it, they spent a full three months to complete it.
The ticulous crafting of the wedding attire was because Gu Qiao planned to create a buzz by auctioning it off for charity after the show aired. If not auctioned, he also planned to arrange for the clothing to be exhibited in a museum.
One of these two plans, once accomplished, would instantly elevate the prestige of "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People."
The elaborate wedding attire was cumberso to wear but surprisingly well-fitting once on. The only issue was that it felt a bit tight around the chest area, making He Jinxia feel sowhat suffocated.
Two makeup artists, one styling her hair and the other applying her makeup, couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing He Jinxia’s comnts.
The one doing her makeup said, "This phoenix crown and cape were made according to the asurents you announced after your successful weight loss. You lost a bit more weight later, but fortunately, it doesn’t look too loose.
You feeling it’s tight is because the asurents you announced weren’t accurate—it’s not the production team’s fault. If anyone’s to bla, it’s you for not being honest with your official asurents!"
The makeup artist styling her hair added, "Exactly, hey, Jinxia, I rember even when you were heavier, your chest asurents seed about the sa as now. You’ve lost so much weight, and I thought this area would have slimd down as well, but it didn’t. Did you do sothing special to preserve it while losing weight?"
The other makeup artist asked curiously, "Yeah, did you do sothing to protect it, or do you have so special technique to enhance the bust? Teach us a few tricks!"
He Jinxia’s face suddenly flushed with warmth, her earlobes turning a tender pink.
She felt a surge of embarrassnt within her. Having been in the modern world for so long, she thought she had almost adapted. Yet when asked about a relatively intimate physical topic, she still felt sowhat embarrassed.
He Jinxia lowered her eyes and said softly, "It’s just... a thod that my dietitian ca up for . He said to wrap a tight band of cloth around that area and try not to let it shake when running. That way, when other places slim down, that spot remains almost unchanged."
The other two makeup artists suddenly realized it and expressed their understanding.
"So that’s how it is. If you think about it, losing weight is all about exercise, and if it’s wrapped tightly, it won’t move!"
"Oh, I’ve heard of this thod too. I heard that female stars in Japan lose weight exactly by this thod. So actresses even deliberately gain weight and then use this thod to slim down, creating a curvaceous devilish figure!"
"That sounds magical. I might try it myself one day..."
He Jinxia silently listened to the two female makeup artists chatting about all sorts of things. After several hours, when her styling was finally complete, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Those two makeup artists were just... a bit too enthusiastic.
As she stepped out, the assistant director was positioning the extras, and He Jinxia took the chance to rest. At that mont, Cheng Xiaohua ca over, seeing no one paying attention to them, she whispered,
"It seems Gu Qiao had eyed you for the female supporting role early on, even adapting the wedding outfits to your body shape. If only we had known, we could have asked for more initially."
As He Jinxia’s assistant, Cheng Xiaohua was able to stay nearby while Jinxia was getting her makeup done and naturally overheard what the two makeup artists had said.
He Jinxia’s eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Fortunately, we did raise the price later. My status and popularity are there, without a single work released, that’s as much as it gets, can’t ask for too high."
Cheng Xiaohua’s brows relaxed, "That’s true, I was just feeling a bit uneasy, so I ntioned it. Gu Runfei is equally second-tier, but his asking price is more than double yours, even Luo Dingxin probably earns more."
He Jinxia was quite open about this matter, or rather, she wasn’t too concerned about it.
For her, as long as she could eat well, dress well, and live worry-free, she was indifferent to pricing, especially since Luo You was handling this aspect.
She spoke lightly, "The contract is signed, fretting about it now is useless. How did your inquiry go this morning?"
Upon ntioning the fight between Yang Xiaoqing and Luo Sifang, a glint of excitent flashed in Cheng Xiaohua’s eyes, and even though she spoke in a hushed voice, the novelty was evident.
"You were right. The next morning, so crew mbers went to check and the jewelry in the jewelry box reappeared.
Others wanted to examine the records to understand more, but were inford that the person in charge of the jewelry was negligent, so there was no cara on last night. Hence, who took the jewelry and who returned it, remains unclear!"
"Since the jewelry issue was resolved, Gu Qiao didn’t pursue further and instructed the actors to resu their positions and restarted the shooting!" Cheng Xiaohua said this.
Finally, she added, "This morning, many people also saw Yang Xiaoqing and Luo Sifang chatting amiably, walking hand in hand, breaking the rumors of discord between the two on set."
He Jinxia’s lips curved slightly, a sharp look flashed in her eyes as she said nonchalantly, "Both of them have similar tactics, it’s hard to say who will end up outmaneuvering who."
Cheng Xiaohua paused, then said, "Fat Emperor, are you implying they’ll continue to cause trouble?"
He Jinxia responded indifferently, "Once the bow is drawn, there’s no turning back. Since Luo Sifang chose to strike first, given Yang Xiaoqing’s character, there’s no reason for her to endure. Not only will it escalate, but it will also blow up."
Cheng Xiaohua frowned, about to say sothing, when suddenly a commotion arose on the set. Looking up, it turned out Yang Xiaoqing had arrived and was greeting the crew mbers.
