"Ziyu, don't talk nonsense. Ran Jie hasn't made any such arrangements yet."
She knew the rules of the entertainment industry; sometimes, for publicity purposes, male and female celebrities would be deliberately paired up to attract more attention.
If the pairing is successful, it will be easy to achieve a result where one plus one is greater than two.
After observing Ran Jie for the past few days, she has come to understand him a bit. Ran Jie has his own control over the development of artists, and he does not allow artists to form CP (couple pairings) without his permission, or even give the public the wrong impression.
Su Ziyu raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, okay, I misspoke, I was just joking with the stylist."
Then Su Ziyu gestured to the stylist with his eyes, "You know that what I just said was all nonsense."
The stylist immediately understood Su Ziyu's intention and quickly echoed, "Yes, I know."
"Miss Jian, don't worry, I've been in this industry for a long time and I know how to behave."
That's what the stylist said, but that's not what she really thought.
Her eyes had been darting between those two people the whole time. Su Ziyu's gaze towards Jian Ruoxi was anything but innocent.
The stylist spent a lot of time on Jian Ruoxi. While doing her hair and makeup, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Jian, you have such a great natural look. You are the epitome of natural beauty."
Jian Ruoxi was embarrassed by what she said, and her cheeks turned slightly red, like the blush of a ripe half-red sunset.
The stylist simply simplified her look, emphasizing her bone structure and avoiding any heavy colors, even blush.
It showcases Jian Ruoxi's natural beauty to the fullest extent.
"Miss Jane, are you satisfied with the look in the mirror?"
Jian Ruoxi nodded repeatedly, extremely satisfied; she herself couldn't even create such a makeup look.
Light and flawless, with clean eye makeup, it even has a delicate, broken beauty when viewed up close, easily arousing a person's protective instincts.
The stylist didn't choose a bright lipstick for Jian Ruoxi, but instead opted for a dusty rose shade that better highlighted her natural beauty.
The staff came to the dressing room to urge the performer to come backstage when they were ready to go on stage. The recording is about to begin.
Su Ziyu and Jian Ruoxi arrived at the waiting area. Su Ziyu was fine; he had experience participating in variety shows and was quite adept at handling this type of entertainment-oriented variety show.
However, Jian Ruoxi was still a little nervous. Before starting, she took deep breaths to calm herself down as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to handle this variety show," Su Ziyu reassured him.
He was extremely grateful that it was him, not Lu Shen, who was beside Jian Ruoxi at this moment.
"Have you forgotten? Ran Jie's assistant was with us the whole time while we were getting our hair and makeup done, and she explained the general process to us."
Ran Jie always does his job perfectly, and he never goes into battle unprepared.
As early as when the program team handed over the process sheet, Ran Jie had already thoroughly studied every step.
Have your assistant explain to them, based on their individual strengths, which segment would be the best opportunity for them to showcase themselves.
Only after the program airs can he continue to promote them based on the program.
"Yes, I remember." Jian Ruoxi had already memorized the process, afraid that she might forget it.
The host is giving the opening introductions; their turn to come on stage is coming soon.
Su Ziyu looked at Jian Ruoxi beside him with deep affection, "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the electronic screens in front of the two men rose up, and they appeared simultaneously.
Off-set, the director was constantly talking on a walkie-talkie to the staff in the control room.
"Camera number one, give them a close-up shot, yes, just like that, slowly pull back as they walk, then cut to a wide shot."
"Unit 3, now cut to the audience seating area. I need to see the audience's reaction."
At this moment, Ran Jie was in the control room, where he could observe his artists' reactions from all angles.
His assistant stood beside him, holding a notebook and pen, ready to jot down Ran Jie's words at any moment.
When Jian Ruoxi first appeared, even Ran Jie, who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the entertainment industry, couldn't help but be surprised.
Jian Ruoxi wore a simple white T-shirt on top, paired with light blue jeans and white sneakers. With her fresh and clean makeup, she looked like a pure and innocent senior in college.
"When you get back, remember to instruct the publicity team to first promote Ruoxi's look today when they are promoting her."
Ran Jie was very satisfied with Jian Ruoxi's look this time; it was almost flawless.
Originally, I brought them here today just to help Jian Ruoxi avoid the Lu family's engagement today. I didn't expect that coming to this show would be such a good thing, as there was an unexpected surprise.
"Ziyu's styling is as consistently excellent as ever, so let them continue with the old style."
The assistant quickly wrote down everything Ran Jie had just said.
On stage, the host is guiding them through their self-introductions.
"Hello, my name is Jian Ruoxi, and I play the Empress in the drama."
"Hello everyone, I am Su Ziyu, who plays the emperor in the drama."
If someone listened carefully, they would have noticed that Su Ziyu's self-introduction was actually just a direct quote from Jian Ruoxi.
He is far more famous than Jian Ruoxi is now; everyone knows him, so there's no need for such a formal introduction.
He said this simply to prove to her in his own way that he was there for her and to reassure her not to be nervous.
The host also prepared a Q&A session, allowing Jian Ruoxi and Su Ziyi to share some interesting stories from the filming process.
This question should first be answered by Su Ziyu.
"Ruoxi plays the Empress, who is always supported wherever she goes, and her entourage is even grander than mine, the Emperor."
Jian Ruoxi chimed in at the opportune moment, "Could it be that His Majesty is jealous?"
"There's no need to be jealous, but I just feel that I sometimes get confused about where the harem is. Every time I go to your palace, I only have a little eunuch with me."
"Who is the real emperor?"
The dialogue between the two was brilliant. The director was very prescient, as he had the camera focused solely on them from the very beginning.
The unspoken understanding and familiarity between the two naturally shone through the screen.
"The feeling of that eye contact!" The director was extremely satisfied with this shot.
Ran Jie nodded repeatedly. He admired Jian Ruoxi's ability to adjust herself and record the variety show in such a short time.
It seems I underestimated her before.
He can try arranging more challenging engagements for her in the future. People need to be challenged more so that he can discover Jian Ruoxi's true potential.
