Chapter 2 This live broadcast is definitely a stain on her career.
"Things should be prioritized. I don't think two hours is too tight." Song Qiuchi said calmly.
"Two hours isn't enough for you?! It takes time to get to the set, right? And makeup takes time, too, right? And what's the name of your movie? April Fools' Game, right? I know nothing about its plot."
"It's 'Fool's Game.'" Song Qiuchi frowned. "You haven't seen it?"
Who said that a hit movie has to be seen by everyone? Cheng Luan said confidently, "I haven't seen it."
Song Qiuchi seemed to find it incomprehensible. "The Golden Harvest Film Festival's Best Film of the Year Award, and you haven't seen it?"
Cheng Luanxin asked back, "Have you ever heard of 'My Enemy', which won the Golden Harvest Film Festival's Best Music Award?"
Song Qiuchi: "...I've heard a little bit about it."
Cheng Luanxin said unhappily, "That's all. Tell me what this movie is about."
Song Qiuchi lowered his head and sent a message to Cheng Luanxin: "This is the manuscript my agent wrote for me. It contains some possible questions. Please prepare accordingly."
Cheng Luanxin swiped the progress bar down several times but couldn't reach the end. The entire page was densely packed with words. It would take more than ten or twenty minutes to finish reading it, not to mention memorizing it.
"I don't need to memorize this exactly, right? Just getting it roughly right will do, right?"
Song Qiuchi stared at her: "The premise is that you can do it roughly."
Cheng Luanxin: "..."
I really want to give up.
Song Qiuchi could tell Cheng Luanxin wasn't very reliable: "Forget it, I'll go with you."
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the livestream. The venue was divided into several studios, each occupied by different recording and filming sessions. Cheng Luanxin, a new singer whose daily work was mostly done in the studio, rarely ventured into such settings, and couldn't help but glance around.
Song Qiuchi said with a straight face: "Can you be more generous and not look so inexperienced?"
Cheng Luanxin: "..."
She took a deep breath and straightened her back.
The two walked into the dressing room. The makeup artist happened to be someone they both knew, and upon seeing them, she said, "Teacher Song is here? Hey, why is Luan Xin here too?"
Cheng Luan felt sad. Why was Song Qiuchi called Teacher Song, and she was Luanxin? Wasn't she worthy of the title of Teacher Cheng?
Song Qiuchi said politely, "I happened to be free today, and I happened to meet Qiuchi, so I came here with her."
The makeup artist smiled and said, "I watched the awards ceremony last night. Congratulations to you two!"
Song Qiuchi also smiled: "I can't do without your support."
The makeup artist turned to Cheng Luanxin and took out a set of brushes from her makeup case with familiarity. "Here, your special brushes. Why didn't you put on some foundation before going out today?"
Cheng Luanxin felt a little guilty at this moment. After all, Song Qiuchi next to her had not neglected her makeup at all: "I got up a little late today, and I was a little anxious to go out, haha..."
"You have to put on sunscreen even if you're in a hurry. You have a thin stratum corneum and you get sunburned easily." The makeup artist skillfully applied sunscreen to Cheng Luanxin. "Don't be lazy next time."
Cheng Luanxin puffed out her cheeks: "Oh..."
The makeup artist laughed: "Why do you seem a little weird today? Are you going for a cute look?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Song Qiuchi, who was drinking water nearby, almost choked on the water.
Cheng Luanxin said hurriedly: "No, no, there is no such thing as a route. Isn't this how I usually act?"
As she spoke, she winked at Song Qiuchi.
Song Qiuchi shook his index finger in front of his chest, meaning for her to stop talking.
Fortunately, the makeup artist didn't say much. She had done makeup for Song Qiuchi many times and was very familiar with Song Qiuchi's facial features. She quickly completed the makeup for her.
Cheng Luanxin had to admit that Song Qiuchi's appearance was really good, both sophisticated and charming. Paired with the outfit her sponsor gave her, it perfectly highlighted her figure and was really easy to attract fans.
The two entered the lounge in advance to wait for the shooting.
Cheng Luanxin finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa: "Didn't we get caught too quickly?"
Song Qiuchi frowned. "How dare you say that? Sit up straight and prepare for the live broadcast."
Cheng Luanxin straightened her back and took out her cell phone: "It's so tiring to be you."
However, there was no other way at this point, so she had to seriously study the questions and answers. These answers might be simple for Song Qiuchi himself, but Cheng Luanxin, who had never seen the movie, couldn't even sort out the relationships between the characters. Asking her to talk about the life trajectories and character development of these characters, she had no idea how to talk about it and could only memorize them by rote.
She felt dizzy and sleepy from reading it. Song Qiuchi had no choice but to break it down and tell her bit by bit, but the effect was not very good.
Seeing that the live broadcast time was about to start, Song Qiuchi could only lower his expectations: "Cheng Luanxin, I don't ask you to tell the content of the interview perfectly, I just hope that you can be generous and decent. Is this okay with you?"
Cheng Luanxin felt that Song Qiuchi's definition of "generous and decent" might be different from others: "I'll give it a try. Just don't expect too much from me."
As Song Qiuchi watched her go, Cheng Luanxin walked into the live broadcast room like a robot, sat down next to the host, and gave a professional fake smile.
Song Qiuchi: "..."
The live broadcast officially begins.
The camera in the live broadcast room was placed on the table, with a screen behind it. The audience's comments could be displayed directly on the screen. At the beginning, it was completely black, which made Cheng Luanxin a little nervous.
The host smiled and began, "Dear audience, sorry to have kept you waiting. Our guest today is Song Qiuchi, who has garnered widespread attention since entering the film industry. Qiuchi, would you please say hello to everyone?"
Cheng Luanxin waved to the camera: "Hello everyone, nice to meet you all, I'm Qiu Chi."
The barrage is flying:
"Wow, my wife is so beautiful."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Akichi's makeup is so A-rated today!!!"
"Congratulations to Akiike for winning Best Actress!!"
The host then asked, "Qiu Chi just won the Golden Harvest Award for Best Actress last night. Does Qiu Chi have anything to say about this?"
Cheng Luanxin would answer this question: "I am very honored to receive the Golden Harvest Award for Best Actress. Thank you for your continued support. I will continue to work hard to present more excellent works to everyone."
The host asked with a smile, "In 'Fool's Game,' Siwen is a very charming character. So, Qiu Chi, what do you think is the most similarity between you and Siwen?"
There is an answer to this question as well. Cheng Luanxin replied: "I think it's about always being curious about the unknown..."
I asked a few questions in a row, all of which Cheng Luanxin knew how to answer. She answered fluently, and the comments were harmonious. She gained more confidence, and her movements became more natural and relaxed.
At this point, the host suddenly changed the subject: "Did anything interesting happen during the filming? I think our audience should be curious too."
Cheng Luan was stunned. The answer to this question was not in the answer list, so how could she make it up?
Cheng Luanxin bravely said: "I think the whole filming process is quite interesting. I have different and fresh experiences every day. I also received a lot of care and encouragement from friends..."
Host: "Oh? Which friends are they specifically?"
Cheng Luanxin: "..."
Do you have to be so inquisitive?
She had no idea about Song Qiuchi's circle of friends, let alone which friends might care about and encourage her, so she had no idea where to start.
Looking at the host's expectant gaze, she rolled her eyes: "Uh... Cheng Luanxin?"
Song Qiuchi, who was also watching the live broadcast outside the door: "..."
Barrage: “????”
The host revealed a gossipy look: "Oh? Are you close to Cheng Luanxin?"
That would be wonderful. At this point, I could only make up a story: "Well, she and I are very close. We've been classmates since high school. We've supported each other all the way to where we are today, and we often encourage each other when the other is in trouble."
"What an enviable friendship between classmates." The host finally stopped embarrassing her. "Cheng Luanxin also won the Best Music Award last night. It's true that outstanding people have outstanding friends."
The excellent Cheng Luanxin finally found a topic: "Everyone is also welcome to listen to Cheng Luanxin's new song "Half Day Dream of Her"!"
Barrage:
"Unexpected dog food?!"
"Wow, is this the legendary meeting at the summit?"
"I know, I know. I'll go listen to it after the live broadcast ends!"
"Is this the first time Akichi has discussed his relationships in public? It's a bit ridiculous, what's going on?!"
Song Qiuchi couldn't bear it anymore, so he closed the live broadcast room and went outside to relax.
This live broadcast is definitely a stain on her career.
After walking a few steps, the cell phone rang. The caller was Cheng Luanxin's assistant Xia Wenwen.
"Hello."
"Hello, what's the hello?" Xia Wenwen and Cheng Luanxin had similar personalities, both shouting and yelling. "Oh my god, did you watch Song Qiuchi's live broadcast?"
Song Qiuchi: "...I saw it."
Xia Wenwen said in an exaggerated tone, "Did you hear what Song Qiuchi said? She actually said that you two have a good relationship and have supported each other all the way to today. She also said that you often encourage each other. Was she under a spell?"
Song Qiuchi: "...I don't know what she thinks."
"Oh my god, she's even promoting your single. This is truly a bummer. Will she turn around and extort advertising fees from us?"
Song Qiuchi: “…No.”
Xia Wenwen finally noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong with you today? Are you unhappy?"
It's really hard to be happy in a situation like today. Song Qiuchi took a deep breath: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
Xia Wenwen understood: "You haven't been composing all night again, have you? Take some time to rest. You're young and you don't notice it now, but in two years your body won't be able to take it!"
Song Qiuchi recalled that it was indeed terrifying to wake up in the morning holding a guitar: "Thank you for your concern."
After hanging up the phone, Song Qiuchi took a deep breath.
