Chapter 59 The Arrival of the Charming Beauty: Shattering Pride, the Beauty's Delicate Aura
The next day, at 7:00 AM London time.
The doorbell rang repeatedly, waking Song Ying from her sleep.
I picked up my phone and groggily checked it. It was half an hour earlier than my alarm had been set—the production team had told them that filming would start at eight o'clock.
Song Ying didn't think much of it, assuming it was something important at the hotel. Still in her pajamas and slippers, she groggily walked towards the door.
The moment he opened the door, he was still yawning and hadn't even bothered to comb his hair.
A small, handheld camera head was first revealed.
Song Ying didn't see it clearly and subconsciously thought it was a privacy voyeurism video—she had just seen a news report yesterday about a sex crime gang in London that liked to secretly film women living alone, and even pretended to be disabled, attaching cameras to the end of their canes to secretly film up women's skirts on the subway and buses.
Acting faster than thinking, Song Ying snatched the camera, grabbed the man's wrist, twisted it behind his back, and threw him over her shoulder.
A cry of pain rang out.
Immediately following.
"Xiao Li, are you alright?"
"Oh my god, are you alright?!"
"What's going on? What's going on?!"
Amidst the chatter, several familiar figures emerged from the previously deserted doorway.
Look at those people, then look at the cameras in their hands.
"...?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Song Ying finally came to her senses and belatedly raised her hands, feigning guilt, "Um, did I accidentally hurt one of your staff members...?"
Meanwhile, in China it was afternoon, and viewers were watching the live stream:
[What just happened?]
[Aside from a huge yawn, the camera was shaking wildly, and I couldn't see anything clearly.]
[Nothing special, just quick hands (Song Ying's nine-grid yawning picture.jpg)]
[Great picture, I'm taking it!]
At this moment, Song Ying was unaware that the image of herself that had just appeared on camera had become a meme and was circulating online.
Similarly, the production team did not expect that what they originally intended as a surprise attack would be countered by the highly vigilant Song Ying.
After confirming that the staff were alright, Song Ying finally felt relieved and regained her senses.
"You didn't even tell me before you started recording." Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a misunderstanding.
"I just wanted to give the guests a surprise."
"There are no surprises, only shocks."
Song Ying made a comment.
After all that fuss, it was almost time to get up as planned, just in time to wash up and get ready.
Recently, the roles of Chu Tanyue and Feng Jingzi made Song Ying a household name, so many rivals started to attack her, making up stories about her having plastic surgery and saying that she is a beauty with heavy makeup.
She also said that of all her amazing film and television roles, six out of ten points are due to makeup and styling, two out of ten are due to character design, and the rest are basically silicone.
From top to bottom, nothing is real.
Fans tried to explain everywhere, but the only drama that featured Song Ying removing her makeup, "Detective Love," was taken down. There was no evidence to prove her innocence, and the real bare-faced photos that were posted were also said to be heavily photoshopped and fake.
"Princess" has a basic fan base, and with two real heiresses to compare in this episode, Song Ying is at a complete disadvantage compared to them. Therefore, many people are eager to see the real difference between grassroots stars and heiresses.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that under the high-definition lens, after Song Ying used a foaming net to apply the facial cleanser and rubbed it vigorously for a while before rinsing it with water, her makeup not only remained unchanged, but her face became even more radiant and glowing after being exposed to water, even more tender than a peeled egg.
Under the light, her eyes, like those of a titmouse, had pupils like amber, and her whole being was clear and radiant.
[Which marketing account is trying to fool me?! It's an incredibly real face, and they're saying it's plastic surgery? Do they think I'm stupid?]
[I hereby declare that, starting today, I am a huge fan of Song Yingyan! Hehehe, love you!]
[Don't try to steal my wife, upstairs!]
Aside from the necessary styling for filming, Song Ying doesn't usually like to wear heavy makeup; she only does basic skincare and sun protection.
Just like in "Detective Love," except for her initial appearance where she was asked by Sister Hong to wear makeup, she appeared on screen without makeup the next day.
But participating in "Princess" is different from "Detective Love".
She was very aware of the online comments.
Xu Lanyan simply wanted to use comparison and competition to crush her in every aspect, including talent, appearance, temperament, and even family background.
Then let everyone see that she, a nobody, is not as good as her, a rich heiress, as a match for Qin Shu.
To some extent, this is a demonstration of power and pressure from public opinion.
Xu Lanyan is very smart and also very proud.
Such people are often the winners in life.
Their family background and remarkable achievements have given them confidence.
But precisely because of this, such people are also very arrogant.
They absolutely will not allow anyone they look down on to be better than themselves.
This time, however, Song Ying was determined to show Xu Lanyan that family background doesn't define everything.
In this world, there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.
Even a rose blooming in the dust can outshine a peony in a jade basin.
-
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Song Ying carefully drew her eyebrows, sketching out two small arched eyebrows with a few simple strokes, presenting a gentle and elegant look that was completely different from her usual passionate and charming appearance.
Her eyes were already beautiful, like those of a titmouse, and with just a few strokes of eyeliner, her plump belly looked even more lively.
A light mole was applied under the left eye, and then a glossy berry-colored matte lip gloss was paired with a shimmering pink lipstick, making the lips appear even fuller and more alluring, like a jelly-like pure desire.
At first glance, she exudes an oriental beauty reminiscent of misty mountains.
But this kind of beauty is not the delicate beauty of a willow swaying in the wind, but rather a graceful and dignified beauty with outstanding temperament.
[With just a few strokes, it's like he's a completely different person!]
If Yingbao was a passionate rose before, then she is now a winter plum blossom braving the snow and frost!
[We strongly request Yingbao to release a makeup tutorial!]
It was nearly eight o'clock, and Xu Lanyan had already tidied up and gone downstairs.
There's been a lot of talk about her online lately, especially about her fondness for wearing cheongsams, which has been heavily promoted by marketing accounts.
I don't even know which genius came up with the idea to create a ranking list, saying that she is the most suitable girl to wear a cheongsam in the past twenty years.
As a result, Xu Lanyan earned another title: "Goddess of the Cheongsam".
Xu Lanyan's status as a wealthy heiress, her reputation as a talented woman, and her reputation as a goddess in cheongsams have made her a fan of many.
Today, Xu Lanyan chose a dark-colored cheongsam and styled her hair in a flowing style. At first glance, she looked gentle and graceful, exuding a refined and cultured air.
[Isn't this the feeling of a well-bred young lady?]
She truly seems like a talented woman who stepped out of the Republic of China era!
This outfit must be a creation by original designer SLOVEY! There seem to be only ten sets in the world, all custom-made to the client's measurements! Each piece costs hundreds of thousands!
Beauty really does cost money, and I'm a poor dog, I don't deserve it QAQ
Wen Yize also thought Xu Lanyan was pretty, but not because of her clothes.
Speaking of beautiful clothes, in his memory, Xu Lanyan's most beautiful outfit was the moon-blue Hanfu she wore when they first met under the moonlight. She looked like a jade rabbit spirit descended from heaven, startling him so much that she ran away in panic.
But since then, Xu Lanyan seems to have never worn that Hanfu again.
Moreover, to be honest, Wen Yize always felt that he was an ordinary person. He thought that the embroidered Hanfu was really beautiful, but he could never understand what was so beautiful about the cheongsam, which was just a few pieces of cloth.
Besides being able to outline a girl's figure.
But if that's the case, wouldn't those bodycon skirts and tight-fitting clothes show even more?
Is it to avoid the smell of the world?
At this moment, the refined and scholarly air emanating from Xu Lanyan further solidified Wen Yize's opinion of her.
That's right, the cheongsam is meant to add a touch of cultural sophistication to one's appearance.
Ke Lanyan doesn't need a cheongsam; she must be quite cultured, right?
The common man Wen Yize was thinking wildly, and then he praised it in the most direct and plain language, in a common man's way.
"Lanyan, you look beautiful today!"
"Thanks."
Xu Lanyan responded gently, but her gaze kept drifting towards Qin Shu on the other side.
However, Qin Shu kept his eyes closed and rested the whole time, without even lifting his eyelids.
Until footsteps were heard.
He suddenly opened his eyes, got up and walked towards the elevator.
This detail was quickly noticed by many viewers.
[Wow, is Brother Shu using sound to locate people?!]
[To be able to identify Sister Ying just by her footsteps, that's truly amazing!]
It's either about being extremely familiar with each other, or having perfect teamwork.
At the same time, the camera focuses on Song Ying.
The staff who had been gathered in the hall suddenly began to scream.
Even Wen Yize couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"
Then he suddenly covered his mouth.
