Chapter 27 – Issue 1!
While the program was being recorded, Ning Fei was waiting backstage and watching the live broadcast on TV with everyone else.
The first show is a 30 to 20 competition, which sounds cruel, but as soon as the show starts, 20 beauties and 10 handsome guys walk on the stage. The judges sit at the front of the catwalk, with a screen in front of them to see the side view. The audience of the show sat on both sides of the T-stage and behind the judges. The girls in the front row were fully made up and dressed fashionably, and they really looked like they were there to watch the show.
Just like at a formal brand launch, the models went on stage one by one, walked to the front of the catwalk, stood at a fixed point, and then went back. But what is different from a press conference is that the background music during the fashion show not only includes music, but also the announcement of the models' personal information.
Name, age, height, weight, measurements, leg length, arm length, head-to-body ratio...the scary yet real data echoed around the show. Even though the clothes made these handsome men and beautiful women look taller, the series of numbers still showed the models' most naked side.
These data were measured on-site during the early stages of filming of the program. All the numbers reported by the newlyweds when they registered will be invalid. Of course, the program also captured other scenes of these young newcomers, including their interactions. After post-editing, it will be easier to put together the required script.
“How cruel!”
An assistant who was not sure what to do was also watching TV backstage. Seeing these newcomers going on stage with their own body data, and having to keep calm and do their best to show it, he couldn't help but sigh: "If my data were exposed like this, I wouldn't be able to move my hands and feet, let alone walk on the catwalk in such terrible high heels..."
"Because these numbers were measured by many people together, and they reported them publicly on the spot, they have been criticized once in public." The staff member of the N company next to them replied, "After experiencing that scene, they are more or less able to withstand pressure now."
"Yes, this is normal. After all, their valuable thing is this 'clothes rack'." A staff member with an ST sign also sighed, "To enter this industry, reporting data is the most basic. Especially the body data of famous models and supermodels, which is considered an open secret in the industry and can be obtained by asking casually."
Ning Fei listened to their conversation and thought to himself that this was just the beginning. No matter how good the data is, it is difficult to put it into practice. If a model finds that a piece of clothing is too tight or cannot be put on at all when trying on clothes, the looks from the designer and the brand owner will really make the model question her life.
——Of course, the idea that “the designer’s design is too against the will of heaven and too contrary to the natural laws of the human body” would never exist in those people’s minds.
In order to reduce the occurrence of this situation, Ning Fei is very strict in managing Su Cenxi's body shape. The scale at Su Cenxi's home is connected to Ning Fei's APP, and she measures herself once in the morning and once in the evening. Ning Fei will also conduct surprise inspections, and any floating rate that exceeds the limit will be reduced immediately. Su Cenxi used to be annoyed by this kind of strict management where "you'll be scolded if you eat one more bite", but now she has obediently accepted all management and even took the initiative to report everything she eats and all her daily fitness items.
Su Cenxi obviously remembered her own experience, and chatted with Lin Man, who was also an observation guest, in the observation room: "They are all so thin! No one must have eaten the snacks in the rest area. It looks like no one has touched them at all."
Lin Man nodded: "I saw some cameras moving around near the rest area. If they are caught eating snacks, they might get points deducted."
Su Cenxi said: "What, there are cameras! Then I don't dare to go either. If I get caught, I'm done for..."
What he said was quite interesting. Later, when the show was broadcast, many fans asked Ning Fei to check the surveillance footage to confirm whether Su Cenxi had cheated. Ning Fei replied with a comment from the studio's official account saying "we are investigating", which made Su Cenxi's first episode on the star-studded show a small hot search, but that's a story for another time.
The live show screen cut to the judges' panel again.
Ning Fei saw Duan Yunhong working seriously. No matter which newcomer stands in the front to show off, no matter how good the data is reported, this man always has a serious face. Every time he followed the newcomers and flipped through the materials, drawing circles on paper with a pen, the audience felt an indescribable sense of tension.
Looking at this serious face, Ning Fei had the urge to play a mischievous act of "deliberate destruction".
He took out his cell phone and took two pictures of the man on the screen. Then he sent the pictures he had taken on the big screen on the red carpet and the current two pictures to Duan Yunhong, along with two messages.
The first one: [Mr. Duan is so strict in managing his facial expressions, you should make your debut instead of always encouraging me to do something. 】
Second article: [By the way, were you the one who did the job of reporting statistics while walking on the catwalk? That’s too bad, bro! 】
Of course, these messages were not responded to quickly.
Ning Fei knew that Duan Yunhong would be very busy today and was prepared to not receive a reply all day. But in fact, Duan Yunhong’s reply came not long after the fashion show ended.
Ning Fei was surprised when he saw a little red dot light up on his message bar. Because after more than an hour of the catwalk show, the audience had dispersed, but today's recording was far from over. According to the schedule, the program team will make some preparations and will then enter the judges' discussion session. Only four judges are filmed in this segment. They select 19 candidates for promotion based on the newcomers' data and stage performance. There is still one spot left, which will be selected from the remaining newcomers after discussion among the guests. Finally, the judges and guests will go to the models together to announce the list of qualifiers, and the first round of the competition will be over.
In other words, although Su Cenxi is taking a temporary break and relaxing now, the judging panel should be busy preparing for the show. How could Duan Yunhong still have time to reply to messages?
Ning Fei clicked on his message bar and saw three new messages in total.
Article 1: [The presentation segment was discussed by the program team in a meeting, not my personal opinion. 】
Article 2: [Why are you taking pictures of me? 】
Article 3: [Did you receive flowers just now? 】
"Ah...?" Ning Fei was a little confused when he saw the last line. After accepting gifts from fans outside the venue, he directly put both bouquets of flowers into Su Cenxi's nanny car before entering the studio. As for various promotional photos, of course I haven’t had time to take and post them. How did Duan Yunhong know that he received flowers?
Ning Fei replied directly: [How do you know I received the flowers? 】
Duan Yunhong: [I see. 】
Ning Fei: [? ? ? Where did you see it? 】
Duan Yunhong: [Ning Feifei. Resounded throughout the venue. 】
Ning Fei: ...How come he heard everything!
Ning Fei: [Weren’t you walking on the red carpet at that time? 】
Duan Yunhong: [Too loud. 】
Ning Fei didn't want to recall this moment with him anymore, so she changed the subject: [Aren't you busy now? Haven’t filmed the judges segment yet? 】
Duan Yunhong: [Ten minutes later. 】
Duan Yunhong: [After the show tonight, come to my place? 】
Ning Fei was drinking water at that time, and almost choked when he saw Duan Yunhong's question. He took the phone in one hand and quickly typed a reply: [Mr. Duan, I found that you have a strange habit! Why do you always like to talk about this kind of thing in a serious situation? 】
Duan Yunhong: [I just said it as I thought of it. We haven't been together in the evening for a while, are you free tonight? 】
Seeing him being so frank, Ning Fei felt that her hesitation was a bit awkward, so she had no choice but to reply: [Okay then. 】
Duan Yunhong: [See you tonight, Ning Feifei. 】
When Ning Fei saw those three words again, she couldn't help but imagine the tone of Duan Yunhong calling "Ning Feifei" and suddenly felt her hair stand on end.
[Don’t call me that!] 】
***
In the evening, the program team filmed the segment where the list of qualifiers was announced.
Some are happy and some are sad. The judges had made many harsh comments during the previous discussion, saying things like "the age is too old, the neck is too short, the legs are not in good proportion." However, during the announcement session, they gave many warm and encouraging comments, which moved some of the newcomers to tears. Especially the "guest rescues people" part at the end, which is full of suspense and obviously a good time to insert advertisements.
After filming this segment, Su Cenxi's work was over. Ning Fei asked him to take a photo with the bouquet in the nanny car, then logged into Su Cenxi's social media account, posted the message of finishing work along with the photo, and then got out of the nanny car.
Carrying a small bouquet of flowers given by fans, I drove to Duan Yunhong's house.
Duan Yunhong had to hold a short meeting with the program crew after the recording, so Ning Fei went to his house first. Ning Fei also bought some midnight snacks on the way, such as grilled skewers and fried noodles, without caring at all whether Duan Yunhong would eat them or not, or whether the simple and stylish home was not suitable for them. After he entered the door, he couldn't find a suitable vase to put the flowers in for a long time. In the end, I had no choice but to open a new bottle of mineral water and crush the bottle to use as a vase.
So when Duan Yunhong returned home, the first thing he smelled when he opened the door was the strong smell of grilled skewers; when he entered the restaurant, he saw a table full of "brown" street food and a beautiful bouquet of flowers stuck in half a mineral water bottle.
"..." Duan Yunhong didn't know what to comment on first.
Ning Fei put down the chicken wings very naturally and greeted him: "Good evening. Why did you come back wearing the clothes you wore for the show? Are you trying to show off to me...ah, is this your private clothes?"
"Well, I came back after removing my makeup." Duan Yunhong took off his coat and walked towards the dining table while unbuttoning his cuffs. "Today, a model fainted from hunger backstage, but you ate as much as you could. Can you finish all this by yourself?"
Ning Fei said: "Even your share is included."
Duan Yunhong: "I don't eat."
"Oh. I was saying that with your body shape, you should be very strict with yourself." Ning Fei was not surprised by this answer and did not continue to persuade him. "I followed the show all day and did not eat much. I only realized I was hungry at night, so I had to eat. If you can't finish it, put it in your refrigerator and I will take it away tomorrow. Don't worry, I will brush my teeth well later."
Duan Yunhong held the back of his chair with one hand, leaned over and sniffed his shoulder: "But you smell like this all over."
Ning Fei waved his hands unhappily: "I know. I'll come back to find you after I wash myself clean, okay? Go away, or I'll marinate you too... hmm."
Duan Yunhong kissed her directly.
