Chapter 29 - His Shadow
Chapter 29 - His Shadow
The model competition soon announced that it would make clothes for girls with cancer and organize a fashion show. However, making clothes takes time, so before that, Su Cenxi went to record the competition show for the second time.
This is the third episode of the competition. The second episode was from 20 to 18, so this time it is from 18 to 15. In addition to the final stage catwalk show, the guests will also accompany the newlyweds during the day to create new looks and take photos, and finally the catwalk will take place in the evening.
Today, the newcomer to the "throne" really got into trouble. She didn't like the new look that the program team arranged for her, and she had been expressing her desire to change her hairstyle and hair color since the beginning of the styling process. But this has all been decided, the program crew won’t change her, otherwise it would be easy for her to clash with others. The two Mandarin-speaking guests took turns communicating with her, understanding her true thoughts, and then persuading her.
However, the new emperor did not appreciate their kindness. Anyway, as long as she wasn't asked to change her hairstyle, she would keep a gloomy face. Even when she was taking photos after having her hairstyle changed, she was obviously absent-minded.
After the other party took the photo, Su Cenxi "fired" in front of the camera: "You are very unprofessional. You are a model. You can't not take photos and walk the runway properly just because you don't like the style specified by others. Let me give you an example. A fashion show needs to have unified makeup and styling. There are so many models, it is impossible for every one of them to be 100% suitable for the same style. Can the unsuitable models be changed without permission? Or do they just walk around randomly on the stage to protest? Are the audience looking at you or the clothes?"
The newcomer to the throne actually knew that he was in a bad state, and argued a little: "I was just affected by my mood, I couldn't perform well, and I couldn't find the inspiration to pose. I didn't mean to cause trouble..."
Su Cenxi said, "If you can't think of anything, change it more and work with the photographer to find a solution. If you freeze there, even a master can't save you! If the brand's people were there, what would they think of you? Have you ever thought about it?"
The newcomer made a few more arguments, and Su Cenxi listened with a cold face, then replied in a cold tone: "You still don't understand where you are wrong. You are not qualified for this job with this mentality, and you will suffer a great loss in the future."
Duan Yunhong, who was standing not far away, heard these words clearly.
He seemed to be thinking about something, and silently glanced outside the field, and immediately found the tall man. In fact, the navy blue casual suit the other person wore today was very low-key, but somehow, Duan Yunhong could still locate him at a glance.
As if they had telepathic connection, the other party suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Duan Yunhong.
Then he smiled, with an attitude of "see, that was a good performance."
Director Duan turned away with a stern face.
"... Ning Fei, what are you looking at?"
Jia Silin accidentally noticed that Ning Fei's attention had turned away from Su Cenxi, so she leaned close to him and whispered, "What's the problem over there?"
Ning Fei retracted his gaze, and the smile on his lips disappeared: "Nothing, just looking around."
Jaslin didn't doubt him and sighed in a low voice: "Xixi's words are so smooth. He said before that he didn't know how to play it. Isn't this a good point..."
Ning Fei: Most of them are the words I have used to insult him before. They are so familiar, how can he not say them well?
When it comes to slacking off and being unprofessional, who can compare to Su Cenxi, who has never been taught a lesson before?

It was also during the recording of this program that Duan Yunhong attacked Su Cenxi.
When the fashion show was being recorded in the evening, the newlyweds lined up on the stage after the show, waiting for comments. When it was Duan Yunhong's turn to speak, he first made two comments and then mentioned the newcomer to the throne. He expressed his approval of the newcomer's catwalk, and before the newcomer could even raise his lips for two seconds, he changed the subject and said, "It seems that you are satisfied with the look tonight."
The newcomer's expression froze.
Duan Yunhong didn't give her much time to react. He briefly recounted what happened in the afternoon and then broke the news in advance: "I'm telling you the truth, your photos this time are the worst among all the others. You may think that the program team didn't pick the best photo for you, but that was the only photo where your expression was relaxed and natural, and it was even the first photo of the test shoot. But this doesn't mean that this photo is really good, it's actually very bad."
The new girl took the topic that had just been handed to her, opened her mouth, but said nothing. From the close-up shot, you can see that her lips are trembling.
Duan Yunhong didn't wait for her to respond and continued, "Our guest today should have discussed this issue with you, right, Su Cenxi?"
The camera suddenly turned to Su Cenxi.
He was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and replied calmly: "Yes, we talked about it. Eric, you are not satisfied with your look, and this emotion is not only conveyed to your makeup artist and hairstylist, but also to the entire studio. In fact, I think your photo session should be ranked last. Not only because your photos are not good, but also because of your work attitude."
Duan Yunhong looked at the guest seats and said slowly, "So Su Cenxi, do you think that even if Ari takes good photos, she should be put at the back because of her work attitude?"
Ning Fei, who was standing backstage watching the broadcast, said: There is a trap in this statement.
But he had no way to remind Su Cenxi immediately, so he could only hope that Su Cenxi could apply what he had learned in his usual training sessions.
"...The work attitude I mentioned is not just that Ari is dissatisfied with the prescribed styling." Su Cenxi was very sober this time and saw through Duan Yunhong's language trap, "but also because after the styling, she was the one who was most affected by negative emotions, which caused her to be in a bad state when taking pictures. In this case, I think it would be difficult for her to perform at her best and take good photos."
After a pause, Su Cenxi couldn't help but add, "Of course, Ari played well tonight and has completely adjusted to his daytime state. I don't deny that."
"So overall, where do you think she should be ranked this time?" Duan Yunhong made two strokes on the information in front of him, then turned to look at Su Cenxi, "Or, do you think a model who made a mistake like that should immediately get the opportunity to compete with others at the same starting point?"
When these words were spoken, it was obvious that they were directed at someone else.
Duan Yunhong seemed to be talking about the newcomer to the throne, Ai Rui, but in fact, he seemed to be alluding to Su Cenxi's previous behavior. After all, whether it was people at the scene or industry insiders who watched the broadcast later, they had all heard about Su Cenxi’s “unprofessional” deeds in the past. He takes advantage of his boyfriend's superior status to skip work at will. The last time something like this happened was half a year ago.
Naturally, Jaslin also heard it, and couldn't help but whisper to Su Cenxi: "This Andrew, is he doing this on purpose? Why is he asking so pointedly! There is no such part in the script. Did he tell you in advance?"
Ning Fei didn't answer directly, but just glanced at her and said, "Be patient."
Jaslin had no choice but to swallow the words she had not yet finished.
And Su Cenxi, who was sitting in the guest seat, should have also heard the hidden meaning in Duan Yunhong's words. In fact, under the highly stressful situation, his mind was already a mess. His previous answer was already an exceptional performance. Now he was asked to maintain his dignity while sticking to his previous character of diss-ing Eric. This question was really beyond the scope.
Fortunately, Su Cenxi still remembered what Ning Fei said.
Ning Fei had advised before: "If someone from the production team asks you in an interview whether a contestant should be ranked in a certain place, or whether a decision is fair, and you really can't answer - just say, 'This question ultimately depends on the judges' decision. After all, they are the ones who think the most about it both on and off the stage.'"
So Su Cenxi kept her calm expression, looked at Duan Yunhong, and smiled slightly: "I'll leave this difficult question to the judges. After all, I'm just a model, and you are the ones who think the most about it, both on and off the stage, and you must be more comprehensive than I think."
Duan Yunhong: “…”
——Tsk, this expression and this way of speaking, it’s obvious that they were taught by someone!
***
A few days after the recording of this episode, and exactly the day before the filming of the "Charity Extra", Ning Fei once again went to Duan Yunhong's house to spend the night.
On the way, he recalled Duan Yunhong's disgusted expression when he saw flowers in a mineral water bottle last time, and felt very funny, so he deliberately bought a bunch of flowers from a roadside stall and went to his house.
Duan Yunhong saw him bringing flowers again, his expression remained unchanged, and his tone was indifferent: "Another gift from a fan?"
"No, a girl insisted on giving it to me, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept it." Ning Fei made up a story, "I couldn't just throw it away, so I just used it as a gift."
Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You gave me the flowers that others gave you?"
Ning Fei: "No?"
Duan Yunhong: “Throw it away.”
“Hahahaha…!” Ning Fei finally laughed out loud. After a long while, he stepped forward and stuffed the flowers into the man’s arms. “I’m just kidding. I bought them specially for you, okay?”
Duan Yunhong had to hold onto the flower and subconsciously repeated, "Did you buy it?"
"Yes, they are just cheap ones sold at street stalls, 20 yuan a bunch, much cheaper than what I brought last time." Ning Fei said as he walked towards his restaurant, "I'll cut a mineral water bottle to use as a vase..."
Duan Yunhong suddenly said: "I have a vase at home."
Ning Fei paused and looked back at him: "Ah? Then why didn't I find it last time?"
"You didn't observe carefully." Duan Yunhong walked to a display cabinet and opened the glass door. "I put everything out this time. Did you see it?"
Ning Fei was suspicious: "You have a vase at home, so why didn't you tell me last time? Why do you keep looking at the mineral water bottle with disdain?"
"..." Duan Yunhong didn't answer, but just stuffed the vase and flowers into his hands, "Okay, go and deal with it."
Ning Fei was suddenly stuffed with something: "Why don't you just do it yourself..."
"I need to finish watching something first. The rough cut of the show we recorded last time is ready, and I need to check it." Duan Yunhong replied seriously, "If you want to watch it, come and watch it with me later."
Ning Fei's attention was distracted by the topic of work and he nodded in agreement. When he entered the bathroom and started to rinse the vase, he suddenly realized what was happening when he looked at the beautiful porcelain in his hand.
——Isn’t this the vase you bought just for the flowers you bought last time? Are you trying to be stubborn?
