Chapter 245 Show (4)
"Oh!" Zhen Zhen nodded in response, looking a little unhappy.
But she quickly regained her composure, turned to look at Zhang Shuai, and said with a smile, "Sister Xin, what kind of koi fish physique do you have? It's okay to have a handsome boyfriend, but your brother is so handsome too! Do you still want to live?"
"You still have the mind to joke? Your feet don't hurt anymore?" Tian Xin was so busy that she was already flying on the spot. While putting on makeup, she urged: "Hurry up and go, don't delay!"
"Well... okay, you hold on, I'll leave it alone for now!" Zhen Zhen said, opening her arms towards Zhang Shuai: "Brother, I have to trouble you, I can't stand the ground!"
"Hiss...tsk!" Zhang Shuai looked at her hair full of pearls and jade and her heavy gorgeous clothes, hesitated for a few seconds, walked over, picked her up horizontally, turned around and walked out the door.
The makeup artist worked quickly and finished Tian Xin's makeup in no time. For convenience, she only did the simplest bun on her hair.
The models have already changed their clothes and are standing at the entrance of the catwalk with their props, waiting to go on stage.
Tian Xin changed into gorgeous clothes, covered her face with a round fan, and slowly walked towards the entrance.
"Why are you still here?"
"I... want to see if you need any help!" Lin Zhou turned his head and looked up and down at her makeup and clothes.
It’s so beautiful! He sighed in his heart.
"These are all girls. It's inconvenient for you to stay here. Go back first. You're about to go on stage and there's nothing else to do!"
"Then... can you?"
"What do you think?"
"Okay, come on!"
Lin Zhou walked over and shook her hand to cheer her up.
Seeing that her face was calm and confident, he felt relieved and turned to go to the audience.
The models standing in a row nearby couldn't help but chuckle when they saw the two of them like this.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at your boyfriend!" a model said with a smile.
"What happened to him?"
"When you went on stage, he was even more nervous than you were! He just kept telling us to take care of you!" The model looked at Tian Xin with envy: "Your boyfriend is so nice to you!"
"Really?" She smiled softly, her heart instantly warming up.
"Boom, boom, boom--" A set of heavy drum beats suddenly sounded from the side of the T-stage, followed by the host's voice.
"Next is the last set of works in the series - "Final Chapter Moonlight". Please show it!"
The solemn and dignified classical music - "The Elegant Music of the Tang Dynasty" slowly sounded, the LED lights on the T-stage gradually brightened, and a ray of light came from above, illuminating the entrance.
Seven models, holding lanterns or round fans, walked slowly to the beat of chimes and pipa, changing the rhythm of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu, showing the unique characteristics of each costume.
Tian Xin walked last, wearing the last set of the Yuehua series, named "Bright Moon".
The music gradually slowed down, and she came slowly with small steps, like a lady walking out of an ancient scroll, her every frown and smile was as beautiful as a painting.
She wore a lilac-colored, double-breasted shirt with a vertical collar and fine icy plum embroidery along the hem. A slight movement of her fingers revealed three inches of her snow-white undershirt at the cuffs.
She wore a horse-faced skirt with a gradually smudged ink-colored landscape pattern on the skirt. As she walked, the skirt swayed with her steps, giving her a somewhat heroic air at first glance.
Her dark hair was tied in a lazy bun, a golden phoenix hairpin slanting diagonally. Her features already had a touch of classical beauty, and the makeup enhanced them, making her skin appear smooth and her features as picturesque as a painting.
In her hand, she holds a round kesi fan, half obscuring her face. Between gentleness and heroism, her eyes flicker, and every frown and smile reveals the perseverance and uniqueness unique to women of this era, yet she remains dignified and majestic.
Tian Xin held her breath, gently holding a round fan to shield her face, and walked step by step to the center of the catwalk. Countless flashes of light were shining on the stage, and her heart was in her throat with nervousness.
But she remained calm, slowly adjusting her breathing, taking small steps, and trying her best to look elegant.
From the moment Lin Zhou appeared in the audience, everyone around her seat erupted in surprise. She quietly raised her fan to shield her face and stole a glance. The audience was completely dark, and all she could see was the camera in Lin Zhou's hand, constantly flashing.
The song was incredibly long, and all the models had already finished their catwalks and were standing in their designated positions. The model who replaced Zhen Zhen was originally standing in the center, but when she saw her approach, she suddenly moved to the side and back, taking her original position.
The empty seat was facing the judges' seats, and several judges were looking at her intently.
The music stopped abruptly the moment she stopped!
Then there were a few crisp sounds of "Snap, Snap, Snap!", and a ray of light above her head suddenly hit her, and everything around her dimmed!
…
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her. Video cameras and camera lenses were all aimed at her, flashing continuously. For a moment, the interweaving of light and shadow made it difficult for her to open her eyes.
Her heart was in her throat with nervousness.
"This series is called... Yuehua?" the judge asked slowly.
"yes!"
She took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, calming herself down, and then responded, "Moonlight Finale."
"Why this name? Is there any explanation?"
"Of course there are!" Tian Xin slowly lowered her fan, revealing her face. "The Huainanzi says there's a toad in the moon, and the moonlight is used as a metaphor for the essence of the moon, symbolizing purity and eternity. Taoism also uses "moonlight clothing" as immortal attire. Li Shangyin's poem describes it this way: 'The moonlight is like water flooding the palace,' using the moonlight to describe the soft texture of clothing like flowing moonlight. I think..."
She slowed down, opened her arms, and took a few steps forward, completely revealing her attire. "The moon waxes and wanes, and people experience joys and sorrows. The dress I'm wearing uses a full moon pattern. Besides using the moonlight to symbolize people and objects, more importantly, I want to use it to express two words..."
She paused, listening to her frantic heartbeat, and slowly said, "Perfect!"
"oh?"
This answer seemed a bit unexpected to the judges. As soon as she finished speaking, the judge immediately asked: "As a costume designer, since you chose such an artistic name, why did you abandon its original nature and change it? If I am not mistaken, the waist of your skirt adopts the Western-style waist-cut, right?"
"Yes." She responded confidently, "As a modern garment, I believe that clothing should keep pace with the times. Although I changed the waist design, I retained the core structure of the curved hem and the 'continued lapel and hooked edge', without..."
"Nonsense!" A girl sitting in the audience suddenly got angry. She stood up, pointed at Tian Xin and started yelling, "You can call this design? Hanfu is all about the 'form of clothing.' After you've tampered with it like this, how can it still be called ancient costume? Are you graduating this year? Which class? Who's your instructor? How could she tolerate such nonsense? And even the closing act? And even something like this can be put on the catwalk? Do you even understand what design is?"
