Chapter 63: Pickup



"Ningxi, the rental company I found specializes in providing costumes for film and television crews. The effect on the body is definitely much better than those cheap dresses in the studio." Shen Chuyuan and Zhang Ningxi got out of the car together.

Being able to enter an international college naturally means that one's family conditions are not bad. As a local, Shen Chuyuan's family bought her a MINI CLUBMAN as soon as she entered college.

As the campus belle of Jiaotong University, Zhang Ningxi was even voted the campus belle of MH District by students. She must perform at the New Year's Eve party.

Although she has received professional training in singing, she is only strong among ordinary people and is much worse than professionals in colleges and universities. She also does not want to perform on stage.

However, to ensure the effectiveness of the party and increase participation, the student union still managed to get her to sing a song. When the student union announced this news, the popularity of the New Year's Eve party immediately increased significantly, and many students from other schools also expressed their willingness to attend if possible.

In this case, performance costumes are a must.

According to Zhang Ningxi's idea, she could just go to any photo studio and rent a set. Although the student union promised her 10,000 yuan for clothing expenses in order to allow her to participate in the performance, there was no need to spend so much and cause gossip. After all, beautiful people are not afraid of wearing anything.

But her roommate, Shen Chuyuan, disagreed. She felt that Zhang Ningxi's first public appearance had to go down in Jiaotong University history, even among the public and on forums, so she couldn't be careless with her outfit. So she found a rental company that specialized in providing costumes for film and television dramas.

"Hello, ladies. Do you have an appointment?" the waitress at the door asked politely.

Zhang Ningxi's appearance was really stunning, and she couldn't tell if she was a new star, so she naturally lowered her attitude.

Because it is a film and television crew business, there are often some second-tier, third-tier and even first-tier stars coming here to choose clothes and styling. Naturally, outsiders are not allowed to enter casually.

“I have an appointment. My name is Shen Chuyuan, phone number…” It’s just renting a piece of clothing, Shen Chuyuan can still handle it.

"Miss Chen, please come this way." The waitress checked the records and confirmed that it was there, so she invited the two of them over.

After passing the reception desk and the lounge area, you'll find the clothing section. Separate men's and women's areas are manned by a dedicated person at the entrance, ensuring no one accidentally wanders in. After all, everyone who comes here, big or small, is considered an actor; if there were a scandal, the shop would be closed.

This store occupies the first floor of an office. Once inside, the women's clothing area is divided into several compartments, including casual wear area and formal wear area.

The size of each compartment ranges from one hundred square meters to several dozen square meters. After entering the dress area, there is a row of wardrobes on the left with various clothes hung in different categories, and on the right are matching shoes, various bags, hats and accessories. The glass display cabinet in the middle is filled with various realistic jewelry.

Even though Zhang Ningxi and Shen Chuyuan both came from well-off families, they could not resist the temptation of a room full of clothes and jewelry. Moreover, these were costumes used for film and television props, so at least the design and materials would not look cheap at first glance, otherwise it would be a mistake.

In addition to the two of them, there were many other people choosing clothes in the compartments of the clothing area. From their conversations, it could be heard that there were actors and costume designers from various crews, students from film and television academies, etc.

Those actors had appeared in numerous films and TV series, and while detailed information could certainly be found online, it was impossible to recognize them in person. It was no exaggeration to say that none of them could compare to Zhang Ningxi in terms of looks.

The two of them looked and tried again and again, and finally chose a moon-white long dress. After putting on high heels, they were nearly 1.8 meters tall.

When Zhang Ningxi walked out of the clothing area, she immediately amazed the whole audience. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and the visual impact she gave people after changing her clothes was huge.

Although there are many beauties in the entertainment industry, only a few such as Reba and Nazha can be compared with her. And those people are not often seen by these third-rate stars and small-time actors on the scene, so Zhang Ningxi's sudden appearance in front of them has such a great impact.

This is the styling area. After men and women have chosen their clothes, they will be styled by makeup artists here. If the director or actor is satisfied, the makeup will be finalized as the styling for the film or TV series.

Naturally, makeup artists are divided into different levels. Third-rate stars are still stars. Although they cannot afford to hire a dedicated makeup artist, they cannot use the same price as extras or students from film and television academies.

However, these are nothing compared to her appearance. Even after being made up by an ordinary makeup artist, Zhang Ningxi is still the most beautiful person in the audience.

"Miss, I'm XXX from XX Media. Would you like to sign a contract with our company? We guarantee you'll be a big hit."

"Miss, I'm XXX from XX Records. You might consider becoming a singer. It'll only take a few minutes to release an album."

"Miss, I'm XXX from XX Modeling Agency. Would you like to work as a part-time model? The salary is definitely generous."

Regardless of whether they were bringing actors or singers to try on costumes, the relevant personnel from the agency came forward one after another to invite Zhang Ningxi.

It doesn't matter if you can't act; there are so many people in the entertainment industry without acting skills. Singing off-key isn't a big deal; you'll need to know the millionaire tuner. Modeling is even easier; just do a few moves. With these qualifications, even if you're just a vase, you can become famous. Now that I've met her today, I can't let her go.

"I'm sorry, I don't have this idea at the moment." Zhang Ningxi politely declined various invitations. She had encountered this kind of thing many times.

Since the other party doesn't agree, forget it. Maybe they have financial obligations.

"Ningxi, I think this look is very good. Let's choose this for the performance." Shen Chuyuan was very satisfied with this look.

Although she herself is an 80% beauty, as the saying goes, one point is worth a thousand. The one point difference between her and Zhang Ningxi determines that one is the focus of attention and the other is a passerby.

"I like this dress too, that's it." So the two of them made the decision happily.

The New Year's Eve Gala is still half a month away. The main reason I came here today is to reserve the dress in advance, otherwise it would be a waste of time if someone else got the one I liked first.

"Hello, young lady. My name is Zhang Zhehan. May I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?" Zhang Zhehan struck a very casual pose.

As a quasi-first-line star, Zhang Zhehan has good conditions. He is a professional actor and has acted in many dramas. Now he is really attractive when he poses.

“Sorry, we have something else to do.” Although she was a well-known star, Shen Chuyuan still refused on Zhang Ningxi’s behalf.

"I invited this lady, you can't make the decision for her." In front of the beauty, Zhang Zhehan naturally had to maintain his demeanor.

"Thank you for your kindness, we do have something to do." Zhang Ningxi didn't give the other party any face.
