Chapter 60 Chapter 60 "Ouch!"
"The eldest daughter of the Cheng Group personally filmed a promotional video for her company and invited me to be the makeup artist. I am very honored, such an honor." Tong Xuan, who had just dyed her hair pink, received a call from Jiang Yiyu. Her figure was moving among the rows of racks with various dresses hanging on them in the spacious conference room.
Because there were so many clothes, they requisitioned the largest conference room on the 99th floor of the Central Hotel, and used the entire floor as a work location only for the filming of their promotional video.
The dresses that Cheng Shuyi had people bring were all hung neatly in the open space. There were high-end dresses made of various colors and fabrics, stretching as far as the eye could see. Below them were pairs of shiny pointed high heels. At first glance, it looked like the backstage of a fashion show.
There wouldn't be so many collections of skirts from various styles and brands backstage at the show.
These are all Cheng Shuyi's own clothes. Every year when new styles come out, she will be given catalogs of haute couture dresses from various houses. If she is too lazy to go to the shows, she can just flip through the catalogs and buy anything beautiful she sees.
Unlike female celebrities who want to borrow a dress and have to see which one the brand is willing to lend, these are all chosen by Cheng Shuyi herself. She is at the age when girls like fancy things, so every dress is either beautiful or better-looking, there is no ugly one.
In this respect, the clothes in Jiang Yiyu's wardrobe are no match for Cheng Shuyi's.
She would also consider whether she could attend the event. If she felt like buying some unnecessary exaggerated big skirts, she would just take two and let the rest go. Cheng Shuyi basically bought whatever she liked without considering practicality at all. Most of them had exaggerated skirts with big trains and fluffy tulle.
Cheng Shuyi was walking back and forth among the clothes hangers with great interest. There were some skirts that she would not have remembered buying if she had not taken them out when packing this time. Many of them were brand new styles that she had never worn once after buying them.
Tong Xuan picked and chose, wishing she could take each piece apart and study it carefully.
This time, she didn't even have to alter the size; the couture dresses were custom-made to Cheng Shuyi's measurements. Having been able to freely use a wide variety of couture dresses for two consecutive projects, Tong Xuan felt a little worried, feeling as if her appetite had been spoiled. What would she do if she had to work on a smaller crew where every piece of clothing had to be patched up for another year?
It is really difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
The two most wealthy ladies she had ever met in her life were only these two.
I originally thought that the daughter of a top boss like Cheng must be domineering, but I didn't expect Cheng Shuyi to be very easy to talk to. She listened to whatever Jiang Yiyu said and did it when she was asked to run indoors to lose weight without any reluctance. It might be because she also had to call Jiang Yiyu sister.
……sister.
Damn, Jiang Yiyu’s background is even more powerful than she originally imagined. Even the daughter of the Cheng family has to call her sister.
Jiang Yiyun looked at Tong Xuan's eyes, filled with shock and profound meaning. She didn't know how to explain her relationship with Cheng Shuze's ex-boyfriend in one sentence. After all, she vaguely remembered that she had just told Tong Xuan that her ex-husband had passed away not long ago...
Um……
I don’t know if the reason that I suddenly came back to life is credible.
However, Tong Xuan's attention is not at all on which family Jiang Yiyu belongs to. Anyway, no matter which family Jiang Yiyu comes from, everyone is a friend. She would be better off introducing a few more rich girls to her and giving her more skirts to touch.
“Is this the one with the puffy tulle or the one with the long velvet skirt?” Both are very beautiful dresses, dazzling.
Jiang Yiyun also looked up and said: "If we go into the water, the one with layered tulle will look more like a princess dress."
The front and back of the dress are cut in a collision of soft mist blue and lively orange, with platinum tassels hanging from the shoulders to the waist. The embroidery is embellished with round pearls, blooming like a flower stamen on the chest. The hem of the skirt is evenly puffed up by layers of tulle, reaching the ankles, and the swaying back and forth when walking is the nimble pace of an ignorant girl.
"It has both smartness and elegance, so let's go with this one." Jiang Yiyu nodded with satisfaction.
Tong Xuan had a look of heartache on her face, as if to say, "I knew you were going to start yelling again." "I was wondering when we can control the costs a little bit during filming. Can we stop going to the heavens, the earth, and the sea all the time? The dresses I've spent on these days add up. Ah, my heart aches."
"Believe me, this is a necessary sacrifice." Jiang Yiyu's face was heavy.
Not only the skirt was sacrificed, but also Cheng Shuyi.
I ate too much at the resort a few days ago, and thanks to working hard these past few days to digest it, I've managed to lose weight. At least the tightness of my skirt doesn't look off on camera. Tong Xuan carefully experimented with several makeup looks before settling on a shimmering finish. She also permed her hair into princess curls, letting her long, dark hair flow freely over her shoulders and lower back.
"Can you? Can you run?"
Still in the conference room, Cheng Shuyi finished changing in the inner room, and Tong Xuan supported her as she made her way out, step by step, with some difficulty. This puffy tulle skirt was truly awful, with the petticoat, the lining, and countless layers of tulle inside. If Tong Xuan hadn't carefully arranged each layer, she would have been completely ruined by wearing it alone.
The cameras have been set up in the conference room. In addition to the final promotional video, if possible, I would also like to cut out some behind-the-scenes footage and release it to boost Cheng Shuyi's popularity.
Cheng Shuyi took a deep breath, waved her hand to let Tong Xuan let go of her support, took a deep breath, and sprinted forward with difficulty holding up the hem of her skirt with one hand.
“Ouch!”
"Oh my god! Is everything okay?" There was a flurry of activity in the conference room. Some were helping others, some were spreading skirts, and they urgently tried to pull Cheng Shuyi out who was buried in layers of skirt gauze.
Cheng Shuyi was desperate: "Can anyone tell me why this skirt is so heavy?"
Cheng Shuyi held up the hem of her skirt in front, and Tong Xuan looked after her from the front and back. She finally squeezed into the elevator and got on the car. Fortunately, she finally arrived at the beach where the filming was taking place smoothly.
For convenience, Jiang Yiyu directly asked someone to drive another brand new, shiny, clean and tidy Maybach that had been kept in the resort for emergency use. The car had no dust on the wheels and was driven directly to the beach. The moment the front wheels rolled on the sand, she tried her best not to imagine what the scene would be like.
The heater in the car was turned on high enough, so Cheng Shuyi didn't feel cold. She was looking over the script and storyboard design in her hands.
"Just run out of the water holding your skirt, okay?"
Cheng Shuyi patted his chest and vowed: "Of course there is no problem."
"Would you like some more hot water to warm you up?"
Cheng Shuyi shook her head: "No, I'm afraid my face will get swollen when I'm on camera."
She took a last look at the script, opened the car door, and with the help of Tang Ya and Tong Xuan, she got out of the car without her skirt falling to the ground.
The camera couldn't capture her shoes, so for convenience she wore warm trousers underneath her sneakers. Except for the half-shoulder design of her skirt, she didn't feel cold in the sea breeze.
For today's filming, the staff had already set up a special shooting area without tourists for them in advance, and even got two small yachts to facilitate their follow-up camera operations.
The sea water rose and fell. Cheng Shuyi held the hem of her skirt in front of her, and her high-top sneakers stepped into the wet and soft sand. Tang Ya and Tong Xuan slowly let go of the hands that were holding her skirt as Cheng Shuyi walked forward. The fluffy tulle skirt fell down the moment it touched the water.
The skirt absorbed water and became extremely heavy, making it more difficult for Cheng Shuyi to walk forward. In order to avoid it getting messy when she turned to face the beach, she turned around with great difficulty, then slowly stepped back, watching the water gradually rise, submerging her calves, thighs, and then waist. Cheng Shuyi swayed slightly, feeling the buoyancy of the water making her a little unsteady.
Lin Lang and Xia Yi followed Cheng Shuyi on a small yacht, fearing that she would accidentally fall into the sea. After Cheng Shuyi stood firm, she made an OK gesture to Jiang Yiyu who was standing on the beach.
Without further ado, in just a short while, there were already onlookers outside the isolation zone. After Lin Lang's small yacht left the shooting range, Jiang Yiyu shouted "start", and Cheng Shuyi took difficult steps under the water and moved forward step by step until she rushed onto the beach with her skirt half wet.
Wu Jun half-crouched on the small yacht as it approached the shore, then he flipped over and jumped off the yacht with the camera in hand.
"Not bad." The first test shot turned out surprisingly well. Jiang Yiyun taught her step by step, "Start with small, slow steps. When you look up and see the lights of the Central Hotel, you'll show that complex feeling of joy and excitement. Then, just rush forward."
Cheng Shuyi tilted his head and listened carefully. After he understood, he nodded.
The heavy skirt felt a little uncomfortable on my body, but when I thought about the finished product, these were trivial matters.
Cheng Shuyi directly got on the small yacht and drove a distance to where she had just landed. She was not sure how deep the sea was before, but now that she had measured the distance for the first time, she could get on the yacht and go into the water directly, saving her the trouble of dragging her skirt.
The tone of the entire promotional video's story was mostly achieved through camera switching. It was estimated that the finished film would be only a few minutes long, but the number of shots needed was as huge as the sea. The shots were repeated three times. Jiang Yiyu also stepped onto the yacht herself to shoot the angles she wanted. As a result, because her eyes were fixed on Cheng Shuyi in the camera, she didn't pay any attention to her feet. When Wu Jun stopped the yacht, he braked too hard and almost fell off the yacht due to inertia.
Sitting on the edge of the yacht's handrail and checking the camera, Wu Jun was taking pictures of the floating skirt underwater, and Tang Ya came over.
"I've got the things for you." Tang Ya said softly, "But there's a problem."
Jiang Yiyun: "Hmm?"
"Who are you going to choose as the male lead for the final proposal?"
Jiang Yiyu asked her to get something like this. If she really needs to use it, it would be a bit difficult for other male leads to take the role.
Jiang Yiyun shook her legs that were hanging in the air. "Well... I've thought about it. The male lead doesn't necessarily have to show his face, right?"
