Chapter 370: Silk Dress
“Brother Wei, I don’t think I am being forced.” Yun Xiangxiang was broad-minded, “The truth is I did become famous and gained a firm foothold in the industry because of the “University Dream.” I can’t only be receiving benefits.”
“You have devoted everything you had when you filmed it.” He Wei was not comforted by Yun Xiangxiang.
“Brother Wei, when I filmed this film at that time, it was indeed because it was the absolute female lead. I had to prove that I could play the leading role by myself, but there were also significant factors in this film. No matter how, this matter is also meaningful, right?”
“There are many meaningful things.” He Wei looked at Yun Xiangxiang with resignation, “You will be bullied in the future.”
Just because this matter was meaningful, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t mind that the other party used this method to drive a duck onto the perch. He Wei was pleased with her pure kindness, but he was also worried about her giving in.
“Who dares to bully me?” Yun Xiangxiang looked up at Song Mian, who was sitting next to her, “I am a woman with back up.”
This sentence made He Wei, who was upset, couldn’t help but smile. Song Mian’s joy could be seen from his eyes.
“Just smile. Brother Wei, don’t keep a sullen face next time. It’s not good-looking,” said Yun Xiangxiang deliberately.
“You have to know that with this precedent, there will be more activities that will find you in the future.” He Wei sighed lightly.
“As long as it is something that can deliver positive energy to society, I am glad to join.” Yun Xiangxiang felt that it was nothing, “Actors participating in charity are to use their influence to attract more attention from society. I was invited, which means they recognized my influence.”
It was not a good thing at first, but it seemed glorious after Yun Xiangxiang said it.
Yun Xiangxiang chose to walk on this road because she liked the feeling of acting; if it weren’t for her arrival, the original Yun Xiangxiang would never enter this industry, and Yun Zhibin would not allow her too.
The reason why Yun Zhibin conceded was that she let Yun Zhibin see the real value of an actor.
She did not show this aspect to Yun Zhibin just to get his permission. She would join actively if she had the opportunity.
There was nothing wrong with this activity, except that the sponsors used “University Dream” to threaten her to join.
But from the opposite party’s standpoint, there was no other way. Even He Wei was reluctant for her to suffer. Other companies would be reluctant for their actors to be used.
Those who were invited must be someone with a certain degree of influence. These types of actors were the company’s cash cows, so why would they be willing to let them go?
Actors who were not bothered by their companies would not have enough influence. It would be useless for them to join as they did not attract a lot of attention.
As a human being, Yun Xiangxiang was still willing to be more tolerant when her interests were not harmed.
He Wei stayed for lunch. He also knew about cookeries and was busy in the kitchen with Song Mian. With He Wei around, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t even have to help with anything.
Yun Xiangxiang sat comfortably at the bar and watched the two busy men. A plate of fruits that Song Mian cut for her was placed in front of her. It was an enjoyment indeed.
He Wei left after lunch while Yun Xiangxiang was still at Song Mian’s place, curled up on the sofa like a lazy cat. She leaned on an armrest, held a big pillow in her arms, and flipped through the books.
In fact, the International Film Festival was eventful, including film festivals, seminars, project activities, etc.. Still, the award ceremony was on the 30th. Generally, most people who joined would arrive one week in advance.
They would then join the following activities as it would be useful to expand their network and increase their popularity.
Yun Xiangxiang had to audition for ‘Flying Sky.’ She couldn’t come so early with her parents around. So, she only planned to join the award ceremony, which was why she had such relaxing time.
Song Mian worked in front of a French window not far from her, and she could see his profile when she looked up. The situation was quiet and sweet.
After reading the book for a while, Zhou Jie asked her to look at the dress and discuss the look for tomorrow.
The dress that Deng Yang designed for Yun Xiangxiang was made out of pure silk, and the color chosen was noble purple, which was not easy to pull off.
The dress used a Hanfu collar, and diamonds were used to outline a three-finger-wide collar. It was sleeveless and looked like a halter dress.
Fitted waistline, tight-fitting, and busts would test the wearer’s figure.
The skirt was wide from the middle of the thigh, and it was so long it could be dragged on the ground. It was like the traditional dress from China that used to be worn in the palace, which had huge requirements for the wearer’s height.
If the wearer were not at least 170 cm, she would not show the aura and charm needed.
Without extra embellishments and other decorations, it fully embodied a distinguished person with elegance, brilliance, and nobility.
“This is the jewelry from MonRoe.” Zhou Jie opened all the boxes.
Due to the dress design, necklace should not be worn. Otherwise, it would be a bit cumbersome. They could only concentrate on the earrings and hands.
She had a pair of purple jadeite grape bunch earrings too. Each jadeite was plump and crystal clear. With only a glance, the excellent quality of purple jadeite was displayed.
There were diamonds inlaid at the side, and it reflected light that accentuated the jadeite well. The earrings were relatively large and eye-catching.
The bracelet used a vine design, with a ring attached, and the whole back of the hand was covered with jadeite and diamonds.
“This kind of dress design requires the hair to be tied into a bun.” There was a heart-shaped bare-back design at the back of the dress.
“What I mean is that we will curl your hair, split it to the side, and tie a low messy bun. I will then add volume by tugging a few strands at the side. It would suit your age.” Zhou Jie certainly knew that she had to tie it into a bun, but there were countless ways to tie a bun.
“This color is not suitable for this kind of ladylike style.” Yun Xiangxiang looked at the dress and shook her head.
“Then I will straighten your hair, split it, and tie a low messy bun. It won’t be dyed, and won’t have much volume, but it will be sleek and neat.” The characteristics of this hairstyle were fashionable and distinguished, and it also matched the silk.
“It doesn’t match my age.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled. She finally understood why Zhou Jie wanted a discussion with her.
The dress was stunning, but it was not easy to pull off and match. This was Yun Xiangxiang’s first time joining an International Film festival.
It was not that she had to be the most beautiful one among all, but her dresses and jewelry were all branded. Her appearance was not only related to herself, but it was also associated with the company’s image and the charm of the brand.
Actors walking the red carpet were not as simple as catching people’s attention like what laymen thought of. Their brilliance on the red carpet would be analyzed from top to toe.
Let alone conspicuous jewelry and dresses. Even a lip gloss might get popular. This was the manifestation of value.
Of course, if they could catch people’s attention, they would deepen their impression among foreign media and people in the acting industry. This was a different way of publicizing them.
“I think we’ll go with curly hair. We will not split your hair and tie a messy bun with volume. That way, we won’t need any hair accessories.” Yun Xiangxiang suggested after she had a deep thought, “It will be stylish, and it would not look like it does not accentuate the dress.”
