Just when Hua Shiqi was wrong, when Hua Zhao was detained by Zhuo Yi and punched in the gym, on the other side, Cheng Xingfei had already arrived at the second work place today, and started the intense and orderly filming work.

Today she is going to shoot the October cover of a certain fashion magazine A.

Fashion magazines are known as "Golden September and Silver October". Because September is the time for fashion brands to change seasons, there are a lot of advertisements in September and October. If any star can appear on the cover of the magazine in September or October, it is enough to prove how strong his or her influence is and how high the commercial value is.

Cheng Xingfei's traffic has exploded recently. First, she flew to Paris to watch the show, and then served as a program instructor. The topic has always been high. Ms. P stepped up her work, and finally won her a chance to be on the cover of the October issue.

This is not the first time Cheng Xingfei has photographed the cover of a major fashion magazine, but the significance of the October issue is different. Ms. P's whole body became tense, and if there was a slight disturbance, the whole body would bounce off the sofa.

Cheng Xingfei sat in front of the mirror in the dressing room, while closing her eyes to make up, she comforted Sister P: "Sister, what is there to worry about?"

"My heart is pounding now, and I always feel that something bad is about to happen." Ms. P swiped her phone again with her head down, her posture looked like an animal with stereotyped behavior, "If you can't tell what's wrong, forget it, you Leave me alone, keep on putting on your makeup, I'll go outside and make a phone call."

The theme of the cover of this magazine is "Twenty-year-old Amusement Park". The whole studio layout is dreamy and magical. The fashion team prepared three sets of looks for Cheng Xingfei. Each set is cute and fits the theme.

The first group is "Elf Fairy", Cheng Xingfei put on a lavender gauze dress embroidered with flowers, like a little elf sleeping in the flowers, pure and lively; the second group is "Balloon Clown", she tried this for the first time An exaggerated dress with contrasting colors, her hair is combed into more than a dozen small braids, and a hydrogen balloon is tied to the end of each braid. The balloon floats in the sky, and her hair is also suspended in the air; the third group is "Castle Princess" ", she is wearing a red, white and blue classic color gauze dress, as if stepping out of a fairy tale

"Wait" Ms. P returned to the dressing room after making the phone call, and suddenly stopped the stylist urgently. She quickly walked up to Cheng Xingfei, pointed to the pearl brooch on her chest and asked, "Whose product is this?"

The stylist was taken aback: "Uh, this is the new style of family C this autumn."

Every time a star shoots a magazine cover, all clothing is selected by the fashion department of the magazine and the artist team. When it is officially published, it will indicate on each page what brand of products the artist is wearing and what brand they are wearing.

When Ms. P heard this, she almost panicked: "Xing Fei just officially announced the product spokesperson of Arisukawa Pearl at the beginning of this year, and signed an exclusive contract. She can no longer wear any pearl jewelry from competing brands. Whether it's brooches or earrings , necklaces, and rings are not acceptable."

The more Ms. P said, the more angry she became, she turned to the little assistant next to her, and scolded angrily: "If I hadn't discovered this kind of problem, wouldn't you be foolishly waiting for the magazine to be published and Arisukawa Pearl to find out before you know how to make up for it?" "

The little assistant was stunned by the scolding. This was indeed her work mistake. The assistant's obsequious apology made the circles of her eyes turn red.

Cheng Xingfei hurriedly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, she didn't do it on purpose, she just forgot in a hurry. In fact, I am also responsible. I am the spokesperson and I didn't realize it. What do you blame her for?" She swiftly removed the pearl brooch Take it off and put it on the dressing table, "That's fine, don't be nervous."

I thought this trivial matter would pass so easily, but who would have thought that when Cheng Xingfei stood in front of the camera in a gauze dress, the photographers and the fashion team shook their heads repeatedly, saying that her chest was empty, and the overall shape was light and heavy, very Discord.

Searching through the dressing room, other spare brooches have either been used in the first two sets of looks, or they don’t match the third set of clothing.

what to do

It can only be borrowed temporarily.

The costume assistant said: "It just so happens that there are artists taking pictures in the studio next door, we can borrow from them."

At such a critical moment, it is impossible for the little assistant to go alone to coordinate the borrowing of accessories. Miss P must be involved.

Miss P first ran back to the nanny's car, took a box of small gift boxes for business trips, and then stepped on high heels, hurriedly ran to the shed next door to get close.

Ten minutes later, Miss P came back with a strange expression on her face.

Cheng Xingfei asked: "Why didn't I borrow this expression?"

"No, I borrowed it." Ms. P stretched out her hand, revealing a small scarlet jewelry box in her palm. Inside the jewelry box was a simple and elegant geometric metal brooch, which matched Cheng Xingfei's current clothes just right.

This brooch has a tough shape rather than a feminine accessory. However, this kind of tough accessories just neutralized the too soft temperament of her body, like the spikes hidden under the rose.

When Cheng Xingfei saw the style of the brooch, he had a guess: "The shed next door is a male artist."

"Yes, it's the male version of Magazine A." Ms. P said in a low voice, "It's Shen Yuxiu."

"" What kind of fate is this.

Cheng Xingfei thought about it, and asked his assistant to order twenty cups of coffee to be delivered to the shed next door, expressing his gratitude.

After a while, Shen Yuxiu sent back 20 cups of milk tea, all selected three-point sugar and less ice, which is also very considerate and healthy.

Everyone worked all afternoon, just when people were exhausted. When the milk tea was delivered, the photographer simply announced that everyone would take a 20-minute break and go find a place to sip milk tea.

Sister P and Cheng Xingfei returned to the lounge. As soon as they entered the room, Sister P took off her high heels and put on slippers, collapsed on the sofa, took a bottle of milk tea with the most ingredients, and stabbed the straw in firmly. .

She took a big gulp, and the smooth milk fell down her throat into her stomach, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.

Sister P said while sipping milk tea: "I didn't expect Shen Yuxiu to be pretty good. I'll take you to social after the cover is done in a while. Before filming the starting line of the actors, Hua Zhao pointed at him with a sword and asked him to play against him. I was afraid of him." I have opinions in my heart; if you want to cooperate in the future, I have to take you to improve your impression points."

Cheng Xingfei shook his head, "I still don't want it. I can't see him for the time being."

""

Cheng Xingfei cleared his throat in embarrassment: "Sister, there is something I didn't tell you before. Hua Zhao brought me a business card, which was given to her by Shen Yuxiu——Shen Yuxiu said that he wanted to invite Cheng Xingfei to play his part. movie of."

The milk tea in Mrs. P's hand suddenly lost its fragrance.

"" Miss P suddenly raised her voice, "Cheng Xingfei" She called her by first and last name, and worried that the wall was too thin to be heard, so she immediately lowered her voice, "You don't talk to me about such an important matter until you finish shooting the cover, Even if I bet on you, I will put you in front of Shen Yuxiu. It is best to get the script today, sign the contract tomorrow, and join the first film directed by an international actor the day after tomorrow. Well, Shen Yuxiu took the initiative to hand you his business card, why are you still hesitating?"

Sister P pressed Cheng Xingfei for a long time, and the girl finally told the truth - "I don't think I'm good enough, I'm worried about disappointing him."

Sister P: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Sister P can't wait to open Weibo now and read the rainbow fart written by fans for her in front of Cheng Xingfei. Fans can blow from Cheng Xingfei's hair to fingertips, and then from acting to character .

Sister P: "Miss, do you want me to show you Princess Huazhao's ratings? Do you know how many TV stations are competing for three rounds of broadcasting? Or let me tell you how much your current endorsement is worth? Became such a low self-confidence person”

Cheng Xingfei sighed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I've always been a person who lacks self-confidence."

Miss P silently pushed over a mirror.

"Stop making trouble, I'm not talking about appearance." The girl said, "Sister, we have been working together for more than a year, and I haven't told you about my family's affairs."

"Um."

Cheng Xingfei's working experience has already been reviewed by others on the Internet. She debuted as a child star in a commercial when she was ten years old, made her debut on the small screen at the age of twelve, and made her first supporting role in a movie at the age of fourteen. In the past ten years, she has filmed more than 20 commercials, seven TV dramas, three Although the movie is young, it is very "model worker".

However, everyone came and went, but she never left her family. She seemed to appear in this world out of thin air, and someone swept away the traces of her parents.

Ms. P is her manager, she knows more than others - Cheng Xingfei's parents divorced since he was a child, and he changed his surname before debuting, Cheng is his mother's surname.

Cheng Xingfei smiled bitterly and said: "My father is a very strict person. But in the eyes of others, he is a senior with high morals and respect. Treat me and my mother with the harshest tone and the most critical attitude, even to the point of harshness.

"I still remember going out to eat with my parents when I was five years old. There were many fathers at the dinner table who were my colleagues. In front of those colleagues, my father was very gentle to me, and those uncles and aunts also praised me for being polite, sensible and beautiful. But After returning home, my father threw me into the kitchen, gave me a pot of mixed red and mung beans, and gave me a pair of chopsticks. He ordered me to use chopsticks to chop the red and mung beans even if I didn’t sleep that night. Separated—and this is just because I was not proficient with chopsticks at the age of five, and I dropped my chopsticks on the dinner table once, and he felt that I had embarrassed him."

"Damn it!" Sister P was shocked, "The last time I heard this story, it was in Cinderella"

But Cinderella has a fairy godmother to help her, but five-year-old Cheng Xingfei does not.

"My father always said that there are too many beautiful girls, and I'm just the most ordinary one among them. My father also said that as his daughter, I only got 99 points in the exam, which means I didn't work hard enough. I have lived under his pressure since I was a child, he thought it was for my own good, it was to spur me, to prevent me from getting a little achievement, but it made my childhood submissive and without a little glory.”

Miss P couldn't stand it anymore, she hugged her artist and pressed her into her arms.

"Stop it, Xingfei, stop it," Miss P said harshly, "This is mental abuse, it's another form of domestic violence."

She really couldn't imagine that Cheng Xingfei, who was as perfect as an ice sculpture in her eyes, grew up under the pressure of such a family. How confident and charming she is in front of the camera, how inferior and helpless she was in childhood.

Cheng Xingfei leaned in Miss P's arms, and said softly, "By chance, I heard about Shen Yuxiu. He debuted as an amateur. Although he claimed that the director found him on the way home from school, it was not at all. So——One day, Director Lin passed by a police station, and saw a group of middle school students gathering to fight, and was arrested by the police. The group of gangsters squatted at the gate of the police station with their heads in their hands, and Shen Yuxiu was their boss.

"The police pushed Shen Yuxiu to be more honest. At that time, Shen Yuxiu's face and arms were covered with injuries, bruises, and bleeding, but even so, he dared to challenge the police, and was finally arrested. The baton hit him head and face. Those blue eyes looked like wolves, soaked in blood, with an indescribable wildness.

"The other gangsters had their parents to protect them, but Shen Yuxiu didn't. He just squatted at the gate of the police station with his head in his hands, a grass in his mouth, and whistled leisurely.

"Director Lin immediately fell in love with him.

"Director Lin walked up to him and asked him the first sentence: "Where are your parents?" He said: "They are all dead. "

"Director Lin asked him the second sentence: I am a director, do you dare to act in my play?"

Miss P was fascinated by this, and quickly asked: "How did he answer? By the way, he must have said I dare."

Otherwise, there would be no legend about this person in the circle.

"That's right, that's not right." Cheng Xingfei shook his head, "He used a rhetorical question—what dare I not?"

So, as a parent, Director Lin bailed out the boy with wolf eyes from the police station, changed him into clean clothes, took him to the crew, and polished off the stone clothes on him bit by bit, so that this piece of precious jade would shine brightly— -

"—Shen Yuxiu, he is my idol, and he is more than just my idol. He has the courage to resist fate and the courage to seize opportunities. The reason why I chose to enter the entertainment circle is that I hope that I can be like Like him, he shines brightly in this circle. I want to prove to my father that his daughter, who he thinks is not good enough, can shine in another place." Cheng Xingfei sighed, "—but now it seems that, My level is far from enough."

"You are too harsh on yourself." Miss P didn't know how to comfort her.

In the entertainment circle, there is never a shortage of good-looking people, but geniuses are scarce. Shen Yuxiu was able to become an international film star from a roadside gangster, not only because of Director Lin's insight, but also because of his talent flowing in his blood.

It's too difficult, it's really too difficult to chase him.

Cheng Xingfei is a hardworking person, but Ms. P must admit that she is indeed not an "acting genius", she relies on polishing and learning over and over again. Among mortals, Cheng Xingfei has done well enough, she has already climbed to the peak of mortals.

But she still has to look up to geniuses.

"Okay, since you think you're not ready yet, then I won't force you to find Shen Yuxiu anymore." Miss P hugged her distressedly, "Little poor boy, you really need to look directly at your own strengths, You are many, many times better than you in the mirror."

Cheng Xingfei buried his head on her shoulder, wondering if he heard this sentence clearly.

After a while, the shooting assistant informed them that the rest time was over and they were going to continue shooting.

Cheng Xingfei lowered his head and tidied up the skirt and the brooch on his chest, and in a blink of an eye he regained his radiant expression.

Except for a little redness in her eyes, there seemed to be no trace of the previous conversation.

In front of the camera, Cheng Xingfei posed various playful and youthful moves under the guidance of the cameraman.

Outside the camera, Ms. P crossed her arms and seemed to be looking at her own artist, but her thoughts had already drifted away——

――It's really strange. Shen Yuxiu's identity as a gangster before his debut is definitely a huge black spot, and will definitely be completely hidden by the brokerage company. Even Director Lin was covering it up for him, saying in the interview that he met Shen Yuxiu on the way out of school, and how did Cheng Xingfei know about Shen Yingdi's past
