Xia Weiliang brought coffee, and Song Yuan delivered it to each workroom with Nuomi. She went straight into the makeup room.
"Morning, Liang'er~"
Brother Cheng was putting on a wig cap, a bright golden yellow.
"Hey, Brother Cheng, why are you dressed so flamboyantly?" Xia Weiliang looked at the script. "Isn't today's theme 'Reliving the Nineties'?"
"It was changed at the last minute."
Sister Hua, who was taking over the conversation, walked in with an assistant carrying a medieval European court dress.
"Today is the fairy tale segment, and my role is Cinderella's sister." Sister Hua sat down as the makeup artist approached.
Xia Weiliang: "What about Brother Cheng?"
Brother Cheng said lazily, "With my temperament, it's hard to convince people if I'm not the king!"
The stylist behind him couldn't help but laugh.
Soon, Xia Weiliang was also dressed, as Cinderella's second sister.
She looked at herself, lost in thought.
At this moment, someone pushed the door open.
"Greetings, seniors, I am Xia Yiran."
Xia Yiran entered with her agent Zhang Peng to greet them, while also presenting a carefully prepared gift.
Brother Cheng's backside seemed stuck to his chair, and he didn't move at all. He only greeted those behind him in the mirror, smiling so much that the wrinkles on his face gathered together.
"Hello."
Xia Weiliang raised her eyes and glanced. Seeing Xia Yiran's current appearance, she understood everything.
She wore a plain gray dress, a white apron tied at the waist, her hair in a long braid, and a headscarf.
Cinderella herself.
Sister Hua exchanged a look with her and naturally guessed that the program team wanted to stir up trouble.
On the principle of not letting their own people fall into a pit unnecessarily, she pushed Xia Weiliang into it.
"Sister Hua, hello! I really love watching your sketches, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful in person!"
Xia Yiran's words were as sweet as honey. After complimenting Brother Cheng for looking like a young idol, she turned to compliment Sister Hua.
Sister Hua smiled, "Oh my, so you mean I'm not beautiful on television?"
Xia Yiran was taken aback and a little flustered: "Sister Hua, I didn't mean that..."
She wanted to explain, but Sister Hua smiled even more kindly, "Just kidding, why are you taking it so seriously? Look at this child, so interesting, she's obviously a genuine person~ Hahaha..."
Xia Yiran forced a smile, feeling awkward. She turned to look at Xia Weiliang again, and a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.
The rose-purple pink that female stars avoided, also known as Barbie pink, even on a beautiful star like Xia Weiliang, gave off a cheap plastic feel.
This was also one of Xia Yiran's conditions for signing with the high-level executives of "Let's Challenge!". For stage makeup, she wanted to win. For the final look, she wanted to outshine everyone!
She knew her shortcomings. Competing with Xia Weiliang in beauty was like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet. Not to mention her, even few female celebrities in the industry liked to share the stage with Xia Weiliang.
So, she chose a different path.
Defeat gaudiness with purity!
"Sister!" she called out affectionately, exaggeratedly holding her hand. "I've wanted to see you for a long time, but I've been too busy with announcements lately."
Xia Weiliang, uninterested in putting on a sisterly show with her, leisurely withdrew her hand and took off the Barbie pink gloves she was wearing, throwing them onto the table.
Xia Yiran's expression changed slightly.
Xia Weiliang chuckled and said word by word, "Being busy now is a good thing, cherish it. Because when you have nothing to do in the future, you will miss this period very, very much~"
Xia Weiliang knew very well who had framed her in her previous life.
But there was no rush, this debt had to be settled slowly.
Brother Cheng gave Sister Hua a look. Sister Hua cleared her throat and said, "It's almost time, we should get ready to go up."
Xia Yiran left with Zhang Peng, her face dark.
"Brother Peng, did you see how arrogant she was just now! I don't care, you have to blacken me fiercely in the press releases, black her to death!"
"Do you even need me to tell you that?" Zhang Peng leaned in and whispered, "The articles are already prepared and will be released after the show."
In the makeup room, Brother Cheng sighed softly, "Old Song owes Liang'er more than just an apology."
Indeed, one dressed as Cinderella and the other as her sister, directly corresponding to their real-life status. Was this not enough to make people uncomfortable?
How could one be so harsh on their own people!
Sister Hua came to comfort Xia Weiliang, "Liang'er, if you don't want to see her, then you can go back and rest! Brother Cheng and I will handle Brother Song for you!"
"That's right, that's right," Brother Cheng said, "Go back and sleep, watch a movie, or go shopping."
Xia Weiliang smiled, "Brother Cheng, Sister Hua, I'm not that fragile!"
Sister Hua and Brother Cheng both gave her a thumbs-up from the heart. Sudan Novel Network
The door opened, and Ruirui strode in, looking so angry he was about to bark like a puppy. "What was Xia Yiran doing here?"
Brother Cheng chuckled, "She didn't do anything, just came to see you and Sister Hua, and chatted with Liang'er for a bit. Everything's fine, it's good."
Sister Hua glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Brother, you're playing the good guy, aren't you?"
"What are you saying? Could I say she came here deliberately to stir up trouble? If someone heard it, wouldn't they post it online and make it a trending topic? Am I the kind of person who likes attention?"
Sister Hua ignored him and turned to Xiao Rui, "Brother, you didn't see it! She was so enthusiastic towards your sister Wei, it made me have to say it was fake!"
Ruirui hated seeing his own people being bullied the most. He was so angry his hair was standing on end.
Xia Weiliang raised her hand to pet him and casually asked the stylist, "Does the program team require me to wear this?"
The stylist avoided her gaze and replied softly.
Brother Cheng, being an old hand, took a glance, snorted, and closed his eyes to rest.
Sister Hua quickly said, "Liang'er, you can switch with me. I've always wanted to try this Barbie pink!"
Sister Hua knew the importance of styling for female celebrities, especially for someone like Xia Weiliang, who was temporarily relying on her looks to gain popularity without significant representative works.
Xia Weiliang smiled gratefully, "Sister, it's okay, I'll wear this today!"
Heh, Sister is beautiful! Sister is also willful!
She found the stylist again and communicated a few words. Upon hearing her request, the stylist nodded enthusiastically, as it didn't violate the requirements from above.
After several episodes, Xia Weiliang's personality had proven to be genuinely down-to-earth, not as troublesome as the internet portrayed, and everyone had a good impression of her.
"Big news! Big news!!"
Director Song ran in excitedly, his face beaming, "Today we have a heavyweight guest..."
Before he could finish speaking, Brother Cheng stood up, "Oh, my old back~" He left without even looking at Director Song.
"Mr. Song, please excuse me~"
Sister Hua said coquettishly, following closely behind.
You could say she was enthusiastic, but Director Song always felt a chill down his spine.
Ruirui didn't dare to be disrespectful to his seniors, but he really didn't want to deal with him, so he could only droop his head and say softly, "Brother Song, we're going to work."
Director Song: "..."
No one wanted to hear such big news?
He turned to look at Xia Weiliang. She was discussing something with the stylist and didn't have time to pay attention to him.
Alright...
They are all very dedicated, which is good, very good... As the chief director, he was very pleased.
As for the heavyweight guest, Xia Weiliang didn't care at all!
Heh, Xia Yiran had already provoked her to her doorstep, so why wouldn't she accept the challenge?
