Chapter 2402 - 2402 Twins
2402 Twins
After styling the costume, Qiao Weiyang came to the recording studio.
The first recording was of everyone meeting, greeting each other, and introducing the situation.
Actually, they had already done the greetings just now, but many people’s performance was still very different from when there were no cameras around.
This time, Zhang Xi roused her emotions and treated everyone very seriously. Her greetings were also more polite than before. Wang Shuqi did not have the air of a senior at all. However, when she saw Qiao Weiyang, her eyes flickered.
Qiao Weiyang could immediately confirm that it was not that she did not know about the dressing room incident but that she knew too much.
Qiao Weiyang looked over. Only Xinyue, Luo Lin, Tian Ke, and Li Qizhi were not much different from before. Their attitudes did not change much. The other people’s attitudes were a little different when there were cameras in front of them and when there were not.
Of course, she could not rule out the possibility that there were people who separated work and life more clearly because of their personalities.
Qiao Weiyang had yet to classify the characters of these people.
Xinyue was still very lively and had a smile on her face. No matter what others said, she was sweet and obedient.
When Qiao Weiyang saw her, she remembered that when she first came to the entertainment industry to work, she was also like this. She started out with innocence and curiosity, but she slowly became more guarded and vigilant.
After experiencing so much, she had seen all kinds of sides to human nature. Hence, it was not wrong for the Su family to treat her like this.
The director came in and gave the mission. “For this recording, we’ll still use the previous costumes. For the next recording, we’ll use the method of drawing lots. According to the scores of the actors, those who are ranked at the front will draw lots to determine the style and clothes that Mrs. Wang or Ms. Qiao will design for them for the next competition. Does anyone have any questions?”
Hearing this, Xinyue immediately smiled sweetly and said, “There’s no problem. It’s very fair!”
Luo Lin smiled too. “I’m fine with that too.”
Li Qizhi and Tian Ke discussed for a while and said, “We don’t have any objections.”
However, Zhang Xi and Zheng Lida discussed for a little longer. In front of the cameras, the two of them did not express their true opinions. They only said, “If we draw lots directly, what if too many people draw Mrs. Wang or Ms. Qiao? Wouldn’t it make one of them have too much work while the other one has nothing to do?”
The director smiled and said, “That’s indeed a possible problem, so we won’t let everyone fall into this situation when the time comes.”
Zhang Xi had specially invited Wang Shuqi over to style her. If she could not get her, wouldn’t she be at a disadvantage?
She looked down on Qiao Weiyang. What right did Qiao Weiyang have in comparison to Wang Shuqi?
Zheng Lida immediately said, “Instead of drawing lots, why don’t we just choose according to the rankings? Those who are ranked at the top can choose Mrs. Wang or Qiao Weiyang to help them style their clothes next time. This way, those who are ranked at the top can have a certain amount of autonomy to choose. It’ll also show the value of the rankings, no?”
What he said made sense.
The director asked Zhang Xi, “Ms. Zhang, what do you think?”
“I think there’s no problem with this.” This was what Zhang Xi wanted.
Ma Jianhua chimed in, “I think this works too. But it’s up to the others.”
The other four people were Luo Lin, Xinyue, Tian Ke, and Li Qizhi.
The four of them were either poor or young. Other than Luo Lin, the other three were all from Meng Yihao’s company. They were all newbies who had just obtained resources and did not have much say.
Seeing that Zhang Xi, Zheng Lida, and Ma Jianhua had agreed, the four of them nodded. “This is good too. We have no objections.”
Seeing that everyone had agreed to this plan, the director recorded it down.
“Next, we’ll reveal the rankings for the previous competition,” the director said. “Seventh place, Luo Lin.”
There was no discomfort on Luo Lin’s handsome face. He nodded and said, “Thank you, judges. I’ll work harder in the future.”
Qiao Weiyang had watched the previous competition. Luo Lin’s performance was actually very good for someone who didn’t study acting and entered the industry relatively late.
He entered the industry at the age of 24 and was already 28 years old. In the industry, it was unlikely for such an artiste to become popular in the market. Perhaps this was the reason why the judges gave him low marks.
However, he had a pair of eyes that were very good at conveying emotions. He had a very good grasp of the details. It was just that in terms of acting skills and reading lines, probably because no one had ever taught him, he had to figure them out himself. Thus, he looked a little inexperienced.
What a pity.
Qiao Weiyang was lost in thoughts.
“The sixth place is Li Qizhi.”
Li Qizhi stood up. “Thank you, everyone. Thank you, judges.”
Then, they were Xinyue, Tian Ke, Zheng Lida, and Ma Jianhua. Zhang Xi got first place.
She had been making a name for herself in this show. Every time, she got enough exposure, and the judges especially favored her.
Qiao Weiyang recalled watching the show previously. At that time, she felt that Luo Lin and Xinyue had the best acting skills. They didn’t follow the trends, but they had their own ideas. Zhang Xi was indeed able to control the scenes easily. She could cry and laugh on cue, but her acting skills were too perfunctory.
However, the judges had their own opinions, so Qiao Weiyang couldn’t interfere too much.
“Zhang Xi, congratulations,” Ma Jianhua said to Zhang Xi with a smile.
“Alright, now that the rankings have been announced, everyone can choose the costume designer you want to work with next time,” the director said. “Let’s start with Zhang Xi.”
Zhang Xi thought for a moment and said, “I’ve always wanted to collaborate with Mrs. Wang. Although I’ve contacted her many times in the past, I wasn’t able to match up my schedule. It’s a pity that I haven’t succeeded in collaborating with her until now. I wish to collaborate with Mrs. Wang this time. Mrs. Wang, I choose you.”
Wang Shuqi smiled comfortably. “Okay, okay.”
It was Ma Jianhua’s turn to choose. She was rather old-fashioned, and she had a lot of concerns about Qiao Weiyang, so she said, “Many years ago, I worked with Mrs. Wang for a film. Now, I wish to continue working with Mrs. Wang, so I choose Mrs. Wang.”
“No problem.” Wang Shuqi nodded.
When it came to Zheng Lida, he came from the same company as Zhang Xi. Everyone thought that he would choose Wang Shuqi, but they did not expect him to say, “I want to choose Ms. Qiao. Ms. Qiao, you won’t reject me, right?”
Qiao Weiyang was indeed a little surprised that he would choose her, but everyone had the freedom to make their own pick, so there was nothing to say.
