Yunhai Resort lives up to its name of "Sea of Clouds", with the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and a vast expanse of white.
The rising sun casts dazzling light and shines through the clouds and mist, creating a unique scene of light in the mist.
There was a slight temperature difference on the top of the mountain in the early morning. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, who had just gone out, were wearing thin clothes over short sleeves. When they saw the cloud and mist scenery outside the villa, they stopped and lingered for a while.
"It's so spectacular!" Liu Yifei's admiring eyes showed ripples. The magnificent scenery formed by nature made her soul sublime. She couldn't help but open her arms to embrace it all, and took a deep breath of the fresh air with the fragrance of flowers.
"You can't even see the sea." Chu Xuan stood next to her with his hands in his pockets. While admiring the scenery, he also became more determined to pay attention to leisure when working with Liu Yifei in the future, in order to pursue a rare lifestyle that combines work and rest.
.
"Let's go." Liu Xiaoli also watched for a while, but work matters kept her from urging.
After hearing her words, the group of people walked a few steps to the side, got on the tour bus called in advance, and walked down the mountain while enjoying the scenery.
The closer we got to the foot of the mountain, the thinner the clouds and mist became, until the sea and sky came into view. Without the clouds and mist, the commercial vehicle coming to greet us at the foot of the mountain also appeared.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, which is also the entrance to the resort, the group of people and Mr. Ai said "good morning" to each other, and immediately got in the car and set off for the Sea World Shopping Center.
Sea World Shopping Center is an "L" shaped cubic building with a unique architectural shape and is close to the sea. It has naturally become one of the city's bustling business districts.
Every year, fashion shows that are in line with international standards are basically held here.
"Mr. Chu, Miss Liu."
Arriving at the entrance of the shopping mall, Wang Wenqin, her makeup team and costume designers were already waiting.
The two parties said hello, and the group of people walked into the shopping mall.
A large clothing show has been formed on the first floor of the shopping mall.
On the dreamy T stage, many male and female models are walking, gorgeous combination of lights, and cameras in different directions are adjusting their angles according to each show.
"Their figures are so good." Liu Yifei looked at the models on the catwalk, and she couldn't help but muttered because of their body lines.
Chu Xuan took a few glances and realized that any model's body shape was indeed very good, but she was a model after all, so it was normal to have such a figure.
"In terms of physical condition, you are no worse than them." Wang Wenqin turned to Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and said.
Hearing this, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei raised their lips slightly and followed the teachers to the backstage.
The backstage space is very large. Unlike many evening parties that have many small resting rooms, the backstage space of the catwalk is a large open space with rows of dressing tables all connected together without partitions.
When a group of people came here, there were quite a few of them, including models, agents, makeup artists, fashion designers, etc., dozens to hundreds.
They were very quiet and only spoke in low voices without disturbing each other.
One of them, over forty years old, was wearing a black shiny leather jacket, very fashionable.
When he saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei arriving, he put down his arms and opened his legs to greet them.
"Mr. Chu, Miss Liu, welcome to the Xiamen International Fashion Exhibition." He extended his hand.
"This is the person in charge of the event organizer, Teacher Lin." Mr. Ai introduced.
"Hello, Teacher Lin." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei shook hands respectively.
Teacher Lin said enthusiastically: "We are honored and welcome that you two can come to this fashion show and be the opening guests, and it is a special event."
The fashion circle is a niche circle and a "luxury" circle, and it is destined not to receive special attention from the general public.
As super popular stars, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have proven results in their online and offline appeal, which can be said to be extraordinary.
These two people can come to the show, even if it is for endorsement, their organizers will value and welcome them.
With these two people here, this fashion show will definitely attract more attention from people across the country, and it will also expand the market for the fashion circle to some extent.
"Teacher Lin, you are so polite. This is our honor." Liu Yifei said modestly.
"It's just that we are coming from across the border. We probably won't reach the level of professionalism in a few days. Then the teachers will just stop laughing." Chu Xuan said.
"Everywhere, people from all walks of life are very tolerant of the opening show." Teacher Lin said.
He added: "Although the opening show is not a formal show, the opening show is very important. It is related to the expectations, attention and fashion taste evaluation of the guests present for the show, and it is also related to domestic and foreign manufacturers' evaluation of the brand.
The purchase and distribution rate of clothing is also related to the follow-up rate of the audience and the love rate for brand clothing."
"This is so stressful." Liu Yifei patted her chest.
Teacher Lin said suddenly: "Don't be pressured. Believe me, as long as you two appear, it will be a surprise."
Hearing what he said, whether it was true or false, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei both smiled lightly and nodded.
Under the curious gaze of many people backstage, Teacher Lin led Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to a makeup space specially set aside for them.
"Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are really here?"
"The news on the Internet is spreading like wildfire. The offline newspapers and periodicals in Xiamen are all their propaganda. How can it be fake?"
"Sisters, this is an opportunity. With Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei opening the show, more people will pay attention to our show."
"Eh? Indeed, this is a good thing."
"Who are the models who help Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei? These models are blessed. If they go a few rounds with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, they will gain more attention."
"Do you even need to ask? They must be the models promoted by the organizer."
People in the background were talking quietly.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also came to their makeup space.
In front of these two rows of dressing tables, a group of models were sitting, fourteen female models and fourteen male models.
The models all looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and some waved and said hello.
As someone just commented, these people are all lukewarm models promoted by the organizer.
Maybe you can ride on the popularity of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and become popular?
With this in mind, the models were very happy and enthusiastic about Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Teacher Lin said: "Because the opening show is your special show, and each round of catwalks cannot be stopped, so Mr. Ai and I have invited some industry friends to help you."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded slightly, looked at the models, and waved.
Teacher Lin added: "There are three shows in total, each with five rounds. In the first show, Miss Liu led 14 female models in the women's show, in the second show, Mr. Chu led 14 male models in the men's show, and in the third show, the men's and women's shows
Matching show.”
"Each round has a set of costumes. Because this is a special show for you, your makeup and costumes will be a little more complicated, so you must come backstage immediately after each round to do your makeup and change costumes."
"It requires the cooperation of various types of workers and good control of the time. After each round, the host will come on stage to join the show and give you some time. After the show is over, the next round will start immediately."
"Considering the lack of time, we combined the first and second shows into one women's show and one men's show, giving each of them more time for makeup."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. There were three rounds of five rounds in each round, that is, fifteen rounds. Each round required different makeup and clothing.
As soon as I thought about it, the pressure doubled.
"For us, this is a challenge." Chu Xuan said with some pressure.
Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly. At the end of each round, she only had a few minutes to do her makeup, and then she had to start a new round of catwalks with a new look. This was too challenging.
However, she likes this kind of challenge, it's so exciting!
Seeing her daughter's eyes twinkling and her interest high, Liu Xiaoli shook her head inwardly. Her daughter's pursuit of new things has not changed since she was a child.
Of course, this is also a good thing. If there is pursuit, there will be challenges, and if there are challenges, there will be progress. This kind of mentality is beneficial in both life and career.
"Challenging something different will be a vivid memory in life." Teacher Lin said with a smile.
"That's true." Chu Xuan raised his lips slightly and nodded.
Teacher Lin continued: "Before three o'clock in the afternoon, it is the rehearsal time for the other models. Your rehearsal time is from three o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock in the afternoon."
"Then, before three o'clock in the afternoon in the past few days, you need to constantly change into catwalk clothes. The makeup artist will design the makeup that matches your body shape and face shape as perfectly as possible according to your fifteen clothing styles.
make."
"And the size of the clothing will definitely be inappropriate, so it needs to be cut on site until it is close to 100% suitable."
"So, the arrangement these days is that before three o'clock every afternoon, you have to cooperate with the makeup teacher and the costume designer to keep changing clothes and putting on makeup. This may be boring. I hope you can bear with it."
"Then, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Teacher Wang will guide you on the catwalk and design the most charming and stylized way of walking by observing your body shape and dressing style."
"That's about it. If you don't understand anything, please feel free to communicate."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded.
"When does it start?" Chu Xuan asked.
Mr. Ai spread his hands: "If you are ready, you can start now."
Liu Yifei glanced at Chu Xuan, and then said: "Then let's get started."
Mr. Ai glanced at the costume designer and the teacher in charge of the makeup team. The two understood and guided Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to sit side by side in front of the dressing table.
When Liu Xiaoli saw them starting to work, she reached out from behind and touched their shoulders. She bent over and lowered her head between them and said, "I'm going to go shopping nearby and call if I need anything."
"Mom, have fun," Liu Yifei said playfully.
"Auntie, have fun." Chu Xuan followed.
Liu Xiaoli showed her face slightly, took her assistant and went out, preparing to visit Xiamen's scenery.
Just like that, for several days in a row, their work and life in Xiamen officially began.
In the morning, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei cooperated with the makeup design and were treated as test subjects by the makeup artist.
There is nothing that can be done about it. It is the first time for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to walk in a show. Naturally, the makeup artist does not have any information about them. It is also a brand new fashion brand. How to make the makeup work more vividly on the two of them?
This requires constant experimentation with makeup to find a fit.
Seeing Chu Xuan's makeup with eyeshadow for the first time, Liu Yifei glanced at it and couldn't help but said: "Boyfriend, you are so sexy."
Chu Xuan looked at himself in the mirror. Such makeup made him a little embarrassed and said, "Can you please stop wearing eye shadow?"
"Mr. Chu," the makeup artist said, "No one can stop the sex appeal of a masculine face with sharp features like yours, believe me."
"Yes, yes." Liu Yifei smiled again and again and said: "When the time comes, show off his muscles a little bit, that will be more sexy."
"Ms. Liu, this is a good idea." The makeup artist nodded repeatedly.
Chu Xuan was speechless and let the makeup artist do it.
In the afternoon, the two learned model walking.
With the advantages brought by the actor's professional body, with a little correction from teacher Wang Wenqin, my studies quickly got on the right track.
She has a lot of experience in costume dramas, and Liu Yifei has more experience in dancing. She couldn't help but participate in the design of catwalk moves.
"Teacher, can I hold Chu Xuan's hand when I get here?"
"Chu Xuan, here I feel you holding my waist, me caressing your chest, and then we face the audience together."
"Chu Xuan, stop here. You look at the audience and I look at you. This is better."
"teacher……"
Chu Xuan didn't say anything in this regard the whole time, quietly watching Liu Yifei play, letting her manipulate and direct her.
Wang Wenqin also didn't expect that Liu Yifei seemed to have a natural talent in posing, and Liu Yifei also knew how to make Chu Xuan look handsome and train Chu Xuan to look good.
She also felt that many of the movements were good, and after helping to adjust the details, it went according to Liu Yifei's wishes.
At night, if Deng Chao and Sun Li were there, they would play around and chat with Deng Chao and Sun Li when they went back. If they were not there, they would spend their time together, enjoying the sea breeze or having fun together.
Games for leisure and relaxation.
Just like that, time flew by inadvertently.
——May 7.
Since tomorrow is the day of the opening show, final preparations for stage construction and lighting adjustment need to be made, so there will be no rehearsal.
That night, the organizer deliberately left more rehearsal time for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei so that they could make more preparations for tomorrow's big show.
Under the guidance of the cameraman, host, field control teacher, and teacher Wang Wenqin, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei appeared from behind the scenes, then froze and struck a pose, stayed for a few seconds, then took off and walked onto the T stage for the last rehearsal.
.
Teacher Wang Wenqin followed the two people on the catwalk, sometimes watching from behind, sometimes running to the front, carefully studying the two people's walking posture and body shape.
After this walk, she made a gesture and said with satisfaction: "OK! Very good!"
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and were both very happy.
Although they are facing an unknown field and there is definitely pressure, the freshness and excitement also bring them a different feeling.
After several days of makeup and training, they have initially reached the stage where they can go on stage and walk in shows.
It's gratifying and congratulatory, and we encourage each other.
"Thank you, teachers, for your hard work." The two bowed slightly.
"I'll see you stunning everyone tomorrow." Teacher Lin applauded, and other teachers followed suit.
"Go back and have a good rest. Be sure to adjust to the most relaxed state of mind. You can come back later tomorrow." Wang Wenqin said.
"Okay." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded.
The two went backstage, changed their clothes and took off their makeup.
After leaving the shopping mall, Liu Xiaoli and I got in the car back to the villa.
Admiring the night view of the seaside through the car window, we soon arrived at the entrance of Yunhai Resort.
"Mom, you go back first. Chu Xuan and I will take a walk on the beach to relax." Liu Yifei said after getting off the car.
Hearing what she said, Chu Xuan had no objection. He would actually go on stage tomorrow, so he was somewhat nervous. He also wanted to relax.
Liu Xiaoli is also aware of the nervousness of the two children. After all, it is their first time to try something unknown. She has strong expectations for whether the two children can shine tomorrow, and she is also very concerned about their physical and mental state.
"Go and be safe." She did not refuse.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei pulled Chu Xuan to the other side and came to the beach.
Small waves hit the beach one after another, and there was a "crash" sound in the darkness.
The overflowing sea breeze blows, the tips of the hair are fluttering, and the hems of the clothes flutter.
The two of them held hands and walked on the beach, feeling all this and their mood gradually relaxed.
"If the sea can take away my sorrow..."
In this two-person world on the beach where it was almost early in the morning, Liu Yifei held Chu Xuan with one hand and opened her other hand to face the sea breeze, and she couldn't help but sing loudly.
"The key is low." Chu Xuan said.
Liu Yifei paused, coughed, and raised the key: "If the sea can..."
"It's still low." Chu Xuan said again.
Liu Yifei looked at Chu Xuan angrily, coughed a few more times, and finally let out her voice: "If the sea..."
It's just that this time I couldn't sing after half a sentence. Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing and said: "My voice is broken. If you can't sing, don't force yourself."
Liu Yifei laughed and pretended to slap Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan let go of Liu Yifei's hand and ran forward.
Liu Yifei immediately raised her legs and chased after Chu Xuan.
However, Chu Xuan ran for a few steps and then stopped running. Liu Yifei came up and struggled playfully: "Why didn't you run away?"
Chu Xuan took Liu Yifei's hand again and said, "You are just fooling around. What will you do if I run away?"
Liu Yifei snorted, clasped her fingers with Chu Xuan, and said, "You have a conscience."
"Go back." Chu Xuan took her back.
"Yeah." Liu Yifei nodded.
"Tomorrow will be the real challenge." Chu Xuan said softly.
Liu Yifei stretched out her other hand towards him.
Seeing this, Chu Xuan gave her a knowing high-five.
