Chapter 8 How to Deal with the Spotlight

Spring afternoons in Shanghai are always so beautiful.The low clouds press down on the scattered high and low cities, even if the weather is not sunny, it still makes people feel warm and sluggish, unconsciously carrying a kind of sleepy laziness.

However, in the busiest business district, amidst the crowds, there are a large group of young men and women in high spirits, holding all kinds of support lights, waiting tirelessly in the shopping mall.

The lights swept across the excited faces of the fans, and the lights in their hands all had the same name on them——Liu Ziyi.

Today is the press conference for the new endorsement of the popular actress Liu Ziyi and a certain makeup brand. At this time, the lobby of the shopping mall where the event was held was already packed with fans. Crazy fans kept pushing forward, looking forward to being able to meet with her. No matter how close the stage is by a centimeter.

Although it was still spring, the air in the shopping mall was not circulating. Many fans were sweating profusely. There was even a frail girl who fainted and was carried out. The scene was once chaotic.

However, even though the scene was out of control, Liu Ziyi's figure still did not appear on the set up stage.

The fans stretched their necks and stared at the exit of the stage, not daring to slack off for a second.The waiting spectators talked a lot, some said they were still putting on makeup, some said they were playing big names, some said they hadn't settled down with the brand yet... There was a lot of chatter, which made it even more chaotic.An angry boy even climbed onto the railing and shouted: "Liu Ziyi, we have been waiting in line since last night just to see you! Come out quickly!"

Under his instigation, many people echoed, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

The noise passed through the corridor and all the way to the backstage.

In the temporary dressing room, a group of people were running around like headless chickens.The people from the brokerage company were sweating and surrounded Liu Ziyi.The chubby assistant Xiaoyu burst into tears, hugging Liu Ziyi's legs and almost knelt down: "Sister Liu, please, don't worry, wait a little longer!"

When Yan Weiran arrived dragging the makeup box, what he saw was such a noisy scene.

In the midst of the noise, she dragged her huge cosmetic box, separated all kinds of people, and walked towards Liu Ziyi, just like a returning sturgeon, with a single and clear goal.

When various emotions such as anxiety, panic, panic, concern, and confusion are pouring down like a torrential rain, only she is like a lotus leaf that shakes off all the drops of water, unstained by dust.

Walking to Xiaoyu who was about to cry, she asked flatly, "Xiaoyu, what happened?"

"Oh, Weiran, you're here..." Xiaoyu turned her head and saw Yan Weiran, and dragged her to the corner to help her level the huge makeup box.

"What do you think we should do?" Xiaoyu urgently needed to talk, her voice choked up as soon as she grabbed Yan Weiran, "It's over, it's over, sister Liu is on the rise, and there is such a big event on the table, what can I do..."

Yan Weiran pulled a tissue and pressed it to the corner of her eyes, signaling her to calm down: "Don't mess up the makeup, didn't I teach you to use powder to set the makeup on the lower part of the eyes last time? Why do you want to smudge again?"

"What time is it, don't worry about my makeup!" Xiaoyu sat down on Yan Weiran's makeup case, which was comparable to a large suitcase, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue, "Someone...someone threatened Sister Liu , to ruin her face!"

Yan Weiran raised his eyebrows slightly: "Disfigurement? What happened?"

"You don't know, a few days ago we received a threatening letter from Chen Yiling's crazy fans, saying that if Sister Liu dared to go on stage today, she would ruin her face... But Sister Liu said, she is not afraid of those people, no matter what, She will definitely go up today!"

Chen Yiling is Liu Ziyi's deadly rival. The two are about the same level of popularity, and are often compared by others. As they become more entangled with each other, fans gradually become incompatible.A few days ago, Chen Yiling just broke out a scandal with a married man. Today, Liu Ziyi's new endorsement is about to be announced, which immediately caused an uproar - everyone knew that this endorsement was almost in Chen Yiling's pocket, but who knew the negative As soon as the scandal came out, the endorsement was replaced like this, so rumors spread wildly on the Internet that Liu Ziyi framed Chen Yiling for the purpose of stepping on others.Chen Yiling's loyal fans were even more furious, vowing to make Liu Ziyi look good.

Just a few days ago, someone delivered a bloody razor blade to the company, saying that they wanted to ruin the vicious woman's appearance. If Liu Ziyi was capable, she would try to attend the endorsement conference, and there would definitely be surprises.

The brokerage company reported the case immediately, and provided Liu Ziyi with bodyguards, telling her to live in seclusion. For her safety, they also considered canceling the press conference.

"However, Sister Liu is unwilling. She insists on attending today's press conference, so as not to disappoint the fans who have always supported her..." Xiaoyu lamented.

Yan Weiran nodded and said, "That's right, it's a pity to cancel it."

After all, Liu Ziyi is just a second-tier actress. To receive a makeup endorsement from this big company is simply a leap forward. How could she be willing to give up such a great opportunity for an inaccurate threat.

"However, we also reported to the police, and the company's leaders are rushing over. I think everything will be fine today." Xiaoyu said, clasping her hands together in a prayer posture.

At this time, the person in charge of the brand also came over, and after shaking hands with Liu Ziyi, he waved for Yan Weiran to come over, and introduced: "Miss Liu, this is Yan Weiran, the makeup artist we invited today, she is Zhang Sizhao's disciple, She was also in charge of some of our company’s previous product posters and advertising model make-up, she is very good at our make-up, and I believe she will show you the best results.”

Liu Ziyi nodded, and sent off the people from the brand side with a smile.

Xiaoyu also hurriedly introduced to Liu Ziyi, "Sister Liu, Weiran and I have met several times for your makeup this time, and I have shown her your previous classic makeup looks."

Liu Ziyi let out an "oh", raised her eyebrows and looked Yan Weiran up and down.

Yan Weiran wears perfect nude makeup, at first glance it looks like she doesn't wear any makeup, it's extremely fresh and natural.Only on the delicate cheeks, a layer of pink that seems to be absent emerges from the snow-white and crystal-clear skin, and the lightly drawn eyebrows and eyes look sparse and cold, like plum blossoms that have just bloomed, beautiful, clear and soft.

Looking back, Liu Ziyi caught a glimpse of her pale cheeks in the mirror, glaringly white under the lamp, without her soft and dizzy appearance, and couldn't help feeling annoyed.Coupled with the current rush, he lost his temper when speaking: "Why did you come here now, it's almost time to play."
