Chapter 702 - Who are You Trying to Deceive?
Chapter 702: Who are You Trying to Deceive?
After this incident, Yu Shaowei and Gong Xinhai met twice at the TV station. The other party acted as usual and he was still very cheeky when he greets him, as though their previous clash had not happened before. It seemed as though the both of them were simply putting on a show.
Just this psychological quality alone, was indeed comparable to that of a top artiste.
But it was true that Yu Shaowei couldn’t do it without feeling awkward or embarrassed.
So, he asked Jiang Yuning how he should be treating Gong Xinhai. However, Jiang Yuning had a very indifferent attitude towards this method.
“Treat him however you want to treat him. If you can get along with him, then stay away from him. You have to maintain a good connection but most importantly, you have to protect your own feelings and emotions. You have to maintain your own edge. There is no point in being a stereotypical soul. Ultimately, you have to understand that you’re living for yourself, so you should not waste so much time on these people who means nothing to you at all.”
Yu Shaowei understood that this was what he wanted to do for himself. He wanted to be his true self.
However, there was something that he could not understand. Jiang Yuning was obviously not much older than him, so why was she so clear and transparent?
...
Soon, <Superstar Transformation> was going to start recording. The people on Gong Xinhai’s side worked hard in advance to treat the production team well and to maintain a good relationship with them so that Gong Xinhai could have an easy time when he was recording.
Gong Xinhai wanted nothing more than to be given a better spot on stage, more shots and also very favorable edits.
However, <Superstar Transformation> was Lin Cangxiao’s program. Besides that, Lin Cangxiao and Jiang Yuning’s personal friendship was very close. So, Gong Xinhai could not gain much advantage for himself anyway.
Moreover, after the previous incident, Gong Xinhai’s team had already learnt their lesson and they changed their strategy this time. They were planning to steer clear of Yu Shaowei because they believed that people were prone to make mistakes when they were highly sought after.
Didn’t Jiang Yuning update his image?
They wanted to see if Yu Shao Wei’s persona could stand up or not!
What kind of cold person was he? Could Yu Shaowei really be that kind of dominating and cold person?
However, they had no idea that being cold and lonely was Yu Shaowei’s nature.
This was Yu Shaowei’s first public event after being considered a key cultivation target by Jiang Yuning. Therefore, this event was very important for both Yu Shaowei and for Jiang Yuning. This was the best time for all parties’ interests to be on the move.
In the audience’s eyes, the previous Yu Shaowei was stiff, awkward, and had a persona that did not belong to him. Moreover, he looked like the kind of handsome bad boy who would go around breaking girls’ hearts.
So, how could it be so easy to completely refresh Yu Shaowei’s image in the eyes of the audience?
Just because they knew it was important, Jiang Yuning was there this time when Yu Shaowei did his styling.
The makeup artist was nervous as hell. She knew that Jiang Yuning was very difficult to work with, and she thought that Jiang Yuning would have many demands. However, Jiang Yuning wasn’t as scary as she thought.
She just needed Yu Shaowei to have a clean image. As for his clothing, he was wearing a dark grey turtleneck sweater and a dark brown trench coat jacket was perfectly adequate.
Aloof and cool, with just the right temperament.
“He does not need any accessories. That’s fine.” Jiang Yuning replied as she watched Yu Shaowei changed his hairstyle and let the makeup artist take off his ring and necklace for him. “But there’s something missing. Can we cut his hair so that we can push it to the side instead?”
That was something that Yu Shaowei had never tried before.
So, he was a bit indecisive.
At this time, Jiang Yuning vetoed herself out, “Let’s not do that for now. It’s fine. I’m afraid that you will scare the fans if you change too much.”
When the makeup artist heard Jiang Yuning say this, she even patted herself on the back, although she didn’t know what she was nervous about.
Actually, the makeup artist had applied makeup to Yu Shaowei before, and at that time, she thought that the actor was very handsome. However, since he looked like someone who would cheat on her, she didn’t pay much attention to him.
Now that Yu Shaowei was standing behind Jiang Yuning, that cool and distant, high-class feeling came over her.
At the same time, she also made up a mental picture of Yu Shaowei with short hair. She felt that he would definitely look even cooler and he would certainly rock the bad boy look. Moreover, he would make people’s heartbeat quicken in an instant.
Jiang Yuning really had serious consideration for the mood of the audience.
A moment later, the program staff informed them of the recording time.
Jiang Yuning looked Yu Shaowei up and down before she nodded in satisfaction, “Go ahead and be yourself.”
Yu Shaowei looked at the mirror off to the side, feeling that the person in the mirror was both strange and familiar. He was excited, but he was also scared.
He was also afraid, and he could not help but wonder if this true self would really be liked and accepted by everyone?
Jiang Yuning looked at him with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She looked very amused as she read Yu Shaowei’s emotions.
“If you’re so sceptical, why don’t you just go out and verify it?”
“Very handsome!” The makeup artist on the side saw this and immediately gave Yu Shaowei a compliment and cheered him up, “Trust me.”
Yu Shaowei took a deep breath and also gathered his courage After that, he then headed to the limousine prepared by the production team, so that they could bring him where the guests were gathering for the show.
“Director Jiang, aren’t you going with us?”
“If I go along, he will be nervous.” Jiang Yuning answered the makeup artist. Furthermore, she also had absolute trust in Mr. Lin Cangxiao.
This public appearance today was indeed important, but...it wasn’t absolute.
Of course, if Yu Shaowei could lay a good foundation today, that would be the best thing.
...
The recording of <Superstar Transformation> had officially begun with the assembly of guests.
In an idyllic garden, surrounded by flowers, the guests of this episode have started to arrive.
There were a total of eight guests, comprising of four men and four women.
Originally, the female guests were very excited when they knew that Gong Xinhai would be in this episode. After all, he was a very new and popular artiste. As for Yu Shaowei, they simply felt very indifferent towards him.
However, after learning that Yu Shaowei was the newcomer that Jiang Yuning was promoting, they have changed their attitude.
Gong Xinhai was a passer-by now, and Yu Shaowei was the one that they should be starting a love line with if they could
Regardless of whether Yu Shao Wei was really a scum as it was said, he was still handsome. Wasn’t he?
Although his previous style of dressing was still earthy and trendy.
A boy with an evil look, would not work with a sunshine style and personality. That was two opposite ends of the pole, right?
As the guests assembled, they were all freezing and shivering in the drizzle.
However, Yu Shaowei hadn’t appeared yet.
Teacher Lin Cangxiao was afraid that it would be cold, so he joked with the guests and also praised Gong Xinhai for being handsome. However, Gong Xinhai acted modestly: “To be honest, Shaowei is really good-looking. Furthermore, when you see him in person, you realize that his skin condition is super good and he dresses with style.”
Who are you trying to deceive?
Teacher Lin laughed without saying anything, as he could see right through him.
In fact, the several female guests really didn’t expect much from Yu Shaowei.
At this time, Yu Shaowei’s car finally arrived late.
After the sedan stopped, the driver was the first to get out of the car. He hurriedly explained to the production team, “Sorry, I’m late. We had a situation on the road and I got a flat tire.”
At this time, the production staff opened the car door for Yu Shaowei...
