After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 596 Bringing my own costume, prop sword, and a little show-off

With the major platforms and invited guests rehearsing intensively, the day of the New Year's Eve gala live broadcast arrived quickly.

Although the live performance only started in the evening, the guest performers had been arriving at the venue one after another during the day.

Those who are local are fine, but for someone like Jiang Hanying, who was filming in another city the day before, she has to get up early to catch a flight.

By the time we arrived at the venue for the party, it was already afternoon.

Jiang Hanying sat up from her cheap owner's lap, took the hat and mask handed to her, put them on, and as she was about to get out of the car, she turned back to remind him, "The party doesn't start until 7:30, you and your uncle don't need to come too early."

"I know, go ahead."

Jiang Hanying got out of the car with Pei Yuan, who was carrying a bag, and Yue Zhuo, who was carrying a long box. They hadn't walked far when they saw that the entrance to the guest venue was already crowded with cameras and microphones.

Many fans carrying light sticks supporting their idols were stopped outside the barricades.

Walking in front of her, waiting to enter while having their passes checked at the entrance, was a newly popular boy band that had just risen to fame this year. The fans who had come to support them were shouting and cheering loudly.

The boy band members waved to the fans again, and the cheers grew even louder.

Fortunately, the security was quite effective, preventing the overly excited fans from rushing over the construction site barriers.

Compared to the leisurely pace of this group, Jiang Hanying's group moved much faster.

Upon reaching the entrance, they handed over the passes they had prepared beforehand. The three of them barely lingered at the entrance, quickly completed the check, and went straight in.

The boy band members next door, who were still interacting with fans, didn't even see which guest had just walked past them.

Of course, the reason why she got in so quickly is also because Jiang Hanying didn't announce on her account in advance that she would be a guest at the New Year's Eve gala.

Her fans had no idea she was coming to Beijing to perform, let alone come to see her.

Even some of the other guests who will be performing on the same stage don't know she'll be on the show yet, because she only came to rehearse once at the beginning.

Li Chengxiao watched through the car window as Jiang Hanying led Pei Yuan and Yue Zhuo into the venue without incident, before instructing the driver to start the car and drive away.

Once inside the venue, staff members led the way, guiding her to the entrance of the dressing room/restroom with her name on it.

"It's even a separate dressing room!" After going in and closing the door, Pei Yuan glanced at the not-so-large private room, put down her bag, opened it, and exclaimed in amazement.

The bags and suitcases she and Yue Zhuo carried contained tonight's performance costumes and prop swords, respectively. These two items were originally supposed to be provided by the event organizers for the guests, but unfortunately, her own artist had her boyfriend sponsor them. After seeing the performance costumes and prop swords that Instructor Li had helped prepare, she decisively forgot about the ones provided by the organizers.

She even had a premonition that no matter how meticulously the organizers prepared, it wouldn't be as good as what Instructor Li had prepared for Sister Hanying!
Just as Pei Yuan hung up her performance costume, she received a call from Guan Shan.

"Are you here?"

"Just arrived at the dressing room that the organizers prepared for Sister Hanying."

"Okay, I'll be there soon, I'll hang up now."

However, Jiang Niannian arrived even faster than Guan Shan.

Jiang Niannian and the others arrived even earlier than Jiang Hanying. After all, all of them had to wear heavy stage makeup. There was one main dancer and eight backup dancers, but only three makeup artists, so they had to take turns to do their makeup.

After finishing the makeup, a final adjustment is needed to ensure the overall look remains consistent.

Her makeup as the lead dancer was more elaborate than that of the backup dancers.

The group arrived early in the morning and started working. When Jiang Hanying arrived, her hair and makeup were just finished, and she knocked on the door to say hello with her exquisite stage makeup on.

"elder sister!"

"You're here, have a seat." Jiang Hanying was eating the fruit and snacks prepared for the guests on the table in the room. She greeted Jiang Niannian and handed her a freshly peeled orange. "Want some?"

Jiang Niannian hesitated for a moment but still accepted it. "Thank you, sister."

She usually doesn't eat anything other than the food she prepares herself before a performance, preferring to be safe than sorry.

However, I can make an exception for what the person in front of me is offering.

Jiang Niannian finished her orange in small bites, then looked up to see the person sitting opposite her staring at her with their chin resting on their hand. Her face flushed. "Why are you staring at me, sister?"

"You look good."

Jiang Niannian has a delicate and beautiful appearance. When she sits quietly, she looks like a delicate flower reflected in water. Now, with the bold and meticulously crafted stage makeup, she looks absolutely stunning!

Since people are sitting right in front of us and it looks so good, we should naturally take a closer look.

Jiang Niannian suppressed the hand that wanted to touch her face, "Sister is also very pretty."

Even if she goes out without makeup, her natural good complexion and healthy glow are what give her a bright and refreshing vitality.

Jiang Hanying's gaze then fell on Jiang Niannian's hands: "Let me see your hands."

Jiang Niannian noticed the girl's hands when she was eating oranges. Not only were the hands beautiful, but they were also decorated, with paintings on the nails.

Jiang Niannian obediently handed over her hand. Seeing Jiang Hanying admiring her nails, she softly explained, "These are custom-made nail art pieces for this performance. I have other styles too. If you like them, I'll give you a few sets. You'll definitely look great in them."

"I won't wear it, just admire your hand."

Guan Shan, who had just arrived and entered the room, saw Jiang Hanying pinching and touching the young girl's hand: "..."

He was starting to worry about Li Chengxiao.

Jiang Hanying, that guy, he doesn't even spare women!
Pei Yuan, who had just finished ironing her performance costume: Calm down!
Brother Guan probably has no idea how popular Sister Hanying is on set.

You need to avoid suspicion with people of the opposite sex, but you don't need to worry about the same sex, haha!
She's used to it all along!

Guan Shan shifted his gaze from Jiang Hanying, then his attention was immediately drawn to the performance costumes hanging to the side. "Are these the performance costumes prepared by the organizers?"

Considering that these performance costumes are usually only worn once and then put away, just looking at the style and material, it's incredibly elaborate!

“No, it was prepared by Instructor Li for Sister Hanying,” Pei Yuan said, then pointed to the prop sword on the table next to her. “The prop sword is also there. The ones prepared by the organizers haven’t been delivered yet.”

Even if it is delivered, the chances of it being used are slim.

Jiang Hanying stood up, picked up the prop sword that was still in its sheath, drew it out, and twirled it, intentionally showing off, "Isn't it pretty?"

Jiang Niannian immediately gave a "Wow!" and nodded with shining eyes: "It's really beautiful."

Guan Shan looked at the longsword in front of him, which suddenly seemed to be no different from a real sword, exquisite in every way yet sharp, and could even be said to exist only in words and writings. His eyes twitched involuntarily, and he nodded, "Instructor Li has put in a lot of effort."

Jiang Hanying raised her eyebrows triumphantly, then swung her sword back into its sheath.

She's just that beautiful in person, no arguments allowed!
