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

Chapter 597: There's no comparison, is it a New Year's bonus or something else?

The knocking sounded again. This time, it was the makeup artist arranged by the organizers for the guests, along with staff members who came to deliver the costumes and props.

With these people entering, the not-so-large lounge suddenly felt a bit cramped.

Jiang Niannian was afraid that she would get in the way if she stayed any longer, so she took a photo with Jiang Hanying and then said goodbye and left.

The staff who delivered the costumes and props looked at the plain-colored robe with dark patterns hanging on the clothes rack, which resembled a galaxy, and then looked at the one they brought. They realized that it was inferior in color alone.

She secretly touched the sleeves and the light gauze covering the garment. How to describe the feel? Even before putting it on, she could imagine how light, smooth, and comfortable the costume would be.

The person who delivered the prop sword also saw the longsword that had been put back in the box. Even though all that could be seen was the scabbard and the exposed hilt, it was so exquisite that it looked as if it had been painstakingly crafted by a top craftsman. Even the piece of glass on the tassel looked like a piece of jade that had been carefully carved!

He never imagined it was real jade. What normal person would use such a precious stone on a prop sword that's just for a performance?

Looking at the 3D-printed sword in my hand, with its tassel that I had just bought online and had only tied on to it a short while ago, I suddenly didn't want to put it away. I felt that placing it in the same space would be an insult to the sword that was quietly lying in the box!

After learning that the costumes and prop swords were provided by the guests themselves, the two exchanged a glance, said nothing, put down their things, and left the room on their own.

If the guests' own supplies were inferior to those provided by the organizers, that would be one thing. But the reality is that the guests' own supplies are several levels higher than what the organizers provide, or rather, there's no comparison at all. How can they possibly force the guests to use what the organizers provide?

After seeing the guests they were responsible for and the costumes and props they had brought, the makeup artists had several ideas pop into their heads in an instant.

With such outstanding guests and performance outfits, her makeup and hairstyle absolutely cannot be lacking.

The tools in the box I brought weren't enough, so I simply called my assistant to get some. If that didn't work, I'd just use the materials I had on hand to make something.

After nearly three hours of work, the final product was finally ready.

The makeup artist stretched her slightly sore arms and fingers, but looking at the near-perfect work right in front of her, she couldn't care less about her fatigue and was filled with joy.

From then on, another significant chapter was added to her makeup and styling career!
Jiang Hanying first admired herself in the mirror before turning to face the others in the room.

He met several pairs of eyes staring blankly at him, including Guan Shan's.

While everyone was still reeling from the stunning sight, they heard someone's arrogant and self-righteous voice: "Am I beautiful?"

Guan Shan, instantly snapped back to reality by the question: "..."

However, well, this one does have the right to be narcissistic!

"Beautiful, so beautiful, both beautiful and cool!" Pei Yuan rushed forward excitedly, "Sister, let me help you change into your performance costume."

"That's right!"

Once they've changed into their performance costumes and put on their gear, and they're standing there, it's hard to look away once you've seen them.

"Come take a picture of me."

Without Jiang Hanying reminding her, Pei Yuan had already taken out her phone. It would be her lifelong regret if she didn't take a picture of this look!

Hearing this, she was even more pleased, "Sis, have you finally remembered to prepare some treats for your fans?"

Jiang Hanying blinked. "Uh, I was going to send it to the instructor."

Pei Yuan: "..."

Bai Xinwei was relieved!

However, I still took a few pictures carefully.

After all, Sister Hanying didn't say it couldn't be used for other purposes.

After sending a copy of the photos to the person in question, Pei Yuan noticed that the person was chatting with their boyfriend on their phone. She moved closer to Guan Shan and asked, "Brother Guan, should we send these photos now or after the performance?"

"Let me see."

After looking through all the photos Pei Yuan had taken, Guan Shan selected two: one a side profile and the other a back view. "Upload these two first, so as not to reveal details prematurely. We can upload the rest after the performance." Pei Yuan nodded to indicate that she understood and busied herself uploading them.

Li Chengxiao was playing chess with Li Fulin, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, when his phone screen lit up. He glanced at who had sent the message, then put the white pieces back in the chess box and picked up his phone.

Li Fulin wasn't angry. He glanced at his nephew and quickly thought of how to break the current predicament.

Then a somewhat familiar voice came from my nephew's phone, "Is it good?"

Li Chengxiao clicked on the photo above the voice message bar, stared at it for a moment, then saved and closed the window, replying in the same voice message: "Beautiful."

Li Fulin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by good or bad?"

Li Chengxiao: "You're quite curious. Hanying sent me a photo of her performance tonight."

"Niece-in-law, let me see you too."

Li Chengxiao had no choice but to open the photo again and hand over the phone.

Li Fulin looked at the photo, nodded with appreciation, and said, "It's really beautiful. You'd better treat her well." He then handed the phone back.

"You don't need to tell me that."

"It's about time. Let's go have a meal first, then we'll head out to see my niece's performance. I still need to record my aunt who can't come."

As Li Chengxiao stood up, he glanced at the chessboard.

Are you sure you didn't just not want to continue playing because you knew you were going to lose?

Recently, most of the hot topics in the entertainment industry have focused on which celebrities were invited to participate in which platform's New Year's Eve gala.

Most of them inform their fan groups after receiving the invitation, and some even publish their schedules directly on their accounts.

This attracted many fans to follow the schedule, and basically every rehearsal caused a sensation.

Not to mention the audience seats for the New Year's Eve gala live broadcast, which were snapped up and even sold for several times their original price on the black market, yet still in short supply.

Compared to the frenzy and excitement in other celebrities' fan groups and accounts, where people eagerly share their idols' schedules, Jiang Hanying's account and her fan group, which was only established a few months ago, are peaceful and serene.

The account has been dormant for a long time, and there's been no update on the latest schedule in the group.

The fans were all forced to adopt a passive, indifferent attitude.

Suddenly receiving a notification that their idol had posted a new update, everyone's first reaction was shock!
After looking at the two newly posted photos, I immediately saved them and couldn't wait to leave a comment.

Is this a New Year's Eve perk?

[Although the side and back views are both beautiful, but... dare you post a front view picture?]

[Could this be a hint for a new drama? It looks like a period drama, and there's a sword involved. Could it be a martial arts drama?]

If it were true, that would be great. We've been longing for good martial arts dramas for too long; the most recent classics were filmed ten years ago.

Am I the only one who noticed that this dynamic IP address is from Beijing? Shadow has been filming in Queshan lately, hasn't he?

Yesterday I saw some candid photos posted by Wen Song's fan site admin, and I even spotted his shadow in a corner.

[This sudden appearance in Beijing at this particular time... Friends, I have a bold guess!]

【You mean Shadow also went to the New Year's Eve gala? And in Beijing, is it CCTV?】

[From CCTV... given our current status, it seems a bit off; it might be a problem with Beijing variety shows.]

[Whatever, I've got my phone, computer, tablet, and TV all on. I refuse to believe I can't catch him!]

[But to wait until now to announce it, all I can say is, Shadow, you're something else!]

Who can argue with that!
