2405 Twins
After all, although Luo Lin had only acted in online dramas, they were still aired. The two dramas that Xinyue acted in had not been broadcasted yet.
She was already in this state, yet she still came to comfort him. Luo Lin smiled. “I didn’t take these things to heart. Isn’t it just part of work? It’s normal to encounter these things.”
“That’s right. Anyway, you have to believe in Sister Weiyang. She’s really amazing. She’ll definitely boost our performance with her costumes. There won’t be a problem!” Xinyue gestured with her fist at him.
Luo Lin’s smile came from the bottom of her heart. “Let’s work hard together.”
After Xinyue finished pouring the coffee and left, he wiped the coffee stains that the others had accidentally spilled. Only then did he go back and continue reading the script.
Qiao Weiyang roughly understood everyone’s scenes this time. The seven people’s scenes were all from the period of the Republic of China. The style chosen had to be based on that period. It could not be too modern, nor could it lose the fas.h.i.+on of that period.
After understanding the figures, appearances, and characteristics of the four people in her group, Qiao Weiyang had a rough idea of what kind of clothes the four of them needed.
However, the budget allocated was only 10,000 yuan. This fee was indeed too tight.
It would be fine if it were an ordinary person’s clothing as the quality did not need to be too good.
However, two of the actors were acting as an eldest young master and the eldest miss of a rich family. This meant she needed to use good materials in order for the actors to accurately portray their roles.
During that period in time, these two characters were much richer than the wealthy nowadays.
As soon as the scenes and roles were confirmed, w.a.n.g Shuqi immediately got someone to buy fabric.
Qiao Weiyang was still taking her time.
This time, w.a.n.g Shuqi brought more than ten a.s.sistants with her, while Qiao Weiyang was alone. She needed to make an extra set of clothes, so her time was definitely limited. Seeing how calm she was, Zheng Lida panicked.
“Ms. Qiao, how will you be making the arrangements? Is this really okay? Can you catch up?” Zheng Lida secretly regretted choosing her. If he had chosen Mrs. w.a.n.g back then, there wouldn’t have been so many problems.
Xinyue said from the side, “Why don’t you read the script for a while? Since Sister Weiyang has taken over the job, she must have her own ideas about her work progress. She won’t drag everyone down.”
“That’s true, but…”
“Will the production team let you go on stage naked?” Xinyue asked sweetly.
In front of the cameras, Zheng Lida could not keep urging Qiao Weiyang. He could only turn around and read his own script.
However, Xinyue turned around and asked Qiao Weiyang in a small voice, “Sister Weiyang, are you in a hurry? Do you need anyone’s help?”
“The studio will get someone to help me. Now, I need to confirm what props will be given to you by the production team, as well as their colors and materials. Only then can the clothes match. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the clothes are, they won’t be compatible with the surrounding environment. It won’t have a good effect,” Qiao Weiyang explained.
Xinyue’s eyes sparkled as she listened. “I see. You’re so thoughtful.”
After Qiao Weiyang collected all the information she wanted to know, she roughly confirmed the style and materials in her heart.
Ten thousand yuan was actually more than enough.
On w.a.n.g Shuqi’s side, she frowned as she looked at the budget of 10,000 yuan.
“It’s not easy to make three sets of clothes with such a small amount of money.” w.a.n.g Shuqi shook her head.
Zhang Xi did not want her clothes to be too cheap.
For a program like this, if the clothes were too cheap, it would make one look cheap too. It was really not a good sign.
She whispered to w.a.n.g Shuqi, “Mrs. w.a.n.g, what raw materials do you want to use? You can just use them.”
“But…” w.a.n.g Shuqi thought of the production team’s rules and still had a headache.
“What does that have to do with anything? They said that we can only spend 10,000 yuan, but can’t I give you some fabrics and materials?” Zhang Xi said, “They didn’t say that you can’t accept gifts from others. Besides, this is an acting show after all—not some frugal DIY show. No one will pursue these details.”
w.a.n.g Shuqi thought for a moment and said, “Alright, let’s do as you say.”
She was already a senior elder, so she expected that no one would dare to say anything.
This time, when the production team put her against a newbie like Qiao Weiyang, she was already a little unhappy. The fans on the internet who had never seen the world kept flattering Qiao Weiyang and stepping on her.
She even saw them coming up with a badly made nickname for her on the internet, which became her alias.
If not for Qiao Weiyang’s fans messing around too much, how could she have such a nickname? Because of this, she had a bad att.i.tude toward Qiao Weiyang from the beginning.
In fact, because she liked to have the celebrities she styled have straight and thick bags, many actors and their fans did not have a good impression of her. It was not Qiao Weiyang’s fans who were messing around, but she refused to admit it.
Zhang Xi said to Lil Han, “Lil Han, accompany Mrs. w.a.n.g to choose a suitable fabric. We’ll pay the bill.”
“Understood.” Lil Han immediately took her bag and left.
When Qiao Weiyang drove to the mall, it was already late.
However, this would not affect her choice of fabrics.
There was a floor in this mall that specialized in selling fabric. There were not many customers. Those who could shop here were basically designer teams or companies. Very few individual customers came here to shop.
Qiao Weiyang browsed as she walked.
The price of these fabrics was not too expensive. The few designs she had her eyes on looked alright.
Just as she was asking for the price, she heard a familiar voice say, “Mrs. w.a.n.g, these fabrics look a little inferior. Why don’t we forget about it?”
Qiao Weiyang turned around and saw Lil Han standing behind her, along with w.a.n.g Shuqi. The two of them were also looking at various fabrics.
Lil Han also saw Qiao Weiyang and said with a smile, “Ms. Qiao, you’re here too.”
“Mm, what a coincidence.” Qiao Weiyang did not have a good impression of Lil Han. She did not smile, and her tone was calm.
Lil Han had been scolded by her before. Now that she saw her like this, she asked, “Ms. Qiao, why are you alone? Don’t you have any friends or studio staff to help you? Are you… worried that others will see your design and secretly copy it? Then shouldn’t I avoid looking at the fabrics you buy? Otherwise, if you say that Mrs. w.a.n.g plagiarized you, it’ll really be hard to explain.”
She was deliberately mocking Qiao Weiyang’s incident with Qiao Jierou.
