A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return Chapter 1337 Criticize Violently

Xia Yingluo agreed.

A few days later, she went to the studio as promised.

The staff in the studio were busy setting up the scene and adjusting the equipment. Xia Yingluo was surrounded by agents and assistants as she walked through the crowd to a special dressing room to change and put on her makeup. This spring advertising blockbuster followed the surreal science fiction storyline in order to match the upcoming movie. The theme “Star Era. Blossom” sounded so magical and poetic.

They matched her cold and charming female warrior costumes.

The technology on Earth was backward. To create a gorgeous female warrior armor, they had to rely on special effects makeup. Various cosmetics and materials were put on Xia Yingluo layer by layer. Under the bright lights, many people felt a thin layer of sweat on their bodies.

Her manager Tan Ying brought a glass of water to Xia Yingluo. “Ice lemonade, you must cool down. There must be no sweat on your face or it’ll affect your makeup.”

Xia Yingluo stood in an open space with several special effects makeup artists fiddling with her head. Her arm was fitted with a rocket launcher that was so tall and heavy she almost couldn’t lift her arm. She didn’t reach out to take the glass that Tan Ying handed over and only said, “Thank you, Uncle Tan. I’m not hot.” Yes, this Uncle Tan was the one who was once the famous principal of the Skyart Training Camp, who later became Li Lei’s assistant and was transferred back to the headquarters to help. Tan Ying had no big ambitions and retired after spending ten years with Li Lei. He returned to China to retire and accompany his wife and children.

This time, because Xia Yingluo wanted to debut as an entertainer, Li Lei wasn’t assured to give his baby daughter to another agent, so he asked him to return to work again.

Tan Ying wasn’t afraid of her due to his abundance of experience. “Drink it. You’re not hot now, but it doesn’t mean you won’t be later. If the makeup has to be re-applied, such a thick layer will take hours. Your time is precious now. In the evening, you have an exclusive interview with a magazine, all of whom are waiting for you. You don’t want to be told you’re pulling your weight when you’ve just debuted, do you?”

Xia Yingluo was speechless. She had only said she wasn’t hot, but it led to such a long series of lectures from Uncle Tan. She really… wanted to cry.

She couldn’t tell him that her constitution was different from ordinary people and she didn’t sweat as much?

She obediently took the iced lemonade and drank it.

Over there, several special-effect makeup artists finally worked out Xia Yingluo’s armor and straightened up. Chief Jerry wiped his sweat, exhaled, and said, “Finally, I’ll never design such a complicated thing again. It’s really killing me. Fortunately, this outfit isn’t used often in the movie. Otherwise, all the stylists are going to cry.”

Xia Yingluo also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was neither hot nor tired, it was boring to have to stand for so long.

“But it looks good, doesn’t it?” She looked at Jerry with a smile. “There are a few places here that I suggested you do. Are you complaining about me like this?”

“No, I won’t dare to.” Jerry waved his hands hurriedly. He couldn’t mess with this strong superwoman. “Ms. Xia, your design is really good, especially the arc on the armrests. How did you even think of it? Not to mention as a performance prop, such a design is really practical on the battlefield, and it’s not inferior at all.”

This compliment was true. Xia Yingluo’s armor design details were adjusted according to her previous life’s combat experience and were a hundred percent practical.

Of course, when placed in movies and commercials, it added realism and bloody intentions to the armor.

Xia Yingluo smiled.

Tan Ying looked at the watch impatiently. “Jerry, don’t try to curry favor here. Anyway, you’re joining the group already when the movie production starts. Can’t you curry favor then? Hurry up and tell the director that Yingluo’s makeup is done. We have to leave as soon as possible, we’re already late.” This set of armor was harder to wear than expected and wasted a lot of time. Strangely, it should have been filmed long ago, but the director and the photography team actually didn’t rush them.

As the chief stylist, Jerry didn’t need to do these errands, but the person who instructed him was Tan Ying, an old hand in the entertainment industry. He didn’t mind running this trip. However, a long time passed and he was still not back. Tan Ying frowned and felt something was wrong, so he said to Xia Yingluo, “You wait here, I’ll take a look.”

Xia Yingluo had been standing for a long time, and she didn’t want to continue to stand here stupidly, so she said, “I will go too.”

Tan Ying glanced at her without stopping her

The BOSS had called him here not to be an agent, but a nanny for her. Manager Tan still remembered how difficult her mother had been back then. Following the principle of not finding more trouble for himself, he thought it was better to submit to her and didn’t refute.

The two came to the shooting area together.

Over there, Jerry was arguing with the director. “What, how could you substitute her like that? Do you know how hard it was to do her costume! All the props and accessories were made according to the size of Ms. Xia. Her height, waist, face shape… If you change the actor, we’ll have to redo everything, do you know that! You’re crazy!”

The director whispered something.

Jerry was even more agitated. “Do you understand the styling or I understand it? The same costume will be different as long as it differs one centimeter on different people! Do you know how long our styling team worked overtime for this set?! You want to change the actor? Okay! I’ll destroy all these things! Don’t waste your money on any random cat or dog and ruin my reputation!”

“How is Tang Yuan a random cat or dog!” The director was also agitated. He raised his voice and could be heard at a distance of five or six meters. “Ms. Tang is the Movie Queen! Even if the size of the props is too small, it won’t ruin your reputation! Do you think I wanted to change the actor? What can I do if the management ordered me to do so? If you have the ability, you can talk to Huasini’s boss!”

Xia Yingluo’s expression turned cold.

Even after listening to a few words, she understood the situation—Huanisi wanted to substitute her for Tang Yuan.

She turned her head and glanced at Tan Ying.

At this time, it was time for the agent to step in. Tan Ying gave her a slightly restless look and stepped in front of the disputed crowd. “What’s going on?”

His calm voice brought annoyance, and the air at the scene froze immediately.

When the director saw him, he felt a little guilty, and first smiled at him. “Mr. Tan, why are you here, sit, sit.”

Tan Ying didn’t sit down and said directly, “I heard that you want to remove Yingluo?” His voice wasn’t high, but it held invisible pressure.

The director wanted to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, but he held back. “I also received the order half an hour ago. There was no explanation as to why. Mr. Tan, how did you fall out with Huanisi?”
