Chapter 327: Wearing a Dragon
Chapter 327: Wearing a Dragon
The relocation of a crew is a huge project, especially for "Jiang Shan Tan", which has a large crew and equipment, and also has to move across provinces, which is very troublesome.
The scheduling issue had nothing to do with Yu Jiang, so she was very free during the week of the transfer.
Ran Feng has a stage performance these two days, and spends the rest of the time writing songs.
August is almost here, and he still has too many songs to release an album, let alone an EP, all because of the filming.
Yu Jiang was too free and didn't want to disturb his creation. Every day, apart from eating the delicious food made by Wang Dandan, he would exercise, trying to offset the two and not gain weight.
The day before going to the film and television city, Yu Jiang went to see Qin Shuyu. It was almost time for the film festival, and Gong Jianan asked her to make some costumes.
Qin Shuyu moved and now lives in the villa area where Zhuang Leyi used to live.
Yu Jiang was very surprised by this. She had said before that she would not live in a villa without any features, and would rather live in an alley with access to a public toilet for the rest of her life.
As soon as they met, Yu Jiang teased her and was slapped in the face, "Oh, I thought I heard it wrong on the phone, is this still the Qin Erbao we want to live in seclusion in the city?"
Qin Shuyu fiddled with her fabrics in annoyance. "It's my brother. He insisted that my living environment was not good, so he bought my yard and the two next door and rebuilt them."
Yu Jiang was speechless. Anyway, she had been like this all these years. She said that she didn't rely on her family, but in fact her brother was worried about her.
When measuring the size, Qin Shuyu complained: "You have gained a lot of weight recently. Is it because of love that you have gained the legendary happy weight?"
Gong Jianan, who was playing with a cat nearby, rushed over and covered Yu Jiang's ears, "Baby, we don't want to listen, it's a bad review!"
Yu Jiang pushed her away and said, "It's because Nan Nan found me a driver who is also a chef. His cooking is really delicious. That's why I gained so much weight!"
After measuring her size, Qin Shuyu patted her butt and said, "You are just the right size. The fat has gone to where it should go."
Yu Jiang was speechless after being bullied. Gong Jianan picked up the big white cat and ravaged it cruelly, "How dare you bully my artist?! The son should pay for the mother's debt. Let your son sell himself to pay off the debt!"
Qin Shuyu looked at her with disdain, "Although my son is more handsome than Pan An, he has been killed. I advise you not to have such wishful thinking."
The works that may be nominated for awards this year are "Lian Xiang Ban" and "Shi Men".
The domestic version of "The Legend of Concubine Zhen" was cut into pieces, but the version released overseas is still very complete and can make a big splash at foreign film festivals.
"Master" is a commercial film with very good box office. Its plot and pictures are also among the top few in this year's commercial films, so it has a high chance of winning an award.
Zhou Yumeng had talked to Gong Jianan before and the film festival she wanted to submit her film for review was the Cannes Film Festival.
Yu Jiang was previously nominated together with Monica at the Cannes Film Festival but unfortunately lost. This time she is confident that she will win the Best Actress award.
As the most influential international film festival, the Cannes Film Festival is not only of high quality, but also famous for its red carpet segment.
You can be more casual at other film festivals, but the Cannes red carpet, which has a very high exposure rate, cannot be sloppy at all.
When Gong Jianan got the news that she was going to the Cannes Film Festival, she told Qin Shuyu about it, and she also designed several illustrations in advance.
The last time she went to the Cannes Film Festival, she prepared an emerald green cheongsam embroidered with a phoenix for Yu Jiang. The bold use of colors and exquisite embroidery attracted foreign reporters who kept taking pictures of her.
Although Monica won the Best Actress award, Yu Jiang was the one who received the highest international exposure that year.
Now it is time for Qin Shuyu to show her strength again. The fabrics required for several designs have been prepared long ago, and the embroiderer of Jinxiu Pavilion has also made an appointment, waiting for Yu Jiang to choose the style.
Among the many drawings, the one that Yu Jiang likes the most is the royal blue backless cheongsam.
On the thick royal blue fabric, there is a soaring silver dragon embroidered with silver thread. The whole dragon is wrapped around the cheongsam, from the tail at the hem to the dragon whiskers at the collar. The design is very domineering just by looking at it.
Because Yu Jiang doesn't like wearing jewelry, the dragon's body is embellished with pearls and opals. The effect may not be apparent just by looking at the design drawing, but it may be more shocking when the clothes are released.
Qin Shuyu shared the same idea as her, believing that this dress should be a hit at an event like the Cannes Film Festival.
But Gong Jianan is more optimistic about the black-based long gown with court dress elements. She thinks Yu Jiang has worn cheongsam too many times at film festivals and should change.
The suit she chose is also a good one. The embroidery on the chest is a Cantonese peacock, and the sea and river cliff patterns on the hem of the skirt are completely imitations of the old dragon robe patterns.
Although the main color is black, the fabric is thin and light and not dull. All the embroidered parts are made of peacock feathers. It looks dazzling when walking. It should be the most dazzling black in the whole venue.
It can be seen that they all attach great importance to their outfits for this film festival, and the two sets they chose are the most expensive.
The two of them held different opinions. Qin Shuyu thought they were both good, but she couldn't explain why.
In the end, the two used rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner. Yu Jiang lost as expected and reluctantly listened to Gong Jianan.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Gong Jianan decided: "Then let's make two sets, and wear the other one at the Tallinn Night Film Festival."
Yu Jiang said dissatisfiedly: "Then the suit you chose will be worn at the Tallinn Film Festival, and I will wear my Dalong suit at the Cannes Film Festival!"
"Hey! You can't afford to lose. Do you understand that you should accept the loss?"
"I don't understand!" Yu Jiang, who had lost so many games, started to cheat. "Monica also has a work this year. I have to suppress her with the big dragon!"
Qin Shuyu smiled and said, "So the reason you lost last time was because you didn't wear the Baron?"
"Yes!" Yu Jiang nodded vigorously. "I lost last time when I wore the phoenix. If I really wear the peacock this time, won't I lose even more miserably?"
It was a ridiculous excuse, she just made it up because she wanted to wear that outfit. I don’t know if it was because her expression was sure enough or what, but Gong Jianan actually believed it.
"You're right, it does seem to make sense!" She looked as if something had suddenly dawned on her, like a foolish believer who had been fooled by a deity.
Qin Shuyu gave them a thumbs up and said, "You two are really the ones! No matter what, you have to wear them. I'll let them make them first, and you can decide the rest by yourselves."
Yu Jiang finally fooled Gong Jianan for a long time and convinced her that as long as she wore the big dragon, she would win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Having achieved her goal, Yu Jiang happily went to eat the delicious food Qin Dabao bought for her sister. Since she had nothing to do, she let them talk.
After finalizing the completion time and two alternative dresses, the two went home.
Originally, Gong Jianan wanted to say goodbye to the big white cat, but it turned out that the cat was so scared of being bullied by her that it hid in some corner.
Yu Jiang, who was almost full after eating snacks, went home and drank a big bowl of Wang Dandan’s delicious soup.
If she wasn't afraid that the size she just measured would change, she would have had a proper meal.
