She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1079 - 896: Super Star 70 (4000)_2
Of course, in the end, they still need to try on makeup for the audition to decide. She knows that the success of a film most relies on costumes and makeup. If the details aren’t done right, no amount of talking will help. Also, her novel’s era background is quite close to the Song Dynasty. She studied the Song Dynasty’s etiquette and found that it doesn’t differ much from what she wrote. However, that being said, she still plans to invite teachers from relevant fields for retraining.
Then there’s the matter of characters’ costumes and accessories. In the true ancient harem, court, the distinctions in ranks were very clear. Different ranks wore clothing of different regulations. The lower the rank, the simpler the attire, and it was far less glamorous than what’s shown in later films. Nor was it the colorful spectacle seen in TV dramas where all the concubines are beautiful. In reality, the harem also had women with average or even unattractive looks, but often, these women had strong family connections.
That’s why Hua Yan’s "Heiress Strategy" gives the reader a realistic vibe. It feels real because it reflects the ancient past the female protagonist once lived through.
In fact, the specific memories are already very blurred. It’s only when writing these kinds of scenes that her mind involuntarily supplies some fragments. Combining these with word snippets, or body actions, then adding imagination, only then did "Heiress Strategy" come into being. It’s a big female lead drama, and if filmed well, it will naturally explode. If not, it will flop so hard even one’s parents wouldn’t recognize it. Thus, Hua Yan plans to personally supervise decisions she can make.
After waiting for about three to four days, the final exam results were sent to the parents’ phones. She didn’t have parents, so it was naturally sent to her phone.
In the comprehensive ranking, once again she ranked eternally as Second, while the first was still Jin Yuanqing. This person took a month’s leave in the middle, yet didn’t fall behind in academics. Compared to her own life filled with cheating and shortcuts, he truly is the genius destined by the heavens.
Molly excitedly sent a WeChat message stating her rank was 123. Hearing this news, she was sincerely happy for her.
As for professional results, Hua Yan was ranked fifth in her year, while Molly was in the thirties. If only considering the profession, she could indeed get into the Music College in the future.
After all, they both had won awards; how bad could they really be?
Molly didn’t meet up with her again as she was at the airport ready to board a flight to Country H. It seemed she wouldn’t return until after the New Year.
Hua Yan replied with some precautions, then closed her phone.
During the holiday, there’s no filming, but her stock still needs post-production. Simultaneously, her own app needs updating and streaming because the more fans she has, the greater the potential for future traffic.
Hua Yan had set a role aside for Molly, that of a Maid to a bratty Commandery Princess, a girl even more unruly than the princess. She thought this role was tailor-made for Molly. After all, if she’s free, why not have some fun filming a drama? In case they really face a funding crisis later, she wouldn’t mind shamelessly seeking Uncle Mo’s help. Molly might naturally prove to be unexpectedly useful, so if she’s being called calculating, so be it, isn’t this just necessary?
"Hey, where are you? I’m on break, and I have to stay with you this winter vacation, or else I’ll be homeless, so pitiful."
On the phone, Hua Yan rolled her eyes at him: "Where are you?"
"Me? I’m at your complex’s entrance. Uh~~~ wait, you better not come back. Your cheap dad is lurking here again."
Hua Yan frowned; that was indeed annoying. Then, instantly she thought of her little apartment and recalled that an agent mentioned a tenant had moved out?
She immediately called to inquire and, finding it to be true, instantly told Ling Yao.
"Then I’m not going back. You can stay if you want; I won’t be living there."
"Hey, wait a moment. If you’re not staying here, where are you staying? I want to join you; since you cook for me, this is what I’m after. Now you’re asking me to go to your house alone, how is that different from staying in the dorm? You’re not coming back? Come on, sister, take me with you, I can transform into a guardian by your side, promising not to mess things up."
The pitiful tone made Hua Yan a bit soft-hearted. After some thought, she told him the address of the small apartment.
"The place was just vacated, it needs cleaning. Come help clean, and I’ll have someone change the lock. It might take a few days of painstaking effort before we can move in."
The small apartment she hadn’t visited in a year or two. She had heard before from the agency that it was well-maintained. After getting the lock changed by a locksmith company while holding her property certificate, she found that the one-bedroom, one-living-room layout was indeed preserved well enough; at least the place was cleaned by the previous occupants before leaving. The main issue wasn’t whether she personally stayed there, but rather the lack of places for a hot shower and cooking.
